The Era of Generals

Chapter 777 Upright Zhang Li

I don't know if Chen Ze's consolation has any effect, but Huang Liang's complexion is still not very good-looking.

But is this worthy of sympathy?

If it wasn't for his own scheming, how could this happen?

Chen Ze waved his hand and asked Huang Liang to go to Tang Feng, and the two discussed the details again. As for Zhang Li, he wanted to meet him in person.

When he heard that Chen Ze was going to see Zhang Li, Huang Liang, whose expression had eased just now, suddenly became nervous again.

"Don't worry, I just want to complete the task assigned by General Ouyang, and I'm not interested in the intrigue between you."

What can Huang Liang do?

He could only smile wryly, cupped his hands at Chen Ze, and said, "Master Chen, please check clearly, I, Huang Liang, have no objection to General Ouyang's instructions, and will definitely cooperate well!"

Are you cooperating well?

Chen Ze sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said, "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you, but the premise is that you need to pay more attention in the future."

When he said this, Chen Ze's tone was very earnest, and this was the last time he reminded Huang Liang.

If there is a next time?

He doesn't mind replacing Huang Liang with Zhang Li.

Actually, what's the difference?

"yes!"

Huang Liang straightened his body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then bid farewell to Chen Ze.

Although he was unwilling, he dared not listen to Chen Ze's order at this moment, so he could only inform Zhang Li with trepidation, and then actively went to Tang Feng to discuss the details.

Not long after, Zhang Li who was flattered ran over.

"Master Chen, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Li is also a tall and thick guy, but compared to Huang Liang, he is a bit more simple and honest.

"What did you do that made you fall into the grass?"

However, Chen Ze's first sentence stunned Zhang Li.

"Is this... very important?"

He carefully looked at Chen Ze's face, and he couldn't understand why the other party would ask this question at such a time.

"You just have to answer."

Chen Ze replied indifferently: "It's better to tell the truth, because you don't have to ask you about this matter."

Zhang Li was taken aback for a moment, and said, "That's natural!"

"Returning to Mr. Chen, the villain was a school lieutenant in Fengqi Province before. He went out with the army once, but when the soldiers approached the city, our commander, General Ji, he..."

Speaking of this, his face turned serious, and he said with hatred: "That guy, he doesn't take our brother's life as his life at all. When he got to the bottom of the city, he directly ordered to attack the city, ignoring the plan that the other party had made long ago. and traps."

"To be honest, all of us soldiers live with our heads pinned to our trouser belts. The general has an order. Even if we know we are going to die, we must do so without hesitation!"

"As a general, shouldn't you also be considerate of your soldiers?"

"It's true that they are not human beings, knowing that there is a trap ahead and let us jump!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Li found that his emotions were getting more and more agitated, and he took a deep breath at the moment, and after trying to stabilize, he said again: "The villain refused to accept it, and argued with that general on the spot, but he didn't I can’t change his mind, not only that, he also wants to kill me before the battle on the grounds of disobedience to the military order!”

Kill the generals before the battle?

Chen Ze shook his head slightly.

If what Zhang Li said was true, then the General Ji he said was really a useless mediocrity.

And although Chen Ze didn't understand the situation at that time, if necessary, to be honest... he would also make the choice of General Ji.

There is no way to use human life to fill it, but if the strategy requires it, or if it is not done, there will be greater losses, then Chen Ze will not hesitate to make a death squad.

But this choice can be described as a double-edged sword.

While achieving one's own goals, it will also greatly damage the morale of the army.

What's more, some generals still stood up to express their opposition.

At that time, Zhang Li represented the position of the soldiers, and he was fighting for the lives of the soldiers.

It is conceivable that when General Ji issued the order to kill the general before the battle, how much conflict would this arouse?

At that time, what kind of military aircraft badge, what kind of supreme commander, is nothing to the soldiers. In their eyes, Zhang Li, who pleaded for their lives, should be the supreme commander here!

That General Ji didn't handle the matter well, so his end could be foreseen.

"You, killed the general of that season?"

Chen Ze asked.

Zhang Li was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, and said: "I didn't want to do this at first, but a few brothers who I knew well couldn't bear my death on the spot, so... they acted impromptu and killed General Ji."

"So you didn't move your hand?"

Chen Ze raised his brows, and asked another question: "Then you should explain it to General Ouyang later, and your guilt should not be serious."

"No!"

Zhang Li excitedly said: "Those brothers rebelled because of me, how can I make them unrighteous!"

"This incident was originally caused by me. If you want to talk about guilt, it is naturally that I am more responsible. There is absolutely no reason to let others take the blame."

Chen Ze nodded, and said, "So later on, you simply became a bandit, and you actually wanted to bring your brothers to live?"

Zhang Li smiled wryly and said: "As Master Chen said, the brothers saved me regardless of their lives. Naturally, I can't escape alone. Since the crime of murder has already been committed, it is of course impossible to go back to the past. The brothers fell into the grass and turned into bandits, at least they can survive."

Chen Ze understood the words and this point.

If Zhang Li is telling the truth, then it can be seen that this is a man who values ​​affection. Like this kind of person, no matter whether he is in the army or in the bandit den, it will not take long for him to gather a force around him. It's no wonder why Huang Liang and Zhang Li are brothers and sisters on the surface, but secretly they are afraid of it.

In fact, when Zhang Li answered his question, Chen Ze had been observing the other's every word and deed. He was almost sure that this person was not lying.

Compared with Huang Liang, who has a lot of eyes, Zhang Li is much more upright. It is estimated that until now he does not know that Huang Liang is good with his brothers, but he is secretly thinking about weakening his strength.

"I see."

Thinking about this, Chen Ze nodded and said: "I will report this matter to General Ouyang. When the danger of Fengqi province is lifted in the future, you should bring your brother back to your hometown and still be your schoolmaster." Captain."

"No, maybe no longer the captain."

Zhang Li was stunned, but also nodded clearly: "Yes, I have always been guilty. I am satisfied to go back to my hometown and see my wife and children. How can I expect the official to be reinstated?"

"No."

But Chen Ze shook his head again, and said, "What I mean is, if you can make great achievements during this period of time, maybe you can be rewarded for your merits, so that your military rank can be raised further."
