Chen Ze could see from the map that the scouts who were originally scattered and sneaking around gradually began to gather together consciously.

When they realized that they might be threatened by potential unknown enemies, they decisively changed their original stealth methods without instructions from their superiors. It must be said that the quality of this batch of scouts was very high.

But so what?

No matter how high they are, they are still far behind Gu Qingfeng and others, and with the guidance of the map, Chen Ze knows their movements very well.

If the opponent gathered together, they could gather together as well. Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, the combined attack tactics of Gu Qingfeng and the four of them were unmatched by ordinary soldiers.

You must know that before the five of them were trained by Chen Ze, when they worked together, they were able to compete with Xu Qing, who possessed General Ma Teng. The strength of their fighting skills was evident.

No matter how elite these scouts are, they are not beyond the level of soldiers. It is not difficult for Gu Qingfeng to deal with them.

The only troublesome thing is that some of them are fast runners, and they are almost rushing to the vicinity of Ter City. However, Tang Tianxing has been arranged in advance to guard the main road, so Chen Ze is not too worried.

Even if Tang Tianxing misses, with Wang Ping's general skills, he can quickly find the opponent's position through the map and then wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Chen Ze paid attention to the situation on Gu Qingfeng's side for a while and found that the situation was still under control, and then cut off contact with Gu Qingfeng's side.

He doesn't have many military exploits anymore, and he can no longer squander as much as before. At least, until he finds other ways to gain military exploits, Chen Ze can only save one point at a time.

The situation is all under control.

From then on, Chen Zecai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it is Ouyang Lixing's side, Xilongcheng's side, or Gu Qingfeng's side, the situation in the three aspects is developing in the direction he expected, which is always good news.

So next...

He frowned and thought for a while. Although the situation was developing in a good direction, in fact, he was still the passive one.

It was his suggestion that Ouyang Lixing go far to the border.

Zheng Yuanyun captured Xilong City because he managed to get Ouyang Lixing to follow his advice. Due to Ouyang Lixing's movements, Zheng Yuanyun had to give up Chen Ze for the time being and attack Xilong City quickly.

It is not wrong to say that every link in this process is due to Chen Ze's planning.

But the question is, will those people always develop as Chen Ze hopes?

For example, when Ouyang Li Xingruo was halfway through, he suddenly felt that his troops were so huge, while Zheng Yuanyun's side had been depleted due to the battle in Xilong City. Furthermore, although he was marching in a hurry during this period,

But the soldiers have almost recovered from the exhaustion of the battle. One thing is going down, the other is going up, but in fact they may not be unable to fight.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, but what if Ouyang Lixing really had this plan by accident?

After all, Chen Ze still couldn't completely control the thoughts of a commander-in-chief, let alone that the commander-in-chief actually belonged to the enemy's general, but they had reached an intention to cooperate because they had the same purpose at the moment.

Even if there is such a change, it is actually reasonable and Chen Ze has no control over it.

The same goes for Zheng Yuanyun.

It was good that he captured Xilong City, but in this battle, after all, he ignored the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers just to capture the city.

Who could tell that after taking Xilong City, his soldiers would still be resentful of him and would not want to serve him anymore, so they would start a mutiny or something like that?

The mutiny could be big or small, and Zheng Yuanyun had to deal with it first anyway, so it was possible that he would choose not to attack, but to stay where he was, or to return to Ketan City for repairs.

And this is just a hypothesis. To put it bluntly, if one day Zheng Yuanyun returns from his dream at midnight and suddenly realizes that Chen Ze is actually a greater threat, and then chooses to suddenly return his troops to deal with Chen Ze first, wouldn't this be possible?

Is it possible?

After all, the situation is not completely controlled by Chen Ze alone. There are many variables, any of which will catch him off guard.

Just like when he first arrived in Nantes Province, he originally thought he was just coming for a walk. Who would have thought that Yan Haomiao of the Bailie Empire would be waiting for him here?

Just wait, when he thought he could reach a cooperation with Yan Haomiao to get what they needed, who would have thought that because of the old grudge between the other party and Mr. Luo, Yan Haomiao had made up his mind to include him as well.

They will be dealt with together in this war.

Because of this, Chen Zecai was forced to choose to attack Xifeng City from afar and use it as a stronghold. He planned and deployed bit by bit, and finally took back the initiative.

Yan Haomiao was a variable that Chen Ze could not control at the beginning, and because of this variable, he almost died in Fengqi Province.

Of course Chen Ze would not want to experience this kind of thing again. In any case, he felt more at ease since the initiative was still in his own hands.

So regarding the current situation, Zheng Yuanyun can't turn around and deal with him at least now. During this period, what Chen Ze has to do is to try to take back the initiative that belongs to him.

For example...leave Ketan City!

He had always had this idea, but Zheng Yuanyun had besieged the city with an army of more than two million men, and he couldn't get out even if he wanted to.

But now that Zheng Yuanyun is gone, he still doesn't want to let him go, and still leaves half a million elite troops to besiege the city.

However, compared to the more than two million before, and even Zheng Yuanyun personally in charge, although these half a million elite soldiers on the periphery are still unable to deal with it, it is better than when Zheng Yuanyun is personally present.

There is no way…it’s not that there is no way!

Chen Ze was thinking about it, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and his heart suddenly moved, thinking of Gu Qingfeng.

Maybe...

Suddenly, my mind suddenly became enlightened. When I thought of Gu Qingfeng, a plan emerged in my mind.

"Yes, you can do this!"

The knitted brows suddenly widened, and at the same time, his mind quickly sank into his mind, and he answered the call with Gu Qingfeng that he had just hung up on.

"Lord?"

Gu Qingfeng was lurking at the foot of a hillside, waiting for his prey to pass by.

The sudden call from Chen Ze made him look slightly startled, but he still responded quickly.

"Do you have the request for aid handwritten by Zheng Yuanyun and the token?"

Chen Ze asked directly.

They found a total of seven documents requesting aid, and Gu Qingfeng had two here.
