Chapter 696 ?????? An Unwise Move

Chapter 696   Unwise move

Chen Ze didn't rush to make a conclusion, but gave instructions to Chen Ming and the others to touch the border near Fengqi Province.

However, this walk actually passed directly through the pass where Yan Haomiao was in a desperate battle, and came to the vicinity of Dongping City, and then stopped.

There is still no secret whistle.

So, there is only one possibility.

That is... Dongping City has fallen into the hands of Cheng Hong!

Otherwise, it would not be able to explain why Cheng Hong was so relieved that he did not arrange sentries on the extremely important border.

Because there is no need.

For Chen Ze, this was the border between Nantes Province and Fengqi Province, but for Cheng Hong, it was just one of the many cities he conquered.

In other words, in Cheng Hong's case, Dongping City is not a border line, but an inland city. Naturally, there is no need to deliberately guard against the problem of borders or borders.

Is it this bad already?

Chen Ze frowned, and asked Chen Ming and the others to stop first, instead of rushing to inquire about the situation in Dongping City.

At this time, he didn't want to reveal to Cheng Hong that he had left the vicinity of Juhe City, because it was also an invisible pressure for Cheng Hong, and it would make the other party consider the fact that he was hiding behind him no matter what decision he made. side situation.

This will undoubtedly relieve Ouyang Lixing's pressure a lot.

Chen Ze also believed that he now had enough energy to make Cheng Hong fear him.

So what's going on with the situation in Dongping City right now?

He frowned. Not long ago, he had received news from Mr. Hua, which was why he didn't let Li Quan'an come to Nantes Province.

With Li Quan'an around, he can be a liaison officer. Whenever there is new news from Mr. Hua, Li Quan'an will follow up, and then find a reason to secretly send the content of the information to Chen Ze from the system.

So although Chen Ze has always been in Nantes Province, he is not ignorant of the situation in Fengqi Province.

To be honest, the situation in Fengqi Province is not optimistic.

Although the main city of Fengqi Province has not been breached yet, the Bailie Empire, who saw the right opportunity, sent several small troops to secretly sneak into Fengqi Province from various weak points of defense.

Of course, it's a secret, but it's not really a secret. The temporary commander of Fengqi Province is also aware of the enemy's approach.

This is also the reason why the Bailie Empire did not deliberately hide its whereabouts.

For them, if the news that they sent a small team to secretly sneak into Fengqi Province is known by the other party, it would not be a bad thing if they want to divide their troops to stop these troops.

It just happened to reduce the pressure on them to attack the main city of Fengqi Xing Province in the frontal battlefield, and they might be able to succeed in one fell swoop.

But the temporary commander seemed to be aware of this, so even though he knew that the enemy was secretly mobilizing troops, he did not dispatch troops stationed in the main city to stop them, but only issued official documents to let the cities in the area be on guard.

As a result, the Bailie Empire acted more recklessly. Slowly, more and more troops sneaked into Fengqi Province, and two or three huge troops could already be assembled.

The consequences can be imagined.

Under the circumstances that the temporary commander could only choose to stick to the main city, Fengqi Province was on fire everywhere, and no less than three cities were facing siege battles every day.

Some of them defended, but they won miserably, while for others, most of them were taken away by Ouyang Lixing because of their strength before, and they couldn't stop the wolf-like Bailie's army at all, and they fell to the point where the city was destroyed. tragedy.

But after all, as long as there is a siege, there will inevitably be losses, so the Bailie Empire has to make some supplements after attacking a few cities, so for now, the flames of war have not spread to the entire Fengqi Province.

This is the content of the information that Chen Ze received from Mr. Hua.

For Chen Ze, this situation should have been more convenient for him to fish in troubled waters and rescue the hostages.

So when he got the token from Ouyang Lixing, he rushed to Fengqi Province non-stop, and it was precisely because he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Fengqi Province to guarantee his mission first.

But just now, near the border between Nantes Province and Fengqi Province, he realized something was wrong.

Hua Lao's intelligence did not mention that Dongping City also fell into Cheng Hong's hands.

In fact, since Cheng Hong began to besiege Juhe City, there has been no problem in Dongping City.

The reason is also conceivable.

The Fengqi Province is now in constant war, and it is already very difficult to deal with the Bailie Empire.

If Cheng Hong launched an attack on Dongping City at such a time, it would be even more irritating to the current commander of Fengqi Province.

If Cheng Hong also controls the border between Nantes Province and Fengqi Province, it means that the other party can send troops into Fengqi Province at any time, which is another big challenge for Fengqi Province. A great risk.

Therefore, if Cheng Hong wanted to attack Dongping City, it would definitely cause a backlash from Fengqi Province. Even under pressure, the opponent withdrew its troops to the main city and led a large force into Nantes Province.

This is a hassle.

Yes, as far as Ouyang Lixing is concerned, Fengqi Province is very important, but what about the others?

What's more, the so-called urgent power, if Fengqi province is attacked by two sides, then it is very likely that it will not be able to defend at all.

That being the case, it is not uncommon to give up one province to save another.

Moreover, Ouyang Lixing was trapped in Yijuhe City, and at this moment, only temporarily assigned generals were commanding the defense in Fengqixing Province.

Who can guarantee that there is no imperial envoy by his side?

The Zhu Yan Empire considers the overall interests, not the gains and losses of a city or a province.

If in the end it is found that Fengqi Province cannot be defended, but Nantes Province seems to have a chance, the high level of the empire may not make a choice and ask to abandon Fengqi Province and reinforce Nantes Province with the whole army.

In short, it is much better to keep one province first than to lose all two provinces.

This is from the perspective of the overall situation.

That's why Cheng Hong couldn't fight Dongping City.

Once he makes a move, it is not impossible for Zhu Yan Empire to make such a choice when he knows he is hopeless.

In this way, before the situation in Fengqi Province is clear, it is also necessary to give the Zhu Yan Empire a glimmer of hope, so it is better not to move.

So at this time, Dongping City, which is a small border city, and even the other three small cities including Xifeng City, became the top priority, and no one dared to move lightly.

This is the most correct way.

Chen Ze believed that if he was in Cheng Hong's position, he would also make a strategy of not moving Dongping City first.

But now why...
