The Era of Generals

Chapter 750   Old things

After telling Chen Ming to be more careful, Chen Ze turned his attention to the present.

He is not a dogmatic person, even though he has already speculated, he still wants to be more stable.

So he let the troops camp temporarily, and sent Meng Yang back to call Huang Liang.

It took an hour to come and go, and the sky was already completely dark.

Tong Tong went to Tang Tianxing, who was inquiring ahead, and he knew that the other party had not moved lightly, and was still sticking to the main intersection, and this made Chen Ze believe in the judgment in his heart.

These guys, are they determined not to let anyone pass by?

But it's also good that the other party didn't move, and they were outside the detection range of the other party. Chen Ze also strictly ordered his soldiers not to light bonfires or make loud noises. risks of.

Then, Meng Yang arrived with Huang Liang.

"Master Chen, are you looking for me?"

It's always nice to be needed, at least for Huang Liang now.

Facing the cheerful Huang Liang, Chen Ze was not in such a happy mood at the moment.

Seeing him coming, he immediately unfolded a map, pointed to a place and asked, "Where is this place?"

Huang Liang was slightly stunned, but seeing Chen Ze's serious face, his heart shuddered at the moment, and he hurriedly distinguished the map in Chen Ze's hand under the moonlight.

"Here...isn't there?"

Huang Liang took a closer look and was suddenly at a loss.

What Chen Ze was pointing at was exactly an important crossing they would pass through if they wanted to go further on this trip.

"I mean, where was this place before?"

Chen Ze snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Huang Liang's answer.

"Ah, this?"

Huang Liang's heart tightened, and he quickly looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly said: "I remembered, it turned out to be here!"

Rubbing his eyebrows and thinking carefully, he said again: "Master Chen, this place has been abandoned for a long time!"

"Earlier, um, about forty years ago, a large granary was originally built here!"

"granary?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ze immediately thought of the four cities on the border of Fengqi Province.

Immediately, I searched carefully on the map, and my heart suddenly became clear.

Yes, the situation here is actually similar to that of the four border cities back then!

Although it seems that there is only one city within the scope of Dongning City, it is still marked on the map in Chen Ze's hand.

Not far ahead, there used to be cities on both sides of the main crossing.

At that time, this place could actually be called the border line, and it was Dongning City and these two cities that were responsible for the defensive task.

At that time, the territory of Fengqi Province was not so large, but it gained a big advantage in a battle with Mohe Province. The supreme commander of Fengqi Province then expanded its territory to the outside world. After a while, the place where Chen Ze was now became the inland location of Fengqi Province.

While watching, he listened to the details of Huang Liang's memories, and the situation began to become clear.

It was precisely because of that battle that year that Mohe Province finally lost a large area of ​​territory. In the eyes of the Bailie Empire, which ranked first in the mainland, it was a great shame!

It is precisely because of this that Mohe Province has always regarded Fengqi Province as a deadly enemy, and it is extremely eager to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Of course, these old grievances had nothing to do with Chen Ze.

However, when looking at the occupied main road, Chen Ze's thoughts can continue to diverge, connecting the abandoned cities that were not noticed at first, but marked with only two small dots on the map.

In the past, these two cities existed as wingmen, and their purpose was to assist Dongning City in defending against attacks from Mohe Province.

Although due to geographical reasons, it is unlikely that Mohe Province will launch a large-scale war against Fengqi Province from the direction of Dongning City, so although the city of Dongning City is not as large as the main city, it is only for defense. , is still enough.

But later, Fengqi Province expanded, and the original border became inland today. These two cities themselves were not on the main road of communication, so they gradually lost their function, and the civilians in the two cities were inextricably linked with Dongning City. Due to the relationship with the building, personnel are also being lost in the direction of Dongning City.

Then the authorities simply moved all the civilians in these two cities into Dongning City, and then abandoned the two cities.

Regarding this history of moving the city, not to mention Chen Ze being an outsider, even Huang Liang thought about it, and finally recalled the general idea.

At the beginning, as the auxiliary city of the two wingmen, Dongning City was responsible for transporting its supplies.

At that time, in order to ensure the safety of transportation, the city lord of Dongning City did not give the enemy spies who sneaked into Fengqi Province a chance, so he built a granary at the main road connecting the two cities. On the surface, there was no difference, but In fact, supplies, etc. are transported to the two cities through tunnels dug in advance.

"Master Chen, why did you ask about this for no reason?"

It took a lot of eloquence before Huang Liang gave an overview of what happened back then, and at the end he asked quite curiously.

Chen Ze didn't answer his question, but asked back: "Then let me ask you, if I didn't mention this to you, and you were stationed in front with a large number of troops, what would you do first? "

Huang Liang was startled for a moment, then thought carefully: "If it was me... I should have blocked those abandoned tunnels in advance!"

"You can think of authenticity directly?"

Chen Ze frowned. Based on his understanding of Huang Liang, he didn't seem to be such a careful person.

"Master Chen doesn't know something."

Huang Liang thought for a while before saying: "If I change the place, maybe I wouldn't care too much, but there, a lot of things happened in the past few years."

"I think at the beginning, not long after the three cities of Dongning merged into one, I don't know who spread rumors outside, saying that there were still a lot of supplies stored in the granary tunnel, which attracted a lot of...cough cough, colleagues .”

As soon as Chen Ze said this, it became clear.

A large granary used as a front supply during the war, the supplies inside will really make some people envious, and there are people who deliberately spread the news at the beginning, one can imagine how many bandits will be attracted to this so-called treasure Jealousy and heartbeat.

It is estimated that many people died here because of this granary, so that until now, Huang Liang still has the impression in his heart.

But in fact, Huang Liang is in the midst of the situation.

Whether he was a general in the past or a bandit now, he has enough reasons to know this secret, so when Chen Ze asked, he would give such an answer.

And in the eyes of others?

In fact, who would pay attention to that period of old events if they didn't happen to be in their position?
