Outside Glass City, amidst the deafening war drums, two white figures walked side by side and stood proudly in front of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Mo Family army, which seemed to have no end in sight, was completely silent as the black banners fluttered in the wind. Everyone looked at the man and woman in white in front of them with trust and respect.
Behind Ye Li were the generals who were going to go with her. Zhang Qilan, Lu Jinxian, Feng Zhiyao, Mo Hua, Zhuo Jing … …
With wine as a sacrifice to the heavens, the air outside the city was filled with the faint fragrance of wine. After drinking a cup of wine with the people who came to send them off, as well as the Mo Family soldiers, Mo Xiuyao announced in a clear voice, "Set off!" His clear and melodious voice, mixed with his inner strength, spread throughout the entire area.
"Yes sir!" Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison.
Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li looked at each other and smiled. They walked to their horses at the front and mounted them. Taking the lead, the horses and carriages headed towards the official road in the distance. Following behind them were the various generals of the Mo Family Army. The Mo Family Army soldiers behind them also slowly began to move, gradually forming a long black dragon that gradually went further and further away.
Until the last group of Mohist army soldiers left the city gate, the people who were waiting outside the city to send them off gradually dispersed. Xu Hongyu and Xu Qingchen supported Master Qingyun on both sides and said, "Father, let's go back too." Master Qingyun nodded and sighed to his two sons and grandson, "Azure dragon soaring … … Glass City will have a lot of things to do in the future. Prince Ding actually entrusted the northwest to you guys. You guys have to take care of it. " Xu Hongyu said respectfully, "Father, don't worry. The northwest is the lifeline of the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army. I don't dare to neglect it."
Master Qingyun looked at his son and grandson in front of him and nodded with gratification. He smiled, "In the future, not only the world, but also the northwest. You guys have to be careful."
"Father, thank you for your reminder. I understand."
Mo Xiaobao held Leng Junhan and Xu Zhirui's hands and looked at the adults in front of him. Although he was smart enough, there were still some words that he couldn't understand. But he knew that Taigong was telling his granduncle and uncle something. "Taigong, Yu Chen also needs to help."
Mr. Qingyun smiled and rubbed Xiaobao's head. "You, being obedient means you've helped."
Xiaobao wrinkled his nose in grievance. He was no longer a child!
Xu Qingchen bent over and picked up Mo Xiaobao. He smiled and said, "Take good care of Zhirui and Junhan. This will be a great help to Uncle." Satisfied, Xiaobao snuggled into his uncle's arms. He must agree to Immortal Uncle's request. Looking at the two little buns beside him, Mo Xiaobao's sense of responsibility immediately swelled. These two little kids didn't know anything and obviously needed someone to take care of them. Alright, this prince will reluctantly take good care of them. Raising his head to look at the black dragon walking further and further away, Mo Xiaobao rubbed his nose against Xu Qingchen's chest, feeling a little sour. Xiao Bao really misses his mother.
The northwest area wasn't large. With the Mohist army's marching speed, it only took a few days to reach the border between the northwest and Xi Ling. The Mohist army didn't stop at all and didn't give the Xi Ling border guards time to react. In just two days, they broke through the border city of Xi Ling. This was also the first time someone had broken through the border city of Xi Ling since the establishment of Xi Ling. At this time, Xi Ling's god of war Lei Zhenting was still in Da Chu State, casting his ambitious gaze towards the rich south of Da Chu State.
Receiving the battle report, Lei Zhenting shattered the celadon teacup in shock. He suddenly stood up and roared, "Mo Xiuyao!"
The generals below who had been full of confidence looked at each other, not understanding what had happened. One of them gathered his courage and asked, "Prince? The Mohist army sent troops to help Da Chu State? Even so, we don't have to be afraid of him. " Although the Mohist army's bravery was well known, they weren't just facing Xi Ling this time. They were facing the Northern Region and the Northern Tribes at the same time. Although they didn't know what the Northern Region was like, they weren't simple to be able to get a few hundred miles away from the Chu capital in just a few months. As for the Northern Tribes, everyone knew that the barbarians beyond the Great Wall were valiant and good at fighting. The Prince Ding Mansion wanted to fight one against three, and the outcome was still unknown.
"Yes, Prince, calm down. We don't have to be afraid of Mo Xiuyao! "Many people thought so, and the generals all rubbed their palms together. It was as if they had completely forgotten the scene of being beaten to a pulp by the Mohist army a few years ago.
Lei Zhenting sneered, "Send troops to help Da Chu State? Hmph! Mo Xiuyao did send troops, but not to help Da Chu State, but to attack Xi Ling! "
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
After his initial anger subsided, Lei Zhenting also calmed down. He said in a low voice, "Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Xi Ling. They have already broken through, and the hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the border were caught off guard and fled! Trash! Hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't even last two days! " It was impossible for Lei Zhenting to not be on guard against Mo Xiuyao. Even during normal times, he kept a close eye on the Mohist army, much less during wartime. So even when he led the entire country to attack Da Chu State, he didn't forget to station hundreds of thousands of troops at the northwest border. But he didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't even last two days under Mo Xiuyao's hands!
"Mo Xiuyao clearly promised not to interfere?! Now that he's publicly breaking the agreement, he's really despicable! "
Lei Zhenting sneered, "Despicable? The so-called agreement is only valid if one is willing to abide by it. If one isn't willing to abide by it, then it's just a piece of paper. Moreover … Mo Xiuyao promised not to interfere in the war between Eastern Chu and Xi Ling. "He really hadn't interfered in the war between the two countries. He had directly sent troops to attack Xi Ling.
"Prince, this subordinate is willing to lead troops to reinforce the border!" Someone requested.
Lei Zhenting closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Mo Xiuyao only brought four hundred thousand troops into Xi Ling. There are also hundreds of thousands of troops guarding Xi Ling's border."
Everyone was shocked, "Mo Xiuyao wants to prevent us from returning to reinforce Xi Ling?"
"That's right. The general guarding Xi Ling's border is Zhang Qilan of the Mohist army. Although he isn't that old, he's a veteran of the Mohist army. If our entire army returns, he naturally can't stop us, but he can delay us for a while. Most importantly, once we retreat, it's hard to guarantee that the Eastern Chu soldiers won't take the opportunity to pursue. At that time, we'll be attacked from both sides, "Lei Zhenting said indifferently. His face seemed to have aged several years in an instant, becoming gloomy and dim. What he didn't say was that even if they successfully returned to stop the Mohist army, everything they had done in the past two months in Eastern Chu would have been for naught. Although the Eastern Chu soldiers weren't brave enough, they weren't immovable clay figurines. In the past two months, Xi Ling's soldiers had suffered many casualties. If they returned without accomplishing anything and even put Xi Ling in danger, then his position as Prince Regent would come to an end, no matter how powerful he was.
Only now did Lei Zhenting understand that he had been completely played by Mo Xiuyao. He even suspected that Mo Xiuyao had been biding his time these past few years in order to wait for him to attack the Da Chu State. Because Mo Xiuyao himself couldn't attack the Da Chu State no matter what.
