Looking at his complicated expression that seemed to be both happy and sad, Qin Feng said with a smile, "General Sun, do not take it to heart. Wang Fei said before that Luo Zhou is easy to attack but hard to defend. From a military perspective, there is no value in its existence. No matter who it is, it is easy to break through. Therefore, the loss of Luo Zhou was not General's fault. "
Sun Yaowu leaned against the city wall. Hearing Qin Feng's words, he suddenly couldn't help but cry. In reality, how could he not know that the loss of Luo Zhou was fated? But as a general, because of his loss, countless people of Luo Zhou had died. Sun Yaowu did not know what other people thought, but he could not pass the barrier in his heart. If he had not encountered the Mohist army and Princess Ding, Sun Yaowu would have either died of depression and regret for the rest of his life, or become a bandit. It was also because of this that Sun Yaowu respected and trusted Ye Li. Not only because Ye Li had given him trust, but also because Ye Li had given him new hope and life.
Qin Feng looked calmly at Sun Yaowu and did not try to persuade him. Wang Fei was right. While Sun Yaowu did not care about small matters, he was a rare general with a conscience.
After waiting for Sun Yaowu to vent his accumulated emotions, Qin Feng went forward to pat his shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, get up if you've cried enough. The war has only just begun. "
Sun Yaowu was a little embarrassed to see a big man crying in front of others. Roughly wiping away his tears, Sun Yaowu forced himself to ignore Qin Feng's half-smile and said, "I, Old Sun, usually think that I am very daring, but isn't Wang Fei's plan too risky? If Helian Peng does not fall for it and does not come to save Luo Zhou, then Wang Fei will be in trouble. "
Qin Feng rubbed his chin and thought, "Wang Fei said that Helian Peng will definitely come."
"Why? Her Highness said that this place has no strategic significance at all, "Sun Yaowu said.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Even if that's the case, by standing in Luo State City, it's the same as stabbing a nail into Helian Peng's back. Moreover … the Princess Consort said that he couldn't afford to lose face like this. Therefore, he will definitely come. " From the very beginning, Helian Peng had repeatedly provoked Princess Ding, one could tell that he was an extremely prideful person. Furthermore, he could not tolerate his own failure. Therefore, he would never allow the Mohist army to occupy a piece of land in his territory. Especially when she had taken it back from him.
Sun Yaowu scratched his head and nodded. "That makes sense."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "General Sun should prepare to defend the city. Once the reinforcements from the Northern Tribes arrive, things will not be easy for us. " Sun Yaowu nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the Northern Tribes take Luo State City from my hands again."
The news of Luo State City being occupied by the Mohist army naturally reached Helian Peng's camp very quickly. The generals under him all said that they would immediately send out troops to take back Luo State City. These Northern Tribes soldiers could be said to be invincible ever since they entered the Central Plains. Even though they had not been able to advance much after encountering the Mohist army last year, overall, they had not suffered any losses. Especially the soldiers in the camp near Spirit Vulture Mountain. They had never encountered the main forces of the Mohist army before. Unknowingly, they began to have a feeling that the Mohist army was just so-so. At this moment, when they heard that the Luo State City that they had occupied had been silently attacked by the Mohist army, how could they bear it? Naturally, they all clamored to take back Luo State City.
Helian Peng was not in a hurry. Although the Mohist army's sudden attack on Luo State City had indeed surprised him, these few days of fighting with the Mohist army had made him much more cautious.
"If you want to take back Luo State City, we can do so at any time. However, why would Ye Li want to take over Luo State City now? Luo State City is still some distance away from Spirit Vulture Mountain. Even if she takes it over, she will not be able to link it with the place she is defending. Instead, she will need to eliminate more people to defend it. Logically speaking, Ye Li would not make such an unwise decision. "Helian Peng said in a low voice.
One of his deputies twitched his mouth in disdain and said, "That Princess Ding is just a woman, how can she know how to fight? However, no matter what, we cannot let the Mohist army look down on our Northern Tribes warriors. "
Helian Peng's eyes flashed as his lips curled into a cold smile and said, "Since that is the case, how about Deputy Cha lead the troops to take back Luo State City?"
The deputy immediately accepted the order and said, "This general guarantees that we will take back Luo State City before tomorrow morning."
Helian Peng declined to comment and said indifferently, "Wait until you take it back. When the time comes, this general will help you ask His Highness the Seventh Prince for a reward. " Although the deputy had a rough temperament, he could still hear the disapproval in Helian Peng's voice. He couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment before accepting the order and turning to leave.
After the deputy left, Helian Peng swept his gaze over the people below and said in a cold voice, "Immediately go and find out where Ye Li is!" The others were all startled. One of them stepped forward and asked, "General, are you suspecting that Princess Ding is attacking Luo State City because she is plotting something?" Although Helian Peng had just arrived not long ago and was directly ordered by Yelu Ye to take charge of Spirit Vulture Mountain's main camp, his ruthless and fierce methods made many of the officers revere him. No one dared to look down on him because he was still young and had never led an army before.
Helian Peng nodded and said, "That's right. Rashly attacking a place that isn't of much use isn't Ye Li's style. "
The other officers didn't agree. How could they know Princess Ding's style of conduct? However, Helian Peng's orders couldn't be discounted. Everyone hurriedly left to carry out the order.
"Plot? This consort is clearly plotting something. "Outside Spirit Vulture Mountain, Ye Li looked down at the distant mountains and rivers with a smile. Behind her stood Zhuo Jing and Lin Han, as well as Zhou Min, who was guarding Spirit Vulture Mountain.
Zhou Min asked curiously, "Princess, will Helian Peng really fall for it?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "This isn't a question of whether Helian Peng will fall for it. Even if he knows there's a problem … … he can only follow the path we've planned. Otherwise, he's prepared to give up the three cities near Spirit Vulture Mountain to us. "
Zhou Min was silent for a while. She frowned and said, "Princess has sent General Sun to take Luo Zhou City and General He to take Hui Yun City. Even if Helian Peng is willing to give up Luo Zhou, he definitely won't give up Hui Yun City. He will definitely send reinforcements there. But … … if he does that, Helian Peng will know that our army is empty. What if he … … "
Ye Li turned to look at Zhou Min. She sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then we can only rely on General Zhou." The Mohist army didn't have many soldiers, but it was a shortcoming. Counting them, the Spirit Vulture Mountain camp had about 30 soldiers. However, there were less than 100 thousand Mohist army elites. They were all remnants of the Da Chu State and He Su's soldiers. He Su's soldiers were considered good compared to the other generals of the Da Chu State. However, if it was one on one, they still couldn't be compared to the Northern Tribes. However, this couldn't be blamed on He Su.
