The Era of Generals

Chapter 248 - Old Fox

Chen Ze was speechless.

Strictly speaking, Yan Haomiao's strategy of pulling troops can't be regarded as wrong, but in fact he obviously has a better choice.

If the cooperation last night had been carried out according to Yan Haomiao's arrangement, then Chen Ze believed that this person would definitely lead the 1.6 million troops at hand to attack Fengqi Province from Nantes Province.

The cities where the two provinces intersect are undoubtedly the best to attack. When the time comes, when he makes a move, Mohe Province can also forcefully attack Changping City. It is impossible to attack Fengqi Province from both ends.

It would actually be better to do so.

But Chen Ze did not agree to his cooperation, but put forward additional conditions, so this is the reason why Yan Haomiao changed his strategy.

In the final analysis, Yan Haomiao was still unwilling to give up a complete Fengqi Province, and his promise to Chen Ze was nothing more than an empty promise.

In short, Yan Haomiao agreed to the plan to send troops together, but as for how to fight, he, General Bai Lie, had the final say. With his current strength, it was impossible for Chen Ze to take command of the battlefield.

Therefore, Yan Haomiao apparently agreed to the plan to jointly attack Fengqi Province, but in fact he still left Chen Ze aside, just using his name of the Qingyang Empire. The power is still carried out by his Bailie Empire.

When Changping City is conquered by Mohe Province, Fengqi Province will be regarded as dead in name only. Only then will he make a move here. No matter how Chen Ze directs the army to charge and kill, it will be just a trivial matter. No one will think that The Qingyang Empire really contributed to this battle.

When the time comes, what will I use to ask Yan Haomiao for Xifeng City?

It is morality for the other party to give, and it is reasonable not to give!

Could the Qingyang Empire really be able to fight shamelessly with the Bailie Empire for an insignificant small city?

At that time, it seems self-evident who the Qingyang Empire will vent its anger on, having lost its interests and face.

There is another point.

Fengqi Province has a vast territory, even if it is necessary to increase troops, it will not be within a day or two, but the reinforcements from Bo'an City are coming soon.

When the reinforcements arrive, it means that another high-ranking general will arrive. Not to mention Chen Ze, even Yang Mingzhong, a general at the commanding level, will probably hand over his command and the new high-ranking general will take charge.

But Chen Ze was dragged here.

Will the new commander tolerate Chen Ze leading an army of 100,000 to do nothing here?

Is this military power handed over or not?

The reason why Chen Ze put forward the additional condition to forcibly unite the two empires was because of his own interests. Taking down a city in Fengqi Province would be of great benefit to himself. At the same time, if the battle started, even It is also impossible for the newly appointed commander-in-chief to forcibly change generals before the battle, and he can only order Chen Ze to return the military power after the battle is over.

But right now there is no battle to fight!

Even if General Luo was by his side to say good things for Chen Ze, but this matter was based on sentiment, reason and military law. Chen Ze should surrender his military power, and it was impossible for General Luo to force Chen Ze to retain his military power.

Not only did the military power have to be handed over, Chen Ze might also be punished for the crime of arbitrarily advocating before the war broke out and the benefits could not be clearly seen.

Therefore, Yan Haomiao just changed his strategy and solved Chen Ze's trouble without bloodshed.

No, maybe Chen Ze is just a potential threat in his eyes, and what Yan Haomiao really wants to solve is the Luo Zongbing who has a grudge against him.

It's just half-night contact, but Yan Haomiao can also see that Mr. Luo is very concerned about Chen Ze. He planted a seed for this matter, and maybe there will be an unexpected surprise at that time.

He was still swayed by this old fox.

Chen Ze, who lowered his head and didn't speak again, sneered in his heart. He had already guessed about Yan Haomiao's thoughts.

I have to say that this person is worthy of being a high-ranking general, but he just changed his deployment a little bit. On the premise that the result remains the same, since he has achieved his goal, he put Chen Ze together, which is equivalent to putting Chen Ze on the fence. To roast on the fire, and he himself has no influence.

What's more, Yan Haomiao asked Chen Ze to send his own troops to his army. Of course, the vacancy left for Chen Ze was not random, but carefully arranged.

As long as Chen Ze is not stupid and Yan Haomiao's attitude is reversed, it is not difficult to find that it is a breeze for the other party to annihilate his troops in one fell swoop.

This might not be a move to restrain Chen Ze.

So, Chen Ze, who has already stepped into Yan Haomiao's trap, what else can he do?

At least in Yan Haomiao's mind, he already has the chance to win. As for Chen Ze?

Heh, besides shivering in the army formation, what else can he do?

The moment he raised his head, Chen Ze caught a glimpse of the sneer at the corner of Yan Haomiao's mouth, so he no longer doubted his guess.

He didn't say anything at the moment, but showed a worried look and said: "General Yan, I don't think it's appropriate to stand by here!"

"oh?"

Yan Haomiao frowned slightly, and said with a half-smile, "How do you say that?"

"Changping City is far away from us."

Chen Zedao: "General Yan means that he wants Changping City to send troops to help the rear border. The distance can be counted. The other party will definitely arrive within ten days and a half months. Such a protracted wait, I am afraid that something will happen in the middle."

"Furthermore, if we don't fight a single battle, it will be difficult to pose a sufficient threat to the Zhuyan Empire. Changping City may not increase its troops."

"You know, because of the matter of Nantes Province, Fengqi Province must have allocated its troops to this side, so in fact there is no need to transfer troops from Changping City, the current strength alone is enough for Zhu Yan The Empire feels safe."

Speaking of this, Chen Ze paused, but saw that Yan Haomiao was still indifferent, and when Chen Ze paused, he said: "This old man has thought about it, but I don't think there is any problem with it. After all, your Qingyang Empire has follow-up troops arriving one after another, isn't it?"

"But..."

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Chen's words are true, we really want to further stimulate the Zhu Yan Empire, so according to Brother Chen, what should we do about this matter?"

old fox!

Chen Ze cursed secretly in his heart, and said calmly: "I look down, there are a few small towns on the border of Fengqi Province, if we can capture one first, this will be the biggest stimulus to the Zhu Yan Empire!"

"So, I wish to take the lead in the vanguard position, so I will use my 100,000 troops as sharp knives to attack one of the cities first, so as to put pressure on the Zhuyan Empire!"
