Huang Liang's answer greatly surprised Chen Ze.

But when you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

In today's situation, the four border cities, which are not important, are in a position that no one cares about.

Cheng Hong is busy blocking Juhe city and retaining Ouyang. He has no time to pay attention to these dispensable four cities.

Moreover, he had Ketan city as his basis. The poor troops of the four border cities alone could not surpass Ketan city and had an impact on Cheng Hong's plan.

In other words, we can't support Ouyang to implement it.

As for the Bailie Empire, it is even more impossible for them to go the opposite way. Instead of attacking the main city of Fengqi, they ran in the opposite direction to attack the four border cities led by Dongping city.

This is meaningless. Cheng Hong doesn't need their help. If he attacks Dongping City, it won't help except to give more breathing time to Fengqi main city.

It seems complicated at first thought, but in fact, as long as people with a little military literacy can basically see this vacancy.

Just like Huang Liang, he not only saw the flaw, but even dared to domineer in Dongping city and made up his mind to have a good life for a few days.

It's true that Huangliang is a bandit, but before that, he was also a general.

So he grasped the opportunity accurately and took advantage of it.

Huang Liang dared to do so because he saw the current situation. Is there no one else except Huang Liang?

His peers... Are naturally bandits.

Now that Fengqi province has been invaded in a large area, the inland area must not be suitable for a long time. It is not impossible that bandits such as Huangliang are forced to migrate to the border areas.

Thinking through this section, Huang Liang hesitated and nodded at the same time.

"Those guys..."

Huangliang clenched his teeth and said, "they stepped on the boundary!"

"These guys don't belong to this area. They didn't appear when I attacked Dongping City, but later..."

With this remark, Chen Ze understood.

Things are the same as he thought. Those people should be outlaws.

It was precisely because of the crisis in Fengqi province that they were forced to move here. It is estimated that Huangliang was leading the troops to attack Dongping city.

When they thought about it carefully, they suddenly found that it was profitable, so when they attacked Dongping city in Huangliang, they also led the army to raid the other three cities.

This is the reason why Huangliang hates secretly.

In fact, when he wanted to come, the four border cities were empty, which was a good opportunity for him to start.

And he took the risk to do so. It is estimated that his purpose is not just a Dongping City, but to catch all the four border cities!

There is a huge interest gap between one city and four cities.

Unexpectedly, he did a good job as a pioneer, but he made wedding clothes for others.

With the narration of Huang Liang, Chen Ze gradually restored the situation at that time.

The four border cities were originally one, and even the backup warehouse was shared. It can be imagined that when Dongping city was in trouble, how could the other three cities stand idly by?

Therefore, when Huangliang came to attack Dongping City, the other three cities also sent troops to support it.

So at that time, Huangliang was under the greatest pressure.

But for the sake of great benefits after winning, Huang Liang had to bite his teeth.

Unexpectedly, when he finally took Dongping City, he was surprised to find that during the period when he attacked Dongping City, the other three cities had been taken advantage of by other forces because of the emptiness of troops.

When Huangliang rushed to the three cities, he saw three empty cities that had been washed away.

Those rogue bandits didn't want to be addicted to the city master, and they didn't want to face up to Huangliang. They lost both sides in the struggle.

So they chose the strategy of locust transit, fighting the next city, looting the next city, and then going to the next city.

After Huangliang settles down Dongping City, how can he still have his share?

Huangliang was very angry about this. He was also very unhappy with the rogue bandits who came to cut off their Hu.

It's just a pity that people have already run away. It's useless for Huang Liang to stamp his feet here.

"I see..."

While listening to Huang Liang's story, Chen Ze felt his chin and pondered.

"Do you know where they went?"

After thinking about it, Chen Ze asked again.

"This..."

Huang Liang shook his head and said, "after this, my subordinates have also looked around in many ways, but I haven't found any trace of them."

"Not found?"

This answer made Chen Ze pick his eyebrows, looked carefully at Huang Liang and said in a deep voice, "haven't you looked for it or haven't you found it?"

Huangliang looked positive and said solemnly: "Lord Chen, my subordinates can guarantee that they had tried to send people to investigate at the beginning, but it's a pity that they didn't find any trace!"

This time, he added stress to the four characters he didn't find.

Not finding and not finding are two distinct processes, although the results are the same.

"Yes, but I didn't find it."

Chen Ze silently repeated Huang Liang's words, and recalled in his heart the map around Dongping city he had checked.

It's on the border. It's so big.

As long as those bandits are still in Fengqi Province, Huangliang can't find their reason.

You should know that these people under Huangliang are no better than the regular army in fighting and attacking cities, but they are also strong in inquiring about news.

Otherwise, Huangliang cannot clean up the secret outposts around Dongping city.

In this case, the people he sent couldn't find the trace of those bandits, which seems unreasonable?

Unless

With this in mind, he had nothing to say with Huangliang and immediately told him to step down first.

But he immediately contacted Chen Ming and Gu Qingfeng, who were responsible for guarding the periphery of Dongping city.

In terms of the ability to inquire about news, no matter how strong Huang Liang's men are, they can't be compared with these six experts who were originally scouts.

The message sent by Chen Ze was to let the six people search for the situation in their area to see if there were traces left by a large number of troops.

But what Chen Ze didn't expect was that as soon as his order was issued, there was news from Chen Ming.

It turned out that in the area where Chen Ming was located, he just found a large number of traces of what Chen Ze said. Originally, he wanted to report to Chen Ze. He knew that the two collided with each other.

"Will these traces be left by the troops transferred from Dongping city?"

Chen Ze thought and asked.

"It should not be possible!"

Chen Ming also looked twice more and gave a positive answer.

"Why?"

Chen Ze asked.
