Chapter 148

Hua Lao did not deny Chen Ze's statement.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head sadly, "I owe them, but I seem to owe you for it."

"So this time, although I don't know why you must insist on leading the army by yourself, since you insist, I'll give you a hand and return this favor."

This time it was Chen Ze's turn to be silent.

Still human?

With your life?

Hua Lao's words let him know that the other party is not really optimistic about him and thinks he can really solve the crisis for bo'an city.

I just want to... Give him back.

So is that why the fat shopkeeper looks sad?

If the heart is dead, old Hua may not want to live long ago, but there is only a reason.

Taking this opportunity, if this matter succeeds, he will repay Chen Ze a favor. If it fails, it will also meet his wish and end the rest of his life!

Fat shopkeeper has always been with Hua Lao. In recent years, he is also the only one who takes care of Hua Lao. I'm afraid no one in the world understands Hua Lao better than him.

This is why Mr. Jing, who is also a disciple, tried to persuade him, but the fat shopkeeper stopped him.

"Mr. Hua..."

Chen Ze hesitated and said, "I don't know something..."

"You want to ask, it's just a war. Why am I so depressed?"

Old Hua seemed to see through his mind at a glance.

“……”

"Yes!"

Chen Ze took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "in any case, it was just a World War I. who dares to say that he won every battle and never lost in his life?"

"What's more, you couldn't say you were defeated at that time. You should even say it was a big victory!"

"As for the later events, I believe if old Hua really wants to argue for himself, there will always be no room. After all, as long as people with a clear eye can see that the enemy withdrew because of old Hua!"

"Win... And... Lose?"

Old Hua looked up at the ceiling and said to himself, "what's the use of such a victory?"

"Such a victory will not return the lives of my brothers!"

"But..."

Chen Ze wanted to say more, but he saw that old Hua interrupted him with a wave of his hand. There was no doubt: "this matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need to say more!"

In this regard, Chen Ze can only sigh.

He knows the regret in old Hua's heart. His depression comes from the sentence that he can't return his brother's life, but what Chen Ze wants to say is, how can there be an immortal in war?

The so-called benevolence is not in charge of the army, benevolence is not in power, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Anyone may die.

Although those people lost their lives because of Hua Lao's decision, soldiers should have obeyed the command. From the first day they joined the army, they should know and have this awareness.

From what he saw twice, is Hua always the kind of indecisive person?

Of course not.

What's more, Hua Lao's order at that time was also for the sake of the overall situation. It did lift a big crisis of the Lord of Qingyang. It can be said that he deserved his death.

And didn't Hua Lao also set up dangerous places at that time?

So in Chen Ze's opinion, Hua should not have been like this. The action of waving and interrupting also seems to prove that there is a secret.

But the other party obviously didn't want to entangle about this matter, and Chen Ze also closed his mouth.

But Hua Lao turned and asked, "I don't know one thing."

"You have done a lot of credit for this today. If your strategy is effective, you can also get a lot of war achievements even if you don't lead the troops yourself."

"When I was in Xiyun City, a Jing released a meritorious task for you who participated in the defense of the supply line through the military aircraft department. The reward is also very rich. If you add the two together, it is estimated that there is not much difference between you and the assistant leader."

"In that case, why should you take such a big risk?"

This problem is not only the old Chinese, but also the doubts of everyone in the Council hall.

Let's say that Chen Ze is arrogant and greedy for work, but he is too greedy and even overestimates himself.

"This..."

Chen Ze smiled bitterly. He was greedy for work. Of course, he was greedy. Who told the general star system to only admit the battle led by him?

If you just participate, you can't get victory.

This can be proved by intercepting Zhu Yan's ambush on the supply line of Qilin city at that time.

At that time, he led more than 7000 soldiers under his command to fight with him, and his combat achievements were not less. But later, the reinforcements arrived, and the reinforcements also belonged to the troops from Xiyun City, which also appeared there because of Chen Ze's suggestions. However, the enemies killed by the reinforcements did not add even a little combat merit to Chen Ze.

So can Chen Ze not be greedy?

We should not only be greedy, but also be greedy that others cannot understand.

"It's ok if you don't want to."

Seeing his complexion, old Hua stopped insisting and asked, "how sure are you of this plan? Can you say that?"

"Of course."

Chen Ze nodded. Hua Lao also participated in this matter, and still took his life to support him. The other party's bet has been made. He will not be unable to meet such a small request.

After careful consideration, Chen Ze said seriously, "eighty percent. Considering all the adverse factors, I think the success probability of this plan is eighty percent!"

"Eighty percent?"

Old Hua nodded thoughtfully, "80% of the time, you can spell it."

Suddenly asked, "your entourage is not full yet?"

Chen zewei was stunned and said, "No."

In fact, his entourage has only one Li Quan'an so far. Although Meng Yang and others are his confidants, there are still unfinished procedures on the side of Qingyang empire. They have been busy running around before and have no time to take them to the military aircraft Office of each city to sign documents.

In other words, Meng Yang and others are not recognized by the Empire, but Chen Ze's own private followers.

The task of exterminating ghosts and sorrows has long been completed. It is reasonable to say that after returning to bo'an City, Chen Ze should return the seconded military power of Meng Yang and others to the military aircraft department, and those Xuanjia elites have to return to the barracks for standby.

When Chen Ze came back this time, he also planned to take the people to the military aircraft office to go through the formalities. As a result, he was led all the way to the city master's house by the fat shopkeeper from the gate of the city. He never found a chance.

Besides, besides Meng Yang and Chen Ming, other people Chen Ze are all taken by Guo Zi, who is responsible for escorting Du Jun and other three Zhu Yan scouts. They are not here at the moment.

"You are a first-class counselor now. You can recruit 55 followers. You leave five vacant seats. I have five people here that are just suitable for you. I believe they will be helpful to this action."

Hua Lao pondered for a moment and suggested to Chen Ze.
