Feng Zhiyao said, "I'm sure that West-Hill sent at least 600,000 soldiers this time. With so many soldiers and the reputation of West-Hill Jhennam Of Gojoseon as the God of War, not to mention you, Princess Consort, even those veterans on the battlefield are worried. " Although West-Hill Jhennam Of Gojoseon had been defeated by Mo Liufang, the Prince Regent of Da Chu State, Mo Liufang was dead and he was still alive.
"Li 'er, you did well." Xu Qingze looked at Ye Li and said lightly. His usually cold eyes were filled with a touch of warmth.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Second Brother, don't praise me. I may look calm on the surface, but my heart is in a mess."
Xu Qingze said, "Don't be too nervous. Just do what you can. If there's anything you want me to do, just ask. "
Ye Li nodded, "Thank you, Second Brother."
At this time, Mo Xiuyao, who was far away in the Northern Tribes, felt cold in his heart. Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, he couldn't help but think of the past year. Since the accident, he had never thought that his life would be so comfortable and happy. At first, they were like family and friends, then they helped each other hand in hand, and then they were deeply attached to each other. He didn't know when, but Li's every frown and smile had been engraved in his heart, and it would be difficult to remove in this life.
"Prince." A Shadow Guard quietly appeared behind him.
"What's the news?"
The Shadow Guard said, "The list of the people behind the assassination of Princess Consort has been investigated. And since West-Hill's invasion, the Emperor has summoned Princess Consort to the palace several times. It seems that he wants to take the military power of the Mohist army from Princess Consort. But he hasn't succeeded. "
Mo Xiuyao's eyes were dark. He sneered and said, "He can never tell what's important and what's urgent. Go and tell Ronghua that no matter what, we must leave tomorrow. "
The Shadow Guard hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that Princess Ronghua does not have such a deep influence on Yelu Hong."
Mo Xiuyao said nonchalantly, "If Yelu Hong wants to defeat Yelu Ye, he naturally knows what to do. Go and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow. "
The shadow guard nodded, "This subordinate obeys!"
Dismissing the guards, Mo Xiuyao raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, his gaze gradually becoming gentle. "Li Li … Xiuyao always makes you suffer … one day … one day, I will deliver the best in the world to you. As for those who want to hurt you … I will never let them off! " Originally, Mo Xiuyao should have returned to the capital the moment he heard the news of West-Hill's invasion. However, the King of the Northern Tribes' attitude was unusually firm. He insisted that Mo Xiuyao stay and attend the Crown Prince's wedding. He even faintly threatened him. Mo Xiuyao was not afraid of his threats. However, if he really left on the spot, the Da Chu State would very likely have to face the attack of two countries at the same time. The King of the Northern Tribes was not ready to annex the Da Chu State yet. However, he did not mind at all delaying Mo Xiuyao, the young God of War, for a period of time for West-Hill. Perhaps he could even gain some benefits from it. Therefore … he also deserved to die!
Ten li outside of Xinyang City, West-Hill's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were eyeing the city not far away. That city was more attractive and meaningful than a mere border city. There were countless provisions and military supplies. It was the richest and most prosperous city in the northwest. That city would become their first real step in conquering the Da Chu State. In the commander-in-chief's tent, Jhennam Of Gojoseon, who was almost fifty years old, was sitting behind a desk. He held the memorial that his subordinate had just sent to him with one hand and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he laughed wildly. The generals below looked at each other in dismay. They did not know what had made the Prince so happy. When he had finished laughing, he said loudly, "Mo Liufang! You also have a day like this! If you were to see your Ding Royal Estate in this state, would you regret it?! "
The generals all exchanged glances. The person standing at the front stepped forward and asked, "Prince, is there any good news?"
Jhennam Of Gojoseon casually handed over the memorial and said to everyone with a smile, "The Ding Royal Estate really does not have a successor. A woman is actually in charge of military power!" The general who saw the memorial had a strange expression on his face. He said, "Deputy Marquis Nanhou, the Ding Royal Consort is supervising the army? What does Dong Chu mean by this? "Jhennam Of Gojoseon lightly snorted and said," We have no choice. I have also heard of Marquis Nanhou. He has always been neutral and does not concern himself with worldly affairs. It's fine if he is a talented general. However, he does not have the ability to lead the Mohist army. Moreover, the military power of the Mohist army is not that easy to obtain. "
"Could it be that the Mohist army is currently in the hands of the Ding Royal Consort?" The general said in shock.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded and smiled thoughtfully, "That's right. Mo Xiuyao is far away in the Northern Tribes and cannot rush back. Without Mo Xiuyao, the Ding Royal Estate does not have anyone who can lead the army. Now, the military power has fallen into the hands of a sixteen or seventeen year old girl. " The generals below the tent could not help but become excited. They all whispered to each other for a while. Someone stepped forward and said, "Since it is like this, Prince, we can take this opportunity to take care of the Mohist army. This will prevent them from reuniting with Prince Ding and causing trouble for our expedition to Eastern Chu! " Jhennam Of Gojoseon slightly narrowed his eyes. His right hand carelessly stroked his empty left sleeve as he said, "Although I want to fight with Mo Xiuyao, but … as a general, we must not fight based on personal feelings. This time, it is indeed the best opportunity that the heavens have given us. If we can destroy this army, the Ding Royal Estate will not be able to achieve anything! "
"We will listen to Prince's orders!" Everyone said in unison. The idea of destroying the Ding Royal Estate made everyone's hearts become faintly excited.
Jhennam Of Gojoseon nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. Speed up the attack on Xinyang. We must take Xinyang City within three days! Then head to Jiangxia and wipe out the Mohist army in one fell swoop! "
"As you command!"
"Reporting to Wangfei, a letter has arrived on the second day." In the Mohist army's barracks, Ye Li was sitting in a large tent. She was discussing matters with Marquis Nan and the others while the entire army was stationed. Zhuo Jing came in holding a letter. Ye Li did not even raise her head as she lightly said, "Translate it for me." Zhuo Jing nodded and walked to the desk in the corner of the tent to translate the letter. Ye Li continued to speak to Marquis Nan, "It will take at least seven days for us to reach Jiangxia. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to speed up the army as Marquis Nan said."
Marquis Nan frowned and said, "Why is that? The Mohist army has always moved quickly. I remember that at their fastest, they could travel hundreds of li in a day … "
Ye Li shook her head and said, "Marquis Nan, that was a small army. We have an army of nearly three hundred thousand. The journey that should have taken ten days has been shortened to five days. Do you think that even if we really reach the border, these three hundred thousand soldiers will still have the strength to fight? I'm afraid that the West-Hill people will not give us time to rest. Once we reach Jiangxia, what awaits us will only be a fierce battle. " Marquis Nan sighed heavily, "How could I not know what Wangfei is talking about? It's just that I am really worried about Xinyang …" Ye Li shook her head and said in a low voice, "Xinyang cannot be protected. With Marquis Nan's ability, how many days can you defend Xinyang against the Jhennam Kingdom of Gojoseon? "Marquis Nan thought for a moment and said," Xinyang City does not lack military supplies. If it were me, I could defend it for a month. "
Ye Li said, "General Leng can defend it for half a month. Marquis Nan, do you know how many days it has been today. Even if we grew wings, we would not be able to reach Xinyang in time. Furthermore, Xinyang City does not lack anything. Xinyang City lacks water! "
