The Era of Generals

Departing from Xichuan City, it only takes four to five days to reach Bo'an City if you hurry up.

But that can only be done at the speed of light riding a fast horse. At the current speed of Chen Ze's supply troop, it will take at least seven days to arrive.

Of course, Chen Ze didn't care about the length of time. On the contrary, he would rather walk on the road for a few more days. After all, he didn't really want to transport food to Bo'an City.

The longer you stay on the road, the more likely you will encounter Zhu Yan Empire's ambush soldiers, and thus earn a lot of military exploits.

While the idea is good, the reality is...

It's the third day.

After setting off from Xichuan City, Chen Ze's supply unit, all disguised as soldiers, has been marching on the established supply line for three days.

Along the way, whether it was the scouts sent out or Mengyang's cavalry brigade behind him, all the information returned to him was only four words:

Calm!

Therefore, if this calm continues, Chen Ze finds helplessly that he can only go to Bo'an City to hand over food and grass according to the traveling route.

Even if he wanted to, he couldn't keep wandering in An Luo province.

Nothing is nothing, continuing to wander the supply line is just a waste of time and food.

Although the supply troops also need to eat, the rations consumed by 20,000 people a day are also a lot of money. After walking for a few more days, I am afraid that even the food and grass that are going to be sent to Bo'an City will be gone.

What to do then?

Should he run to Bo'an City empty-handed and stare blankly, or return to Xichuan City in desperation and ask Huang Zhengyang to prepare a new batch of food and supplies for him?

It would be no wonder if someone scolded him to death!

Chen Ze could only sigh helplessly, who asked him to be in charge of the safest supply line, running out like this was just a matter of luck.

Even if he didn't want to, he could only order the troops to continue to move forward, just try to slow down the speed of progress.

The calm continued.

fourth day.

fifth day.

Seeing that Bo'an was just around the corner, and he even ran into another supply unit rushing to Bo'an City on the road, Chen Ze was disappointed to find that, not to mention his supply line, the one in charge of Yang Siming closest to the east of Anluo was also The supply line that everyone expected to be the most dangerous did not meet Zhu Yan Empire's ambush.

Then came the sixth day.

Due to deliberately slowing down, the supply troops on Yang Siming's line have already surpassed them, and they should all be in Bo'an City by now.

But even so, Chen Ze could faintly see the majestic city wall of Bo'an City under his extreme gaze. As long as he quickened his pace, he would be there in half a day.

Once he got here, it was almost certain that he would never run into an ambush along the way.

No one would go to the other side's main city to set up an ambush. This is not to ambush, but to give away the head!

In desperation, he could only choose to send the food and grass on hand to Bo'an City first. Although this was not his original wish, he could at least gain a sense of presence in Bo'an City, which was better than nothing.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ze was preparing to order the troops to speed up their march, and strive to arrive at Bo'an as soon as possible, then return the same way, and continue to try their luck on the supply line in the name of escorting food and grass.

But at this moment!

Since he was speeding up, of course he had to notify Meng Yang, who was in charge of the cavalry in the rear. Rather than sending someone back to notify, the fastest way was to directly trigger the general star set on Meng Yang.

This is the signal agreed upon by the two long ago. Once Meng Yang is possessed by Ma Teng, he will directly activate the general skill to increase the movement speed of the team, and rush to join Chen Ze as soon as possible.

Chen Ze, who was planning to trigger Jiang Xing's possession, naturally opened the map of Meng Yang's location.

Then he only felt a blur in the corner of his eyes, a small blue light flashed slightly at the edge of the map, and then disappeared.

The speed at which the blue dots appeared and disappeared was so fast that Chen Ze almost thought that he was so eager for the enemy that he had hallucinations.

He wasn't sure if it was a hallucination, but after this delay, his complexion suddenly changed at this moment, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!

"wrong!"

He paused, and a question that had been ignored all this time suddenly came to his mind.

This journey was so peaceful that Chen Ze gradually became anxious. He focused all his attention on detecting Zhu Yan's ambush, and forgot about the other wave of troops.

That is……

What about the troops rushing back to Xichuan City?

Huang Zhengyang was the escort general sent by Xichuan City to Bo'an. According to Geng Hu's memory at the time, he was the first wave of supply troops, and Xichuan City sent two more waves later to ensure that food and grass were always sent to Bo'an City.

So, Huang Zhengyang of the first wave returned after delivering food and grass to Bo'an City, what about the second and third waves of supplies?

In order to ensure that he encountered Zhu Yan's ambush on the road, Chen Ze did not choose another route for the march, but followed the planned supply line between Xichuan City and Bo'an City in an open and honest way. Walk.

Since the other party wants to build a supply line, they will naturally find out the route in advance, otherwise there will be six routes, but Anluo Province is not small, how can they guarantee to cut off the supply line?

So since they are all walking on the same road, and they go back and forth, how could it be possible that they have almost reached Bo'an City and haven't met yet?

This is not a chance meeting of two or three people, but a large army of thousands of people at every turn!

Regardless of the big target, the troops will send scouts ahead of time to investigate when marching. It is impossible for them to pass by each other without knowing it.

But he didn't meet anyone, why?

Could it be that it has been robbed?

"No, it's impossible!"

As soon as this idea came up, Chen Ze forcefully threw it out of his mind.

Impossible to rob!

First, Huang Zhengyang returned to Xichuan City.

You must know that he went to Bo'an City in the first wave, so when he returned from Bo'an City, he would encounter the second and third waves of supply troops who were still on the way along the way. When the second wave of troops arrived, it should be not far from Bo'an City, at most one to two days away.

They will not deliberately slow down the marching speed like Chen Ze did, so this distance is actually not far from Bo'an City, and the possibility of encountering an ambush is unlikely.

The so-called openness to all rivers means that if Bo'an is the sea, the six supply lines are rivers. The closer they converge to Bo'an, the denser the supply troops will be, and the risk of doing it in such a place will be great.

From this point of view, since Huang Zhengyang did not respond when he returned to Xichuan City, at least the second wave of supplies should be able to reach Bo'an City safely.

As for the second point.

Looking around, Chen Ze saw that there were more than 5,000 people in his supply troop, and thousands of grain carriages. How big was it?

If it was robbed on the road, what about the corpse?

What about food?

Where are the traces?

How many people did the Zhu Yan Empire send to clean up the battlefield calmly after the battle without showing a trace?

is it possible?
