The night is deep.

From morning to night on this day, Yan Haomiao was thinking very hard and did not dare to relax for even a moment.

Especially after the Bailie Empire lost its most important pass due to a momentary mistake, Yan Haomiao had so many thoughts in his mind that he didn't even have time to blame himself.

Even though it was getting late and he was on the verge of exhaustion, he could only hold back his sleepiness.

The map of Fengqi Province in his hand was damaged in many places after he looked through it. Even the writing on the location of Dongping City was blurred due to too many clicks.

It is conceivable that Yan Haomiao was under great pressure at this time.

However, just enduring it like this doesn't seem to be an option.

His subordinates have come to persuade him many times to let Yan Haomiao rest first and let them take over his duty, but Yan Haomiao refused to agree to anything.

This battle is related to whether his lifelong wish can be realized. At the same time, it is also related to whether the 1.7 million troops he brought out from Mohe Province can return again.

And the key to all this lies in Chen Ze.

Thinking of this, Yan Haomiao felt even more emotional.

Thinking about how high-spirited he was at the beginning, he reached a consensus with Chen Ze on the surface, but secretly he didn't despise this little co-leader at all. He just wanted to borrow the name of the Qingyang Empire and attack Fengqi Province.

At that time, Chen Ze cleaned up the toilet.

Unexpectedly, in the end, what he stayed up all night waiting for was the good news that Chen Ze could bring him.

At this moment, only Chen Ze is the key to his comeback!

But at the same time, Yan Haomiao's doubts never dissipated.

That's why Dongping City suddenly mobilized a large number of troops to attack him?

And it was a well-planned attack. In that battle, both sides retreated at the first touch, without any loss of troops. However, Yan Haomiao accidentally lost the pass that he did not realize but was extremely important. At this time, he only

You can watch the other side's solid fortifications rising from the ground and sigh with excitement.

The opponent's attack this time can be described as an exquisite layout.

Not only was he well prepared, he also made full use of Yan Haomiao's psychology, causing him to lose favorable terrain in the most unexpected circumstances.

So how did the coach of Dongping City come up with this strategy?

Moreover, there is actually a loophole in his plan!

This loophole is none other than Chen Ze!

Chen Ze was currently in Xifeng City and Dongping City in Fengqi Province, taking such a big risk to drive back Yan Haomiao's army, and also worked overnight to build a strong defense to resist Yan Haomiao's counterattack.

But what about attacking from within?

As long as Chen Ze moves, this solid defense will suddenly appear less solid. Even in the three border cities, there are still at least two million troops available, but Chen Ze does not have to attack forcefully, he only

It would be enough for Yan Haomiao to break through the fortification if he needed to slightly divert the opponent's attention or create some confusion.

When the time comes, Yan Haomiao, who has regained the geographical advantage by cooperating with the outside, can even use the fortifications built by the opponent to deal a heavy blow to the Zhu Yan Empire.

As for Chen Ze, he can withdraw from Xifeng City after the matter is completed. In this case, wouldn't the Zhu Yan Empire have done a useless job?

As long as Chen Ze doesn't remove it in advance, Dongping City's move is indeed unnecessary.

But Chen Ze was still alive and well, but Dongpingcheng ignored Chen Ze's existence and attacked him forcefully. But now he still needs Chen Ze's support.

Is the opponent's commander a fool?

Yan Haomiao couldn't figure it out. How could a commander who could make careful arrangements, including his own mentality, not see the threat far away in Xifeng City?

So, then, there is a problem with Chen Ze!

Yan Haomiao had thought about this problem more than once. However, when he carefully sent his most elite and trustworthy scouts to investigate, the information Lin Xiangyong brought back was that Chen Ze was at war with the Zhu Yan Empire!

What to do?

Yan Haomiao felt that he had never been so confused. No, it should be said that the chaos of the current situation made him even more confused.

He had also thought that this was a plan jointly set up by Chen Ze and the Zhu Yan Empire, just waiting for him to fall into this trap, but after thinking about it more deeply... he felt that there was a high probability that he would not.

After all, the Qingyang Empire is the real enemy that occupies a large province of the Zhu Yan Empire. This enemy is much more hated than this potential threat at this moment.

Even if an enemy's enemy is a friend, it should be the Zhu Yan Empire who came to him for peace talks, turned him into a friend, and then turned around to deal with the Qingyang Empire together.

Although this would cause the Zhu Yan Empire to lose part of its profits, it was still more cost-effective than losing the entire province of Nantes.

To put it bluntly, because of Zhang Chengwang's mistake, the Zhu Yan Empire was definitely going to suffer a loss. The only difference was a matter of size.

At this time, the Zhu Yan Empire went to the Qingyang Empire to join forces?

Then the benefits that need to be ceded must be added to the entire province of Nantes!

And what about yourself?

Probably...

Yan Haomiao put himself in his shoes and thought that he would be able to agree to it if the Zhu Yan Empire gave up half of Fengqi Province.

After giving up half of the Fengqi Province, the Zhu Yan Empire could get back the entire Nantes Province!

Although it is true that it is very painful, but relatively speaking it is the best choice at the moment.

So the Zhu Yan Empire would join forces with the Qingyang Empire just to eat his 1.7 million troops?

What are the benefits?

Apart from solving the potential threat to Fengqi Province, there is no benefit!

This is based on the premise that the Zhu Yan Empire must choose an ally, and Yan Haomiao will be the opponent's first choice!

And as far as Chen Ze is concerned now, he is alone, so how can he still have the right to speak?

Can the other party believe that he agreed to the Zhu Yan Empire at this time?

Although Yan Haomiao is guarding here, he is not completely ignorant of the situation in Nantes Province behind him. He even sent scouts to guard between Nantes Province and Anluo Province. Therefore, he knows even more about the situation in Anluo Province.

Zheng Yuanyun, the commander of Luoxing Province, has almost arrived at Ter City.

As soon as Zheng Yuanyun arrived, what happened to Chen Ze?

If the Zhu Yan Empire wants to discuss cooperation, it will not talk to a small co-leader, but to talk to Zheng Yuanyun.

And Zheng Yuanyun hasn't arrived yet...

It can be seen from this that at this moment, the two empires Zhu Yan and Qingyang have not reached an agreement to join forces.

So, there should be no problem with Chen Ze?

Yan Haomiao stared at the candlelight in a daze, but his thoughts had gone through his mind a thousand times.

And just then...

"My lord, my lord!"
Chapter completed!
