An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 292

Seeing that Prince Jing was quite confident, Zhang Qi felt a little relieved. Everything would be fine with the presence of Prince Jing.

Prince Jing turned around and called his shadow guard out. He said with a smile, "go and fetch my jade flute."

Zhang Qi did not know why, but said nothing. Watching the shadow guard leaving in a hurry, and soon after, Prince Jing took the jade flute here. He caressed the jade flute with a smile, "let's go to the east wall to receive the army of the state of Xia."

By the time they arrived, the city had almost been withdrawn by Prince Jing. Only a few secret guards with higher level of martial arts wore the armor of the city guards and stood on the city wall.

As he looked at the pitch black walls, Xia Houyan smiled and said, "military counsellor, we are finally in Jingyang city." But there was not a trace of joy in his eyes, and he frowned at the big words "Jingyang city". She said: "although we deceived Qi Lang with a deceptive trick, but Qi Lang should have heard that we were heading for Jingyang city. Prince Jing is a general in the battlefield. He fought many wars and is very capable. He should not be unaware of our whereabouts, but why, I didn't expect that they was ready to fight with the enemy in Jingyang city! "

Liu Yinfeng also looked at Jingyang City, and said calmly, "I'm afraid it's a trick of Prince Jing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the jade flute, which was as ethereal as the shadow of a man, whimpering, sounding somewhat weird.

"What's this?" With his eyes wide open, Xia Houyan looked into the darkness, where only two lanterns hung on the gate of the city.

Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and then said, "I remember a story I saw on the military tactics. It's called the empty city trick. We just talked about the battle between the two armies. There was no army at all. The strategist had his soldiers retreat from the city, but he went to the tower with his Guqin and sang the song with him, which cheated the hostile guard. "

A lantern was lit and a figure was standing on the wall in the distance. A black figure raised his hand and placed it beside his face. It seemed that the person was blowing the jade flute. The faint sound of the jade flute must come from there.

"Empty City trick?" Xia Houyan bit his lips and snorted, "he is so bold to play the jade flute on the city wall in front of 400 thousand soldiers. I told you that Prince Jing must know we were here, but i didn't expect that he would make such a wonderful move. Since it is an empty city trick, I must go and have a look. Make a mystery of it and wait for me. I will destroy this Jingyang city and take Luo Qingyan's life. "

However, Liu Yinfeng shook his head and stopped him, "Your Highness, please don't do that."

Puzzled, Xia Houyan turned his head and asked, "councillor, you said there were no soldiers in the city. Then what are we afraid of?"

"Your Highness, this empty city trick is only one of the plans in the book. If Prince Jing only uses it to lure us into depth, what will it be? I wonder if there is anyone in this city. " Liu Yinfeng said with a deep frown.

Xia Houyan had never thought about it. He thought for a while and said, "why should we be afraid of him? There are only 200000 soldiers of the state of Ning in this small Jingyang city, and even if it is not an empty city trick, I don't believe that he can defeat my 400 thousand soldiers. Moreover, I have ordered general Lin Yu to attack the army from the south gate, and we can attack them from both sides. He can't escape even if he attacks us from the south gate. "

Liu Yinfeng remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head slowly. "No, your highness. Prince Jing is cunning. Even if we have four hundred thousand men, we can't risk it. With general Lin's two hundred and fifty thousand men, everything will be fine. But my crown prince, Lord Hua Guo is in the camp over there, and Lin Yu is Lord Hua Guo's old department. That two hundred and fifty thousand men are not sure to come."

"How dare Lin Yu defy me? How dare he don't even obey my orders? Why didn't lord Hua Guo ask him to join the fight? " Xia Houyan snorted coldly, but he was not convinced.

Liu Yinfeng sighed, "Your Highness, why shall we attack Jingyang city?"

"I'm here to kill Luo Qingyan." Xia Houyan answered without hesitation.

Liu Yinfeng nodded, "yes, we are here to killed Luo Qingyan. But your highness, what's the relationship between Luo Qingyan and Lord Hua Guo? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Lord Hua Guo?" Xia Houyan frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered, "Oh, the first empress is Lord Hua Guo's daughter, and Luo Qingyan is Lord Hua Guo's grandson!" As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned even more. He continued, "we rushed to Jingyang city as fast as we could, so we took advantage of the reinforcements from the army of the state of Ning and killed Luo Qingyan first. Now what are we waiting for outside the city? If we do not fight, why would I be here? "

Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and said, "we will, but we have to ask about the situation in the city carefully. Your highness, don't worry. The reinforcements from the army of the state of ning haven't arrived so soon."

Xia Houjing didn't want to argue with him any more. He waved his hand and said, "you go ahead. I believe you. But my patience is limited. Two hours, at most two hours, I will attack them forcefully. "
