Chapter 286 This is all thanks to the princess
Lin Muwen smiled slightly and said, "You are too kind. This is all thanks to the princess."
Mu Ruixi waved her hand modestly, "Same to you."
As night fell, Mu Ruixi picked out the most ordinary soldier from among her elite troops and had him wear the clothes of the Yue Kingdom. Because they had to change shifts at any time, Mu Ruixi took this opportunity to disguise her army as the Yue Kingdom army coming out of the toilet, while Mu Ruixi hid in the bushes nearby until she saw her army entered safely without arousing anyone's suspicion, and then she left.
The next day, Mu Ruixi still followed the previous arrangement and put poison in their food. By the evening, they would vomit. Five or six soldiers disguised as civilians followed Mu Ruixi, waiting for an opportunity. Not long after, the people who came to meet her opened a gap and transferred the patrolling Vietnamese people away. Mu Ruixi successfully sneaked into the enemy camp.
A smile appeared on Mu Ruixi's lips. She winked at the contact and blew a whistle. Someone shouted, "There's an assassin!"
A large number of Yue Kingdom soldiers rushed towards Mu Ruixi. The people around them threw torches and set the tents on fire. Suddenly, everyone panicked, "Help!"
Mu Ruixi snorted in boredom. Seeing that the people who were chasing them from behind ran out to put out the fire, she made a gesture of invitation and then retreated.
This was an unusual night.
According to the scouts' report, a group of officers and soldiers took laxatives last night, which resulted in poor fire-fighting results. The food that was originally enough for them for half a month was suddenly extended to three days. Lu Fu was furious and ordered to end the battle as soon as possible. He also selected a group of elite troops to be on standby at any time.
Mu Ruixi had long known that Lu Fu would do this, so she had already arranged for Lin Muwen to guard the city gate with a thousand elite soldiers. As for the others, she could also put them to use.
Mu Ruixi had an idea. Lu Fu was going to launch a sneak attack, so she decided to catch him off guard.
Anyway, there are few people here, so it’s not difficult to change places.
Mu Ruixi immediately ordered people to move the camp to another place. The original camp was filled with explosives. If the Yue Kingdom’s army attacked the city at night, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Mu Ruixi was strolling around town when she saw a fortune teller. She asked curiously, "Why are you still willing to tell fortunes for these people? Don't you really worry about your own life?"
It’s not that Mu Ruixi lacks confidence, but people in this city are running away, injured, and there are not many living people on the street, let alone a fortune teller. Mu Ruixi looked at him in confusion.
During wartime, every household kept their doors closed. Unless they had to go out to buy some daily necessities, how could they have the leisure to come to him for fortune-telling?
The fortune teller glanced at Mu Ruixi and said, "I can tell from the first sight that the young lady is not an ordinary person. She carries the emperor's orders and has no idea of the suffering of ordinary people like us."
Mu Ruixi frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Why didn't I understand? I led the soldiers through life and death, wasn't it just to protect ordinary people like you? In the end, it was still my fault?
Mu Ruixi pressed on aggressively: "Sir, what you said is not right. I was ordered to suppress the bandits. I want the people of this city to live and work in peace. Don't you want the enemy to be eliminated?"
The fortune teller stroked his long beard, looked at the tall city walls, and sighed: "There is no such thing as a war without casualties. Even if the enemy is defeated, the soldiers who died in the battle will not be resurrected. A bunch of orphans and widows, alas..."
Mu Ruixi felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. She certainly understood what the fortune teller meant, but the deaths of these people were not caused by her. She also wanted peace in the world, but in this world, where there is power and benefits, there will be struggles. It has been like this from generation to generation since ancient times.
Mu Ruixi left the fortune teller, feeling a little uncomfortable. She looked at the empty street and suddenly missed her current peaceful life. There was no fighting, no killing. She only needed to eat, drink, defecate and urinate without worrying about anything. But now, she had to accept the guidance of others, which gave her a headache.
He returned to his tent dejectedly, not even bothering to eat. He called a soldier and asked him, "How are the people in the city? Do they have enough food and clothes?"
The soldier nodded and said, "Princess, don't worry. The Eighth Prince prepared plenty of food when he came here. He won't let them starve."
Mu Ruixi waved her hand. "Very good. How's the thing I asked you to do going?"
The guard said softly, "Everything is ready, we are just waiting to see the show."
At the same time, Lu Fu was leading his subordinates, carefully sneaking into the enemy's camp. He waved his hand and immediately divided them into three teams, attacking each tent respectively. When he lifted the curtain, he saw that the room was empty and full of weeds. Lu Fu's heart sank, he had been fooled!
"Get out! Get out quickly!"
However, the Northern Army hiding in the dark would not miss such a good opportunity. They quickly ignited the fire. As Lu Fu turned around, he was pushed out from behind by a powerful force. "Bang!"
Lu Fu stood up from the bushes, gritting his teeth and roaring angrily, "If I can't avenge what happened today, how can I hold my head up in front of the people of Yue? I will cut you into pieces!!!"
Mu Ruixi nodded slightly when she heard this. First, they gave the soldiers of Yue Kingdom a laxative, and then burned the food and grass. This was undoubtedly a humiliation for the soldiers of Yue Kingdom, and Lu Fu would definitely bear a grudge. What's more, they had fallen into the opponent's trap, and the morale of the army was in chaos. This was the best opportunity for them to take action.
Mu Ruixi hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss tomorrow's plan, and sent someone to deliver a letter to tell Lin Muwen what he had encountered in the military camp.
At noon the next day, Lu Fu led 30,000 elite soldiers to block the city gate, shouting, "Coward, get out of here if you have the guts!"
Before Lu Fu could finish his words, the soldiers behind him began to make a fuss, expressing their weakness and contempt for the northern soldiers.
Lin Muwen stood at the city gate, looking at the vast mass of Yue people below, without the slightest fear. He turned around and ordered the generals behind him: "Everything remains the same."
The general bowed and replied, "Yes."
At this moment, a general from the north came out and shouted, "Yue, if you have the guts, come and fight me. I will kill you!"
Lu Fu waved his hand, and a brave general came forward to fight.
The general spurred his horse to a gallop, charging towards the general, the spear in his hand pointed directly at the general's vital points.
The general was not to be outdone. He dodged his attack with a nimble somersault and then stabbed at him quickly.
