Chapter 358

"What shall we do, my lord?"

Even if he was no longer keen on the overall situation, Xiao Du had a bad feeling when he found out Ouyang's vigorous marching trend.

And this seems to have something to do with him.

He is in charge of the scouts, and he is also in charge of the distribution of manpower.

But who could have thought that the other party's sense of touch was so sharp that he did not leave all the sentries he arranged. In other words, he was defeated in the competition of scouts alone.

And it was a bad time.

He made such a big mistake at the time of the most urgent military situation.

Even before, because of self-confidence, when his men didn't come back in time to update him on the enemy's movements, Shaw also thought there was no big problem and neglected.

If he could send someone earlier, he would soon notice the difference whether the person sent would come back or not.

Then at that time point, he will have enough time to report to Zheng Yuanyun, and Zheng Yuanyun will also have enough time to deploy countermeasures.

And now, what to do?

It seems too late to think about the purpose of the other party's move or immediately send troops to pursue it.

Xiao Du looked at Zheng Yuanyun, whose face was cloudy and sunny, and felt uneasy in his heart.

Zheng Yuanyun has no time to cure Xiao Du's crime now?

Zheng Yuanyun didn't even listen to his request.

What he was thinking was precisely the purpose of Ouyang's vigorous action.

Fengqi province sent troops to support Nante province?

Since it's support, why don't you fight tactan?

Zheng Yuanyun, who once thought he had won, felt at a loss in the face of the sudden unknown.

On several cases in his big account, as Ouyang Li Xing did, there was a military map covering Fengqi province and Nante province.

He used his pen to draw on the map from time to time. Starting from Dongping City, his pen edge crossed the pass of the defense fortification, and then according to Xiao Du's latest information, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. Where the pen edge passed was the marching trace left by Ouyang's strict execution, outlining the other party's marching route.

Xiao Du watched nervously. He knew that this had always been the habit of adults Zheng. At this time, he didn't even dare to breathe. He was afraid that he would affect adults' thinking.

The pen front had already drawn out the scope explored by Xiao Du, and Zheng Yuanyun's hand became less determined at this time. However, after a short hesitation, his pen continued to move forward carefully, bending and twisting until

Stop!

The tip of the vermilion ink finally hit a heavy meal and fell to a point on the map.

However, before Xiao Du could see where the brush fell, Zheng Yuanyun threw away his brush, took a new pen, dipped it in black ink, and began to sketch again.

This time, the starting point he outlined was Ketan City, and his pen was no longer as hesitant as before. Instead, he drove all the way up from Ketan City, whether it was a forest or swamp, a plain or a mountain, destroyed the withered and decadent all the way, and finally

Stop!

The black stroke stopped again. This time Xiao Du could see clearly. The end of the route drawn by Zheng Yuanyun again coincided with the previous one.

There is a city, the last city from Nantes province to another inland province of Zhuyan empire.

Border.

Tianyuan city.

And two other small cities that are arch guards with Tianyuan city.

Xiao Du saw that Zheng Yuanyun didn't throw away his brush this time, but wiped it horizontally. The black pen edge connected the three cities into a line. In Xiao Du's eyes, the heavy pen and ink has become an indestructible thick city wall!

"This..."

He couldn't help but be agitated. The road map drawn by Zheng Yuanyun showed that the red was naturally the army of Fengqi Province under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yan Empire, and the black was their own army.

It can be seen that if the two lines go down as envisaged by Zheng Yuanyun, the intersection point is the black and thick city wall.

Is that the other party's purpose?

Seeing this, Xiao Du doesn't understand what Zheng Yuanyun is considering. According to the other party's march route, although it hasn't been completed, Xiao Du already believes that this is the other party's plan.

"Very clever."

Zheng Yuanyun took a breath and threw his brush powerlessly on the table, allowing the ink to roll out irregular marks on the map.

He can't use the map anymore.

Everything has been deeply imprinted in my mind. The map is, and so is the other party's strategy.

"Sir, do they want to defend those three cities?"

Shaw frowned and asked, "but what's the use of this?"

In his eyes, the three cities are just small cities, which are basically insignificant. In terms of geographical location and strategic points, they are completely inferior to the three main cities of ketantlesili that have been occupied by them.

"What's the use?"

Zheng Yuanyun glanced at him, "can't take these three cities, can it be regarded as fully occupying Nantes province?"

"This... But..."

Xiao Du wanted to stop talking. He wanted to say, what if he couldn't win it?

It's nothing more than three small cities. Even if you can't win it, even if the other party really takes the three cities as a stronghold, it's no big deal.

Anyway, their Qingyang army also got most of the territory of Nantes Province, which has made great contributions.

"Do you know the meaning of provincial division?"

Don't want Zheng Yuanyun to say again, "if you can't take these three cities, you can rely on this gap to continuously increase troops in the south special administrative province. At that time, you can say it's useless?"

Xiao Du was speechless and heard Zheng Yuanyun continue: "if there were not too many troops in Fengqi Province, I would have wanted to seal the pass first, but it's a pity..."

Through the outline just now, he also clarified his ideas and the intention of Zhu Yan empire's move.

But so what?

The military plane was almost missed.

Zheng Yuanyun did not mean to punish Xiao Du's crime.

In fact, doesn't even he think that Ouyang's hard work will surely conquer Tan city?

He also thinks that there is no other way for the other party except Ketan city?

Because of this, when the Scout's news has not been returned, he also did not pay much attention to it, resulting in this situation.

If you want to catch up, you can't catch up.

The other side set out one day and one night before them. Both sides were also large-scale marches with huge troops. How could he catch up with the soldiers of Qingyang Empire without wings?

Sending small troops can catch up, but it's meaningless. Catching up is just death.

Moreover, the other party can move forward unimpeded in Nantes province. Can he Zheng Yuanyun?

All he can do is fight one city after another. How can he catch up?
