"Trash! Pass down the order, bring the heads of Chu Shaoying and those bastards back to see me! "Mo Jingli roared angrily.
"Your … Your Majesty …" The attendant beside him said awkwardly, "This … I'm afraid … Prince Ding left a group of 200 Qi Lin in Liyang City. I'm afraid that our people in Liyang … "
As the saying goes, blessings do not come in pairs and misfortunes do not come singly. Just when Mo Jingli thought that he was already unlucky enough, there were still more unlucky things waiting for him. The group of people did not even have time to heal Mo Jingli's injuries before they secretly headed towards Jiangnan. But they did not expect that in less than two days, another piece of news spread throughout the country. The Empress Dowager of Da Chu State and the officials of Nanjing deposed Mo Jingli on the grounds that the Emperor had murdered the two previous Emperors and caused the deaths of millions of soldiers. They supported the previous Emperor Mo Jingqi's son, Mo Suiyun, who was 14 years old, to become the Emperor. They also announced that they would mend their relationship with the Prince Ding Mansion and attack Xi Ling together. Without waiting for Mo Jingli to return, Mo Suiyun ascended the Emperor with the support of the Empress Dowager and the officials. On the second day of his ascension, he ordered an army of 300,000 soldiers to cross the Yun Lan River and march towards Xi Ling. After receiving this news, Mo Jingli vomited blood on the spot and fainted. After he woke up, he screamed crazily and smashed everything in the room. This caused his already injured body to become even weaker. However, Mo Jingli was still unwilling to stop. "Mo Xiuyao! Mo Xiuyao! I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you! "
Outside the door, Mo Jingli's high-pitched screams gradually became sharp and ear-piercing, causing the guards outside to tremble uncontrollably.
In Lei Tengfeng's army in West-Hill, Lei Tengfeng, who had been dealing with Murong Shen and Marquis Nan these days, looked a little tired. After all, Marquis Nan and Murong Shen were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Even though Lei Tengfeng had the upper hand in terms of military strength, he still did not gain much advantage in the confrontation with them. These days, both sides could only be considered to be in a stalemate, with both sides winning and losing. However, the situation was not as smooth as the father and son had expected. The Xiling Army suffered heavy losses as soon as they arrived at Feihong Pass. Even Lei Zhenting was seriously injured. This was definitely something that no one had expected. As a result, the morale of the West-Hill troops surrounding the Feihong Pass was low. On the other hand, because of Mo Xiuyao's death, the Mohist army at Feihong Pass was dressed in mourning clothes and filled with killing intent. They were bent on avenging Prince Ding. Under such a contrast, even if the Xiling Army was several times more powerful than the Mohist army, it was not so easy to take down the Feihong Pass in a short time.
In the past two days, Murong Shen and Marquis Nan, who had been provoking them almost every day, had disappeared. This made Lei Zhenting, who had wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, feel as if he had punched cotton. And this sudden change made him faintly feel a trace of uneasiness and conspiracy.
"Greetings, Crown Prince." A general in military uniform hurried in. Lei Tengfeng's expression brightened. He sat up and said, "General Yang, why are you in such a hurry?"
General Yang frowned and said, "Crown Prince, I just found out that Murong Shen and Marquis Nan's troops suddenly retreated 30 miles last night and set up camp. It seems that they don't plan to fight with us these days. "Lei Tengfeng frowned," Don't plan to fight? Do they have any tricks up their sleeves? " No wonder Lei Tengfeng suspected. They might be able to escape for a while. Anyway, the task of their troops was to kill Marquis Nan and Murong Shen here. But the other side absolutely did not have the time. After all, the Feihong Pass was still surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Xiling Army. And behind the Feihong Pass was the headquarters of the Mohist army. Murong Shen and Marquis Nan could not afford to gamble.
General Yang frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think Marquis Nan and Murong Shen are no longer in the army at this time."
"What did you say?" Lei Tengfeng suddenly got up and said in a low voice, "Did they rush back to the Feihong Pass? That's impossible. Even if they are escorted by Qi Lin, we have blocked all the roads to the Feihong Pass. They can't go back without alerting us. "In order to trap Marquis Nan and Murong Shen outside the Feihong Pass, Lei Tengfeng spent a lot of effort. Without these two strong generals in their prime, at this time in the Feihong Pass, except for Ye Li and Feng Zhiyao, the most capable fighter was the old General Yuan Pei, who was in his seventies.
General Yang was silent for a moment and said, "But … I have sent people to investigate. At least 50% sure that these two people are really not in the army." If Murong Shen and Marquis Nan were afraid of one of them, the Mohist army would never retreat so far to set up camp. It was obvious that they did not want to fight with them for the time being.
Lei Tengfeng frowned anxiously, "If they didn't return to the Feihong Pass and are not in the army, where did they go? No, send people to investigate first. What if this is a trap they designed in advance … "
"Yes, I will do as you say!" General Yang saluted.
"Young Prince! Young Prince, something bad has happened! "There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent. Lei Tengfeng frowned unhappily and said, "Come in and talk."
The person outside the door hurriedly came in and said while panting, "Young Prince, there is a large army coming toward us from the direction of Liyang. According to the estimate of the scouts in front, there are at least … at least 700,000 to 800,000 people! "
"What? Mo Jingli was defeated?! "General Yang was shocked.
Lei Tengfeng looked dignified, "No, where did the Mohist army get 700,000 to 800,000 people?" Even if Lenghuai and Lu Jinxian's men were not damaged, they were not enough to fight 800,000 people. What's more, after fighting for so long, how could they not be damaged? How could they not be left to guard? Moreover, the Mohist army had always strictly prohibited conscription on the battlefield. It was impossible for the Mohist army to have so many people.
"Who is leading the army?" Lei Tengfeng asked.
"It's … it's Mo Xiuyao … The scouts in front said that they saw the flag of the Prince Ding Mansion!"
