Chapter 42: The Price of Vanity

Qin Hu returned to his tent and met Gao Yuyao and Qin An.

Gao Yuyao was disguised as a soldier by Qin Hu and hid. After all, he was a centurion now and it was normal for him to have a soldier by his side.

But if someone discovers that he is hiding a woman, it will be a big sin, so he must send Gao Yuyao away as soon as possible. The best opportunity is in front of him.

"Brother Qin, you are back."

Over the past few days, Gao Yuyao has been marching with Qin Hu all the way from the Dayu Dynasty back to the land of Liaodong Kingdom, but she does not know this place at all and has no chance to escape alone.

She has only lived in Pingjingfu, the capital of Liaodong Kingdom, since she was a child, and is very unfamiliar with this vast and barren land.

"Yu Yao, I just got the news that Zhongmu Hou is fine. Not only is he fine, he is living a very comfortable life."

"Emperor Dayu adopted the strategy of attacking your Liaodong Kingdom with the highest priority. He treated Marquis Zhongmou very favorably, and set up a surrender ambassador in each legion to receive those Liaodong people who surrendered actively and passively, and treated them

Everyone took great care of me.”

Qin Hu's words were not nonsense. During the march these days, Yu Wenshu held many meetings for them, conveyed the emperor's will, and told them the official battle report.

And the news he got from Yuwenshu and the news Luo Qing passed to him were sometimes the same, and sometimes they were completely different.

For example, when Jing Yuanheng attacked Liaodong City, Yuwen reported that he was victorious and beat Liaodong City to a pulp, and the city was destroyed within a day or two.

The news from Luo Qing was rather unbelievable.

Luo Qing sent someone to tell Qin Hu that the current emperor had adopted an unprecedented method to attack the city. He ordered Jing Yuanheng to say that if the soldiers of Liaodong Kingdom surrendered, they must demonstrate our great nation style.

, stop the attack immediately and allow the surrendered ambassador to receive him well and appease him.

There is nothing wrong with being lenient to others, but this kind of thing should never happen on the battlefield. The battlefield is a place where people die, and it is an ever-changing Shura field. It is a joke to use lenience in such a place.

The people of Liaodong immediately regarded the Yu Dynasty as a fool. Their few men and horses could not stop the crazy attack of hundreds of thousands of troops. In the end, even the city wall was cut with several holes by the Yu Dynasty's horizontal sword.

However, whenever the situation in Liaodongfang was critical and the city was about to fall, the soldiers guarding the city would cry and shout for surrender. Jing Yuanheng quickly sent Pegasus to report to the emperor. However, Liaodong City was three to four hundred miles away from the base camp.

The scouts brought the imperial edict back, and they calmed down again and refused to surrender.

Moreover, even the city had been temporarily repaired with wood, so the fighting continued.

This kind of thing has happened three or four times now. The soldiers of Yu Dynasty fell one after another. The casualties were more than ten times that of Liaodong Kingdom, but the city still stood still, and the emperor still insisted on his offensive.

I have no intention of correcting my original intention at all.

Yang Shou, the destined emperor, put all the responsibilities on the frontline soldiers. A few days ago, he personally inspected the Liaodong City. After finishing the work, he almost killed all Jing Yuanheng's men.

The old man really couldn't understand why such a dilapidated city couldn't be conquered. He was not a person who had never fought in a war. Is it possible to lie to him?

Yang Shou personally lectured the generals and told them: "You people, relying on your wealthy and aristocratic families, have taken me for a fool. When I was in the capital, some of you were very opposed to my personal expedition. Are you afraid?"

Did I see your slacking off?"

"But now I have seen them all. I will give you one more chance to move forward and capture Liaodong City. Otherwise, I will kill you all."

After all the generals heard this, they were trembling all over. They didn't know whether they were scared or angry.

In addition, Luo Qing also told him a very terrifying thing, which almost made Qin Hu's heart sink to the bottom of the sea.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy came to protect him and led a hundred thousand naval troops. They set out from Donglai County, entered the Datong River from the Yellow Sea, and sailed directly to a place less than 60 miles away from Pingyang City.

This was originally a tactic of separate attacks and combined attacks. Before leaving, Lai Hu'er had made an agreement with all the military generals. The armies would converge at the Yalu River and then directly level the city. After Lai Hu'er landed, he only needed to

Stand firm on the shore and wait for the army to come and join forces.

Then, with the majestic appearance of a million-strong army, flags flying, and drums playing loudly, they would wait for the arrival of the Emperor's Holy Majesty, and surround Pingyuan City with water.

This is the most perfect ending.

The current emperor just wants to see the fearful and desperate face of Emperor Gao Yuan of Liaodong Kingdom. Only in that way can he satisfy his old man's vanity.

In fact, Qin Hu felt that Gaoyuan should surrender now.

Because as long as he satisfies Yang Shou's vanity and crawls at the foot of his old man in fear and shouts long live, Yang Shou will definitely retreat with satisfaction, and will also reward him with hundreds of miles of land just like he did with Tuque Khan.

, hundreds of thousands of bolts of silk, countless money, grain, gold and silver, the impoverished Liaodong Kingdom suddenly became a well-off society.

However, Emperor Gao of the Liaodong Kingdom did not understand the thoughts of the Tianming Emperor of the Yu Dynasty. He was only afraid of death. When Yang Shou summoned him to the Tuque Royal Court, he did not dare to go. He directly asked Yang, who loved face the most, to meet him.

Shou lost face, and he did so in front of the Great Khan of Tuque.

If you say he doesn't beat you, who will he beat?

Having said that, Luo Qing told Qin Hu that Lai Hu'er might have lost the battle. Even he didn't know the details yet, but one thing was certain that Lai Hu'er had violated the agreement.

At first, Lai Hu'er gained momentum quickly, defeating tens of thousands of Liaodong Kingdom's field legions at the seaside, and steadily gained a foothold. At this time, he should have set up camp on the dock.

But Lai Hu'er misjudged the situation. He thought that the soldiers of Liaodong Kingdom were already timid, and he wanted to take the great credit of capturing the Emperor of Liaodong Kingdom alive alone.

Without understanding the terrain and without a leading party, he rashly formed a lone army to attack Pingyuan. According to rumors, he was blocked by a group of monks with high martial arts skills in a large temple outside the city. Then,

People from the Liaodong Kingdom came in from the outside and cooperated with the outside, causing the loss of more than half of his troops.

Then he had withdrawn on his own.

Even Luo Qing himself doesn't know whether this news is true or false, so Qin Hu is still half-convinced.

So he didn't think about it for the time being. What he had to do now was to send Gao Yuyao away quickly and then capture Buyeo City.

He doesn't care whether others fail. Liaodong is his chance to make a comeback. He, Qin Hu, must win. No matter what means he uses, he will win.
