In the Northern Tribes camp, Yelu Ye looked down at the generals with a dark expression and said in a low voice, "Mo Xiuyao has taken two cities in a short five days. What countermeasures do you have?" Helian Zhen said, "I didn't expect that Mo Xiuyao would actually ignore Lei Zhenting, this great enemy, and wholeheartedly attack my army. In this old man's opinion, Mo Xiuyao most likely intends to deal with my Northern Tribes with all his might before turning to deal with the Western Tomb and Great Chu. "
Yelu Ye looked at Helian Zhen and said coldly, "In other words, General Helian's plan to ally with Xiling and Da Chu State has completely failed?" Helian Zhen smiled bitterly. Yelu Ye called him uncle most of the time, but now he called him General Helian. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with him. Helian Zhen sighed helplessly. "If Mo Jingli had not delayed the attack, it would have been more than this. But now … the plan to attack the Prince Ding Mansion has not failed. It is just that the Northern Tribes did not gain any benefits. "
In other words, harming others without benefiting oneself. The Prince Ding Mansion indeed had to face the siege of Xiling and Da Chu State. But who would have thought that Mo Xiuyao would not care that the loss of Ruichang would affect Feihong Pass, Acropolis, and even the northwest protected by the Mohist army? He wanted to deal with the Northern Tribes first.
The Northern Tribes were already at odds with the Mohist army, and war could break out at any moment. The current situation did not cause any losses to the Northern Tribes. It was just that there were no benefits to being busy for a few months.
"Princess Ding has gone to Jiangnan these two months." Helian Peng, who was sitting below Helian Zhen, suddenly said.
Because of the defeat last time, Yelu Ye did not like Helian Peng. However, Helian Peng seemed to have changed a lot in these few months. He did not care about Yelu Ye's attitude at all. He only did his own things silently and rarely spoke. This changed Yelu Ye's impression of him slightly. Hearing him suddenly speak, Yelu Ye frowned and said, "Ye Li went to Jiangnan? How do you know? "
Helian Peng remained silent, his eyes indifferent as he stared at Yelu Ye. He had been defeated by Ye Li and regarded it as the greatest humiliation of his life. Naturally, he would pay close attention to Ye Li. It was just that after those few lessons, he no longer acted impulsively. Moreover, Ye Li's heart wasn't that easy to find out. This was something that Helian Peng had slowly guessed over the past few days based on various clues.
Helian Peng lowered his gaze, saying, "Father should know … that Zhennan Palace and the Prince Ding Mansion joined hands to exterminate Infinite Boundless Mountain."
Helian Zhen nodded. Such a big thing happened not long before he went to Jiangnan, so Helian Zhen naturally knew. Helian Peng said, "However, after Infinite Boundless Mountain was exterminated, Young Master Qingchen went missing for a period of time. However, Glass City did not send anyone to deal with this matter. During this time, Ye Li has not appeared in front of anyone, so he must have gone to Jiangnan. "
A trace of anger flashed in Yelu Ye's eyes as he said in a low voice, "It's Ye Li again messing up I's matters! Mo Jingli's sudden delay in dispatching troops has something to do with Ye Li. "
Helian Peng nodded, saying, "It should be so. However … even if Ye Li didn't go, I'm afraid that the matter of the three countries forming an alliance wouldn't be so easily resolved. If Young Master Qingchen hadn't gone missing … the person who dealt with this matter back then should have been Young Master Qingchen. "
Everyone was silent. Although that was the case, Young Master Qingchen was still on the surface after all. It was important to guard against him. And now, they didn't even know what Ye Li had done in Jiangnan.
Helian Peng said, "Prince Ding probably wants to drive our Northern Tribes out of the pass before the Da Chu State sends troops. At that time, he can focus on dealing with Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli."
Yelu Ye laughed coldly, saying, "Wanting to drive our Northern Tribes out of the pass, how could it be so easy! You guys tell us how to deal with Mo Xiuyao. "
Everyone looked at each other. Yelu Ye frowned and said, "Helian Peng, tell us."
Helian Peng said in a low voice, "Our Northern Tribes army is good at fighting face-to-face. Our cavalry is even better at long-distance raids, but we are not good at defending a city." Now that the Mohist army had the initiative, in the words of the people of the Central Plains, they were using their weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. Failure was something that could be expected.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Yelu Ye asked.
Helian Peng said, "In my opinion, we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses." In the entire Northern Tribes, other than the palace, there were no decent cities. The soldiers of the Northern Tribes naturally didn't need to defend a city. Now that they had suddenly switched from offense to defense, they naturally had their hands and feet tied.
Yelu Ye thought for a moment and looked at Helian Zhen, "Uncle, what do you think?"
Helian Zhen nodded and said, "Peng 'er's words are reasonable. I am also serious. Our army is at a disadvantage in defending a city. Why don't we take the initiative and attack? In terms of cavalry, even if the Northern Tribes can't win against the Prince Ding Mansion, they are at least on par. But … … we have more cavalry than the Black Cloud Cavalry. " Although the Black Cloud Cavalry was once known as the most elite force of the Mohist army, they were not the main force of the Mohist army. The main force of the Mohist army was still made up of normal infantry. Because the terrain of Da Chu State was complicated, cavalry could not be used at all. But the Northern Tribes was a vast grassland. Their soldiers were mainly cavalry. If they really fought, the Black Cloud Cavalry would definitely not have the upper hand.
Yelu Ye frowned and looked at Helian Zhen and the others, saying, "I agree with Uncle and General Helian's judgment. We can't retreat anymore. The news that came from the palace shows that Father is already very dissatisfied with I's lack of progress in the past half a year. We even lost a lot of the land that we originally obtained. If we lose again, I'm afraid that Father will not agree to send more troops to us. "
The Northern Tribes had a vast territory but sparsely populated. It was not as easy to gather troops as the Central Plains. The Northern Tribes had lost a lot of troops this time, which made the Royal House of the Northern Tribes very dissatisfied. It also gave Yelu Hong a chance to attack them.
"I understand." Everyone stood up and said.
Yelu Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good, this time Uncle and General Helian will lead the troops. Helian Peng, don't disappoint I again. "
Helian Peng said in a low voice, "I understand. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
