"I see."
Chen Ze thought for a while, and then combined with the scattered bandits he met on the road before, he thought that Mohe didn't lie to him.
This actually solved a doubt of Chen Ze.
When Chen Ming reported to him that there was an outlaw stationed on the main road, he felt very strange.
Then there is a very reluctantly explanation, that is, these people rely on their strong strength and are ready to attack other bandit forces and rob money from them.
But how does that make sense?
If you don't rob a good fat sheep, you have to cut oil on the chicken claws?
How much is that?
Unless this team has a good relationship with the one who looted the three border cities, after helping them break up.
However, in this situation, this is another thing Chen Ze is reluctant to believe.
The heart is separated from the belly!
What's more, it's still two systematic forces. How can they be close?
But there was no better basis for Chen Ze to make other conjectures, so he went according to this idea for the time being.
But now as soon as Mohe said this, Chen Ze suddenly realized the reason why there would be a large number of ambushes here.
Moreover, this explanation is far more reasonable and persuasive than what he thought before.
"So what's your situation now?"
Chen Ze thought carefully again and thought that Mohe didn't need to deceive him on this point.
After all, whether it is true or not, he only needs to lead a large army to see it at a glance.
Anyway, now Chen Ze's troops are also in an advantage.
General Huang has only 20000 troops, and on his side, the total strength of the 5000 soldiers in Dongping city and the bandits in Huangliang is enough to overwhelm the other side.
Although he said that the bandits here are not strong, the person who can lead the team is Chen Ze!
As long as he attached the generals to Meng Yang, the bonus brought by the generals' skills alone was enough to fight the opposite life and couldn't take care of himself.
When you ask, everything will be clear.
Look, Mohe is not a person who doesn't know the importance. He will never deceive him on this point.
So he asked again.
"The current situation is that after General Huang deployed here, he did intercept three bandit forces passing here."
Mohe hurriedly replied, "one of them has more than 5000 people, and the other two are about 8000 people. Except that a few of them ran away, the others ignored the war deaths. About 15000 people were caught by General Huang and escorted to a later position to be strictly guarded."
"Fifteen thousand?"
Chen Ze nodded. The number did not exceed his expectations. What is more ridiculous is that these bandits are really not afraid to die for money.
First, no matter how many troops you have on hand, you just want to catch fat sheep. It's two things to say whether you can beat it or not. In short, you should catch up with the talent first.
If it were not for this greed, they would not have been caught by General Huang and would be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
"Is there enough of his own?"
After thinking about it, he asked one more question.
Mohe nodded and said, "enough."
"General Huang himself has 3000 elite soldiers, who have always followed him. This time, he deployed all the elite soldiers in the rear. With these 3000 elite soldiers, it is more than enough to take care of bandits five times his own."
That's what Chen Ze asked.
General Huang himself has only 20000 troops, and he can't take them all away. Anyway, he has to leave some for General Li, otherwise if the other party can't see two thousand prisoners, he can't get rid of his relationship once he is investigated at that time.
In addition, the 15000 new prisoners he captured also need to be guarded, otherwise they won't be caught in vain?
"So, in fact, there are no 20000 troops ahead?"
Chen Ze looked up and looked ahead. At this time, the sky gradually turned bright, but at a glance, it was still dark.
"No, there are still some."
As a result, Mohe shook his head and said, "in fact, General Huang has almost 25000 troops."
"In addition to what he himself brought from Mohe Province, during this period of time, we have hidden in a small city called Tianhong in Fengqi province. Some 20000 troops in the city have also been occupied by General Huang for their own use. Now they have been domesticated almost."
Chen Ze didn't speak.
This is another small test of the Mo river.
Of course, he knew how many troops General Huang had in front of him.
Chen Ming went to explore before, and Tang Tianxing went to explore again later.
If General Huang wants to leave General Li some troops to take care of the hostages, he needs to send someone to take care of them after catching the prisoners. Once the two phases arrive, his troops will never be so many.
In this way, if General Huang's troops are less than 20000, then Mohe is lying.
But Mo he's answer still can't make Chen Ze doubt him.
"So, those hostages are now in Tianhong city?"
Chen Ze asked again quietly.
"No."
Mohe replied, "just in case, General Li took all the hostages out of the city. Now he is in a small town next to Tianhong city."
Chen Ze knew it.
Mo he's answer was as good as the information sent by Hua Lao.
Old Hua has always been secretly observing the movements of the troops guarding the hostages. It has long been proved that they did not settle in Tianhong City, but were safely hidden in the nearby town.
"Very good."
Chen Ze nodded and looked at Mo watercourse: "since brother Meng has promised you just now, as long as you answer truthfully, you won't take your life, what brother Meng said is equivalent to what I said."
"You go down first. I'll find you if there's a problem."
He waved to Meng Yang.
I'll come to you again if there's a problem. That's a double meaning.
One is the literal meaning, while the other is the implied threat.
How can Mohe not hear?
But he was also calm. He only arched his hand to Chen Ze and said, "then thank Lord Chen for his kindness of not killing."
It seems very certain that Chen Ze will not kill him again.
After Meng Yang took him down, Chen Ze looked down and thought. Then he looked at Tang Tianxing and his son, especially at Tang Feng's face.
"What do you think?" he asked with a smile
"Me?"
Tang Feng was stunned. Unexpectedly, Chen Ze asked himself directly.
He listened to their conversation on the spot, but he really wanted to say what he thought
"Let's hear it."
Chen Ze glanced at Tang Tianxing and said, "with our current situation, what do you think we should do next?"
Of course, he can see that after this trip, Tang Tianxing is very interested in cultivating his son, which is also in line with Chen Ze's intention. Therefore, before making a decision, he doesn't mind spending some time to let Tang Feng play.
