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

However, this walk turned directly through the pass where Yan Haomiao had been fighting to the death, until he came to the vicinity of Dongping City, and then stopped.

There is still no secret whistle.

Therefore, there can only be one possibility.

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

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Cheng Hong would rest assured that there are no guards on the extremely important border.

Because it is not needed at all.

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

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

Is the situation so bad already?

Chen Ze frowned and asked Chen Ming and others to stop first, and did not rush to inquire about the situation in Dongping City.

At this time, he did not 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, which would make the other party consider that he was hiding in any decision. Side of the situation.

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

Chen Ze also believes that he has enough energy to make Cheng Hong feel jealous of him.

So now, what is going on in Dongping City?

He frowned. Not long ago, he had received news from Hua Lao, which is why he did not let Li Quanan also come to Nantes province.

With Li Quanan here, he can act as a liaison officer. Whenever there is a new message from Hua Lao, Li Quanan will follow it up, and then find a reason to secretly send 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 Fengxi Province had not been breached, the Bailie Empire, which had identified the opportunity, sent several small units to secretly sneak into Fengxi Province from various weak points of defense.

Of course, it is a secret, but there is not much secret. The temporary commander in Fengqi Province is also aware of the enemy's actions.

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

For them, if the news that they had sent a small team to sneak into Fengqi Province secretly was learned by the other party, it would be a good thing if they wanted to divide their troops to stop these troops.

It just so happens that they can reduce the pressure of attacking the capital city of Fengqi province on the frontal battlefield, and maybe they will succeed in one fell swoop.

But the temporary commander seemed to be aware of this, so although he knew that the enemy was secretly deploying troops, he did not dispatch troops stationed in the main city to stop him, but only issued official documents to make local cities guard themselves.

As a result, the Bai Lie Empire acted even more unscrupulously. Slowly, more and more troops were sneaking into Fengqi Xing Province, and it was already possible to assemble two or three huge troops.

The consequences can be imagined.

When the temporary commander can only choose to stick to the main city, the interior of Fengqi Province can be described as fire everywhere, and no less than three cities are facing siege wars every day.

Some defended, but they were tragically victorious, while others, but most of them were taken away by Ouyang's rigorous force before, and couldn't stop the wolf-like army of Bai Lie. Miserable.

But after all, as long as the city is attacked, it will inevitably be wasted. Therefore, after the Bailie Empire has attacked several cities, it must also make certain supplements. Therefore, at present, the war has not spread to the entire Fengxi Province.

This is what Chen Ze received from Hualao.

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 Li Xing, he rushed to Fengxi Province without stopping, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Fengxi Province to guarantee his mission first.

But just when he got here, near the border between the provinces of Nantes and Fengqi, he discovered something was wrong.

There is no mention in Hua Lao's intelligence that Dongping City has also fallen into Cheng Hong's hands.

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

As for the reason, it is conceivable.

The Fengqi province is now under constant fighting, and it is already very difficult to deal with a Bailie Empire alone.

If at this time, Cheng Hong still launched an attack on Dongping City, this would be even more exciting to today's commander in Fengqi Province.

If Cheng Hong also controls the border between Nantes and Fengqi, it is equivalent to the fact that the other party can send troops into Fengqi at any time. This is another aspect for Fengqi. A great risk.

Therefore, if Cheng Hong wanted to fight Dongping City, it would definitely cause a backlash in Fengqi Province, and even when he was forced to retreat, the opponent retained his troops and retreated to the main city, leading a large force into the Nantes Province.

This is a troublesome thing.

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

In addition, the so-called rush to power, if Fengqi province is attacked by two sides, then it is very likely that it will not be able to defend it at all.

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

Moreover, Ouyang was strictly trapped in Yiju City. At this moment, the commanding and defensive command and defense in Fengqi Xing province were only temporarily assigned generals.

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

The Zhu Yan Empire considered the overall interests, not the gains and losses of one city and one province.

If in the end it is discovered that Fengqi province has no way to defend it, and Nantes province seems to have a chance~lightnovelpub.net~ The top empire may not make a choice, demanding abandon Fengqi province and the whole army to reinforce the south. Special province.

In short, it is better to save one province first than to lose the two major provinces.

This is considered from the overall situation.

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

Once he did it, it was not impossible for the Zhu Yan Empire to make those choices when he knew it was hopeless.

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

Therefore, at this time, Dongping City, a small border town, 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 approach.

Chen Ze believes that if he is in Cheng Hong's position, he will also make a strategy of not moving Dongping City first.

But now why...
