There was silence in the meeting hall.

Chen Ze looked at the two of them, and they were also looking at him.

Wu Peng, who was more familiar with Chen Ze, said: "Master Chen, do you think this matter...is there any truth to it?"

He asked very directly, but Chen Ze smiled bitterly when he heard it.

Chen Ze touched his nose and did not look at Wu Peng. Instead, he looked at Ma Hui, who had been silent from the beginning, and said with a smile: "General Ma is also here to ask me what I think about this matter?"

Hearing this, Ma Hui's brows raised slightly, but he didn't hide it. He simply said: "Yes, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter, but I can't figure out what exactly went wrong."

"That's why Brother Wu suggested that we come to Master Chen to ask. After all, when we were in Xifeng City, I had seen Master Chen's unparalleled wisdom. I think he can give us some advice."

He said this calmly, as if he really came to ask for advice, but when he said this, his eyes kept falling on Chen Ze's face, as if he wanted to find some clues from it.

Chen Ze naturally felt something, but he didn't say anything. He only waited for his words to fall before he smiled and said, "Are you sure my answer will be fair in this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Hui and Wu Peng looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Of course they knew what Chen Ze was saying, and they also knew very well that Lord Zheng Yuanyun chose to besiege the city because of Chen Xieling, who was still a junior military officer.

Yes, this matter has a personal stake in Chen Ze.

Once they withdraw their troops, it means that the siege of Chen Ze will also be withdrawn. When the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can leap, where will they go to surround him?

Asked Chen Ze for his opinion, even if it was a fair opinion, Ma Hui believed that he would subconsciously think one or two more things. This was why he originally disagreed with Wu Peng's suggestion and came to see Chen Ze.

But if he relied solely on himself, he would be at a loss for a while and couldn't figure out a clue at all.

What's even more hateful is that, except for Wu Peng, the other generals in the army just look like they are just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and no one will give him reasonable suggestions or opinions. All he can rely on is

Just yourself.

So after much thought, he agreed to Wu Peng's suggestion and ran to Ketan City to find Chen Ze.

Even if Chen Ze has other thoughts, he will still have some insights, which is better than nothing.

"Master Chen!"

Thinking of this, Ma Hui cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I know some of the disputes between you and Mr. Zheng, and I also know the real reason why Ketan City was besieged. However, I also know

I believe that Mr. Chen, you are a talented general and prime minister of our Qingyang Empire, and you will not take these trivial matters to your heart."

While he was talking, he looked at Chen Ze, but he saw Chen Ze looking at him with a half-smile, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The talent of a general?

Little things?

Zheng Yuanyun made it clear that he wanted to kill Chen Ze, how could this be a trivial matter?

In order to get Chen Ze's help, he simply said this bravely, and even after saying it, he didn't quite believe it.

But I don’t believe it…that’s all it can do.

"General Ma is overrated. I am not as great as you say."

Chen Ze shook his head and saw that the faces of the two of them became ugly, and added: "But this matter is also of great benefit to the people below. If you must listen to the advice, it is not impossible."

"oh?"

Ma Hui and Wu Peng were both stunned, and their already desperate hearts were ignited with some hope.

Yes, Chen Ze is right, this matter will be of great benefit to him.

The advantage is that he can solve the besieging army without spending a single soldier. He can solve the problem without doing anything or just speaking.

It's just that Chen Ze said it openly, and whether Ma Huicai adopts the subsequent suggestions will be up to him.

"Master Chen, it doesn't matter. We two brothers still have great trust in Master Chen!"

Without any explanation, Wu Peng gave him a high hat first.

He saw Chen Ze slowly walking towards the head of the meeting hall, where a map of the province of Nantes was spread out on the table. He walked over, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two generals, you might as well come over and take a look."

?”

Ma Hui and Ma Hui looked at each other, walked up to Chen Ze, and saw Chen Ze's hand pointing at one of the points, saying: "This is Xilong City."

The two of them nodded. They had seen that position countless times, and even with their eyes closed, they could point to it without any mistakes.

"Xilong City is separated by a wide moat. If Mr. Zheng wants to attack the city, the first difficulty he will face is this moat. And if I were the enemy's commander and wanted to defend the city, I would definitely

The bridge will be cut off in advance and the boats will be destroyed, forcing Mr. Zheng to choose to forcefully cross the river."

The two nodded again, this strategy did not exceed their expectations.

"So there will be a dike here!"

Chen Ze pointed to a place upstream, "Wait until Master Zheng's attack is at its strongest to open the gate and release the water, and use the flood peak to wash away more than half of the soldiers crossing the river. This is a trump card."

The two stood still and looked up at Chen Ze.

It's not that this plan is complicated, but what Chen Ze said, they have already thought of it, and they couldn't help but say: "But Lord Zheng's army is huge, even if part of it is washed away by the flood, the water storage place cannot cause long-term damage."

Flood, after the water calms down, Lord Zheng can still attack the city by force!"

"Yes, the problem lies in the word force!"

Chen Ze said in a deep voice: "The current situation is fierce and dangerous. If Lord Zheng wants to quickly capture Xilong City, he will have to sacrifice part of his troops to forcefully cross the river and fight the enemy. So, at this time...

"

He said meaningfully: "General Wu, if Master Zheng asks you to lead your troops across the river, do you think you will go, knowing that you will die?"

"I?"

Wu Peng was stunned, closed his eyes and imagined the scene, and suddenly said firmly: "To save the general from the worries of the country, since it is an order from the general, I think I will go."

"good!"

Chen Ze nodded and looked at Ma Hui again, "General Ma, after General Wu died, Lord Zheng ordered you to join the death squad. Will you go?"

"this……"

Ma Hui pondered, and then said firmly: "I received a salary from the empire, and I have long had the consciousness to sacrifice my life for the country. I think I will go too!"

"very good."

Chen Ze nodded again and said: "With the width of the river, even if the two generals die for their country, it is still impossible to capture Xilong City. Therefore, Mr. Zheng has to send a third general to die."
