"No need to chase?"

Li Hesong was stunned when he heard this and looked at Chen Ze without knowing why.

"The total number of these cavalry is only a few thousand. Now that the Zhu Yan Empire's plan has been exposed, we only need to convey the situation here to each city. With the precautions in place, they will have no chance to take action."

Chen Ze said in a deep voice: "Besides, the terrain of Anluo Province is not all the same as the line of Qilin City, but a vast plain. With their single army, it is really difficult for them to achieve success."

"That's right..."

Li Hesong touched his chin and muttered: "But these people are always a hidden danger. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, what if something happens, or there are still their people elsewhere..."

"In my opinion, it's better to hunt down and kill them as much as you can. Even if you can't annihilate them all, it would be good to weaken their strength at least."

"Besides..." He chuckled, rubbed his hands and said, "Isn't this all credit?"

Chen Ze was dumbfounded. Is this Li Hesong's true purpose?

Although the other party does not have a general star system, the Qingyang Empire does have a military aircraft department, and it will still assess the military merits of outstanding generals during wartime.

Usually, the number of enemy troops killed will be a very important assessment criterion.

It’s no wonder that Li Hesong arrived so quickly after receiving the news from Chen Ming. Those soldiers from the Zhu Yan Empire were meritorious in Chen Ze’s eyes, so how could they not be in Li Hesong’s eyes?

"General Li, please rest assured. If you do as I'm told, you will get more credit than less!"

After all, the other party had a higher military rank than him. Chen Ze did not force Li Hesong to do what he wanted, but chose to induce him with benefits.

"oh?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Hesong raised his eyebrows.

He couldn't believe Chen Ze's ability now, otherwise how could he get the credit he was holding now?

Originally, chasing down those cavalrymen was just a supplement to his military exploits that was better than nothing. Now, when he heard that there were even greater merits, how could he not be interested.

Chen Ze glanced at the two Zhu Yan scouts who were tied up, and without saying a word, he took out the map from his arms and spread it flat on the ground.

"General Li, the enemy troops sneaking into Anluo Province are no longer a threat. Later, we will send people to inform the cities and ask them to be more careful. And your troops..."

He pointed to the east side of the map and said: "I hope you will go all the way east. Along the way, you will pass the supply line defended by Lord Yang of Biping City. Then, together with his troops, we will go to these points on the eastern border to guard against them.

We must defend to the death and not let a single Zhu Yan Empire soldier escape!"

In one breath, Chen Ze pointed out five locations on the map. Li Hesong, who was watching him pointing out the directions, didn't seem to be doing much, but the expressions of the two Zhu Yan scouts suddenly changed.

"Are you surprised how I know?"

Just as the other party's expression changed drastically, Chen Ze turned his head and grinned at the two of them without any warning.

His smile was quite mocking in the eyes of Zhu Yan and the two of them. One of them, who was more impatient, couldn't help but blurt out: "How do you know?"

"you shut up!"

His companion next to him couldn't stop him, so he hit him hard and said angrily: "He's cheating on you!"

Unfortunately, it was too late, Chen Ze had already gotten the information he wanted.

Is it a scam?

In fact, it is more accurate to say it is testing or confirmation.

Not long after these two people were caught, Li Hesong came to serve as reinforcements, and they probably didn't have the chance to interrogate them rigorously.

But Chen Ze was interrogated.

He also captured three Zhu Yan scouts and learned most of the information from Du Jun.

These five locations on the map are where Du Jun told him that Zhu Yan's ambush soldiers sneaked into the entrance of Anluo Province.

Chen Ze somewhat believed what Du Jun said, but of course he could not believe it completely, so he deliberately discussed the military situation with Li Hesong in the presence of two scouts, and deliberately pointed out these five locations.

Of these two people, one is calm-minded, while the other is obviously more impulsive. Judging from their unexpected reactions, the information Du Jun told them should be true.

Chen Ze's sudden move not only successfully deceived Scout Zhu Yan, but also made Li and Song slightly stunned, a little confused about the situation.

"Brother Chen, why should I guard these five locations?"

he asked in confusion.

“We can’t talk about this yet!”

Chen Ze smiled at him mysteriously, then straightened his face and said: "But this matter is of great importance. If General Li and City Lord Zheng can complete this task, I can guarantee that your contribution will be great!"

"Of course, with great credit comes great responsibility. Please make sure that no one escapes back to the Zhu Yan Empire!"

silence.

The smile that had always been on Li Hesong's face disappeared at this moment.

The more solemn Chen Ze spoke, the more he proved the importance of the matter, and the request to not let anyone go seemed too strict.

"This... Brother Chen, the other party is a cavalry!"

Li Hesong thought for a while and looked back.

Naturally, he didn't see anything, but with this action, he said: "Those who ran away were all cavalry. They were already fast, and I sent people to chase them after annihilating their infantry units."

."

"After such a long time, if they want to escape, they will arrive at the place you mentioned before my troops!"

Chen Ze shook his head and said: "No, it's true that they set off first before you, but within an hour, they will not arrive before you!"

"how do I say this?"

Li Hesong asked immediately.

"Because... they are enemy troops!"

Chen Zedao: "Even if they wear the military uniforms of Zhangning City as a cover, they don't dare to act arrogantly in Anluo Province, right?"

"Before, it was okay to say that the Zhu Yan Empire's intentions were not exposed and they could act a little bolder. But now that they have just suffered a defeat, it is a time of panic. They are asked to cross half a province without any scruples to reach those few

Location, it’s impossible.”

"And General Lee, look!"

He pointed at the map with one hand and explained to Li Hesong: "Go past here, and after a short distance, it will no longer be a plain terrain. The further east you go, the more mountain roads and dense forests there will be, and there will even be two roads in the middle.

The river must be passed through the bridge. These are roads that are not suitable for cavalry to travel. If they want to go fast, they have to follow the official road, but do they dare?"

"They don't dare, but General Li can. You can lead your people straight along the official road. There will be no problem at all if you encounter checkpoints and sentries along the way."

"So no matter how you look at it, as long as you are fast enough and take a flat road, of course you will be faster than them!"
