The Era of Generals

Chapter 613 Kidnapping is better

The reason for Chen Ming's hesitation, Chen Ze is very clear.

Yes, Cheng Hong lied to everyone.

The army of the Bailie Empire in his hands was not a cooperation negotiated with the Qingyang Empire, but he attracted it without authorization.

In order to block the news, he took over all of Tel City and replaced it with his own Bailie Empire soldiers to guard it.

Under such circumstances, the news of Nantes Province at this moment is blocked. On the side of Qingyang Empire, only a general named Cheng Hong is guarding the four main cities, but they don't know that Nantes Province has been ruled by A large number of soldiers of the Bailie Empire took over, and the army of the Qingyang Empire only accounted for one-third of its number.

And the army of Qingyang, who was in the territory of Nantes Province, also didn't know that this was not an order from the empire, and thought that the empire had really reached an agreement with the Bailie Empire, so that each could take what they needed and unite vertically and horizontally.

Therefore, even if He Meng has deep-rooted hatred for the Bailie Empire, after learning that this cooperation is an order from the higher-ups, he has no choice but to obey the order.

And is Chen Ze's mission legal this time?

In fact, it is illegal.

Hua Lao's cooperation with the Bailie Empire this time may sound like cooperation, but it is actually a felony of treason.

It was precisely because of his relationship that Cheng Hong was able to switch defenses with Luo Zongbing smoothly, and handed over his hands to give the Bailie Empire a good situation.

For this alone, Hua Lao's guilt is extremely heavy.

Therefore, Chen Ze couldn't tell He Meng clearly that Cheng Hong was actually not from the Qingyang Empire, but a spy sent by the Bailie Empire.

Because of this, it is inevitable to mention the whole incident, and Hualao's collusion with the enemy cannot be concealed.

In this way, what kind of reaction will He Meng make?

It's true that he hated the Bailie Empire, but wouldn't he hate Hua Lao who was collaborating with the Bailie Empire?

Another point, when Chen Ze went to He Meng, his purpose was naturally to open a breakthrough from him, so that he could go to Juhe City to meet Ouyang Lixing.

This purpose cannot be concealed.

As long as he said it, no matter how stupid He Meng was, he could still think of it.

But who is Ouyang Lixing?

That is the general of the Zhu Yan Empire!

As a member of the Qingyang Empire, Chen Ze wants to enter Juhe City to meet Ouyang Lixing?

This itself is very suspicious.

At most, He Meng had drinking friendships with Meng Yang and others, so it was difficult to guarantee his position.

Chen Ze went to contact Ouyang Lixing, that is to say, he wanted to help Ouyang Lixing regardless of Qingyang Empire's plan to seize Nantes province.

This is detrimental to the interests of the empire.

What's more, He Meng wouldn't believe that a commander-in-chief is actually a spy from another country just because of Chen Ze's words. Before the matter was found out, Chen Ze asked him to help him sneak into Juhe City?

So what would He Meng think?

This is a problem.

It was also the reason why Chen Ming suddenly had an idea after seeing He Meng, and then he began to hesitate, and he didn't tell Chen Ze immediately.

Chen Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, Anyway, He Meng is also an option for us right now, or, let's see if there are other Qingyang generals that we can be sure of?

While saying this, one face after another began to appear in his own mind.

But to be honest, not really.

The person they were most familiar with before was Yang Mingzhong. This person also created the current situation in Nantes Province after he believed Chen Ze's suggestion. Later, Zheng Yuanyun strictly prohibited sending reinforcements to Xifeng City. His troops were handed over to Mr. Luo.

In terms of trust, Yang Mingzhong was more trusted by Chen Ze.

It's just a pity that Yang Mingzhong is no longer in Nantes province.

After offending Zheng Yuanyun, General Luo tried his best to protect him, and was sent back by General Luo later. He is not here now.

As for the others.

It was only then that Chen Ze discovered that many of the generals who had interacted with them at the beginning were actually sent back by Cheng Hong long ago, and most of the generals who stayed here, who came on the expedition with them, were just fooled like this middle and low-level generals.

Keeping these people is because Cheng Hong really needs manpower to manage the nearly one million troops of the Qingyang Empire itself, and because these people's ranks are very low, not to mention their limited vision and knowledge, and it is impossible to get in touch with the army Some key decisions at the top.

To put it bluntly, it's a fool.

For a general like He Meng, he would naturally do what his superiors said, without any possibility of rebuttal.

But Chen Ming also mentioned to Chen Ze that although He Meng and his like were left in Nantes Province to be under the command of Cheng Hong, it is obvious that they were not reused by Cheng Hong, but were only placed in the iron office. The outermost edge of the barrel array.

That is to say, even if there is a problem with He Meng, the blockade inside can guarantee a certain strength, and no one will be easily let in.

Most of the other generals of the Qingyang Empire were also in the same situation as He Meng.

Relatively speaking, because I don't know the details of other people, and I don't know if there are any spies that Cheng Hong deliberately put in among these people, so I don't dare to contact them casually.

There is only one He Meng, which can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Chen Ming took the order and left.

When he met He Meng, he had deliberately noted down the barracks where the other party was located, and he was familiar with the road when he went again this time.

It wasn't long after he left, Chen Ze thought for a while, then used the system to stop Chen Ming, and then sent Gu Qingfeng and others to form a six-member team.

Chen Ming was in charge of leading the way, while Gu Qingfeng and the other five got Chen Ze's instruction. The purpose of following this time was to tie He Meng to...

That's right, just tie it up.

Let Chen Ming find He Meng alone, how risky is it?

It's fine for He Meng to think that Chen Ming is lying to him, but what if he turned around and ran to Cheng Hong to make an informant?

It's not impossible.

It is true that He Meng hates the Bailie Empire, but who can prove that the person who betrayed him is not Chen Ze?

Who can prove that Chen Ze is using He Meng's hatred for the Bailie Empire to make trouble?

No one can guarantee.

So He Meng has every reason to doubt Chen Ming's motives, and also has every reason to report to Zheng Yuanyun.

Then, there are variables in this matter.

If there are variables, it is not safe. Of course, Chen Ze can always look at Chen Ming, and choose to use the star to save him when he is in danger, but in this way, Cheng Hong has a clearer understanding of Chen Ze's location.

Afterwards, it will be even more difficult for them to sneak into Juhe City.

It would be better to tie He Meng directly.

Although it would be suspicious to lose a general in the army for no reason, as long as Chen Ze and the others act quickly enough, the disappearance of He Meng, a middle and low-level general, should not attract much attention.

It's better than letting He Meng report.
