The urgent report sent by Dugu Ce made Yun Zheng feel more urgent.
Although Xing'an Fort was guarded by 30,000 troops, the enemy had an army of 150,000 after all.
Moreover, the tribes in the western part of the desert clearly wanted to avenge the attack they received last time. Among the 150,000-strong army, there are probably a large number of elite troops.
Xing'an Fort must not be lost!
If Xing'an Fort was breached, they would have no choice but to withdraw their troops and seek support.
Damn it!
The tribes in western Mo really like to join in the fun!
They are seeking revenge on themselves, so aren't they afraid that Zhao Ji in the northwest will seek revenge on them as well?
However, now that the third brother is regent, Zhao Ji is dissatisfied with himself again.
Judging from the third brother's personality, he would most likely order Zhao Ji to keep his troops in place and just watch the fun from the sidelines.
...
...
Um……
It’s better to write a letter and send someone back to the imperial city!
Whether to send troops or not is not up to the third brother!
There is my father and so many generals in the court!
Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to the imperial city at an express speed of 800 miles.
If Zhao Ji sent troops to attack the tribes west of the desert, he would like to see whether the tribes west of the desert dare to continue to attack Xing'an Fort!
After Yun Zheng ordered someone to send the letter, Shen Luoyan asked, "Aren't you going to send troops to help Xing'an Fort?"
"Not yet."
Yun Zheng shook his head. "Xing'an Fort also has 30,000 defenders. Although the terrain is not as strategic as Turtle Back City, it is not easy for the enemy to capture Xing'an Fort!"
Tong Gang is guarding Xing'an Fort, and Dugu Ce is in charge of the general direction.
If Xing'an Fort was in danger, Dugu Ce would first send troops from Yufeng City to provide assistance.
Since Dugu Ce has not sent troops to provide assistance, it proves that Xing'an Fort is not in danger of being breached for the time being.
"Why do I feel like the tribes of Moxi are being used as pawns by Lou Yi?"
Miaoyin frowned and said, "The Moxi tribes are lending troops to Lou Yi and attacking Xing'an Fort. If they suffer heavy losses in Xing'an Fort, and Zhao Ji attacks the Moxi tribes from the northwest, they will have to destroy one or two countries, right?"
"yes!"
Chen Luoyan tilted his head, full of doubt, "Hasn't the Moxi tribe ever thought about the consequences of failing to capture Xing'an Fort?"
There is no doubt that the tribes in western Mo are making a huge gamble.
Even if they won the bet, they would still face a frenzied counterattack from the Northern Army.
Why do the tribes in western Mo dare to do this?
The tribes of the western desert can be found in Xing'an Fort, Dayue Kingdom, and the northwest of Dagan.
Once Zhao Ji attacks from the northwest, the tribes in western Mo will have to fight on three fronts!
Listening to Shen Luoyan's question, Yun Zheng also fell into deep thought.
Yes!
Why do the tribes in western Mo dare to do this?
Are they sure they can capture Xing'an Fort?
"It seems that Lou Yi is taking advantage of the tribes in western Moxi, but the tribes in western Moxi are also taking advantage of Lou Yi!"
At this time, Jia Yao suddenly spoke up, "Don't forget, the Moxi tribes have 80,000 troops in Dayue! If our attack is frustrated and we suffer heavy losses and retreat, it may not be easy for Lou Yi to get these 80,000 troops from the Moxi tribes to withdraw from Dayue!"
Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
If this is true, then the tribes in western Mo can really take a gamble.
If the bet is won, not only will the Moxi tribes be able to annex Dayue, but even their Northwest Protectorate may fall!
This profit is indeed huge!
Doesn’t Yun Zheng say this often?
Risk and return are directly proportional.
It is risky for the tribes in western Mo to do this, but if they succeed, the benefits will be huge enough!
However, Yun Zheng did not speak, but continued to think.
Seeing Yun Zheng's strange behavior, the three women looked over curiously at the same time.
Did he think of anything?
After a long while, Yun Zheng slowly raised his head and said, "What do you think? Is it possible that the tribes in the western desert could feint an attack on Xing'an Fort, so that Zhao Ji in the northwest would think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
Yun Zheng's question immediately stumped the three women.
If you think about it carefully, although Yun Zheng is a bit overly worried, it is not impossible!
If Zhao Ji thought there was an opportunity and advanced rashly with light troops, he would likely be severely defeated by the tribes in western Mo.
If Zhao Ji were defeated, the tribes in western Mo would revolt and threaten the safety of the Dagan Imperial City.
This really needs to be guarded against!
Shen Luoyan frowned and asked worriedly: "Should I write another letter to the Imperial City to remind my father?"
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "We just sent someone to rush them back 800 miles away. There's no need to remind them again for now. The Third Brother definitely doesn't want Zhao Ji to send out troops! Let's take a look at the situation in Xing'an Fort first."
The current situation is indeed somewhat complicated.
A single move can affect the whole body!
Let’s first clarify the situation.
After making up his mind, Yun Zheng ordered someone to pass a message to Dugu Ce, asking him to report the situation of Xing'an Fort every three days!
After the explanation, Yun Zheng wrote another letter and gave it to Shen Kuan: "Give this letter to Qin Qihu immediately and let him shoot this letter to the enemy!"
"yes!"
Shen Kuan trotted out with the letter.
…
Soon, Lou Yi received the letter sent by Qin Qihu.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Lou Yi couldn't help but sneer.
Yun Zheng said that it was for his own good, but in fact he just wanted to alienate him from the other tribes in Moxi.
What about retreating five miles voluntarily to show sincerity?
It was obvious that they were getting restless after hearing that Xing'an Fort was under attack from the various tribes in western Mo.
Do you want to persuade me to surrender so that you can concentrate your forces to deal with the tribes in western Mo?
Unfortunately, I won't give him this opportunity!
The purpose is to delay Yun Zheng’s main force!
Once Xing'an Fort is breached, let's see how Yun Zheng responds!
However, what Yun Zheng said seemed to make some sense.
Dayue has lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers!
The 20,000 defenders of Gule City will be unable to defend it sooner or later.
If they lose tens of thousands more people, the entire Dayue will be left without any soldiers.
By then, the 80,000 troops from the various tribes in the western desert would probably become Dayue's death warrant.
Of course he knew that the tribes in western Mo were not good people either.
If the Moxi tribes were given the opportunity to annex Dayue, they would definitely annex Dayue without hesitation.
This is indeed a problem!
Should we transfer the elite troops from the various tribes in the western desert to guard Turtle Back?
Let Yun Zheng and the various tribes in Moxi fight slowly?
However, Lou Yi quickly cut off this idea.
Yiwu has been handed over to the slave army of the various tribes in western Mo.
If Turtleback City is handed over to the Moxi tribes, the fate of Dayue will be completely controlled by the Moxi tribes!
You can't do such stupid things!
Thinking about all the possibilities, Lou Yi only felt an indescribable feeling of fatigue.
We have to be wary of Yun Zheng and the various tribes in western Mo.
It’s really difficult to survive in the cracks!
For a moment, he really didn't want to carry this burden.
However, he is the prince of Dayue Kingdom and the heir who has long been designated.
If he doesn't carry this burden, who will?
Just as Lou Yi was sighing, Kucha sent someone to report: "Your Highness, the enemy has begun to retreat!"
"oh?"
Lou Yi forced himself to cheer up and quickly stood up, "Let's go take a look!"
Soon, Lou Yi arrived on the top of the city wall.
Looking up, I saw that the enemy had indeed begun to retreat.
Looking at the retreating enemy troops, Lou Yi couldn't help but think secretly.
Is Yun Zheng trying to lure me out of the city?
Or is it that Xing'an Fort is in imminent danger and Yun Zheng plans to lead his troops back to provide support?
"A trap, definitely a trap!"
Soon, Lou Yi came to a conclusion and said to himself, "Yun Zheng couldn't have failed to think that the tribes in Moxi would attack Xing'an Fort. He definitely wouldn't withdraw his troops to support Xing'an Fort now! Yun Zheng probably wants to trick us into leaving the city to pursue him..."
Conspiracy!
This is what Yun Zheng is best at!
Don't be fooled!
