"General Ma, what are you still hesitating about?"

Seeing his expression, Chen Ze knew clearly where the other party's hesitation lay.

However, if you know it, you know it, and it is not up to him to clarify this statement.

After hearing what Chen Ze said, the hesitation on Ma Hui's face became more intense. He thought about it and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, I have to say that your analysis is very reasonable.

I can't find any mistakes or omissions in it, but..."

He raised his head, looked directly into Chen Ze's eyes, and said word by word: "There is something I really don't understand."

Chen Ze was not afraid to look at him and said: "General Ma, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"What I want to say is..."

Ma Hui thought about his words and said in a serious voice: "Since Mr. Chen has seen so thoroughly, he should not be unable to see the purpose of Mr. Zheng in letting you guard Ketan City, as well as the purpose of the large number of troops on the periphery to seal the city.

?”

As soon as Chen Ze said this, Wu Peng's expression changed slightly and he gently pulled Ma Hui's clothes.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Ze, on the other hand, laughed out loud. He waved his hand to Wu Peng and said, "It doesn't matter, this is actually a good question."

"But..."

He smiled at Ma Hui and said, "Didn't you just say that I am a general and prime minister with a capacity to accommodate others?"

"Now I use this sentence as an explanation, will you be convinced, General Ma?"

As soon as these words came out, both Ma Hui and Wu Peng bowed their heads and remained silent.

That sentence?

It's just a polite comment, but how could it really be true?

Chen Ze smiled and saw that the two of them were silent, so he shook his head and said, "Of course, this is just a joke. If General Ma really wants to hear my real thoughts, then he might as well tell me."

Ma Hui raised his head when he heard this, looked at Chen Ze, and said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, please speak."

Chen Ze lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Yes, as General Ma said, I can see through the war ahead, and naturally I also know the purpose of Mr. Zheng's purpose of trapping me in Ketan City."

"Being sleepy means being sleepy. There is no need to say that you are stubborn." Seeing Wu Peng wanting to speak, Chen Ze waved his hand to stop him: "Actually, we all know it, don't we?"

Wu Peng, who wanted to explain, suddenly swallowed back his words.

"Master Zheng doesn't like me, I understand that. He wants to kill me, I also understand."

Chen Ze sighed: "This happened by chance, no wonder who came."

"So General Ma is very confused, why do I try my best to help General Ma with advice even though I know Lord Zheng wants to get rid of me, and even express my intention to rescue Lord Zheng."

"Actually, this is not difficult to guess. I am just trying to save myself."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and saw Ma Hui's eyes flashing with confusion, and asked softly: "Self-rescue?"

"Where do you start talking about this?"

Chen Zedao: "Actually, it's very simple. The situation with Mr. Zheng is critical, but it's not necessarily how critical it is."

"Although the possibility of mutiny is very high, if you really want to talk about it, it will only be a small part, and even the small part that is related to your own life."

"You have to know that Lord Zheng's purpose is to attack Xilong City quickly, so for this, he can accept the loss of part of his troops, but this number will never be too large. According to my estimation..."

Chen Ze touched his nose and looked like he was thinking, but only he knew clearly that what he was talking about at this time was nothing more than the war that had already been fought, and he was just following the script.

"Three hundred thousand!"

He held out three fingers and said categorically: "The maximum loss of troops that Mr. Zheng can bear is three hundred thousand. Once this number exceeds this number, it will be meaningless for him to attack Xilong City quickly. Even if he takes it, it will be useless."

It will have an impact on subsequent strategic deployment.”

"In fact, the number of troops he lost should be less than this, otherwise how could there be a mutiny?"

Chen Ze smiled and said: "You must know that not all armies are suitable for crossing the river and siege the city. For example, cavalry, archers, and many functional arms are not suitable for charging and siege. With Master Zheng's troop configuration

, it is estimated that most of the troops that can really be used for charge are sword and shield bearers. In other words, in his army, the casualties of sword and shield bearers will be very heavy, so you can imagine."

"The source of the mutiny came from these infantry arms!"

"Other troops may respond, but after all, the matter has nothing to do with us. Except for some soldiers who are involved with the Sword and Shieldmen troops, there will not be too many responders."

"Then this mutiny, apart from being able to trap Mr. Zheng in place and unable to order an attack on the city, he will not actually suffer much loss."

"The main reason why I need you to support me is that the Swordsmen and Shieldmen are blocking the perimeter, making it impossible for Mr. Zheng to advance or retreat. Naturally, these mutinous troops cannot be retained."

"So there will be a problem, that is, Mr. Zheng has indeed lost the troops that are within his tolerance, but the result in exchange is not satisfactory. He still cannot continue to attack the city, so he wants you

We rushed there as quickly as possible. To put it bluntly, we just wanted to replenish our troops, and because your troops have not witnessed the tragic situation of those who fought to die, they will be more receptive to Lord Zheng's orders."

"So, does General Ma understand?"

Seeing Ma Hui's stunned silence, Chen Ze had to explain: "In other words, in fact, there is no problem with Mr. Zheng's safety. The problem is just whether we can attack Xilong City."

"Master Zheng, who is in a dilemma, will be able to capture this city with your help. At that time, General Ma and General Wu would like to give me a few kind words and mention that your support has some relationship with me.

That’s it.”

"I believe that Master Zheng will change his mind after learning that I secretly helped him. At least he will no longer be so murderous. In this way..."

He chuckled and said, "Tell me, you two, am I saving myself?"

"I see!"

Wu Peng suddenly said: "Master Chen actually has this idea!"

"This is also a helpless move."

Chen Ze sighed and said: "No matter what, we are all generals of Anluo Province. I still understand the principle of both prosperity and prosperity."

"It would be fine if the Anluo Province cannot win the Nantes Province this time, but if our army is defeated or even counterattacked due to the losses caused by Mr. Zheng, then none of us will be able to hold it accountable from above.

It cannot be separated."
