"In the eyes of the Emperor, the Liu Family is obviously more loyal than the Hua Family and easier to control." Mo Xiuyao calmly pointed out the truth.
Feng Zhiyao nodded and said mockingly, "Isn't that so? If the Liu Family is not loyal to the Emperor, how could they have been favored by the Emperor all these years?" Selling their daughters for glory … Based on this point, the Hua Family could not compare to the Liu Family.
"The Emperor will not let a person who knows nothing control hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Liu Jingyun is just a pawn on the surface. Now that Mo Jingli has rebelled, the Emperor will not trust the Ye family anymore. It is inevitable that he will support the Liu Family. However … the Emperor will probably support some new forces to fight against the Liu Family in this short period of time. " Mo Xiuyao said carelessly, as if he was not worried about the war in Yonglin. "When the reinforcements arrive, we will leave Yonglin. Since the Emperor wants to drag it out, let him drag it out. This war will take three to five months to finish. "
"Murong Shen greets the Prince and Princess Consort." Murong Shen quickly walked in and paid his respects.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "General, please sit down and talk. Why have you come here at this time? "
Murong Shen nodded awkwardly. He looked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "I heard that the Prince will leave Yonglin today. I wonder … what does the Prince think about the war in Yongzhou?" Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "General, what do you mean? Once the reinforcements arrive, Shattered Snow Pass will be safe. " Murong Shen sighed helplessly. He looked at Mo Xiuyao and said seriously, "I always speak frankly. Prince, please don't blame me. With the help of the Prince, I believe that the Rebellion of Prince Li will be quelled within a month. But why does the Prince … "Mo Xiuyao shook his head with a smile." General, you and I both know that the general is not subject to the Emperor's orders when he is away. However, there were very few monarchs who could accept these words since ancient times. I'm sure you know what happened to those generals who didn't take orders from the emperor. "
"These days, King Li's army has not moved. I am worried that King Li will send his army to the east. At that time, the people in the southeast will be involved in the war again." Murong Shen said seriously. He was a military general and only had a vague understanding of court affairs. That was why he couldn't understand why there was a better way to solve the problem. Why did they have to drag it out and let the people suffer? Mo Xiuyao shook his head and sighed, "It's too late … Mo Jingli has already split into two groups heading east. In fact, the reason Mo Jingli didn't make any move these days was because Mo Jingli might not be in the army anymore. "Murong Shen was shocked and asked," If so, why didn't Prince stop them? "
"General …" Mo Xiuyao smiled bitterly. Murong Shen immediately regretted his words. In the Emperor's eyes, King Ding's residence was more terrifying than King Li's rebel army. How could he allow Prince Ding to interfere with King Li's affairs? He was afraid that once the Mohist army moved, the Emperor would immediately punish Prince Ding for disobeying the emperor. At that time … hundreds of thousands of Mohist army … Murong Shen couldn't help shivering and didn't dare to think about it. "The war in the southeast is inevitable. General only needs to guard Shatter Snow Pass and not let Nanzhao's army enter to join King Li. As for King Li's army in Yongzhou, they will definitely leave Yongzhou in less than a month. Will the Da Chu State be divided into north and south? "Murong Shen asked silently in his heart. Was dealing with Prince Ding, who had protected the country, more important than quelling the rebel King Li? The honest General Murong naturally didn't understand that in the eyes of Emperor Mo Jingqi, Mo Xiuyao and Mo Jingli were never on the same level. As long as he could deal with Mo Xiuyao, even if there was another Mo Jingli, there was nothing to worry about. Jiangnan was occupied by Mo Jingli, and he would take it back sooner or later. However, if he allowed Mo Xiuyao to occupy Jiangnan, not only would he not take it back, he would also have to guard against whether he would extend his hand to Jiangbei or even try to take over the entire Da Chu State. Thus, in reality, other than his initial rage, after Mo Jingqi calmed down, he was almost happy with Mo Jingli's sudden rebellion. Only then would he have a perfect reason to kill his younger brother, who was born of the same mother.
"General Pingkou has arrived!" A loud voice rang out from outside the courtyard, causing everyone, including Murong Shen, to change their expressions. In front of Prince Ding, not to mention a general who had never been on the battlefield and had just been conferred the title of General, even the Old Hua Duke wouldn't be so rude. Was this newly appointed General too brainless, or did he not care about Prince Ding at all?
A flurry of footsteps came from afar. It was clear that there were more than one or two people. Ye Li tilted her head and heard the footsteps. There were at least twenty to thirty people. She couldn't help but smile. Did this General Pingkou come here just to show off his prowess? Feng Zhiyao received Ye Li's gaze and curled his lips in disdain. Showing off in front of the Prince? Was there something wrong with his head? The Prince of the Northern Tribes who had shown off in front of Prince Ding hadn't recovered his senses yet.
Just as they reached the entrance, the group was blocked. A sharp voice rang out. "Impudent! General Pingkou is here. Why aren't you letting us in? "
The guard at the entrance was not afraid. He said calmly, "General, please remove your weapon. Your bodyguards are not allowed in."
"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the army. How can I remove my weapon? What does Prince Prince Ding mean by this? "A younger voice sounded with a hint of arrogance and displeasure. The guard said in a low voice, "Bringing weapons in without the permission of the Prince will be treated as an assassination attempt. As the Commander-in-Chief of the army, General Pingkou should know this. Please don't make things difficult for me. "
Hearing the commotion at the entrance, Mo Xiuyao rubbed his brows impatiently and said, "Let them in."
There was a moment of silence outside the courtyard. Soon, two men walked in. The one in front was dressed in white, with a white battle robe and a silver scabbard sword hanging from his waist. He looked … shiny. Ye Li blinked. She couldn't help but remember that Mo Xiuyao also seemed to be dressed in white like this a few days ago. She looked at the people walking over and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Mo Xiuyao was dressed in white, riding a white horse and holding a silver spear. He did look elegant and imposing, but the person in front of her … Ye Li strangely thought of a saying. Those who liked to dress in white were all narcissists who were cold on the inside but passionate on the inside. Just as she was thinking with her head lowered, a slightly cold hand grasped her hand. Ye Li looked up at him. Mo Xiuyao looked at her with a smile. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Ye Li shook her head to show that it was nothing. She raised her head to look at the person she had ignored. There was nothing special about the person behind her that left a deep impression. If she had to say something, it was that he was limping when he walked. Ye Li thought of a certain person who had been called an idiot by Mo Xiuyao last year.
The two people stood in front of the crowd. They didn't seem to have any intention of saluting. Of course, no one here wanted to salute them. Except for Feng Zhiyao, no one here was lower than them. Feng Zhiyao wasn't a general conferred by the imperial court. Naturally, he didn't have any intention of saluting them. The courtyard was silent for a moment. Guan Ren, who was standing behind Liu Jingyun, seemed to have realized that this couldn't go on. He stood up and said, "Prince, General Liu and I are here to take over Yonglin City under the orders of the Emperor."
