Chapter 553 Suspicion
Everyone nodded in agreement.
He Yanxiu thought for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, we can tell the public that we are going to continue attacking Yuanping County, which my third uncle just attacked."
He Yanxiu was still very uneasy about Lu Yunyue's ambush.
"Alright." Duke Dingguo nodded. "Yuanping County is not too far from Zhuchuan County. The directions are roughly the same. This way we can conceal our tracks."
It is better to believe it! Before a war, it is better to be cautious.
The matter was settled, and everyone went to prepare.
As Duke Dingguo had instructed, he did not say much to his subordinates, nor did he mention the destination of the trip. He simply counted the soldiers and sorted out the armor, weapons, dry food, horses and other items to be carried.
Night falls over the entire earth and everyone is ready to go.
Duke Dingguo and Lu Yuntao personally led their troops there, while Lu Yuncheng led his troops to Taoyuan County to provide support in order to prevent the Xijinyun Kingdom and the Tianyun Kingdom from joining forces to attack Taoyuan County.
Zou Yunqi led the Lu family's personal soldiers to the west side of Zhuchuan County to prevent other troops from Xijinyun Kingdom from coming to support.
Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu were left to guard Xueyue Prefecture.
Qin Peiyou, He Yanxiu and some soldiers were also ready to go in case of emergency.
The lights in Seorak Palace tonight are so bright that it seems as if it is daytime.
After waking up, Lu Yunyue took two doses of medicine and drank a bowl of minced meat porridge. Although his spirits were still not very good, they were much better than when he just woke up.
Looking at the shadows of the guards patrolling back and forth in the courtyard reflected in the window, Lu Yunyue pursed his lips again and again.
Hopefully, everything goes well tonight.
"General." Seeing that Lu Yunyue had been sitting there all the time, the guard reminded him, "The doctor said that the general needs to rest. You should lie down and rest early."
Everyone has already set off, and everyone will do their best tonight. He is worried here now and can't help at all.
For him, the important thing is to recover from his injuries so that he can return to the battlefield as soon as possible.
"Yeah." Lu Yunyue nodded.
The guard laid Lu Yunyue's pillow flat and helped him lie down.
After Lu Yunyue lay down, he asked again, "How is Lieutenant General He now? Is he awake?"
"I just heard that Lieutenant General He has woken up, but he is too seriously injured to move or even speak." The guard replied, "But don't worry, General. The doctor is waiting by his side. He said that his life is not in danger and he just needs to be treated properly."
Lu Yunyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell the doctor to do his best to treat Deputy General He."
"Don't worry, General."
Lu Yuntao had also reminded him of this, and the military doctor knew the importance of He Liangyi to Lu Yunyue, so he was well aware of it.
It can be seen from the fact that it was already late at night, but the doctor was still guarding He Liangyi.
"Yeah." Lu Yunyue closed his eyes with some difficulty.
The guard covered him with a quilt, extinguished all the candles in the room except for the last one, and then quietly left the room.
He told the guard at the door to listen carefully to the noise inside, and the guard went to take a look at He Liangyi's room.
At this time, the doctor was changing the medicine for He Liangyi's knife wound and checking whether the ribs that had been repaired in the afternoon were dislocated.
The best white medicine for treating knife wounds causes a stinging pain when it is applied to the wound.
He Liangyi had so many wounds all over his body, and with the pain from his broken ribs, he was no longer able to feel the pain of changing the dressings, and even his eyebrows didn't move at all.
But when he saw the guards around Lu Yunyue coming into the room, He Liangyi frowned and uttered a sentence with difficulty in a hoarse voice, "General...how is he...?"
After saying this, he was out of breath.
"Deputy General He, don't worry." The guard replied hurriedly, "The general is fine. His injuries are stable and he has already rested. But the general is worried about Deputy General He's injuries, so I came to visit him specially."
"That...that's good." He Liangyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"The general is concerned about Lieutenant General He, so he specifically asked his subordinates to instruct the doctors to carefully examine Lieutenant General He." The guard said, "This time the general and Lieutenant General He were seriously injured, and the army also suffered heavy losses. The Duke and several generals were furious. Now the Duke and General Tao have led their troops to avenge the general and Lieutenant General He!"
Duke Dingguo and Lu Yuntao personally led the army to attack Xijinyun? He Liangyi was startled and sat up suddenly.
It was this large-scale movement that affected the wounds on his body, and even the ribs that had been repaired made a "crackling" sound.
The intense pain made He Liangyi gasp for air. He could not even sit still any longer and immediately fell backward on the bed.
"Deputy General He, be careful!" Seeing this, the doctor was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he hurried to check on He Liangyi's condition.
Seeing that the wound that had finally stopped bleeding was bleeding again, and even the bandage was soaked, and the ribs were dislocated again, the doctor was immediately distressed and said, "Deputy General He, don't move anymore, otherwise it will add insult to injury. It's really not good."
The guard rubbed his hands anxiously, "I know that Vice Admiral He is worried about the Duke and General Tao's situation in this battle, but please rest assured, Vice Admiral He, the Duke has made all the necessary arrangements and will surely win a great victory."
A foolproof strategy leads to a complete victory.
He Liangyi endured the severe pain in his body and said in a hoarse voice, "Duke... and... General He Tao, where are you going to attack?"
"I heard they were planning to attack Yuanping County." the guard replied.
Hit Yuanping...
Yuanping County was attacked by Lu Yunyue and his army two days ago. Xi Jinyun was worried that the Qin State would attack again, so he sent reinforcements to prevent any accidents.
It would be very difficult to attack Yuanping County at this time.
Logically speaking, Duke Dingguo would not make such a decision.
But then again, Lu Yunyue nearly died at the hands of Xi Jinyun this time, and Duke Dingguo loved his youngest son the most. He was furious at this moment and wanted to avenge his young son.
Even if Xi Jinyun sent reinforcements, everyone would think that since reinforcements had been sent, the Qin State would have thought of this and would not attack at such an inappropriate time. Naturally, the defense would be a little lax...
Perhaps this is what Duke Dingguo was planning.
But it doesn't matter. I have already reminded him a few times before. If things turn out badly this time, it can't be blamed on him.
The most important thing right now is that no one doubts him, and Lu Yunyue’s life is not in danger, which is great.
As for what's next...
He is already seriously injured and bedridden, with limited movement, but he can at least be quiet for a while.
"Yeah." He Liangyi responded and closed his eyes.
Seeing that He Liangyi's mood had stabilized, the doctor continued to change his dressing.
