The Era of Generals

Chapter 776   Bound in a Cocoon

"Zhang Li?"

Chen Ze went through his mind and searched for Zhang Li's information.

I have seen it.

When he was in Dongping City, Zhang Li was the leader responsible for guarding the prisoners in Dongping City.

At that time, Huang Liang had issued an order to evacuate all Dongping City, so that night, the bandits went crazy and looted property in Dongping City.

But at that time, Huang Liang still had a bottom line and knew what Chen Ze valued most, so even though the city was already in chaos, Zhang Li's troops far away near the barracks did not hear any news, so they stared blankly. Missed the best chance to snatch.

In fact, because of this incident later, the bandits who robbed the property and those who did not robbed the property also had trouble because of it.

Even so, Zhang Li never complained about Huang Liang.

And from the fact that Huang Liang assigned Zhang Li to guard the most important barracks, it can also be seen that he has absolute trust in Zhang Li.

"My lord, what do you need Zhang Li to do, just ask!"

With Chen Ze's guarantee, Huang Liang became full of confidence again, which made Chen Ze sneer.

Yes, maybe that Zhang Li really regards you as a good brother, but you may not.

You are just using the opponent as a gun.

The so-called dead friends don't die poor people, if Huang Liang hears that he doesn't need to go there himself, how can he care if the person who goes there is Zhang Li, and will he be in danger?

His chest-thumping promise was only because he didn't have to face the danger himself.

So people are selfish, and it still applies to Huang Liang.

"It's nothing. I just need Zhang Li to control his subordinates well. As for the leader, I have my own arrangements."

Chen Ze responded lightly.

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Huang Liang responded repeatedly, smiling all over his face: "Our brothers' ability is naturally inferior to the elite soldiers in Mr. Chen's hands. If we can cooperate well, we will be satisfied."

Ignoring Huang Liang's flattery, Chen Ze said again: "In addition to Zhang Li, I also want you to select 20,000 people who will not betray."

Then, Chen Ze didn't hide anything, and told Huang Liang exactly what his plan was.

This matter needs to be concealed from the subordinates, but several major high-level officials definitely need the truth.

So this is also the difficulty of this plan.

"Good plan!"

After hearing Chen Ze's plan, Huang Liang slapped his thigh fiercely, his eyes lit up and said, "I never thought Master Chen would find a breakthrough so quickly."

"Those damn bastards of the Bailie Empire even snatched up our Tianhong City secretly, so they must fight back!"

Naturally, Chen Ze would not tell him that the purpose of this trip was to rescue the hostages arrested for five years for the Qingyang Empire, so he just said that the Bailie Empire captured Tianhong City, and Tianhong City played a pivotal role in General Ouyang's overall plan , must call back.

How could Huang Liang have any doubts, as long as Chen Ze didn't ask him to lead the team to go shopping in person, he didn't care what he had, as long as he could help him make achievements, that would be good.

So it was another flattery.

Immediately seeing Chen Ze looking at him calmly, he suddenly realized that what Chen Ze wanted was an answer, not a mani.

Smiling embarrassingly, Huang Liang was also thinking hard in his heart.

After a while Fang said: "My lord, 20,000 people are no problem, just Zhang Li's subordinates will do!"

He continued: "When Zhang Li defected at the beginning, he had some cronies on hand. Later, he continued to develop and grow, and gathered a lot of stragglers. Those who had fought with him before had a good relationship."

"After that, he and I merged into one place and occupied a nice mountain."

After saying this, Chen Ze understood.

I'm afraid this guy wants to use this mission to eradicate dissidents?

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

It was fine for the two to merge for whatever reason before, but later Zhang Li's power grew day by day, and Huang Liang probably saw it and was anxious in his heart.

Everything is driven by interests.

Huang Liang must be afraid that Zhang Li's status will be threatened if he grows up day by day, so although he looks like a brother on the surface, in reality, even in his dreams, he wants to kill him.

So isn't now a great opportunity?

To be able to agree to Chen Ze's allocation of manpower, and to be able to deal with Zhang Li!

But how could Chen Ze be used as a spear by Huang Liang?

He looked at Huang Liang, and kept looking at the other person's heart, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassing from the previous self-confidence.

"grown ups?"

Some unsteady Huang Liang cautiously opened his mouth to test.

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

Chen Ze asked coldly.

"this……"

Huang Liang felt the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and said with great discomfort on his face: "My lord, what did you say? You, Mr. Chen, are the special envoy appointed by General Ouyang. How could you be... a fool?"

"Is it?"

Chen Ze sneered, "But why do I feel that you are treating me like a fool?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"What's the matter?"

Huang Liang waved his hands hastily, almost swearing on the spot.

"very good."

Chen Ze nodded and said, "Then I'll give you another chance, think about it, where should the 20,000 people come from?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Liang fell silent.

After a while, he smiled wryly and said: "Who dares to say that Mr. Chen is a fool, I, Lao Huang, will be the first to find him desperately!"

He raised his head with fear in his eyes, and said after wiping off his cold sweat, "That's right, I do have that kind of thought in my heart, but..."

Huang Liang gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "Old Zhang is indeed a very good candidate, but when it comes to manpower..."

He took a deep breath and said, "He and I both have trusted aides. We can get together and each contribute 10,000 people. I, Lao Huang, can guarantee with my life that the 20,000 people selected this time will surely reach Chen's Your request, my lord!"

When he said this, his expression was extremely painful. It is conceivable that the 10,000 people he needs to pay are very important to him.

And at this time, it would be bad for him not to participate in this mission.

He is guaranteeing it with his life.

In case something happens to the front line...

So how would Chen Ze deal with him?

Huang Liang is not well.

I thought this was an opportunity to greatly weaken Zhang Li's strength secretly, but I didn't expect that I would be trapped in a cocoon, and instead trapped myself in it.

At this moment, his only hope is... Zhang Li can give some strength, otherwise his life will be lost.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Chen Ze looked at him like that, and said with a smile: "This matter is actually not very dangerous, you just need to follow my request."
