Chapter 393 No doubt
Are you willing?
Ma Hui and Wu Peng were asked this question by Chen Ze for the third time, but their expressions were no longer as determined as before.
Are you willing?
This is no longer asking them, but all the generals under Zheng Yuanyun.
They are willing, but what about others?
Or are they still so determined when they see countless soldiers rushing towards a dead end with no hope in sight?
Saying and doing are always two different things.
When Chen Ze asked for the first time just now, the two people's subconscious and instinctive reactions didn't actually explain anything.
If things really come to that point, who can say clearly what the truest thoughts they will reveal at that time?
What's more, we are all generals of Anluo Province, and we usually don't see each other when we look up, so who doesn't know each other?
Ma Hui and Wu Peng did not dare to vouch for it. They generals were not afraid of death and were willing to risk their lives for the commander's order.
People always have selfish motives, right?
When Chen Ze asked if he was willing for the third time, the two of them had already crossed a few names subconsciously.
The owners of those names shouldn't be willing, right?
The two looked at each other and saw the bitter smile hidden in the other's eyes. At this time, there was no question of anyone looking down on the other. To put it bluntly, if you have the guts, then go and die, but who has the right to ask others to be brave, and he is
Huddle back and watch indifferently?
"Master Chen, you mean... what Master Zheng encountered was..."
Wu Peng spoke cautiously. In just one sentence, he had already looked out the door several times. You can imagine the confusion in his heart.
Chen Ze smiled, shrugged and said, "You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"
"Wait a moment!"
Ma Hui suddenly shouted. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, your inference may be correct, but there is one thing you probably don't know yet!"
He just talked about what happened after he found out that Gu Qingfeng had sent a request for help, which made Chen Ze make that judgment. But in fact, there was another thing he didn't say.
And this incident is very likely to affect Chen Ze's view of the entire situation.
"oh?"
Chen Ze was surprised: "What else does General Ma have to say?"
"That's it..."
Ma Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Master Chen has been blocked in Ketan City. There is one thing that he must not be clear about, and that is about Fengqi Province."
"Fengqi Province?"
Chen Ze had a look of surprise on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.
How could he not know about Fengqi Province?
In fact, the march route of General Ouyang Lixing of Fengqi Province was formulated through him.
How can we say that we don’t know? How can we say that our ears and eyes are blocked?
But of course he couldn't say it openly, so he could only pretend to know nothing about it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "General Ma, what you mean is that Fengqi Province has also sent troops?"
"It's more than just sending troops!"
Ma Hui sighed: "Not long ago, Mr. Zheng received news that the commander-in-chief of Fengqi Province led an army of more than two million people from Dongping City. He removed our eyeliners along the way and posted troops along the mountain col.
As we move forward, we have now penetrated deep into the province of Nantes!"
"Look at the current crisis Master Zheng is facing, could it be caused by this army?"
he asked tentatively.
However, Chen Ze's response to this was extremely affirmative: "No!"
"this……"
Ma Hui frowned and said, "Why is Mr. Chen so sure?"
Chen Ze pointed at the map and said: "General Ma can see that given Master Zheng's position, he is actually not afraid of direct combat with others."
Ma Hui nodded. He could simulate the scene in his mind without looking at this position, and said thoughtfully: "So what Master Chen means is that even if the other party has an ambush there, it is impossible to hurt Master Zheng?"
"good!"
Chen Ze nodded and said: "If the opponent ambushes Mr. Zheng from our side of the river, then even if he can't defeat him, wouldn't it be possible for Mr. Zheng to even retreat when the strength of the troops is almost the same?"
"In addition, if the enemy is not ambushing us on the river bank, then another possibility is that they have entered Xilong City."
"After entering the city, the defense capabilities of Xilong City will be greatly increased, and the difficulty for Mr. Zheng to conquer Xilong City will also increase exponentially. As a result, it is very likely that he will not be able to conquer this city."
"But again, if we can't defeat it, can't we retreat?"
Chen Ze spread his hands and said helplessly: "Are you looking down on Mr. Zheng?"
"We never meant it!"
Ma Hui and Wu Xiang waved their hands again and again. How could they start talking about this? They didn't know how to do it, and they didn't dare to have such thoughts.
Chen Ze just said that casually, and said with a smile: "So I think that even if there is an additional prerequisite mentioned by General Ma, my previous inference will still not change, and it can pose a threat to Mr. Zheng, and may not even be possible."
If we don't send back soldiers to ask for help, there will only be one situation, and that is..."
He put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Mutiny!"
"It can only be a mutiny, it can only be internal strife in the army led by Lord Zheng, which will cause him to suddenly be in crisis and have to send people for help."
"I think he is probably trapped inside his own military formation, so he urgently needs General Ma to send someone to rescue him."
Clicking his finger on the map, Chen Ze said seriously.
"mutiny!"
Ma Hui had a headache. Chen Ze had already hinted at this before, but he never said it clearly. But after he provided the information about the movements in Fengqi Province, Chen Ze still gave this.
in conclusion.
And he couldn't refute it yet.
"General Ma."
Seeing that both of them stopped talking, Chen Ze couldn't help but said: "If I were you, I would never delay here again, unless you don't want to save Mr. Zheng."
"this……"
Ma Hui was not excited by Chen Ze's words, or even wanted to refute him. On the contrary, his expression showed even more hesitation.
Before coming here, he had the idea of listening if he could, and if he couldn't, he would stop. Since he had no idea here, he might as well listen to what Chen Ze would say.
In any case, Chen Ze is the person that Mr. Zheng dislikes and even wants to get rid of. To put it bluntly, Chen Ze and Mr. Zheng probably regard him as an enemy.
Take advice from your enemies?
This is ridiculous in itself. If Wu Peng hadn't insisted repeatedly and Ma Hui himself was in a dilemma, he would never have chosen to come to Chen Ze.
However, Chen Ze's analysis, word for word, left him with no way to refute or question it.
