(Thanks to book friend 121130181745572 for support of monthly tickets. I beg for monthly tickets. There is only one monthly ticket in two days. Muzi is very injured and very injured!)
The sound of the forest lingers in my ears.
The water of the Biliu River flows, winding through the riverbed between the mountains, and the moonlight shines on the water. Under the trees, more than a dozen war horses neigh and their hooves stumble on the soft ground covered with fallen leaves. A group of people lowered their voices, joking softly, relaxing their nervous moods.
She sat on a sheepskin mat, resting with her back against the tree pole, closing her eyes, but from time to time she could hear the clanging sounds of the collision of guns and axes and the friction of the iron armor. Although it was a little weak, these sounds still made it difficult for her to calm down.
"Princess, it's getting late." Gao Jin said. He was the chief guard of Gao Zhaokang, the eldest son of Jili City. Last time he was captured in Weiba City with Gao Zhaokang. Gao Dexin took four mountain cities and five thousand military horses to Li Jing and took them back. As soon as he returned to Jili City, Gao Zhaokang immediately gave him an important task, asking him to escort his wife, that is, the princess Da Yueer, who is responsible for the King of Bohai, returned to the Longquan Mansion of Bohai Kingdom.
The battle between Jili City and Khitan was not smooth. After the fall of Longtan Mountain City, the Khitans occupied an important bridgehead fortress east of Jili City. The soldiers of the Lianshu family and the Yelu family guarded Longtan Mountain City and began to accumulate food and grass in the mountain city, as if they were preparing to fight a protracted battle with them.
But the Tang people made a comeback at this time. Li Jing not only took away the four mountain cities east of Jili City, but now 20,000 soldiers are behind them. This made Gao Dexin worried. If Li Jing was on their backs when he was at ease, they would be really done.
In the end, Gao Zhaokang suggested that his chief guard take the princess back to Shangjing Longquan Mansion and ask for reinforcements from the Bohai King Da Xuanxi. If it were before, Gao Dexin would never want the Bohai Army to enter Liaodong, let alone invite the Bohai Army to enter Jilizhou. But now, under the threat of the Khitans and the Tang people, this is the only way.
Gao Jin brought fifty guards, all of whom were elite. Their mission was to travel through Liaodong and send the princess back to Longquan Mansion safely. Originally, Gao Dexin was going to let Gao Zhaokang go to the capital in person, but Gao Zhaokang had just been captured by the Tang army once, and his heart was now on fire. Although he could not seek revenge from the Tang people immediately, he was now determined to spread the fire on the Khitans and was unwilling to leave. In the end, he had to hand over the task to the guard chief Gao Jin. Gao Zhaokang originally wanted to transfer one hundred elite cavalry to escort, but the princess Dayueer insisted that Jili City now needs more troops and only ten guards were enough. In the end, they reached a compromise and sent fifty guards.
"Let's go!" Da Yue'er replied. Although she had been running for a long time on horseback, she was tired now. But she knew that the place she was traveling now was the territory occupied by the Tang people. The best route should have been to leave Jili City and go northeast, but because Khitan cavalry had appeared there from time to time, for safety reasons, she finally decided to go south first. This would have to pass through several areas that had just been ceded to the Tang people in Weiba Mountain City, but between the Khitans and the Tang people. In the end, they chose to pass through the territory of the Tang people. After all, they were fighting with the Khitans and just reached a peace agreement with the Tang people.
However, for safety reasons, Dayue'er only brought two martial maids who could ride and shoot well and were good at following him, and no one of the extra people was brought. Moreover, they did not take a carriage, but all rode together, and chose to rush through the Tangren's controlled area at night.
Time is precious, and Dayue'er knows the danger of Jili City at present. The Khitans have more reinforcements this year than in previous years, and the Tang people in the south have made a comeback this year. When the war starts, she knows very clearly what that means, and war means death. Once Jili City is defeated, all those people will either die or become slaves. Now the only one who can save Jili City is her father who sends troops to rescue her.
The forest sounded lightly, the river flowed, and the warm wind blew through a strand of drooping hair. The big moon was very quiet, and many things were not always as they wished, but she was willing to work hard to make better. Her life was always like this. As soon as she was born, her mother passed away. When she grew up, after she understood it, she worked hard to win the favor of her father and other women of her father. Although she had no care of her biological mother, she had always lived a good life.
When she reached the age of sixteen, her father suddenly said to her one day, "Yue'er, the father promised the proposal of King Gao Dexin of Korea, and was ready to let you marry his eldest son Gao Zhaokang." The father sighed at the time that the Gao family had great prestige in Liaodong. Now that Liaodong is gradually out of control of the Bohai Kingdom, he hopes to win over the Gao family through marriage.
She did not refuse this sudden marriage and married General Gao Zhaokang, who was ten years older than her and had five or six concubines. From Shangjing Longquan Mansion, she suddenly married to Jilizhou in Liaodong, Dayue'er did not complain. She tried hard to remember her mission. After marrying to Jilizhou, she was filial to Gao Dexin and gentle and considerate to take care of Gao Zhaokang. In the past few years after her marriage, Gao Dexin and his son became much closer to the Bohai Kingdom.
Seeing that the hard work was not wasted, the Khitans and the Tang people came in a fierce manner again. Gao Dexin and Gao Zhaokang asked her to return to Longquan Mansion to bring reinforcements, but she did not hesitate at all.
In order to help the Bohai Kingdom win over the Gao family and move to Liaodong, she traveled thousands of miles to return to Longquan Mansion, Shangjing.
For her husband, she is willing to take this risk.
Although the night wind was warm, she felt cold when she thought of Jilizhou behind her. She went to help her rescue soldiers, and even if she could persuade her father to bring them to help them, I don’t know if the Gao family could last until that time. Her life with her husband was still harmonious, and the only regret was that she could not have a child or half of her daughter.
Suddenly, a sharp bird song came from the distance, one, then the second, and the third!
Gao Jin's face changed: "It's Xiongkulu!" Xiongkulu is Sushen's language, which means Haidongqing in Chinese. It means the highest and fastest bird in the world, and has the meaning of "the god of ten thousand eagles". It is said that one hundred thousand eagles only produced one "Haidongqing", which is the highest totem of many tribes in Haidong. It represents the spirit of bravery, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strength, pioneering, enterprising, always upward and never giving up. However, by this time, from the earliest totem deified Haidongqing, Haidongqing, has gradually become popular. At this time, Haidongqing is a kind of carving. It carved out of Liaodong. The most handsome one is called Haidongqing.
Hai Dongqing is the overlord of the air, and such huge eagles generally do not appear in groups. When he heard three consecutive calls from Hai Dongqing, Gao Jin's face changed drastically. This situation can only show that one possibility is that these Hai Dongqing are domesticated.
The other party's identity must be extremely noble if he can bring three domesticated Haidong. Even Gao Dexin has only one Haidongqing. This has been a huge struggle. A good Haidongqing is worth 100,000 yuan, equivalent to the price of five hundred excellent war horses.
It was a high-pitched and sharp tremor, like a cold hand that crossed Dayue's back. After staying in Liaodong for so long, Dayue'er also knew very well what it meant to be able to bring three tame Haidongqing people.
This is the edge of the Biliu River at the foot of Weiba Mountain City. Weiba Mountain City is now a Tang Dynasty person. The Tang Dynasty with the highest status in the city is the Tang Dynasty who captured his husband, seized Weiba Mountain City, and forced the Gao family to ced three other mountain cities. He also offered 5,000 military horses, Li Jing, the governor of the Duke of Zhendong County, the Andong Protectorate of the Datang Dynasty, and the envoy of the Zhendong Army.
"Go away!"
Dayue'er's jade face was covered with a layer of frost and she shouted softly. Dayue'er, two martial maids, Gao Jin and fifty cavalry guards immediately turned over to the horse. At this time, the sound of iron hooves of war horses had already been heard from afar, and it rang like thunder in the forest.
"Princess, they are here!" Although the two maids were very good, they were all panicked at this time. Da Yue'er said calmly: "Bless the Lord of Heaven, be with us! Let's go!"
From time to time, birds chirping and flying up in the surrounding forest, and horses' hooves in the forest were like thunder.
She could hear their voices, although the distance was far, but it was approaching quickly. The sound of horses galloping, guns, swords and armor fighting, the soldiers muttered themselves, and laughter and scolding rose and fell.
Time seemed to pass in an instant, and the sound became louder and louder. She heard more shouts, someone gave orders, and the water was flying when crossing the stream. The war horse was humming. A soldier was cursing. Finally she saw him.
Although it was only a moment, she knew that it was him, looking through the thin slits in the forest, and she knew very well that it must be him. Even at such a long distance, the figure of the Tang army commander, the legendary young and incredible Anton Protector, was still clearly visible. His black hair was dyed with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight, and the bright red cloak turned in ink. He did not wear a helmet, and a purple-blooded crown on his hair was tied.
As soon as he appeared, he disappeared from her sight, and the armored cloak was once again covered by the bushes. A large group of troops followed him, including officers wearing mountain armor, tall flag bearers, and a large group of guards wearing silver armor and holding silver spears. She estimated in her mind that Li Jing brought at least hundreds or thousands of people.
"You have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender, so you can avoid death. If you resist stubbornly, no one will be left!" A shout came from the forest outside. Li Jing and his soldiers were hiding behind the trees. The forest that was still noisy just now suddenly became quiet. Only the strong man who was surrendering was hiding behind the trunk and shouting loudly.
He pulled out his long knife and inserted it on the ground in front of him, then inserted the arrow in the quiver in front of him, took off his bow and prepared to resist.
Dayuehou looked at the dozens of horses behind him, knowing that even if they broke through the siege, they would never be able to escape. She did not panic and pondered calmly for a moment. Finally, she said: "Guard Gao, put away the weapons and told the opponent, let's abandon the weapons!"
Gao Jin was a little stunned, but looking at the princess's calm face, he had to drop the bow in his hand, raise his hands and walk in front, and loudly express his identity.
Then, a large group of Tang soldiers rushed out of the forest. Dayue Hou saw Li Jing who was guarding everyone. He heard someone say to Li Jing: "My Duke, isn't this boy the chief guard of Gao Zhaokang who we just let go? He actually appeared here in the middle of the night." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Dayue'er, and he was obviously surprised and confused, and then he was excited and excited. He shouted loudly: "My Duke, we have caught a big fish, the one wearing leather armor, white and tender, dressed as a man. I recognize her, Gao Zhaorong's wife, the princess of Bohai Kingdom! When I worked hard with Gao Zhaokang before, I saw her several times, and I would never be wrong."
Da Yue'er was shocked, and at this time she finally recognized the man who had broken his identity. She vaguely remembered that this man seemed to be named Langya. It is said that this husband lost Weiba Mountain City this time, and after he defected to Li Jing, he used a trick to borrow food as an excuse to lay medicine in the wine, and confused the three thousand soldiers of Weiba Mountain City, captured her husband and brothers, and seized Weiba Mountain City and presented it to Li Jing.
Under the moonlight, Li Jing was shocked when he heard that one of the other party was the princess of the Bohai Kingdom. After being surprised, he couldn't help but feel happy and smiled and waved his hand: "Take them all back to Weiba Mountain City, and send some other people to search to see if there are any fish that have missed the net!"
Dayue'er whispered loudly: "I am the princess of Bohai Kingdom and the wife of the eldest son of Jili City. You can't catch me."
