Chapter 517: Victory in the first battle

"What? You're going too far! Tuoba Lie didn't expect Chu Zhuangyan to have such an attitude at the beginning.

"Excessive? What is too much for me, King Yan almost gave his life here, and it is already quite merciful to ask for six cities and the people of the city. ”

"Impossible, this matter is not negotiable, absolutely impossible." Tuoba Lie refused without thinking about it, and asked him to cut six more cities, unless he, the emperor, stepped down.

"Then there is no way, since Emperor Tuoba is unwilling, then I have no choice but to let the soldiers of the Mingyue Kingdom come to Izumo Country to explore the way." Chu Zhuangyan's tone also changed when he spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" After Chu Zhuangyan said this, Tuoba Lie was even more surprised.

He originally thought that Chu Zhuangyan's attitude towards himself today was enough to be excessive, but he didn't expect that he would be overwhelmed by soldiers again.

"What do you mean? It's literal, if Emperor Tuoba refuses to agree to my conditions, then I don't mind letting the soldiers of the Mingyue Kingdom come to Izumo Country to explore the way. ”

Chu Zhuangyan repeated what he had just said again, Tuoba Lie was very aggrieved in his heart, when had he ever been threatened like this?

"In that case, there is nothing to talk about between us. Please go back, we in Izumo Province don't welcome you at all. ”

Tuoba Lie opened his mouth and gave the order to evict the guests.

Chu Zhuangyan stood up and smiled: "Emperor Tuoba Emperor, you have to think about it, as soon as this sentence comes out, there will be no room for retraction."

"No matter what, I'm still the emperor of Izumo Province, and I will never be able to do something degrading like this."

"Then I have nothing to discuss with you, I will leave here, and the next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield."

Chu Zhuangyan stood up, walked a few steps to the door, and suddenly turned around: "Oh, by the way, I won't be assassinated before I leave the gate of the palace, right?" Chu Zhuangyan's words had a strong sense of provocation.

"We don't have that kind of person in Izumo Province, and we've always been upright." Tuoba Lie endured the anger in his heart and said to Chu Zhuangyan.

"Dignified? Not necessarily, right? Chu Zhuangyan laughed a few times and pushed the door away.

The little eunuch outside was very puzzled when he saw that only Chu Zhuangyan was leaving. When they entered the house, they found that Tuoba Lie was looking at the direction Chu Zhuangyan had left, his face was very ugly.

"Your Majesty, is the emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom gone like this?"

"Yes, just leave like this, you can find someone to escort him to the gate of the palace, and by the way, go and call me all the people from the military department."

Since Chu Zhuangyan has already said that the soldiers are pressing the border, then he must be prepared accordingly, although it is a little late now, but it is better than not having any preparation.

After the people from the military department came, Tuoba Lie began to urgently discuss countermeasures with them.

"You sent some people to sneak in near the border to check how many troops the Mingyue Kingdom has this time? The other part is to mobilize the entire Izumo country, remembering, not to cause panic among the people. ”

Although Tuoba Lie said so, he knew that it was impossible not to panic, and he could only try to stabilize the mood of the people.

After Chu Zhuangyan left, the entire Izumo country suddenly became very fast, and the people could see soldiers in armor everywhere, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

"It's not going to be a war, is it?" Some people were worried.

"War? How can it be? Didn't the emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom come to visit the Izumo Kingdom before? ”

"Forget it, who of us can know about the affairs between the courts?"

But they didn't expect that within a few hours of this discussion, the soldiers of the Bright Moon Kingdom stepped directly into the border of Izumo Province.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are back." Guo Dong, who went out to inquire about the news, soon returned.

"How's it going?" Chu Ruoyao asked Guo Dong.

"This time, the emperor brought the elite of our Mingyue Kingdom, and many of the soldiers were your subordinates before."

Are they all his subordinates? Chu Zhuangyan actually attached so much importance to this matter?

"Okay, I got it." Chu Ruoyan found that he still greatly ignored Chu Zhuangyan's determination, but no matter what happened now, it had nothing to do with him, it was a matter of time before the war started, and the Izumo Kingdom was already doomed, and there was only one result: losing.

After Chu Zhuangyan returned, he immediately began to discuss with the military department his strategy of attacking Izumo Kingdom. He had already deployed his troops before he came, and now he only needs to make a few changes.

"You are all soldiers of our Mingyue Kingdom, and you must already know the news that His Royal Highness King Yan was almost stabbed to death in Mingyue Kingdom, but now the emperor of Izumo Kingdom avoids talking about this matter, and only finds a substitute for the dead ghost, but he has not caught the mastermind behind the scenes at all, can you bear such a thing?"

Chu Zhuangyan stood at the top of the barracks and asked the soldiers below.

"I can't stand it!" There was a deafening shout below, and everyone was very angry in their hearts.

Many of these people were former Chu Ruoyan's subordinates, and they were originally very reluctant to Chu Zhuangyan sending Chu Ruoyan to Izumo Country as a concubine, and even some people didn't want to fight anymore, but after learning the news of Chu Ruoyan's injury, they spontaneously organized again.

"I know that you people are all people who have completely put His Royal Highness King Yan in their hearts, and I am also very heartbroken, after all, he is my son, so I can only make this decision as a last resort."

Chu Zhuangyan played the image of a loving father to the fullest.

"If Izumo Country doesn't give us a clear statement, then we have to ask for an explanation ourselves, no matter what, we can't let the people of Mingyue Country suffer the slightest grievance, right?"

"Yes!"

Chu Zhuangyan boosted the morale of these soldiers with just a few words, and everyone was eager to rush across the border between the two countries now, set foot on the entire Izumo country, and avenge their Royal Highness King Yan.

"This time we have prepared in advance, Izumo Province should not be fully prepared now, so this battle is completely winnable, as long as this battle is won, it is equivalent to preserving the dignity of our Mingyue Kingdom, and also preserving the dignity of His Royal Highness King Yan, so I hope that each of you will do your best."

The soldiers below responded to Chu Zhuangyan's words in unison.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this time in the war with Izumo Kingdom, your subordinates will definitely come back from a good fight." The general came to Chu Zhuangyan's side and said respectfully.

"As long as you win, don't rush too hard, my purpose is just to give Yun Guo a big deterrent, let them know the consequences of angering our Mingyue Kingdom, but don't make the relationship between the two countries irreparable."

"Yes, my subordinates remember."

As soon as it got dark, a small group of soldiers from Meizuki Province, all dressed in black, quietly infiltrated the border between the two countries, and they quietly approached the tent of the Izumo Province soldiers through the trees.

"On this side is their food and grass, and on the other side is their weapons, and in a moment you will send people to light fires in these two places to attract their attention, and we will go in and create chaos and buy time for the troops behind." One of them observed the situation, then turned his head and ordered.

Their detachment was personally sent by Chu Zhuangyan in order to strike first and disrupt the rhythm of the entire Izumo Kingdom.

Several of them dispersed after receiving the order, and each of them came to his place.

Suddenly, a wolf howl came from the grass, and this wolf cry also attracted the soldiers of Izumo Province.

"What's the movement? Is it the howl of a wolf? You go over there and take a look in the forest. Several soldiers on duty said to each other, but none of them were willing to take a step forward.

"Why am I going? Why don't you go? One of the soldiers looked at the dark forest with some fear.

"You're usually the smartest of us here, and if you go, you'll find something."

"Who are you going to go with, I don't know if Izumo Province and Mingyue Province are on the verge of breaking out right now, and if someone is ambushed in the forest and attacks us, I won't be able to run."

After some arguing, they decided to go and check it out, and as soon as they left the tent, a torch was thrown over, and the grain and grass were instantly ablaze.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! "Everyone began to busily put out the fire, but before it stopped, a fire broke out on the side of the armory.

The formation of the soldiers suddenly panicked, and everyone was busy running back and forth on both sides, and no one noticed that several people had already infiltrated their main tent.

"Marshal, marshal!" A soldier trotted into the main tent, ready to tell them the news, only to find the marshal's eyes wide with rage and a spear stuck in his chest.

"It's not good......" Before he could shout the word "it" in his mouth, he felt a warm sensation in his chest, and when he looked down, a sword with a cold light passed through his chest.

"Don't shout, your marshal is already dead." Several men in black walked around to him and sneered and said, these people were the ones who sneaked in before.

When they had thrown the place into chaos, they not only began to light fires everywhere, but also looted the treasures of the barracks, and just as the fire was about to be extinguished and everyone was exhausted, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

"Oh no, no, the soldiers of the Bright Moon Kingdom are coming!" Everyone shouted and fled in all directions, like lost dogs, and had no fighting spirit at all.

The soldiers of the Bright Moon Kingdom who came from behind drove straight into this way, and destroyed this barracks without much effort, and also captured many captives of Izumo Province.

"What about these people?" A soldier asked after kicking a shivering Izumo countryman.

"Send some people to escort them to the Bright Moon Country first, and then talk about the rest of the matter."

"Yes."
