The Era of Generals

Chapter 803 - The Truth

"good!"

Yan Xukai looked at Chen Ze, "I haven't seen you before, you are not one of us, right?"

"right."

Chen Ze nodded, "When your accident happened, I was still young, so I didn't participate in the original battle."

"I didn't participate, but I just heard them talk about it. It's not bad that you can guess to this extent."

Yan Xukai bowed slightly towards Chen Ze, and it was obvious that he still had a sense of awe towards Chen Ze.

"What is going on, can you explain clearly?"

Guo Zi was angry and anxious when he heard it, and couldn't help but wanted to go up and punch him again. He raised his fist halfway, but he retracted it himself, leaving only a sigh.

"What happened to you in the past five years?"

Faced with this question, Yan Xukai didn't answer, but looked at Chen Ze, and asked with a smile: "With Mr. Chen's wisdom, maybe one or two of them can be guessed?"

Chen Ze thought for a while and said, "I think the problem lies with Yan Haomiao, right?"

"Back then, Yan Haomiao was ungrateful, shouldering Hua Lao's life-saving grace, and forcibly shady Hua Lao, and captured more than two thousand of your brothers to the Bailie Empire, and since then they have been imprisoned in Mohe Province. "

"But Yan Haomiao still has a sense of guilt towards Mr. Hua, so when he heard the news of Mr. Hua's retirement, he didn't treat you too much out of guilt or for other reasons. mean, even..."

He looked at Yan Xukai, and said in a deep voice: "In order to make you less resistant to him, he should have selected a leader among you, and let you manage your own people."

"As long as you don't think about running away, I think your life in Mohe province will be pretty good in the next few years."

Speaking of this, Guo Zi opened his mouth a few times, wanting to intervene, but dared not.

Instead, Chen Ze looked at him and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"No, didn't old man Hua tell us before that he sent scouts to Mohe Province to inquire about these guys, but what he got back was that they had a hard time in Mohe Province, and even in order to reduce their combat power , don’t you even give me a full meal?”

Guo Zi asked urgently, when Elder Hua explained everything to Chen Ze, Chen Ze naturally relayed it to them when he came back, so Guo Zi also knew about this.

"It's just an illusion, or rather, a disguise."

Chen Zeying said: "Yan Haomiao is an old treacherous and cunning person. He knows that this matter has caused problems for Hua Lao, but his position must also prevent Hua Lao from turning around and uniting with the Zhu Yan Empire to deal with Mohe Province. Therefore, He must make Mr. Hua feel scruples about him."

"This scruple, that is, the best pawn in his hand is the more than two thousand captives he snatched from Mr. Hua."

He looked at Guo Zi again, shook his head and said, "You have to know that after that battle, the brothers of your Xuanjia Empire died, those who were arrested were arrested, and those who survived were also because of their disappointment with Mr. Hua. , from now on in the Bo'an barracks fooling around."

"At that time, how could Mr. Hua persuade your people to go to Mohe Province to inquire about news?"

"What's more, he also knows you very well. He knows that if the situation he inquired about in the past is very bad, maybe you will not be able to suppress your temper and do some stupid things. Not only will you not be able to save your brother, but you will also get yourself into it. .”

"So he can only appoint candidates from among his other disciples."

"But you also know that after you surrendered to Hua Lao, you felt that you were foreigners, so you didn't deal with other people in the Qingyang Empire. Not too familiar."

Guo Zi was stunned, and could only nod his head.

This is exactly the case.

Except for a few who made good friends with them back then, the group of them who belonged to the original Xuanjia Empire did not live well in the Qingyang Empire, and they were basically by themselves.

This is also the reason why Meng Yang Guozi and others have a good relationship.

Because they don't have a sense of belonging, and they don't agree that they are from the Qingyang Empire, but they are just ordered by Hua Lao.

"Then this is a flaw."

Chen Ze sighed: "With Yan Haomiao's shrewdness, it may not be unexpected that Hua Lao will send people to inquire about the news, so maybe the Hua Lao faction's personnel in Mohe Province have actually been under Yan Haomiao's surveillance all the time, and the information they can get , Yan Haomiao deliberately let them go."

"So the situation reported back is exactly what you heard."

Guo Zi scratched his head, the amount of information was too much for him for a while.

After thinking and thinking, he didn't dare to say it: "But brother, you have never been to Mohe Province, and this guy didn't tell you clearly, how can you be sure that what you said is the truth?"

He pointed at Yan Xukai, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

Chen Zedao: "At first I didn't know."

"But your brother revealed his true identity, combined with the true or false news he gave before, combining the two, it is not difficult to guess."

"You forgot, he once said that Yan Haomiao handed over two thousand captives to a general named Li Gui, and Li Gui's power in Mohe Province is not very powerful, otherwise Huang Ren How can you not buy his account?"

"Then, after Yan Haomiao's death, how did this little powerful Li Gui keep holding on to this captive army?"

"Yan Haomiao is already dead!"

"Without him, Li Gui is nothing, and naturally it is impossible to compete with Huang Ren."

"However, the situation is that when the two thousand captives suddenly became a key pawn five years later, the people in Mohe Province were still willing to let him keep the post of guard, and even when they came to Fengqi Xing To save time, he and Huang Ren will jointly guard the prisoners."

"Isn't that weird?"

Having said that, Chen Ze's eyes fell on Yan Xukai.

"I think that Li Gui is also a pseudonym, and he was appointed by Yan Haomiao at the beginning, and he is also a person you trust, and he will lead you."

"So in the past few years in Mohe Province, you two thousand...should not be called prisoners anymore, but an elite force!"

He smiled and said: "I think, you have fought for Yan Haomiao in recent years, right?"

"And based on your strength, as long as Yan Haomiao relaxes a little bit, the power that will erupt will exceed imagination."

"That's why even after Yan Haomiao's death, Li Gui has a certain right to speak when he has become an elite army in Mohe Province. At least, no one can command you except him!"

"This is because the Mohe Province had no choice but to send Huang Ren to come here with you. It can be regarded as a restraint."
