Starting from Xichuan City, if you hurry up, you can reach Bo'an City in only four to five days.

But that can only be achieved with the speed of a light horse. At the current speed of Chen Ze's supply force, it will take at least seven days to arrive.

Of course, the length of time didn't matter to Chen Ze. On the contrary, he was more willing to walk on the road for a few more days. After all, he didn't really want to transport food to Bo'an City.

The longer you stay on the road, the more likely you are to encounter an ambush from the Zhu Yan Empire and gain a lot of military exploits.

However, the idea is good, but the fact is...

It's already the third day.

After setting off from Xichuan City, Chen Ze's baggage force, all disguised as soldiers, had been marching on the established supply line for three days.

Along the way, whether it was the scouts sent out or Meng Yang's cavalry brigade behind him, all the information fed back to him only had four words:

Calm and calm!

Therefore, if this calmness continues, Chen Ze finds out helplessly that he can only follow the route to Bo'an City to hand over the grain and grass.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't keep wandering around Anluo Province.

If you don't have it, you don't have it. Continuing to wander on the supply line is just a waste of time and food.

Even though they are heavy troops, they still need to eat. The rations consumed by 20,000 people in one day is a lot of money. If we keep walking for a few more days, I am afraid that even the rations to be sent to Bo'an City will be eaten.

What to do then?

Run to Bo'an City empty-handed and stare blankly, or return to Xichuan City in despair and ask Huang Zhengyang to prepare a new batch of food, grass and luggage for him?

It would be strange not to be scolded to death!

Chen Ze could only sigh helplessly, who asked him to be responsible for the safest supply line? Running out like this was just a chance to try his luck.

Even if he didn't want to, he could only order the troops to continue moving forward and try to slow down their marching speed.

The calm continues.

Day four.

Day five.

Seeing that Bo'an was approaching, and even met another supply unit on the road that was also rushing to Bo'an City, Chen Ze was disappointed to find that, not to mention his supply line, the one closest to the east of Anluo that Yang Siming was in charge of was also

The supply line that everyone expected to be the most dangerous did not encounter the Zhu Yan Empire's ambush.

Then came the sixth day.

Due to the deliberate slowdown, Yang Siming's baggage troops on the line had already surpassed them, and they should all have arrived at Bo'an City by now.

But even so, Chen Ze could vaguely see the majestic city wall of Bo'an City under his gaze. As long as he quickened his pace, he could reach it in less than half a day.

Having reached this point, it was almost certain that he would not encounter any more ambush along the way.

No one would go to the opponent's main city to set up an ambush. This is not to ambush, but to kill someone!

In desperation, he could only choose to send the food and grass on hand to Bo'an City first. Although this was not his original wish, he could at least increase his presence in Bo'an City, which was better than nothing.

With this idea in mind, Chen Ze was preparing to order the troops to speed up their march in order to reach Bo'an as soon as possible, then return the same way and continue to try their luck on the supply line in the name of escorting grain and grass.

But right now!

Since he was speeding up, of course he had to notify Meng Yang, who was commanding the cavalry at the rear. Rather than sending people back to notify him, the fastest way was to directly trigger the general star set on Meng Yang.

This was a signal that the two had agreed on long ago. Once Meng Yang was possessed by Ma Teng, he would directly activate the general skill to increase the movement speed of the team and rush to meet Chen Ze as soon as possible.

Chen Ze, who was about to trigger the possession of the star, naturally opened the map of Meng Yang's location.

Then he felt a blur in the corner of his eye, and a small blue light flashed slightly at the edge of the map and then disappeared.

The blue dots appeared and disappeared so fast that Chen Ze almost thought that he was so eager for the enemy that he was hallucinating.

He wasn't sure whether it was an hallucination or not, but after a moment of stasis, his expression suddenly changed, and an idea flashed in his mind!

"wrong!"

He made a move, and a question that had been ignored suddenly came to his mind.

This walk was so peaceful that Chen Ze gradually became anxious. He focused all his attention on detecting Zhu Yan's ambush and forgot about the other wave of troops.

That is……

Where are the troops rushing back to Xichuan City?

Huang Zhengyang was the escort general sent by Xichuan City to Bo'an. According to Geng Hu's memories at that time, he was the first wave of baggage troops. Later, Xichuan City sent two more waves to ensure that there was always food and grass sent to Bo'an City.

So, Huang Zhengyang in the first wave returned after delivering food and grass to Bo'an City. What about the second and third wave of baggage teams?

In order to ensure that he would encounter Zhu Yan's ambush on the road, Chen Ze did not choose a remote stream path when choosing his marching route. Instead, he openly followed the long-planned supply line between Xichuan City and Bo'an City.

Walk.

Since the other party wants to develop a supply line, they will naturally find out the route in advance. Otherwise, there will only be six routes. But Anluo Province is not small. How can they ensure that they cut off the supply line?

So since they are all walking on the same road, and they are going back and forth, how can it be possible that they have almost reached Bo'an City and haven't encountered it yet?

This is not a chance encounter between two or three people, but a large army of thousands of people!

Not only the target is big, but also when the troops are marching, they will send out scouts in advance to investigate. It is impossible for them to pass each other without knowing it.

But he didn't meet anyone, why?

Has it already been robbed?

"No, it's impossible!"

As soon as this thought came up, Chen Ze forcefully shook it out of his mind.

It's impossible to rob it!

First, Huang Zhengyang returned to Xichuan City.

You must know that he was the first wave to go to Bo'an City, so when he returned from Bo'an City, he would encounter the second and third waves of baggage troops who were still on the road. Moreover, based on the distance traveled, Huang Zhengyang encountered

By the time the second wave of troops arrived, they should be not far from Bo'an City, only one to two days' journey at most.

They would not deliberately slow down their march like Chen Ze did, so the distance was actually not far from Bo'an City, and the possibility of encountering an ambush was low.

The so-called sea embraces all rivers. If Bo'an is the sea, the six supply lines are rivers. The closer they gather to Bo'an, the denser the supply troops will be, and the risk of taking action in such a place will be very high.

From this point of view, since Huang Zhengyang did not respond after returning to Xichuan City, at least the second wave of baggage troops should be able to reach Bo'an City safely.

As for the second point.

Chen Ze looked around and saw that his supply force had more than 5,000 people and thousands of grain carriages. How huge was it?

If it was robbed on the road, where would the body be?

Where's the food?

Where are the traces?

How many people did the Zhu Yan Empire send so that they could calmly clean up the battlefield after the battle without leaving a trace?
