Chapter 205

Hua Lao is silent and decadent.

He didn't deny or admit Chen Ze's speculation. He just grabbed the wine pot on the table and poured liquor into his mouth.

In less than a moment, his eyes were red.

Chen Ze said, "and I guess the families you rescued are in anluoxing Province, even not far from bo'an City, or in bo'an city."

"That's why you came to Boan."

"First, you can take care of them nearby. Second, if something similar happens again, you, as the chief military officer of bo'an City, can directly mobilize your troops."

"As for Meng Yang, you know these Xuanjia soldiers are impulsive and irritable. If they know that someone threatens their brother's family members, they will jump out and work hard."

"You don't want this tragedy to happen, so you'd rather Meng Yang blame you and hate you than tell them the truth, and let them spend five years in bo'an barracks."

Finally, he paused and watched old Hua pour another mouthful of liquor before he asked, "I don't know if I'm right?"

"What do you want to say?"

Hua Lao was noncommittal and casually wiped the corners of his mouth, but his mood calmed down.

Chen Ze suddenly mentioned this past event. Naturally, it was not aimless. He deliberately exposed Hua Lao's scars.

He thought about it, habitually pointed his finger at the tip of his nose and sorted out his thoughts. Then he said, "there has never been a thief for a thousand days. How can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?"

"The more nervous you are about these people, the more vulnerable you will become to be exploited by the enemy, in case..."

"No chance!"

At this point, old Hua said flatly, "what else do I deserve to be remembered by the enemy now?"

"Or do I have any enemies?"

"No?"

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "maybe old Hua, you don't exist anymore, but what about your students?"

Hearing this, Hua Lao frowned slightly.

After taking root in the Qingyang empire for so many years, of course, he is not only the five thousand brothers who have turned into loess. In fact, the generals led by him are all over the Qingyang empire.

The fat shopkeeper who has been following him is Mr. Jing, the chief military aircraft officer of Xiyun City, as well. There are more people who hold important positions throughout the Empire.

These people either became the subordinates of his students with the recruitment of Hua Lao in the early stage, and later accumulated military achievements, relieved the students' documents and became the leaders of the command side, or they were deeply indebted to Hua Lao and were willing to be loyal to his generals.

If these people are branches and leaves, then HuaLao is a strong main trunk, spreading branches and leaves, taking root and sprouting in the soil of Qingyang empire.

The three wise generals and two generals of Qingyang Empire also have their own factions. The forces of the five people are united, including almost 70% of the generals of the whole Qingyang empire. They are the five giant pillars to consolidate the Qingyang empire.

At the same time, they are also five sharp swords that restrict each other.

Everyone wants their big tree to be stronger. For this reason, they fight openly and secretly. For this reason, they unite vertically and horizontally. It's no secret to fight privately.

At that time, because of his temporary defeat, the other four took the opportunity to take away most of his power, but there were still some loyal to him.

For example, Mr. Jing, as well as the loyal generals who Mr. Jing mentioned implicitly, have been quietly waiting for the opportunity to help old Hua recover rivers and mountains.

This force is also not weak, at least it is also a seed with extremely strong vitality, which may break through the ground at any time.

Will the people who have gained great benefits in this matter give old Hua a chance to make a comeback?

Although Hua Lao has fallen so far, as long as his people are still alive, it is a threat. In the words of Chen Ze's previous life, it is a time bomb.

No one knows when it will explode, but what they know is that once it explodes, it will be earth shaking!

So, no enemies?

How can the wisdom of Hua Lao not understand this truth, but he chose another solution.

That's concession.

Use your daily depression to ensure the safety of those generals who are loyal to him. At the same time, you also closely guard his fetters in bo'an City, that is, his weaknesses, so that no one can take advantage of them.

But as Chen Ze said, there is only one who has been a thief for a thousand days. How can there be one who has been a thief for a thousand days?

No one can guarantee that he will not make mistakes, nor can Hua Lao. Therefore, in case of any negligence, this weakness may be amplified at any time and become the fatal point to uproot him!

Therefore, as far as China and Laos are concerned, there are also time bombs, not one, but four!

"Now is an opportunity!"

Seeing that Hua Lao was still hesitating, Chen Ze cut the railway: "an opportunity to turn passivity into initiative!"

"Active?"

Old Hua frowned, but his eyes fell on the sand table, "which city do you think is my opportunity?"

He did not object. On the contrary, he seemed to agree with Chen Ze's words.

Chen Ze smiled. The Hua Lao he thought of had already thought about it. This problem sounded more like a test to him.

So he said, "Xiyun city!"

"West Cloud City?"

The sand table is not so big. It can display the whole province of anluoxing. Old Hua smelled the speech and subconsciously put his eyes on the map hanging on the wall.

"Zheng Yuanlong probably won't return to Xiyun city!"

Chen Ze continued.

In the fierce battle with Zhang Chengwang's troops before, Zheng Yuanlong was seriously injured, but fortunately he did not hurt the root. After these days of conditioning, he has recovered a lot.

"Because Huang Zongbing?"

Old Hua knew what Chen Ze meant, and when he heard the speech, he nodded slightly and said, "yes, Zheng Yuanyun tried his best. Even the enemy took the opportunity to solve general Huang. When Zheng Yuanlong's injury is stable, he can go to zhangning city to take over the post of city master!"

At the beginning, Zheng Yuanyun took advantage of the information brought back by Chen Ze and others to take Huang Zongbing on the charge that zhangningcheng neglected his duty and gave the enemy an opportunity. Both of them were at the scene at that time.

In fact, everyone present at that time understood that even if Huang Zongbing was at fault, Zheng Yuanyun was not taking the opportunity to seize the power of Huang Zongbing and give his own brother Zheng Yuanlong a chance.

Although zhangning city and Xiyun city are both city masters, the difference is huge.

Xiyun city is just a small city in the border area of anluoxing province. It is located in a barren area and has limited development potential. Even the number of troops stationed is only 100000, which is not even comparable to the towns attached to some big cities.

But what about zhangning city?

Although it is in the east of relatively barren anluohang Province, it is one of the six major granary cities. Its rich oil and water can not be compared with ten Xiyun cities.

Arranging his brother to work in zhangshoucheng seems to be just a flat tone, but the great interests can be seen at a glance.

After this war, how could Zheng Yuanlong return to Xiyun city and give up zhangning city?
