With Mr. Xiuting's help, the situation in Biancheng is much better than they thought. After all, in this chaotic era, Biancheng is not the only one who fights in war. These ordinary people would not easily choose to leave their hometowns if they were not forced to do so. Although Chen Xiufu was not as famous as Mr. Qingyun, at least he had enough prestige in Biancheng. Although some people had some gossip about him surrendering to the Ding Palace, many people still chose to return to Biancheng after hearing the notice written by him.

These ordinary people are very comfortable. Long Yang's actions on the Biancheng city tower gave the Mo family enough reasons to explain Mo Xiuyao's previous actions. Although they were frightened and were still a little scared of the Mo family army, after all... the Mo family army did not kill an ordinary person in the end, right? Among them, perhaps the Mo family army's good reputation over the years has gained considerable importance.

It took two days to settle some important affairs in Biancheng, including the grand funeral of Long Yang and Zhu Yan as a general. Such behavior also made the originally alert people of Biancheng more favorable to the Mo family army. After dealing with these matters, the Mo family army should set out to continue the journey ahead. Although it is believed that with Lu Jinxian, King Zhennan would not be able to come back for rescue so quickly, it is better to make a quick battle in this war. Mo Xiuyao left a small number of soldiers and horses in Biancheng and the people who temporarily commanded Biancheng, and he took people back on the journey early on the third day. In a few days, the northwest would naturally send people to take over Biancheng. They would not be able to leave a large number of soldiers and horses along the way to guard them, and when the Mo family army had not many soldiers and horses to fight.

As soon as he left Biancheng, Mo Xiuyao received a war report from Da Chu. The northern Lenghuai struggled to support the northern army at Zijing Pass, but the Beirong army in the north of Da Chu finally broke through the border of Da Chu. Countless grassland nomadic cavalry rushed into the pass, burning, killing and looting people all the way. At the same time, a large number of people from Da Chu rushed into the northwest, and the figures of Beirong people often appeared in the Feihong Pass area. Although there was no intention to provoke the Mo family army for the time being, Xu Qingchen had to be careful.

However, at this time, the Great Chu court was still not a single piece of iron, and the power struggle for power was even more powerful than before. As the regent, Mo Jingli did not fully devote his efforts to the war. Instead, he secretly planned to immediately give up Chu Jing and retreat to Jiangnan once the enemy approached Chu Jing.

After reading the letter I just received in my hand, Mo Xiuyao threw the letter on the table with a gloomy face and said coldly: "That idiot Mo Jingli!"

Ye Li, who was sitting beside him, picked up the letter and looked at it, and smiled faintly, "The Northern Rong and Xiling are all brave and good at fighting. The troops of the Three Kingdoms arrived together, no wonder Mo Jingli retreated before he was defeated. Leng Haoyu and the others were afraid they could not hold on." Mo Xiuyao pulled Ye Li to sit beside him, lowered his head and rubbed against her black hair and said, "Leng Huai can persist until now, and finally he will live up to his reputation for half his life. If Bei Rong and Xiling were not disturbed, if the Great Chu court supported it together, the outcome would be unknown. It's a pity... the bad luck is not a crime of war."

"Lei Zhenting really doesn't plan to withdraw his troops from the Great Chu?" Ye Li looked at the letter in her hand and asked with a frown.

Mo Xiuyao snorted lightly, "There are 400,000 troops in front of Lu Songxian, and hundreds of thousands of troops in Da Chu are staring at him. In the south, Nanzhao is eyeing him. By the way... and Murong Shen is also 200,000 troops to go north. Lei Zhenting can't retreat even if he wants to retreat. If he turned around but was blocked by Lu Jinxian, he would ask Murong Shen to catch up and join forces with the troops of Da Chu to encircle three sides. Xiling God of War... It is not impossible to be wiped out again. The most important thing is, even if he breaks through Lu Songxian's defense line and catches up, how many troops can he have? And facing the offensives of Nanzhao and small countries in the Western Regions, at that time... he will only have nothing."

Ye Li frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "Then, what do you think he will do?"

Mo Xiuyao rubbed his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, saying, "You can't retreat... Then you can only move forward. If he could seize Jiangnan first, Murong Shen and Mo Jingli... tsk, that would be a bit troublesome." Ye Li had to admit that it would be a bit troublesome if Lei Zhenting took Jiangnan. Not to mention anything else, the wealthy land of Jiangnan is far from comparable to that of Xiling. Once Lei Zhenting occupied it, only a few years of operation will be Lei Zhenting will become the overlord of Jiangnan, and from then on, he will get rid of the identity and restraint of the King of Xiling Town and have stronger strength than now. If this is true, it is hard to say whether they made a profit or lost this battle.

"Forget it, even if you lose money, you will still be Mo Jingli and Da Chu. We must be in the pocket of Xiling." Mo Xiuyao said in a deep voice. There is no other choice in the northwest. They are in fame and they cannot attack Da Chu. In this way, the only choice is Xiling. We can't let the Mo family army go out of the pass and compete with the Beirong people to be nomadic people, right?

Ye Li frowned slightly, thought for a while before laughing, "Maybe we are worried about it. There is still a million troops in Da Chu, and Mo Jingli is not so stupid that Lei Zhenting can easily occupy his territory. Besides, if it really doesn't work, we might as well let General Lu help them again? Maybe it's still time for us to go back." They didn't plan to occupy the entire territory of Xiling. No matter how weak Xiling is, it is a vast country. It is impossible to occupy the entire territory even if it goes smoothly without a few years. As long as they can capture the imperial city of Xiling in the shortest time, things will be much easier in the future.

Mo Xiuyao smiled, lowered his head and kissed Ye Li's eyebrows and said, "Ali is right. Let me think about it... Leng Huai is powerless to turn things around, let Leng Haoyu go back to the northwest." Of course, he would also bring back a famous general for them. Although Leng Huai is old, his level of leading troops is definitely not inferior to Zhang Qilan and Lu Jinxian. The Mo family army has not fought a war for too many years, and there are basically no veterans in the army. The younger generation cannot stand alone, which led to Mo Xiuyao's repeated personal leadership. As for how to make Leng Huai willing to work for the Mo family army, it depends on Leng Haoyu's ability.

Neglecting these, Mo Xiuyao put the battle report on one side and hugged Ye Li to study the map in front of him. Since the Qilin trained by Ye Li, Mo Xiuyao had to admit that he had made much progress in terrain exploration at least than before. In the past, even the most experienced scouts in the Mo family army could not explore and draw such a perfect map with few errors. He even made a perfect battlefield sand table.

"Now Lei Tengfeng has brought 30,000 defeated generals to retreat to Fengcheng. In addition, the original defenders in Fengcheng are no less than 150,000. It doesn't seem difficult, so let the vanguard be handed over to Chen Yun in this battle." He pointed to the location on the map, Mo Xiuyao said.
