On the official road in winter, the Mohist army was like a black dragon advancing quickly along the official road. The two people at the front were the commander in chief, Lu Jinxian, and Ye Li, who was dressed in white and had a white cloak draped over her shoulders.
Because Lu Jinxian was the commander in chief and Ye Li was only a strategist, the two of them rode side by side. This was to show Wang Fei's respect for the commander in chief, Lu Jinxian. Following behind the two of them were Zhuo Jing, Lin Han, Yun Ting, and Xu Qingfeng.
Lu Jinxian looked sideways at Ye Li and smiled, "Wang Fei, I'm afraid that Mo Jingli has already gathered his troops and is waiting for us ahead." Yun Ting curled his lips and said, "Mo Jingli has just ascended the throne. Isn't he waiting to take down the Mohist army's spirit?"
"But I don't know who will take down whose spirit when the time comes." Lin Han said with a righteous expression.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. Speaking of which, Mo Jingli really didn't have any outstanding military achievements. If he wanted to take down the Mohist army's spirit, he could do it from other places. On the battlefield, no one thought highly of Mo Jingli. Ye Li smiled, "It's good to have confidence, but don't let your guard down." Even though Mo Jingli didn't have any outstanding military achievements, it didn't mean that there weren't any capable people in Da Chu State's army.
Lu Jinxian nodded, "Wang Fei is right. Even though Marquis Muyang's character is somewhat questionable, his ability to lead an army and fight is indeed extraordinary." Marquis Muyang had been conferred the title of marquis because of his military achievements. Back then, he had also fought on the battlefield. Speaking of which, when Marquis Muyang had dominated the battlefield, Lu Jinxian hadn't yet become famous.
As they spoke, Lu Jinxian pulled on the reins and looked at the road ahead with a slight frown.
Ye Li asked in a low voice, "General Lü, what's wrong?"
Lu Jinxian said in a low voice, "We're about to leave the official road and turn into a mountain path. If I were the one leading the troops, there would definitely be an ambush ahead … "
Ye Li sized up the narrow path in front of her and asked in a deep voice, "General, are you sure?" Lu Jinxian nodded silently. Ye Li thought for a moment before looking at Lu Jinxian and saying, "General Lü is our army's commander-in-chief, so General Lü is our leader."
Lu Jinxian understood that the Princess Consort trusted him. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess. Order the entire army to set up camp nearby! "As the commander-in-chief, he was worried that he would be held back by others and be in a difficult position. However, even though Ye Li was the military advisor, her status was far above Lu Jinxian's. This also caused Lu Jinxian to report to Ye Li about everything. Many times, it would cause an unavoidable and severe impact. Ye Li's words were to tell Lu Jinxian that he was the current commander-in-chief of the Mohist army and that he could make all the decisions himself. Since Ye Li was the military advisor, she naturally had the responsibility to act as the military advisor.
The Mohist army had strict discipline. Even though the order came very suddenly, it didn't cause any chaos. After a while, the entire army set up camp not far from the official road and prepared to reorganize the troops.
In the large tent, Yun Ting took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Great General, this general is willing to be the vanguard and scout ahead."
Lu Jinxian smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "General Yun, don't be impatient." On the side, Zhuo Jing smiled and said, "General Yun, can't you see that Commander Xu isn't here?" Yun Ting finally realized that Xu Qingfeng, who had been with them the entire time, had disappeared without a trace. Xu Qingfeng was Qi Lin's detachment commander. Since he was here, it meant that Qi Lin was also here. It was much more convenient and safer to have Qi Lin scout ahead than to have him scout ahead.
Only then did Yun Ting sit down somewhat embarrassedly. Lu Jinxian looked at Yun Ting with a smile and said, "General Yun's bravery is a good thing. It seems that after so many years, our Mohist army has gained a few more great generals." It wasn't easy to find a great general who could truly command the three armies. Even in the Mohist army, which was famous for its bravery, only Lu Jinxian and Zhang Qilan could truly be called a great general. Unfortunately, the two of them had been silent for many years when the Mohist army was being suppressed and had missed the best time. Otherwise, their reputations wouldn't have been limited to where they were now. Now, Yun Ting, He Su, Chen Yun, Sun Yaowu, Zhou Min, and Fu Zhao under the Mohist army were still young, but they all had a bright future ahead of them. For example, Yun Ting wasn't even 30 years old. In terms of military achievements, he was already one of the top generals of the younger generation. He was a rising star general in the future.
Yun Ting was slightly embarrassed by Lu Jinxian's praise. He rubbed his head and looked at Ye Li. Ye Li smiled and said, "It is a good thing to bravely advance, but as a general, you need to change your temper."
"Many thanks for Wang Fei's teachings," Yun Ting said embarrassedly. He knew that his greatest weakness was that he occasionally acted impulsively. Because he was young and his personality, he didn't give people the feeling that he was as steady and reliable as Chen Yun and the others. This made Yun Ting feel very helpless. Every time he wanted to change, there was a saying that it was easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to change one's nature. How could one's personality be so easily changed? Ye Li didn't force this. Yun Ting was still young. Even though he was occasionally impulsive, he wasn't reckless. When he was a few years older and experienced more things, he would naturally become more steady.
Lu Jinxian smiled and said, "Wang Fei is too strict with General Yun. This old man has had nothing to do these years and has written down some of my thoughts. If General Yun doesn't mind, you can take a look. " Hearing this, Yun Ting couldn't help but pause. It had to be known that the thoughts and experiences of a general, especially a famous general, were treasures that couldn't be bought with money. Other than father, son, master, and disciple, no one else could read them.
Seeing Yun Ting in a daze, Ye Li coughed softly and bowed respectfully to Lu Jinxian. She said, "Yun Ting." Yun Ting finally came back to his senses. He was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Many thanks to General Lü. Yun Ting will definitely study seriously and not disappoint General's expectations."
Lu Jinxian laughed brightly and stood to help Yun Ting up. He said, "General Yun is too polite." To the side, Zhuo Jing looked at the two and said with a smile, "General Lü and General Yun hit it off so well. Why don't you accept General Yun as your student?"
Before Lu Jinxian could speak, Yun Ting had already knelt to Lu Jinxian. "This student greets Master and begs for Master's guidance." Lu Jinxian paused and tilted his head to look at Ye Li. Lu Jinxian was already over forty years old. Although he had a son, his son was not like his father. He liked literature and did not like martial arts. Now, his son was studying at Lishan Academy. Lu Jinxian was naturally willing to accept Yun Ting, a rising star of the Mohist army, as his disciple and pass on his life's knowledge and experience. Just the fact that he and Yun Ting, Ding Wang Fei's trusted aide and confidant had become master and disciple was enough to make Lv Jin Xian happy, not to mention that Yun Ting was someone who was very capable. However, Yun Ting was Princess Ding's trusted aide. Naturally, he had to consider Ye Li's opinion.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Could it be that General Lü dislikes Yun Ting's lack of talent and is unwilling to accept him?"
Only then did Lu Jinxian relax and smile happily. He bent over to help Yun Ting up and said with a smile, "Yun Ting does not need to be so courteous." Yun Ting understood that Lu Jinxian had agreed and was immediately overjoyed. "Many thanks, Master."
