Chapter 220

Chen Ze's army continued to move forward.

Until the fifth day, when it was nearly half the way from Tel City, Chen Ze stopped the army.

In the temporary commander-in-chief tent, Chen Ze's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. In front of him was Chen Ming who had just turned back from exploring the situation in front of him.

"Disappeared?"

Chen Ze repeated the news he got from Chen Ming, with a flickering light in his eyes.

"It should be scattered!"

Chen Ming thought about it and changed his wording.

As early as when the three armed forces did not move, Chen Ze sent out the scouts. It was Chen Ming who was deeply trusted by Chen Ze who was responsible for leading them.

The advance speed of the army is not as fast as that of Chen Ming leading people to walk lightly. Therefore, Chen Ming and others have always been two days ahead of the big army and have a thorough understanding of the situation along the way in advance.

At the beginning, Chen Ming could see traces of a large army passing by all the way.

After all, the other side is still millions of huge, and it is an all-out rush army. The traces left along the way can be described as destruction.

This makes it easy for Chen Ming to grasp the enemy's movements and catch up after him.

However, the closer to the city of ter, the less such violent damage traces. Until they were only a day or two away from the city of ter, they could not see that there were millions of troops passing by on the road.

So this is the reason why Chen Ming used the word disappearance when he first reported it.

But later, they found that taking the main road as the stem, there were many hidden tiny traces around them, which were radiating in all directions. It was obvious that millions of troops were divided!

In fact, it's not difficult to understand.

These millions of troops are the disabled soldiers who have just broken through the siege of bo'an city. They don't carry much food and grass. It's not easy to insist on returning to Nantes province.

But before they returned to ter City, Scouts must have found out that the city had been lost and was beaten down by Yang Mingzhong's department who sneaked out of bo'an city.

So, will they continue to go to Tel city?

Even if the scouts can't find out the number of enemy troops in ter City, they may defeat ter City, which is not less than the main cities such as Boan. It can be imagined that its number is at least hundreds of thousands.

This is also an estimate given the current vacancy in the city of ter.

Such a quantity can only be maintained. Of course, there are millions outside. It is impossible to break it with one blow.

Can you afford it?

The other party has plenty of food and grass in the city, but what about them?

It only takes a few days. After they run out of food and grass, let alone recapture the city, they can starve to death if they are hungry!

The three main cities of Nantes are led by ter City, followed by Xili and Ketan. If you can't pass ter City, you can't touch the other two cities. The enemy's capture of ter city is equivalent to strangling the throat of millions of troops on your side.

This is the dilemma that Chen Ze had expected the last million troops of the Chinese Zhu Yan Empire, rather than Zheng Yuanyun's words that Yang Mingzhong's troops were in an emergency and could not defeat the retreating Zhu Yan army, but needed Chen Ze's support.

"A wise decision."

Chen Ze's knuckles knocked on the table and said, "their commander has some courage. He can't retreat when he sees things."

"Young master, let's..."

Next to Xu Qinglian, he said, "are we still going to Tel city?"

The enemy troops have dispersed, and they don't seem to need to go to the city of ter. It's useless to run over like this.

"Why not?"

Chen Ze looked at him and sneered, "military orders can't be violated."

"If you don't go to ter City, how can you explain to Lord Zheng when you go back?"

It didn't surprise Chen ze that he would not encounter the enemy. He led the troops out more to relieve Zheng Yuanyun's vigilance.

Even if it's useless, you have to go. The longer he leaves, the safer it will be for Zheng Yuanyun. This is the main reason.

If you go back now, I'm afraid the special envoys on the other side of Qingfeng city haven't arrived yet. Isn't it just a conflict with Zheng Yuanyun?

I never went to Tel to fight, but to fight for power and profit.

Of course, Zheng Yuanyun's interests are not valued here by Chen Ze, but the 100000 troops brought out are what Chen Ze likes.

So here in Chen Ze, it's just that everyone gets what they need.

"Chen Ming."

Chen Ze thought for a moment and ordered, "although the enemy has dispersed, you can't relax the exploration. You can send someone to track ten miles according to the escape direction of the enemy. Be sure to find out whether our marching route is safe!"

Although he didn't think such a thing would happen, Chen Ze was ready to deal with it carefully to avoid overturning the boat in the gutter.

When Chen Ming was ordered to leave, Chen Ze waved back. He carefully observed the map in the big tent. After thinking over and over again, he finally put down his mind and left the big tent immediately.

But after paying the bill, he was stunned at the first sight.

Commander Luo.

After leaving bo'an City, commander Luo, who was as leisurely as if he had been on vacation, waited outside the tent with his back on his hands.

"Commander in chief, are you..."

When Chen Ze saw him, he always ignored him. At the same time, he was suspicious or stepped forward and bowed to Luo Zongbing.

"Go in and talk?"

Commander Luo turned around, smiled at Chen Ze, returned the gift, then raised his chin and motioned to the big tent.

Chen Ze naturally had no reason to refuse, so he nodded, took one step out of the big account, and returned to the account.

The chief soldier of dudeluo also entered the account. Without waiting for Chen Ze to ask, he took the initiative and said, "in fact, you knew this?"

Chen Ze frowned slightly, "what does the commander-in-chief mean?"

He naturally knows what the other party is talking about, but he is unwilling to take the initiative to answer.

Commander Luo smiled and said, "you and I don't need to be so suspicious before. I might as well say it directly."

Then he said in a deep voice, "you knew that Zheng Yuanyun's query that day was just a cover to take you away?"

Chen Ze was silent. After thinking a little, he nodded and said, "good."

"Are you... Willing to suffer this great loss?"

Luo Zongbing said, "I don't think you don't know the benefits of staying in bo'an city."

Chen Ze shook his head and said with a smile, "there is an old saying in my hometown, which is called loss is happiness."

"I think this sentence can be used here. Besides, I don't think it's a big loss. I can only say that everyone has different priorities."

As soon as he said this, commander Luo was stunned for a moment.

After carefully watching Chen Ze for a long time and confirming that the other party's expression did not seem to be false, he said with a bitter smile: "it seems that I think too much."

"I thought you were helpless. I also thought that if you need it, my chief soldier could help you with all his strength."

"But it seems that your purpose is not here."

He looked at Chen Ze and said word by word, "can't you say you're still thinking about this million army?"
