Chapter 108: The Way to Live
"The first station……"
Chen Ze glanced toward the northeast and pondered in his heart.
After getting specific information, there are good and bad things.
The good thing is that the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush has just begun, and its logistics supply line has not been greatly damaged yet.
Of course, this is more beneficial to the Qingyang Empire, or Bo'an City in the Anluo Province, but it doesn't make much difference to him.
After all, his mission is just to keep this line.
Speaking of which, the opponent almost failed the mission by targeting the Xichuan City line.
Fortunately, the task settlement has not yet been completed in the Jiangxing system, otherwise Chen Ze would really have the idea of peeping out the skins of these three people.
The bad thing was that the number of people on the other side exceeded his expectations.
The original estimate was 20,000, but apart from the soldiers transporting baggage, he also had about 15,000 troops. With those few powerful generals, the strength gap of a few thousand could be made up.
However, the sudden increase in the strength of the opponent's troops somewhat disrupted Chen Ze's plan. If he wanted to take it all in one bite, his side would also pay a high price.
How can anyone not die in a war?
Having said that, Chen Ze would not regard human life as trivial, knowing that he could not do anything but forcing himself to gain military exploits and satisfy his own selfish desires, and let these brothers who believed in him and were willing to give their lives to him lose their lives in vain.
Because he has a better choice.
"Where is the next stop?"
After pondering for a moment, he asked sharply.
"I do not know about this!"
Du Jun simply shook his head. Knowing that he would die, he became much calmer. He looked directly at Chen Ze's questioning eyes and said in a deep voice: "We are just scouts responsible for monitoring the line of Xichuan City. What information we know
It’s limited to this line, the specific deployment is not our responsibility!”
The two people next to them also nodded hurriedly, and the expressions on their faces did not seem to be fake.
Chen Ze looked at Du Jun coldly. After a while, he nodded, spread out the march map, and said, "Show me where the canyon is!"
Du Jun did not hesitate, pointed directly on the map and said: "This is it!"
More than seventy miles to the northeast.
Sure enough, there is a very small canyon marked here on the map.
Chen Ze stared at the map, taking the canyon as the center point, and kept scanning it.
Spreading out from this canyon, the closest one is not the line of Xichuan City, but Fenghua City, which is more than thirty miles to the east.
The line of Fenghua City is defended by Xiyun City Lord Zheng Yuanlong.
Chen Ze thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and continued to patrol the map.
Qilin City.
This city fell into Chen Ze's sight, and then an entire supply line from Qilin City to Bo'an City was outlined.
This line is further away. You need to cross the supply line of Fenghua City and continue walking eastward for more than a hundred miles before you can reach the nearest point.
Once your eyes fall on the supply line in Qilin City, you will never be able to leave.
Yes, Fenghua City is indeed very close, but Chen Ze did not forget that there are scouts from the Zhu Yan Empire monitoring every supply line.
Even he was careless about these scouts, and the defensive troops on several other lines were probably about the same.
Therefore, the original strategy of taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and arranging defenders on each line to take the enemy by surprise completely fell into place.
Just like him here, the defenders on other lines must have been noticed by these scouts.
So, if the defenders discover it, which of the 20,000 troops under the command of the commander is easier to deal with, or the 25,000 troops under the command of the captain?
The answer is obvious.
The other party chose to start from Xichuan City because of the little strategist Chen Ze.
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are enough to compete with the defenders on each line. Although they can avoid encountering them without encountering them, if they encounter them, the opponent will naturally consider the degree of difficulty.
Qilin City, this line has the highest probability of being attacked!
After considering various factors, Chen Ze focused on the supply line between Qilin City and Bo'an City.
The distance is a bit far.
Chen Ze frowned for a moment, then glanced at the three kneeling people again, his eyes flickering with light.
"Chen Ming!"
He suddenly shouted: "I'll give you a thousand people and half an hour to sweep the place again. Make sure no one escapes!"
"yes!"
Chen Ming's body trembled and he said decisively: "If anyone escapes, I am willing to come and see you!"
The evil spirit on his face disappeared in a flash.
It was a great shame and humiliation for him to let these three people get away with it before. Now Chen Ze gave him a thousand people, and if he could still be avoided, he might as well die.
One thousand of the seven thousand cavalry led by Guo Zi, together with Chen Ming, disappeared into the dense forest again.
Du Jun and the others looked at Chen Ze's arrangements calmly until Chen Ming and others disappeared, and the three of them closed their eyes at the same time.
Everything that should be said and shouldn't be said has been said. Now what the three of them are waiting for is just a happy moment.
But Chen Ze didn't say anything, he just stood there silently, seeming to be waiting for Chen Ming's search results, and also seemed to be thinking about something.
Du Jun couldn't help it anymore, gritted his teeth and asked: "Sir, you just said you would give us a good time!"
Chen Ze glanced at him and said noncommittally: "Why, do you want to die so much?"
"Ah!"
Du Jun smiled miserably, "Who wants to die? But it's not up to us to choose!"
Who wants to die if he can live?
But everyone present knew that Du Jun and the other three men must die.
First of all, as enemy scouts who had sneaked into the Anluo Province, they would not end well if they were caught by their own side. Furthermore, in order to ensure a decent death, the three of them leaked the plans of the Zhu Yan Empire.
No matter which side they were on, there was no way for these three people to survive.
In fact, when they were selected to be the ambush soldiers who infiltrated the Anluo Province, Du Jun and others were conscious of dying in battle. The so-called wealth and wealth are gained through danger, and this risk was extremely high. If they could help the Zhu Yan Empire succeed in one blow,
, the future glory and wealth are just around the corner.
Therefore, they are not afraid of death, but Chen Ze's theory of completely peeling off human skin is too horrifying, and it has exceeded the fear of death of Du Jun and the other three, so they leaked it in order to die quickly and suffer less torture.
The plan of the Zhu Yan Empire was revealed.
How can such a person still survive?
However, what was unexpected was that Chen Ze smiled lightly and said something that shocked Du Jun and the other two.
"Actually, I have a way to survive here, and it can also make you become a hero of the Zhu Yan Empire. Not to mention receiving rewards, at least there is no problem in saving your life. Do you want to hear it?"
Can...save your life?
Can he still become a hero?
As soon as these words came out, Du Jun and the other three looked at each other in confusion, and for a moment there was an unreal feeling.
"Sir, what do you mean..."
