Ye Li smiled apologetically, "I was too impatient." She actually didn't have much experience in real battles. The few times she had fought, she had ended the battle quickly. Lu Jinxian's current plan was to slowly grind away at Mo Jingli. This made Ye Li, who was used to winning in one strike, feel slightly uncomfortable. However, she quickly understood her problem and tried her best to adjust.
Lu Jinxian smiled, "Wang fei is too serious. If we use all our strength to severely injure Mo Jingli, it is possible. But if we want to achieve the same result as we did in Huifeng Valley, it will be very difficult. If we let the remnants of the Chu Army escape, I'm afraid that they will come back soon. "Rather than this, it was better to take things slowly. They would fight until Mo Jingli couldn't fight anymore.
Ye Li nodded, "I understand. Thank you General for your reminder."
Lu Jinxian quickly said that he didn't dare. Ye Li had a smile on her lips. But in her heart, she started to think that it was time to use the chess pieces she had set up in Nanjing. Lu Jinxian was right. Rather than rushing for quick success and giving Mo Jingli a chance to come back, it was better to put in some effort and finish the battle in one go.
In the Chu Army's tent, Mo Jingli, who was reading through reports, suddenly shivered. A trace of confusion flashed across his dark face. He pulled at the bright yellow cloak on his body.
Two days later, the Mohist army and the Chu Army's western army had another decisive battle. The Chu Army finally couldn't hold up against the Mohist army's attacks. The situation was unsalvageable. The commander of the western army, Zhao Lian, was heavily injured and captured.
Fighting against the Chu Army was different from fighting against the Western Tomb Northern Militants. In the end, other than the conflicts between the upper echelons of power, the ordinary Chu Army soldiers and Mohist army soldiers, as well as the people of Da Chu State, were no different from the people of the northwest. They also never thought that after the Mohist army and the Da Chu State broke off relations, they would become mortal enemies. So when so many Da Chu State citizens fled to the Northwest, the people of the Northwest accepted them without any ill feelings. It was because they were one family to begin with. Just like the people in the northwest had never thought that the Prince Ding Mansion would stay in that small corner of the northwest. The people of Da Chu State never thought that the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army would abandon them.
Therefore, in this battle, both sides still held back some of their strength. Killing each other was not something that made people happy. Whether it was the Mohist army or the Chu Army, they usually would not kill prisoners or heavily injured enemy soldiers. And when the Chu Army could not defeat the Mohist army after trying their best, the soldiers at the bottom had no qualms about putting down their weapons and surrendering.
Zhao Lian's failure made Mo Jingli very irritable. Facing the approaching Mohist army led by Lu Jinxian and Ye Li, Mo Jingli very "decisively" abandoned his troops to guard Cold Valley Pass and escaped before Ye Li and the others arrived. This made the Mohist army speechless. Yun Ting could not think straight and would rather die than retreat half a step. And Mo Jingli retreated too quickly. With the natural defense of Cold Valley Pass, if the command was right, it would not be a problem to guard it for at least two to three months. At that time, the Chu Army's reinforcements would arrive.
Although Mo Jingli's abandonment of Cold Valley Pass dealt a heavy blow to the Chu Army's morale, it also brought a lot of trouble to Ye Li and the others. If Mo Jingli ran back to Jiangnan and did not come out, that would be fine. But with Mo Jingli's temper, he would definitely hide and wait for reinforcements to arrive before coming out to cause trouble. This would imperceptibly prolong the time that the Mohist army and the Chu Army fought.
As expected, in less than half a month, when the Chu Army's reinforcements neared the north, Mo Jingli appeared again. This time, compared to the ambiguous alliance with Xiling to attack the Mohist army, Mo Jingli directly issued a decree as the Emperor of Da Chu State. He announced to the world that the Prince Ding Mansion had betrayed the Da Chu State and that Mo Xiuyao intended to destroy the Da Chu State and then ascend the throne. He also listed Mo Xiuyao's 49 crimes to show that the Da Chu State's attack on the Prince Ding Mansion was righteous and in accordance with the will of the heavens.
These things naturally did not affect the Mohist army. Ye Li only casually glanced at the decree that was sent to the Mohist army before handing it to Yun Ting. Yun Ting snorted disdainfully after reading it and used it to prop up the foot of the table. If the Prince was interested in the throne, he would have ascended the throne long ago. Did he need to wait for Mo Jingli to issue a decree? Also, did Mo Jingli think that the world was blind? The Mohist army had never taken an inch of land from the hands of the Da Chu State. The Mohist army had already cut ties with the Da Chu State for a long time. No matter how one looked at it, the Prince Ding Mansion had a solid foundation.
Speaking of this, Yun Ting couldn't help but sigh at the Prince's foresight. It had to be known that the Central Plains were not barbarians. They called themselves the land of etiquette. No matter if it was the court officials or the common people, they all placed great importance on etiquette. If the Prince Ding Mansion had directly attacked the Da Chu State, even if the Mohist army had conquered the land, with the relationship between the Prince Ding Mansion and the Da Chu State, Prince Ding would be criticized in the history books.
"Wang Fei, a secret letter from Master Feng San!" Just as everyone was mocking Mo Jingli's actions, the voice of a guard came from outside the tent.
Ye Li slightly frowned and said, "Feng San? Bring it in? " Feng Zhiyao was with Mo Xiuyao. Under normal circumstances, Feng Zhiyao would not write a letter to her alone. Unless … … something had happened that Feng Zhiyao could not control with his power or power. Ye Li's heart sank slightly. She raised her hand to take the letter that the guard presented.
The letter was sealed with wax. On the seal, there was the highest level seal of the Prince Ding Mansion. It showed that the contents of the letter were not ordinary.
Calming her mind, Ye Li opened the letter and scanned it. The hand holding the letter trembled slightly and the letter fell to the ground. Ye Li's body couldn't help but soften as she fell into the chair. Yun Ting and the others sitting on the side jumped in fright and quickly came forward, "Wang Fei?!"
On a white letter, Feng Zhiyao's handwriting was messy and anxious. There were only a few words: The Prince is heavily injured, return quickly.
