The Era of Generals

Chapter 713   Bottom Line

If the six people were replaced by other generals, even a general like Hua Lao would not be able to fully control everything around them.

Even if these six people all have Tang Tianxing's ability, it's the same.

But Chen Ze can.

It's not that Chen Ze is stronger than Hua Lao, but that he has systematic help.

With the ability to light up a large area with these six people as the center, Chen Ze was able to maximize the role of these six people.

Under his nose, there is no blind spot, and it is impossible for anyone to hide in any form within his visual range.

It is precisely because of this advantage that Gu Qingfeng and the other five, including Chen Ming, are not low in strength now, and if there is an emergency, Chen Ze can even directly possess the general.

With these trump cards, the area that Chen Ming and the six can control is really not small.

With them on the periphery, Chen Ze can guarantee one thing, that is, within a certain range, he is confident that his whereabouts will not be discovered, even if he leads a huge army.

After ordering Chen Ming and the six of them, a lot of time has passed.

And Huang Liang, who ran to gather his troops, seemed to be acting resolutely as well.

Even in the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Ze could still hear the commotion on the street outside.

This is an extremely unusual event in Dongping City, which has already entered the middle of the night.

You know, those bandits who act as soldiers can sleep peacefully while defending the city.

But at this moment, Huang Liang forcibly pulled him out of his sleep. Amidst the commotion outside, Chen Ze could even hear shouts and curses.

Facing the orders of his immediate superiors, he even dared to open his mouth and curse.

This is simply unimaginable in the regular army.

Of course, the person who scolded was Huang Liang anyway, and had nothing to do with Chen Ze, so Chen Ze naturally treated it as a joke.

Not long after the commotion started, Huang Liang, who ran out in a hurry, came back in a hurry.

And when he saw that Chen Ze was still staying in the meeting hall in the City Lord's Mansion and had not left, he was deeply relieved.

It could be seen that Huang Liang really wanted to seize this opportunity.

At this moment, anyone could see the urgency in Huang Liang's heart.

Seeing him coming in, Chen Ze first glanced behind him, and what he saw was Tang Tianxing shaking his head slightly at him.

I knew that this guy was really just arranging his own orders, and he didn't make any small moves.

"So fast?"

Chen Ze asked knowingly.

"It's... not bad."

Huang Liang, who rushed into the meeting hall, took a deep breath, and then responded: "According to Master Chen's order, the subordinates have already made arrangements. Please rest assured, sir, there will be no delay in time!"

While talking, he looked at Chen Ze eagerly, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Then can we now..."

He rushed back quickly, and this was the purpose of rushing back.

"That's natural, haven't I been waiting for you?"

Chen Ze laughed.

"My lord please!"

Only then did Huang Liang show his face and laugh, and hastily showed Chen Ze the way.

Naturally, Chen Ze had no problem here. He needed more than five thousand people, so he let Huang Liang lead the way, while himself, Meng Yang and others followed.

Dongping City is not big, so the prisons set up in the city will not be too big, at least there is nothing that can be done to imprison more than 5,000 people.

So after Huang Liang took down Dongping City, he was quite troubled by the more than 5,000 captives, and finally decided to detain them in the barracks west of Dongping City, and sent nearly 30,000 people to guard the outside of the barracks.

It's not that he is unaware of the loose discipline and strength of his subordinates, so he has no choice but to send nearly 30,000 people to guard in order to detain only 5,000 people.

Fortunately, it was precisely because Huang Liang attached great importance to the captives that so far, there has been no problem with the barracks.

A group of people left the city lord's mansion, Huang Liang sent someone to prepare the horses, and then they went all the way to the barracks.

Along the way, what Chen Ze saw was a scene of chaos in Dongping City.

When they learned that they were going to leave Dongping City tomorrow, these soldiers who were used to being bandits would not miss the opportunity. They got up, but they were not packing their luggage, but started to travel in Dongping City while there was still a little time. The big men in the city looted their property, making the civilians in the city scream and cry, wanting to cry but not crying.

"snort!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Ze's expression turned cold.

While galloping, he reined in the horse's head and glared at Huang Liang.

"this……"

Huang Liang didn't know what Chen Ze was losing his temper, so he could only scratch his head in embarrassment, and said, "Master Chen, these brothers are used to being loose, and the subordinates are not very easy to manage."

Chen Ze believed what he said was true.

If a bandit is willing to take you as the leader and work hard for you, it is natural that birds die for food and people die for wealth.

Who would listen to you if you saw wealth turning into water?

Therefore, although Huang Liang was very aware of Chen Ze's dissatisfaction, but for a while, he couldn't do anything about it.

You must know that the reason why Chen Ze made a promise to him was naturally not because of him, but because of the strength in his hands.

Once he can't control his subordinates and loses these troops in his hands, then what is he?

Will Chen Ze still use him again?

Huang Liang was well aware of this.

So even if he knew that the current situation would offend Chen Ze, Huang Liang didn't dare to move lightly.

The harm between the two powers is the lesser, and keeping his final bottom line is the foundation for him to live and work now.

Seeing Huang Liang's expression, Chen Ze probably guessed what he was worried about.

In fact, Chen Ze also didn't want Huang Liang to lose his military power because of this, and it would have a great impact on himself.

Ouyang Lixing's military token is a precious sword for all the generals in Fengqi Province at the moment.

Even the soldiers below will be ordered by Chen Ze because of the token.

But it happened to be these bandits.

Token?

No matter what token you have, there is no money to use!

And they don't have great ambitions, they just have a full meal.

Under such circumstances, without Huang Liang, it would be almost impossible for Chen Ze to bring these people together again.

Huang Liang was the only link between him and the fifty thousand troops.

"You pass on the order, you can steal money, but you must not hurt people's lives, and you must not commit crimes. If you violate it, you will be executed without mercy!"

Thinking about this, Chen Ze rolled his eyes and took a step back.

Although these civilians are from the Zhu Yan Empire, they are still human lives. Chen Ze's bottom line is that he should not hurt people, nor should he take the opportunity to do things that are harmful to nature and reason.
