The Era of Generals

Chapter 518  Hua Lao's Return

Facts have proved that Qingfeng City's eyes on Zheng Yuanyun are also very accurate.

Even during the period when Zheng Yuanyun was still strong, he had already planned to invite Hua Lao in advance.

And it's not surprising that Hua Laohui agreed to this matter.

You know, at that time, Chen Ze had even sent people back to Xiyun City to rescue soldiers. It is conceivable that he was in a difficult situation at that time.

Although Hua Lao raised another 100,000 troops for Chen Ze to let Huang Shi and Guo Zi take them to Nantes Province, but is it enough if only 100,000?

You must know that Chen Ze already had 100,000 troops in his hands, and if there were more than 100,000, it would only be 200,000. Compared with Zheng Yuanyun's army of more than 2 million, it was actually of little significance.

What Hua Lao meant was to let Huang Shi lead 100,000 troops to help first, and then rely on his past reputation to quickly gather another troop to go to the front line.

But even he probably didn't expect that as soon as Huang Shi and others left, the envoy sent by Qingfeng City would arrive right behind.

Want him to take over as the city lord of Bo'an City?

At that time, Zheng Yuanyun was very powerful, wouldn't Qingfeng City be afraid of being dissatisfied when Zheng Yuanyun's class teacher returned to the court?

Actually, no.

If Zheng Yuanyun returned to Anluo Province, there would actually only be two outcomes.

The first is that he has made great contributions to completely bringing the territory of Nantes Province under the banner of the Qingyang Empire.

In this way, he is a great hero of the empire and deserves a big reward. Therefore, is it appropriate that Zheng Yuanyun is still the lord of Bo'an City?

Of course he deserves better treatment and a bigger city. By that time, with two provinces in his hands, a Bo'an city is no longer his focus, and the Qingyang Empire will look for a better place. The important place is to rebuild a mansion for Zheng Yuanyun.

Being so valued by the empire, and with great achievements in hand, Zheng Yuanyun certainly wouldn't say anything. A mere Bo'an city really no longer fit his status at that time.

Of course, this is just one case.

As for Zheng Yuanyun's return, it ended in a big defeat. He didn't win the Nantes province?

What else is there to say?

A good victory was lost by Zheng Yuanyun. After he came back, he would definitely be held accountable by the empire. Of course, he could throw the blame for his unfavorable start on other generals, thereby reducing his own reputation. responsibility.

Although it is possible to do this, it is naturally impossible for Zheng Yuanyun not to take any responsibility. At least, his position as the lord of Bo'an City is obviously impossible to keep.

When he came back, he found that Mr. Hua had occupied Bo'an City and had been named the Lord of Bo'an City by the Qingyang Empire. How dare he say anything?

What can he say for a person who can't even protect himself?

Therefore, when Chen Ze heard that Mr. Hua had returned to Bo'an City long ago and became the city lord, he only thought about it for a while, and he understood the key.

It can be said that Qingfeng City is not without foresight.

On the one hand, they probably felt sorry for Mr. Hua's seclusion, but they couldn't persuade him to come out of the mountain again. Now that Mr. Hua stood up by himself, how could they not seize this opportunity?

Again, what is Zheng Yuanyun compared to a great general?

It is estimated that his name will be passed on to Qingfeng City because of this relationship, right?

Chen Ze smiled wryly, and finally understood what Cheng Hong said. His name had been heard in Qingfeng City, but it turned out to be such a meaning.

Qingfeng City will know, of course not because of how clever he is, how much he has made great contributions to Bo'an City and Anluo Province.

As the core of the Qingyang Empire, Qingfeng City will know, but it is all because of Hua Lao.

It was Mr. Hua who came out of the mountain suddenly, which made everyone very curious. They didn't know what caused this wise general who had long been out of the world to come back out of the world.

After a quick investigation, Chen Ze, who did not hide anything, would immediately come into the eyes of Qingfeng City, and it was because of this little association leader that Mr. Hua came out of the mountain.

Then of course Qingfeng City would not miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of Chen Ze being trapped in Nantes Province, they went to Xiyun City to invite Hua Lao, who also wanted to help Chen Ze, so they took advantage of This opportunity to obtain the identity of the city lord of Bo'an City.

Once his identity is confirmed, when Zheng Yuanyun comes back in the future, no matter whether he wins or loses, Mr. Hua is on the bright side, if Zheng Yuanyun wants to touch Chen Ze, he has to weigh it carefully.

In this way, it can be said that each takes what he needs.

On the other hand, if Hua Lao can return at this time, it will not only be a good thing for the Qingyang Empire, but also a shock to other empires!

You must know that the impact caused by the battle between An Luo and Nantes is far-reaching. Of course, as the victorious country, the Qingyang Empire will have greater initiative, but it cannot be underestimated. series of riots.

Then there is a great general of the empire sitting in charge, and he is also a wise general of Qingyang who is famous throughout the continent. This deterrent power is naturally not small for other countries.

In any case, the Qingyang Empire hoped that Elder Hua would stand in the front row at this time, and it just so happened that Elder Hua also hoped that at this time, he could use his influence to quickly gather troops.

The two hit it off immediately, and Zheng Yuanyun left Nantes province and took most of his cronies with him, so there was no suspense at all about the matter of Hua Lao taking control of Bo'an City.

Therefore, Chen Ze also understood at the same time that Cheng Hong had been refusing to tell him who sent him to take over Luo Zongbing's position.

Let Hua Lao take over Bo'an City, although this is the meaning of Qingfeng City, but to put it bluntly, it is the meaning of the imperial family.

The royal family has royal considerations, and the imperial royal family is naturally willing to win over any talent with great military talent.

But the royal family's intentions could not overwhelm the intentions of the other people.

Those people are... the Three Great National Teachers!

When Mr. Hua retired in despair, the shadows of the Three Great Masters were definitely among them, and afterward, it was indeed the Three Great Masters, including another Great General.

Therefore, if you want to say who is the least willing to see Hua Lao's return, it is undoubtedly them.

At this time, because of the presence of the royal family, it is impossible for the three major national teachers to vote against it explicitly, but they can only acquiesce in the occurrence of this matter.

But secretly, how could they be willing?

As long as Hualao exists, he will be a threat to them. If Hualao's old troops return in the future, and he regains his huge strength, will he settle accounts in the fall?

This is also a question that national teachers need to consider.

So at this time, it is still important to be able to grasp some of Hua Lao's painful feet or handles.

For example, using power for personal gain?

Hua Lao was willing to come out of the rivers and lakes for Chen Ze, and he could see the importance of Chen Ze in his heart, so if he stared at Hua Lao's eyes, he would naturally follow Chen Ze.
