The Era of Generals

Chapter 726 - Filled

Man found!

Even Chen Ze didn't expect that Chen Ming's movements were so fast.

Only one day has passed, and Chen Ming has gained a lot.

It was half a month ago that those bandits attacked the three border cities. Why did Chen Ming discover their traces only one day later?

"Young master!"

Chen Ming said in a heavy tone: "I am currently in Dongning City, which is more than 120 miles away from Dongping City. The situation in this city..."

Chen Ze glanced at the map. In one day and one night, Chen Ming ran with all his strength, and indeed he ran for more than 120 miles. The place he is now, judging from the map of Fengqi Province, is exactly It is Dongning City.

"He was slaughtered too?"

Chen Ze already guessed.

"These bastards, what a cruel hand!"

Chen Ming gritted his teeth over there and said, "Dongning City was not only robbed of property, but even the city was burned down!"

"My subordinates found a few civilians who were lucky enough to escape. According to them, it was those rogues who broke into Dongning City and set fire to it!"

I see.

Chen Ze nodded, but this meant that he had found it.

Chen Ming didn't really meet the rogues, but confirmed the existence of these people and traced their movements.

this is a good news.

At least one thing can be proved, Chen Ze's guess is correct, these rogues did not dare to go to Nantes province, but wandered around in Fengqi province, taking advantage of this crisis, wanting to make a fortune for the country.

They robbed the three border cities, but they were not satisfied, and they robbed Dongning City. They were really fearless to the extreme.

"So, what about the trace?"

Chen Ze didn't care much about how bold these rogues were, but he was more concerned about their whereabouts.

"The traces are still there, consistent with what Young Master guessed, they are still going to where we are going!"

Chen Ming's response was quick, and it could be heard that he was responding to Chen Ze in the process of rushing on the road, and his speech seemed intermittent.

These guys!

Chen Ze's eyebrows were fixed, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Are you still going there?

This is a bit intriguing.

Just over 30,000 people...

He closed his eyes and carefully simulated the scene, and the team of more than 30,000 people was outlined in his mind.

These rogues first robbed the three border cities, and then slaughtered Dongning City.

If it is said that when they robbed the three border cities, they had been guarding against Huangliang, so they were not very aggressive and did not have enough fun in the robbery...

Then, after robbing another Dongning city, these rogues can be said to have made a lot of money. In terms of their number, their current burden should be full.

load!

That is to say, almost everyone of them is carrying gold, silver and jewels from the robbery at this moment.

These things are not food, they can be consumed while walking, so they should have reached the limit of their belongings by now.

So why keep going?

Escape from the iron cavalry of the Bailie Empire?

No, it's not like that.

With Dongping City as the center, it is actually a safe zone near the border in the direction of Nantes Province.

The center of gravity of the Bailie Empire is not here, and Cheng Hong has no time to take care of it. Near Dongping City, the only threat to the rogues is Huang Liang.

Taking advantage of Huang Liang's unpreparedness, they came up with a trick to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. One can imagine Huang Liang's anger.

But it's just Huang Liang's words, so what?

They also have more than 30,000 people, and they really can't beat Huangliang's 50,000 troops, but Huangliang is in Dongping City.

And they can also choose a city to stick to, or go up the mountain and occupy a mountain.

In this way, will Huang Liang fight or not?

In this troubled world, everyone came out to ask for money, so could it be that they really had a fight?

Thirty thousand against fifty thousand, no matter how strong Huangliang is, it is impossible for Huang Liang to take down these thirty thousand without spending a single soldier, so even if he wins, it will only be a miserable victory.

In this way, the bandits were gone, but Huang Liang's strength was also gone.

In the current situation, if you don't have strength, you can only let others slaughter you. Huang Liang understands this truth, and so does the bandit leader.

The best example is the four border cities.

Even the imperial city, after losing its absolute strength, was beaten up by a group of bandits and couldn't take care of itself?

So after looting a large amount of property, the bandits don't need to run forward at all, they only need to find a mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and keep the looted property properly.

With the supplies of the four cities on hand, it is not a problem to spend three to five years on that mountain.

By then the situation had long since stabilized.

Regardless of whether the Bailie Empire succeeded in taking down the Fengqi Province or the Zhuyan Empire turned against the wind, this day will continue anyway, and Fengqi Province cannot be erased from the mainland's territory, right?

At that time, they will take out the looted property again, and then they will no longer be bandits.

The big guy divided up the dirt on the spot, went to find a city by himself, and with the huge wealth on his body, changed his face and became a big business. There is no problem at all.

So why carry out your banditry career to the end?

So what are they working so hard for?

Chen Ze didn't think that the leader of the other party couldn't think of this.

This is a very simple truth, even easier than seeing the current situation in Fengqi Province clearly.

He can see where is safe and where is dangerous, so why can't he understand this truth?

Furthermore, when more than 30,000 people marched forward with a large amount of property, it was also full of dangers.

Who can guarantee that he and Huangliang are the only bandit forces running around the border now?

Once someone finds out on the road, the large amount of property will definitely arouse people's envy and heartbeat, and then they will start stealing it openly and secretly.

It's all possible.

That being the case, they still have to take risks to move forward.

That is to say, this bandit force has to move forward, or in other words, thinks that the front is safer, so it will move forward quickly when no one notices them.

Then, can it be considered that a certain place moving forward is the base camp they have arranged long ago?

In other words, the old nest?

Having snatched such a large amount of property, it is naturally safer to put it in his lair.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze gritted his teeth.

He has memorized the map of Fengqi Province by heart during these days.

If this team of rogues is still moving forward, then the next place that will be considered safe is exactly...

The location of the hostages!

It has to be said that the leader of the bandits has a good vision.

That location was used by the Bailie Empire to place hostages. It was precisely because of the sparse population and poor geographical location that it was difficult to attract the attention of Fengqi Province.

But isn't such a location just right for storing some shady things?
