Chapter 230

Chen Ze and his party did not stop and did not stay in Ketan city for long.

After leaving Xu Qing and Meng Yang to lead 100000 troops and horses, their exploration team of more than 100 people began to gallop into the canyon more than 30 miles west of Ketan city.

In addition to Chen Ze, there are also Chen Ming, who is very good at scouting, Guo Zi, who is attached to Ma Teng generals, Gu Qingfeng's five person decapitation team, a group of hundred war veterans whose personal strength has reached the peak of elite soldiers, and

General Luo and his subordinate with extraordinary archery.

"Commander in chief, why do you take risks yourself?"

On the way, Chen Ze rode side by side with Luo Zongbing, half curious and half helpless.

At this time, there were no outsiders. General Luo took off his disguise and smiled at Chen Ze: "it's impossible to make a risk. Go and have a look. Maybe you can help."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about my safety. I think I still have some self-protection ability."

With that, he motioned to the arrow expert who followed in the back position.

Since the other party said so, Chen zezi also stopped persuading.

In this way, there was no more words along the way.

Fortunately, the moon is high today, and the road to the west of Ketan city is quite flat. Even if they hurry all night, they didn't cause any trouble. Near midnight, under the leadership of Guan Ping, they finally rushed to a hidden mountain depression about a mile outside the canyon and met with the scouts who stayed here to investigate the movement of the army in the valley.

There is a small cave formed naturally in the depression. Just five or six people can enter. Guan Ping leads Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing, as well as their confidants. After entering the cave, the people inside hurried forward.

After listening to Guan Ping's introduction of Chen Ze's identity, the man quickly saluted him and said, "my Lord!"

Chen Ze waved his hand and went straight to the point: "what's the situation?"

"The same as before."

This man is Guan Ping's deputy, surnamed Ma Mingjun. When he heard the speech, he immediately said, "the situation these days is similar to that when brother Guan left. There are troops in the canyon, but they don't see it. There's no movement from the outside."

Chen Ze frowned slightly. At this time, it was too dark. He couldn't see what the canyon outside looked like. After thinking about it, he asked, "from your observation, how many soldiers can be stationed in the Canyon?"

Although he had seen the map of Nante province and had some impression of this canyon called haoqiong, he only saw from the map that it was close to Fengqi province and was not a military important place, so he did not specially mark out more details.

"Look at my subordinates..."

Ma Jun looked at Guan Ping and said, "haoqiong Canyon is quite large. When brother Guan left, he told our brother to explore clearly."

"Although I didn't dare to go in, I went around the periphery. As my subordinates saw, if I want to hide two or three million people in this canyon, I'm afraid it's no problem!"

"Two or three million?"

Chen zelue thought and suddenly looked at Ma Jun, "you just said you didn't dare to go in?"

"This..."

Ma Jun felt his head in embarrassment and said apologetically, "please forgive me, sir. If subordinates don't have good Kung Fu and sneak into the canyon rashly, they are afraid of being found by the people inside, but startle the snake."

"But if you want to say the hidden route into the valley, subordinates and others really found one."

"Oh?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested. He asked, "where is this route?"

Ma junchong's waiting brother Yang Yang dismounted. The man came forward quickly, found a sketch in his arms, spread it out in front of Chen Ze, pointed to a zigzag red line specially marked in it, and said, "Lord Hui, this route has been touched by villains. There is an underground river leading to the canyon. If it flows down, you can enter the canyon."

"At the beginning, the villain took a raft and touched it once in the night. Unfortunately, the river turned from underground to ground after entering the canyon. Before the villain came out of the hole, he saw the flames flickering in front. At present, he didn't dare to get closer. He had to row to the Bank of the river, pull the bamboo raft to the bank, and then walk back along the bank. He came back two days later and almost didn't die in it. ”

When he mentioned the tragedy, he still had lingering fear on his face.

"If..."

He hesitated and thought for a while before he said, "if you can have a brother with good water ability and dive from the cave at night, I think you can avoid the sentry there."

As he said, Chen Ze looked at the sketch carefully.

It's a sketch. In fact, it's drawn in great detail. Not only is the landform of the whole Canyon very similar to what Chen Ze saw on the map of Nante, but where there are woods, rivers and even streams are clearly marked.

Of course, what is clear is only the periphery, but the interior of the canyon is still a fog.

After reading the sketch, the report of the left behind scouts was just finished. Chen Ze nodded and looked at Chen Ming, "is there a way to go in?"

Chen mingzao was also looking at the sketch. If he went with him, he listened carefully. When he heard the speech, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly and his face coagulated. "The way is yes, but we need some help. In addition, we have to take a chance."

"What help?"

Chen Ze asked, adding another sentence: "what is the probability of success in the so-called chance?"

After careful consideration, Chen Ming shook his head and said, "this method can only be entered by me, but the probability of success is about 60%

60%?

Chen Ze looks pensive. Although the probability is more than half, it is true that it is a little low.

In case of failure, first, Chen Ming will stop there, and second, he will scare the snake, so that the army with unknown intention in the canyon will be on guard.

If Zhu Yan's army sent by Fengqi province or other places to support Nantes province is really in the canyon, once it is aware that its whereabouts are exposed, it may no longer wait for the troops to assemble and directly order to attack Ketan city.

With the troops in the canyon at this time, even if the other party has not completed the assembly, they can't hold it.

The two are unwilling to put in Chen Ze's heart, so that he can't make a decision.

However, when he hesitated, someone nearby suddenly said in a loud voice, "since there is more than half the chance, I think I can bet!"

It was general Luo who spoke.

"Don't get me wrong!"

When Chen ZEWANG looked at him, commander Luo waved his hand and said, "I'm not making a decision, I'm just making a suggestion. And I think since this brother says there is a 60% probability, if you add my brother, the success rate should be 10% again. If there is 70%, you can always fight?"

Then he led with one hand and pointed to the divine archer who had never seen him speak.

"My brother, if he thinks he is second in archery in Qingyang Empire, no one dares to think he is first!"

Commander Luo is quite proud.
