Chapter 519: Losing the War

The marshal attached great importance to the war with Izumo Province, firstly because of Chu Zhuangyan's instructions, and secondly, he didn't want his reputation to be buried like this.

The people under him are all the elite soldiers of the previous Yan King, and if he fails at this level, he is not worthy of being this marshal.

"Marshal, now Izumo Kuni is ready." Just as he was discussing his next move, news came from the soldiers who had gone to investigate.

"It's normal to be prepared," the marshal paused, "and what we're going to do next is the real war." Everyone listened to the marshal's words, and their expressions became serious again.

"Now His Royal Highness King Yan and Princess Xie Wei are all in the territory of Izumo Kingdom, we must let Izumo Kingdom know that it is powerful, but we can't attack too much, otherwise King Yan and the others will definitely suffer."

It was only after the marshal finished speaking that the soldiers below realized the problem.

"But how do we know that Izumo Kingdom won't really attack King Yan?" Some soldiers were worried.

"We must always keep abreast of the news from the Izumo Kingdom, and in the process of finding out the news, we must not expose it, and we must not make them alert."

After thinking about it, the marshal told many details of the inquiry, and the soldiers listened quite carefully.

When he finished speaking, the guard next to him asked the question in his heart.

"Marshal, my subordinates have a problem, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Speak."

"Since the Bright Moon Kingdom is at war with the Izumo Kingdom, why don't you rush in directly, and since you can find out the news of the Izumo Kingdom, why can't you directly rescue His Royal Highness King Yan from the Izumo Kingdom?"

The marshal paused, and almost said that King Yan was seriously injured.

Telling them the news at this time is undoubtedly disturbing the morale of the army, they only know that Chu Ruoyi is under house arrest, but they don't know that he is injured, or they don't know how serious his injury is, if they say it at this time, the situation is difficult to control.

"At this time, I don't know, this is King Yan's order, we can only obey it." After hearing that it was King Yan's order, the guard didn't say anything more and retreated, and the marshal breathed a sigh of relief.

For two days in a row, there was no movement in Izumo Province, and the Bright Moon Country also stopped, and even the people of Izumo Province thought that the war was about to end.

"Guo Dong, what's the situation outside?"

Li Luobing and Chu Ruoyao spent another two boring days in the mansion, never hearing any news from outside, I don't know if the Mingyue Kingdom was repelled by the Izumo Kingdom, or if the Izumo Kingdom compromised with the Mingyue Kingdom.

"Back to the princess, these two days are the time when there is no war between the Bright Moon Kingdom and the Izumo Kingdom."

Lord, princess? After hearing the title of Guo Dong, Li Luobing was stunned for a moment, but Chu Ruoyan had an expression of enjoyment, and even raised her eyebrows to look at Li Luobing.

Li Luobing didn't want to pay attention to him at all, so he turned his head away. It's not bad if there is no war, at least the people of both countries don't have to suffer.

But as soon as they finished speaking, Li Yi brought news that the soldiers of Izumo Province had dispatched again.

"It was a passive attack from Izumo Province before, but now it's taking the initiative, I don't know if my father has received any news."

"What? Do you want to tell the emperor the news? After seeing Chu Ruoyao's expression, Li Luobing asked.

"If I'm in good health, it's not hard to dodge those guards." Chu Ruoyan was a little unconvinced, "Now it's just because I have injuries on my own body and I can't move, so I'm staying here honestly." ”

"In my opinion, you should even get a few more stabs." Li Luobing gritted his teeth and said, "Only if you take a few more stabs, can you know how to rest, instead of blindly tossing like now." ”

"Okay, I see, don't talk about it." Chu Ruoyan couldn't talk about Li Luobing, so she began to talk about him and change the topic.

Seeing Chu Ruoyan defeated like this, Li Luobing was still a little proud in his heart.

In fact, this period of time was the most peaceful time for her whole person, and all the previous memories had been recovered, and the memories after that were also left in her mind and could not be erased.

Li Luobing even felt that they could stay in Izumo Country like this forever, and once they returned to Mingyue Kingdom, the identity between themselves and Chu Ruoyan would be a big problem.

The time between the two of them was so quiet, but the soldiers of Izumo Province were quite nervous.

Originally, they thought that they only needed to defend the city and defend it when the Mingyue people attacked, but they didn't expect their marshal to give an order and let them take the initiative to attack.

"Marshal, do we really want to take the initiative?"

"If we don't take the initiative to attack, are we still waiting for the Bright Moon Kingdom to attack? By that time it will be too late! The marshal realized the timidity among the soldiers and immediately shouted loudly.

The soldiers shuddered, barely suppressing their fears and heading towards the border between the two countries.

"Marshal Marshal, Izumo Province is the first to make a move." Someone in the camp tent of the Bright Moon Country came with news.

After hearing that Izumo Province was the first to take action, the soldiers of Mingyue Province were also surprised, they didn't expect that Izumo Province, which was at a disadvantage, would be able to make such a decision at this time.

"It seems that their marshal is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and whoever has the upper hand at this time may be the ultimate victor."

"So what do we do? Shall we go out and meet the enemy? The soldiers asked the marshal as they tightened their swords.

"No, we're here to stay put, now that we know the news, let's make a plan, and when they attack, we'll bring them into the city, and annihilate them in one fell swoop when they can't escape."

The marshal thought about it and came up with a solution, and the soldiers immediately nodded and went down to prepare.

When the people of Izumo Province came to the place where the two countries were fighting, they stopped and set up their tents in the same place.

"Why don't we move forward?" Some soldiers were very skeptical.

"Further on is the place where the two countries are at war, the people of the Bright Moon Country are very cunning, in case they ambush here, we will be caught off guard."

The people of Izumo Province were right, but they didn't know that their every move had already been discovered by Mingyue Province in advance.

After setting up the tent, they waited for an hour or two without feeling any sign of attack, and the scouts sent out came back to tell them that the soldiers of the Bright Moon Country on the border were sleeping soundly, and they were not even defensive, and their vigilance was very lax.

No defense, very lax? That's a good time for them to break in.

"Everyone obeys the order, take this opportunity to divide into three teams, attack with me from the middle all the way, outflank the left and right sides respectively, and be sure to surround all the soldiers of the Mingyue Kingdom."

After the marshal finished speaking, he prepared to take the soldiers into the palace, but some people put forward different opinions.

"What if this matter was deliberately revealed by Mingyue Kingdom?"

"Do you think there is no truth to what Marshal Ben said? Or is it dissatisfied with Marshal Ben's arrangement? ”

"No, the subordinates are just, just have some questions." The soldier hurriedly waved his hand, "The subordinates are just worried about everyone's safety." ”

"If you're worried, won't I worry?" Upon hearing the soldier's words, the marshal immediately turned around and took out his saber and raised his hand to cut it.

After cutting him to the ground, the marshal of Izumo Province gradually regained his composure.

"Whoever says something so disturbing the morale of the army will end to him." The marshal pointed the tip of his sword at the guard on the ground, then turned and left.

When the soldiers saw this bloody scene, they did not dare to speak again. They did not expect that a living life would disappear in the marshal's hand with a knife and a fall.

Obviously, this soldier was still with them day and night a few days ago, and even prepared to defend against the enemy together, but today he has become a wronged ghost, and the marshal of Izumo Country said it nicely, in order to maintain the stability of the barracks, and if it doesn't sound good, he is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

"Today's three watches are over, no matter what actions the Mingyue Kingdom will make at that time, we will attack with indomitable strength, if we are lucky, we can take advantage of their rest time to knock them over in one fell swoop, if we are unlucky, we can only fight with them."

The marshal looked at the map again, and gave the order in a firm tone, but he did not notice that one of the soldiers had quietly left.

After this person left, he came to the border between the two countries, and took advantage of the night to sneak directly into the camp tent of the Mingyue Country, and the soldiers of the Mingyue Country did not react.

When he came to the main tent and appeared in front of the marshal, the marshal was indifferent.

"How's it going, have you found any news?"

"Back to the marshal's words, his subordinates did find out very important news in Izumo Province." Then he revealed all the plans of Izumo Province to this marshal, and only after mastering the entire plan of Izumo Province could Mingyue Province better deal with it.

"No one noticed when you came out, did you?"

"No one noticed, but they should be aware by now."

He was right, half an hour after he left, when Izumo Kuni counted the number of people, he found that there was one person missing, and he searched the entire barracks without finding that person, and everyone suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Could it be that this matter has something to do with Mingyue Kingdom? Hurry up and tell the marshal to change the plan. ”

"It's too late, the previous vanguard has already set off." After hearing everyone's words, the marshal was also anxious.

He didn't expect that there was still a spy in the barracks of Izumo Kingdom, and this spy slipped away under his nose, which made him unbelievable.

"Marshal, what shall we do now? The news has leaked out. ”

"Now that the news has leaked out, then we have to launch an attack directly when the Bright Moon Country is unprepared, and if it drags on, it will be even more disadvantageous for Izumo Province."
