"If this one and General Zhao work together, is Princess confident that we can reach Cold Valley Pass in half a month?" Lei Tengfeng asked.
"No." Ye Li said frankly. Ending a battle quickly required the right time, place, and people. Most of the time, it was indispensable. Not every battle could be controlled. Otherwise, a battle would not have lasted for three to five years. Although they did not have the advantage in terms of military strength, both Ye Li and Lu Jinxian were confident that they could defeat Zhao Lian and Lei Tengfeng. But the problem was … … it would take a long time.
Lei Tengfeng was slightly surprised by Ye Li's honesty. However, he soon understood that Ye Li also knew the reason for his visit. Otherwise, she would not be so direct. He smiled bitterly and helplessly, "It seems that I can't hide it from Princess. This one plans to withdraw the army and leave immediately. Princess, please make things convenient for me. "
Ye Li smiled, "Making things convenient for others is also making things convenient for yourself. Lord Lei, please do as you wish. "
Lei Tengfeng looked at Ye Li suspiciously, "Does Princess know why this one is withdrawing the army?"
Ye Li smiled faintly, "Isn't it to protect Jhennam Of Gojoseon's flank?"
"Since Princess knows … … if you leave, won't you ruin Prince Ding's plan?" Even after so many years, Lei Tengfeng still felt that he could not understand this woman. But after experiencing so much and hearing so much about her, Lei Tengfeng could not help but be cautious. Ye Li looked at the stream in front of her and calmly said, "If I let Lord Lei pass, Prince Ding's plan will only be ruined. Also … … Lord Lei may not be able to stop him, right? But if this consort does not let Lord Lei pass, Yun Ting's hundreds of thousands of soldiers will immediately suffer. How can this consort not know what is important and what is not? "
Lei Tengfeng was stunned. He finally cupped his hands towards Ye Li and said, "Since this is the case, many thanks for Princess's help. This one will take his leave. "
"Take care. I won't see you out." Ye Li nodded.
Watching Lei Tengfeng's figure disappear into the woods, Ye Li said in a low voice, "Princess, the West-Hill has played Mo Jingli like this." Ye Li smiled and said, "From the beginning, Lei Zhenting did not take Mo Jingli seriously." Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting were not equal in terms of ability. How could he ask Lei Zhenting to treat Mo Jingli as a partner? From start to finish, Mo Jingli was just a tool in Lei Zhenting's hands.
"Once Lei Tengfeng retreats and Mo Jingli loses Mu Jingmin and Mu Yang, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on much longer," Zhuo Jing said. Qin Feng frowned and said, "Even so, Mo Jingli's military strength is still above ours. It's impossible for us to go back to help the Prince in the near future. "
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "That depends on how long Mo Jingli can hold on."
Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing both remembered that when they went to Nanjing, they had made arrangements. It was really … hard to say how long Mo Jingli could hold on.
Lei Tengfeng left quickly and hurriedly, showing no mercy. By the time Zhao Lian and Lv Jinxian returned from their battle, the barracks had long since been deserted. Zhao Lian had no choice but to order someone to quickly report the matter to Mo Jingli.
When the news reached Mo Jingli's camp, Mo Jingli was also furious. There was no other reason. Marquis Muyang, who was imprisoned in the army, had mysteriously disappeared. In the past few days, Mo Jingli's anger had been rising sharply. All the officers and soldiers in the camp kept quiet out of fear. They were very careful, fearing that they would provoke the emperor's wrath if they were careless.
Mo Jingli deeply felt that this expedition could be said to be not going well from the beginning to the end. And these few days, he was in a terrible fix and had his hands full. First, he suspected that the House of Marquis Muyang had betrayed him and sided with the Prince Ding Mansion. Before the truth came to light, Mu Yang dared to kill his guards. When he sent Gao Ming to capture Mu Yang, unexpectedly, Mu Yang and Gao Ming fell into the hands of the Mohist army, and Mu Yang committed suicide. In this way, he, who suspected that the House of Marquis Muyang had sided with the Prince Ding Mansion, was like a silly clown in the eyes of outsiders, being played by the Prince Ding Mansion.
Just as Mo Jingli was considering whether he should release Marquis Muyang to appease him or just kill him to prevent future troubles, news of Marquis Muyang's mysterious disappearance came from the camp. Mo Jingli did not even have time to vent his anger before Zhao Lian's prompt report made Mo Jingli spit out a mouthful of blood. A few months ago, Ye Ying's wound was not light, and she had not fully recovered. In the past few days, Mo Jingli's anger had been rising. Now, he was so angry that he finally vomited blood.
"Your Majesty!" The generals below were shocked when they saw the situation. She just didn't know what was written in the memorial to make the Emperor so angry.
Mo Jingli waved away the hand of the eunuch who came forward to help him. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Lei Tengfeng! Pass down my decree, order the General of the Right Wing to lead the troops to intercept Lei Tengfeng's troops! Be sure to catch them all in one fell swoop! "
"Your Majesty?!" The generals could not help but exclaim. The reason why they had the confidence to go north was because of their alliance with West-Hill. Now, they had not achieved anything in the confrontation with the Mohist army, but they had already started fighting with their own allies. It was obvious what kind of ending awaited them.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." A general standing at the front stepped forward and said, "Our army is now in a confrontation with the Mohist army. If we clash with the Xiling Army again, I'm afraid that the Prince Ding Mansion will benefit from it. In my opinion … the most important thing for our army now is to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of Mohist army led by Yun Ting outside the Cold Valley Pass. At that time, even if Princess Ding and Lu Jinxian's army reach the Cold Valley Pass, they will be surrounded by our army. "
The Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon of West-Hill suddenly broke the agreement, which indeed surprised and angered everyone. But not everyone was like Mo Jingli, who was so angry that he did not care about anything else. Now, even if Lei Tengfeng left with his troops and left them to face the Mohist army alone, they would not necessarily lose. But if Your Majesty were to fight with the Crown Prince of Jhennam Of Gojoseon, then they would definitely lose. Lu Jinxian was not so kind as to wait for their internal conflict to end before starting a fight.
Mo Jingli was silent for a while, then finally snorted and listened to his subordinate's suggestion. How could Mo Jingli not know that there were no benefits to fighting with Lei Tengfeng at this time? But he had just been viciously swindled by King Ding's residence, and now he was swindled by the King of Zhennan's residence. Mo Jingli could not swallow this anger.
After a long time, Mo Jingli said in a deep voice, "Gather all the troops. Within three days, I want to see Yun Ting's head!" With nowhere to vent his anger, Mo Jingli could only take it out on Yun Ting, who was stationed outside the pass.
"Understood!" The generals below all quietly let out a sigh of relief. Compared to Lei Tengfeng, Yun Ting was naturally easier to deal with. And no matter from the current situation or the current battle situation, Yun Ting was their first target to eliminate.
After dismissing everyone, Mo Jingli was alone in the silent tent. The expression on his face became more and more unsightly. Too many things had happened in the past few days. Now that he had come back to his senses, he finally understood that the so-called betrayal of the House of Marquis Muyang was a scheme by the Prince Ding Mansion. And because of this, he lost two of his most capable subordinates. Presumably, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li were secretly laughing at him right now?
