Not to mention how Chen Ze is worrying about the vacancy of combat achievements, he is also very busy outside Ketan city at the moment.

Xiao Du was sent back to move the rescue troops in order to better capture Nantes province. Since there was a reserve force, Zheng Yuanyun also had confidence in his heart.

He still knows Shaw's ability. His previous negligence is a mistake, but there is no need to deny him.

Zheng Yuanyun's tolerance for Xiao Du is precisely because of the other party's ability. He believes that after the last mistake, Xiao Du will be more careful, and this time, he will not make another mistake.

Moreover, who would have thought that Zheng Yuanyun would run back to move the rescue troops at this time?

The three main cities of Nantes province are under his control. Here, even if the spies of Zhu Yan Empire know this information, who can he report to?

Are there any affiliated towns around the three main cities?

Those small towns can't take care of themselves at present. How can we help the spy deal with those scouts?

In other words, who doesn't know that the Qingyang empire is bound to send more troops here?

Since you know, what's the problem if you don't deal with these scouts?

What's more, it's not easy to deal with them. These scouts are not sneaking into Nantes Province, but running to Anluo province.

To deal with these people, we must first secretly lurk inside the three main cities. How difficult is this?

It is estimated that Ouyang, who has this ability, has acted vigorously. Unfortunately, this man has rushed to the opposite direction with a large number of troops, which is beyond his reach.

The other person who doesn't want him to have reinforcements is Chen Ze.

But now Chen Ze is trapped in Ketan city. He can't protect himself. Even if he wants to do so, how can he know when and what kind of people Zheng Yuanyun will send and where to move rescuers?

Xiao Du informs Chen Ze?

This is even more impossible. Xiao Du has always been his confidant, and so far, he has not seen Chen Ze even one side. To say betrayal, who would be foolish enough to betray the strong side and choose to take refuge in the weak side in this situation?

Therefore, it seems very urgent to move and rescue soldiers, but as far as the matter itself is concerned, Zheng Yuanyun does not feel any danger, and the degree of difficulty is zero.

Therefore, he is very assured that he does not think this matter will become any difficulty. What he is doing now is to start deploying to attack Nantes province.

Ouyang's strict execution has clearly determined the strategy, that is, to occupy several cities for solid defense, and then use these cities as strongholds to receive Zhu Yan's army who can come to Nantes province for support.

It's too late. Zheng Yuanyun can only send troops as soon as possible and try to win more cities before colliding with Ouyang. The best result is to leave Ouyang only those three cities beyond the reach of Zheng Yuanyun, and then stick to it, wait for the subsequent troops to arrive, and then fight a decisive battle with Ouyang.

This is the best solution Zheng Yuanyun can think of after losing the first opportunity. Even he is willing to sacrifice part of his interests and sell them to the two neighboring provinces in exchange for each other's reinforcements.

There is no problem in itself. There is really no problem at all.

Even if Chen Ze is in Zheng Yuanyun's position, he will make the same choice, otherwise the plan to seize Nantes will be in vain.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yuanyun never thought of his plan. Although Chen Ze did not know the truth, where did he know that his every move here was under Chen Ze's supervision.

So this foolproof strategy has been riddled with holes from the beginning.

Zheng Yuanyun arranged quickly. He wanted to seize more cities before the reinforcements arrived. After the reinforcements arrived, he would have more chips in his hand and less benefits.

So soon after Xiao Du led the scouts out of the barracks, Zheng Yuanyun was ready here.

The army pulled out!

For the sake of safety, Zheng Yuanyun did not deploy to take away all the soldiers. After all, there is Chen Ze in Ketan city. In any case, he will not let Chen Ze leave!

He brought two million troops from the two troop increases in his hand, plus the 500000 recovered from Yang Mingzhong, and the total force was about 2.5 million.

This time, he expected to take only two million of them, leaving 500000 troops to seal off the four gates.

Although the reduction of troops will make it possible for Chen Ze to break out of the city, can Chen Ze really get out of the city?

Zheng Yuanyun has an order. Chen Ze is the nearly 100000 troops in his hands. Now his task is to stick to Ketan city. With this order, even if there is no 500000 troops outside, Chen Ze can't really say to go.

In any case, Zheng Yuanyun is the Supreme Commander here, and there is nothing wrong with the task he assigned to Chen Ze. How can Chen Ze not implement it?

OK, you Chen Ze left Ketan city without orders, which is what Zheng Yuanyun hopes.

In this way, he has more reason to treat Chen Ze's crime. He can even order the 500000 troops left behind to chase and kill Chen Ze on the spot, which will not give him the possibility of leaving Nantes province.

Chen Ze dares to go, which is even more justifiable. Zheng Yuanyun is eager to solve his trouble first when he launches the general attack.

The 500000 troops did not stay to guard Chen Ze, but more to intercept Chen Ze!

When everything was ready, Zheng Yuanyun waved his hand, led two million troops to camp and pull out the stronghold, and went to a small affiliated town nearest to Ketan city.

The two million troops, not to mention attacking a small town with less than 100000 defenders, had no problem even pushing it flat and rolling it over. When they set out, Zheng Yuanyun looked full of gas and satisfaction.

On the other side, at the bridge head of Ketan City, Meng Yang yawned against thousands of soldiers of Zheng Yuanyun.

He pointed to the direction of the army's departure and said, "your master has gone. Why are you pestling here?"

"Don't you follow up and wag your tail?"

"Meng Yang, don't go too far!"

After such a long confrontation, the general opposite has already received all the information about Meng Yang. Although he knows that this man is difficult to deal with, he is not weak enough to be ridiculed.

Smelling the speech, he pointed at it with a long gun and said, "you guy, when are you going to play here? I advise you to go back early or come and fight with us. Don't be a rogue. You've weakened your reputation!"

Meng Yang rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a smile, "you're rolling over and over again. Why don't you roll over and try?"

Glancing slightly from the corner of his eye, he saw a faint shadow crawling across the river just under the moat.
