The Era of Generals

"Young master, according to your order, the staff has been arranged!"

Xu Qing stepped forward and replied to Chen Ze with cupped hands.

"Okay, then let's go on the road too, we will meet Brother Meng first.

Chen Ze nodded, glanced at the supply troops that had started up again, and knelt down to put away the map himself. When he stood up again, he saw Li Quan'an opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

After such a long time, Cheng Yu's duration is almost up, and he probably has something to say before he leaves.

Chen Zeqi said, "What do you want to say?"

"actually……"

Li Quan'an frowned and said, "The Zhu Yan Empire's plan is all about food and grass. Maybe we can use the plan and let the ambush soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire cut off the supply line as planned, and let them miscalculate the situation of the remaining grain in Bo'an City, and drag ourselves instead." Die outside Bo'an City!"

"oh?"

Chen Ze frowned slightly, "Speak."

Li Quan'an said again: "The Zhu Yan Empire's troops in Bo'an City are not a small number. In terms of consumption, both sides have consumption. The comparison is who can persevere more."

"Because of the problem of the supply line, the Zhuyan Empire will have a judgment on the consumption of food and grass in Bo'an City, but if this judgment is wrong, then their own food and grass will also be in trouble, and there may not be no one to counterattack and wipe out the enemy. Opportunity!"

Chen Ze was puzzled, but thought of something vaguely, and said unnaturally, "But how can Bo'an City give a wrong signal?"

"It's true that the other party will have a shortage of food and grass, but the consumption of Bo'an City with millions of civilians will only be greater than that of the Zhuyan Empire, which is purely military. Could it be that you want to..."

Li Quan'an nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Actually, regarding the food and grass, my subordinates have a way..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Chen Ze's complexion completely darkened, and the word grain and grass being mentioned again made him suddenly think of who the person in front of him was, and immediately interrupted sharply.

"There is no need to talk about this matter again, and with my military rank, it is impossible to do it even if I say it!"

"You... go back first!"

With a wave of his hand, a cloud of purple light appeared on Li Quan'an's body, and he returned directly to the general star system, and its status showed that it could not be used.

There was a wry smile on Chen Ze's darkened complexion.

Forage problem?

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ze understood what Cheng Yu was trying to say when he proposed this plan.

Don't ask, it's just human rations...

In addition to his outstanding wit, this boss is also a ruthless person.

During the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao was at war with Lu Bu in Yanzhou, the locust plague was rampant in Yanzhou, resulting in no grain harvest in Yanzhou. Seeing that Cao Cao's army was about to run out of food, Cheng Yu sent a large amount of food.

In order to prepare this batch of food, Cheng Yu went so far as to massacre the people in Dong'e County under his rule, and made jerky from human flesh to serve as army rations!

It was precisely because of this incident that Cheng Yu's prestige in the court dropped to a freezing point, and it even affected his future career. At the moment of his death, he failed to be promoted to the rank of Sangong, who was below one person and above ten thousand .

When Cheng Yu used Li Quan'an's mouth to talk about solving the problem of insufficient food and grass, Chen Ze immediately thought of the words "human flesh army food".

Right now, if you want to increase the food reserves of Bo'an City higher than Zhu Yan Empire's estimate, you can only add more things to the army rations, such as... jerky made from human flesh.

Thinking of this, even though Chen Ze was always calm, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn for a while.

However, the strategy is acceptable, if Bo'an City can adopt Cheng Yu's strategy, it is not guaranteed that it will really hit Zhu Yan's army in one fell swoop.

But is it possible?

With Chen Ze's current low rank, he went to propose to the city lord Zheng Yuanyun to give up the six cities?

He even suspected that he had no chance to get in touch with Zheng Yuanyun. Even if he asked Mr. Hua to come forward, when he said the plan of sacrificing the six cities, Chen Ze absolutely believed that Zheng Yuanyun would go crazy on the spot, and then let Chen Ze go. .

Not to mention that Chen Ze himself couldn't pass his own hurdle, and it was impossible to go and propose some cannibalism to Zheng Yuanyun.

After taking back Cheng Yu's generals, Chen Ze didn't delay any longer, and ordered the remaining one hundred or so people to back off.

While walking, Chen Ze told his confidantes about his speculation and plan.

After gaining insight into the opponent's intentions, Chen Ze once again firmly believed that there was an ambush, and he was even more sure that the little blue dot he saw on the map of the general star system was not a hallucination.

To him, the ambush is a battle achievement, which should not be missed.

In addition, although Cheng Yu's strategy was worse than Cheng Yu's, if these ambush soldiers could be taken down, there would be no need to talk about cutting off the supply line.

In this way, knowing that there is no hope for the Zhu Yan Empire to seize the city, the final choice they will make is to withdraw their troops!

The ambushes from the Forest of Poison Mist and An Luo Province were pulled out at the same time, and the Zhu Yan Empire would have nothing to rely on. If they were to attack Bo'an City, the loss in terms of troops would be astronomical.

The Zhu Yan Empire absolutely cannot bear this loss.

That's why Chen Zecai wanted to join Meng Yang, bring a hundred carts of food and grass, and prepare to fight wits and courage with those ambush soldiers in Anluo Province, and fight another war of attrition!

The convoy of more than one hundred people walked for about half an hour, and Meng Yang was seen in the distance, leading the soldiers, rushing towards them at full speed.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Meng Yang, who was out of touch with the cavalry brigade, arrived first. He fell off his horse and shouted at Chen Ze before he could gain a firm foothold.

Chen Ming suddenly appeared and asked him to join Chen Ze, which really frightened Meng Yang, so he rushed forward in a hurry.

Seeing that Chen Ze was fine, Meng Yang heaved a sigh of relief, looked around curiously, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong here? Where are our brothers?"

It is impossible not to be surprised that there are only a few hundred people left in the team of thousands of people.

Chen Ze didn't answer him, but spread out the map that had just been put away not long ago, pointed to a dense forest in the middle and asked Meng Yang: "You are following me, have you ever noticed someone ambushing in the dark?" ?”

"Someone?"

Meng Yang was slightly startled, and immediately shouted back, a ten-man scout team also composed of pure cavalry came out more and more, shaking their heads without exception.

"You were here just now?"

Chen Ze asked again.

This time there was no need for his subordinates to report back, Meng Yang stared at the map carefully, and said with certainty: "That's right, just now our brothers rested outside this dense forest."

The so-called don't enter the forest, don't go into the deep water, as far as the cavalry is concerned, what they hate most is the complicated terrain, and what they like most is the flat plain, so that they can maximize the advantages of the cavalry.

So when Meng Yang said that he had never entered the dense forest, Chen Ze believed it.

"Then, I probably know where those ambush soldiers are now!"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ze's mouth, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
