The Era of Generals

Chapter 206   The real purpose

Zheng Yuanlong will go to Zhangning City, that is to say, Xiyun City will be vacant.

"You want me to take people to move to Xiyun City?"

Wen Xian knew, Hua Lao immediately understood Chen Ze's intentions.

"That's right, West Cloud City!"

Chen Ze nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Although Xiyun City is small, it is enough to accommodate the people you want to protect, Mr. Hua."

"Although the remoteness of Xiyun City is a bit remote, it is precisely because of the remoteness that it will filter out many troubles."

He paused for a moment, then popped a finger, "First, Mr. Hua, when you chose to come to Bo'an City, you considered that you could protect the families of those brothers nearby, but in fact, the importance of Bo'an City is still too high."

"As the barrier of Anluo Province, Bo'an City has a resident force of one million. With such a huge force, Mr. Hua is also the chief officer of the city's military aircraft and has the right to deploy troops. feeling uneasy."

"Then if it is in Xiyun City, the hidden danger of Hua Lao will be greatly reduced, at least it can stabilize the suspicion of some people."

Then popped out the second finger, "Secondly, compared to Bo'an City, Xiyun City is too small, so small that it is more like a place to retire for the elderly, and going to Xiyun City is more in line with your current situation, Mr. Hua. situation."

"The third!"

His gaze lingered for a moment on Xiyun City, which was a small black dot on the map, and then slowly popped out his third finger.

"There is a forest of poisonous mist next to Xiyun City!"

"This forest is densely covered with poisonous swamps and miasma, and the living environment is extremely poor. It has been exiled by the empire's felons before, but in fact, the forest of poisonous mist is not as bad as it seems on the surface."

"As long as it is used properly, the miasma of the poisonous swamp is not a natural fortification. It can become a second stronghold. Once something happens to Xiyun City, it can retreat into the forest of poisonous mist in a very short period of time. The two can interact with each other. into horns."

"There is a fourth point!"

Chen Ze took a deep breath, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer, and he said in a deep voice: "The battle between Nantes Province and Anluo Province is a great time to attract attention. If you move to Xiyun City at this time, you will not be affected. Obstruction can be done cheaply!"

Elder Hua was silent, his slightly drooping eyes were flickering, obviously thinking about Chen Ze's suggestion.

He is very clear about the first three points, and he can understand the fourth point with a little thought.

The previous battle seemed to be just a confrontation between the two empires on the border, but in fact, the use of so many troops would of course attract the attention of all parties.

Especially Zhang Chengwang's disastrous defeat. How long has it been since such a huge loss?

The four great empires have fought endlessly, and after so many years, the framework has already been stabilized.

Although all of them have the grand ambition to unify the world, in fact, under the situation of mutual containment and mutual restraint, although there are constant wars, more of them are just frictions that are only tasted.

On this point, all countries have a tacit understanding, and they are unwilling to easily break this balance, and give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.

This time, Zhang Chengwang's approach was really risky. He actually used all the troops of Nantes Province to attack Bo'an City, so that the troops from both sides reached an astonishing four to five million people.

Of course, such a scale will attract the attention of all parties. Even Bai Lie and Xuan Jia, who did not participate in it, want to seize opportunities that are beneficial to their own side in this battle.

It has to be said that although Zhang Chengwang took the risk this time, the strategy was actually successful. It's just a pity that by chance, Chen Ze broke through the most critical link, so that the success failed.

This failure will not end with Zhang Chengwang's death, on the contrary, this is just the beginning.

Zhang Chengwang was defeated, and it was a big defeat. Not to mention the loss of more than two million troops in Nantes Province, Bo'an City seized the opportunity to counterattack Nantes Province.

Given the current state of emptiness in the Nante province, it was impossible to guard against the wolf-like tiger and Yang Mingzhong's half a million elite soldiers.

So what should I do if I can't prevent it?

It is impossible to hand over the province of Nantes to others, right?

Therefore, it is inevitable to transfer troops from neighboring provinces to support them.

But after all, it is a shortfall of more than 2 million troops. This deployment will suddenly strain the troops in neighboring provinces, and will fall into a disadvantage in front of the enemies that they need to guard against.

How could other empires miss this great opportunity?

Taking advantage of Zhu Yan Empire's major mistake this time, it would be strange if they didn't ruthlessly tear off a piece of fat from Zhu Yan Empire's body.

Naturally, this also included the Qingyang Empire as the victorious nation.

Right now is the golden age of taking advantage of the advantages. If there is a chance in the neighboring provinces, their eyes will definitely fall on the Zhu Yan Empire. Who will put more energy on Hua Lao who has been decadent for many years?

Even if there is, at most it is just to maintain a minimum level of vigilance.

And West Cloud City is far from the kind of weight that can trigger vigilance, at best it just makes people pay attention.

This is the opportunity!

When the fighting gradually subsided and everyone turned their attention from Zhu Yan Empire back to their own home, Elder Hua was able to take root in Xiyun City.

For this barren and undeveloped small town, even if you have doubts about Mr. Hua's choice, you will never attack directly, but will choose to wait and see first.

But in fact, Hua Lao didn't want to do anything. What happened in Bo'an City, it was still the same when he arrived in Xiyun City. The only difference was that it was safer than in Bo'an City, and he could better protect the people he wanted to protect.

This is Chen Ze's idea, a safer method than letting Hua Lao stay in Bo'an City.

However, Hua Lao is so easy to fool?

After the initial excitement, Hua Lao, who gradually calmed down, resumed his own thinking. So, after Chen Ze finished speaking, what he showed to Chen Ze was a face that looked like a smile but not a smile.

"You... finished?"

he asked.

Chen Ze rubbed his nose, his expression was a little weird, "It's over."

"No, not yet."

Hua Lao shook his head, "Tell me, what is your real purpose?"

real purpose?

Hearing this sentence, Chen Ze didn't show surprise or any other emotions, but a calm face.

"Yes, I do have another purpose, but what I said before is not harmful to you, Mr. Hua, only good!"

His expression looked very sincere.

"I know."

Hua Lao calmly replied: "It is indeed beneficial to me to do so, but it is actually limited, and it is not worth such a lot of trouble, so I want to hear what is the purpose of your persuading me."

"My purpose..."

Chen Zedao: "Speaking out may be different from Hua Lao's cognition, but I really...I am very disgusted with the current practice of separating soldiers and generals in the empire, so..."
