Taiping Lie 367. Two people in love, urgent news from Jiangnan

Hei Yunqi swept across the battlefield like a black whirlwind. The old general Yuan Pei, with white hair and beard, was still strong and rode his warhorse to lead the troops. Seeing that Ye Li was safe, he was obviously relieved.

"I have met the princess before!"

Ye Li quickly reached out to support Yuan Pei who was about to bow down and said with a smile: "Old General, there is no need to be so polite. I will feel sorry for the old general." Yuan Pei stood up and said with a smile: "I am just leading the troops to support you. It is the princess who has been guarding Lingjiu Mountain for these days and has worked very hard. I admire you."

Seeing the old general's serious expression, Ye Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's wait until the battle is over before we praise each other." Yuan Pei couldn't help but smile as well. He looked at Helian Peng who was still fighting with Han Mingyue not far away and said with a changed expression, "Is that boy Helian Zhen's son? He's really brave!"

The Mo family army hated Helian Zhen more than anyone else. Since Helian Peng was Helian Zhen's son, he was also inevitably affected. Ye Li smiled and said, "He is indeed Helian Zhen's adopted son."

Yuan Pei nodded repeatedly and said, "That's great. I didn't have the chance to meet Helian Zhen back then. Now that I've captured his son, let's see what he has to say."

Helian Peng was fighting with Han Mingyue, and Han Mingyue looked relaxed and casual. He didn't have to win, so he wasn't in a hurry. Helian Peng was secretly anxious when he saw that he couldn't decide the winner with Han Mingyue for a while. But Han Mingyue's martial arts didn't allow him to fight or leave whenever he wanted. When Helian Peng rushed to him, he knew that the situation was over. No matter how unwilling he was, he knew that if he didn't leave now, he would really be unable to leave. He made up his mind and swung his sword at Han Mingyue with all his strength. Such a desperate posture made Han Mingyue a little flustered for a while. Helian Peng took the opportunity to shake off Han Mingyue and retreated far away.

"Princess Ding, I will learn your skills again tomorrow!" Helian Peng landed on a horse and pulled the reins to gallop north. The Beirong soldiers who were fighting with the Mohist army retreated as soon as they saw their commander leave.

Seeing this, Yuan Pei wanted to command his troops to catch up, but was stopped by Ye Li, "Helian Peng still has at least hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. There is no need to chase them too quickly, He Su and the others should be back soon."

Yuan Pei had to stop after hearing what Ye Li said. He still had the important task of guarding Feihong Pass, and he really couldn't spend his time confronting Helian Peng.

Helian Peng led the remaining soldiers to retreat, but was intercepted on the road by He Su, who had just captured Huicheng and came back to reinforce Lingjiu Mountain. Helian Peng was also chased by Ye Li, who had reorganized his troops. Helian Peng suffered a great loss from the front and back attacks. In the end, he could only return to the Beirong camp with the remaining tens of thousands of troops.

After repelling Helian Peng, Ye Li left Zhou Min to guard the Western Army, and returned to the Mohist Army camp with He Su and Sun Yaowu.

In the Beirong camp, Yeluye stared at Helian Peng who was kneeling in the middle of the tent with a gloomy face, and he was furious. "With nearly 400,000 troops, you only brought back these tens of thousands of people for me? Helian Peng, you are so capable! How dare you disobey my military order?! Who do you think you are?" Yeluye was angry not only because Helian Peng's men suffered heavy losses, but also because the losses of the Beirong camp in recent days were no less than Helian Peng's. But Helian Peng's disobedience gave Yeluye a good excuse to vent. So the first thing Helian Peng did after returning to the Beirong camp was to be scolded by Yeluye. No commander would like such a wanton subordinate.

Helian Zhen, who was sitting on the side, also had an ugly expression on his face. Helian Peng was his adopted son, and he was the one who taught him. Yelu Ye scolded Helian Peng in front of him and hit Helian Zhen in the face, but this time it was indeed Helian Peng's fault. Even if Helian Zhen wanted to plead, he couldn't say anything.

After Yeluye had finished venting his anger, Helian Zhen said in a deep voice: "Seventh Prince, the Mohist army is now in full swing, and it will be useless for us to get angry here." During this period, the Mohist army was unstoppable, and the Northern Rong army was forced to retreat again and again, and had already retreated more than 200 miles. If not for this, Yeluye would not have been so anxious to transfer Helian Peng's army back. Who knew that Helian Peng disobeyed orders and instead let more than 200,000 troops be wasted in Lingjiu Mountain.

"What does uncle think?" Yelu Ye suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

For a while, Helian Zhen really had no other options. Back then, Helian Zhen was able to defeat the Mohist Army because he had the advantage of getting the Mohist Army's defense map first. But the Mohist Army now is not the Mohist Army of more than ten years ago, and there is no other stupid Chu Emperor who can send them a defense map and stab them in the back.

After thinking for a long time, Helian Zhen said in a deep voice: "The Mohist Army has made outstanding achievements in battle. It will be difficult for us to defeat them alone. We need a partner."

"Cooperation?" Yelu Ye frowned and said, "Who can we cooperate with now? The northern border has been destroyed, and Xiling. In the south, there is Mo Jingli eyeing us covetously. I'm afraid Lei Zhenting will not fight with the Mo family army in the short term."

Helian Zhen said in a deep voice: "Then bring Xiling and Dachu together. Lei Zhenting must know that once we are finished with Beirong, the next one to face the Mohist Army will be Xiling. If we can destroy the Mohist Army first, he will definitely agree."

Hearing this, Yeluye couldn't help but ponder. After a while, he asked, "Even if that's the case, what should Mo Jingli do? Once Lei Zhenting fights with the Mo family army, Mo Jingli will definitely cross the Yunlan River to attack Xiling, and then all our efforts will be in vain."

Helian Peng said: "Mo Jingli and Mo Xiuyao have no less grievances than us. As long as we can persuade him, we can just promise him some benefits after destroying the Mo family army." After hearing what Helian Peng said, Yelu Ye was also somewhat tempted. He had met Mo Jingli several times before, so he naturally had some understanding of him. He had great ambitions but was short-sighted and average in ability. If he could be given enough benefits, maybe he could really join hands with them to deal with Mo Xiuyao. But the benefits that could be given to Mo Jingli must come from Lei Zhenting, so they must have someone who could convince Zhennan King Lei Zhenting. But Lei Zhenting was not as easy to deal with as Mo Jingli.

"Uncle, do you have anyone who can persuade Lei Zhenting?" There were not many people among the Northern Rong who were good at speaking, and for a moment, Yelu Ye couldn't think of who to send to persuade Lei Zhenting.

Helian Zhen smiled and said, "I am willing to go there in person."

Yeluye frowned slightly and looked at Helian Zhen, who had a hint of worry in his eyes. After so many years, Yeluye gradually felt that his uncle was no longer the flying cavalry general who had terrorized the Northern Rong. Instead, he gradually became a bit like a politician from the Central Plains. Although he hated Mo Xiuyao to the core, he seemed to have given up the idea of ​​defeating Mo Xiuyao openly on the battlefield. For a moment, Yeluye didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking about it, he realized that he really didn't have any suitable candidates. Yeluye nodded and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, uncle." Helian Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will not disappoint you. After I leave, we can fight the Mohist army as hard as we can, but if we can't, we can just hold on. Once the armies of Xiling and Dachu start to move, the pressure on Your Highness will be greatly reduced."

Yeluye nodded and said, "I understand."

Helian Zhen glanced at Helian Peng who was still kneeling on the ground, and said hesitantly: "Helian Peng..." Yelu Ye disliked Helian Peng and did not ask him to get up just now, so Helian Peng had to keep kneeling.

"Get up." Yeluye said calmly, "Go back to your tent first, I'll see what I can do with him later."

Helian Zhen also knew that it was useless to say more, so he could only nod and say, "Thank you, Seventh Prince, for your forgiveness."

Helian Peng stood up and said, "Thank you, Seventh Prince." Yelu Ye snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After leaving the big tent and returning to Helian Zhen's tent, Helian Peng knelt down again and said, "Please punish me, father." Helian Zhen looked at him with a cold face for a long time before finally asking, "I told you that you just need to hold on to Lingjiu Mountain? Who told you to fight to the death with Princess Ding?"

Helian Peng lowered his head and remained silent.

Helian Zhen stared at him coldly and said, "The Seventh Prince ordered you to come back. With your intelligence, how could you not see that it was my intention? You actually dared to disobey the order! Helian, I have always had high hopes for you, but since you went to the war, you have really disappointed me."

Helian Peng was speechless. Not only was Helian Zhen disappointed in him, but even Helian Peng himself was somewhat disappointed in himself. He had never thought that he would actually be defeated by Princess Ding, and defeated so miserably.

Although Helian Peng was born in Beirong and was an orphan adopted by Helian Zhen, he worshipped Murong Xiong, who was considered the best master in the Central Plains, as his teacher. He studied martial arts and Central Plains culture hard, and he always felt that he was different from those tribesmen who were called barbarians by the Central Plains people. This idea did not change even after he followed his adoptive father to the battlefield and served under the Seventh Prince. In a vague way, he even looked down on the high and mighty Seventh Prince. But after this defeat, he realized that the Beirong people were not as stupid and reckless as he thought, and they were not even worse than he thought. At least, at present, on the Beirong battlefield, except for the Central Army Camp that was directly at war with Prince Ding, he was the one who suffered the worst defeat among all the other troops. Until this moment, Helian Peng finally calmed down and put himself in the position of a general to think about the problem. Unfortunately, his awakening and calmness came at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Beirong soldiers.

Seeing the defeated look on Helian Peng's face, Helian Zhen sighed and said, "Get up. You can't be blamed for this. You are not the first person to be defeated by Princess Ding. This is your first time on the battlefield, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions." As long as you are a man, it is no surprise that you will have a kind of male chauvinism. Especially in this era, even if Ye Li is famous all over the world, no matter how many people say how powerful Princess Ding is. Even her enemies know that she is not simple, but they still easily underestimate her when they act. It's not that they are careless and arrogant, this is the innate flaw of men in this era. They are too used to thinking that women are weak and dependent on men. Even if there are a few powerful ones, their power is limited.

Helian Peng stood up and said with some shame: "Father, please forgive me. I will not make such a mistake again in the future."

Helian Zhen nodded and said, "Father raised you, taught you how to march and fight, and helped you learn martial arts from a master in the Central Plains, all so that one day you could defeat Mo Xiuyao for your father and achieve great feats for yourself. Don't let your father down."

Helian Peng nodded, looked at Helian Zhen with some worry, and said, "Father, do you really intend to go to Xiling in person to persuade Lei Zhenting to form an alliance with Mo Jingli and Beirong?" Helian Zhen nodded and sighed, "With our Beirong forces alone, I'm afraid there is no hope of defeating the Mo family army. More importantly, once we are defeated, it will not be as simple as withdrawing from the Central Plains. I'm afraid that after returning to the Beirong royal court, Beirong will no longer have a place for the Helian family and the Seventh Prince to stand. Therefore, this battle can only be won and not lost. No matter what, we must convince Lei Zhenting to mobilize troops against Ding Wangfu."

"I'm afraid Lei Zhenting is not so easy to convince." Helian Peng said. In order to convince Lei Zhenting and Mo Jingli at the same time, Lei Zhenting must give up some of the benefits he has already obtained to Mo Jingli. How could Lei Zhenting so easily agree to take something he already has in his hands in exchange for something in the future that is still in the air?

"Don't worry, I'm afraid Lei Zhenting himself is also anxious to deal with Ding Wangfu." Helian Zhen smiled, "Lei Zhenting is already quite old, but his son Lei Tengfeng does not have his father's ambition and strategy. Once Lei Zhenting has any problems in the future, the first place that Ding Wangfu will deal with is Xiling. Otherwise, Lei Zhenting will definitely choose to strike first. But Da Chu and Mo Jingli have become his worries. As long as we solve this worry for him, he will naturally agree to start a rebellion."

Helian Peng was silent for a while before he clasped his hands and said, "Father has deep thoughts and farsightedness, and I am not as good as him."

Helian Zhen patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile, "Father is packing his bags and getting ready to leave. You go now."

"The child is leaving."

In the Mohist Army camp, Prince Ding, who had finally waited for his beloved wife to return, was unable to enjoy the boundless happiness of having his beloved wife in his arms. He could only look at his beloved wife in front of him with a look of indifference, feeling aggrieved.

"Ali, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?" Prince Ding looked at the princess cautiously and asked softly. Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the tent, otherwise the Mo family army, who didn't know the true face of His Highness Prince Ding, would be scared to death. Although he asked this, Mo Xiuyao was so smart that he didn't know why Ali was like this? While looking at Ye Li, he quickly figured out who dared to ruin his business.

Ye Li raised her eyes and glanced at him calmly, then said leisurely, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. How could anyone make me unhappy?"

"Ali..." Finally unable to hold back any longer, Mo Xiuyao rushed over and hugged Ye Li's waist tightly, rubbing his chin on her shoulder, "Ali, I was wrong..." Ye Li finally looked at him seriously and asked calmly, "What's wrong with you, Lord?"

"I shouldn't have gone to the Beirong camp alone." Mo Xiuyao raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Li's expression, and said hurriedly.

It would have been better if it hadn't been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, Ye Li's face became even uglier. She sneered and said, "Your Highness Prince Ding's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, so there is naturally no place he can't go. What's wrong with this? Why did the prince let others hide it from me? If I had known it earlier, I would have cheered for the prince." Even the concubine came out, it seems that he is really angry. Mo Xiuyao secretly complained in his heart. Prince Ding is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of his beloved wife getting angry. Feng Zhiyao always mocked him for being henpecked, which is true, but it's a pity that he is happy with it.

"Ali, am I angry... What if you were really kidnapped by Helian Peng? I wanted to kill Helian Peng, and then kill Helian Zhen and Yelu Ye, so that no one would dare to hurt Ali anymore." Ignoring Ye Li's struggle, Mo Xiuyao held her tightly in his arms, and said in a muffled voice. Hearing this voice that seemed to carry a hint of grievance and panic, Ye Li felt a sharp pain in her heart, how could she express any anger?

Ye Li raised her hand and gently smoothed his long silver hair that fell on her chest. She sighed secretly in her heart. She lifted his face that was leaning against her body and looked at him. Ye Li said softly, "I have many people protecting me. How can Helian Peng tie me up?"

"But I was very scared after hearing it, I couldn't control that feeling... I just want Ah Li to stay by my side forever and never leave for a moment." Mo Xiuyao's hoarse voice showed his seriousness. Ye Li felt her eyes warm up, as if something wanted to flow out. She had to lower her head and lean on his shoulder, whispering: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if something happened to you? What would I do? What would Xiaobao, Lin'er and Xin'er do?"

What should I do if something happens to you? Mo Xiuyao thought these were the most touching words in the world. They made him happier than liking or loving her. Ah Li had always been very independent and strong, but these words were the weakest words Mo Xiuyao had ever heard her say.

"I'll be fine. Even for Ah Li, nothing will happen to me." Mo Xiuyao assured happily. If everything went well, even the fact that he went to the Beirong camp alone could be covered up. Then he could be with Ah Li...

"I said I'll be fine, so you don't have to worry. Do you believe me?" Ye Li raised her head and glanced at him indifferently, just in time to see the smug smile that someone hadn't had time to retract. Mo Xiuyao's handsome face suddenly fell, "A Li, I was wrong... I will never do such a thing again. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Ye Li could only sigh helplessly. It was really unknown where Mo Xiuyao's temper came from. When in front of people, he was still the majestic and domineering overlord, but behind people, he sometimes had a childish face, even worse than Mo Xiaobao. But even so, Ye Li still knew that this kind of coquettish and coquettish appearance was only revealed behind people, which did not mean that this was his true nature. Mo Xiuyao's true nature was inevitably tainted with a sinister and violent side in the earth-shaking incident more than ten years ago. No matter what the future holds, the world will never see the legendary proud son of heaven who was so unrestrained and upright in the past.

Just like this time, with Mo Xiuyao's wisdom, how could he not think of a better way to solve it. But he chose the most direct method without hesitation, not only to shock the enemy, but also to find an outlet for his anger. Ye Li understood Mo Xiuyao well enough, so many times she was willing to tolerate him, but at the same time she couldn't help but worry that he would hurt others and himself one day.

"Ah Li, do you hate me?" Seeing that Ye Li had not spoken for a long time, Mo Xiuyao suddenly asked. A trace of sadness and grievance flashed across his handsome face, but Ye Li could tell that this time it was not intentional in front of her to make her calm down like before.

Mo Xiuyao raised his head and looked at Ye Li with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes, but more of it was the uneasiness hidden in his eyes, "Ali, you can't hate me. In this world, anyone can hate me, but Ali can't. Ali, don't even think about leaving me!" Ye Li understood Mo Xiuyao. After ten years of companionship, Mo Xiuyao naturally understood Ye Li well enough. Although Ye Li usually did things without hesitation, she made decisions immediately and was more determined than men. But in essence, Ye Li was not a bloodthirsty and murderous person. If it weren't for these things in the past few years, Mo Xiuyao believed that Ye Li could be just as good as an ordinary mistress of the royal palace, a good wife and a good mother. She was not afraid of killing, but her heart was peaceful without any hostility or murderous intent. Therefore, subconsciously, Mo Xiuyao did not want Ye Li to know his true thoughts. Even though he knew that he could not hide these from Ye Li, he would unconsciously show his childish side in front of Ye Li on weekdays, hoping to cover up the side of himself that he did not want to expose in front of others. In fact, even if Mo Xiuyao was sitting in public and crying loudly today, the world would not think that Prince Ding was really as childish as a child, but would only think that he had some ulterior motives.

Mo Xiuyao rarely showed his sinister side to Ye Li, so even Ye Li could not help but feel a chill in his cold words. But Ye Li knew in her heart that Mo Xiuyao would never hurt her. She stroked his handsome face, which still had a hint of gloom, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? So many things have happened in the past, and now that you are about to enjoy your life, wouldn't it be stupid for me to leave you?"

Seeing that Ye Li's smiling eyes did not show any displeasure or hatred, Mo Xiuyao's expression became much warmer. He raised his hand and held Ye Li's hand, whispering: "A Li, as long as A Li is always by my side, I will give you whatever A Li wants."

Ye Li pinched him angrily, "Just be good and stop making trouble and worrying me. You still dare to say that if something happens to me, you will throw Xiaobao to be a beggar. If something happens to you, do you know what I will do?"

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyes to look at her, and Ye Li said with a smile: "If something happens to you, I will take all the property of Prince Ding's Mansion and remarry. Then Xiaobao will definitely not become a beggar, um... you understand?"

Mo Xiuyao's face changed, and he didn't care that Ye Li was still angry with him. He leaned over and pressed her down on the couch, "No! Even if I die, you are not allowed to marry someone else, otherwise I will kill everyone!"

Ye Li raised her eyebrows, "Who else do you want to kill now that you're dead?"

Mo Xiuyao was stunned for a long while, his eyes changing constantly. He stared at Ye Li for a long time before he finally calmed down. He leaned against her neck and said sullenly, "I won't die. If anyone wants to die, it's them. Ah Li and I will grow old together."

Seeing someone's depressed look, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh softly. She raised her hand and stroked his silver hair and said with a smile: "Isn't your hair already white now?" Mo Xiuyao raised her head, looked at her beautiful and smiling face, and said: "I have to wait until Ah Li's hair is also white, then we can be considered to be together forever. Ah Li, you are not angry anymore, right?"

Ye Li sighed softly, "You have to keep your word. If there is a next time, I will not just be angry. Do you know how scared I was when I heard Helian Peng say that you broke into the Beirong camp alone?" Ye Li was not trying to scare Mo Xiuyao. She was really scared when she heard Helian Peng's words. Although she knew that Mo Xiuyao was fine, he could break into the Beirong camp today because of her being intercepted by Helian Peng. He might do something more dangerous tomorrow. Unless Ye Li did nothing and stayed by Mo Xiuyao's side from now on. But they all knew that this was impossible, at least not now.

"Not anymore, I will never let A'li worry again. After I kill those annoying people, we will go sightseeing and never worry about these things again. I will accompany A'li wherever she wants to go." Mo Xiuyao promised hurriedly, while silently calculating in his heart. It turned out that Helian Peng had revealed his secrets, very good, very good... The very vengeful Prince Ding made a heavy note for Helian Peng in his heart.

Although he has been slow in these years, Mo Xiuyao is very determined to kill certain people. Ye Li didn't care about him. Compared with those irrelevant people, the most important thing is that the man in front of her is safe and sound. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Mo Xiuyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ah Li rarely gets angry, but once she gets angry, she is very difficult to appease. Jewelry, gifts, and sweet words that women like are useless to her. However, seeing Ye Li so worried about him, Mo Xiuyao was very happy in his heart. He nuzzled Ye Li's slender neck affectionately and kissed her face and lips softly, "Ah Li, it's great to have you by my side... Don't leave me..."

If he hadn't met her in his life, Mo Xiuyao almost couldn't imagine what his life would be like. One day, he could no longer bear the hatred and anger in his heart. He would destroy Da Chu and the whole world without hesitation, and even destroy the Mo family army and Dingwang Mansion. It was because of Ye Li that he wanted to be with A Li forever and watch A Li live a happy life by his side. Later, Mo Xiaobao came. Although that little bastard was naughty and deliberately opposed him, making people wish he had never been born. But he still wanted to watch him grow up safely and then harm others. Instead of hiding in the dark with a belly full of pain like he used to be, silently nourishing the viciousness and murderousness in his heart with hatred. It was because of these that he could slow down his pace step by step to balance and calculate, slowly strengthen the power of Ding Wangfu, and make himself invincible in this chaotic world before destroying those who made him hate, instead of choosing to perish together from the beginning.

Ye Li couldn't help but be moved by the deep obsession implied in Mo Xiuyao's whisper. In the past life, in this life, in the past and present lives, has there ever been a person who loves her as deeply as Mo Xiuyao. It's not because of her family background, nor because of her ability, but simply because of her, Ye Li. And when has she ever felt so much pity and love for someone? Even though she knew that the man in front of her was never as harmless as he appeared in front of her, and even that he had countless malice and murderous intentions in his heart. If it were in the past, she would have been cautious of him as a future criminal with anti-social tendencies, but now, she was only worried that he would hurt himself because of this.

"Silly boy, where else can I go except by your side?" Holding his handsome face against hers, Ye Li raised her head and slowly kissed his cool lips, "Xiu Yao, I love you. Do you understand? In my heart, you are the most important. No matter what you look like, you are the one I love."

Mo Xiuyao was stunned, and was inexplicably overjoyed by these words that came out of nowhere and sounded like heavenly music. He grabbed the back of Ye Li's head and took the initiative to deepen the kiss, "A Li, I love you... Mo Xiuyao will only love you for the rest of my life..."

In the big tent, a couple who have been married for ten years and a pair of lovers hug each other tightly, entangled and sad...

"Your Highness, Princess, Feng Zhiyao requests to see you!" Feng Zhiyao's voice came from outside the big tent, interrupting the two people's affectionate conversation. Mo Xiuyao's face suddenly turned black, and he wanted to throw Feng Zhiyao away ten thousand miles with one palm.

Seeing him like this, Ye Li couldn't help but smile and reached out to push Mo Xiuyao in. Mo Xiuyao stood up and went inside to tidy up his clothes. Mo Xiuyao then let Feng Zhiyao in with a dark face. As soon as he stepped into the big tent, Feng Zhiyao felt a cold resentment coming over him. When he looked up and saw Mo Xiuyao staring at him, he felt puzzled. Could it be that the prince was scolded by the princess, so he was in a bad mood? But... is it really a gentleman's behavior to transfer his anger to his subordinates after being scolded by his wife?

But the Third Prince Feng obviously overestimated the character of Prince Ding. Not to mention being angry, even if Prince Ding took it out on him, he wouldn't have any psychological burden, not to mention that someone had interrupted his good deeds. Mo Xiuyao stared at Feng Zhiyao with a sinister look, "Feng San, what's the matter?" It had better be something. If Feng Zhiyao dared to say that he was here to drink and chat with him, he should prepare to go back and pack up his things and live in the border areas of the Western Regions for the rest of his life.

Feng Zhiyao raised his eyebrows. He really had something important to say. "I just received news that Helian Zhen left the Beirong camp and quietly went south."

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, "Go south? Why is Helian Zhen going south?" Helian Zhen has never been to Jiangnan in his life, won't he get lost? Feng Zhiyao rolled his eyes at him unhappily. Did someone's brain start to fail as soon as the princess came back? "We are fighting, and the Northern Rong people are still losing ground. Helian Zhen is not staying in the barracks and running south. Do you think he is going to travel?"

Mo Xiuyao finally pulled his mind back from his joy and hatred towards Feng Zhiyao, and said calmly, "He wants to join forces with Lei Zhenting to deal with Prince Ding's Mansion."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. It turns out you still have your brain." Feng Zhiyao sneered unhappily.

Mo Xiuyao stared at him and suddenly showed a sinister smile, "Feng San, I found that you are very dissatisfied with me recently." Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but shudder, and then he remembered that the man in front of him was never a magnanimous person who didn't bear grudges. He was indeed very dissatisfied with Mo Xiuyao, but there was no need to let him know so as not to create more dissatisfaction in the future. The most important thing was that he couldn't bear it if Mo Xiuyao really wanted to discipline him. Mo Jingli, who had been unlucky since childhood and had a twisted personality, was Yin Jian.

"How could that be? Your Majesty is so virtuous that he is as great as heaven and earth, and so powerful that he doesn't even have time to get to know Qin Pei." Feng Zhiyao smiled.

"Hypocritical." Mo Xiuyao snorted.

The phoenix is ​​far away and I look up at the sky in silence. Just be happy. It's okay to be vain sometimes...

"What are you talking about?" Ye Li came out and looked at the two people with different expressions with some curiosity. Feng Zhiyao looked at the princess who came out, then looked at Mo Xiuyao who had a gloomy face, touched his nose and suddenly felt that he had understood.

"Your Highness, Helian Zhen is heading south secretly. I am asking Your Highness whether to send someone to intercept him." Feng Zhiyao said seriously.

Hearing this, Ye Li looked at Mo Xiu Yao. Mo Xiu Yao said lazily, "Why stop him? If we stop Helian Zhen, there will be others. Even if there is no one, we will still have to fight Lei Zhenting sooner or later." Feng Zhiyao looked at Mo Xiu Yao with some embarrassment and said, "Even if we will have to fight Lei Zhenting sooner or later, isn't it a bit... "It is definitely easier to attack them separately, one from the front and the other from the back, than to fight two powers at the same time.

Mo Xiuyao looked at him with a smile, stretched out a finger and shook it, saying with a smile: "Not two, but three. Do you think Mo Jingli is a vegetarian?"

After hearing what Mo Xiuyao said, Feng Zhiyao couldn't help but change color. The Mo family army might be able to win against the Northern Rong alone, but with Lei Zhenting, they would be a little stretched. If there was another Mo Jingli..., even if Mo Jingli was stupid, he still had an army of millions. The three families together were like millions of pigs, which was enough to crush the Mo family army to death.

"My Lord..."

Mo Xiuyao waved his hands and smiled, "Don't worry, after all these years, how can I not be better than them?"

I'm just afraid that you're going to kill us. Feng Zhiyao secretly complained in his heart, glancing at Ye Li. Ye Li lowered his head in thought, but his mind did not stop constantly calculating the current situation, "Can we quickly resolve the Beirong first?"

Mo Xiuyao shook his head and smiled, "Since Helian Zhen has left, Yelu Ye will definitely stay here and not come out. It's impossible to have a quick victory." Yelu Ye is not one of those reckless men who will rush out to fight you at the first sign of provocation. If he wants to hide in his shell, there is really no way for him to do so. "Not only the King of Zhennan and Mo Jingli, I'm afraid Yelu Ye has also sent people to the Northern Rong King's Court for help."

Feng Zhiyao's face darkened. "Why don't you just tell me how many troops we are going to face? I want to think about what else I have left to deal with."

Mo Xiuyao hugged Ye Li and laughed loudly, "Don't worry too much. It's hard to say whether the reinforcements from the Northern Rong Royal Court will arrive."

Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "Yelü Hong?"

Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "Yes, even if Yelu Hong wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, he has to worry about whether Yelu Ye will fill all the troops of the Northern Rong into the bottomless pit of the Central Plains." Since the Northern Rong used troops against the Great Chu for more than two years, Yelu Ye has transferred no less than 1.5 million troops from the Northern Rong, but now the troops in Yelu Ye's hands are less than 700,000. A full 700,000 or 800,000 troops were sent to the Central Plains, but in fact the benefits obtained by the Northern Rong royal court were very limited.

Feng Zhiyao felt a little relieved and nodded, "That's good, but... since the prince doesn't intend to stop Helian Zhen, shouldn't we also make some arrangements?" Not to mention that the Mohist Army, with less than one million troops under its command, wants to deal with the coalition forces of the Three Kingdoms. If that were the case, Feng Zhiyao felt that he could really just die first.

Mo Xiuyao pondered for a moment and asked, "Ali, how many troops can we expand now?"

Ye Li calculated and said, "It will take at least two months to mobilize a million soldiers. After that, we can send another 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers to the battlefield. If there are more, I'm afraid it will damage the foundation of Dingwang Mansion."

The reason why the Mohist army has always had few soldiers is because the Dingwang Mansion has used a lot of resources to govern the people's livelihood. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the troops are insufficient. The Mohist army is more about quality than quantity. The advantage is that the Dingwang Mansion has abundant resources and has strong war sustainability and potential. Even if it fights for several years in a row, it does not have to worry about military supplies and wages, and it will not even affect the lives of the people under the Dingwang Mansion.

However, no matter how good a card is, if there is no chance to play it, it is a useless card. Therefore, if it really comes to a life-and-death struggle, even if it means damaging the foundation of the people within the jurisdiction of the Ding Palace, the only option is to conscript a large number of people into the army.

Mo Xiuyao thought for a moment and said, "No need. First, transfer 800,000 troops and keep the rest ready at any time. It will be in time to replenish them after the spring plowing next year."

"Is this possible?" Feng Zhiyao was a little worried, thinking that Mo Xiuyao's assumptions were too optimistic. How could it be possible to achieve a great victory without damaging the people's farming?

Mo Xiuyao looked at him calmly and said, "It has to work. Or do you think this battle can be finished in two or three months?"

Feng Zhiyao rubbed his nose and said nothing. Many wars would last for three to five years. The Mohist army had to deal with the three kingdoms at the same time. If they didn't keep some cards in reserve, even if they didn't lose on the battlefield, their own rear would be dragged down and the people would suffer. He sighed helplessly and said, "I know."

"Your Highness, Princess, urgent news from Jiangnan!" Zhuo Jing's voice was a little hurried outside the door. Ye Li suddenly felt a little uneasy, glanced at Mo Xiuyao and said quickly, "Come in and tell me."

Zhuo Jing came in hurriedly, holding a letter in his hand and said, "Lin Han sent a letter by pigeon, saying that Master Qingchen has disappeared!"
