Long Yang and Zhu Yan couldn't help but worry about Mo Xiuyao's intentions. After receiving the news from Lei Tengfeng that many troops of the Mohist army had secretly left, their worries became a reality. Zhu Yan sat in the chair and was silent for a long time. He sighed and said, "Well, it's really the Mohist army!"
Looking at the two old generals' expressions, Lei Tengfeng also knew that things had changed. He asked worriedly, "Old General, what happened?"
Zhu Yan and Long Yang looked at each other and finally told him what had happened. At this time, it didn't make any sense to hide this kind of thing. After listening to Long Yang and Zhu Yan, Lei Tengfeng was also shocked. "General Zhu, you mean … you still have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in your hands!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Long Yang next to him with surprise. In the past 20 years, the Lord of Zhennan's Mansion had been carefully monitoring Zhu Yan, who lived in Bian City. In the past 20 years, he had never contacted his former subordinates, and even in Bian City, he rarely went out. Lei Tengfeng was almost completely at ease with him, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually secretly holding onto an army of more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses looked insignificant in West-Hill's total military strength of nearly three million and could be increased at any time. But if used on the edge of a knife, it was very terrible. For example, in the past 20 years, his father had come to Bian City several times. If Zhu Yan suddenly attacked at that time … Lei Tengfeng's heart trembled and he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He finally understood why his father had always been on guard against these old generals. It was said that the civil officials and powerful officials disrupted the government, but the ones who could really change the dynasty and usurp the throne were generally military generals. Without military power, everything was just empty talk.
As if he understood what Lei Tengfeng was thinking, Long Yang snorted and said, "This elite army was personally given to Zhu Yan by the late Emperor. Even the current Emperor has no right to take it back. Why should Zhennan Palace know? What's more … this elite troop was originally prepared to guard against the Prince Ding Mansion. "
Lei Tengfeng remained silent. He believed Long Yang's words. However, there were some things that couldn't be solved just by believing. But now was not the time to discuss this matter. "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers … … What's the use of fighting against the Mohist army?"
"Idiot!" Zhu Yan snorted and said, "The late emperor was wise and farsighted. He knew that the Mohist army was the biggest enemy of the West-Hill. Therefore, he had long prepared a bargaining chip to deal with the Mohist army. If not for the sudden death of the late Emperor, how could he have … There was also Lei Zhenting. Back then, the Prince Ding Mansion suffered a great loss. In order to eliminate his dissidents, he had wasted a great opportunity. It was only because the snake was not killed that the Mo Family's army arrived at the city gates today! "
Lei Tengfeng was speechless. When the Mohist army suffered a great loss and Mo Xiuyao was seriously injured and dying, it was the time when the royalists in the West-Hill were the most active. In order to attack these people, his father gave up a great opportunity to attack the Da Chu State. However, at that time, who really believed that Mo Xiuyao could stand up again? Even if they didn't participate in the poisoning of Mo Xiuyao, it didn't mean that they didn't know anything.
"Old General, what should we do now?" Lei Tengfeng saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly turned the topic back and asked. Zhu Yan sighed and said, "Old Long, you help the Crown Prince to defend the city. I'll go and meet the famous Prince Ding."
"Zhu Yan …" Long Yang frowned. He was a few years older than Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan was not young either. It was too dangerous to go out of the city in person. Zhu Yan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I can still move. You're right. I can't just watch Mo Xiuyao devour my hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers! " Long Yang also knew that this was the best choice. He sighed and said, "Well, you be careful. I'll hold back some of the Mohist army for you in the city."
"Take care!"
"Take care." The two white-haired old men looked at each other and solemnly said goodbye. Zhu Yan turned and left. His slightly trembling body seemed to straighten up in an instant. Long Yang looked at his friend's figure and closed his eyes. He told Lei Tengfeng beside him, "Go and get ready. We'll go out of the city to fight!"
It was already the afternoon of the third day. The Mohist army under the city wall kept shouting and cursing. The West-Hill defenders on the city wall also did not stay idle. They also unceremoniously returned the curses. The two countries came from the same origin and there were no cultural differences. There was no obstacle in cursing. If they were cursing with Nanzhao and Beirong, most of the people would not understand.
In front of the army, Yun Ting and Chen Yun rode side by side, looking at the distant city tower. Yun Ting said anxiously, "Aren't Long Yang and Zhu Yan the famous generals of West-Hill? Why are they hiding like turtles? "Chen Yun shrugged helplessly. How would he know?
"Don't tell me they want to stall for time? Stall for time until Lei Zhenting comes back to help? "Chen Yun said with some uncertainty.
"Don't joke. When Lei Zhenting arrives, it will be a month later at the earliest. " Yun Ting said. They only had three days. Now the three days were almost up and they had not even touched the edge of Bian City's city tower. In the past three days, they had tried all kinds of methods, such as strong attacks and sneak attacks. But they had to admit that it was reasonable for the old general to come out. They could not find a loophole in Bian City's defense. Such a blow made the young generals' faces more and more ugly day by day. At this time, Yun Ting's face was still green. In fact, if Yun Ting knew that not only him, but even his Prince's wife could not find a loophole in Bian City's defense, he would not be so depressed.
"Look, are they coming out?" Chen Yun pointed to the fluttering flag on the wall. Obviously, there were people and horses moving very quickly.
Yun Ting's eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared on his young face. "Zhu Yan! Brothers, continue to scold him! "
The Mohist army behind him once again loudly greeted Zhu Yan's eight generations of ancestors and relatives.
Long Yang led people to appear on the wall, squinting at the young man who was showing off under the city wall. He smiled and said, "Young man, tell me your name."
Yun Ting said proudly, "I am Yun Ting, the deputy general of the Eagle Army of the Mohist army's ninth division!"
Long Yang was stunned. Such an obviously different organization from the general army made him unable to determine Yun Ting's identity for a while. But from Yun Ting's age, he could guess a thing or two. Such a young and high-spirited young man, eighty percent could not be the general of an army. He looked at Yun Ting with a smile and said, "Where is the general of the Mohist army? Or is there no one in the Mohist army? "
Yun Ting was not happy. He looked up at the old man on the wall and said, "I am the general! It's just Bian City, I don't need to trouble others. I will let you see the ability of the Mohist army! "Long Yang was not angry, as if he was looking at an ignorant child. He smiled and said," What? Then let me see the ability of the young general of the Mohist army. And … I am not Zhu Yan. "
"Long Yang!" Yun Ting gnashed his teeth.
