It took five days for the army to march into the valley. In the past five days, the Northwest Army was able to march more than 1 www.biquge.info 00 miles almost every day, recovering two counties and more than a dozen towns of all sizes along the way, and the strange thing is that they did not encounter any large-scale resistance from the Macedonians.

Everywhere the Northwest Army went, and as Ronktor had expected, there were few garrisons in the Macedonian towns and cities, but almost all the supplies in the cities were plundered. Two of the largest cities, one with a Macedonian garrison of less than 100 men, were easily captured by Ronktor. The other even withdrew all the garrisons one day ahead of schedule as soon as he heard that the Northwest Army was pressing. When Ronktor arrived, he saw almost an empty city without defense.

All this situation was seen by several generals of the Northwest Army, although they didn't know why that guy Barcelus behaved so abnormally, but everyone was sure that the Macedonians must have retreated this time.

The reason is simple, if the Macedonians cede a small town or two, there may be some attempts, but within a few days the Northwest Army had regained most of the valley. Such a deliberate move was clearly a concession from Barcelus, a group of Macedonian robbers who only intended to occupy the town and plunder their property.

In the following days, this conjecture seemed to be verified, and although many of the Northwest Army did not say it, they speculated in their hearts about when the Macedonians would evacuate.

However, only Joseph and Suya knew that the reason why Barcelus abandoned these towns was originally to plan for the withdrawal of troops. But all the Macedonian armies did not withdraw at this moment, on the contrary, they were all stationed around Sadland.

As soon as the Northwest Army arrived near Sadland, it was immediately attacked by the Macedonian army, and its attitude was very tough, and it seemed that it had made up its mind not to let the Northwest Army take a step forward. Roncodo immediately reported these situations to Su Ya, and Su Ya and the others almost understood what Barcelus meant:

I've given up the other cities and counties, but here in Sadland, don't get involved!

This made Su Ya more sure of her conjecture, and Barcelus stuck to Sadrand, and he definitely had something to consider. Although Suya wanted to concentrate her forces to defeat Sadran in one fell swoop, she knew that this was not the time to fight Barcelus.

Due to the fact that Barcelus deliberately ceded many towns and cities, the Northwest Army had many problems in the deployment of troops. Among them, one of the biggest problems faced by the Northwest Army is how to solve the problem of garrison defense in one or twenty large and small cities and towns that have been recovered.

Su Ya suddenly realized at this time that in addition to the deliberate concession of Baseileus, there was an important reason for giving up these towns:

When the Northwest Army regained so many cities and towns at once, it was inevitable to assign troops to garrison them, and in this way, it undoubtedly weakened the overall strength of the Northwest Army. In this way, it will be impossible to concentrate forces to break through Sadland and fight Barcelus!

Such a conclusion made Su Ya even more deeply puzzled: this Barcelus mobilized heavy troops to guard Sadland, with a tough posture, obviously had his own plans, but what did he want to do?

At this moment, the scouts and sentries of the Northwest Army brought back the news that the Macedonians, although they were heavily defended, had arranged for a number of other people to search the vicinity of Sadland, as if they were looking for someone.

This kind of news made Su Ya suddenly feel a thrill in her heart, and she found Jose on the same day and explained to him the battle situation in the past few days. José's expression was also solemn after hearing this, but his subsequent words immediately moved Su Ya:

"I know what this guy is looking for!"

Joseph shook his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he actually laughed:

"The situation couldn't be simpler, I'm afraid that the Falusi I killed is really the prince of Macedonia. And this guy is stationed in Sadland at the moment, and he is reluctant to withdraw his troops, I'm afraid it's just to find this guy!"

Su Ya's expression was a little solemn, and when she heard Jose say this, her face did not show any suspicion, but she pondered for a long time, and nodded and said: "Yes, I think the same way, but when I hear you say it again, it will be a little more certain." ”

When Su Ya said this, there was a little joy in her tone, and she couldn't help but look at Jose and said:

"If that Macedonian wizard is really a Macedonian prince, José, you have done a great job this time. I will definitely personally ask His Majesty the Emperor to give you credit, and you may be given a noble title, and you may even get a large fief!"

When Jose heard her say this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but smile, touched his nose a little self-deprecatingly and said, "Hehe, hearing you say this, I still have a chance to become a big landlord!"

Su Ya smiled slightly, but then her face showed a little hesitation, and she said with a little solemnity:

"If that's the case, if we attack Sadrand, I'm afraid it will cause Barcellus to put up tough resistance, and it's not feasible to attack. Moreover, the recovered towns are basically stationed with a lot of troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to draw up troops to fight a decisive battle with the Macedonians. ”

Jose glanced at Su Ya and said thoughtfully: "Then can't we not divide the troops and concentrate all the forces to take Sadland in one fell swoop?"

Su Ya shook her head, and a helpless look finally flashed in her eyes: "This thing really can't be!"

"Oh?" José looked at Su Ya with some surprise, she shook her head and continued: "Jose, you must know that the war in the northwest is not as simple as the situation you see in front of you, and there are many power struggles within the empire!"

Su Ya's eyes were a little hollow, and she couldn't help but sigh, and said in a low voice: "Whether it is those military departments in the center of the empire, or the Northwest Army, or even His Majesty the Emperor, their eyes are all staring at the northwest!"

More than a year after the outbreak of the war, more than half of the land of Moxi fell, such a record can be described as a big failure, but my position as the commander is still so stable, the reason is this.

The war has reached this day, and I finally understand it. The situation in the northwest is not that the empire cannot manage it, but that it is unwilling to manage it and will not manage it! In the final analysis, all things are just two words -- interests!

Su Ya had a deep sadness in her eyes, she took a deep breath, and then said, "Because no matter what, they can get more benefits!"

In the past, when my grandfather Duke Ellos was alive, the family was very powerful, and my grandfather's temper was quite tough, so he also made many enemies in the empire, and many people were enthusiastic about the Ellios family.

General Heru has been in Moxi for more than ten years and has almost mastered the entire western frontier of the empire. Throughout the empire, no governor in any province was as powerful as he was. And he is my grandfather's former general, and he has had a close personal relationship with the family for many years, such a feudal official, naturally those guys in the military department and the empire can't rest assured!"

When Jose heard this, he immediately understood a little, and couldn't help but nod and said, "So that's the case, I understand what you say." Presumably, this Heru was deposed, I'm afraid those guys were involved in it...... But then again, I'm afraid that these things may not be without the meaning of your Imperial Majesty......"
