The Era of Generals

"Limited to... Qingyang Empire?"

Meng Yang stared wide-eyed, looking at Chen Ze in disbelief.

He finally understood what Chen Ze wanted to say, but this inference was too bold!

Yes, most of the recidivists here are from the three major provinces of the Qingyang Empire, and what they have committed is also the laws of the Qingyang Empire.

Or in other words, it was Qingyang Empire who punished them.

So if they walk out of the forest of poisonous mist, the officers and soldiers responsible for capturing them will naturally belong to the Qingyang Empire.

So in fact, as long as you escape to another empire, you will naturally have no worries about being arrested and brought to justice.

But how easy is it to cross the border?

If you can escape into the poisonous mist forest, you can say that you are close to death, let alone the heavily guarded border line, there is no return.

Other empires are not fools, how could they let these unstable factors into their own territory?

Even if they are not spies, they are still a group of thugs, should they be allowed to run into their own country to harm the common people?

"No...can't you?"

Meng Yang still couldn't believe it, "Will other empires recruit these mourners?"

Chen Ze sighed slightly, Meng Yang still didn't understand what he meant, so he said again: "It's not solicitation, but... what if I send you a city?"

"For example, if I am the Zhuyan Empire, I secretly provide supplies to these people, and promise to help them capture a city. Naturally, this city belongs to the Zhuyan Empire on the surface, then..."

He looked at Meng Yang, and at the elite Xuanjia who were also shocked by his deduction, and said in a deep voice, "Can these people's concerns be resolved?"

"Firstly, the city they occupy belongs to the Zhuyan Empire, and the laws of the Qingyang Empire will not restrict them in any way. Secondly, the Zhuyan Empire has actually abandoned this city. These felons are active in the city. It is still the people of the original Qingyang Empire who are harmed, and it does not cause any harm to them Zhuyan Empire itself."

"So, do you understand?"

After speaking, everyone just stepped out of the canyon, and the outside was quiet, only Guo Zi and Li Quanan came up to meet them.

"Can you beat it down?"

Meng Yang swears that he is really not trying to argue, but that Chen Ze's claims are getting more and more exaggerated, and he doesn't want to believe it.

"Some mob just want to lay down a city?"

"Even with Zhu Yan Empire's secret help, it's unlikely, right?"

"And even if it can be defeated, when the empire reacts, you can send troops to retake it. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort, and you may lose your life!"

Meng Yang often lives in the barracks, and he knows that Bo'an City is an important city of the Qingyang Empire, and the reserve of troops is quite sufficient. If something happens to the surrounding cities, a large number of people can be deployed to coordinate the defense.

Even if the Zhuyan Empire can help secretly, this is still within the territory of the Qingyang Empire, and the help they can provide is limited, and it is impossible to send troops across the thunder pool with great fanfare.

"You still don't understand the key."

Chen Ze shook his head, first ordered someone to tie the wooden box brought out to Gui Jianchou's horse, and then explained to Meng Yang: "If I'm right, if these people really want to attack the city, it must be Li Duwu. The one closest to Zhisen——Xiyun City!"

The last city that Chen Ze and others passed through before entering the Forest of Poisonous Mist was Xiyun City, and they also bought their kerosene from this city.

"Because of the existence of Bo'an City, Xiyun City does not have too many military reserves. After all, as an important town in Qingyang, Bo'an City shoulders the heavy responsibility of resisting the encirclement of Zhu Yan's three cities. Of course, Bo'an is the most important military resource."

Chen Zedao: "I estimate that the military reserve of Xiyun City will not exceed 50,000."

"But that's fifty thousand!"

Meng Yang couldn't help but said: "50,000 elite soldiers guarding the city, can't these mobs alone be able to defeat them?"

"I won't hit it directly." Chen Ze pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, as if he was explaining to Meng Yang, but he was actually sorting out his thoughts.

"If I were the Zhuyan Empire, after talking about the people in the Poison Mist Forest, I would gather forces from Xili, Ketan, and Tel to attack Bo'an."

"Once the battle starts, the pressure on Bo'an City will inevitably increase, and it will inevitably ask for help from the surrounding cities. Although Xiyun City has a small force, it is located in the interior of Anluo Province and will not face the attack of the three cities of Zhu Yan directly. There is a high probability that most of the troops will be dispatched to reinforce Bo'an City."

"In this way, the Zhu Yan Empire first showed its sincerity, and let the people in the poisonous mist forest dispel their worries and let it go!"

"But..." The person who spoke this time was Guo Zi, and after hearing the general idea after meeting him, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the purpose of Zhu Yan Empire doing this?"

"It took a lot of effort, just to help these criminals take down Xiyun City?"

"Then once they retreat, the relieved Bo'an City can still recover the lost ground. It's meaningless to do so!"

Meng Yang nodded his head beside him, and couldn't agree more with Guo Zi's statement.

But Chen Ze closed his eyes and sighed, "I can't take it back."

As he said, he took out the map of Anluo Province, spread it out in front of everyone, pointed to Xiyun City and said, "The people in the Poison Mist Forest and the small number of elites from the Zhuyan Empire who sneaked in secretly, should be able to get back together in a very short period of time." Take down the defenseless Xiyun City, and then, if it's me..."

His finger slanted out, pointing to Qiuding City, which is more than a hundred miles away from Xiyun City, and he said decisively: "I will take Qiuding again without stopping. The situation of this city is similar to that of Xiyun City. At this moment, we must send reinforcements to help Bo'an , is also a defensively empty city.”

"Destroy Qiuding, set fire to the city, then go to Nanren City, burn it again, and then go to Chiyuan..."

When Chen Ze said a word, he swiped his finger diagonally, and when he pointed to it, the voice fell, and Meng Yang and others beside him were already dripping with cold sweat.

If the province of Anluo is compared to a giant, Bo'an City is the giant's head, and the half circle Chen Ze draws obliquely is like a slash on the giant's neck, cutting Anluo to the limit. Save your life!

Chen Ze breathed out, and then said: "Except for Xiyun City, I will attack but not occupy the other cities, and set fire to all the cities. In this way, a large number of refugees will flee from the city, and these refugees will gather on the official roads everywhere. , can play a role.”

He stretched out a finger and said coldly: "The blocked official road will greatly delay the speed of reinforcements from the rear. Taking advantage of this time, these sharp knives composed of felons and Zhu Yan's elite will wreak havoc on roads, cut off bridges, and It is not impossible for Ancheng to be completely isolated as an island."

"Finally, Bo'an City itself has a strong military force, coupled with the reinforcements sent from the surrounding cities, the daily supply of soldiers and rations alone will be a large amount."

"The so-called three armies go first without using food and grass, and after cutting off the material support from the rear, guess how many days can you survive with the reserves of Bo'an City?"
