Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 138 Resolve
"This..." Hejiaer also frowned. According to the general situation, Earl Tward should come back with their scouting team to meet the prince now. Although you are the prince's uncle, you are not from the royal family after all. , but the descendants, the status difference is still very far, the other party not only did not come by himself, but did not even send someone to come, this is really not normal.

"However, the leader of the legion does not stipulate that he must come in person. Maybe he is just in the city to prepare for work." A general next to him said.

"It's fine to leave this kind of thing to the people below." Ye Junwen said, "And what I want to say is that this incident reveals that Earl Tward has a certain degree of contempt for the prince."

"Indeed." Hejiaer nodded, "But I can't be sure that the other party has betrayed His Majesty, maybe he just doesn't pay much attention to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, hasn't he already agreed to receive us? Could it be that... is he planning to ambush us when we are not prepared? us?"

"Ambush should be impossible. There is too much difference in the number of troops. Even if the ambush is successful, it won't... wait." Ye Junwen said that he suddenly understood, "I probably understand what's going on. From this point of view It's not that bad if it is."

"What?" Hejar asked.

"The Earl of Tward and the rebels must be connected, or he is more optimistic about the rebels." Ye Junwen said, "And now the one who has the ability to pose a threat to our troops is the one we just defeated Earl Tward knows this, and should be ready to contact this rebel army now to inform them of the current situation."

"That means they are going to attack us with the rebels?" Hejiaer asked.

"But it seems that Count Tward has no intention of directly working for the rebels. He may want to join the rebels, but he does not want to defend the city and resist our troops for the rebels. This is not for him. It's too dangerous. So now, although he has contacted the rebels, he wants to get the rebels to take action." Ye Junwen said, "If we really don't pay attention, it is still more dangerous to be attacked from behind by the rebels. However, ...As long as the rebels know that we are still paying attention to the rear, and according to the performance of the previous General Conrad, he will not come back again."

General Conrad should still understand military affairs, so according to Ye Junwen's analysis, if the opponent finds that Ye Junwen and his troops are not paying attention to the rear, it is very likely that they will come back.And seeing the rebels come back, as long as Earl Tward closes the city gate and attacks from both sides, they will be very dangerous.However, as long as they come carefully, the rebels should not dare to fight again.

"As long as we send a large number of scouts to scout around the rear, the enemy should not march again when they see this situation," Ye Junwen said.

Of course, Hejiaer would not object to this proposal. No matter what Earl Tward's attitude was, it was definitely right to be careful to prevent the rebels behind him from making a comeback.So soon they also sent a large number of scouts to scout around the rear of their army, while their troops moved towards the direction of Edmead City.

Sure enough, General Conrad in the rear also received this information at this time.As Ye Junwen expected, after retreating for a certain distance, General Conrad did not retreat any further, but began to rectify the troops to see if there was any chance.At this moment, he also got contact from an informant from Edmead City, saying that Earl Tward wanted to cooperate with them.

However, it is a pity that when General Conrad sent people to investigate, he found that there were still a large number of reconnaissance troops behind the opponent's troops, which meant that the opponent was still guarding against them. The army of the enemy is unable to defeat the imperial army with high morale.

"As expected of a genius commander, the command is impeccable." General Conrad hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Send the order, continue to retreat westward and return to the base camp."

"Master Legion, don't we post it?" The lieutenant next to him asked, "The enemy's food and grass are scarce now. If Earl Tward joins us and closes the city gate to prevent them from supplying, maybe we keep harassing from the rear. Can drag down the opponent."

"Can we trust this Earl of Tward?" Conrad asked.

"This..." Of course the adjutant didn't know if he could believe it. A letter suddenly came saying that he intended to join. Who knows if it was true.

"What if it's the opponent's plan." Conrad said, "We don't have to be so careful when facing other people, but the person named Serena on the opposite side is not simple. According to the previous battle, this is a A person who is very good at calculating, if you want to defeat him, you can't do this kind of heresy, but you will fall into the other party's tricks. Only by confronting him head-on can you have the possibility of defeating him."

"I see." The adjutant nodded. Indeed, Earl Tward's letter may also be one of the plans of the commander named Serena, which is to drag their troops here, wait for them to post it, and immediately ambush them some type of.Now it is better to retreat back to the west base camp and make a little repair.

So Conrad's troops retreated directly to the west, and after a while, Earl Tward also learned the news.

"Damn it, you coward!" Earl Tward slapped the table angrily. He was really optimistic about the rebel army and wanted to join the rebel army at this time, but unexpectedly, the opponent's troops retreated.The good thing is that he didn't turn his back on Hejiaer's side. He knew that there might be something wrong with the rebel army. If he could join, he would join. If he couldn't join, then of course he wouldn't pretend to die and really fight the imperial army. Knock, "Open the gate and welcome the imperial army."

A crisis was virtually resolved, Ye Junwen and the others just sent a few scouts to sway behind their troops.By the time the troops of the First and Second Legions arrived at Edmead City, they had already seen Earl Tward leading people to greet them at the gate of the city. Of course, the gates were also wide open.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Earl Tward also warmly received Ye Junwen and the others.

When the troops entered the city, Hejiaer also breathed a sigh of relief.After all, the recent situation is indeed more dangerous, and now I can finally relax a little bit.

"I've already ordered people to prepare food supplies and the like, and I'd like to ask your lord's troops to recuperate here so that they can annihilate those hateful rebels in one fell swoop." Earl Tward said to Hejar.

"Earl Tward is really loyal to His Majesty." Hejiaer said.

"Really?" Ye Junwen who was next to him suddenly interjected, "My subordinates told me that they seemed to have seen someone sending people from Edmead City to the direction of the rebels. I wonder if Earl Tward knew Don't know about it?"

"What?" Earl Tward panicked, but he said immediately, "I don't know about this. Could it be that there are rebel spies under my command? I must go back and check right away."

"Oh, that's right." Ye Junwen nodded, "I thought you, Earl Tward..."

"Earl Tward is the queen's younger brother, so he will definitely not betray the country." Hejiaer interjected, "Now that the rebel army is strong, it is normal for a few spies to appear."

"Yes... It was my fault. I didn't check out the situation of my subordinates. I will definitely check it out." Earl Tward said immediately.

After chatting for a while, Earl Tward still left first. Ye Junwen looked at his back and said, "Looking at this reaction, there is still something wrong."

"I can see it too." Hejiaer said, "But you don't need to talk about it now, can't we settle accounts with him after our troops stabilize?"

"In the current situation, this kind of time bomb must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise accidents may happen at any time." Ye Junwen said, "Currently, Edmead City is an important stronghold for us to deal with the rebels. If there are still problems inside, It’s very troublesome for future plans.”

"Hmm..." Hejiaer felt that what Ye Junwen said made sense, "But we don't have any evidence right now, so we can't just arrest him casually."

"No problem, leave this matter to me." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said.

"Uh... okay." Hejiaer thought for a while, Ye Junwen is still very relieved to handle things, at least for now, there is no problem, but I don't know why seeing Ye Junwen's expression this time always feels a little bad hunch.

In short, no matter what, the troops of the First and Second Legions have stabilized and stationed in Edmead City. The current situation in Edmead City is relatively stable. There is a lot of food in the city, although it is 10,000+ There is a large army, but it is enough to feed for a month.In the current situation, they not only need to prepare their troops, but the most important thing is to inquire about the situation of the rebels and the main city, so they will be repairing here for the time being.

Because it was much more convenient for Ye Junwen to do things in the city, so he also asked people to find a way to contact Scam, let the other party know that he was already in the city, and let the other party come to him quickly.

It's not a troublesome thing to contact Scam, and Scam is indeed paying attention to Ye Junwen's situation, but he really couldn't find where Ye Junwen was before.But now that he received the information, of course he came to Edmead City immediately, and found Ye Junwen very quickly.At this time, Ye Junwen had just finished the military meeting, and when he heard the news, he also summoned him.
