Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng smiled and said softly, "Indeed."
Yun Shang thought for a while and asked, "But the seventh prince is powerful in the army. How could he be defeated so easily?"
"Your Highness, you must also know that there claimed to be five hundred thousand soldiers led by the seventh prince and Su Ruhai. However, they only had one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. In Huanying City there were about one hundred thousand soldiers. And there were less than eighty thousand soldiers led by Lord Hua Guo in Ganying City. So only about three hundred thousand soldiers in total. In fact, these are all soldiers we have." Liu Yinfeng said in a low voice.
"What?" Yun Shang was taken aback. "But there are about four hundred thousand soldiers in the State of Yelang. Moreover, the seventh prince has colluded with the State of Yelang, so we can't count on the soldiers in his control. Has His Majesty been expecting His Highness to defeat four hundred thousand soldiers of the State of Yelang with one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers?"
With a hint of conceit in his eyes, Liu Yinfeng said slowly with a smile, "His Majesty did this to give Qingsu an illusion that he will win the battle. But in fact, His Majesty has already made arrangements."
"What arrangement?" Yun Shang asked in a hurry.
Liu Yinfeng turned to look at Yun Shang, with a flicker of flame in his eyes. "The trump card His Majesty has set is actually the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers led by the seventh prince."
Yun Shang frowned, full of confusion in her eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Yinfeng continued with a smile, "The commander's tally in the seventh prince's hand, which is used to mobilize the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, is a fake one. The real commander's tally is in His Highness's hand. His Highness set up this alienation trick to encourage Su Ruhai to lead the troops to attack Mohuai City. Then His Highness would led his troops there to unite with the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and launch an attack at the State of Yelang."
Astonishment was written all over Yun Shang's face. She had never expect
s. Why don't you have a good rest? I won't disappear."
Luo Qingyan just chuckled, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed with Yun Shang in his arms. His hand gently covered Yun Shang's belly, with tenderness in his eyes. He kissed Yun Shang on the back and whispered, "I'm sleepy. Let's rest."
Yun Shang's heart ached. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's sleep."
Luo Qingyan was very exhausted after a long journey. He fell asleep soon. Yun Shang also fell asleep in Luo Qingyan's arms.
The second morning, when she woke up, she found that Luo Qingyan was no longer beside her. Yun Shang was in a daze and thought it was her illusion. She propped herself up on the bed and looked into the distance with hollow eyes.
Qin Yi came in and saw this scene. She hurriedly said, "His Highness left early in the morning. Before he left, he asked me to take good care of you."
Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly looked up at Qin Yi and realized it was not a dream.
Qin Yi stared at Yun Shang for a long time before Yun Shang came to her senses. She nodded and said, "I'll get up."
As soon as Yun Shang put on her clothes, Qian Zhuo came in. Before Yun Shang could ask, Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, something's wrong. The Emperor has already known about Lady Zhao and that you have been to KY City. Now His Highness has been heading towards Huaiyin City in person, leaving all the political affairs behind.
