Zhuo Jing nodded, "Subordinate obeys the order."

Ye Li looked back and showed a provocative smile to a place in the distance.

"Is that the Princess of Ding?" King Zhennan asked in a deep voice.

The generals who followed him looked at the white-clothed woman on the head of the city, and hesitated for a moment, "It seems that she is the Princess of Ding." In fact, there are not many people who have actually seen Princess of Ding, but at this time, the woman who can appear on the Jiangxia City Tower with the Mo family army should be Princess of Ding. After looking at it for a long time, the King of Zhennan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Okay! Interesting... Is Princess of Ding? It is said that the women of Dong Chu are weak, but this Princess of Ding is not as good as my noble lady in Xiling. No wonder she was able to do it at the beginning.

It scared Princess Lingyun to the point of being confused." The generals around him had a stiff smile on their faces. I wonder if they should agree with the praise of King Zhennan for Princess Ding. Now, the Princess Ding destroyed their plan to take Jiangxia today. Moreover, the soldiers who rushed into Jiangxia City before were afraid that they would be in danger now. In this way, the troops they lost in Jiangxia's small city had exceeded the total of all the lost forces during this period. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the Xiling Army.

"Prince, the soldiers rushing into the city..."

The King of Zhennan waved his hand and shook his head and said, "It's too late, I'll attack the city with all my might! Capture the princess alive and reward the thousand-house marquis!"

"yes."

Near the evening, Xiling finally Mingjin withdrew its troops. It is unwise to continue such an uninterrupted fierce attack without knowing how many reinforcements the Mo family army has. If the strength of the two armies is almost the same, it is likely that both sides will suffer losses in the end. Moreover, this is the local area of ​​Dongchu, and Dongchu can continuously replenish troops and food at any time. After the harvest in Xinyang is obviously lower than expected, they must be cautious everywhere, otherwise it will only make themselves worse than a place of doom. Seeing the Xiling army retreating rapidly with Mingjin's horn, the people on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief. The remaining soldiers from Jiangxia City could not help but cheer.

Yuan Pei walked to Ye Li in a half-dry bloody clothes and scars, "The last general Jiang Xia guard Yuan Pei met the princess!"

Ye Li quickly reached out and held him to kneel down, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work in the old general. It's because I am late, so I will suffer."

Yuan Pei looked moved, and a suspicious water light flashed in his blood-covered eyes. He whispered loudly: "Mr. General Mo dare not. General Mo is incompetent, so Jiang Xia almost fell into the hands of Xiling, and he dare not say hesitation." Ye Li smiled faintly and said: "The situation is forced by the general. We don't need to dig into these matters again. The general will take people down to rest and rest. Let Jiang Xia be given a temporary leave for now." Yuan Pei nodded heavily, and Feng Zhiyao stood behind Ye Li and smiled: "General Yuan, please rest assured that Feng San will never let the people of Xiling cross Jiangxia."

Yuan Pei was not polite and bowed: "It will be hard for General Feng to do this."

After re-arranged the city defense, Ye Li turned around and went down the city tower. As soon as she walked down the city tower, she saw Leng Qingyu standing under the city with a bloody sword, looking blank. After thinking about it, Ye Li still stepped forward and asked, "General Leng, is it okay?" Leng Qingyu raised his head and looked at Ye Li, and smiled bitterly and said, "What's wrong with defeated generals?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and not all of this is General Leng's fault. Take care of him." Leng Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Thank you, the princess."

Watching Ye Li leave, Leng Qingyu looked at the long sword in his hand and inserted it into the sheath. Princess Ding said that it was not his fault this time, but now he is the only one who can bear the responsibility for failure. Fortunately... Jiang Xia is still there, and the Mo family army has arrived.

"General Leng." Leng Qingyu turned around and was about to leave, and the voice of Nan Hou came from behind.

Nanhou stood on the street, obviously older and tired than the last time he met. The war had just begun, but many of them seemed to be ten years older. Nanhou looked at Leng Qingyu for a long time before asking in a deep voice: "General Leng, don't you know... is there any news about the dog?"

Leng Qingyu said sadly: "That day the enemy attacked, and the prince brought a team of men to draw the attention of the enemy... The whole army was destroyed... Marquis, sorry..."

"I understand." Nan Hou's eyes gradually faded away, and he sighed and said in a low voice. He didn't even say goodbye to Leng Qingyu, and turned around. Leng Qingyu looked at Nan Hou's lonely and bleak figure and felt a bone-broken cold for no reason. Once, he yearned for this galloping on the battlefield. He believed that the battlefield was passionate and was attracted by countless people. But now, after a defeat, he understood the coldness and pain under such passionate blood.

Jiangxia is a small town, and Ye Li and his group temporarily live in General Pei Yuan’s Mansion. The so-called General Pei Yuan is just a small courtyard in Jiangxia City. With veterans like Yuan Pei Zhang Qilan, no matter how to pull anyone out, they will never be inferior to General Zhenguo, Murong Shen and others. However, because they are generals of the Mo family army, they suppressed and lived in a corner indefinitely and could never truly get the glory and honor that should belong to them.

Because of Ye Li's arrival, Yuan Pei stacked his wife and children from the main yard to the folk remedy in the backyard. Understanding Yuan Pei's intentions and loyalty to the Ding Prince's Mansion, Ye Li did not refuse and chose a room to live in. Before he could clean up, he washed up casually and went to the front hall to discuss the war with everyone. When Ye Li stepped into the study, the study was already full of people sitting in the room. He was discussing something fiercely. When he saw Ye Li come in, he calmed down. Yuan Pei personally went up to ask Ye Li to sit on the main seat. After Ye Li sat down, he reorganized his clothes and went forward and solemnly said, "I would like to thank the princess for helping her life."

Ye Li sighed helplessly and signaled Zhuo Jing, who was standing beside him to step forward and help Yuan Pei up.

"General Yuan, just these empty rituals are gone, get up and talk." Ye Li said seriously.

Yuan Pei stood up and returned to his seat to sit down, saying, "Report to the princess, now that Xiling has 300,000 soldiers outside Jiangxia City, it is obvious that Jiangxia is bound to win. The last general will receive news, and the two armies from the north and south are also faintly moving towards Jiangxia. Once the three armies reunite, nearly 500,000 troops will be besieged Jiangxia. Even though our army is extremely brave, the small people in Jiangxia are weak and the military supplies are scarce. At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the siege of the 500,000 troops. Please make plans early."

Ye Li nodded and said, "Thank you, General Yuan, for reminding me. I know what I know. As for the issue of food and grass, there is no need to worry. The court will naturally send enough food and grass. Nanhou and Prince Mu, do you think so?"
