Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

When Xuan Moyin heard this, he smiled and said, "Secret guards cannot marry and have children. If that's the case, then I should consider letting An Yizhuan be my personal guard."

Su Luoxue had also heard of the rule that secret guards could not get married and have children, so if she let An Yi be a guard, it would fulfill his wish.

In fact, apart from being a bit rigid, An Yi is a good man.

"Okay, what did you say just now about the Hongnan Country?" she asked.

"Oh, the Hongnan Kingdom has sent troops, led by the second prince Ye Youli." Xuan Moyin said.

"So what's your plan?" She knew he probably already had a plan in mind.

"We had expected that the Hongnan Kingdom would come under the banner of revenge for Yong'an. General Chen and I have discussed this. Since they are here for revenge, we should go to meet them ourselves and there is no need to wait for them to reach Qingzhou City." Xuan Moyin said.

"Okay, I agree." Su Luoxue said.

Xuan Moyin then told her about the general situation of Hongnan Kingdom. Hongnan Kingdom was about the same size as Beiliang Kingdom and Nanxiang Kingdom, with about seventeen or eighteen cities. Qingzhou City, where they were now, was the northernmost city in Hongnan Kingdom, while the others were all in the south. The capital of Hongnan Kingdom was the largest city in the country.

The current military strength of Hongnan State is at most 30. They also have to defend the border between Nanxiang State and Yuan State. Combined with the troops in various cities and the capital, the maximum number of troops they can use now is about .

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Su Luoxue was full of confidence in defeating the Hongnan Kingdom.

When Meixiang heard that the young lady was going to fight again, she naturally started nagging again. And this time she insisted that Su Luoxue take her with her.

She said that instead of waiting anxiously at home, it would be better to stay by the young lady's side and serve her. Only then would she feel at ease knowing that the young lady was doing well every day.

In addition, Xuan Moyin was also going with An Yi, so Su Luoxue thought about it and agreed.

On the third day, the army marched towards Hongnan Kingdom. They only brought 100,000 reinforcements sent from Beiliang Kingdom. Qingzhou City allowed General Chen to stay with the original 10,000 people to continue guarding Qingzhou.

They arrived at the first city three days later. Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue's strategy was to surround the city without attacking. They only had 100,000 troops, and if they fought head-on there would definitely be casualties, so using wisdom to defeat the enemy was the wisest option at this time.

Late that night, the two men cleared out all the food and fodder for the 2 defenders in the city. After five days of holding out without food and fodder, the defenders in the city were forced to surrender, and they captured the first city of the Hongnan Kingdom.

When they arrived at the second city, Ye Youli had already stationed there with his 250,000-strong army. Ye Youli had not expected that Xuan Moyin and his men could capture the first city so quickly, and without losing a single soldier.

But for Xuan Moyin and his men, with only 100,000 men, it was still very difficult to capture the city with an army of more than 200,000.

However, the tactic of just surrounding without attacking might not work. With so few people, the enemy would suffer heavy casualties if they attacked.

For this reason, they stopped thirty miles away from the city.

"It seems that this time we can only carry out a small team raid." Su Luoxue said.

"Oh, how to launch a surprise attack?" Xuan Moyin heard Su Luoxue say this and knew that she had a strategy in mind.

"So..." Su Luoxue said, "How about this method?"

"Okay, let's do it." Xuan Moyin supported.

At night, the two of them dressed in night clothes went straight to the city gate. Before the guards on the city wall could react, Su Luoxue's thirty team members, also dressed in night clothes and holding pistols with silencers, quickly and accurately killed all the soldiers on the city wall, and then left quickly without any sound. It only took a few minutes to come and go. If it weren't for the bodies of the soldiers lying on the ground on the city wall, it would feel like they had never been there.

The next day, just as the sky was getting light, the soldiers who were changing guards in the city, led by their leader, walked up to the city wall to prepare for their change of guard. However, when they walked up to the wall, they saw that all the soldiers on duty yesterday had fallen to the ground, with a large pool of blood under each of them.

"What's going on?" the young leader exclaimed, and hurried forward to check. In the end, he found that almost everyone had a bloody hole on their body, and it was this bloody hole that caused the death of these soldiers.

He didn't care about anything else and ran down the city wall in a panic to report to Ye Youli.

"What? All dead? I wonder what caused the bloody holes?" Ye Youli exclaimed.

He immediately led the rest of his men straight to the city wall. When he looked at the bodies of these soldiers, he was greatly shocked. What weapons had injured them and who had done it?

"Did the soldiers patrolling at night find anything unusual or hear any noise?" He turned to ask his men.

"No," a deputy general said, "Your Highness, I am responsible for all patrols in the city at night, and I have not received any unusual reports."

Ye Youli also felt strange. Could it be Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue who did it? But how did they kill so many people silently? Also, what weapons did they use? Why did the wounds on these soldiers look so strange? They didn't look like they were caused by swords?

Ye Youli had a head full of question marks, but no one gave him an answer.

The only thing he could do now was to add more soldiers to guard the city walls and to patrol the city.

However, the next day, the soldiers on the city wall died again in the same situation, and the patrolmen still did not find anything unusual. The murderers came and went without a trace, silently.

That night, Ye Youli not only sent more soldiers, but also sent a team of men to ambush around the city walls. He originally wanted to guard it himself, but he wanted to see whether it was Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue who did it, or if it was someone else?

However, his subordinates dared not let him guard such a dangerous place. If anything happened to His Highness, they would not be able to explain to the Emperor even if they died.

Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue naturally knew that they had killed soldiers on the city wall for two consecutive days, and Ye Youli would definitely be more vigilant and might have arranged people to ambush them.

So, that night they did not attack the soldiers guarding the city wall, but went directly into the city, and also killed six teams of patrolling soldiers quietly, and then left and returned to the camp.

However, the soldiers on the city wall were on high alert that night. They had heard about how their brothers who guarded the city wall died the previous two nights. Now being assigned to guard the city wall at night has become a job that all the soldiers feared. No one wanted to die inexplicably with a big bloody hole in his body. However, military orders were like mountains, and they had to obey orders from above. Otherwise, they would be executed before nightfall.
