Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 796

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 expected that Xia Huanyu has made such an arrangement. The commander's tally in the hands of the seventh prince was fake. So his first so-called victory also had to be part of Xia Huanyu's plan.

That was to say, now Luo Qingyan had two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. It would be a piece of cake for Luo Qingyan to take down Mohuai City. She was afraid that before Qingsu could react, he would lose control of Mohuai City. Then Luo Qingyan would go north and attack Qingsu together with Lord Hua Guo.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang felt a little relieved. With at least two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, Luo Qingyan would be much safer.

But after a while, she frowned again. That was to say, Luo Qingyan would be away for a long time. It would take at least a month for them to march from the Mohuai City to the Zha'na City.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and felt a little upset.

Yun Shang's days in Huaiyin City were very monotonous. She slept until noon every day, and then got up to have lunch. In the afternoon, she just read books and listened to the reports of the secret guards. Then, she had dinner and went to bed.

The only thing that made Yun Shang happy was that the two eagles raised by Luo Qingyan sent her a letter from Luo Qingyan every day. Every letter was very simple, almost the same, "Everything is fine. Don't worry."

However, Yun Shang was still looking forward to the arrival of the letters every day. She even marked the dates on the letters and put them in her jewelry box.

About seven days later, the news came that Luo Qingyan had taken over Mohuai City. Yun Shang was finally relieved. She was happy for the good beginning.

And the content of Luo Qingyan's letter finally changed. It said, " Mohuai City had already been taken over and everything is fine."
