The Era of Generals

Chapter 436   Upright Ma Hui

hope so?

Looking at Ma Hui's tangled face, Chen Ze shook his head and didn't say much.

Of course, he also understands that Ma Hui's hope has long since come to nothing. There is no hope. Zheng Yuanyun is now at the point where he is running out of ammunition and food.

If Ouyang Lixing hadn't played a trick at this time, Zheng Yuanyun would have been besieged on all sides, how could he still be wandering around the Nantes province waiting for support?

That's right, Chen Ze can naturally see Ouyang Lixing's small plan.

Now that things have come to this point, does Ouyang Lixing still not have the strength to defeat Zheng Yuanyun in one fell swoop?

The answer is of course no, the reason why Zheng Yuanyun is still allowed to exist is just a trick played by Ouyang Li in order to guard against himself.

But this is also understandable. Chen Ze put himself in Ouyang Lixing's perspective and thought about it. If he were in his position, he would probably make the same choice.

For Ouyang Lixing, no matter whether it is Zheng Yuanyun or Chen Ze, although one side is an enemy and the other is an ally, in essence, for Ouyang Lixing, both parties are members of the Qingyang Empire .

As long as they are people from the Qingyang Empire, that is, people who are against the empire, to put it bluntly, they are all enemies.

Then Ouyang strictly kept Zheng Yuanyun to restrict Chen Ze, which is not a problem.

It's just that for Chen Ze, it will obviously be more troublesome.

At this moment, not only did he have to continue to fight with Zheng Yuanyun, but also since Ouyang Lixing had shown his intention to take precautions, he had to take some necessary precautions on his side.

Don't forget, the place where Chen Ze is temporarily staying is still the city lord's mansion of the other empire's province. To Ouyang Lixing, he is also an invader.

But right now, of course, there is no need to pay too much attention to Ouyang Lixing. To put it bluntly, Ouyang Lixing's greatest hope right now is to send a large number of reinforcements from the rear after the Zhuyan Empire deploys it. When the total counterattack.

As for now, Ouyang Lixing has just regained some advantages just now, of course, at this time, safety is the main priority.

Chen Ze was thinking about it, but Ma Hui was still frowning.

Although Chen Ze helped him find a good reason, but the reason was just a reason after all, before it was proven, how could Ma Hui feel relieved.

He thought and thought, and seeing that Chen Ze didn't intend to speak again, he simply turned to the messenger soldier and said, "Brother, please make another trip, go back to the front line to find Mr. Zheng, or your direct superior." , Let me explain the situation here in detail!"

He really didn't want to take the blame for this, but if Huang Shi really disappeared right now, Ma Hui would take the blame for it, and no one could save him.

The messenger soldier naturally had no objection, he said yes, knowing that the matter was serious, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he left quickly.

There were only Ma Hui and Chen Ze left in the meeting hall, and after Ma Hui wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, he suddenly saw Chen Ze looking at him with burning eyes.

"how?"

Ma Hui was startled, subconsciously touched his cheek, "Master Chen?"

"General Ma, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Chen Ze touched his nose with a serious expression on his face.

It made Ma Hui nervous again in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Master Chen, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."

"That's it..."

Chen Ze thought for a while, then said solemnly: "General Ma, I wonder if you are familiar with General Huang Shi?"

"this……"

Ma Hui frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "To be honest, Mr. Chen, I have cooperated with General Huang Shi twice before, so we can be regarded as acquaintances. However, I am not good at friendship with him. To the point of entrusting life and death."

"Not to the point of entrusting life and death?"

Chen Ze sighed helplessly, and said, "General Ma, you are really the most upright person among the people I know."

These words are not nonsense, Ma Hui can be fooled by him again and again, isn't it just very straightforward?

Of course, what Chen Ze said now was not teasing Ma Hui, but just waiting for him to make up his own mind.

Sure enough, after saying a word, Ma Hui suddenly thought too much.

His complexion changed drastically: "What does Mr. Chen mean?"

Chen Ze sighed: "There are outsiders here just now, and I have some things to say that are not easy to say. Now that there are only us two brothers, we might as well be more open and honest."

Ma Hui nodded quickly and said, "Master Chen's words mean that I might be deceived by General Huang Shi?"

"This is just speculation."

Chen Ze didn't deny it, but he didn't affirm it either. Instead, he said, "General Ma might as well think about it. With a huge army of 500,000 troops, how can General Huang Shi manage to escape without being discovered by anyone?" Under the circumstances, go deep into the front line?"

"This...General Huang Shi..."

Ma Hui's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he said weakly: "Didn't Lord Chen say just now that General Huang Shi might happen to... get lost?"

The voice of these words is getting smaller and smaller, lost?

As a well-trained mid-to-high-ranking general, getting lost should never happen. Let alone Huang Shi, who has a higher rank, Ma Hui believes that even if he is himself, he probably would not make such confusing behaviors.

And it was too much of a coincidence to get lost.

Is it just enough to get lost enough to bypass all the cities without entering the sight of any eyeliner?

"Master Chen, are you saying that General Huang Shi did it on purpose?"

Ma Hui couldn't hold back his sweat any longer. When Chen Ze said this, the sliver of luck that he had held before suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

"Tell the truth."

Chen Ze frowned, and said: "Analyzing all kinds of situations, it's hard for me not to make such a guess!"

Turning the subject, he said: "General Ma might as well tell me in detail why you exchanged military power with General Huang Shi. Of course, if it is inconvenient, forget it."

What's the inconvenience now?

Ma Hui, who was anxious in his heart, quickly nodded his head and said, "It's all thanks to Mr. Chen!"

At present, Chen Ze led Huang Shi to the vicinity of Xilong City. Later, when he and Huang Shi were chatting happily, Mr. Zheng sent someone to inquire about the situation in Xilong City to inform them one by one.

Chen Ze didn't open his mouth, and waited until Ma Hui had finished speaking, then touched his nose and said, "So, the exchange of military power was actually requested by General Huang Shi?"

"good!"

Ma Hui exclaimed: "General Huang Shi once said that he would take care of my worries, so he exchanged military power and let him explain to Mr. Zheng. It's ridiculous that I thanked him a thousand times at the beginning. I didn't expect that. It's going to be like this!"

As he spoke, Ma Hui's face was filled with bitterness. It was indeed something he never expected to turn into the current situation.
