It's him again!

Who is this kid?

As he entered Xiyun City, Yang Siming couldn't help but glance at Chen Ze, but what he saw was the indifferent attitude of the other party.

It seems that this little counselor named Chen Ze has long been accustomed to such scenes.

When he learned that Biping City's reinforcements had arrived, the city lord Zheng Yuanlong had been waiting in the square inside the city gate. When Yang Siming entered the city, he laughed loudly and shouted from a distance: "Old Yang, long time no see!"

"snort!"

Yang Siming had seen him early, and when he saw that this man was actually still in Xiyun City, his anger immediately rushed to the top of his head. How could he give him a good look? He snorted heavily from his nostrils as a response.

"Old Yang, what are you..."

When he got closer, Zheng Yuanlong didn't know what was going on. In a blink of an eye, he saw Chen Zezheng smiling bitterly, and his face was full of doubts, "But Brother Chen has offended you?"

"he?"

Yang Siming glared at Zheng Yuanlong, "A little counselor won't offend me, but you..."

The two of them were at the same level of governor, so it was said that Yang Siming was still a little lower than Zheng Yuanlong, but he and his eldest brother were life-and-death friends, so he regarded Zheng Yuanlong as a brother and spoke without any scruples.

"I?"

Zheng Yuanming was even more confused.

Fortunately, Chen Ze smiled bitterly from the side and said: "General Yang, you have misunderstood the Lord of the City. It is better to go back to the Lord of the City first. After the Lord of the City explains to you, everything will become clear."

Because of his doubts about Chen Ze and what he saw along the way, Yang Siming had a better attitude towards Chen Ze, but his tone was still cold and he said: "General, I want to hear what you have to say!"

Immediately, he ordered his adjutant to take the people of Biping City to the barracks for temporary resettlement. He took only a few of his close disciples and rushed to the city lord's mansion along with Zheng Yuanlong and Chen Ze.

…………………………

"This is just your speculation!"

In the city lord's palace, after listening to Chen Ze's explanation of the cause and effect, Yang Siming suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Based on just one speculation, you dare to ignore the danger of Bo'an and stay here with peace of mind?"

"You still want my general's troops to join in to accompany you in your madness?"

Zheng Yuanlong was calm and waited until he finished speaking before saying: "Old Yang, just tell me if this is possible."

These words made Yang Siming stunned for a moment, and then he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. After a while, he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "It is not impossible to combine the strangeness of the Poison Mist Forest!"

"That's it!"

Zheng Yuanlong slapped his thigh, "This matter is not trivial. As Brother Chen said, if this matter is untrue, our trip will be in vain at most. With our current military strength, it will not have a big impact on the overall situation, but if it is true,

of……"

The words changed and he said in a deep voice: "Lao Yang, you want to save my eldest brother as a brother's gratitude, but have you ever thought about how to really save my eldest brother?"

"this……"

Yang Siming pondered.

He already understood the whole thing, and had to admit that Chen Ze's analysis sounded alarmist, but it was not impossible.

If this is really the case, if he sends the few troops he has to Bo'an City, not only will he not be able to send reinforcements to Zheng Yuanyun, but it will actually increase the burden on Bo'an City.

Zheng Yuanlong looked at Yang Siming's hesitation and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Not long ago, he had questioned Chen Ze face to face in this hall. In the blink of an eye, he had become Chen Ze's lobbyist again, trying hard to get another person to agree with this view. It was really... kind of...

The feeling of being slapped in the face.

However, in order to save his eldest brother, Zheng Yuanlong had nothing to lose, and he had to put Bo'an as the top priority.

"By the way, Lao Yang, how many people did you bring this time?"

When the two met, they were full of excitement. Zheng Yuanlong still didn't know how many troops the other party had.

"Seventy thousand!"

Yang Siming glanced at him and said, "My own authority is fifty thousand, so I brought two captains out and borrowed ten thousand troops each, almost wiping out all the troops in Biping City!"

"Seventy thousand?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows. This number was more than expected. Adding the more than 40,000 in Xiyun City itself, the total could reach more than 110,000.

After hearing this number, Zheng Yuanlong also straightened his face, bowed deeply to Yang Siming, and solemnly said: "Brother, on behalf of my eldest brother, thank Brother Yang for your kindness!"

Biping City is just a small subsidiary city, larger than Xiyun City but also limited. Zheng Yuanlong knew that Biping City's standing military strength was just over 70,000.

At this moment, Yang Siming was almost brought out. As the lord of a city, he did not consider the safety of his own city at all, which shows the importance of his friendship.

Yang Siming did not dodge, and after accepting Zheng Yuanlong's bow, he said: "I have to say, you have convinced me, but I still have questions."

"Brother Yang, please speak!"

Zheng Yuanlong said urgently, and changed his address to Yang Siming from a casual "Lao Yang" to an honorific title, even though his military rank was still higher than that of him.

Yang Siming walked to the map and pointed to the six supply lines pointed out by Chen Ze. "These six supply lines are very long. Yes, we can select a few points that are most susceptible to ambush based on the terrain to defend. But in this way, each line

There needs to be an army patrolling back and forth, so..."

He thought for a while and said: "In this case, our troops will be divided into six groups, and we will not be able to contact each other, which is equivalent to fighting on our own!"

"Nowadays, all information about the enemy is unknown, and we cannot determine the number of enemies. Is it too risky to defend six routes?"

"You have to know that although we have 110,000 troops, which seems to be a lot, once we divide our troops, the number of troops that can be allocated to each road is less than 20,000!"

Yang Siming took a deep breath and looked at Chen Ze, "Old Zheng and I are confident that we can guard one place with 20,000 troops each, but what about the other four lines?"

"Send a general at the rank of captain to attack?"

He shook his head, "It is not unreasonable for the empire to give the maximum troop ratio to each level of generals. I also know the people under my own command. It is not that I cannot take on such a big task, but I am afraid that I lack the ability!"

Hearing these words, Zheng Yuanlong nodded frequently and said hesitantly: "Brother Yang's statement is not unreasonable. If you want to hold the six supply lines, I think you have to send 50,000 troops to each one. But where can we find troops at the moment?"

.”

The captain level can command 10,000 soldiers and horses, which means that under normal circumstances, the scale of wars experienced by the captain class is not too large.

The enemy is unknown at the moment. If 50,000 enemy troops happen to appear on the road where the captain is guarding, if Yang Siming or Zheng Yuanlong can use their own force and excellent commanding ability to counterattack, they can still attack them no matter what.

Get out of the siege.

But if it were a captain, the biggest possibility would be that the whole army would be annihilated!

The matter was so important that Yang Siming could not be cautious.

"Concerning this, General Yang's statement is not unreasonable, but I have also thought about this issue, so..."
