The Era of Generals

Chapter 537: From light to dark

"Kill them all?"

After listening to Mr. Jing's report, Hua Lao frowned suddenly.

That's right, the reason why Mr. Jing appeared in the martial arts training ground at the right time was indeed at the behest of Mr. Hua.

After Hua Lao had a conversation with Chen Ze last night, even though he handed over the task of investigation to Chen Ze, it didn't mean that he let it go.

In fact, this is Hualao's cleverness.

He knew very well that the enemies hidden in the City Lord's Mansion must have focused their attention on him, and his every move, word and deed would probably be recorded in detail.

So at this time, if he wants to deal with it, he will definitely be exposed to the other party's eyes, so that he can make countermeasures in advance, making Hua Lao's plan useless.

Therefore, after Chen Ze came back, Mr. Hua had the idea of ​​turning the light into the dark.

You must know that from the very beginning, he was actually in the dark, and at that time, it was indeed possible for him to let go of his hands and feet and help Chen Ze with all his strength behind his back.

But when the order from Qingfeng City came, Hua Lao had no choice but to come out from the shadows, exposed to everyone's eyes, and became the Bo'an City Lord who was ordered at a critical moment.

As a result, the entire Qingyang Empire... no, it can even be said that the eyes of the entire continent are focused on him.

The former Qingyang Zhi will come back!

Just these simple words are enough to catch people's attention, and it is also enough to make people who have scruples about him more careful.

In fact, Hua Lao also clearly felt that when he returned to Bo'an City and took over as the city lord, all his actions seemed so restrained, especially when he was recruiting soldiers.

At that time, Chen Ze was still in the province of Nantes, and he had already sent someone back to ask for reinforcements. It is conceivable that the soldiers in the province of Nantes were in danger at that time.

So when another 100,000 troops were dispatched, Hua Lao would naturally plan ahead, and then go to gather troops.

In his capacity, there was no problem with this, but it was only limited to the small city of Xiyun City.

Xiyun City is located in a remote place, so it is rare for people to attract attention, and Hua Lao is also careful. He has always recruited troops from abroad with a base of 100,000, and once the 100,000 is reached, he will be transferred directly.

The previous batch was transferred to Chen Ze, and later when Guo Zi left, he raised another 100,000 troops, but they were directly placed in the small town attached to Xiyun City.

As a result, Xiyun City has always been in a state of empty troops, and he can raise another 100,000.

You must know that Xiyun City, as a remote small city, has a maximum number of troops of 100,000.

Hua Lao raised troops in such a state of ants moving, on the one hand, he did not violate the imperial decree and did not let Xiyun City's troops exceed the limit, on the other hand, he was able to minimize the noise he made.

At that time, most of the eyes were on the province of Nantes. It was really not easy for him to do some petty theft in the province of Anluo. In addition, even if he was discovered, with his speed of conscription, if he wanted to It will take a long time to quickly raise a force with huge combat effectiveness, so even if you want to restrict Hua Lao, you don't have to rush for a while.

But he became the lord of Bo'an City.

As the main city of Anluo Province, Bo'an City's geographical location is so important, so naturally, the troops allowed to be stationed are dozens of times more than Xiyun City!

Generally speaking, Bo'an City can accumulate one million troops, and in times of emergency, this number can even rise to one and a half million!

Who dares to give Qingyang Zhijiang 1.5 million troops?

The inappropriateness that Mr. Hua felt first came from here.

When he returned to Bo'an City, it is reasonable to say that Bo'an City is so big that it is easier to recruit troops than Xiyun City. Although Zheng Yuanyun has already taken away most of the troops stationed in Anluo Province, Hua Lao's name, He didn't need to just recruit troops from An Luo province at all.

He stood up and said a word, a lot of old ministries would rejoin him from all directions!

On this point, Hua Lao still has confidence.

In fact, when he was in Xiyun City, he used this to raise troops from the surrounding provinces.

It can't be said that this trick failed in Bo'an City, right?

As a result, he has been back in Bo'an City for so long, but he has really raised very few troops. It has been more than half a month, and even 100,000 people have not yet arrived.

Is it possible?

If it is said that no one is behind the scenes, Mr. Hua will not believe what he says.

So he knew very well that if he stayed in the light again, it would not be good for him or Chen Ze. The only way now is to turn back into the dark and let Chen Ze jump on the stage and accept the situation in case of danger. people's attention.

Don't say that Chen Ze's portion is not enough!

After coming back from the Nantes province, although Chen Ze didn't go to the military plane to hand over his military exploits, but as long as he goes, he will definitely get a lot of rewards!

And the prestige of winning the four main cities of Nantes Province is now gradually spreading in Bo'an City and even Qingfeng City.

Chen Zezao is not the little counselor back then, but the well-known hero of Nantes!

Furthermore, it is said that Chen Ze's weight is not enough, but beside Chen Ze, isn't there a Luo Zongbing?

Is a commander in chief enough?

In particular, this general soldier is from Qingfeng City, at the foot of the emperor!

With General Luo here, even if there is any deficiency in Chen Ze's weight, he has already made up for it. No one dares to underestimate this low-level general who is just a co-leader.

So Mr. Hua asked Chen Ze to investigate the spies in the city lord's mansion, but he himself was transferred to a dark place because of this, and what he did was the same thing.

Chen Ze was investigating with great fanfare on the surface, but he was also conducting the same investigation in secret, and the two sides did not meet or exchange information.

The advantage of doing this is that Chen Ze checked his, and Hua Lao also checked his own. If one of the two parties has missed something, the other may have been able to find out.

If information is exchanged, thinking will inevitably be influenced by the other party, thus self-limiting the direction of inference.

Therefore, Mr. Jing was the candidate Hua Lao sent out to investigate secretly.

Mr. Jing went to the martial arts training ground, and secretly guessed the other party's purpose of doing this through Chen Ze's performance, so he kept his face, but acquiesced in Chen Ze's nonsense, and in the dark, he already let go of the scouts on hand. Get out and start finding the strange in your own way.

So both parties actually discovered the five people who were about to leave the City Lord's Mansion, and the subordinates of both sides also watched the five people leave the City Lord's Mansion.

It's a pity that what Gu Qingfeng and the others didn't discover, the people on Mr. Jing's side also didn't discover, so that the information obtained by the two parties was exactly the same when there was no exchange of information.
