The Era of Generals

Chapter 447   The hope in the subconscious

The message from Ma Hui was timely, and it was also the reply that Zheng Yuanyun desperately wanted.

Of course, Zheng Yuanyun, who had already become a frightened bird, did not doubt the authenticity of this information at all.

But after thinking about it, Ma Hui could directly transmit the information of reinforcements from neighboring provinces, which is difficult for ordinary people to know.

At the beginning Zheng Yuanyun sent Xiao Du back to move the rescuers. Of course, because Xiao Du took away all the remaining scouts, many generals were aware of this, but what they didn't know was that Xiao Du went back to move not only It's just reinforcements from their Anluo province, and even reinforcements from neighboring provinces.

Originally, Zheng Yuanyun was arrogant and utilitarian, so it was difficult for others to say the order to move reinforcements to neighboring provinces from Zheng Yuanyun's mouth.

Because of this, apart from Xiao Du who left, even the scouts didn't know what kind of instructions the destination they were assigned to would convey.

Not to mention Ma Hui who has been staying in Ketan City.

If it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements from neighboring provinces, it would have been extremely difficult for Ma Hui to send such a loud message.

Based on this as a judgment, Zheng Yuanyun believes that Ma Hui's information is very authentic.

Of course, this is also related to his mentality at this time.

Zheng Yuanyun, who was urgently recruiting troops to fight a turnaround, subconsciously did not want to believe that this information was false, and then used it as a basis for analysis. Between the half-truth and half-false, Zheng Yuanyun himself Believe it or not.

Now that Ma Hui has come from Xilong City, is there any need for him to go back?

This is what Zheng Yuanyun is thinking about right now.

Undoubtedly, it would be safer to return to Xilong City, and after receiving nearly three million reinforcements, he would be able to defend Xilong City as solidly as possible.

But what's the use?

No matter how well he defended, he could not make up for his previous mistakes in decision-making. Even the scandal that he was defeated in Tianyuan City and abandoned his subordinates to escape alone would spread in Xilong City. The troops in the province, even the troops in the neighboring provinces, knew about Zheng Yuanyun's weakness.

From then on, how could he gain a foothold in Anluo Province?

Furthermore, isn't his purpose in coming to Nantes Province to bring Nantes Province, which originally belonged to the Zhuyan Empire, into the territory of the Qingyang Empire?

No matter how well he guarded Xilong City, the total number of cities in Nantes Province that fell into the hands of the Qingyang Empire was only four. What is the area?

Juhe City is a good counterattack location.

Zheng Yuanyun spread out the military map of Nantes Province, and his eyes were fixed on the city of Juhe where he was right now.

This city is used as a logistics supply station, and its geographical location extends in all directions. It can be said that it connects more than half of the cities in Nantes Province. From here, he can not only bring back the four subsidiary cities that he just abandoned, but also directly march down. , Attack Tianyuan City again!

After suffering the loss last time, Zheng Yuanyun naturally knew what the weakness of the seemingly invulnerable Tianyuan City was, and this was something he regretted extremely.

If he had known the level of defense of Tianyuan City, he only needed to besiege the city without attacking it, and he would be able to trap Ouyang Lixing to death.

Although he took some detours, when he regained control of a large number of troops, even if he turned back, there was still time.

Now there is no sign that the Zhu Yan Empire has any plans to continue to increase troops to Nantes Province.

So, isn't this the opportunity that Zheng Yuanyun has been eagerly looking for?

Thinking up to this point, Zheng Yuanyun hurriedly found the messenger soldier and asked him to pass on the order, temporarily stopping his plan to leave the city, and began to build a certain defense in Juhe City.

Then, he sent an arrow letter to Ma Hui, asking him to report his current location in detail, and he also had to tell the neighboring province who the general who led the team was.

This was Zheng Yuanyun's last test. He knew most of the high-ranking generals in neighboring provinces. Naturally, it was impossible for such a large army to be led by some low-ranking generals, and Ma Hui himself was a low-ranking general. A large part of the level he can contact is the generals of the Anluo province, and it is difficult to contact the generals of neighboring provinces across provinces.

If Ma Hui can even report this situation accurately, then Zheng Yuanyun can really get rid of his doubts.

However, at this moment, a messenger soldier had just left, and before Zheng Yuanyun could edit the content of the sounding arrow, another messenger soldier rushed in again.

"grown ups!"

As soon as the messenger soldier came in, he took a deep breath, and then hurriedly reported: "My lord, the spies ahead report that a large number of troops from Tianyuan City are rushing to Juhe City!"

Zheng Yuanyun frowned when he heard it, and asked repeatedly: "How big is the large number?"

"this……"

The messenger soldier hesitated a little, but still replied: "The spies in front said that there are about two million, but they are not sure!"

This is the disadvantage of not having professional scouts. The eyeliner sent by Zheng Yuanyun is just a temporary patchwork of ordinary soldiers. For the analysis of the military situation, the number of enemy troops, etc., it is impossible to rely on experience to make a detailed assessment.

It is estimated that the information given ahead is such an ambiguous answer, and the messenger knows that Zheng Yuanyun has always been serious about this direction, so he hesitated.

But at this moment, how could Zheng Yuanyun be serious?

About two million?

Even if there were none, or less, at least the spies in front could see that there were indeed a large number of troops heading for Juhe City, and that was enough.

Now Zheng Yuanyun doesn't need to have too precise information, he only needs to know the opponent's movements roughly.

After all, according to the information from Ma Hui, the three million reinforcements brought by the neighboring provinces have arrived, plus the half a million elite soldiers in Ma Hui's hands, and then the troops he took back, once they all belong to Zheng Yuan Yun's hand, then his total strength at this moment will reach an extremely large number.

The request for help that Xiao Du brought back stated that although Zheng Yuanyun gave up a large part of his benefits, there was one point that was the bottom line, that is, as long as he agreed to send troops to Nantes Province, then Zheng Yuanyun Yuan Yun is the only one here, and also the one with the highest decision-making power.

All the troops have to be dispatched by him.

With such a huge army, he even has a rich city of Juhe to defend. Ouyang Lixing only sent troops out to chase him at this moment. Isn't that courting death?

Of course, he also probably knew what Ouyang Lixing meant. Of course, he had to deal with Huang Chengjian's troops first, and after investigating Zheng Yuanyun's movements in detail, it would not be too late to chase after him.

But Ouyang Lixing, who also lost a lot of information, would never know that Zheng Yuanyun, who seemed to be only defeated by the remnants of the army, had a huge army coming from behind!
