"I'm just a counselor. I'm sorry to say it, but this is my advantage!"

Chen Ze mockingly pointed at his two-yang and one-yang badge, but there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"This..." Huang Zhengyang didn't know why and said blankly: "How do you say this?"

Chen Ze smiled and said: "If you are a general, those ambush soldiers may not dare to show up, but what if the person transporting food and grass is just a small counselor?"

"What would you do if you were a general?"

he asked rhetorically.

"if it was me?"

Huang Zhengyang blurted out, "Of course I went up to grab it!"

After he finished speaking, he realized what he was doing and waved his hands quickly, "Of course I don't mean to look down on Brother Chen!"

Chen Ze smiled bitterly and said: "If I were a general, I would also have such thoughts. Who says I have a lower rank?"

"Tell me, does the other party think it is easier to deal with a captain who is a military general, or a young counselor who is a counselor?"

"The general's reaction is just human nature. Of course I understand."

Huang Zhengyang suddenly said: "So what Brother Chen meant was... to use his body as bait?"

"exactly!"

Chen Ze said resolutely: "The war ahead is tense, and the importance of the supply line is self-evident. If he is allowed to roam freely in Anluo Province, it is tantamount to inserting a sharp knife into his body, and a piece of it may be cut out at any time.

Here comes the meat.”

"Although I'm not talented, the victory lies in the strength of the troops. As long as they dare to come, they will definitely succeed in one blow!"

These words were spoken resolutely. Not only Huang Zhengyang but also the elite soldiers accompanying him were all moved by Chen Ze's words.

It is common knowledge that military generals lead troops and advise ministers to make plans. However, Chen Ze, who is a first-level counselor, dares to put himself in danger. His courage alone is not weak.

"but……"

Huang Zhengyang thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Brother Chen also said that he has sufficient troops. Aren't you afraid that the other party will not show up because you have too many people?"

Chen Ze shook his head and said: "Of course it is not a large-scale attack. In order to make the opponent feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, I will disperse the troops for the purpose of luring him!"

Huang Zhengyang worried: "But isn't this too risky?"

Chen Ze straightened his body and said solemnly: "It is said that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs!"

"For the sake of the empire, and for the millions of brothers and sisters in Bo'an City, I am willing to take this risk!"

Secretly, I got goosebumps all over my body.

Only he himself knew that he had no sense of belonging to the Qingyang Empire, and what he did for the empire was a joke, but for the sake of military exploits, he had to say so.

After meeting Huang Zhengyang face to face, Chen Ze probably figured out the other person's character, so he used words to deceive him.

It is impossible to defend the city. If he stays in Xichuan City, he will not be able to get a single thing, and he can only eat the subsistence allowance reward given by the system.

With Chen Ze's character, he would of course be more willing to take the initiative. If he didn't encounter Zhu Yan's ambush, that would be fine. But if he did, it's hard to say. This would be a considerable amount of military exploits.

But no matter how you look at it, Huang Zhengyang, as a school captain, is more suitable to go out of the city to transport grain and grass. He himself stayed in Xichuan City. For the sake of military exploits, he could only deceive him into staying in the city, and he himself took Huang Zhengyang's place and was responsible for the transportation.

The grain and grass from Xichuan City go to Bo'an.

With 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and an epic general like Ma Teng at his side, Chen Ze himself was invincible, and of course he would not miss this opportunity to gain military exploits.

Seeing that Huang Zhengyang was also moved by his righteous nonsense and remained silent for a long time, Chen Ze slowed down and said: "General, there is no need to be like this. Besides, this is just a plan for the worst outcome.

The truth might not be that bad after all.”

"In the final analysis, it is still unknown whether the Zhu Yan Empire really has an ambush here. What if I really overthink it?"

Chen Ze smiled and said: "If this is the case, I will apologize to the general for taking away your credit for transporting grain and grass."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Huang Zhengyang continued: "Brother Chen is willing to make this trip for me. It's too late to thank you, so why should I apologize?"

If he could say this, he agreed with Chen Ze's statement and was willing to stay and defend Xichuan City.

Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief. Although this man was easy to fool, he was also stubborn. It took a lot of brainpower to get him to agree with him.

"So, I have been delayed in Xichuan City for a long time. In order to avoid delaying the fighter plane, I will go down and prepare now!"

Chen Ze clasped his fists at Huang Zhengyang, thought for a while and then said: "As for Yan Hong, General Lao will interrogate him strictly. Maybe we can get some useful information from him."

"It's natural!"

When he mentioned Yan Hong, Huang Zhengyang's face suddenly became stern, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I will greet him well. Brother Chen, you can rest assured. Once there is any news, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible!"

Chen Ze mentioned Yan Hong again at this time, which of course strengthened his intention to keep Huang Zhengyang in the city, lest he suddenly figured it out and came to chase him later, which would be a troublesome matter.

As for Yan Hong...

What does it have to do with him?

The two of them said goodbye for now, Huang Zhengyang went to greet poor Yan Hong without talking, and Chen Ze quickly took Li Quan'an and others back to the barracks.

One thing he did not deceive Huang Zhengyang was that he was using his own body to lure the enemy.

If you want to gain military exploits, you must have enemies. If he arrogantly leads 20,000 soldiers and horses, the devil will come to bite him.

Therefore, after Chen Ze returned to the barracks, he first deployed his troops.

Of the 20,000 men, more than half were cavalry, and these men were all handed over to Meng Yang's command, totaling more than 15,000 men.

Although with Ma Teng's commanding power, he can only command a cavalry force of 8,000 people at most, his general skill of running thousands of miles is unusual. He can ignore the commanding power and increase the movement speed of all his own troops.

Therefore, although the number of people exceeds the limit, it is enough for just marching.

As for the remaining 5,000 people, Chen Ze ordered 3,000 of them to take off their military uniforms and dress up as civilians, pretending to be conscripts transporting grain and grass. The other 2,000 people were naturally escorting the baggage troops.

The grain and grass convoy had been prepared long ago. After the three thousand soldiers disguised themselves as civilians, Chen Ze sent someone to say hello to Huang Zhengyang. In order to avoid a long night, he immediately led the five thousand soldiers to escort the grain and grass out of Xichuan City.

But Meng Yang's fifteen thousand cavalry were not in a hurry. An hour after Chen Ze left the city, Meng Yang ordered his troops and horses, and then left Xichuan City.

Chen Ze and Meng Yang were separated by an hour's journey, so they were not afraid that the secret ambush would find out that he had a strong force and would not dare to take the lead.

With the General Star System present, although Chen Ze was walking in front, he could still know Meng Yang's location accurately through the map.
