The usually calm Military Advisor's face was also deathly pale. In their plan, no matter what, Mo Xiuyao would not appear in Yong Zhou so quickly. No, it should be said that Mo Xiuyao would not appear in Yong Zhou at all. But now … a crippled Prince Ding was indeed terrifying, but a healthy Prince Ding who could move freely was even more terrifying. "Prince, has there been any news from the capital? Prince Ding … "Mo Jingli snorted coldly." Mo Xiuyao left the capital long before we mobilized. And Ye Li! It's actually her! " When he thought about how the person who made the Black Cloud Cavalry block his path was Ye Li, Mo Jingli wanted nothing more than to capture her and skin her alive. The Military Advisor said, "Previously, it was rumored that Princess Ding went missing. Now it seems that she should have gone to Nanzhao. Previously, Nanzhao sent news that Young Master Qingchen was missing … I'm afraid that Princess Ding went to Nanzhao for Young Master Qingchen. " The more he spoke, the colder the Military Advisor's heart became. Prince Ding, Princess Ding, Murong Shen, and Young Master Qingchen who was very likely to appear. The people in front of them almost made him see no hope of breaking through Yong Lin. "Prince, I feel that the plan now is to immediately give up on Yong Zhou and lead the army east. Before the imperial court's reinforcements arrive, we should seize all the areas south of Yun Lan River."
Mo Jingli said in a low voice, "Mo Xiuyao has already reached Yong Lin. Do you think he will let us withdraw?"
The Military Advisor stroked his beard and said, "With Prince's understanding of Prince Ding, with Prince Ding's temper, will he give up so easily today?"
Mo Jingli lowered his brows and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Mo Xiuyao was known as Fierce Wind when he was young. He has always been swift and decisive when it comes to war. Based on his temper in the past, he wouldn't give up until the other side suffered heavy casualties in today's battle. " The Military Advisor smiled and nodded, "If that's the case, why does Prince think that Prince Ding didn't follow up his victory today?" Mo Jingli's eyes flashed and he raised his voice slightly, "He doesn't have enough troops!" Military Advisor clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right, Yong Lin is limited by the terrain, and the Black Cloud Cavalry is coming in a hurry, we are unable to see how many soldiers they have. But Prince Ding should know about our military strength. The fact that he didn't press the advantage means that our forces are at least twice as strong as his. "Mo Jingli nodded." That's right. How could my brother, the emperor, allow him to mobilize more than a hundred thousand soldiers so easily? Not to mention … he wouldn't be able to get there so quickly if he had an army of over a hundred thousand. If that's the case, why don't we … "
"Absolutely not!" The military advisor hurriedly interrupted his thoughts and advised, "Prince, please reconsider. Prince Ding might not have enough troops, but there isn't any place near Yong Lin that is suitable for large armies to engage in battle. As long as he defends Yong Lin, we won't be able to do anything to him within ten days to half a month. After ten days to half a month … the imperial army will arrive no matter how slow they are. At that time, it will be too late for us to return to the east. " Saying ten days to half a month was being polite. With Prince Ding's twenty thousand Black Cloud Cavalry defending the city, let alone ten days to half a month, as long as they didn't lack food or weapons, it would be hard to say if they could break through in two to three months. It must be known that the Black Cloud Cavalry's archery skills were something that even the Northern Militant Cavalry feared. It would be difficult for the attacking army to even get close to Yong Lin City.
"This …" Mo Jingli's expression changed unpredictably. There was unwillingness and anger, as well as an undetectable fear. This fear might not be because of Mo Xiuyao himself, but because he was the same as all of the Da Chu State's soldiers. He had a natural reverence for the Mohist army and the Ding Palace.
"Prince, as long as we occupy all the places south of the Yun Lan River and then firmly defend the Yun Lan River, Yong Lin will not be able to do anything. Yong Zhou is but a small place, and there is Nanzhao as a restraint. The imperial court is powerless. Now that Prince Ding's legs have suddenly recovered, that person in the capital is probably terrified. This way, he will definitely not use Prince Ding to deal with us. As long as Prince Ding and the Mohist army do not come, half of the Da Chu State will be in Prince Ding's pocket. As for the rest, it is not impossible to slowly plan in the future. " The military advisor advised painstakingly. Yong Zhou could not be done. Since it was like before, it would be better to take over all of Jiangnan before the imperial army arrived. Otherwise, it would be like drawing water with a wicker basket. Looking at the wavering King Li, the military advisor felt slightly bitter in his heart. When King Li encountered matters, he was hesitant and indecisive. It was fine to be a rich and idle king, but he was still lacking in conquering the world.
Just as Mo Jingli was hesitating, a soldier outside the tent reported, "Reporting to Prince, there is an emissary from Xiling outside the camp requesting an audience."
"Xiling?" Mo Jingli frowned. "What are they doing here? Let him in! "
Not long after, a middle-aged man with an elegant and kind appearance was brought in. "I am He Wuyuan of Xiling's Zhennan Palace. Greetings to Your Highness King Li."
"He Ying Li?" Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes slightly. The military advisor standing beside him was slightly moved. "One of the three wise men under Jhennan Of Gojoseon, Sir Ying Li?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly. "That is me."
Mo Jingli stared at him and said, "Sir He is Jhennan Of Gojoseon's right-hand man. Why have you suddenly appeared here with I?"
He Wuyuan smiled and said, "On the orders of the Prince and the Crown Prince, I am willing to ally with King Li."
"Ally?" The military advisor did not understand. He Wuyuan smiled and said, "I heard that King Li is stirring up trouble in Jiangnan. My Prince and the Crown Prince admire Prince's ambition. At the same time, Prince should know that Zhennan Palace and Xiling have a blood feud with the Ding Palace of Eastern Chu. Therefore, His Highness ordered me to serve His Highness like a dog and horse. On the day that the Prince succeeds, Jhennan Of Gojoseon will personally come to Lingzhou to congratulate the Prince on his coronation. "Mo Jingli looked at him and asked," What do your Prince and the Crown Prince want? "He had long known that there was always a trade-off. He Wuyuan smiled and said, "Xiling does not need Prince to pay any price. There is only one thing … Prince Ding and the Mohist army. Prince Ding's legs have already recovered. I presume that the Prince has already seen them today? Mo Xiuyao was ambitious when he was young. That year, when he was only fourteen or fifteen, he almost destroyed Nanzhao. Now that he has been dormant for several years, I'm afraid that he will be like a tiger out of its cage. No one in the world can stop him. My Lord is worried about Xiling's safety. Therefore, he wants to ally with Prince to stabilize the Ding Palace. Please reconsider, Prince. "
Mo Jingli was somewhat displeased. Although He Wuyuan said that he wanted to ally with him to fight against Mo Xiuyao, his words were full of praise for Mo Xiuyao. He said lightly, "Mo Xiuyao has been idle at home for nearly ten years. Moreover, he is young, and it may not be good when he grows up. Teacher, you are exaggerating. "
He Wuyuan was not angry. He chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if I am exaggerating or not. The Ding Palace is famous throughout history, and Mo Xiuyao has never tasted defeat in his life. This is also the truth. "
"Could it be that Teacher He has a plan to deal with Mo Xiuyao?" Mo Jingli raised his eyebrows and said mockingly.
He Wuyuan smiled and said, "Although I cannot guarantee that I can defeat Prince Ding, I can help Prince Li stabilize his position in Jiangnan."
"Oh?" Mo Jingli's eyes flashed slightly. He sized up He Wuyuan with a look of evaluation. He Wuyuan did not mind and smiled calmly. "Prince, do not worry. Prince Ding definitely does not have much time to stay in Yongzhou. As long as he is transferred away, the court will not be able to stop Prince's momentum even if they send a million troops, let alone a hundred thousand. "
