Nearly twenty days have passed since the last meeting.

The situation at home and along the coast continued to ferment, and Ji Chuan had no choice but to send an order to transfer the Wei navy back to defense.

I can't afford to change homes.

In comparison, the intrusion caused by the enemy forces to oneself is greater and cannot be endured.

It’s no wonder that Himekawa can’t keep his temper.

The current results are really unacceptable.

Winter is coming.

But it felt like they had just left the house, how could they bear it if they continued wandering around like this?

Due to domestic influence, it is difficult to keep up with the supply of grain, grass and military supplies. Something must be done, otherwise big problems will occur!

Himekawa questioned Zhu Wen again.

"Didn't you say that we would see Daning's troops being transferred out in seven or eight days, or at most half a month? Why is there no movement yet?"

This time his tone was a bit unkind.

Zhu Wen frowned.

"This shouldn't be the case. It is an invasion of 300,000 troops from the Western Regions. Daning cannot resist it and can only mobilize troops to support it."

He was also puzzled.

The surveillance was very tight during this period, and Daning's army did not mobilize.

The spies they sent to Daning reported that at least the war in the Western Regions had not affected the south.

This shows that the situation is not serious.

"Or..."

"What?"

"Da Ning has hidden secrets, and may be able to control the invasion of the Western Region army. This is the only reason, but this is impossible..."

Zhu Wen began to doubt life.

Several months have passed since it was known that the Western Region army was invading Daning, but the Daning army in the southern border showed no signs of mobilization.

This is totally against common sense.

"Wrong!"

"It was wrong from the beginning!"

Zhu Wen stood up and walked to the military map.

"Emperor Yuanwu's intention is to control the situation first and minimize the impact when war breaks out!"

He pointed to Huizhou on the southeast coast of Daning.

"Just like here, he stationed a group of troops. Even if the Wei navy landed, it would be trapped in Huizhou during the occupation and would not affect the whole country."

"Similarly, with the Beilin Province as a buffer and even the relocation of the entire Huaizhou people, this is the purpose. The all-out war should be regarded as a local war. Maybe he is not able to solve the Western Region army, but he is sure to temporarily trap them

Northwest, this way it will not affect the south, it is not for victory, it is just for trapping!"

He analyzed quickly.

Himekawa also immediately thought that there was no movement until now, so this could only be it.

"Test!"

"No!"

"Attack!"

Zhu Wen seemed possessed.

"The army in the Western Region is trapped, so we should attack quickly to relieve it!"

"Two parties are cooperating. As long as one party breaks through, the other party will have more opportunities. Daning is in danger!"

"right!"

"That's how it should be!"

Zhu Wen turned around and stared at Ji Chuan.

"Immediately give the order to launch an attack!"

"The troops we sent before went deep behind enemy lines and have surrounded Pingcheng. Emperor Yuanwu is in Pingcheng..."

Himekawa's eyes lit up.

It is shown on the sand table that small flags are planted around Pingcheng.

The various armies dispatched have already surrounded Pingcheng. With a single order, the results can be achieved, and at least the strength of Daning's army can be tested.

"Preach my will..."

"etc."

Himekawa couldn't wait any longer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhu Wen.

"How many troops are we sending out?"

"Almost nearly 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand troops?"

Zhu Wen frowned and fell into deep thought again.

"What's wrong?"

His current state is somewhat abnormal.

Aren't you crazy?

Himekawa thought to himself.

"There are 70,000 troops, and there are dozens of teams. It is impossible for Guan Ning to know this scale. Why did he let it remain and only destroyed Huo Li's team?"

"It's because Huo Li leads cavalry, which poses the greatest threat. Then the others..."

"No!"

Zhu Wen said hurriedly: "Send the order to withdraw all the troops sent abroad immediately..."

"What!"

Himekawa thought he heard wrongly.

He looked at Zhu Wen displeased.

"What's wrong with you? Sometimes you do this, and sometimes you do that."

"Wrong!"

"It's all wrong!"

Zhu Wen said excitedly: "Guan Ning lets our army go, but he is actually tempting us. When we accumulate enough savings, we can surround and kill them all!"

He walked to the sand table.

Then he placed the black flags representing Daning's army on the sand table one by one.

Himekawa was suddenly startled.

The black flag surrounds the blue flag.

"This is impossible!"

"Order as soon as possible to bring back the troops, I hope it's not too late!"

Zhu Wen's face was very dark.

"Urgent report!"

At this moment, Fan Huazang, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, we have just received information that at least five of our troops sent out were surrounded and killed by the enemy, and all of them died in battle!"

Himekawa's figure swayed.

"When did this happen?"

"Three days ago."

"How could something happen three days ago be received so quickly?"

"Is it accurate?"

"precise."

Fan Huazang said cautiously: "This is information sent by the enemy."

"enemy?"
