Chapter 44 Price

"That's good, such a great victory always needs a little celebration."

Facing his malicious eyes and vague words, Dongfang Jin was very nervous and could only try to see the scene on the battlefield. Fortunately, at this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from behind. It turned out that the princess was coming. She was very far away.

He opened his mouth and said: "Congratulations Marquis, this great victory will go down in history."

This sentence solved the problem for her and allowed Wang Jianting to go talk to the princess.

Seeing his respectful and careful look in front of the princess, and remembering how strong and bullying he had just been towards her, Dongfang Jin felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.

"How many enemies were killed in this battle?" Liu Yu asked. She was riding a chestnut war horse. The tall war horse made her look a bit petite.

She has tried hard to pretend to be calm, acting as if she is used to such scenes, accustomed to such fruitful victories, so that she still looks aloof and maintains her dignity as a princess of the great kingdom of heaven, otherwise she would already be a little unaware

I was at a loss and didn't know how to face the man in front of me.

More than a hundred days ago, she only had Duyanghou in her eyes, not his son who was rumored to be a waste. The condition proposed by Duyanghou was to give his son power and life protection. Originally, what he wanted was

If she marries into the Wang family, then not only Heyang but also Linyinbao will surrender in the future, opening the east gate for the Han army. The Marquis of Duyang also promised to personally lead his elite troops to fight for her, and even promised not to retreat until death.

Fang rest.

At the beginning, Duyang's candidate for marriage was his eldest son Wang Kun. Liu Yu was still hesitant. After all, although Wang Lie held important positions and was brave and good at fighting, he was just a prince of Zhao State.

Although Liu Yu was a little moved when she saw Du Yanghou's eager and sincere look, she thought of her dead father.

Her grandfather once told her quietly that after the prince's rebellion, her mother knew that she would end badly if she lived, so she hanged herself to death. Only her father, the former prince of the Han Empire, kept gritting his teeth and endured all kinds of torture just to protect her.

At that time, the prime minister Tian Nianqiu, holding the jade ax given by the emperor, scolded and beat her father in front of the Yushitai officials, forcing him to confess. The prince was beaten until he cried bitterly and his face was covered with blood.

Thinking of those sad and painful events, she could not help but feel some compassion for Du Yanghou, who was risking everything for her son.

Then two things happened that strengthened her confidence.

One was when the emperor was discussing the war on the Eastern Front with his most trusted generals and hussar generals, he proposed that if he wanted to march to the east, he would divide his army into two groups.

All the way from the south along the river to Tongguan to the east, where the roads are wide and the waterways are convenient, which is convenient for the army to move.

However, Tongguan Pass is dangerous and may not be captured for a while, and all troops cannot be pressed to the south. Therefore, there is another route to send troops from the north. Cross Langshui and go directly to Linyin Fort, then cross Heyang Town and take the north road of Hongshan to march eastward.

, marched directly to Wu'an, and captured Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Then the army headed east from the many mountain roads between Taishan Mountains, taking the Feng River to bypass Tongguan.

This news was told to her by Dongfang Jin, and Liu Yu knew that it must have come from the mouth of his father, Shaofu Shangshu Ling Dongfang Dian. Only he could accompany the emperor at any time to talk about world affairs, even these important matters.

No matter what purpose Dongfang Dian had for telling her the news, the importance of Linyinbao and Heyang in His Majesty's eyes is self-evident, and the importance to the Han Empire is also self-evident. As long as Linyinbao is captured,

The army in the north will be able to move forward unimpeded, and the difficulties and obstacles in the south can be bypassed. I don’t know how many lives of soldiers can be saved, and how many lives of the people can be saved.

So from that time on, she gradually became determined in her heart, and she would obtain the Linyin Castle no matter what, no matter the cost.

The second is that Du Yanghou's eldest son was killed when he was out on patrol just when things started to take shape.

At that time, he took a private soldier to patrol the outskirts of the Boulevard Fort in place of his father.

When passing by a village entrance, he saw hungry people begging on the side of the road. The kind-hearted eldest son of Duyang Hou dismounted his horse and went to give alms without much thought, leaving his own soldiers behind. As a result, the assassin hiding behind a tree stump sealed his throat with a dagger.

, then they caught the assassin and interrogated him to find out who was behind the assassination. He was actually related to the Beidi County Governor of the Han Empire. It was the Beidi County Governor who found him and offered him a high price to assassinate him.

Both Liu Yu and Dongfang Jin immediately thought that the governor of Beidi County was the son-in-law of Tian Nianqiu, the Prime Minister of the Han Empire.

Many past events came to mind. At that time, I immediately thought that Prime Minister Tian Nianqiu was one of the main people who brought down the prince. My heart suddenly became more determined. The fact that they sent assassins to kill the eldest son of Duyang Hou showed that they were afraid. The more they were afraid, the more they were afraid.

The more I have to do this!——

Although she was determined to marry Duyang Hou in exchange for Dongmen Gate, it can be seen that Liu Yu still hesitated when she saw her second son.

She remembered the first time she saw that guy. He was riding a tall horse, but he had two men to help him pull the reins. He was tall, but when he dismounted, he had to have someone bring him wooden steps at any time.

On weekdays, he often takes people to the market outside Linyinbao to ask for things from the people, and whatever he likes will suffer.

He was usually nowhere to be seen in the school grounds. He was forced to go there several times by Du Yanghou, once he fainted from the sun, and once he couldn't draw a military longbow and almost made his father angry to death.

Although she had tried her best to convince herself to consider the matter by putting national interests first, she still flinched a little when she saw the guy in front of her, no matter how ruthless he was.

It seems like more than a hundred days have passed.

"At least more than three thousand two hundred." The tall young man in front of him said confidently: "The results of the battle will only be greater, and some of them cannot be confirmed until dawn. The most important thing is that Maling dropped a large amount of food and grass baggage, which is enough to support our army.

The army continues to advance and feed the prisoners of war."

"More than three thousand." Liu Yu looked at the large number of prisoners in the distance who were being gathered together by Heyang soldiers. There were mountains of armor and weapons piled up in the distance. Many seriously injured Ma Ling soldiers were lining up to be beheaded one by one by Heyang soldiers.

The corpses on the battlefield were being dragged away and piled up one after another. Every soldier passing by them stopped and solemnly saluted, shouting "Marquis", "Your Excellency" and the like.

Everything was like a dream, so much so that until now she was doubting whether the fierce battle, the fierce battles, and the rivers of blood on this day were real. The figure of the young man riding the tall horse in front of her seemed real. Was he the person she had met before?

She really wanted to sum it all up with the sentence "Tiger father has no dog son" like others, but she always felt that it was too hasty and dreamy.

But she clearly understood what was in her heart. Behind the huge shock and surprise was a surprise! If she had such allies and assistants, many of the things she thought about might actually be realized one by one!

As for what the price was, she blushed slightly when she thought of this, and quickly pretended to be serious and asked: "What are you going to do next?"
