Qi Yu's arrangement showed his cautious attitude to a certain extent.
Objectively speaking, this is the best card he can play so far.
The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so it is not appropriate to fight with them. It seems that we can only look for some available opportunities.
Qi Yu firmly believes that a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot. No matter how sophisticated the enemy's plan is, there will always be some kind of loophole that is not easy to detect.
As for whether he can finally realize his plan, that is another matter. One is that it depends on whether one's own insight can be achieved, and the other is that it depends on luck.
Judging from the results obtained, it is not bad.
It only took more than ten days for Huang Fei and Leng Qing to return from their investigation. Moreover, they still returned with success.
Okay, let's first talk about the situation of the enemy forces that we discovered.
According to Huang Fei's report, the strength and scale of the enemy's troops are roughly similar to what was previously expected. This can be completely confirmed.
However, unexpectedly, the military purpose of the invasion by the Nine-Nation Alliance was greater than expected. Their plan is that if the war goes well, they can annex Qiongzhou in one fell swoop.
Everyone knows that Qiongzhou is very wealthy and is considered the richest in the world. Who can remain indifferent to such a huge attraction?
It was precisely based on this consideration that they decided to proceed steadily and step by step, taking no risks if they could.
What they most hope for is to have a battle with Qiong Jun to decide the outcome. On our side, we had an absolute advantage and ate the famous Nanyang alive.
From their point of view, this method is the safest and wisest choice.
It is also in line with the current reality.
Huang Fei judged that in view of the above, the opponent would not take the risk to attack, let alone make a desperate move.
In other words, any idea that Qiong Jun wanted to use to lure the snake out of its hole, or to lure the enemy to defeat it, would not work.
This scene is a bit like the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period.
Cao's army was strong and dominant in all aspects, while Sun and Wu's forces were weak and restricted everywhere. The disparity in strength between the two sides was not ordinary.
For enemies such as Cao Wei, as long as they don't use any tricks like iron chains, the coalition can be invincible.
Even if you can't win, you won't be able to suffer huge losses.
It can be seen from this that the Nine-Nation Allied Forces, which had found its own position, did not become arrogant because of the situation, but very smartly laid out the appropriate tactics.
It can also be seen that there are indeed some wise counselors in the opponent's coalition forces. Otherwise, such a high opinion would never be possible.
Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but frown.
Frankly speaking, wisdom and tactics are the unique advantages of our own side and even the entire Qiong Army. If we are unable to use these strengths, it is equivalent to losing one of our own wings.
Facing the Nine-Nation Allied Forces with evolved intelligence, even Qi Dalang, who prided himself on being smart, felt a little helpless.
Let’s talk about Leng Qing again.
Her exploration yielded relatively little results, and she only found out the enemy's military supplies reserves.
For example, gunpowder, cotton-padded clothes, medicines, military equipment, etc. Judging from the final results, the coalition reserves are still in place, enough to meet the needs of the current sergeants for a year.
If you live frugally, you can survive for another year and a half.
They have Tianzhu Continent as their foundation, and they have been operating there for many years. They should have some family background to some extent.
Even if you are a prodigal, you can still survive for a while.
That's the good thing about colonies.
The advantage of having a backer in a different place is indeed huge.
The only fly in the ointment is that they had been robbed by a suspected Duanzi army before. All the money stored by the group was looted and all the food was burned. The losses were very heavy. Otherwise, the warehouse could be more abundant.
Speaking of this matter, Leng Qing couldn't help but talk a few more words.
"It seems to me that the enemy's food reserves are not as sufficient as imagined."
"Oh? Why do you see it?"
"First of all, Tianzhu suffered a once-in-a-hundred-year drought last year, and its grain output dropped sharply. Not only did the people not have much food left, but their military supplies were not as abundant as in previous years. Otherwise, they would not have the shamelessness to pay for it. The motherland is asking for help!”
"What? They sent a request for help to the motherland?"
"..."
Next, Leng Qing related a special rumor.
According to her, the coalition was aware of the food crisis as early as last year's harvest failure and took relevant countermeasures in a timely manner.
However, the violent conquests in Tianzhu were all in vain, and in the end, they had no choice but to ask for help from the motherland.
There is really no choice!
Because this matter was kept relatively confidential, not many people knew the inside story.
Leng Qing also accidentally heard it from a quartermaster.
So, what is the attitude of Western countries towards this?
In other words, did they agree to Tianzhu's request for help?
"At the beginning, all parties naturally agreed readily. After all, this was a plunder of wealth to open up new territories. However, as some unexpected events occurred, politicians in their home countries declined the request?"
"What...does this mean?"
Could it be said that their own family still doesn’t give face to their own family?
Qi Yu really couldn't understand this phenomenon????????????????
Why don’t colonial countries support their own territorial expansion?
This matter is really contrary to common sense. It even subverted Qi Yu's previous understanding.
Leng Qing didn't know the specific reasons, and she could only try to deduce it from the limited information.
She believed that it was the opposition forces in the Western countries that blocked the matter, which led to the eventual failure of the matter.
And that force is either a pro-China force or a political villain. Anyway, there is one of the two.
What? Pro-China forces?
We dare not expect such good things for the time being, but the so-called villain forces are still somewhat possible.
No matter which country's political arena, there are games and struggles. At the height of the temple, no one can monopolize power, and it is reasonable for a single party to have strident dissenters.
All things considered, the possibility of the latter is relatively high.
Qi Yu was just about to make a final decision on this matter when he suddenly heard Leng Qing retort: "Sir Qi, it is impossible to talk about political opponents. Because those opposition forces are mainly ordinary people, not high-ranking officials in the political arena."
"What? Ordinary people object? Is it true or false?" Qi Dalang was suddenly stunned when he heard this and looked very surprised.

People's movements usually appear in times of trouble.
Either the country is corrupt and the people are in dire straits; or foreigners invade and the country is in ruins.
Who has ever heard of a country that invades and the common people pull back?
What unprecedented news!
