The Era of Generals

Chapter 238: The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages

cooperate?

Chen Ze frowned and thought, cooperate with the Bailie Empire?

He is very clear about the purpose of Yan Haomiao leading an army of one million to appear here. It is not to plot against Nantes Province, but the most important province south of the Zhuyan Empire, Fengqi Province!

The borders of the four countries intersect each other. As far as the Qingyang Empire's Anluo Province is concerned, the main opponent is the Zhuyan Empire's Nante Province.

There has been friction between Anluo Province and Nantes Province for many years, and I don't know how many battles have been fought, so that most people in these two provinces focus on each other.

But the world is not that big, just next door, the Fengqi Province of the Zhuyan Empire and the Mohe Province of the Bailie Empire are also at war, and the strength of these two provinces is far higher than that of Anlonante , it is conceivable that the battle situation in these two major provinces is tragic.

As the commander-in-chief of Mohe Province, Yan Haomiao naturally wanted to capture Fengqi Province, and now is his chance.

The army of the Bailie Empire was found here, which made Chen Ze instantly think that this Yan Haomiao did not run to Nantes Province on a temporary basis, but had planned it long ago.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he was able to gather an army of more than one million in this canyon in such a short period of time. This was clearly planned early in the morning.

Since when?

The map he had just seen not long ago appeared in Chen Ze's mind.

If the Bailie Empire wants to march here from the Mohe Province without being noticed, it has to travel a long distance and be surrounded by the periphery of the Fengqi Province, so that it can sneak into the Nantes Province in the rear. So count the time...

probably...

Thinking of this, Chen Ze looked at Yan Haomiao with surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "General Yan Shen was already arranging this matter when he just raised his troops to attack Bo'an City in Nantes Province!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Yan Haomiao, but Luo Zongbing Luo Bei stared in surprise on Chen Ze's face.

"You mean, when Zhang Chengwang just arrived at Bo'an City, he had already led his troops out?"

Zongbing Luo was surprised for a moment, imitating Yan Haomiao's marching route in his mind, and his heart sank.

As Chen Ze said, if he wants to transport such a huge force to Nantes Province without anyone noticing, it will take a long time.

Can……

"Are you so sure?"

General Luo looked at Yan Haomiao coldly, "With such a big fanfare, if my Qingyang Empire loses this battle, wouldn't it be a waste of your trip?"

From Chen Ze's words just now, General Luo also realized that Yan Haomiao's presence here was definitely not trying to plot against Nantes Province.

Of course, because of Zhang Chengwang's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, Nantes Province's troops are empty, and it is not difficult to defeat them with his million-strong army. After all, they only sent 500,000 troops from the Qingyang Empire, and they took them all. The three main cities of Nantes.

But Yan Haomiao's situation is different from Yang Mingzhong's.

Although Yan Haomiao has an army of one million, he has no backup support. One less soldier is one less, and he cannot get supplements from his own country.

On the other hand, Yang Mingzhong, although he only has 500,000 troops, he has the support of Anluo Province and even the entire Qingyang Empire behind him. He rushed from Bo'an City to Tel City, and he only had to march for ten days. Yan Haomiao's Mo He How long will it take for the province to send troops to the province of Nantes?

About two to three months!

When the reinforcements arrived, the day lily was cold.

You must know that the reason why the Fengqi Province has not taken any action at this time is because it wants to guard against the Bailie Empire's taking advantage of it, but if they find out that the person who captured the Nantes Province is the old opponent Yan Haomiao and Bai What will Fengqi Province do if the Lie Empire has a million-strong army?

Knowing that the Mohe Province has sent a large number of troops to expedition to the Nantes Province, the Fengqi Province has two choices.

First, it is not impossible to send a large number of troops to support Nantes Province, join forces from the Zhu Yan Empire, and kill Yan Haomiao, or even directly destroy him in Nantes Province.

Second, regardless of the province of Nantes, counterattack the province of Mohe, which has a larger territory and greater interests, and implement a one-for-one policy, using one province of Nantes in exchange for the province of Mohe.

No matter which choice you make, it will make Yan Haomiao feel uncomfortable, and even Mohe Province will also feel uncomfortable.

What's more, the current situation is Zhang Chengwang's defeat, which happened not long ago. It is impossible for Yan Haomiao to predict, so what if Zhang Chengwang wins?

He came all the way to attack Nantes Province, and Zhang Chengwang who got the news only needed to turn around to attack Fengqi Province back and forth. Instead, he forced Zhang Chengwang's army who had invaded Anluo Province to retreat, which was equivalent to Yan Haomiao's attack. Use your own life, plus the lives of millions of soldiers, to rescue the Qingyang Empire.

Based on Luo Zongbing's understanding of Yan Haomiao, he would never do such a thing of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

So, what is he doing here?

Facing Zongbing Luo's question, Yan Haomiao smiled and said, "The old man once taught you a word, do you still remember it?"

Without waiting for Mr. Luo to answer, he gave the answer himself: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If you do it, you have a 50% chance. If you don't do it, it will always be zero."

"It's nothing more than a little consumption of food, grass and supplies. My Bailie Empire can still afford to lose it, but if I don't come, wouldn't I just regret it in the city lord's mansion right now?"

These words left Zongbing Luo speechless.

Yes, here he is analyzing various pros and cons, the premise is that Yan Haomiao came out to attack Nantes province as an assumption, but what if the other party does not come out?

He just lurks secretly, just like what he is doing now, only hiding an army of over one million in this wide canyon, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

If there is an opportunity, then seize it, if not, just go back and forth from wherever.

For Yan Haomiao's Bailie army, what they lost was indeed only food and grass.

The strength of the Bailie Empire ranks first in the mainland, and if the family has a big business, what does it matter if it loses some food and grass?

But if the bet is right and Zhang Chengwang defeats the Anluo Province, what they get in exchange for these food and grass as bargaining chips will be a huge benefit that is thousands of times and tens of thousands of times!

So, why can't you gamble?

The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages!

So that's why Yan Haomiao appeared here.

"Are you a dog with such a good nose?"

After thinking about the key points, Luo Zongbing said to Yan Haomiao angrily.

"Is this the attitude towards the teacher?"

Yan Haomiao shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "I have accepted you as a disciple in my whole life, and I have taught you with all my heart when I was in the Qingyang Empire. I didn't expect that your understanding is not as good as this little brother Chen. Didn’t you see the old man’s purpose until now?”

Chen Ze, who hadn't spoken all this time, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "General Yan Shen doesn't have to make such a plan to sow discord, does he?"
