Chapter 976 Compromise and use on the battlefield (2)
"I am joining forces with General Zhao, can the princess be sure to arrive at Hangu Pass within half a month?" Lei Tengfeng asked.
"No." Ye Li said frankly. Quick battles require the right time, place, and people, and often they are indispensable. Not every battle can be controlled or damaged, otherwise there would be no time for a war to last for three to five years. Although they do not have the advantage of their military strength at present, both Ye Li and Lu Jinxian are confident that they can beat Zhao Lian and Lei Tengfeng. But the problem is... it takes a long time.
Lei Tengfeng was a little surprised that Ye Li was so frank. However, he soon understood that Ye Li also knew what he was going to do. Otherwise, he would not be so direct. He smiled helplessly and said with a helpless smile: "It seems that he can't hide it from the princess. I plan to withdraw the troops immediately and ask the princess for convenience."
Ye Li smiled and said, "It's convenient for others and for yourself. Just ask Prince Lei for help."
Lei Tengfeng looked at Ye Li with some doubts, "The princess knows why she withdraws the troops?"
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Isn't it to defend Fu's wings for King Zhennan?"
"Since the princess knows... leaving it, wouldn't it destroy the layout of King Ding?" Even after so many years, Lei Tengfeng still felt that he couldn't understand this woman. But after going through too much and hearing too much about her reality, Lei Tengfeng had to deal with it carefully. Ye Li looked at the stream in front of him and said calmly: "If the prince is let go, the prince's layout may only be destroyed. And... the prince may not be able to stop him, right? But if this concubine does not let the prince go, Yun Ting's army of more than 100,000 will immediately suffer. Which one is more important, how can I not tell me?"
Lei Tengfeng was stunned for a moment, and finally bowed to Ye Li and said, "Since that's the case, thank you for your fulfillment. I'll say goodbye."
"Let's go slowly and don't send you off." Ye Li nodded and said.
Watching Lei Tengfeng's figure disappear in the woods, Zhuo Jing said in a deep voice: "Princess, Xiling can be regarded as having fun with Mo Jingli in this way." Ye Li smiled and said with a smile: "From the beginning, Lei Zhenting did not take Mo Jingli seriously." Mo Jingli and Lei Zhenting's own abilities were not equal, so how could they ask Lei Zhenting to truly regard Mo Jingli as a collaborator? From beginning to end, Mo Jingli was just a tool that Lei Zhenting fiddled with.
"Once Lei Tengfeng withdrew, Mo Jingli lost Mu Jingmin and Mu Yang again, I'm afraid he won't last long." Zhuo Jing said. Qin Feng frowned and said, "Even so, Mo Jingli's troops are still above us. It is unlikely that we will go back to assist the prince in the near future."
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "That depends on how long Mo Jingli can last."
Qin Feng and Zhuo Jing both remembered the arrangements they had when they went to Nanjing. It was really hard to say how long Mo Jingli could last.
Lei Tengfeng walked quickly and quickly, without any mercy. When Zhao Lian and Lu Jinxian returned from a battle, the barracks had already been empty. Zhao Lian had no choice but to order people to report the matter to Mo Jingli.
When the news reached Mo Jingli's camp, Mo Jingli was also furious. The reason was that the Marquis of Mu Yang, who was imprisoned in the army, mysteriously disappeared. In the past few days, Mo Jingli's anger rose sharply. The soldiers in the entire camp were all silent, cautious, fearing that something would make the emperor angry.
Mo Jingli deeply felt that everything was not going well from beginning to end this expedition. And these days he was even more worried and could not get along. First, he suspected that the Muyang Marquis Mansion betrayed him and surrendered to the Ding Prince's Mansion. Before the matter was revealed, Mu Yang dared to kill his guards. When he sent Gao Ming to capture Mu Yang, he did not expect Mu Yang and Gao Ming fell into the hands of the Mo family army together, and Mu Yang regarded it as a suicide. In this way, he, who had previously suspected that Muyang Marquis Mansion had defected to the Ding Prince's Mansion, seemed to outsiders like a foolish clown, and was played with by the Ding Prince's Mansion.
Just when Mo Jingli was considering whether to release Mu Yang Hou to comfort him or kill Yongjue's future troubles, news of Mu Yang Hou's mysterious disappearance came from the camp. Before Mo Jingli could even send a fire, Zhao Lian's quick horse letter made Mo Jingli couldn't help but vomit blood. A few months ago, Ye Ying's knife was very severe, but it was not completely cured. In the past few days, Mo Jingli's liver fire rose, and now he was so angry that he finally vomited blood.
"Emperor!" The generals below were also shocked when they saw this. They just didn't know what the memorial said, but they actually made the emperor so angry.
Mo Jingli waved his hand to the eunuch who came forward to support him, wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips, and sneered: "What a Lei Tengfeng! I passed my order, and the right-wing general led the way to intercept Lei Tengfeng's troops! Be sure to catch me in one go!"
"Emperor?!" the generals couldn't help but exclaim. The reason why they were confident in the Northern Expedition was because they formed an alliance with Xiling. Now they have not yet seen any achievements in confronting the Mo family army, but they have started fighting with their allies first. What will be the ending waiting for them in the end is obvious.
"Please think twice." A general standing in front stood up and set out: "Our army is now confronting the Mo family army. If we have another conflict with the Xiling army, it is probably a blessing for the fishermen of the Ding Prince's Mansion. Among the last generals... the most important thing for our army now is to first wipe out the more than 100,000 Mo family army led by Yun Ting outside Hangu Pass. At that time, even if Princess Ding and Lu Jinxian's army fight to Hangu Pass, they will inevitably be unable to support themselves and fall into the siege of our army."
The sudden break of the contract by the prince of Zhennan of Xiling did surprise and anger everyone. However, not everyone was as angry as Mo Jingli and did everything. Even if Lei Tengfeng took people away and left them to face the Mo family army alone, they were not at the point of losing. But if the emperor had a dispute with the prince of Zhennan of Zhennan, he would have been defeated. Lu Jinxian did not have such a good deed before he started fighting after they had finished the internal strife.
Mo Jingli was silent for a while, and finally snorted and listened to his subordinate's advice. There was no benefit in fighting with Lei Tengfeng at this time, so why didn't Mo Jingli know? But he had just been slapped hard by the Ding Prince's Mansion, and turned around and was slandered by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Mo Jingli couldn't swallow this tone.
After a long time, he heard Mo Jingli say in a deep voice: "Concentrate all the troops, within three days, I will see Yun Ting's head!?" Mo Jingli, who had nowhere to vent his anger, could only vent his anger on Yun Ting, who was stationed outside the pass.
"The last general will receive the order!" The generals below all breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to Lei Tengfeng, Yun Ting is naturally easier to deal with. Moreover, whether from the situation or the current situation, Yun Ting is the first target they need to eliminate.
