"Is he preparing?"

Yan Haomiao was obviously stunned when he heard his subordinate's report, and then his brows furrowed deeply.

Yan Haomiao actually didn't have much hope when he sent someone to find Chen Ze.

After all, since the last time General Luo brought reinforcements, although both sides did not say it openly, they knew privately that the alliance they had verbally entered into had collapsed.

It's just that for their own different purposes, neither of them pierced this last layer of window paper.

Yan Haomiao has stationed troops here, and the Zhu Yan Empire does not dare to move lightly. It is the Qingyang Empire that is worried about it. However, Chen Ze is stationed in Xifeng City. The Zhu Yan Empire does not dare to take it back at all costs, because it is also the Bai Lie Empire that is worried about it.

The two sides were like each other's horns, which made the Zhu Yan Empire feel concerned.

At this time, the Zhu Yan Empire rushed out desperately, and it was hard to tell whether there was any trace of Chen Ze in it.

Yan Haomiao couldn't figure it out. If the Zhu Yan Empire didn't know that their alliance was in name only, how could it have the courage to take the initiative and take the risk of losing Fengqi Province?

It was precisely because of this concern that he sent someone to test Chen Ze's attitude after the matter was over.

In fact, there is no hope anymore. The purpose of finding out Chen Ze's attitude is to allow him to make the final decision.

withdraw troops!

A missed opportunity is a missed opportunity. Yan Haomiao knew very well what kind of mistakes he had made, but now was naturally not a good time to review himself. He had more important things to do.

He had to make a decision quickly while his supplies and food supplies were still sufficient.

Fight or go?

If we fight, as the opponent's defenses are gradually completed, the chance of a decisive battle becomes increasingly slim.

The Zhu Yan Empire did not forcibly drive Yan Haomiao's army into the interior of Nantes Province. They also knew very well that after losing this hard-won geographical advantage, the opponent could crush them to death based on their numerical superiority alone.

.

So it didn't matter to them. As long as Yan Haomiao didn't give the order to attack, they could wait for them to see if they wanted to, and then frantically built the fortification under the eyes of the enemy, which was a sighing wall for Yan Haomiao.

So Yan Haomiao watched helplessly as a tall and thick fortification rose from the ground.

When his subordinates responded to Chen Ze's reply, he had even seen engineers from the Zhu Yan Empire pouring copper oil on the outer walls of the repaired wooden fortifications.

This place was really built as a city wall!

Yan Haomiao was actually desperate. To break through such a fortification, the price must be huge, not to mention that even after breaking in, he would still have to face the thick wall of Dongping City.

If the two forces offset each other, how much strength will he have left in the end?

This is still based on the fact that he can defeat two defenses. If one fails, or the Qingyang Empire suddenly rebels, Yan Haomiao, who is attacked by both sides, will have no choice but to be defeated.

He has not forgotten that there is a person in the Qingyang Empire's camp who has a deep hatred for him, and this person's military rank and status in the Qingyang Empire are not low.

This person is General Luo!

Forced by the situation before, Mr. Luo had no choice but to put aside the grudge for the time being, but this does not mean that the two of them just laughed away their grudge.

Even because of the reason why he used force to suppress him in the first place, General Luo was even more angry, but he just suppressed it forcefully.

Once there is an opportunity, even if Chen Ze doesn't want to do anything, he will never let him go.

Better go.

Yan Haomiao already wanted to quit, but at this moment, his subordinates brought back the news that Chen Ze was preparing?

Chen Ze...is preparing!

Is this true, or is Chen Ze just deceiving him?

What made Yan Haomiao hesitate was the benefits if what Chen Ze said was true.

The statement that Chen Ze asked Wu Anguo to say that he was preparing was not just a casual comment, but a strategy that was decided after putting himself in Yan Haomiao's current situation.

First of all, the sentence "preparations are being made" rather than the army setting out was worth Yan Haomiao's thought for a long time.

Calculating time, from the time when Dongping City took the initiative, to the brief battle between the two parties, to when Yan Haomiao retreated and saw the opponent building fortifications, this period of time was neither long nor short.

On Chen Ze's side, there are enemy troops under Xifeng City, but the threat is not great, so Chen Ze should have scouts outside to find out the news.

When the scouts discovered the situation, they returned to Xifeng City and reported to Chen Ze. Finally, Chen Ze began to prepare troops. The time just matched.

After all, as far as Xifeng City is concerned, sending troops for reinforcements does require certain preparations. They must first break through the enemy camp outside the city before they can come over.

"I'm preparing" is a very honest answer.

If Chen Ze said he was on the way, Yan Haomiao would not believe him at all.

So will Chen Ze really come?

Just as Chen Ze thought, Yan Haomiao also knew very well what kind of blow it would cause to the Zhu Yan Empire if Chen Ze sent troops to cooperate with him internally and externally.

No matter how strong the fortifications are, they can only take care of one side in such a short time. It is impossible for both sides to be equally strong. If Chen Ze can launch an attack from inside, the difficulty will be reduced exponentially.

Once this comes true, it can become the winner of the entire war!

With Chen Zezhi's help, Yan Haomiao is confident that he can seize the entire Fengqi Province in one fell swoop based on his previous plan!

This temptation is not small, so great that Yan Haomiao is sure that he doubts Chen Ze's words, but he doesn't want to let it go easily.

Even in his mind, he was subconsciously looking for reasons for Chen Ze's behavior.

For example, although there was a conflict between the two, it did not really break out after all, and Chen Ze currently occupies Xifeng City in Fengqi Province, which is a great achievement for him.

And if Yan Haomiao retreats, the Zhu Yan Empire, which has no enemies, will definitely turn around and attack Xifeng City. By then, Chen Ze will not be able to withstand it. It is not impossible for him to make this decision under the desperation.

For another example, Chen Ze thought for himself. After capturing Fengqi Province, the news that the Zhu Yan Empire lost two provinces in a row will spread throughout the entire continent at an extremely fast speed, and everyone will know that on this continent,

A new military star has risen.

Once he became famous all over the world, although Chen Ze was a smart man, he was still young, so it was not impossible that he could not resist the temptation of fame.

How many years has it been since the mainland had a major incident in which a province of a certain country was conquered?

As a small co-leader, Chen Ze's shadow was behind the loss of the two major provinces of the Zhu Yan Empire. What a great honor this is?
