Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 106 The Princess's Husband Selection
Dou Xian and Chen Tang were both experienced generals, fully aware of the gravity of the situation. Dou Xian's gaze blazed as he surveyed the battlefield ahead, his mind secretly calculating his tactics. Chen Tang, on the other hand, wore a serious expression, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
Under the command of Dou Xian and Chen Tang, 2000 archers quickly deployed. Each one of them was dashing and heroic, their morale high. The archers expertly drew their bows and arrows, their arrows gleaming coldly as they aimed at the enemies on the city walls.
Ran Min's roar resounded through the sky:
"Kill! For our homeland, for our nation!" His voice was full of passionate fighting spirit, inspiring every soldier.
During the attack and defense, the rain of arrows from the Han army intensified, and Maodun Chanyu noticed something unusual.
"Oh! The strength of the enemy's archers has increased a lot. Could it be that the Han army reinforcements have arrived?" Maodun Chanyu said to himself, with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.
Maodun Chanyu turned his head and looked at Hu Ququan beside him and asked:
"How long will it take us to break through the city gate?"
"Reply to Chanyu! The enemy has few troops. As long as we attack in turns, the city will be broken." Huochequan said.
"What about you? Do you have any new ideas?"
The Xiongnu generals looked at each other, no one could answer his question. Maodun Chanyu's face became even uglier. He knew that if they could not solve the current predicament as soon as possible, they would face even more severe challenges.
"Continue the attack! We must take the city at all costs!" Maodun Chanyu gave the order, his voice full of firmness and determination.
"I obey your command!" Qubei took the order and left.
The Xiongnu soldiers launched another attack, their shouts and cries were deafening. Ran Min and his soldiers did not flinch, they defended the dignity of the city with their lives.
Dou Xian calmly observed the situation on the battlefield, issuing instructions from time to time and adjusting the archers' shooting angles.
"Adjust the shooting angle slightly upwards, ready!"
"put!"
Chen Tang led the charge, brandishing a long sword and engaging in close combat with the enemies who had climbed up to the top of the city walls.
"Whoever offends the Han will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
The enemies on the city walls were not to be outdone, they put up a fierce resistance, trying to stop the attack of Ran Min and his men. For a moment, the battlefield was a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, a scene of extraordinary tragedy.
"The Han general is seeking death! Brothers, help me kill the Han general." A Xiongnu soldier shouted
Ran Min's movements were as swift as thunder, and each of his attacks was full of power. His figure shuttled among the enemies, and wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another.
"General Ran Min, mighty!" a Han soldier shouted loudly.
The archers under Dou Xian's command fired accurately, providing strong support for Ran Min and others. Their arrows flew towards the city like locusts, putting tremendous pressure on the enemy.
Chen Tang engaged in a desperate struggle with the enemy. His swordsmanship was so sharp that every strike could take the life of an enemy. His bravery and fearlessness inspired the soldiers around him, and they also fought more bravely.
"General Chen Tang is brave and worthy of being an SS-level general. Is he really the brave man who killed Zhizhi Chanyu in the Western Han Dynasty?" asked a man named Zhang Erwa.
"Zhang Erwa! Don't be distracted on the battlefield. With a general like this, our victory is guaranteed." Xiong Sanzhu reminded.
Under the leadership of Ran Min, Dou Xian, and Chen Tang, the soldiers' morale rose. Working closely together, they gradually gained the upper hand. The enemy on the city walls began to retreat, and were eventually driven off the city walls.
Maodun Chanyu stood in the distance, watching the battle on the city wall, his face becoming very solemn. His heart was filled with doubts and resentment. He had originally thought that this battle could be won easily, but he did not expect that the cooked duck would fly away like this.
"Damn it! How come the Han army has two powerful generals? These two are the nemesis of us Huns!" Maodun Chanyu gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
It was impossible to easily capture Beidi County; they would have to pay a greater price. Maodun Chanyu turned his head, looked at the generals around him, and asked:
"What are our losses?"
The generals were silent, no one answered his question. Maodun Chanyu's face became even uglier, he knew that the losses in this battle must be heavy.
.....
Inside the magnificent palace of the Luoyang Imperial City, Concubine He once again meets with her brother He Jin. After much investigation, they learn that Princess Tianxiang and Princess Qingyu are Empress Song's right-hand men.
This made He Ling feel extremely threatened. She secretly made a plan in her mind.
"Brother, Queen Song's power is growing stronger day by day, we have to be on guard!" He Ling said worriedly.
"Yes! General Suo Chao, the General who conquered the north, has made new achievements and was granted the title of Marquis of Xinting. His existence poses a considerable threat to us." He Jin agreed with a frown.
"Brother, it's all up to you to suppress Suo Chao. But we can't just leave the enemies in the harem alone." There was a glint of ruthlessness in He Guiren's eyes.
"Sister, what do you think?" He Jin asked anxiously.
"The two adopted daughters of Emperor Song, Princess Tianxiang and Princess Qingyu, their power cannot be underestimated. We have to find a way to get rid of them. They have reached the age of coming of age this year, why don't we suggest to Your Majesty to marry them off?" Noble Lady He offered a suggestion.
"Well! This is a great idea! I wonder if my sister has a suitable candidate in mind?" He Jin nodded and asked.
"General Cao Cao and our younger brother He Miao are both good candidates. Brother, what do you think?" Noble Lady He analyzed.
"Well! Both of them are good. However, I think Yuan's Benchu and Gonglu are also outstanding people." He Jin added.
"Haha, brother! That's settled then."
General He Jin and Imperial Noble Consort He Ling were highly efficient. Upon learning of this, Liu Hong readily agreed. He instructed Zhang Rang to organize a public election for a consort, open to the sons of the aristocracy and wealthy families. Tickets cost 200 gold each, a small profit for Liu Hong, and his frustrations were alleviated.
Empress Song and the two princesses were naturally displeased when they learned of this. However, they could not disobey Liu Hong's order, so they made three rules with Emperor Ling of Han. They required that candidates for the imperial consort must be outstanding in five areas: martial arts, medical skills, wealth, fame, and literary talent, with at least three of these being the best in the world.
Emperor Ling readily agreed, believing it reasonable to set higher standards for his daughter's husband. However, the most important point he valued was that the man must be wealthy.
"Sister, what should we do if the prince consort we choose is not the one we like?" Princess Qingyu asked worriedly.
"My ambition is to become a female general, and I will never let them succeed. If there is no other way, I will escape to Mo'nan County." Princess Tianxiang said with a firm look in her eyes.
"Sister, what do you think? I feel the same way as you do!" Princess Qingyu said, holding Princess Tianxiang's hand tightly.
