Chapter 9

Boan branch of military aircraft Department of Qingyang empire.

After walking for more than half a day, Chen Ze and Li Quan'an finally came to Huiyue street and stopped in front of a high-end restaurant like building.

This restaurant like building is where the military aircraft office is located.

Leaving Li Quan'an waiting outside, Chen Ze walked in alone from the gate and just walked half a leg. The noise inside made him look slightly sluggish.

It's a restaurant in the distance and a restaurant in the near. Go in and have a look

This is still a restaurant!

The restaurant has three floors. There are more than a dozen tables in the hall on the ground floor, which are almost full. There are twos and threes of diners drinking, eating meat, boasting and farting at each table. During this period, two little boys keep shuttling around the tables to deliver food, wine and water. They are very busy.

On the right hand side of Chen Ze's entrance is the counter. The chubby shopkeeper is burying his head and cracking his abacus. Even because his business is good, his greasy face is filled with a smile.

Are you... Really right?

For a moment, Chen Ze wanted to quit and take a closer look at the plaque outside the door.

"Oh, my guest, please come inside!"

Just thinking, the courteous waiter came forward with a flattering smile on his face.

"I'm... Here to apply for the examination."

Chen Ze felt his nose and looked helpless.

"Assessment?"

The waiter looked at him up and down. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his body was very straight. "Dare you ask if you have a military rank?"

"No, first time."

Chen Ze shook his head.

"Counselor or general?"

"Counselor."

The waiter glanced at the fat shopkeeper and said, "in that case, can I carry the identity documents?"

The heart said there was no mistake. Chen Ze handed the document issued by Wei Qiwu to the other party.

After receiving the careful inspection, the waiter turned his eyes suspiciously on Chen Ze's face, didn't say much, but looked at the fat shopkeeper again.

"Let's go."

The shopkeeper did not know when he had put down his abacus, looked at Chen Ze calmly, then came out of the counter and walked to the entrance to the second floor.

Chen Ze naturally followed and followed each other upstairs.

The second floor is different from the first floor.

Compared with the noise on the first floor, there are no diners and tables and chairs on the second floor. The huge second floor is empty. Only a rectangular sand table about four meters long and two meters wide is placed in the center.

A thin old man with a gray beard was lying on the recliner beside the sand table. He didn't know whether to close his eyes and rest or whether he had fallen asleep.

When Chen Ze and the fat shopkeeper came to the sand table, the old man also had no response.

"Hua Lao, there are new people to apply for assessment."

The fat shopkeeper saluted the old man respectfully, then stretched out his hand and pointed to Chen Ze.

"No test, get out!"

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't even open his eyes. He opened his mouth and shouted abuse. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the two people disturbing his clear dream.

"Huh?"

Chen Ze frowned slightly. According to the law of Qingyang Empire, the military aircraft department can refuse the assessment only if the identity of the examiner is in doubt and it is suspected that he may be an enemy spy.

In addition, even if the person who comes to assess is an idiot, the military aircraft department should also give a fair assessment opportunity.

When he was about to start a theory, the fat shopkeeper took the lead and said respectfully, "old Hua, this young man broke up bandits and bandits in Heluo ancient road a few days ago."

"He annihilated more than 200 people of the other side by a mere 30. With this record, his subordinates think they can take a test!"

Chen Ze's expression changed as soon as he said this!

It was only yesterday that he returned to Boan city. It was only one night. Their story on Heluo ancient road had been known by the military aircraft department.

Just now he just gave a name, and the other party had mastered his information.

Such intelligence capability is really very important!

"Ghost see sorrow?"

"What the hell!"

While talking, the old man opened his eyes slightly, transmitted two pure lights, and shot them on Chen Ze's face, "did Qi kill him?"

He asked.

"No."

Chen Ze responded indifferently and had no good feelings for the old man.

"Average."

Old Hua glanced and said with great disdain, "Qi can't kill. What's his name?"

After stretching his waist, he stood up from the recliner and said, "well, for your sake of eliminating harm to the people, I'll give you a chance."

As soon as he copied his hand, he picked up a wine bottle on the edge of the sand table, raised his neck and filled it with air. Regardless of the fact that his chest was soaked with wine, he glanced at Chen Ze and fiddled with the sand table in front of him.

"If one day..."

While playing with the sand table, the old Chinese said coldly: "Xili, Ketan and ter have poured all their forces to besiege Boan..."

Chen Ze looked at the sand table. What Hua Lao put down was the terrain centered on bo'an city. The three cities he mentioned were the three cities under the jurisdiction of Nante province of Zhu Yan Empire, that is, the three enemy cities facing bo'an city.

"After several days of hard fighting, the troops of bo'an city and its surrounding cities were exhausted, while the enemy still had 500000 elite troops. At this time, the city has been besieged for ten days..."

As Hua Lao said, near the model representing bo'an city on the sand table, he was densely covered with black flags. These flags are the 500000 elite soldiers in his mouth.

"The Empire has sent three reinforcements, two of them were destroyed, and the other one was sniped by other troops of Zhu Yan empire on the way because of its long journey, which also suffered heavy losses."

"And you..."

Old Hua glanced at Chen Ze again and then put a red flag on the sand table.

"Here!"

Chen Ze saw that the red flag representing him was near Senhu Town, Heyuan province.

"You should be familiar here?"

Old Hua sneered: "you can get to Boan on the 5th by taking the new official road here, and you can also get to Boan on the 7th by taking the ancient Heluo road. You have a 100000 elite army in your hand. The Empire ordered you to rush to help Boan. What should you do?"

Sand table deduction?

Chen Ze glanced at the sand table and knew it clearly.

However, the fat shopkeeper's face was bitter for a time after seeing that old Hua had this problem.

"Give you ten seconds. If you can't answer, go away."

Patting the sand on his hands, the old man surnamed Hua glanced at Chen Ze coldly, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"In less than ten seconds, I can answer now."

Chen Ze is confident, but also with an old man surnamed Hua, said in a deep voice: "I... Won't go back to bo'an!"

"No?"

As soon as he said this, the fat shopkeeper was stunned, but old Hua stared, "how do you save bo'an city from water and fire?"

"Save without saving."

Chen Zeqing breathed out, then spoke quickly and said, "the enemy made it clear that they were besieging the city for help. My 100000 troops rushed back day and night. They were exhausted, but the other party had been energetic for many days, and the number of people was five times that of us. We can see the end."

Then he lit the two red flags held by old Hua. These two red flags were the two support forces that were destroyed.

"Why not save?"

Hearing this, old Hua laughed up and shouted, "you're just making excuses for your cowardice. It's Boan who doesn't save, but yourself, right?"

"No."

Chen Ze looked calm and ignored the ridicule of the other party. Instead, he went to the sand table, picked up the red flag representing himself, slowly moved to another place and said:

"If it were me, I would have led the troops to set out as early as three days after the enemy besieged the city, but my goal is not bo'an City, but... Here!"

Old Hua and fat shopkeeper looked at the sand table with his actions, and they all looked moved.

Where Chen Ze inserted the red flag, it was Xili city belonging to the enemy!

"It's almost seven days' journey from Senhu town to Xili City, so when the enemy besieged the city for ten days, the troops can come to Xili city!"

Chen Ze looked at old Hua and said, "as you said, Zhu Yan's three cities poured out their troops to fight bo'an. At this time, it is the weakest time in Xili City, and their 500000 elite soldiers are entangled by our two reinforcements. At this time, it is not too difficult for me to fight Xili city."

"I fucking told you to save Boan, and you ran to sily?"

Old Hua suddenly roared, "do you not understand military orders or idiots?"

"I hit sily to save Boan!"

Chen Ze's tone was also tough, and he said in a calm voice: "when his main city is broken, the enemy is bound to be unable to sit back and watch. At this time, they have three choices."

"First, back to Xili, so that the danger of bo'an can be solved."

"Second, go all out to attack Boan and come back after the city is broken. It will take more time. Take this opportunity, I will burn Xili, go to Ketan, and then ter, trade one city for three cities!"

"Third, divide the troops. They divide some troops to help Xili, and the rest of the troops continue to attack bo'an. If so, I will stick to Xili, and 100000 elite troops will defend the city. If the enemy wants to recapture Xili, he needs to divide at least 300000 troops to attack the city, and the rest 200000 troops. Bo'an city can wait for the Empire to send more reinforcements!"

Word by word, listening to Chen Ze's words, the angry roar on Hua Lao's face gradually subsided, but he bowed his head and became silent.

Chen Ze's words didn't finish. He looked at Hua Lao and sighed slightly: "these three choices, in addition to the first one, I can still live, the other two, bo'an may be saved, but I will die."

"So Mr. Hua, you were... Not cowardly!"

"What did you... Say?"

As soon as he said this, old Hua raised his drooping head and stared at Chen Ze with unbelievable eyes.

Chen Ze sighed in his heart.

From the look of the fat shopkeeper, he can see that the problem of Hua laochu may be related to his current depression. It is very likely that this is the war situation that the other party experienced in those years.

In fact, this situation is not complicated. It's just encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

In Chen Ze's previous life, this was one of the classic battles that many military strategists talked about. These four words came out of Chen Ze's mind as soon as Hua Lao Gang opened his mouth to set this game.

But the problem is, this is not his previous life.

It is true that it was praised in later generations to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but what if it was at that time?

Our main city is surrounded. Instead of saving it, you drive your troops elsewhere?

In this way, military orders are violated, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not be questioned. How many people can see the key points before the situation is unclear?

The so-called bystander is clear.

"Hua Lao..."

The fat shopkeeper, who had been listening, couldn't help but was about to speak. His words came out and had been interrupted by Hua Laoli.

"Shut up!"

He glared at the fat shopkeeper, then looked at Chen Ze again, "boy, you can't take care of my business, but you know, your plan violates the military order?"

"Good!"

Chen zelang said, "as a minister, I really violated the military order, but I think the word counselor is the first word!"

"It's the duty of a minister to know what not to do and lead the army to bo'an, but it can be called a fool!"

"The so-called good strategist should seek his potential from the overall situation and seek the way to win in danger. This is what a counselor should do. Otherwise, what the Empire needs is not a counselor, but a loyal minister!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

As soon as he said this, old Hua suddenly laughed wildly. He covered his stomach, looked crazy, and almost burst into tears.

"It's the first time I've heard a derogatory meaning in the word loyal minister. Your boy has some meaning."

After a pause of laughter, he stared at Chen Ze and said, "yes, your strategy is certainly better for saving bo'an, but is the word military order like a mountain a child's play?"

"So..."

He paused, looked at Chen Ze calmly, and slowly said, "you didn't pass the examination!"
