Mo Xiuyao looked at the generals below with a smile and asked, "You all want to know when to attack the city?"

The generals nodded one after another, they were eager to capture Xiling Imperial City. This is a feat that the Mo family army has not achieved in nearly two hundred years.

Mo Xiuyao looked at them with a smile and said, "I don't plan to attack the imperial city."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look shocked. Although they had some speculations, they were still a little surprised when they heard the prince say this. Moreover, if they didn't plan to attack the city, there was no need for them to come. Could it be that the Xiling defenders who were afraid of being beaten by them all the way could still chase after them?

"Prince... Why don't you fight?" Yun Ting couldn't help but raise his hand and asked, everyone's eyes immediately stared at Mo Xiuyao.

Mo Xiuyao asked lightly, "How many troops have the Mo family lost before and after attacking Biancheng?"

Everyone was silent. Although the Mo family army was a rare success along the way, Biancheng still lost a lot of troops. After calculation, Biancheng lost nearly 80,000 or 90,000 troops in the battle. It was almost the sum of the losses afterwards and the previous ones. Now that the troops are facing Xiling Imperial City, the reason why there are 300,000 troops under the Xiling Imperial City is that Lu Songxian sent someone to replenish more than 100,000 elite troops. The losses are the most elite troops of the Mo family army.

Mo Xiuyao said: "Although Xiling Imperial City is not as far-reaching as Biancheng, its defense ability is definitely better than Biancheng. In addition... the last of the three famous generals of this king, the Shuntian General Feng Ao is currently in the imperial city. The Mo family army can indeed capture Xiling Imperial City, but I don't want to pay so much. In addition... I don't want to destroy the defense of this city."

This imperial city is not long, only about 150 years ago. It was a city built by Xiling Kingdom after more than ten years of hard work. When Xiling was first established, the countries in the Western Regions were not at peace. The two founding emperors of Xiling dared to choose the imperial city in this place close to the border, which has to be said to be extremely courageous. Or there is also some intention to be vigilant for descendants. Once the Mo family army seizes the entire northern territory of Xiling, the former Xiling border will become the border of the Mo family army. This former imperial city will become the most solid and last gate to defend the Western Regions.

"Then... what is the prince going to do? We can't just waste it or stop fighting, right?" Zhang Qilan asked.

Mo Xiuyao smiled but refused to answer, and everyone looked at Ye Li with awesome look.

Ye Li lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "The military strategy says: the superior army attacks the plan, the second is to attack the diplomatic relations, the second is to attack the troops, and the lower is to attack the cities... Only by defeating the troops without fighting can the best strategy."

Everyone worshipped: The princess is truly a celestial being.

Feng Zhiyao touched his nose and thought silently in his heart: Which military book is on the cloud?

Yun Ting looked admiring: The princess read a lot of books, but she still hasn't seen any military books she has read for three months!

"Cough cough..." Feng Zhiyao coughed lightly and asked for advice respectfully, "The princess means to defeat the enemy without fighting? This... I'm afraid it's not that easy?" Even if the Xiling Emperor was really a stupid official from the Xiling court, he would not agree to give the imperial city to them. That is the imperial city, the capital of a country, not a potato!

Ye Li smiled and said, "Will we wait and see if we see it?"

Zhang Qilan frowned and asked, "We don't attack the city, then... what should we do if there is a large army coming to rescue?" Mo Xiuyao glanced at him faintly and said, "How to deal with it? Of course, it's killing! I don't have to worry about him in the imperial city. During this period, any Xiling army coming to support will be killed by the king!"

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to fight. However, they must have more advantages in field battles than siege battles.

"Sir, obey the order!" Everyone responded in unison, Feng Zhiyao was thinking, in fact... this is also a kind of attack?

"Your Majesty, the princess, someone outside the camp came out of the Xiling Imperial City to ask for a visit." The guard at the door came in and reported.

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?"

The guard said, "It was said that it was the fourth son of the Xu family, but he did not have the token of the Prince's Mansion, so..." Xu Qingbai was different from Xu Qingchen and Xu Qingze who often lived in Licheng, and he was also different from Xu Qingfeng who was in the military camp. There were not many people in the Mo family army who knew him. In particular, there were even fewer ordinary soldiers in the lower class who knew him, so according to the rules, they had to come in first to report before they could put the people in the camp.

Ye Li was happy when she heard this, "Is the Fourth Brother here?"

Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li and stood up and smiled, "Since that's the case, let's go out to welcome the Fourth Young Master. I think he will bring us good news." Everyone was also curious, how could the Fourth Young Master of the Xu family be in Xiling Imperial City? More importantly, what kind of good news will he bring to them?

The group walked outside the camp, and someone had already come out to greet Xu Qingbai. It was Xu Qingfeng who happened to meet when he was free to go out and wandered around. Seeing that his fourth brother, who should be nesting in the northwest, who grew potatoes in the northwest, appeared strangely in Xiling, and came out of the imperial city, Xu Qingfeng was shocked. He pulled Xu Qingbai for a long time and found that there was no damage at all, and then asked, "Fourth brother, why are you here? Do you know that aunt?"

When facing the third brother's unconcealed relationship, Xu Qingbai shook his head in a good mood and said with a smile: "Third brother, it seems that you are doing well?"

Xu Qingfeng was full of spirit in his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Of course, your third brother made a lot of contributions this time. Qin Feng said that he would be promoted to the deputy commander of Qilin when he went back." Although Xu Qingfeng also understood that there was a bit of his cousin's affection among them. After all, he was not the only commander of the team who made meritorious contributions, but he also knew that Qin Feng was definitely not a person who was not apart from public or private affairs, which at least showed that Qin Feng recognized his ability.

"Then I'm going to congratulate my third brother." Xu Qingbai smiled. Xu Qingfeng smiled and said, "You haven't told me why you are here yet? If the eldest aunt knew that you came here, wouldn't it be scared to death!"

Xu Qingbai smiled helplessly and said, "My father and brother know that when I have nothing to do, I will write a letter to go back to hug Ping'an. Third brother, I have something to do to meet Li'er and King Ding."

"Third Brother..." As he was speaking, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao had already walked out first, and there was a huge string behind him, which made Xu Qingbai feel a little flattered.

"How?" Mo Xiuyao asked lightly.
