Andronikos agreed and tried to rescue Halil, but Leo was reluctant and in 1358 Andronikos had to lay siege to Phocaea with a small fleet of three vessels (the expenses of which were paid by Orhan).
Andronikos souhlasil a snažil se Halila zachránit, ale Leo byl neochotný a v roce 1358 musel Andronikos obléhat Fókaiu s malou flotilou (vojáky mu platil Orhan).
