"What? None of you have anything to say? "Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Your Majesty has his own decision. We will listen to Your Majesty's orders." All the generals said in unison.
Mo Jingli snorted. How could he not know what these people were thinking? He glanced at them and then looked behind Old Marquis Muyang. He said in a low voice, "Old Marquis Muyang, what do you think?"
Old Marquis Muyang quickly stepped forward and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think that if it's just Lu Jinxian's 400,000 troops, there's nothing to worry about. But … "
"But what?" Mo Jingli asked. Old Marquis Muyang said, "But there's still Lenghuai's 200,000 troops in the Chu capital. Lenghuai himself is also a rare talent. When the Northern Region's army was pressing on the border, Lenghuai guarded Zijing Pass alone for several months and prevented the Northern Region's million troops from taking a step past Zijing Pass. From this, it can be seen that this person cannot be underestimated. Other than that … … this official thinks … … that one of Prince Ding and Princess Ding might come over. At that time … "
"Lenghuai … Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li?" Mo Jingli played with the jade thumb ring in his hand and snorted, "Lenghuai is deeply indebted to the Emperor, but he betrayed the country and joined the Prince Ding Mansion. He deserves to be beheaded for his crimes! As for the Prince Ding Mansion … I'm afraid it's Ye Li who will come this time. She came at the right time … "
Hearing Mo Jingli's words, all the generals silently criticized in their hearts: Lenghuai guarded Zijing Pass alone. Not only did King Li not give any help, but he also embezzled Lenghuai's provisions. In the end, he even took away the provisions that should have been given to Lenghuai by Yuan Bao. If it wasn't for the Mohist army, Lenghuai's grave would be covered with tall grass. How could he say that he had received the Emperor's favor? Moreover, in order to protect the Chu capital, Lenghuai had lost a son. Mo Jingli's words were not very convincing.
However, Mo Jingli was the Emperor. Naturally, he had the final say. None of the generals dared to refute him. He just silently listened to his orders. Mo Jingli was displeased. He waved his hand and said lightly, "Senior Marquis Mu, Marquis Muyang, I'll leave Lu Jinxian to you. As for Princess Ding … I will personally deal with her! "Mu Yang and his son hurriedly cupped their hands and accepted the order." This general obeys. "
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon of West-Hill requests an audience," a soldier reported loudly outside the door. Mo Jingli frowned slightly. "Lei Tengfeng. What is he doing here?" The soldier replied, "Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon only said that he was ordered by Jhennam Of Gojoseon to have an important matter to discuss with Your Majesty."
"Let him in," Mo Jingli ordered.
After a while, Lei Tengfeng was brought in. He looked at the generals in the tent and Mo Jingli who was sitting high on the Dragon Throne. He smiled faintly and bowed. "This one is Lei Tengfeng. Greetings to Emperor Chu."
"Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon, please rise." Mo Jingli narrowed his eyes and sized up Lei Tengfeng in front of him. The current Lei Tengfeng was clearly much calmer than when he first met him in Nanzhao. Even though he was facing Mo Jingli who had already become the Emperor of the Da Chu State, he was still neither servile nor overbearing. He was calm and composed. Even rarer was that his gaze had become extremely calm and steady. This was something that Lei Tengfeng did not have back then.
Mo Jingli stared at Lei Tengfeng. After a while, he asked leisurely, "Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon of West-Hill, what brings you here?"
Lei Tengfeng smiled faintly. "Replying to Emperor Chu, Father heard that Emperor Chu has already led his troops to the front lines. He specially ordered Tengfeng to come and welcome you."
Hearing this, the old generals present couldn't help but look at Lei Tengfeng with some praise. Back when Prince Ding was getting married, Lei Tengfeng, as the Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon, had come to the Chu capital to attend the wedding. Although he was not arrogant, it was inevitable that people would feel that he was somewhat arrogant. But the current Lei Tengfeng was not only much calmer than ten years ago, his mentality was also much more peaceful. Jhennam Of Gojoseon definitely did not order him to welcome Mo Jingli, but it was rare that he could lower his head.
Obviously, Lei Tengfeng's words made Mo Jingli's mood somewhat better. His gaze toward Lei Tengfeng also became somewhat warmer. Mo Jingli nodded and smiled. "Jhennam Of Gojoseon is too polite. Crown Prince, please sit."
"Many thanks to Emperor Chu." Lei Tengfeng spoke and smiled naturally. There was no trace of dissatisfaction or awkwardness due to the fact that someone he looked down on in the past was now higher than him.
After giving his thanks, Lei Tengfeng sat down at the head of the table. After the guards served tea and left, Mo Jingli also dismissed the generals, leaving behind Marquis Muyang, his son, and a few of his trusted generals. Mo Jingli then asked, "I heard that Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon conquered Wei City in one fell swoop. I have yet to congratulate Crown Prince."
Lei Tengfeng smiled. "This one was just lucky. A few days ago, I was trapped by Marquis Nan and General Murong and almost lost my life. If it wasn't for Father's thorough arrangements, Lei Tengfeng would have already ceased to exist. This one does not dare to take the credit. "
Mo Jingli smiled faintly and didn't say much. "Crown Prince, what instructions does Jhennam Of Gojoseon have for you?"
Lei Tengfeng said, "Father instructed this one to listen to Emperor Chu's instructions. It's just that … on the way here, this one received news that Princess Ding and Ye Li have already joined Lu Jinxian's army. I'm afraid that they will arrive at the frontlines at the same time as Lu Jinxian. "
"This time, the Mohist army is being led by Ye Li?" Mo Jingli asked with a frown.
Lei Tengfeng shook his head. "No, according to this one's knowledge, Princess Ding is the military advisor."
Mo Jingli laughed coldly. "She really knows when to yield and when not. Many thanks for the news, Crown Prince. This one understands. "Lei Tengfeng frowned slightly." Does Prince Li have any countermeasures? "
Mo Jingli smiled. "Crown Prince doesn't need to worry. I have my own countermeasures. Crown Prince only needs to wait and see." Seeing that Mo Jingli had no intention to say more, Lei Tengfeng didn't continue. He smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, then this one will respectfully await the good news."
Mo Jingli smiled proudly. "Naturally." Seeing Mo Jingli's arrogant appearance in his bright yellow dragon robe, Lei Tengfeng looked down indifferently and his lips curved into an imperceptible sneer.
