The Black Cloud Cavalry swept through the entire battlefield like a black whirlwind. Old General Yuan Pei, whose hair and beard were all white, was still vigorous despite his age. He personally led his troops over on his warhorse. Seeing that Ye Li was safe and sound, he clearly let out a sigh of relief.
"This general greets the princess!"
Ye Li hurriedly reached out to support Yuan Pei who was about to kneel down. She smiled and said, "Old General, there is no need to be so courteous. It's all thanks to you that you felt it." Yuan Pei stood up and said with a smile, "This general is only leading the troops to provide support. Princess, you have been bitterly guarding Spirit Vulture Mountain these past few days. This general admires you. "
Seeing the old general's serious expression, Ye Li couldn't help but smile and say, "Let's wait until this battle is over before we praise each other." Yuan Pei also couldn't help but smile. He looked towards Helian Peng who was still fighting with Han Mingyue. His expression changed as he said, "That kid is Helian Zhen's son? He truly has some guts! "
The Mohist army's hatred for Helian Zhen far exceeded anyone else's. Since Helian Peng was Helian Zhen's son, he naturally couldn't avoid being implicated. Ye Li smiled and said, "He really is Helian Zhen's adopted son."
Yuan Pei nodded and said, "Very good. Back then, this old man didn't have the opportunity to meet Helian Zhen. Today, I'll capture his son and see what he has to say."
Helian Peng and Han Mingyue were fighting. Han Mingyue's expression was relaxed and casual. He didn't have any thoughts of winning, so he naturally wasn't in a rush. Meanwhile, Helian Peng saw that he and Han Mingyue couldn't determine a victor in a short amount of time and was secretly anxious. However, Han Mingyue's martial arts weren't something that he could fight and leave as he wished. When the Black Cloud Cavalry arrived in front of him, Helian Peng knew that the situation was hopeless. No matter how unwilling he was, he knew that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to. Steeling his heart, he used all his strength to slash at Han Mingyue several times. Such a desperate posture made Han Mingyue somewhat flustered for a moment. Only then did Helian Peng take the opportunity to shake off Han Mingyue and retreat into the distance.
"Princess Ding, I'll have a taste of Princess Ding's brilliant moves in the future!" Landing on a horse, Helian Peng lifted the reins and galloped north. The Northern Tribes soldiers who were fighting with the Mohist army also retreated when they saw that their commander had left.
When Yuan Pei saw this, he wanted to command his troops to chase after them, but he was stopped by Ye Li. "Helian Peng has at least a hundred thousand troops under his command. There's no need to chase them too quickly. He Su and the others should be back by now. "
When Yuan Pei heard Ye Li's words, he had no choice but to stop. He still had the heavy responsibility of guarding Feihong Pass and could not spend his time fighting with Helian Peng.
Helian Peng brought the remaining troops and retreated, but on the way, he was intercepted by He Su, who had just returned from taking Hui City to reinforce Spirit Vulture Mountain. Behind them, Ye Li, who had reorganized her troops, chased after them. Under the pincer attack, Helian Peng suffered a great loss. In the end, he could only bring the remaining troops back to the Northern Tribes camp.
After defeating Helian Peng, Ye Li left Zhou Min behind to guard the West Army, while she brought He Su and Sun Yaowu back to the Mohist army camp.
In the Northern Tribes camp, Yelu Ye glared at Helian Peng, who was kneeling in the middle of the tent. He was enraged. "You brought back only a few hundred thousand men for I? Helian Peng, you're really something! You dare to disobey I's orders?! Who do you think you are? " Yelu Ye was angry not only because Helian Peng's men had suffered heavy losses, but also because the Northern Tribes camp had suffered more losses than Helian Peng. However, Helian Peng's disobedience had given Yelu Ye a good excuse to vent his anger. Hence, the first thing Helian Peng did when he returned was to be scolded by Yelu Ye. No commander-in-chief would like such reckless subordinates.
Helian Zhen's expression was also ugly. Helian Peng was his adopted son and was taught by him. Yelu Ye scolding Helian Peng in front of him was a slap to Helian Zhen's face, but this time, it was Helian Peng's fault. Even if Helian Zhen wanted to plead, he could not say anything.
After Yelu Ye finished venting, Helian Zhen said, "Seventh Highness, the Mohist army is at its peak now. It's useless for us to vent our anger here." In the past few days, the Mohist army had been like a hot knife through butter. The Northern Tribes army had been forced to retreat more than two hundred miles. If not, Yelu Ye would not have been in such a hurry to call Helian Peng's army back. Who knew that Helian Peng would disobey orders and cause more than two hundred thousand soldiers to die in Spirit Vulture Mountain.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Yelu Ye suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice.
Helian Zhen did not know what to do. In the past, Helian Zhen was able to defeat the Mohist army mostly because he had obtained the Mohist army's map first. However, the Mohist army now was not the Mohist army of ten years ago. There was also no retarded Chu Emperor who could give them a map to stab the Mohist army in the back.
After thinking for a long time, Helian Zhen said in a low voice, "The Mohist army's achievements are outstanding. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take them down alone. We need a partner. "
"Partner?" Yelu Ye frowned. "Who can we partner with now? The north has been destroyed, and the Western Tomb. Mo Jingli is eyeing the south. I'm afraid that Lei Zhenting will not fight the Mohist army in the short term. "
Helian Zhen said in a low voice, "Then we'll pull the Western Tomb and the Da Chu State together. Lei Zhenting will know that once the Northern Tribes are finished, the Western Tomb will be the next to face the Mohist army. If we can destroy the Mohist army first, he will definitely agree. "
Hearing this, Yelu Ye could not help but think. After a while, he asked, "Even so, what should we do about Mo Jingli? Once Lei Zhenting and the Mohist army fight, Mo Jingli will definitely cross the Yun Lan River and attack the Western Tomb. At that time, all our efforts will be for naught. "
Helian Peng said, "The enmity between Mo Jingli and Mo Xiuyao is no less than ours. If we can persuade him, we can just give him some benefits after destroying the Mohist army. "Hearing Helian Peng's words, Yelu Ye was also somewhat moved. He had met Mo Jingli a few times and naturally had some understanding of him. He had great ambitions but was short-sighted and his abilities were average. If they could give him enough benefits, he might really be able to join hands with them to deal with Mo Xiuyao. However, the benefits that they could give Mo Jingli must come from Lei Zhenting. Therefore, they needed someone who could persuade Jhennam Of Gojoseon to help Lei Zhenting. However, Lei Zhenting was not as easy to deal with as Mo Jingli.
"Uncle, do you have anyone in mind who can persuade Lei Zhenting?" There were not many people in the Northern Tribes who were good at talking. At this moment, Yelu Ye could not think of anyone to send to persuade Lei Zhenting.
Helian Zhen smiled and said, "I am willing to go personally."
Yelu Ye frowned slightly and looked at Helian Zhen with worry in his eyes. After so many years, Yelu Ye gradually felt that this uncle of his was no longer like the Winged Cavalry General who dominated the Northern Tribes. On the contrary, he was gradually becoming more like a politician of the Central Plains. Although he hated Mo Xiuyao to the bone, he seemed to have given up on the idea of defeating Mo Xiuyao fair and square on the battlefield. At this moment, Yelu Ye did not know whether this was good or bad.
