"You're not going?"

Yang Mingzhong was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief.

This is a great achievement!

Capturing the province of Nantes is a great achievement that will shock not only Bo'an City, but even the entire Qingyang Empire!

The four empires have been fighting for a long time, and their foundations have long been solidified. They may have been there before, but Yang Mingzhong can't remember the last time an entire province was captured by an enemy.

At this time, if they follow Chen Ze's plan, they have a high chance of success in taking over the province of Nantes, at least...

Eighty percent!

This is still a very conservative estimate by Yang Mingzhong.

Chen Ze thought that he would not let go of this credit, but he was only sent to assist him. Although he had merit, he only accounted for a very small part of it.

But even so, Yang Mingzhong was satisfied. Being able to take a bite of this sweet and delicious baked cake, what else could he be dissatisfied about?

But judging from Chen Ze's intention, he didn't want to take the credit and gave it to him.

Happiness came so suddenly that Yang Mingzhong began to doubt whether there was fraud in it. After all, who would be dissatisfied with having too much credit?

If he can monopolize this great achievement, among other things, his military rank, which has not been touched for a long time, will definitely be raised. From governor to commander-in-chief, he will have the opportunity to be on the same level as the city lord!

Chen Ze sighed.

He doesn't want the credit?

Just like Yang Mingzhong thought, who would think that he deserves too much credit?

Of course, his so-called credit is naturally the battle merit points in the general star system.

You must know that the actual number of soldiers under his command was only 30,000. Although Yang Mingzhong brought 500,000 soldiers, they were also said to be under his command.

But Chen Ze believed that Yang Mingzhong would not really hand over military power.

Otherwise, why did Zheng Yuanyun send this governor? Wouldn't it be better to just send a partial general to transport the troops into Chen Ze's hands?

After all, Zheng Yuanyun still guarded against Chen Ze and did not trust him unreservedly. The arrival of Yang Mingzhong was a restriction on Chen Ze.

In this case, he followed to attack the province of Nantes?

Did you take a long trip to a high mountain and end up as an audience in the back, cheering for Yang Mingzhong?

He only has 30,000 troops. If he were to fight a siege with a very high casualty rate, he would be dead in just two hits. How much merit would he gain?

In this case, why would he go and join in the fun?

On the contrary, the credit mentioned by Yang Mingzhong is naturally referring to the real credit. Does Chen Ze care about this?

meeting.

In this world, people with higher military ranks can obtain better resources. Just like now, if Chen Ze's military rank is sufficient, his words will carry more weight and he can naturally command more troops. So if this

He leads half a million troops, and of course he will personally attack the province of Nantes.

But the credit that Bo'an City will give him will not be reduced just because he does not go to Nantes Province. After all, Chen Ze is planning the entire plan. Although Zheng Yuanyun will take most of it afterwards, the rest will not be lost.

Chen Ze's share is also indispensable, which is enough for him to be promoted to military rank.

He is the secret and real commander of the Qingyang Empire in this battle, and no one can deny this!

"I can not go."

Faced with Yang Mingzhong's doubts, Chen Ze naturally did not say anything explicitly. Instead, he used the words he had thought of for a long time and said: "If we want to attack the province of Nantes, we must first solve a problem."

He pointed at Bo'an City and said: "We cannot let the enemy see through our intentions and forcefully break out of the city while the troops in the rear are weak."

"So on this side, we should also put some pressure on them so that they don't dare to act rashly."

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhong nodded clearly and said, "So Brother Chen wants to stay and let the other party know that there are indeed troops encircling the rear?"

Chen Zedao: "That's exactly it."

"But your military strength..."

Yang Mingzhong hesitated and said: "Is there some shortcomings?"

He knew that Chen Ze only had 30,000 men. Once such a small force showed up, he might have failed to set up the old suspicion formation, but instead the opponent would see the flaw, which would be bad.

Chen Ze smiled and said: "I am more than 30,000 people."

"Has General Yang forgotten that in addition to soldiers, there are also a large number of prisoners of war here?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Mingzhong suddenly understood.

Chen Zeshou has been here for a long time, and an unknown number of enemy baggage troops have been intercepted. It is impossible for him to kill all of these troops, and there will definitely be a large number of prisoners.

As long as they are properly arranged, wouldn't these prisoners be able to...

"I see, then there are brothers Lao Chen!"

Yang Mingzhong had a great heart and solemnly clasped his fists at Chen Ze.

The two of them did not waste any time and discussed the matter of attacking the province of Nantes. Yang Mingzhong was also a veteran of the march. Chen Ze did not need to worry about how to attack and which city to attack first, and he did not interfere too much.

As for the food and grass, Yang Mingzhong arrived in a hurry. The troops did not carry much food and grass, but Chen Ze happened to intercept a large amount of food and grass. He was not stingy and directly distributed a huge amount of food and grass to Yang Mingzhong, which was enough for the other party for fifty years.

Wan Dajun replenished it for a month.

It's only ten days' journey from here to the nearest city of Tell in the province of Nantes. This amount of supplies is completely sufficient.

In this way, the two soldiers divided into two groups and went to different locations.

at the same time.

"Master Coach!"

Zhang Chengwang, who returned to the city lord's palace, was waiting for intelligence from all parties. Intelligence agents kept coming in and out. The next person to come in from the door was the scout sent to the outer gate of Bo'an City.

The outer city gate is the main city gate, facing the province of Nantes, where Zhang Chengwang led his army to attack before.

"As expected by the commander-in-chief, there is indeed a large enemy army blocking the route between us and the province of Nantes!"

As soon as the scout entered the meeting hall, he hurriedly reported.

"What about the scale? How many?"

Zhang Chengwang asked in a deep voice, this was the issue he was most concerned about.

"About...seven or seven hundred thousand people!"

The scout hesitated for a moment and then gave a stuttering number.

"perhaps?"

Zhang Chengwang frowned.

"Commander, the enemy's camp is huge and the surrounding area is heavily fortified. My subordinates and brothers have spent a lot of effort and can only roughly estimate this number. However, I can guarantee that the number will not fluctuate too much."

The scout responded hurriedly. He also knew that these were extraordinary times, so he was extremely careful with his words and did not want to offend Zhang Chengwang.

"Seven hundred thousand……"

Zhang Chengwang frowned. To be honest, this number did not surprise him. On the contrary, it was normal to have such a large number of troops.

"Do you want to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
