Mo Xiuyao did not make things difficult for him. Nodding slightly, he turned to Feng Zhiyao and said, "Feng San, order the Black Cloud Cavalry to withdraw from Yonglin."
"Yes, Prince."
"Wait!" Guan Jue hurriedly stopped him. Looking somewhat arrogantly at Mo Xiuyao, he said, "Prince may not have heard clearly. General Liu and I are under the Emperor's orders to take over Yonglin, including the soldiers of Yonglin City." In one sentence, not only Yonglin City, but also Yonglin City's twenty thousand Black Cloud Cavalry. Everyone present sucked in a breath in their hearts. They looked at Guan Jue as if they were looking at a dead person. Mo Xiuyao did not seem to be angry. Smiling faintly, he said, "General Guan, did the Emperor … send you to provoke I?"
Guan Jue's breathing stopped. With a stiff expression, he said, "What does Prince mean by this? The Emperor ordered Prince to lead troops to reinforce Yonglin. He did not order the Prince to be the commander-in-chief to quell the rebellion. Now that the commander-in-chief is here, shouldn't the Prince hand over the military power of Yonglin? " Of course, he remembered the Emperor's orders before he left to not easily provoke Mo Xiuyao. But … thinking of the humiliation Mo Xiuyao gave him in the past, a trace of hatred flashed through Guan Jue's eyes. Raising his head, he tried to make himself appear more righteous. Murong Shen frowned and said, "General Guan, Prince only ordered the Black Cloud Cavalry to withdraw. You should know that the Black Cloud Cavalry …" Guan Jue loudly interrupted, "Is the Black Cloud Cavalry not the army of Da Chu State? Or does the Dingguo Prince want to maintain his own military power?! "At the end of his words, Guan Jue looked at Mo Xiuyao with a gaze that could almost be described as malicious.
Mo Xiuyao held onto the armrest and slowly stood up. Guan Jue was startled and couldn't help but take a step back. Mo Xiuyao took two steady steps forward. Looking at him with a calm expression, he asked softly, "General Guan, did you think that after a few years of recuperation, I's temper would be better than before?" Guan Jue's face paled. He stared fearfully at the frail-looking man in white. Did Mo Xiuyao have a good temper? At least nine and a half out of ten people who knew him now would think that he had a good temper. However, those who had truly known Mo Xiuyao for a long time knew that this person … had never been someone with a good temper. He could beat Mo Jingli up just because he tried to trip him up. He could also join forces with Feng Zhiyao to beat Mo Jingli up and hang him up on a tree. He could also whip Guan Jie in front of an army of several thousand without saying a word because of his poor command. This kind of temperament could not be considered good.
"You … what do you want to do?" Guan Jie asked in fear.
"If what you said just now wasn't the Emperor's idea … General Guan, do you know what punishment you will receive?" Mo Xiuyao asked calmly.
Guan Jie looked at Mo Xiuyao in fear, but he didn't dare to say that it was Mo Jingqi's idea. Even if Mo Jingqi was crazy, he wouldn't ask Mo Xiuyao for the military power of the Black Cloud Cavalry. Not to mention whether Mo Xiuyao would give it to him, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to use it. Instead, he would only cause trouble for himself. He could only look pleadingly at Liu Jingyun, who had been ignored. Although Liu Jingyun was unhappy with Prince Ding's disregard, only after seeing Prince Ding did she realize that she didn't have the aura to compete with Prince Ding. Her previous arrogance was only left with unwillingness and fear.
"Prince … Prince …" Under Mo Xiuyao's gaze, Guan Jie's expression began to tremble. Finally, as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out, he knelt down weakly on the ground. Mo Xiuyao walked past him with steady steps. "Feng San, get ready to leave."
"Yes, Prince."
Ye Li smiled and nodded to Murong Shen, then followed him. Murong Shen helplessly looked at the two new generals, sighed and turned to leave. Fortunately, this general had no subordinate relationship with him. In this case, he would take care of his own troops and guard his own pass.
Liu Jingyun, who had been left behind, stared blankly at the figures disappearing outside the door. Did anyone remember that he was the new general?
The Black Cloud Cavalry was indeed obedient. In less than fifteen minutes after Mo Xiuyao's order, the real Black Cloud Cavalry had all withdrawn from Yonglin City. The strange movements of the Black Cloud Cavalry made the opposing rebel army nervous. When they confirmed that the Black Cloud Cavalry had no intention of attacking them, they sighed in relief. But they did not dare to let down their guard. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao also returned to their rooms to pack and prepare to leave the city to meet with the Black Cloud Cavalry.
"Wang Fei, Officer Yun requests an audience," An Er reported from outside the door.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow, curious about Yun Ting's intentions. "Let him in."
A moment later, Yun Ting walked in with a nervous expression. Ye Li had a good impression of this young general and smiled faintly. Yun Ting looked at Ye Li's light clothing and asked, "Is Wang Fei and the Prince leaving soon?" Ye Li nodded and said, "The Prince is handing over to General Liu and will leave soon. Are Officer Yun and Officer Xia also returning to Shattered Snow Pass? "
"I … …" Yun Ting was slightly embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, saying, "This general wants to join the Black Cloud Cavalry. Wang Fei, please take me in."
Ye Li looked in shock at Yun Ting's determined expression. She frowned and said, "If Officer Yun wants to join the Black Cloud Cavalry, you should ask the Prince. Why are you asking me?"
Yun Ting stilled and didn't know what to do. Previously, he had only thought that Wang Fei was here so he could ask Wang Fei, but he had forgotten that Prince Ding was also here. This kind of matter would most likely require Prince Ding's agreement. Seeing Yun Ting's dazed state, Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Why would Officer Yun want to join the Black Cloud Cavalry?" The Black Cloud Cavalry was chosen from the elites of the Mohist army. It wasn't something that could be joined just because one wanted to. Yun Ting gritted his teeth and said, "Only the Black Cloud Cavalry is the best army in the Da Chu State. Yun Ting wants to join the Black Cloud Cavalry and follow the Prince and Wang Fei on the battlefield."
Seeing Yun Ting's serious appearance, Ye Li burst into laughter.
"Officer Yun, you are already the most outstanding officer under General Mu Rong's command. This time, you have made great contributions defending Yonglin. In a few years, you will become the youngest general in the Da Chu State. If you join the Black Cloud Cavalry … … "Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile. Yun Ting hurriedly said, "As long as I can join the Black Cloud Cavalry, Yun Ting is willing to be a normal soldier." Ye Li looked at him, "Officer Yun, do you know why the Black Cloud Cavalry only has several tens of thousands of people?" Yun Ting said matter-of-factly, "The Black Cloud Cavalry is the elite of the elite. Since they are the elite, they are naturally the minority." Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right, the Black Cloud Cavalry is the elite of the elite. But … … because they are the elite, they are the minority. In a true battle, the Black Cloud Cavalry will never be the most important troops. "
"Hm?" Yun Ting did not understand. They had only heard stories since they were young about how the Black Cloud Cavalry had made great contributions and how they had turned the tides. Why was Wang Fei's explanation different?
Ye Li smiled slightly and said, "What is the reason for the two armies to fight?"
"To attack cities and seize land."
"That's right, the Black Cloud Cavalry can raid from a thousand li, they can ambush and kill leaders. They can complete many missions that normal soldiers cannot. But … … they cannot attack a city alone, nor can they defend a city alone. Therefore, they are only there to support the army. "Ye Li said softly.
