The Era of Generals

Chapter 393   Would you like it?

There was a silence in the council hall.

Chen Ze looked at the two of them, and they were also looking at him.

Wu Peng, who was more familiar with Chen Ze, said: "Master Chen, look at this matter... Could it be fake?"

He asked very directly, but Chen Ze couldn't help but smile wryly.

Chen Ze rubbed his nose and didn't look at Wu Peng, but looked at Ma Hui who had been silent from the beginning, and said with a smile, "General Ma also came to ask me what I think about this matter?"

Hearing that Ma Hui raised his brows slightly, he didn't hide it, and simply said: "Yes, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter, but I can't figure out what went wrong specifically."

"That's why Brother Wu suggested that we ask Mr. Chen for a question. After all, when we were in Xifeng City, we would have seen Mr. Chen's unparalleled wisdom, so we can give us some advice."

He said this calmly, as if he really came to ask for advice, but when he said this, his eyes kept falling on Chen Ze's face, as if he wanted to find some clues from it.

Chen Ze naturally felt something, but he didn't say anything. He only smiled when he finished speaking, "Are you sure that my answer will be fair?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Hui and Wu Peng looked at each other in blank dismay, and were silent for a while.

Of course they knew the implication of Chen Ze's words, and they also knew that Mr. Zheng Yuanyun chose to besiege the city because of Chen Xie-ling, whose military rank was still very low.

Yes, this matter has a personal stake with Chen Ze.

Once they withdraw their troops, it means that the siege of Chen Ze will also be withdrawn. At that time, the sky will let the birds fly, and the sea will let the fish leap, so where will they go to surround him?

Asking Chen Ze's opinion, even if it was a very fair opinion, Ma Hui believed that he would subconsciously think a little bit more, which is why he originally did not agree with Wu Peng's suggestion and came to Chen Ze.

But if he relied on himself alone, he was at a loss for a while, and couldn't figure out a clue at all.

What's even more hateful is that at present, except for Wu Peng, the other generals in the army simply look like they don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and no one will give him reasonable suggestions or opinions. All he can rely on is Just myself.

So after much deliberation, he agreed to Wu Peng's suggestion and went to Ketan City to find Chen Ze.

Even if Chen Ze had other thoughts, he would have some insights, which was better than nothing.

"Master Chen!"

Thinking of this, Ma Hui cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I know some of the quarrels between you and Mr. Zheng, and I also know the real reason why Ketan City was besieged. I believe, Mr. Chen, you are a talented general of our Qingyang Empire, and you will not take these trivial matters to heart."

While talking, he looked at Chen Ze, but saw that Chen Ze was also looking at him with a half-smile, and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

General's talent?

trifle?

Zheng Yuanyun made it clear that he wanted to kill Chen Ze, so could this be a trivial matter?

In order to get Chen Ze's help, he had to bite the bullet and say it, and he didn't really believe it after he said it.

I don't believe it... that's all there is to it.

"General Ma's reputation is too high. I'm not as great as you said."

Chen Ze shook his head, and seeing that the faces of the two of them became ugly, he added: "However, this matter is of great benefit to me. If you must listen to advice, it is not without it."

"oh?"

Both Ma Hui and Wu Peng were stunned for a moment, and hope was kindled in their already desperate hearts.

That's right, what Chen Ze said is quite right, this matter is of great benefit to him.

And the advantage is that he can solve the besieging army without a single soldier. If he does nothing, or just speaks, the matter can be solved.

It's just that Chen Ze made his words clear, and it's up to him whether Ma Hui accepts his subsequent suggestions.

"Master Chen, but it's okay to say, we two brothers still trust Master Chen very much!"

Without any explanation, Wu Peng first sent a high hat over.

Seeing Chen Ze slowly walking towards the head of the meeting hall, where the map of Nantes province was spread out for a long time on the table there, he walked over, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two generals, why not come over and have a look together ?”

Ma Hui and the two looked at each other, walked up to Chen Ze, and saw that Chen Ze was already pointing at one of the points, and said, "This is Xilong City."

The two nodded. That position had been seen countless times, and even with eyes closed, they could click on it with one hand without making a mistake.

"Xilong City is separated by a wide moat. If Mr. Zheng wants to attack the city, the first difficulty he will face is this moat. If I am the enemy's commander, with the intention of defending the city, I will definitely The bridge will be broken ahead of time and the boats will be destroyed, forcing Mr. Zheng to choose to cross the river by force."

The two nodded again, and this strategy did not exceed their expectations.

"So there will be a dam here!"

Chen Ze pointed somewhere upstream, "When Lord Zheng's offensive is at its peak, he will open the gates and release the water, and use the flood peak to wash away the soldiers who are halfway across the river. This is a killer weapon."

The two stopped and looked up at Chen Ze.

It's not how complicated the plan is, but what Chen Ze said, they have long thought of it, and they couldn't help saying: "But Mr. Zheng has a huge force, even if part of it is washed away by the flood peak, the place where the water is stored can't be triggered for a long time. Flood, after the water is calm, Mr. Zheng can still forcibly attack the city!"

"That's right, the problem lies in the word force!"

Chen Ze said in a deep voice: "At present, the army is fierce and the battle is dangerous. If Mr. Zheng wants to take Xilong City quickly, he has to forcefully cross the river to fight the enemy with the intention of sacrificing part of his troops. Then, at this time... "

He said meaningfully: "General Wu, if Mr. Zheng orders you to lead your troops across the river, knowing that you will die, do you think you will go?"

"I?"

Wu Peng was stunned, closed his eyes and imagined the scene, and suddenly said firmly: "For the general to share the worries with the country, since it is the order of the general, I think, I will go."

"good!"

Chen Ze nodded, then looked at Ma Hui, "General Ma, after General Wu sacrificed, Master Zheng ordered you to be a death squad. Will you go?"

"this……"

Ma Hui pondered, but then said firmly: "I receive the salary of the empire, and I have long been aware of dying for the country. I think, I will go too!"

"very good."

Chen Ze nodded again, and said: "With the width of the river, even if two generals die for the country, it is still impossible to capture Xilong City. Therefore, Mr. Zheng has to send a third general to die."

"The two generals asked themselves, is it possible that the third, fourth, or even fifth general would be so steadfast after watching his comrades die?"
