It's ridiculous that the Qingyang royal family thought they had finally convinced Hua Lao to come out again, but who would have thought that Hua Lao's decision to come out had nothing to do with them at all, it was just a coincidence.

At the same time, Yan Haomiao died and Zheng Yuanyun also died.

Mr. Hua has plans for Bo'an City.

Taking Bo'an City is equivalent to taking control of the entire Anluo Province, which is also equivalent to Hua Lao controlling all the troops in the Anluo Province.

Of course, Anluo Province was not a big province and its military strength was limited, but after all, it had soldiers under its command, and Zheng Yuanyun was killed in battle at the time. It can be said that the time, place and people are favorable.

At first, Hua Lao was blocked by the two major provinces of the Zhu Yan Empire, and it was impossible to cross these two provinces and attack the Mohe Province, but now this problem does not exist.

The province of Nantes cannot protect itself, and the Zhu Yan Empire is even more incapacitated. At this time of internal and external troubles, it is really a good opportunity for Hua Lao to take action.

If it were before, when the province of Nantes was impregnable, even if Mr. Hua wanted to talk to the other party, it would be impossible to negotiate.

How to talk about this?

He ran to the Zhu Yan Empire and said that he just wanted to borrow a passage from Nantes and Fengqi Provinces, and his destination was the Mohe Province of the Bailie Empire?

Is this possible?

Even though Fengqi Province has always been at odds with Mohe Province, and the two sides are still at loggerheads, this is a matter between the two empires and has nothing to do with the Qingyang Empire.

If Mr. Hua intervenes, will the Zhu Yan Empire, or rather Ouyang Lixing, believe him?

Aren't they afraid that after opening the door, Hua Lao marched straight in, but it turned out that he had secretly colluded with the Bai Lie Empire and played along with them, and was caught off guard by the two sides?

Therefore, the Zhu Yan Empire at that time would definitely not agree to join forces with Hua Lao, even if Hua Lao's name of Qingyang Wise General resounded throughout the continent!

What's more... At that time, Hua Lao was just in the stage of losing power, and his own strength was greatly reduced, which also reduced his right to speak to a certain extent.

In this way, the Zhu Yan Empire will definitely not pay attention to Hua Lao, let alone allow the Qingyang Empire's troops to march straight into their territory, which is even more impossible!

But that was then, and now is now.

Now, most of the province of Nantes has been lost, and even the entire army has been almost wiped out.

Such a major event directly affects the situation of the entire continent, making it currently in turmoil, and the Zhu Yan Empire is also struggling to put out the fire everywhere.

At this time, Hua Lao suddenly came out of the mountain, and as soon as he came out of the world, he took control of the entire Anluo Province!

You know, the main rival of the Nantes province for many years has been the Anlo province!

Therefore, in a sense, the safety of the province of Nantes now mainly depends on the attitude of the province of Anlo.

Although Zheng Yuanyun's side also lost a lot of troops when Zhang Chengwang attacked Anluo Province, and even when he counterattacked towards Nantes Province, due to Chen Ze's secret planning, Zheng Yuanyun's troops

The defeat was another huge loss of troops.

But speaking of it, the situation in Anlo Province is still better than that in Nantes Province, and it is not difficult to raise another army.

Therefore, Hua Lao has now become a vital existence to the Zhu Yan Empire.

So, when Hua Lao decided to accept the arrangement of the Qingyang royal family and take the position of the city lord of Bo'an City, could it be that he had this in mind?

Is he planning to use his position to negotiate terms with the Zhu Yan Empire?

When he thought about this, Chen Ze himself shook his head. He didn't think it was that simple.

Otherwise, why would Mr. Hua cause so many troubles? Everything he did in the City Lord's Mansion was clearly aimed at himself.

He wants to negotiate with the Zhu Yan Empire, but what is he doing against him?

"Do you know...why I sent someone to replace you and that kid Luo Bei?"

Mr. Hua seemed to see Chen Ze's doubts and sighed.

"Pick up your husband..."

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of something.

At the beginning, a general at the rank of general from the Qingyang Empire suddenly came to Nantes Province to replace Chen Ze and General Luo. At that time, Chen Ze discussed the matter with General Luo and thought that in this case

Coming to take over from them at this time is obviously a dirty job.

If it is done well, the credit will not be great. After all, the fruits of victory have been obtained by Chen Ze and General Luo long ago. He can only come here to drink soup.

But if one of them is not handled well, the sin will be huge!

He has to bear all the blame for losing the great situation. If he fails to do it correctly, he may not even be able to protect his military rank.

For something that does more harm than good, there are still people willing to come?

But in the end, the man said that it was Mr. Hua who arranged for him to come, and Chen Ze felt relieved.

It is estimated that Mr. Hua wanted him to maximize his credit, so he accepted it as soon as possible and called him back.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Chen Ze's military rank is very low, and the credit he can get this time is already at the ceiling of his stage. There is no need to become a fat man in one bite and be exposed in everyone's eyes.

Just like Zheng Yuanyun.

Chen Ze only made a splash in Bo'an City, which attracted Zheng Yuanyun's attention, which led to a series of troubles.

There are no shortage of people like Zheng Yuanyun.

There are only so many high-level generals in each empire. Once you rise to the top, others will naturally come down. For the sake of profit, it is always a good thing to have fewer competitors.

And Chen Ze is definitely a very strong competitor.

With this thought, coupled with Chen Ze's trust in Hua Lao, the doubts at that time were put to rest, and he returned to Anluo Province with General Luo.

However, Commander Luo at that time still had doubts about this and was always very cautious.

Now it seems that his caution was not unreasonable, but his suspicions were just in the wrong direction.

"Mr. Hua, what do you mean..."

Chen Ze pondered, tapped his fingers on the stone table twice, gritted his teeth and said: "During this period, someone took the initiative to contact you, and the person who came was not the Zhu Yan Empire or the Bai Lie Empire?"

He began to think that Hua Lao was willing to take over the position of Bo'an City Lord just to have capital to negotiate with the Zhu Yan Empire.

It seems not now.

When Hua Lao said that he sent someone to replace Chen Ze to garrison Nantes Province, Chen Ze thought that the real reason for Hua Lao to do this was not the Zhu Yan Empire, but the Bai Lie Empire!

After all, the Zhu Yan Empire didn't know that Hua Lao had hostages in the hands of the Bai Lie Empire, so even if there were internal and external troubles, it was impossible for the Zhu Yan Empire to take the initiative to send people to contact a former general who had retired for a long time.

Only the White Lie Empire!
