The Era of Generals

Chapter 385 - Initiative

From the map, Chen Ze could see that the scouts who were originally scattered and stealthily began to gather together consciously.

Realizing that they might be threatened by potential unknown enemies, they decisively changed their original stealth method without the commander's order. It has to be said that the quality of these scouts is very high.

But so what?

No matter how tall they were, they were still far behind Gu Qingfeng and the others, and with the guidance of a map, Chen Ze knew their movements like the palm of his hand.

If the opponent gathers, they can also gather. Although they are inferior in numbers, the combined attack tactics of Gu Qingfeng and the four of them are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

You must know that before the five of them had been trained by Chen Ze, they could cooperate with Xu Qing who possessed Ma Teng's general star, and the strength of their tactics can be seen.

No matter how elite these scouts were, they did not exceed the scope of soldiers. It was not difficult for Gu Qingfeng to deal with them.

The only troublesome thing is that some of them run fast, and they are almost rushing to the vicinity of Tell City. However, Tang Tianxing has pre-arranged to guard the main road, so Chen Ze is not too worried.

Even if Tang Tianxing misses, with Wang Ping's general skills, he can quickly find the opponent's location through the map, and then wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Chen Ze paid attention to the situation on Gu Qingfeng's side for a while, and found that the situation was still under control, so he cut off contact with Gu Qingfeng's side.

There are not many military exploits left, and he can no longer spend as much as before. At least, until he finds other ways to obtain military exploits, Chen Ze can only save one cent.

The situation is under control.

Since then, Chen Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it's Ouyang Lixing's side, Xilongcheng's side, or Gu Qingfeng's side, the situation in the three aspects is developing in the direction he expected, which is always good news.

Then next...

He frowned and thought about it. Although the situation is developing in a good direction, in fact, he is still the one who is passive.

It was his suggestion that Ouyang Lixing go far away to the border.

Zheng Yuanyun captured Xilong City because he managed to get Ouyang Lixing to follow his advice, and because of Ouyang Lixing's actions, Zheng Yuanyun had to give up Chen Ze for the time being and go to quickly attack Xilong City.

All of these are linked to each other, thanks to Chen Ze's plan, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.

But the question is, will those people continue to develop as Chen Ze hopes?

For example, if Ouyang Lixing walked halfway, he suddenly felt that his troops were so huge, and Zheng Yuanyun's side had already been consumed by the battle of Xilong City. Moreover, although he was marching in a hurry during this period, But the soldiers have almost recovered from the exhaustion of the battle, and the ebb and flow of each other may not necessarily prevent them from fighting.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, but if Ouyang Lixing really has such a plan by accident, so what?

After all, Chen Ze still couldn't completely control the thoughts of a general, let alone that this general was actually an enemy general, but they reached an intention to cooperate because of the same purpose at the moment.

Even if there is such a change, it is actually reasonable, and Chen Ze has absolutely no control over it.

The same goes for Zheng Yuanyun.

It is good that he took Xilong City, but in this battle, after all, he put hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives at risk just to capture the city.

Who can tell clearly that after taking down Xilong City, the soldiers under him still felt resentful towards him, and they didn't want to serve him anymore, so they caused a mutiny or something?

The mutiny can be big or small, no matter what, Zheng Yuanyun has to deal with it first, so it is possible for him to choose not to attack, but to stay where he is, or return to Ketan City for repairs.

And this is just a hypothesis, and to put it bluntly, if one day Zheng Yuanyun dreams back at midnight and suddenly realizes that Chen Ze's threat is actually greater, and then chooses to return to Chen Ze first, isn't that right? Is it possible?

In the final analysis, the situation was not completely controlled by Chen Ze alone. There were many variables in it, and any occurrence of any of them would catch him off guard.

Just like when he first arrived in Nantes province, he thought he was just coming for a walk. Who would have thought that Yan Haomiao of the Bailie Empire would be waiting for him here?

Just wait, when he thought that he could reach a cooperation with Yan Haomiao to get what he needed, who would have thought that because of the old grievances between the other party and Mr. Luo, Yan Haomiao had made up his mind to make him also Let's deal with it together in this war.

Because of this, Chen Ze was forced to choose to attack Xifeng City from afar and use it as a stronghold to plan and deploy bit by bit, and finally regained the initiative.

Yan Haomiao was an uncontrollable variable for Chen Ze at the beginning, and because of this variable, he was almost buried in Fengqi Province.

Of course, Chen Ze would not want to go through this kind of thing again. In any case, he was more assured that the initiative was still in his own hands.

So for the current situation, Zheng Yuanyun can't turn around to deal with him, at least for now. During this period of time, what Chen Ze has to do is to regain his own initiative as much as possible.

For example... leave Ketan City!

He has always had this idea, but before Zheng Yuanyun besieged the city with an army of more than two million, he couldn't get out even if he wanted to.

But now that Zheng Yuanyun was gone, he still didn't want to let him go, leaving half a million elite soldiers to besiege the city.

However, compared with the more than two million before, and even Zheng Yuanyun personally sitting in the town, the 500,000 elite soldiers on the periphery are still unable to deal with it, but it is better than when Zheng Yuanyun is there in person.

There is a way... not without it!

Chen Ze was thinking about it, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of Gu Qingfeng.

maybe...

Suddenly, my heart suddenly became brighter, and when I thought of Gu Qingfeng, a plan emerged in my mind.

"Yes, it can be done like this!"

The brows that were knit together suddenly widened, and at the same time, his mind quickly sank into his mind, and he connected to the call with Gu Qingfeng that he had just hung up not long ago.

"My lord?"

Gu Qingfeng was lurking at the foot of a small hill, waiting for his prey to pass by.

Chen Ze's sudden call made him slightly startled, but he responded quickly.

"Do you have a letter of request for help written by Zheng Yuanyun himself and a token?"

Chen Ze asked directly.

They found a total of seven requests for help, and Gu Qingfeng had two here.

After getting an affirmative answer from the other party, Chen Ze grinned and said, "You can make arrangements, and leave the matter of hunting down those scouts to the other three. Come back quickly, I want those documents to be of great use!"
