I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Zhong Zhentian's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable tone, as if Zhong Zhentian had unknowingly become the leader of these people rather than their colleague.

After hearing what Zhong Zhentian said, everyone calmed down a little.

It seemed that what Zhong Zhentian said was right. They were all native Chu people and had served as officers in Yangcheng for many years. They were very familiar with the surrounding terrain. If they ambushed the army in advance, unless there was a spy of Lin Fan among them, how could Lin Fan notice it?

Could it be that Lin Fan is a god with three heads and six arms?

After seeing the reactions of the crowd, Zhong Zhentian felt a little relieved. After all, as long as these people agreed, he could use a large army to besiege Lin Fan.

"In addition, generals, you must understand one thing. The waters near Yangcheng are well developed, and Lin Fan did not bring any warships. If we want to fight Lin Fan on the water, generals, what do you think Lin Fan can be confident of?" Zhong Zhentian continued.

Zhong Zhentian boosted everyone's confidence little by little. After thinking about it carefully, they found that what Zhong Zhentian said seemed to be right. This was the State of Chu, with rivers, lakes and seas everywhere. Lin Fan didn't bring any warships with him, so how could he possibly compete with them?

"General Zhong is right. We can rely on the terrain to fight against Lin Fan. As long as Lin Fan is not a god, he will definitely lose."

"That's right, this is the Chu State, it's not the turn of a Lin Fan to act wildly."

"Yes, if anyone dares to mention retreat again, I will be the first to get angry with him."

"..."

Zhong Zhentian was very disdainful in his heart. These people had just backed out one by one, but now they were more active than the other. Is this the general of Chu? Is there really hope for him to go abroad like this?

Zhong Zhentian was not sure, but as a general of the Chu State, he would definitely fight for the Chu State until the last moment. Even if he would die, he would raise the weapon in his hand to resist foreign invaders.

Zhong Zhentian winked at the soldier beside him, who immediately spread out the map. Zhong Zhentian pointed to a mountain on the map and said, "Look, everyone. The terrain here is high, and there are many caves on the mountain. These caves can be used to hide soldiers, and they are not far from the official road. I think we can set up an ambush here."

Several generals all nodded. At this moment, they really regarded Zhong Zhentian as a general, and they were just deputy generals, so they had no dissatisfaction with Zhong Zhentian's plan.

Zhong Zhentian felt even more sad when he saw these people nodding like puppets, but he couldn't help but cooperate with them at this moment. He could only suppress his inner dissatisfaction and continue speaking.

"Also, everyone, please look here. This is a lake, and it's not far from the mountain. After the ambushers on the mountain start, I estimate that Lin Fan will most likely run to the lake. Then we can ambush him by the lake and defeat Lin Fan's men. Then we can attack him by water. Lin Fan doesn't have a warship, so how can he be our opponent?"

After Zhong Zhentian finished speaking, everyone was thinking about the feasibility of Zhong Zhentian's plan.

These people may be clever in other aspects, but when it comes to fighting, they are just a bunch of idiots. All they think about is money and beauties. They have no idea whether Zhong Zhentian's plan is feasible.

But this does not mean that they will not pretend. They all pretended to be thinking hard. Finally, as if they had discussed it beforehand, they all said to Zhong Zhentian: "General Zhong's plan is perfect. Let's implement it according to General Zhong's plan."

If it wasn't because he was facing a formidable enemy, Zhong Zhentian would definitely quarrel with these people. Even if the matter was brought to the emperor's side, Zhong Zhentian would still ask the emperor why he allowed these good-for-nothings to be the commanders of important military bases. Was it because he was worried that the State of Chu would not perish fast enough?

In fact, most of these people are descendants of aristocratic families, because in the State of Chu, aristocratic families can almost be said to control the government, and many important military locations and important departments of the court are all controlled by the descendants of aristocratic families.

Of course, this does not mean that Chu was a weak country. The emperor of Chu knew the threat posed by the aristocratic families, but he cleverly made the children of the aristocratic families obedient. The aristocratic families gained power from the emperor of Chu, but the prerequisite was obedience. In this way, the two sides reached a delicate balance.

It can be said that everyone has their own needs. Among the aristocratic families, the most powerful one is naturally the Huangfu family. Therefore, the Huangfu family has a very high say in the court. This is one of the reasons why many people are afraid of Huangfu Pengwu.

On the one hand, it was because Huangfu Pengwu’s martial arts power was too high, and on the other hand, it was because the Huangfu family controlled the government and had the final say in the court, so no one would offend anyone from the Huangfu family.

The people who were discussing with Zhong Zhentian at this time were also children of aristocratic families, but the families behind them were not as powerful as the Huangfu family. They were just smaller families.

If this were not the case, they might not be serving as officials here now, but rather a more important military stronghold.

After Zhong Zhentian discussed the plan with these people, he said to them: "Generals, we are facing a powerful enemy now. I hope you can listen to my command. After we defeat the enemy, I will naturally apologize to you, but I hope you can listen to my command now."

Everyone present thought about it and decided that since they didn't have any plans, they might as well listen to Zhong Zhentian. After defeating Lin Fan, they could get some credit.

"Of course, I will listen to General Zhong's words."

"..."

Zhong Zhentian finally nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, this group of trash were just a group of trash, and not those trash who knew they were trash and were self-righteous.

"In this case, we should ambush 50,000 troops here, 30,000 here, and 80,000 by the river. As long as Lin Fan passes by here, we can launch a sneak attack. By then, even if Lin Fan has extraordinary abilities, he will fall into our trap. Then our army will surround Lin Fan. Even if we don't go to war with him, we can starve him to death."

Zhong Zhentian pointed to the map and made deployments. No one present listened to what Zhong Zhentian said afterwards. They just remembered where and how many people should be ambushed.

After Zhong Zhentian finished speaking, he immediately asked these people to prepare. After all, Lin Fan was about to arrive, and if they didn't prepare now, it would be a little late.

Who knows, Lin Fan might find out by then, and then find a way to counterattack him. This is something Zhong Zhentian doesn't want to see, so everything must be implemented as soon as possible.
