Thinking about it, he really didn't have any suitable subordinates. Yelu Ye nodded. "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Uncle." Helian Zhen smiled. "Rest assured, Your Highness, I won't disappoint Your Highness' expectations. After I leave, the battle with the Mohist army will be as big as possible. If we can't fight, then we'll just have to defend. Once the Xiling and Da Chu State armies move, the pressure on Your Highness will immediately lessen. "
Yelu Ye nodded. "I understand."
Helian Zhen glanced at Helian Peng, who was still kneeling on the ground. He said hesitantly, "Helian Peng …" Yelu Ye didn't like Helian Peng, so he didn't tell him to get up. Helian Peng could only continue to kneel.
"Get up." Yelu Ye said indifferently. "Go back to your tent and stay there. I'll see what I can tell him to do later."
Helian Zhen also knew that it was useless to say more. He could only nod. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."
Helian Peng stood up. "Thank you, Your Highness." Yelu Ye snorted, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Leaving the tent and returning to Helian Zhen's tent, Helian Peng knelt down again. "Father, please punish me." Helian Zhen looked at him coldly for a long time before finally asking, "Did I tell you that Spirit Vulture Mountain only needed to be defended? Who told you to fight to the death with Princess Ding? "
Helian Peng lowered his head in silence.
Helian Zhen stared at him and said coldly, "His Highness summoned you back. With your intelligence, how could you not see that it was my intention? You actually dared to disobey orders! Helian, I've always had high hopes for you, but ever since you left for battle, you've really disappointed me. "
Helian Peng was speechless. Not only was Helian Zhen disappointed in him, even Helian Peng was disappointed in himself. He never thought that he would actually lose to Princess Ding, and lose so miserably.
Although Helian Peng was born in the Northern Tribes and was an orphan adopted by Helian Zhen, he was apprenticed to Murong Xiong, the number one master of the Central Plains. He had been diligently studying martial arts and Central Plains culture. He had always felt that he was different from the people of the Central Plains who called him a barbarian. This kind of thinking did not change even when he followed his adoptive father to the battlefield and served under the Seventh Prince. He even vaguely looked down on the high and mighty Seventh Prince. However, after this defeat, he understood that the Northern Tribes weren't as stupid and reckless as he thought. In fact, they weren't any worse than him. At the very least, on the battlefield of the Northern Tribes, other than the main camp that was Prince Ding's enemy, the Northern Tribes had suffered the worst defeat among the other troops. It was only at this moment that Helian Peng truly calmed down and put himself in the position of a general to consider the problem. It was a pity that he had paid the price of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Northern Tribes soldiers.
Seeing the defeated expression on Helian Peng's face, Helian Zhen sighed and said, "Get up. You can't be blamed for everything that happened this time. You're not the first person to be defeated by Princess Ding. This is your first time on the battlefield, so it's inevitable that you'll overlook some things. "As long as one was a man, it was inevitable that they would have the mentality of a male supremacy. Especially in this era, even if Ye Li's name shook the world, no matter how many people talked about how powerful Princess Ding was. Even her enemies knew that she wasn't a simple person, but they still underestimated her when they were dealing with her. It wasn't that they were arrogant or careless, but this was the inherent weakness of men in this era. They were too used to seeing women as weak and dependent on men. Even if there were a few powerful ones, there was a limit to how powerful they could be.
Helian Peng stood up and said with some shame, "Father, please forgive me. I won't make such a mistake again."
Helian Zhen nodded and said, "Father raised you up, taught you how to march and fight, and helped you learn martial arts from a master of the Central Plains. It was all for the sake of the day when you can defeat Mo Xiuyao on behalf of Father, and also for yourself to achieve a great achievement. Don't disappoint Father."
Helian Peng nodded and looked at Helian Zhen with some worry, "Father, do you really plan to go to the Western Hill and persuade Lei Zhenting to form an alliance with Mo Jingli and the Northern Tribes?" Helian Zhen nodded and sighed, "There's no hope of defeating the Mohist army with just the strength of the Northern Tribes. More importantly, once we lose, it won't be as simple as retreating from the Central Plains. I'm afraid that when we return to the Royal House of the Northern Tribes, the Helian Family and the Seventh Prince will no longer have a place to stand. Therefore, this battle can only be won and not lost. No matter what, we have to persuade Lei Zhenting to attack the Prince Ding Mansion. "
"I'm afraid Lei Zhenting won't be so easy to persuade." Helian Peng said. To persuade Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli at the same time, Lei Zhenting had to give up a portion of the benefits that he had already obtained to Mo Jingli. How could Lei Zhenting so easily agree to give up what he already had in his hands in exchange for something that was still illusory in the future?
"Don't worry, I'm afraid that Lei Zhenting himself is also anxious to deal with the Prince Ding Mansion." Helian Zhen smiled and said, "Lei Zhenting isn't young anymore, but his son, Lei Tengfeng, doesn't have his father's great talent and bold vision. If something happens to Lei Zhenting in the future, the Prince Ding Mansion's first target will be the Western Hill. Rather than that, Lei Zhenting will definitely choose to strike first. But the Da Chu State and Mo Jingli have become his worries. As long as we resolve this worry for him, he will naturally agree to attack. "
Helian Peng was silent for a while before he raised his hands and said, "Father is farsighted, I am not as good as you."
Helian Zhen patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile, "Father needs to pack and prepare to leave. You go."
"I will leave."
In the Mohist army camp, Prince Ding, who had finally waited for his beloved wife to return, was not able to enjoy the endless fortune of having a beautiful wife in his arms as he wished. He could only look pitifully at his beloved wife who was looking at him with an indifferent expression, his face full of grievance.
"Li Li, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy? "Prince Ding carefully looked at Wang Fei and asked softly. Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the tent. Otherwise, the jaws of the Mohist army who did not know His Highness Prince Ding's true colors would drop. Even though he asked this, Mo Xiuyao was very smart. How could he not know why Li Li was acting like this? As he looked at Ye Li, he quickly calculated in his mind who dared to ruin his plans.
Ye Li raised her eyes and looked at him coolly. She said slowly, "Prince is overthinking. Who can make me unhappy?"
"Li Li …" Finally unable to resist, Mo Xiuyao leapt over and tightly hugged Ye Li's waist. His chin rubbed against her shoulder. "Li, I was wrong …" Ye Li finally looked at him seriously and asked coolly, "What did Prince do wrong?"
"I should not have run to the Northern Militant Camp alone," Mo Xiuyao hurriedly said as he glanced at Ye Li's expression.
It would have been better if he did not mention it. Once he did, Ye Li's expression became even uglier. She laughed coldly and said, "Prince Ding's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Of course, there is no place he cannot go. What wrong is this? Prince, why did you hide it from me? If I knew earlier, I would have cheered for Prince. "Even the concubine had come out. It seemed that she was really angry. Mo Xiuyao complained inside. Prince Ding was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of his beloved wife being angry. Feng Zhiyao always mocked him for being henpecked. That was true, but he was happy to endure it.
