The Era of Generals

Chapter 457  Forcibly fed reassurance

The reinforcements have arrived in Tianhe City, and it is still half a day away from Juhe City!

This was Zheng Yuanyun's personal interpretation of the content of the ringing arrows, and at the same time, he received three more ringing arrows in succession, starting from Xilong City, and the city guards along the way sent him one after another.

Except for the sounding arrow sent back by his cronies, although the other three sounding arrows did not clearly state where the reinforcements had gone, they still reported the direction of the reinforcements to Zheng Yuanyun, and said with certainty that they saw the reinforcements passing outside the city with their own eyes.

So what is there to doubt?

There is only half a day left, and the reinforcements will arrive, but Ouyang Lixing is carrying out the so-called siege and consumption, isn't it ridiculous?

After receiving the news, Zheng Yuanyun finally took a reassurance.

The information about one sounding arrow is false, so is it possible that all the sounding arrows are false?

The reinforcements are indeed on their way, this is already a certainty!

However, how did he know... What a deal!

The sounding arrows were indeed sent back from the cities along the way. This was also Zheng Yuanyun's previous order to let the guards of these cities pay attention to the movements of the reinforcements. If there is anything wrong, they must report to him as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the person passing the echoing arrow has changed.

Starting a few days ago, when Zheng Yuanyun finally made up his mind to stick to Juhecheng and let Ma Hui lead the reinforcements to rush to help Juhecheng, everything in the rear had already changed.

You must know that the support army in Ma Hui's hands was originally the group that Huang Shi took away, and as for the so-called troops from neighboring provinces, there was no one there.

After Huang Shi led the army to go around in a circle, they returned to Xilong City and joined Ma Hui.

From that moment on, Ma Hui, who had surrendered to Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing, had reached a consensus with Huang Shi.

The two were already grasshoppers tied to the same rope, as long as Zheng Yuanyun survived, they would be the ones who would die afterwards.

In order to live and die together, the two carried out Chen Ze's plan wholeheartedly.

And the first step of the plan has already been taken out, and now Zheng Yuanyun is convinced that he has more than three million reinforcements on hand.

Then the second step is to make Zheng Yuanyun continue to believe.

How convinced?

For example, the sound of arrows.

Going out from Xilong City, Huang Shi and Ma Hui are indeed walking all the way to Juhe City, but during the process of walking, they are also constantly attacking the city...

What they attacked was the city of Nantes Province, which had already been captured by Zheng Yuanyun and had sent a small number of reinforcements.

In fact, there is not even a word of attack.

Starting from Zheng Yuanyun, the cities along the way more or less knew that some of their own reinforcements were rushing to the front line, so when Huang Shi and Ma Guang came under the banner of the Qingyang Empire, they had no doubts. Open the city gate and line the streets to welcome friendly troops to enter the city for supplies.

Then, Huang Shi and Ma Hui seized the military power by suspecting that the defending general was an enemy spy on the grounds of Master Zheng's order.

The matter went so easily that the soldiers below were not even alarmed too much. This was due to the large number of Zheng Yuanyun tokens that Chen Ze had obtained after letting Gu Qingfeng and others chase after Xiao Du.

Seeing orders is like meeting people!

The tokens that Zheng Yuanyun handed over to Xiao Du were not low-level, because some of them had to negotiate with neighboring provinces for military strength, and these tokens happened to be used by Huang Shi and Ma Hui, directly in front of the soldiers. After showing the token in front of him, the defending general didn't even think that it was designed by someone other than shouting injustice.

As a result, the guards were sent to prison, and replaced by those under Chen Ze who had passed the general assessment and were already his personal confidantes.

Everything went smoothly, Huang Shi and Ma Guang repeated their old tricks and captured three cities during the march.

As for the cronies sent by Zheng Yuanyun.

To be honest, in the current situation, Zheng Yuanyun already suspected that there were enemy spies in the army, so there were not many cronies worthy of his complete trust, and not many cronies who could be sent to the rear to monitor the movement of reinforcements.

This gave Zhang Hualin, who had been lurking secretly, a chance.

He was alone, so he followed up with the cronies sent by Zheng Yuanyun without any effort, and after leaving Juhe City not far away, he looked for an opportunity to slaughter the team of more than a dozen people.

So for a long time, Zhang Hualin was actually responsible for passing the Echoing Arrow to Zheng Yuanyun's cronies.

This is also due to the fact that Ma Hui handed in the sounding arrow signal book to Chen Ze.

The unique information represented by the sounding arrow has long been known to Chen Ze, and they only need to obtain the unique code of each general who is qualified to deliver the sounding arrow.

These things are also easy to come by.

Who would have thought that there would be problems in the already captured rear area?

Those specific codes were found directly from the generals.

So, at the moment when Zheng Yuanyun had a bad feeling, Chen Ze ordered someone to send several arrows in time, throwing reassurance pills at Zheng Yuanyun from various angles.

Yes, on the way.

Yes, I have already passed the city where I am.

My lord, there are many reinforcements, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong.

All kinds of information made Zheng Yuanyun feel at ease, and the slightest bad premonition that had arisen in his heart disappeared.

There are reinforcements!

In other words, there was a problem with Ouyang Lixing's intelligence system, or there were no enemy spies in the rear that he captured to easily send back news.

So, what made me worry was actually a mistake made by the other party, and what this mistake eventually led to was that Ouyang Lixing would miss the best opportunity to win him!

So, very good.

Zheng Yuanyun had a thousand thoughts in an instant, and finally a sneer fell on the corner of his mouth.

He looked outside the city, Ouyang Lixing was still implementing his strategy, using a feint attack to defraud the shells at the head of Juhe City, so as to consume supplies.

And Zheng Yuanyun, who was sure of the existence of the reinforcements, looked at the opponent's small actions at this moment, and he was not worried, and even sneered at it.

With Juhe City's material reserves, Ouyang Lixing wants to consume them like this, when will it be exhausted?

While waiting for Xiangjian's reply, Zheng Yuanyun also ordered someone to count the remaining supplies, but the return from his subordinates was extremely sufficient.

With food and soldiers, what is he afraid of?

Half a day later, the person who should be afraid is Ouyang who still looks unhurried! Strictly implement!

At the same time, Ouyang Lixing's side was not as calm as Zheng Yuanyun seemed.

While ordering his own soldiers to feign an attack, Ouyang Lixing was also waiting for news from Chen Ming.

Chen Ming is not in Ouyang Li's army at the moment. In order to deceive others, although Chen Ming and Chen Ze can send messages through the system in real time, he still explained to Ouyang Li that he will leave for a while to receive Chen Ze's new job. Order.
