The Era of Generals

Chapter 769 - Cultivation

"I see."

Chen Ze thought for a while, and combined with the scattered bandits he met on the road before, he believed that Mo He had not lied to him.

This actually solved one of Chen Ze's doubts.

When Chen Ming reported to him that there was a group of rogues stationed on the main road, he felt very strange.

Then there is a very reluctant explanation, that is, these people rely on their strength and are ready to attack other bandit forces and snatch money from them.

But how can this make sense?

Don't snatch a good fat sheep, why do you want to cut the oil on the chicken feet?

How much is that?

Unless this team has a good relationship with the team that robbed the three border cities, after helping them break up.

However, under the current situation, this is something that Chen Ze is very unwilling to believe.

People's hearts are separated by belly!

What's more, there are still two forces with separate systems, how can it be possible to be intimate?

But at that time, there was no better basis for Chen Ze to make other speculations, so he followed this idea for the time being.

But now that Mo He's words came out, Chen Ze suddenly realized the reason why there would be a large number of ambushes here.

And this explanation is far more reasonable and convincing than what he thought before.

"So what's your current situation?"

Chen Ze thought about it again, and thought that there was no need for Mo He to deceive him on this point.

After all, whether it is true or not, he only needs to lead the army to go there, and it will be clear at a glance.

Anyway, Chen Ze's military strength is at an advantage now.

General Huang's side only has 20,000 troops, but on his side, the 5,000 soldiers in Dongping City plus the bandits in Huangliang can overwhelm the opponent.

Although the bandits here are also not strong, the leader of the team is Chen Ze!

As long as he attaches Meng Yang and the others with general stars, the bonus brought by general skills alone is enough to beat the opponent to the point where he can't take care of himself.

When the time comes to catch and ask, everything will naturally become clear.

It seems that Mo He is not a person who does not know the importance, and he will never deceive him on this point.

So he asked further.

"The current situation is that after General Huang deployed here, he did intercept three bandit forces passing through here."

Mo He hurriedly replied: "One of them has more than 5,000 people, and the other two have more than 8,000 people. Except for a small number of people who escaped, the others died in battle, about one More than 15,000 people were captured by General Huang and escorted to a later location for strict surveillance."

"Fifteen thousand?"

Chen Ze nodded. This amount did not exceed his expectations, and what was even more ridiculous was that these bandit forces were really not afraid of death for money.

Regardless of how many troops you have on hand, you just want to catch the fat sheep with all your heart. It's not a matter of whether you can beat them or not. In short, you must catch up with the talents first.

If it weren't for this greed, they wouldn't have been caught by General Huang, and they would have been sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

"Is there enough of his own?"

After thinking about it, he asked one more question.

Mo He also nodded and said, "Enough."

"General Huang himself has 3,000 elite soldiers, who have been following him all the time. This time, he has deployed all of his elite soldiers to the rear. With these 3,000 elite soldiers, even though he is guarding bandits five times his size, it is more than enough. "

That's what Chen Ze asked.

This General Huang himself only has 20,000 troops, and it is impossible to take them all away. Anyway, he has to leave some for that General Li, otherwise if the other party can't see the 2,000 prisoners, once the time comes, they will be held accountable. He can't get away with it either.

Besides, the 15,000 new captives he captured also needed to be guarded, otherwise they were captured for nothing?

"So, in fact, there are no 20,000 troops in front?"

Chen Ze raised his head and glanced ahead. At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, but at a glance, it was still dark.

"No, there are still."

As a result, Mo He shook his head again and said, "Actually, General Huang's side now has almost 25,000 troops."

"In addition to the ones he brought from Mohe Province, we have been hiding in a small city called Tianhong in Fengqi Province during this period of time. The 20,000 troops in this city were also taken by General Huang for his own use. It's pretty much domesticated now."

Chen Ze didn't speak.

Here's another little test for the Mo River.

Of course he knew how many troops General Huang had in front.

Chen Ming visited before, and Tang Tianxing visited again later.

And if General Huang wants to leave some troops for General Li to take care of the hostages, and he needs to send people to take care of them after he catches the captives. .

In this way, if it is said that General Huang's troops are less than 20,000, then Mo He is lying.

But Mo He's answer still couldn't make Chen Ze suspicious of him.

"So, those hostages are now in Tianhong City?"

Chen Ze asked again calmly.

"Not here."

Mo He replied: "Just in case, General Li took all the hostages out of the city, and they are now in a small town next to Tianhong City."

Chen Ze knew it in his heart.

Mo He's answer was no different from the information sent by Hua Lao's people.

Hua Lao had someone secretly observing the movement of the hostage-keeping force, and it had already been found out that they did not settle in Tianhong City, but were safely hidden in the nearby town.

"very good."

Chen Ze nodded and looked at Mo Hedao: "Since Brother Meng promised you just now that as long as you answer truthfully, your life will not be taken, then what Brother Meng said is equivalent to what I said."

"You go down first, I'll find you if you have any questions."

He waved his hand and gestured to Meng Yang.

If there is a problem, I will come to you again, but this has two meanings.

One is the literal meaning, while the other is an implied threat.

How could Mo He not hear it?

But he was also calm, and only bowed his hands to Chen Ze, and said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Chen for not killing me."

It seemed certain that Chen Ze would not kill him again.

After Meng Yang took him down, Chen Ze lowered his head and thought for a while before looking at Tang Tianxing and his son, especially focusing on Tang Feng's face.

He asked with a smile, "What do you think?"

"I?"

Tang Feng was startled, but he didn't expect Chen Ze to ask himself directly.

He actually listened to the conversation between the two on the spot, but if he really wanted to say something...

"Let's talk and listen."

Chen Ze glanced at Tang Tianxing and said, "Based on our current situation, what do you think should be done next?"

Of course he could see that after this trip, Tang Tianxing was very interested in cultivating his son, and this was also in line with Chen Ze's wishes, so before making a decision, he didn't mind spending a little time to let Tang Feng play his best.
