Chapter 87

No more words for the next three days.

Although Ma Teng has the ability to increase the movement speed of his own cavalry forces, Chen Ze's troops are also dominated by cavalry, but they have not reached the luxury of riding all the members.

In order not to disconnect the troops, he had to March honestly and finally arrived at the designated place three days later.

It is worth mentioning that after eight hours, Xu Qing also passed the systematic unknown assessment and officially became another attached host of Chen Ze.

Even if he passed the examination, Xu Qing was still at a loss about Chen Ze's theory of the soul. After all, the examination was cloudy. Even Meng Yang and others who had also participated in the examination could not tell what they were assessing.

But anyway, Xu Qing's loyalty increased to 92 points after the assessment.

After passing the examination, Xu Qing is his own person. Taking advantage of nothing these days, Chen Ze first let him feel the attachment of the star. As a result, Xu Qing's worship of Chen Ze went to a higher level!

Loyalty: 95

Equal to Meng Yang, higher than Guo Zi, close to Li Quan'an!

Xichuan city.

It is only four days away from Xiyun City, and they are arch neighbors to each other.

At the beginning, Zheng Yuanlong led the troops straight through Xichuan city. Even if there were still troops in the city, Zheng Yuanlong would be swept away together. Therefore, when the poisonous fog army attacked, it did not send anyone to Xichuan for help.

This can also be proved from the feedback after Zheng Yuanlong returned to Xiyun city. In fact, when Zheng Yuanlong passed through Xichuan City, the strength of the city had already been exhausted, and less than one in ten remained.

Unlike Xiyun City, which is very close to the border. Although it is only a four-day journey, Xichuan city has fat land and a wide range of people. The agricultural production capacity is extremely developed. In addition to the city's own use, the food produced also supplies the surrounding four cities, including Xiyun city.

It is said that the Lord of Xichuan city has revealed more than once that with the grain reserves of Xichuan City, even if it is supplied to anluoxing province for one month, there is no problem.

Although this is exaggerated, it also shows that Xichuan city is a large grain producer in anluoxing province.

From Zheng Yuanlong, Chen Ze knows that most of the troops in Xichuan city have supported bo'an city. Of course, because they are responsible for logistics supply, there will be more troops left, but only 20000.

At present, it is estimated that it is less than 20000. After such a long time, Xichuan city has been transporting grain to bo'an city. Although the grain transportation team can recruit people to complete it, the necessary defense is still needed.

Even without considering the possible ambush of the Zhu Yan Empire, the robbers fleeing all over anlok province should be on guard.

The robbers don't care whether bo'an city is broken or anluoxing province is lost. It doesn't matter to them whether the land under their feet is Qingyang or Zhu Yan. There is always a place to rob them of money, food and women.

On the contrary, this chaotic situation makes them feel like a duck to water. It can be predicted that at present, the officers and soldiers have no time to take care of them. Why not do a good job?

Therefore, the troops to protect grain are necessary and cannot be reduced.

Chen Ze can probably guess that of the remaining 20000 troops, it is estimated that 10000 are really used to defend the city. The other 10000 soldiers will be divided into two teams to escort a grain transportation force on a scale of 5000 people in two batches.

The first batch is transported to and then turned back, and the second batch is replaced. This cycle can ensure that there is always food and grass on the road and supplement the consumption of bo'an city in time.

Chen Ze doesn't know where the baggage team has gone, so he can only choose to go to Xichuan city first, and then seek aftereffect after understanding the movement of the baggage troops.

Xichuan is in sight.

As a messenger was sent to Xichuan city early to report the supply line, when Chen Ze led the army in the sight of the garrison of the city tower, there was no panic on the other side.

Xichuan city is located in a plain and a fertile place. This city is at least three times larger than Xiyun city. The city wall is not only wider and thicker, but also dug a moat 10 meters wide and 7 meters deep along the whole Xichuan City, which is easier to defend and harder to attack than Xiyun City.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides were separated by a moat. After the sergeant sent by Xichuan City tested the military aircraft token in Chen Ze's hand, the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was wide open.

There was a team of soldiers waiting in the gate. When Chen Ze led Meng Yang and others through the suspension bridge, he saw that the respectful soldier in the head had the same rank as Xu Qing. I think it was the chief of the city's urban defense.

"Eh?"

Seeing the soldier commander who was smiling, Chen Ze didn't respond. On the contrary, Xu Qing, who was next to him, was slightly surprised.

Chen Ze turned to look at him and said, "what's the matter? He hasn't asked yet. The opposite side is smiling and welcoming forward. Lang said:" this must be Lord Chen. The villain is Feng Dalong, the head of the city's urban defense force. He has been waiting here for a long time! "

Chen Ze had to salute him first. At this time, he saw that the other party was a big man with a beard and dark skin. He subconsciously took a look with a magnifying glass and was surprised.

The force value of this big man is so high that it is close to 50 points. It is only a few points away from the force value of Bai Rao.

Sure enough, it is a big city in Xichuan. Even the force value of the city defense chief is so high. On the contrary, Xu Qing is also the city defense chief. Xu Qing has only about 20 o'clock, which is similar to Meng Yang and other elite Xuanjia.

This is actually understandable.

Who is willing to be the leader of that soldier without seeking greater development in the way of military generals?

But this big man... Is he really willing?

Chen Ze was wondering. Xu Qing couldn't help but step forward and asked, "I remember the chief of the urban defense here is brother Zhou. Where has he gone?"

Feng Dalong first glanced at Xu Qing's rank, then smiled and said, "brother Zhou has been promoted to a special general by the city Lord. Now he has led his troops to support bo'an city. I can envy him!"

When Xu Qing heard this, he was also very envious. He shouted, "brother Zhou has always wanted to get the military rank. This time, he finally achieved his wish. When he comes back, he must congratulate him!"

Feng Dalong laughed and said, "that's natural. When the war is over, let's have a good drink!"

Promotion?

Chen Ze's heart moved. There was a master with a force value of up to 50 points. No need. He promoted a chief of urban defense to the front line?

Even if other people can't see the specific value with a magnifying glass like Chen Ze, they can see the strong strength of the great man as soon as they see his appearance of walking like a tiger. Is the city Lord blind?

Then he said quietly, "commander Feng, where's my messenger?"

Feng Dalong was surprised and said, "after reporting to Xichuan City, brother Huang said he was anxious to report back to you, so he returned the same way. Why isn't he there?"

He also looked at Chen Ze's team.

Chen Ze's eyes flashed slightly and said, "I see. It may be a fork in the road."

"So, please lead the way. My brothers are tired of marching for days. Let's go to the barracks and have a rest!"

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Feng Dalong nodded repeatedly and immediately bowed to lead the way, leading Chen Ze and 20000 soldiers into Xichuan city.
