Be prepared for the battle!

After receiving Zheng Yuanyun's instructions, all the barracks stationed outside Ketan City became busy.

From the outside, there are still quiet camp tents with Qingyang Emperor flag floating, while the soldiers in the camp all have cold faces and are full of swords and crossbows.

This continued until...the next day.

The soldiers who had been tensely waiting for the war to come were all red.

Although the generals under Zheng Yuanyun had arranged to take turns on duty, everyone knew that the upcoming battle would be a million-level battle. In such a tense atmosphere, who else could really sleep?

Even Zheng Yuanyun's own tent was always brightly lit, and he, the supreme commander, could not sleep.

Can result...

When Xiao Du estimated the arrival time of the enemy troops had passed, and the army in Fengqi Province was still silent, Zheng Yuanyun realized that it was inappropriate.

The time has come, no one will tell you, and none of their own scouts came back to report the latest situation.

At first, he thought the scouts were staring at the movements of Ouyang Lixing's army, and it was understandable that they did not come back to report before the situation changed.

Although Xiao Du originally asked people to come back every once in a while to update the enemy's movements, he himself also had a lot of things to deal with. Moreover, from Dongping City to Ketan City was a straight line, so he ignored it.

But when the time came, no one came, and no one came back to report this abnormal behavior, which surprised Xiao Du.

It didn't appear in the expected time, which was enough information to be updated, so why is no one coming?

Not only Xiao Du, but also Zheng Yuanyun, were alert.

Because of the alertness in his heart, he ordered Xiao Du to lead the person out in person, and be sure to find out the other party's movements.

As a result, Xiao Du's trip was half a day, and the result he brought back surprised Zheng Yuanyun.

I thought Ouyang Lixing would lead a large army from Dongpingcheng, and his destination would of course be him.

At present, the Qingyang Empire invaded the Nantes province, except for a small number of troops stationed in the cities of Ter and Sili, most of them were sent to Ketan City by Zheng Yuanyun.

Since the other party wants to expel these foreign enemies, where will they go if they don’t come to Ketan City?

As a result, Xiao Du sent someone to the border to see that the post he had left here in advance had been uprooted and no one left behind.

In addition, there were scouts lying secretly nearby. When Xiao Du searched, all the bodies were found.

This shocked Xiao Du.

Of course, he knew that the scouts under his command were all elites he trained, and they were all masters in terms of lurking. If one or two were found, it was possible that they would be eliminated?

How is that possible?

However, no matter how Xiao Du doesn’t believe it, the facts are right in front of him, and what is more important than this matter is the movement of the Zhuyan Empire’s army!

Along the way, he saw traces of the army's advance.

There are two million people, and this trace cannot be erased, but the problem lies in the movement of the trace.

Ouyang Lixing's army did come out of the pass, but the march route was not moving towards Ketan City, but turned a corner as soon as it came out, and it actually went along the border line...

Going inland to Nantes Province!

Judging from this position, the other party would not go to Ketan City at all. On the contrary, they would stay away from each other until Zheng Yuanyun was afraid that he would not be able to see the other party's trace at all!

Xiao Du believed in his judgment very much. Such a large number of marching traces could not be created by just sending a small team of soldiers. The other party was really marching there.

And they did not hide at all, and even the scouts killed along the way were not dealt with, as if they were afraid that they would not know the route of the march.

What's the point of making?

Xiao Du, who is very good at exploring but has a poor overall view, cannot understand it, but at least he knows one thing, that is, the situation is probably not going as planned by Lord Zheng. He knew that it was not good enough, and he quickly returned to Zheng Yuanyun's tent in Ketan City to report the situation.

Zheng Yuanyun was also confused about this abnormality.

Don't come and beat him?

Then this is to...

On the other side, Chen Ming, who was following the army, smiled at Ouyang Lixing.

After a day and night of march, Ouyang Lixing's defense against Chen Ming was much relieved. More importantly, Chen Ming provided him with a very detailed piece of information.

This information is about Xiao Du's scouts arranged by him.

Of course, the information that Ouyang Lixing thought was handed over to Chen Ze before Chen Ming set out. In fact, when the army was walking along the way, Chen Ze saw the scouts distributed around based on Chen Ming's map, and then told Chen Ming.

This is more accurate than getting the distribution of scouts from Xiao Du. After all, scouts are humans and can move, and will not stay in their original place at all.

Ouyang Lixing also thought about this doubt. At the beginning, he disagreed with Chen Ming's intelligence and believed that it was an outdated piece of information.

However, when his subordinates followed the direction provided by Chen Ming, they caught one by one and failed, and Ouyang Lixing was convinced.

Of course, the object he was convinced was not the detailed information of Chen Ze, but the people who were convinced by Qingyang Empire were too honest.

This is simply called hiding wherever you go. You have no consciousness at all. After you dodge, you don’t even have any movement.

It seems that Zheng Yuanyun's training methods are also very average.

How clever can the commander who can train such a waste scout?

Zheng Yuanyun would never know that his evaluation in the other party's commander's mind had dropped countless levels so unknown, but all this had nothing to do with him.

In this way, Ouyang Lixing marched while lifting the obstacles on the road. After a day and night of rapid journey, he had already led his army far away from the scope of Ketan City.

Only then did I finally breathe a sigh of relief.

On the one hand, Chen Ze's plan could not allow Zheng Yuanyun to know about the movements of Zhu Yan's army, but he had to let him know.

If he had known it, once Zheng Yuanyun had learned about his real intentions, he would definitely try to send troops to stop him.

And at this time, when you can still fight with Zheng Yuanyun head-on, it is natural that you can avoid the war, so it is auspicious to avoid it.

At the same time, Ouyang Lixing had to give Zheng Yuanyun enough tips. After his army left, Zheng Yuanyun should know their movements so that he could catch up and eventually fall into the plan.

That's why he didn't let anyone erase the traces of the army's advance, and at the same time left the scout's body in its original place to give Zheng Yuanyun enough tips.

When the army finally left Ketan City, it was too late for Zheng Yuanyun to chase him, and this was the real way to put him in the trap.
