In the Chu Army's West Army camp, Zhao Lian and Lei Tengfeng sat opposite each other with bitter smiles. Mu Yang and Gao Ming's troops were ambushed by the Mohist army at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the Chu Army lost tens of thousands of troops. Now, the two finally understood that the events of the past few days were all part of the Prince Ding Mansion's scheme. Because of this, they actually lost the most resourceful old Marquis Muyang and the most promising rising star of the Chu army.
The Prince Ding Mansion's methods were truly frightening.
Lei Tengfeng lowered his eyes and said, "Now that we have removed the Marquis Muyang, I'm afraid … the Mohist army's next target will be you and me. General Zhao, you must be extremely careful of Lu Jinxian's army. "Lei Tengfeng knew that Lu Jinxian's army must be very anxious to meet up with Yun Ting on the other side. However, Lu Jinxian was not the only one who was in a hurry. Lei Tengfeng was also in a hurry. In the West, news came from his father and Mo Xiuyao that the battle was not going well.
Zhao Lian nodded solemnly and said, "Lei Shizi is right." Although the confrontation with Lu Jinxian these past few days made Zhao Lian feel that his eyes were wide open, what made him very depressed was that his military strength was clearly above Lu Jinxian's, but he was still suppressed to the point that he could not display his full strength. Zhao Lian had to admit that there was a gap between him and Lu Jinxian. However, this was already the last line of defense before Lu Jinxian's army left Cold Valley Pass. No matter what, he had to stop them.
Hearing that Zhao Lian wanted to use the tactic of delaying, Lei Tengfeng's eyes flashed and he did not say anything more.
When he returned to his tent, a guard immediately delivered the battle report of the Xiling Army. Although they were nearly a thousand li away, the battle report of the Xiling Army and the Mohist army was delivered to Lei Tengfeng without missing a single day. Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Lei Tengfeng sat down and pressed his tired forehead, asking, "Did father have any instructions?" Originally, he could have brought hundreds of thousands of Xiling Army here in secret and easily set up a trap. However, the thing in Mo Jingli's hands was too important. he could only expose his military strength in exchange for that list. Compared to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Lord of Zhennan's Mansion needed a hidden chess piece that could turn the situation around at a critical moment.
The guard said in a deep voice, "The Prince said that Prince did not do anything wrong. However … we still need to retreat, we must withdraw from the current stalemate as soon as possible. The battle in the west is not good for Xiling. The Prince suspects that Mo Xiuyao sent an army of nearly two hundred thousand people to go around our back. Prince, please rush to Yuming Pass, which is three hundred li west of Hangu Pass, within half a month to stop this army. "
Lei Tengfeng was stunned and said in a deep voice, "Two hundred thousand people? How can the Mohist army have so many people? " The total strength of the Mohist army was less than a million. Previously, they had wiped out millions of troops, so the Mohist army should have lost at least two hundred thousand people. Even if the Mohist army did not lose a single soldier, and with the troops stationed in various places, it was impossible for the Mohist army to send another two hundred thousand people to attack the Xiling Army from the rear.
The guard said, "Prince, you forgot that the Prince Ding Mansion's military service system is different from other countries. According to the Prince's estimation, if Prince Ding is willing, he can at most mobilize a million well-trained soldiers within a month, and another two million recruits within three months. " Currently, the Prince Ding Mansion's area of control could be said to be the top of all countries. They had just defeated the Northern Tribes, and the morale of the Prince Ding Mansion was high. If Prince Ding wanted to recruit soldiers, it could not be easier.
Lei Tengfeng could not help but gasp. The most reassuring thing about the Mohist army was its military strength. The Mohist army's military strength had never been large, but they had forgotten to take into account the resources of the Prince Ding Mansion and the rallying power of the Mohist army. Once Mo Xiuyao wanted to expand his military strength, he would have an endless supply of soldiers to replenish it.
"The Prince also has a message for you." The guard said respectfully. Lei Tengfeng looked at him. The guard said in a low voice, "The Prince said that you don't have to worry too much about Mo Jingli. He can't win against Princess Ding. Prince, please leave as soon as possible. "
Lei Tengfeng was stunned for a moment. Only then did he understand his father's intentions. His father had never intended to work with Mo Jingli. From the beginning, his father had never thought highly of Mo Jingli. The reason why he had made such an arrangement and formed an alliance with Mo Jingli was to use Mo Jingli to restrain Ye Li. After all, one Mo Xiuyao was already very difficult to deal with. If Ye Li was added to the mix … Even the Zhennan Palace might not be able to handle it. Once his goal was achieved, Mo Jingli would be useless. Whether Mo Jingli won or lost, it didn't matter to the Zhennan Palace. If Zhennan Palace won against the Prince Ding Mansion, then it would be best if Mo Jingli lost. After that, Zhennan Palace would be the biggest winner. If Zhennan Palace lost, then Mo Jingli couldn't be left alive. He would become a huge threat to Zhennan Palace.
After thinking for a moment, Lei Tengfeng raised his head and said, "I understand. Go back and report to my father. I will leave this battlefield as soon as possible. Tell my father to take care of himself. "The guard nodded and respectfully left." Your subordinate will take his leave. "
In the tent, Lei Tengfeng was silent for a long time. Then he said, "Come."
A man who looked like a guard appeared at the door. "Crown Prince."
"Send a letter to Princess Ding for me. I want to talk to her," Lei Tengfeng said.
A trace of surprise flashed through the guard's eyes, but he still replied respectfully, "Your subordinate obeys."
About ten miles away from the camps of the two armies, Ye Li was sitting by a small stream. She was leisurely watching the stream flow by. Her expression was calm. On the grass by the stream, new green shoots had sprouted from the withered yellow weeds. It added a trace of warmth and hope to the desolate scene. Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing stood side by side not far behind Ye Li. They were both thinking about their own matters.
Suddenly, Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing looked at the forest behind them. Qin Feng said, "Crown Prince Lei, since you're here, why don't you come out and meet us?"
"Princess Ding's side is indeed filled with experts. I am impressed." Lei Tengfeng walked out of the forest and said with a smile. Ye Li stood up. She turned around and said with a smile, "Crown Prince Lei is also a rare expert. Unlike Ye Li, who doesn't have any skills and can only bring a few people with her to avoid any accidents." Lei Tengfeng's mouth twitched. If this woman in front of him didn't have any skills, then there weren't many people in the world who could. At the same time, Lei Tengfeng was also surprised by Ye Li's caution. Lei Tengfeng rarely fought and there were not many people in the world who understood the depth of his skills. But Ye Li did not forget that he had a father who was one of the top four experts in the world. Lei Tengfeng's talent was not bad. As long as there were no accidents, Lei Tengfeng's martial arts would not be bad.
"Wang Fei is joking. When encountering Wang Fei … it is always other people who have accidents," Lei Tengfeng said with a faint smile.
Ye Li did not care about his hidden mockery. She smiled faintly and said, "Now that the two armies are at war, Crown Prince Lei has privately requested to see Ye Li. Is it to mock Ye Li?"
Lei Tengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Wang Fei is straightforward. This shizi will not be long-winded. This one knows that Wang Fei is in a hurry to go to Cold Valley Pass to meet with General Yun Ting, right? " Ye Li nodded slightly. Some things on the battlefield could be hidden, but some things could not be hidden from others. At least, the current movements of the Mohist army could not be hidden from people like Lei Tengfeng.
