After telling Chen Ming to be more careful, Chen Ze turned his attention to the present.

He is not a judgmental person. Even though he has already made assumptions, he still wants to be more stable.

So he asked the troops to camp temporarily and sent Meng Yang back to call Huang Liang.

This came and went for an hour, and the sky was already completely dark.

When he went to Tang Tianxing, who was inquiring from the front, he knew that the other party had not made any move, and was still clinging to the intersection, and this made Chen Ze believe his judgment even more.

Are these guys determined not to let anyone pass?

Fortunately, the opponent did not move, and they were outside the opponent's detection range. Chen Ze also strictly ordered his soldiers not to light bonfires or make loud noises. Everything was done in the dark to reduce the risk of being discovered by the opponent.

risks of.

Then, Meng Yang arrived with Huang Liang.

"Master Chen, are you looking for me?"

The feeling of being needed is always pleasant, at least for Huang Liang now.

Facing the cheerful Huang Liang, Chen Ze was no longer as happy as he was at the moment.

Seeing him coming, he immediately unfolded a map, pointed at a place and asked, "Where is this place?"

Huang Liang was slightly startled, but he saw that Chen Ze's face was extremely serious. His heart was frightened at that moment, and he quickly used the moonlight to carefully distinguish the map in Chen Ze's hand.

"Isn't this...that's where it is?"

Huang Liang took a closer look and was immediately at a loss.

The place Chen Ze pointed to was exactly an important intersection that they would pass through if they were to continue their journey.

"I mean, where was this before?"

Chen Ze snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Huang Liang's answer.

"Ah, this?"

Huang Liang's heart tightened, and he quickly looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly said: "I remember, it turns out this is here!"

Rubbing his eyebrows and thinking carefully, he said again: "Master Chen, this place has been abandoned for a long time!"

"Earlier on, well, about forty years ago, a large granary was originally built here!"

"granary?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Ze immediately thought of the four cities on the border of Fengqi Province.

Now I searched carefully on the map, and it suddenly became clear to me.

Yes, the situation here is actually similar to the original four border cities!

Although it seems that there is only one city within the scope of Dongning City, there is still a mark on the map in Chen Ze's hand.

Not far ahead, on both sides of the intersection, there used to be cities.

At that time, this place could actually be called the border line, and it was Dongning City and these two cities that were responsible for the defense task.

At that time, the territory of Fengqi Province was not so large. However, after gaining a huge advantage in a battle with Mohe Province, the top commander of Fengqi Province followed the trend and expanded its territory.

After a while, the place where Chen Ze was now became the inland location of Fengqi Province.

As he watched and listened to the little details Huang Liang recalled, the situation began to become clearer.

It was precisely because of that battle that year that Mohe Province finally lost a large area of ​​territory. In the eyes of the Bai Lie Empire, which ranked first in the mainland, it was a great shame and humiliation!

It is precisely for this reason that Mohe Province has always regarded Fengqi Province as its mortal enemy and is eager to get rid of it quickly.

Of course, these old grievances have nothing to do with Chen Ze.

However, when looking at the occupied important crossing, Chen Ze's thoughts continued to diverge, connecting the abandoned cities that he had not noticed before, which were only marked as two small dots on the map.

In the past, these two cities served as wingmen, and their purpose was to assist Dongning City in defending against attacks from Mohe Province.

Although due to geographical reasons, Mohe Province is unlikely to launch a large-scale war against Fengqi Province from the direction of Dongning City, so although Dongning City's city is not as large as the main city, it is only for defense.

, is still enough.

But later, Fengqi Province expanded, and the original border became inland. The two cities themselves were not on the main transportation routes, so they gradually lost their role. Moreover, the civilians in the two cities had countless connections with Dongning City.

Due to the relationship with the building, personnel are also being lost towards Dongning City.

Then the authorities simply moved all the civilians of these two cities into Dongning City, and then abandoned the two cities.

Regarding this period of relocation history, not to mention Chen Ze, who was an outsider, even Huang Liang thought about it again and again, and finally recalled it roughly.

As the deputy city of the two wingmen, Dongning City was responsible for transporting its supplies.

At that time, in order to ensure the safety of transportation and not give the enemy spies a chance to sneak into Fengqi Province, the lord of Dongning City built a granary at the intersection of the main road connecting the two cities. On the surface, there was no difference, but

In fact, supplies and supplies were transported to the two cities through tunnels dug in advance.

"Master Chen, why are you asking about this matter for no reason?"

After spending a lot of time, Huang Liang gave an overview of what happened that year, and finally asked curiously.

Chen Ze did not answer his question, but asked again: "Then let me ask you, if I didn't mention this to you, and you stationed a large number of troops in the front, what would you do first?

"

Huang Liang was startled for a moment, then thought carefully: "If it were me... I would have blocked those abandoned tunnels in advance!"

"You can think of the tunnel directly?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows. Based on his understanding of Huang Liang, he didn't seem to be such a careful person.

"Master Chen doesn't know something."

Huang Liang thought for a while and then said: "If it were another place, I might not care too much, but there, a lot of things happened in the past few years."

"I think back then, shortly after the three cities of Dongning merged into one, I don't know who was spreading rumors outside, saying that there was still a lot of supplies stored in the granary tunnel, which attracted a large number of... ahem, colleagues.

.”

Chen Ze understood this as soon as he said it.

A large granary used as frontline supplies during wartime. The materials inside would really make some people greedy. And if someone deliberately spread the news, you can imagine how many bandits and bandits will be attracted to this so-called treasure.

Jealousy and heartbeat.

It is estimated that many people must have died here because of this granary, so that even now, Huang Liang still has an impression in his heart.

But in fact, Huang Liang was in the middle of the situation.

Whether he was a general before or a bandit now, he had enough reasons to know this secret, so when Chen Ze asked, he would give such an answer.

And in the eyes of others?
