Chapter 149 Princess Liu Wen
Can a reborn person, given a second chance, turn the world around? Change the world?
The moment Liu Wen was reborn, she actually thought about how to change this already corrupt Great Xia. The internal problems, heavy taxes, incompetent emperor, self-protective officials, and plundering of aristocratic families had all led this already very old dynasty to a strange path.
In her previous life, Liu Wen also thought that she could support Prince An, help him stand out from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and even become an emperor, and then clear the country and let the people live a good life.
But what is the result?
Daxia is an old ship that is about to sink. There are too many parts of it that need repair and cannot be repaired. In addition, the sea waves are huge. If you are not careful, the ship will be overturned and everyone on board will die.
Whether it was the innocent people on the ship, the bad guys on the ship, or even those who were working hard to repair the ship, they would all be killed by the waves.
After experiencing the real Rebellion of the Eight Kings and seeing the people living and dying in pain, the moment Liu Wen woke up, she understood that she could not change anything. Her power alone was too weak to change this dynasty that was destined to go astray.
Therefore, when Liu Wen saw that Liu Dai was also reborn, she did not object and allowed Liu Dai to change her marriage.
She was once married to Prince An, who appeared gentle but was actually very ambitious. Liu Wen then became Prince An's counselor and helped him plan his kingdom. She was even on the battlefield in many battles afterwards, so she saw more of everything.
That was something the women in the inner chambers would never see in their entire lives.
She had seen soldiers who were ostensibly from Daxia but ended up burning, killing, and looting civilians. She had seen one tall and strong Hun soldier be able to defeat more than a dozen Daxia soldiers. She had also seen exiled civilians being driven out and killed by aristocratic families. She had even seen blood flowing on the battlefield, with soldiers dying at the hands of their own people.
There are too many things. In the ten years that Liu Wen experienced, she watched no one win the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, watched Li Min'an dominate one side, watched the world fall into the hands of this one man, and watched the emperor of Daxia finally hang himself.
After experiencing all this, Liu Wen married King Gao Hong of England in this life through a sister-sister exchange.
King Gao Hong of England's fiefdom was in Yunhe. Although it was called Yunhe, there was actually no big river. There was just a small river called Yunhe which happened to be on the border. Across the river was the Huns' grassland, hence the name.
Yunhe is bitterly cold and constantly faces invasions by the Huns. Whenever there is drought on the grassland, the Huns will come to Yunhe to burn, kill, and loot. Massacres have become a habit. This may have been a difficult thing to accept for Liu Dai, but Liu Wen likes it very much.
She agreed to her father's marriage exchange with Liu Dai. Later, in order to make up for her, her father gave her a lot of dowry. Before coming to Yunhe, Liu Dai turned all these useless properties into food and medicine. In a place like the canal, gold, silver and jade are the most useless. Only food and medicine are the most important supplies in this place.
Later, she married King Ying Gao Hong. King Ying Gao Hong was indeed as she remembered, a reckless man without any ambition. However, such a reckless man kept going out to guard the entire Yunhe River himself, and did not allow the Huns to cross the river. It was only after the death of King Ying that the Huns finally entered the territory of Daxia.
She had a very good relationship with her husband in this life and had no children. Perhaps in order to prepare for the upcoming chaotic times, Liu Dai told King Gao Hong of the future of Daxia when she first met him.
King Gao Hong of England was powerless to do anything about this. He was just a reckless man and could only protect the people of Yunhe, so he was powerless to do anything.
Liu Wen began to live a life completely different from her previous life. She could even wear armor and go to war, holding a long sword and chopping off the heads of the Huns.
This gave Liu Wen a good outlet for the suppressed pain she had in her previous life. After coming to Yunhe, Liu Wen began to drink heavily.
Today was just an ordinary day. A scout came to report that a group of Huns were harassing the border, so Liu Wen led all the soldiers out.
Liu Wen had an army of a thousand men specially prepared by the King of England, so after they came out in full force, they successfully strangled the hundreds of Huns.
With a snap! Liu Wen personally chopped off the Hun's head, then grabbed the man's blood-soaked hair and held it high. Her face was still drunken. She had gained a lot of weight, and even lost some of her feminine beauty. At that moment, she looked strong and powerful.
"The Xiongnu leader is dead! Brothers! Bring back his head to claim the reward!"
After hearing this, the other soldiers screamed with joy, and then began to chop off the heads of the Huns. Some of them even took away the Huns' belongings and clothes. This was a common occurrence on the battlefield.
Liu Wen casually threw the head to the soldier beside her, then looked at the small village that was almost invaded by the Huns. After making sure that no one was injured, she felt relieved.
"Princess, thank you for coming to rescue us. I cannot repay you for saving our lives. Please accept this!"
At this time, dozens of people led by the village chief brought what the villagers thought was the most expensive thing - liquor.
Basically, the people of Yunhe all know how to make wine, but there is too little grain, so these wines are very expensive in Yunhe. People in Yunhe even have to transport wine from thousands of miles away, so the best thing these people can give is strong liquor.
"Well, if there's anything, have someone report it to me as soon as possible, and I'll bring people over right away."
Liu Wen nodded and asked someone to take away the liquor. In this situation, if you don't take it, people will feel even more uncomfortable. The people on Yunhe's side are all strong men, and even the women are very strong and good at both home and outside.
After the army had dealt with the Huns' heads, Liu Wen ordered the bodies to be burned. The headless bodies were pulled to the Huns' territory and burned on such a dry grassland where no grass even grew, to prevent any problems.
Just looking at the vast grassland, which should have been an endless green, but was now a vast expanse of yellow, made Liu Wen feel more and more uneasy.
Whether or not she could survive this winter depended on this one. The King of England in her memory was going to die in the constant invasion of the Huns this winter. What about her? Would she die with the King of England?
But having died once before, Liu Wen had nothing to fear. She would kill these Huns one by one!!!
After all the bodies of the Huns were burned, Liu Wen led his troops back to Yunzhong City. Yunzhong City is the border city closest to Yunhe River. This city is the first line of defense to protect Yunhe River. King Ying Gao Hong lives here, and he once left a message.
As long as Yunzhong City is there, he will be there. If Yunzhong City is breached, the enemy will step on his head to enter the city.
Such a ruthless person naturally had a bad end. Just as he once said, he died at the hands of the Huns. The enemy stepped on his head and entered the city, slaughtering all the people in Yunzhong City, leaving only the women.
But it seems that there is nothing to think about. Liu Wen is riding on a horse. If she returns to Kyoto with her current weight, she will probably be laughed at by her former close friends. Anyone who sees that the Liu Wen who was as light as willow catkins in the past has become a person covered in flesh will be surprised, right?
Liu Wen led her men back to the city. Outside Yunzhong City, the people and the army were busy working together. When they saw Princess Ying coming back, they all shouted loudly.
"The British princess is back!"
"The British princess has killed many Huns again!"
"The British princess is so amazing!!!"
People admired and even liked this British princess.
The Princess of England can not only go to the battlefield, but can also make many things. She even bought so much tea and liquor from outside Yunhe. She is always so powerful that she even asked the people of Yunhe to exchange wool for silver and money to make their lives better.
Moreover, whenever there was a problem in the surrounding villages, if they came to Yunzhong City to look for it, when the King of England was not around, the Queen of England would lead the troops to kill the Huns. She was the most heroic Queen of England in the hearts of the people of Yunhe.
Accompanied by the enthusiastic cheers of the people, Liu Wen felt like she was alive again, like she was living like a human being.
It is the most difficult to live in troubled times, because in such troubled times, you will become an animal to be slaughtered, a beast that slaughters others, and a lamb that helps the evil, but the only thing you cannot do is be a living person.
Someone even threw a bottle of wine wrapped in sheepskin to Liu Wen, and the girl's clear voice was heard.
"Princess of England! This is my newly brewed fruit wine! Try it!!!"
Without feeling too much distance, Liu Wen smiled at the girl, opened the cup directly, and took a big gulp. The spicy taste of the wine and the sweet taste of the fruit filled the root of her tongue, making her mind much clearer.
In fact, drinking is not allowed in the army, but Liu Wen is different. Since her rebirth, she has always suffered from insomnia all night long, and she can hardly sleep without drinking.
Liu Wen felt like she was going crazy, but the King of England didn't think so. So everyone in Yunhe knew that the Princess of England liked to drink. If they came across some good wine, or wanted to thank the King of England, they would just send the wine to the Princess of England.
Even in the past few years, the useless gold and silver that were originally sent from outside have been turned into wine and tea because of Liu Wen's hobby, so the people are living a good life.
"Great wine! Make more next time. I love it!!!"
As she said this, the girl immediately smiled, skipped and chased after Liu Wen's horse, waving her arms loudly.
"Princess of England! I will brew the best wine in the world! I'll treat you all to a drink!!!"
At this time, Liu Wen's horse had surpassed the girl. Liu Wen did not look back, but just waved her arm at the other party with the sheepskin wine jug in her hand, and the voice floated behind her.
"I'll have someone send the wine jug back to you later! Go home!"
With Liu Wen's words, the girl stopped chasing, and the soldiers around had long been accustomed to it. Everyone below knew that their own Princess Ying loved wine. Moreover, this Princess Ying who married from the capital was not as weak as the girls in the capital. She was a heroic woman who could go to the battlefield!
When Liu Wen entered the city and arrived at the Prince of England's palace, she was surprised to see quite a few people.
"The King of England is back?"
Liu Wen casually asked the butler, and the butler replied immediately.
"Reporting to Princess, the prince has returned home and is hosting a banquet in the front hall. Would you like to go?"
The princess often drinks with the prince and his subordinates, so the butler is used to it.
Liu Wen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and snatched the Hun head from the soldier next to her, saying with a smile.
"Of course I'm going! I want to show him my spoils of war today!"
As she spoke, her face showed a woman's brightness. Although her face was a little fatter and a little sunburned, it was full of vitality.
"Butler, look! The captain of the Hun's hundred-man squad! Easily captured!"
The butler was not young anymore, and he was smiling as he watched the princess show off and praised her.
"The princess is so amazing! If the prince saw how amazing the princess is, he would definitely be happy!!!"
Liu Wen walked inside with the head in her hand, smiling, her voice full of satisfaction.
"Who makes him happy? If I could lead an army one day, I would just destroy the Huns' lair and chop off their heads and kick them around like balls."
As she spoke, she entered the front hall and saw the King of England entertaining his generals...
