Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth Zhang Li's mind
"General Tang, it seems almost done, right?"
On Tang Feng's side, Zhang Li, who was riding side by side with him at the front of the team, was observing the movements around him.
Before leaving, Chen Ze naturally told Zhang Li that there was a large army belonging to the Bai Lie Empire waiting for them ahead, so that Zhang Li could be mentally prepared.
And Zhang Li is indeed different from Huang Liang's ghostly mind. He is an extremely honest person.
Since he accepted this task, he no longer looked forward or backward, but tried his best to assist Tang Feng.
The brothers under his command were trying to comfort him and explore the way forward. He was not greedy for life and feared death, but walked with Tang Feng.
Calculating the position silently in my mind.
Although Zhang Li could not detect the Bai Lie scout who was secretly spying on them based on his own abilities, based on his experience, he also believed that he was almost close to the other side's detection range, and he couldn't help but look a little serious.
On the other hand, Tang Feng looked indifferent.
But in fact, as early as half a quarter of an hour ago, he had already received information that there were scouts secretly monitoring him.
He could actually discover it on his own, but now there was a stronger person acting as a scout for him.
His father, Tang Tianxing.
He was worried that his son would be in danger alone and go on a mission with a group of bandits. Tang Tianxing would follow him no matter what.
Tang Feng was actually a little reluctant.
It's not that he still has an unresolved feud with Tang Tianxing, it's just that he doesn't want to be under his father's protection in everything, and wants to exercise his abilities as much as possible on his own.
But even Chen Ze agreed to Tang Tianxing's request.
Tang Feng thought for a while and realized that it would be safer to have Tang Tianxing by his side, so he did not refuse.
Facts have proved that no matter which commander gets help from a master like Tang Tianxing, it will be a very pleasant thing.
Tang Tianxing was walking on the periphery of the team, but he saw the hidden subordinates of Li Tong, and even Li Tong himself, running back and forth twice.
This information had already been communicated to Tang Feng through the Tang family's unique secret message technique, without alerting any of the secret scouts.
So when Zhang Li was guessing that he might have been discovered by the other party, in fact, new information had been sent back to Tang Tianxing.
The message this time was that arrangements had been made on the other side of the river bank, and the traps had been set up, just waiting for them to get in.
"Brother Zhang, we... need to be prepared."
Zhang Li never expected that his guess would be replaced by Tang Feng's calm-faced reminder.
"be prepared?"
He was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed. He looked around nervously, but he couldn't see any danger at all. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "General Tang is really good at telling jokes. We should be... still early, right?"
There was quite a bit of criticism in my heart.
In fact, from Zhang Li's point of view, Chen Ze's decision to let Tang Feng be the head coach was really inappropriate.
Isn’t it possible that Zhang Li is not qualified?
It’s not that he has any intention of being greedy for merit, but since he agreed to Chen Ze, Zhang Li naturally wants to do the best.
And he believed that with his many years of experience on the battlefield, it was just a false surrender, and he would still have no problem.
If you can't win, why not lose?
Who wouldn’t surrender?
Letting Tang Feng be the coach made Zhang Li think that Chen Ze seemed to be selfless, but in fact he still had selfish motives at heart.
At first, I said I would speak for myself in front of General Ouyang, try my best to erase the mistakes of the year, and look frank.
But Chen Ze may not trust him, but he has the same problem as other commanders.
That is, nepotism.
After having this idea in his mind, Zhang Li didn't think too much, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Who said he was unlucky?
Nowadays, if you live under someone else’s roof, you naturally depend on what others say.
Therefore, even though he knew that Tang Feng was just a young boy with no military rank, he still called him General Tang out of respect for his commander's status.
However, this General Tang looked extremely unreliable.
If they are prepared now, wouldn't that make it clear that others will notice that their behavior is different?
This seems to be detrimental to Master Chen’s plan, right?
But what Zhang Li didn't know was that Chen Ze actually didn't mean to distrust him.
Compared to Huang Lianglai, Chen Ze even hoped that Zhang Lizai would be the most powerful one in this bandit team.
The reason why Tang Feng was appointed as the head coach after Zhang Li was appointed was actually exactly what Zhang Li believed.
It’s not okay to win, but it’s not okay to lose?
Even if you lose, you have to look like you are losing.
At this point, Tang Feng, who had no combat experience, actually had an advantage.
After all, Zhang Li has been a general for so many years. In his military career, it is inevitable that he will not be given orders such as defeat but not victory due to strategic needs.
Therefore, Zhang Li has experience.
But this experience is not applicable in the bandit den.
When bandits go out to rob, only those who can beat them will go there. Whoever can't beat them will run away to die?
However, if once he realizes that something is wrong, Zhang Li relies on his own experience and issues a strategy of allowing defeat but not winning, which would be too serious a trace.
Instead, it was Tang Feng.
Once he stepped into the opponent's trap, Tang Feng's inexperienced judgment would inevitably lead to many mistakes and even unlucky moves.
But in this way, in the eyes of the other party, it will be better, and it will be less likely for the other party to see the flaws, and they really think that this army is just a bandit force.
After all, Chen Ze's ultimate goal is not to go to Huang Ren to show weakness to the enemy, but to make the opponent unsuspecting and take the initiative to bring the 20,000 people he sent back to the base camp, and then he waits for an opportunity to rely on this
Twenty thousand people acted as internal responders and coordinated internal and external measures to rescue the hostages.
You must know that although Tang Tianxing and his son captured Mo He in the previous investigation, they also left many traces on Huang Ren. The other party was being cautious at the moment. If he saw any flaws, he would probably not go there.
Bring it to the base camp.
This is what Chen Ze doesn't want.
Therefore, he asked Zhang Li to follow him, which could only be used to stabilize the morale of the 20,000 soldiers, so that Tang Feng would not be able to command at a critical moment.
As for the rest, Tang Feng was naturally left to his own devices.
It doesn't matter whether you perform well or poorly.
After all, here in Tang Feng, he is a layman when it comes to marching and fighting, and it is even less possible for him to think of any strategy that allows defeat but not victory.
This will not make Huang Ren suspicious.
This is what Chen Ze had already thought about.
It's just that he hasn't gotten to know Zhang Li well enough to have a heart-to-heart relationship, and according to his observation, upright people like Zhang Li, even if they feel dissatisfied, will first complete the assigned tasks in a down-to-earth manner before talking.
