Several days had passed since Di Changfeng returned from the failed ambush of Qi Yunqian. During this period, Ning Yujin used various threats and inducements to let him come over, but he always refused with various excuses.
When Ning Yujin rolled up her sleeves angrily and was about to go over to deal with the people, she didn't expect that he would actually come to the door on his own initiative.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he ignored her and hurried straight to Mo Jingxiao, who was arranging the battle situation on the sand table. It was obvious that something big had happened.
Mo Jingxiao placed a small flag on a hill on the sand table, raised his head and looked at Di Changfeng: "What's wrong? In such a hurry?"
Di Changfeng stretched out his hand and said, "Our scouts found some horse hoof prints in a forest near Fengming Mountain."
"Fengming Mountain?" Mo Jingxiao frowned, "Our food and grass will pass there in two days, and Dong Qi may send troops to ambush."
Di Changfeng nodded: "I think so too."
"In this way," Mo Jingxiao raised his hand and said to Di Changfeng, "you arrange for a capable person to lead a group of troops over, use sand as military rations, and use the general's trick. You send another 10,000 troops to support and fight
He was caught off guard!"
"Yes!" Di Changfeng immediately turned around and went out after receiving the order. Ning Yujin greeted him at the side, but he seemed not to notice.
"Hey, this guy!"
Ning Yujin bared her teeth and secretly thought about how to deal with him properly when she had the opportunity.
Mo Jingxiao came over and rubbed her head: "He only wants to avenge the old man, so don't provoke him."
"Oh." Ning Yujin pursed her lips and leaned against Mo Jingxiao.
On the second day of August in the second year of Tianyou's reign, the Battle of Fengming Mountain began, annihilating 5,000 Qi troops and injuring 782 Zhendong troops. The first battle was successful and morale was greatly boosted.
The next day, the scouts in front of the battle came to report that the Eastern Qi army had taken a false shot in order to seize the grain. Thirty thousand Qi troops had crossed the river at night and seized the high ground of Yunbie Mountain.
On the sixth day of August, the North Vietnamese army aligned and declared war, and faced the Qi army in Ye, forming a two-sided attack.
On August 13, a decree came from Shengjing, appointing King Mo Jingxiao as the Grand Marshal of the Ding Army. He was in charge of the war in the east and north. He had the power to dispatch millions of troops. He could arrange and dispatch all the troops and horses by himself without having to report separately.
"Mo Ye is finally willing to let go of his power." Ning Yujin couldn't help but sigh.
But what’s the difference between letting it go or not?
Not to mention that the Xiaozi camp was originally under Mo Jingxiao's command, even the Zhendong Army, Di Changfeng also gave up his position after his arrival. Mo Ye's decree was just a matter of borrowing money from others and pushing the boat along.
At least it can be thought that this power was given to Mo Jingxiao by him, and it would be smoother to take it back after the war.
Xiaozi is well-replenished, has strong soldiers and horses, has several capable generals, and has been fighting the North Vietnamese Army for many years, so the fight is not strenuous, and he has won several small victories in succession.
But here the Zhendong Army faced the Eastern Qi Army, and the situation was not optimistic.
If Murong Xuan was called an old fox before, then Qi Yunqian should call him a thousand-year fox demon, as if he had become a spirit.
However, Mo Jingxiao was not afraid either. He knew things well, used troops quickly, fought strangely, and attacked quickly and violently, which frightened many Qi troops.
The two sides fought for each other, and each used their own unique moves. In a short period of time, the situation was evenly matched, with no one taking advantage of the other.
Ning Yujin saw Mo Jingxiao coming in and out, hurriedly, not taking off his armor at night, and became worried, but she couldn't do anything for him. She could only lead a group of military doctors to save the wounded one by one.
In November of the same year, Shengjing came to report that Queen Shen was born, a little prince. Mo Ye named him Pojun, which means that we Daye soldiers will defeat the enemy as soon as possible and protect our family and country!
The development in Xizhou was also very strange. Murong Xuan sent someone the news that Iya was going to get married to Ling Yi, and after the marriage, it was very likely that troops would be sent to reinforce Daye.
Later, Ning Yujin learned that after Iya returned, some ambitious leaders of the Mugel tribe united to oust her because she had been away for too long. During this period, Lingyi accompanied her through life and death, and several times tried to protect her. Hurt, even if Murong Xuan doesn't have to take action in the future, the two of them will gradually develop feelings for each other, which is a good thing.
At the same time, good news came from North Vietnam - the North Vietnamese general Wang Bater had an arm cut off during the battle. Now the Vietnamese army was disheartened and had no intention of fighting anymore.
When Ning Yujin heard the news, she jumped up with joy and quickly asked the shadow guard who came to report the news: "Who is this, so powerful?"
The shadow guard smiled and said: "Speaking of him, he is very powerful. He is now the ace of the Xiaozi camp. He can stay awake for three days and three nights and kill the enemy until the sky is dark and the earth is dark. He does not retaliate. He is simply another Shura. God of War!"
Ning Yujin suddenly became interested and asked: "Who is he? Is he really so powerful?"
"I'm not boasting about his abilities, but he is just too weird. His whole body is covered in scars, his skin is frighteningly white, and he never speaks. He is just like a devil coming out of hell. No one knows his name..."
As she listened, Ning Yujin felt that something was not right. She turned her head and looked at Mo Jingxiao, who was drinking tea silently.
She hesitated for a while, then asked tentatively: "Is he..."
Mo Jingxiao nodded and didn't hide it from him: "It's Juehun. His skills increased greatly after he became possessed, but no one remembers it."
At that time, it was just to repay a favor for Ning Yujin, so he was sent to the military camp in the end, but he did not expect that he would now become an important figure in pacifying North Vietnam.
Seriously, fate plays tricks on people.
When Ning Yujin heard this, she laughed softly: "If you don't recognize it, it would be better."
"But..." She folded her arms and raised her head to look at Mo Jingxiao with a smile, "The overall situation has been decided. You are the God of War after all. It's time to settle things here. The Chinese New Year is about to come."
Mo Jingxiao looked at the layout on the sand table and said slowly: "Once North Vietnam collapses, it will be a matter of time to end the Eastern Qi side. Qi Yunqian has more than enough strategy but not enough in actual combat. I may not be his opponent in the court, but on the battlefield, He is still a little bit mature. But... it won't be easy to win."
When Ning Yujin heard this, she understood Mo Jingxiao's biggest concern now: "A lot of people will die, right?"
Mo Jingxiao didn't answer, but his eyes said everything.
Ning Yujin bit her lower lip and paused for a moment, then asked, "What if I could make Dong Qi retreat without any bloodshed?"
"What can you do?" Mo Jingxiao raised his head and looked at Ning Yujin, his expression suddenly became stern, "You are not allowed to do stupid things."
"I know!" Ning Yujin said quickly, "I have another thing that may be useful. It just depends on whether Qi Yunqian admits it or not."
