Chapter 7: Warfare

The years are light, not single-mindedly stopped in March, and in a blink of an eye, they jumped from the green willow buds to the tender stamens of the new crape myrtle flowers.

Fireflies and rotten grass, cicadas are noisy, summer Mars is dusk, and the soil is scorched and golden.

In the summer of June, Hengguo is like an egg that is unable to protect itself, roasted by the flames, the lord of the country is not to blame for taking a nap in the Taifu Palace, after waking up, he feels thirsty and stinging in the throat, like a dry field, he wants to come to the ice cubes left and right, he eats two large bowls in a row, only to feel comfortable, he wants to send some to the west hall of Qian'er, the words have not yet spoken, he suddenly has a heart attack, he only feels that the big stone presses the heart, the mountain stone blocks the road, and it is more and more difficult to breathe, and finally falls to the ground, and the left and right attendants will help the lord of the country to the dragon and hurriedly call the imperial doctor.

When Princess Qianqian received the news, the lord of the country had already woken up, but the condition was extremely bad, and she couldn't get up yet, so she could only lie on the bed and talk.

Hanzhang saw his father like this, and hugged the arm of the lord of the country and cried.

"Ah Zhang, don't cry, my father will be well in two days," Princess Qianqian hugged her younger brother and comforted.

"Qian'er has grown up," the queen touched Princess Qianqian's hair with relief.

Everyone thought that the lord of the country was fine, after all, although the lord of the country was close to old age, his body has always been tough, and he has rarely been sick, but the intuition of the lord of the country told him that this disease may not be so easy to pass, this disease, if the spies of the Moon Kingdom know that Hengguo is in danger, his son is young, and his daughter has no plan, no matter which one can not reassure him, at least not now.

The lord of the kingdom had 680,000 soldiers in his hands, 420,000 guarding the frontier, another 100,000 stationed in various continents, and the remaining 60,000 forbidden troops stationed in the capital.

A hundred miles away from the capital, Xizhu has 100,000 red leopard troops have been stationed in the place to train hard, is the strongest army in Hengguo, Yueguo has been afraid of not only the alliance with Jiang Guo over the years, but also half of it is because of the 100,000 red panther army, this 100,000 red panther army is one of the brave people in Hengguo, Hengguo has to raise millions of gold from the treasury every year to support these warriors and their families, the red panther army is directly under the lord of the country, they only recognize two things, one is the lord himself, the other is the leopard charm, in addition to the thunder can not regret it.

The two princes of Hengguo, King Chen and King Liu each have 40,000 elite soldiers stationed in their fiefdoms, although they are not dispatched by the lord of the country, but in times of crisis, these 80,000 elite soldiers will not stand idly by, especially King Chen, who has been closest to the lord since he was a child, trusts the lord very much, and has no aggressive heart, so his fief is only more than 50 miles away from the national capital, and he lives in the prince's mansion of the national capital, and the 40,000 soldiers in his hands are basically not worried.

Thinking of this, the lord of the country planned as follows:

First, first add 100,000 grains and grass to the border pass, and then send 70,000 Red Panther Army and garrisons from various continents to the border pass, especially the Chengguan in the north, where is the closest to the Yue Kingdom, and then report urgently, so that the two generals Yang Gongze and Chen Bozhi can increase their vigilance.

Second, the 60,000 forbidden troops in the capital were stationed in various continents to make up for the temporarily transferred troops, and the army of King Chen was transferred to the national capital, and the other 30,000 red panther troops were not moved in place, and they were dispatched at the right time, and entrusted the young son and foolish girl to King Chen, so that he could shelter him, and if his condition did not improve, he would let King Chen sit on the throne of the country, and he would ensure that his children and people could survive no matter what.

The speed of the master's plot is very fast, but the spies hidden in the Hengguo are faster than the lord.

Seeing that the lord of the country had not been in court for three days, his complexion was declining day by day, and he immediately sent a secret report to the Yue Kingdom.

Seven days later, 100,000 Red Panther Army and 60,000 forbidden troops just left Hengshui Pass (Hengshui Pass is the closest checkpoint to the capital), the frontier general Yang Gong sent an urgent report: My lord personally opened, April 23, the Moon Lord Nan Wujin led 400,000 troops to attack Tongkou in the north, the Moon General Sima Qi led 300,000 to attack Yuancheng, and the Moon General Nan Wuxiang led 200,000 to attack Yiyang, its appearance is fierce, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, Tongkou, Yuancheng, Yiyang, the three city passes were lost on the same day, our army lost 30,000, today, morale is declining, although the red panther is coming, it is difficult to determine the heart of the army, The sergeant has not fought for many years, cowardly, I led 180,000 soldiers to retreat to Nanqiao, Chen Bozhi led 130,000 to retreat to Yongzhou Luguan, Zhang Tianqi led 80,000 to retreat to Xinxing, in addition, 35,000 reinforcements from Jiang and Taizhou diverted water from the Lu River in Nanqiao.

Fortunately, the division of the Moon Kingdom came from afar, originally hungry and tired, and fought fiercely, and there was no worry for a few days, but he could wait for the reinforcement of the division.

Above, may our Lord know, and the public will also guard the land of my eternal kingdom.

In just a paragraph, the lord of the country has repeatedly read it more than a dozen times, and can't help but get anxious, I got sick for only half a month, and the country of the moon immediately moved his hands and feet, and actually arrived at the north of the city two days ago, from the capital of the moon country to the border pass of our country, at least seven days, it is obvious that there must be a traitor in the palace, otherwise there is no such fast news, such a fast speed, with the power of my border pass, it is impossible to win the army division of the moon country, but it is not difficult to defend, why will it break the three cities in a row, these three cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack the city, unless it is a spy more than my palace, also inserted into my army, so who will this spy be, and whether the public has ever doubted this.

Now not only to urge reinforcements, but also to send a faithful person to investigate the affairs of the spies in the army, so he awarded Cao Jing, the Taishou of Huzhou, to be the general of Ning Shuo to supervise the border affairs, and he will go from now on.
