After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 334: The Camp Catches Fire

Lin Rusi's words made their eyes light up.

That's right. If it comes to supplies, the enemy is definitely no match for us. Besides, Danzhou is backed by Jiangnan, and not only can the surrounding areas send reinforcements, but they also have an abundance of food, which can definitely support them in a protracted war.

But the Western Regions are different. This place is very far from the Western Regions. It would take at least a whole day to get from here to the territory of the foreign king. It's too far to help in the present. By the time the reinforcements arrive, two rounds of fighting will have already been completed.

“Yes, Asi is right.” Li Jingyang gave her a supportive look, signaling her to continue.

"Burn their supplies and catch them off guard with a surprise attack from behind!"

Having received his approval, Lin Rusi smiled slightly, a sly look on her face.

His confident demeanor made it seem as if he had already won the battle.

Upon hearing this, General Li's eyes lit up: "Your Highness has a brilliant plan. I will arrange it immediately."

He had always been prejudiced against women, but Lin Rusi repeatedly shattered his prejudices and won him over.

Now, his eyes sparkled as he stared at Lin Rusi, his face filled with amazement.

"Then I'll have to trouble General Li." Lin Rusi smiled gently, then raised the corners of her mouth.

"Your Highness, rest assured!"

General Li nodded vigorously, a plan forming in his mind.

That very night, General Li set off with his men. Not only that, he also secretly arranged for men to infiltrate the army of the foreign king.

Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang, on the other hand, remained in the camp to observe the situation.

In the middle of the night, when all is quiet.

One person sneaked into the foreign king's grain and provisions territory and set it on fire.

Suddenly, the flames grew larger.

After a while.

"It's water! It's water!"

"Fire! Fire! The grain depot is burning!"

……

With a burst of furious roars, the military camp suddenly became lively, and people hurriedly ran out of their tents.

Just then, the soldiers in the watchtower, pale-faced and terrified, rushed over, shouting, "Your Highness! Your Highness! They're attacking!"

"what?"

The foreign king's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked around, but all around was chaos, filled with the screams of his own soldiers.

"Get ready and let's go!"

His heart sank almost to the ground. He quickly took a deep breath and roared angrily.

However, such a voice was almost negligible in the chaotic military camp, and was immediately ignored by everyone.

At that moment, General Li led his men to circle around from behind.

Lin Rusi followed Li Jingyang and led the troops from the front, catching the enemy completely off guard.

But the foreign prince was caught off guard. He stared wide-eyed at the suddenly changed situation and was momentarily unable to react.

But how could Li Jingyang possibly show mercy just because he was caught off guard?

In just a moment, the surrounding area was filled with cries of agony, and the stench of blood filled everyone's nostrils.

Caught in a pincer attack, the foreign king's army suffered repeated defeats.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the foreign king's face grew increasingly desperate.

But Li Jingyang didn't give him a chance to react and led his men straight into the camp.

"Long time no see, foreign king."

Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Li Jingyang slightly curled his lips and raised his voice.

The two were still some distance apart, but Li Jingyang's voice still reached the foreign king's ears clearly.

He clenched his fists angrily: "Your Highness is truly remarkable, with brilliant strategies. I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang looked at him coldly and said, "If you surrender now, I might consider saying a few good words for you before the Emperor."

However, these words only made the foreign king's face even more uncomfortable.

"Retreat! Don't fight them!"

The foreign king gritted his teeth, but did not want to sit idly by and wait for his death. Instead, he gave a stern order.

Upon hearing the order, the crowd stood guard around him and retreated.

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed across Li Jingyang's eyes, and his soldiers began to stir restlessly.

The foreign king returned to his tent, clutching the wound on his shoulder, his eyes showing some displeasure.

At this time, General Li was still waiting behind the military camp.

Seeing the foreign king retreat, the soldiers became even more excited, their eyes shining brightly even in the darkness.

Lin Rusi looked up at Li Jingyang, her eyes also showing a hint of fighting spirit.

"Your Highness, this is a golden opportunity. As long as we send out the signal, we can surround them together with General Li and capture the foreign king alive!"

Take advantage of his illness to kill him.

If we let the foreign king go this time, who knows if they will take precautions and launch a counterattack?

The best approach is to give them no chance to breathe.

Li Jingyang nodded in agreement: "Ye Qing, go set off fireworks to signal General Li."

This was agreed upon during the discussions that day: as soon as the fireworks were set off, they would storm in and launch an attack together with Li Jingyang's men.

"Soldiers, charge with me! Capture the foreign king alive!"

While the foreign king was tending to his wounds, two soldiers, covered in blood, were thrown in with a thud.

"My lord! They've broken in!"

The foreign king's expression changed drastically: "This...this Li Jingyang has no intention of giving me a way out!"

"Your Highness! This way! Leave through the secret passage. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"

At this moment, a man in black appeared from another place and pulled the foreign king away.

On the other side, Li Jingyang's offensive was unstoppable. He captured the soldiers under the foreign king in one fell swoop, and attacked from both sides, leaving them with nowhere to retreat, thus annihilating the enemy army in one fell swoop.

But after they rushed in, Li Jingyang led his men to search all the tents and completely surrounded the area, but they still couldn't find the foreign king.

"Damn it! He got away!"

Li Jingyang was extremely annoyed, while Lin Rusi narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

Now that the foreign king's power has waned, his rebellion can no longer be concealed.

Moreover, after this defeat, the enemy's territory is now completely lost.

After suffering a crushing defeat, the Western Regions would never offer him any further assistance.

This is already the best possible ending!

Upon returning to their territory, Li Jingyang immediately wrote a letter of divorce and sent it back to the capital.

Lin Rusi watched quietly from the side without offering any opinion.

General Li, however, remained hesitant to speak. He opened his mouth as if to say something.

Looking up, he met Li Jingyang's hesitant expression. Li Jingyang frowned and said in a low voice, "General Li, just say what you have to say."

"Your Highness! Your Highness, that foreign prince has committed grave crimes. I think we should seize this opportunity to capture him and not give him a chance to breathe!"

General Li was very anxious; it was clear that he really wanted to get rid of the foreign king.

Seeing that Li Jingyang had no intention of speaking, Lin Rusi could only continue, "General Li, that foreign king wants to escape, but you won't find him."

"Besides, he's already escaped through the tunnel. Who knows where he'll go? If he goes to the Western Regions, do you think you can catch him?"

After a pause, she added, "Instead of wasting time on that kind of person, we should think about how to attack and defend."

"Offensive and defensive formations?" General Li was clearly confused and stared straight at him.

"Yes, Your Highness has already written the letter of divorce. Your Highness and I will soon return to the capital. At that time, the people of Danzhou will still need General Li to protect them."

"This……"

Before General Li could react, Lin Rusi quickly added, "By the way, this is what I prepared for General Li."

Lin Rusi quickly stepped forward and handed over the defense map in her hand. "This is something His Highness and I discussed for a long time before coming up with. General Li can take a look when he has nothing to do. It would be best to send two more people to keep a close watch on the surrounding countries and prevent any unrest."

General Li was stunned, somewhat bewildered.

“Strange movement?” General Li was puzzled.

However, Lin Rusi did not explain anything, so General Li could only stop asking.

Two days later, the emperor's edict arrived.

The emperor granted their request to return to the capital. As for the situation in Danzhou, the emperor knew everything clearly from the letter Li Jingyang sent back.

As for General Li, although he didn't understand why Lin Rusi told him to be wary of neighboring countries.
