Chapter 898: A Bigger Game of Chess

After all, Li Zijun and Minian are different from men and women, and it is inconvenient for Winnie to bandage Minian's wounds and he is always by his side, so he takes Vero out of the command post on the pretext of patrolling.

"Look at you, isn't the situation good?" Coming to no one's place, Vero spoke.

Li Zijun sighed softly and told Vero about the situation in Traftel City at the moment.

"Internal and external difficulties, your life seems to be really not easy! Judging from the current situation, you can only recall White and Yuan Xiu, I don't understand what you are still hesitating about, don't believe in Yuan Xiu?"

"It's not that I don't believe in Yuan Xiu, I just hope" Speaking of this, Li Zijun paused slightly.

"You just hope that His Majesty Virgil can see your painstaking efforts, understand your plan, mobilize the troops around you to dress up as the Ziqing Army, and block Victor's back road?"

"I can't seem to hide my every move from you!"

"That's because you're doing it too obviously!"

"But His Majesty still doesn't seem to be doing anything!"

"How do you know he's not moving, and if he can't even hide his movements from you trapped in Trafford, how can he hide it from Victor?!"

"You mean?" asked Li Zijun, turning his head to look at Vero in surprise.

"This time you attacked the Ziqing Empire, and you only mobilized 600,000 or 700,000 troops inside and out, and it won't exceed 800,000 if you say more;

"I remember that you once swore that your Dongyu's strength is the first of the Seven Kingdoms of Youlan. In other words, your strength will at least not be worse than that of the Fengqi Empire!"

"But what about your team? Don't forget. The Fengqi Empire and the Aojin Empire are still in a state of war at this moment, which means that. They didn't give their best in this battle, or they couldn't do it at all!"

"On the contrary, if you look at you, there are no internal worries or external troubles. For this attack on the Ziqing Empire, it can be said that they are united in their hearts. But I don't understand, why would His Majesty Virgil only send this little force to you? Can't he think that the Fengqi Empire will come back and take advantage of the fire to loot?"

"His Majesty Emperor Dongyu personally recruited, no matter what, it is impossible for him to have no soldiers by his side. And he is not the fifth prince, in his place, the Ziqing Empire is by no means dispensable. By this inference, the city of Traftall speaks for itself in an important place in his mind, but why, why hasn't he sent you reinforcements until now?"

"In my judgment, there is only one reason: that he wants to play a bigger game! On his chessboard, except for the Ziqing Empire. There must still be the Fengqi Empire! Not only does he want to take the land of the Ziqing Empire, but he also has to deal the heaviest blow to the Fengqi Empire, so that the Fengqi Empire has no chance to turn over!"

"And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that this wish of his will soon come true!"

"Now that His Majesty Virgil's net has been spilled, it no longer matters to him whether he is out or not. So, I suggest that you immediately send Yuan Xiu and White to the aid of Trafford. ”

"If possible, I would even like to suggest that you mobilize more Ziqing soldiers to come for reinforcements, just. I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Too late, what do you mean?"

"His Majesty Virgil is definitely a ruthless guy, he will never allow such an armed force that may threaten Dongyu's security to continue to exist!"

"Of course. Before the actual action, His Majesty Virgil should still give the soldiers some opportunities, but can they grasp it? That's the difference between the benevolent and the wise!"

"Kill prisoners, that's hundreds of thousands of people, Your Majesty is not afraid," he said. Li Zijun's eyes froze, and suddenly he lost his voice.

"Of course he won't kill prisoners. But this does not prevent him from getting rid of these pawns! This matter will eventually become a secret, a secret that will never find the truth of the matter, because" Vero glanced at Li Zijun:

"All those directly involved in this will be eliminated, and everyone else will only be in the fog!"

"Don't think too much about this, the most important thing you should do now is to prepare to pursue Victor! This time we don't really want to get rid of Victor, we just want to plant a seed of fear in his heart, so that he will never dare to recall the scene of the battle with you!"

"But I took those people captive!"

"So what? As I said earlier, His Majesty Virgil will definitely give those people a chance before he does it. Those who were left behind made the wrong choice, and it was their own choice anyway, and they can't complain about others, let alone you!"

"If I send a letter to His Majesty now?"

"Don't! You're hurting others and yourself! In any case, the soldiers of the city of Annam must die, or they are already dead. And His Majesty Virgil will surely find a high-sounding excuse to silence the mouths of all parties. ”

"Not only will this letter of yours not save anyone, but it may well make the political situation that is gradually subsiding down immediately chaotic and complicated. At that time, it wasn't just the hundreds of thousands of people who were afraid of death!"

"I advise you to forget about it as soon as possible! Never again! The most important thing about you right now is that it is a tragic one, but it is a blow to the guy named 'Victor' in front of us. ”

"He will not hesitate to kill you with a million troops! This time, it is your turn to make such a determination!"

"Okay!" Li Zijun turned his attention back to the front of him, and he shouted out the word 'good' loudly in the direction of the Fengqi military camp, although his heart was already extremely sad!

"What, you're going to restore the food for the horses? Ed, are you kidding me? Our current food reserves are okay, but they are not to the point where they can be squandered at will. Are you thinking about it again?" Hearing Li Zijun's strange decision, the Lance City Guard immediately glared at him.

"Don't think about it, I've already decided. Starting today, we will do our best to quickly restore 20,000 warhorses to combat condition!"

"Ed, can you tell me what your real purpose is for doing this?"

"Pursue Victor!" Li Zijun did not hide from the defenders of Reims City, and directly stated his purpose.

"Chasing Victor?" Lance's eyes widened:

"Ed, is there something wrong with your brain? Now don't talk about chasing Victor, as long as he doesn't chase us, we'll be lucky. If you want to chase him, he'll have to run!"

"Could it be that reinforcements are really coming?" Lance paused slightly, as if he understood Li Zijun's intentions.

"It's not the only one" Impulsively, Lance almost told the number of 'reinforcements' in front of everyone.

"I thought it was those before, but now it looks like it should be more than that!" Li Zijun was very excited, and he gave the Reims City Guard a hug.

Li Zijun's action quickly spread in Trafford, and almost everyone heard the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements, and their faces were full of smiles, and the soldiers were even more motivated!

"I hope your judgment is correct, otherwise, I will make a big fool of myself in front of everyone this time!" Looking at the jubilant soldiers and civilians under the city, Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a headache, and he sighed to Vero beside him in a low voice.

"It's better to make a fool of yourself than to lose your life! With such good news, within three days, our combat effectiveness will be increased by at least a full tenth! At that time, it is not you who should be worried, but Victor!"

"Even if the reinforcements don't arrive!" Vero saw that Li Zijun was worried, and added one more sentence.

"I hope it's as you say!" Looking at the approaching Feng Qijun under the city, Li Zijun clenched his wand as he spoke.

"What the hell did Edlaide do, and why did he get the entire Trafford City army and civilians full of fighting spirit in just one day?" as Vero expected, after a day's siege, Victor frowned as he returned to the camp.

"My lord, Dongyu is nominally a royal expedition this time!, but in fact, only their fifth prince and Edlaide entered the territory of Ziqing, do you think it will be?" Hamilton had been thinking about this question all along, and after hearing Victor's question, he immediately said what he thought.

"You mean Virgil is here?" Victor's face suddenly changed:

"What is the Ziqing army behind us doing now?"

"They've been wandering behind us, and they've even set up a decent camp behind us the other day. It was only on the day they set up this camp that I sent men to capture it, and I reported this to you the other day. As for the rest, it's nothing!"

"Did they suddenly increase or decrease?"

"Their force is very slippery, and our people are not approachable at all, but judging by the traces they have left behind, they don't seem to have changed much. ”

"No, no! The defenders of Trafort City are already overstretched, and if this team's mission is only to confuse us, Edlaide should transfer them to Trafort City to strengthen the defense after we see through their schemes, and they will never be allowed to wander out like this!"

"Gather three thousand cavalry at once and follow the road behind us for a round trip. We are now full of wounded soldiers, and there must be no problems on this road!" As he spoke, Victor felt his palms already full of sweat.

Looking at the Fengqi cavalry that was gradually moving away, Li Zijun let out a long breath.

"You've guessed it again!What should we do next?" Li Zijun glanced at Vero beside him and said in a low voice.

"The Feng Qi army outside the east gate has never been hit in any way, and they have been idle long enough!

"That's what I thought too!"

"Monkey, follow me out of the city!" Li Zijun led 5,000 cavalry and rushed out of Trafford City! )
