Chen Ze knew the reason for Chen Ming's hesitation very well.

Yes, Cheng Hong deceived everyone.

The Bailie Empire army in his hands was not a negotiated cooperation with the Qingyang Empire, but was brought in without authorization.

In order to block the news, the entire city of Ter was taken over by him and guarded by his own Bai Lie Empire soldiers.

Under such a sudden change of weather, there is no news about Nantes Province at this moment. On the side of Qingyang Empire, they only know that a general named Cheng Hong is guarding the four main cities, but they have no idea that Nantes Province is already composed of

A large number of Bailie Empire soldiers took over, and the Qingyang Empire's army only accounted for one-third of its number.

The Qingyang army in the Nantes province also didn't know that this was not an order from the empire. They thought that the empire had really reached an agreement with the Bai Lie Empire, so that each could take advantage of what they needed and join forces vertically and horizontally.

Therefore, even if He Meng had a deep hatred for the Bai Lie Empire, after learning that this cooperation was an order from the superiors, he had no choice but to obey the order.

And is Chen Ze's mission legal this time?

In fact, it is illegal.

Hua Lao's cooperation with the Bai Lie Empire this time may sound like cooperation, but in fact it is a serious treason.

It was precisely because of his relationship that Cheng Hong was able to successfully switch defenses with General Luo, and gave up a good situation to the Bai Lie Empire.

For this alone, Hua Lao's guilt is extremely serious.

Therefore, Chen Ze could not tell He Meng clearly that Cheng Hong was actually not from the Qingyang Empire, but a spy sent by the Bailie Empire.

Because this statement inevitably brings up the whole story, and Hua Lao's collaboration with the enemy cannot be concealed.

In this case, what kind of reaction will He Meng make?

It is true that he hates the Bailie Empire, but doesn't he hate Hua Lao who is collaborating with the Bailie Empire?

Another point, Chen Ze went to find He Meng, his purpose was naturally to open a breakthrough from him so that he could go to Ihe City to contact Ouyang Lixing.

This purpose cannot be concealed either.

As long as it is mentioned, no matter how stupid He Meng is, he can still think of something.

But who is Ouyang Lixing?

That is the general of the Zhu Yan Empire!

As a member of the Qingyang Empire, Chen Ze wants to enter Ihe City to contact Ouyang Lixing?

This matter itself is very doubtful.

At best, He Meng only had a drinking relationship with Meng Yang and others, so it was difficult to guarantee his position.

Chen Ze went to contact Ouyang Lixing, which meant that he wanted to help Ouyang Lixing regardless of the Qingyang Empire's plan to seize the province of Nantes.

This is detrimental to the interests of the empire.

Furthermore, He Meng would not believe that a commander-in-chief was actually a spy from another country just because of Chen Ze's words. Before the matter was found out, Chen Ze asked him to help him sneak into Ihe City?

So what would He Meng think?

This is a problem.

This was also the reason why after Chen Ming met He Meng, he suddenly had an idea and then started to hesitate and did not tell Chen Ze immediately.

Chen Ze pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Anyway, He Meng is also a choice for us now, or is there any other general Qingyang who can be confirmed?"

While saying this, one face after another began to appear in his own mind.

But to be honest, not really.

The one they were most familiar with before was Yang Mingzhong. This man also created the current situation in Nantes Province after believing Chen Ze's advice. Zheng Yuanyun then strictly prohibited sending reinforcements to Xifeng City. It was also he who ignored the order and sent himself to Nantes.

The troops were handed over to General Luo.

When it comes to trust, Yang Mingzhong is more trusted by Chen Ze.

It's a pity that Yang Mingzhong is no longer in Nantes Province.

After offending Zheng Yuanyun, Commander Luo tried his best to protect him, and then he was sent back by Commander Luo. He is not here now.

As for others.

Only then did Chen Ze discover that many of the generals who had interacted with them had been sent back by Cheng Hong a long time ago. Most of the generals who stayed here, who had come with them on the expedition, were just like this.

of middle and low-level generals.

These people were left behind because, firstly, Cheng Hong really needed manpower to manage the nearly one million troops of the Qingyang Empire itself, but secondly, these people were of very low rank, had limited vision and knowledge, and could not possibly come into contact with the army.

Some key decisions at the top level.

To put it bluntly, it's easy to fool.

A general of He Meng's rank will naturally do whatever the superiors say, without any possibility of refutation.

But Chen Ming also mentioned to Chen Ze that although He Meng and his ilk were left in Nantes Province under the command of Cheng Hong, it was obvious that they were not reused by Cheng Hong, but were only placed under the iron command.

The outermost edge of the barrel array.

In other words, even if there is a problem with He Meng, the blockade inside can still ensure a certain strength and will not let people in easily.

Most of the other generals of the Qingyang Empire were in the same situation as He Meng.

Relatively speaking, because I don't know the details of other people, and I don't know if any of these people are spies that Cheng Hong deliberately put in, so I don't dare to contact them at will.

There is only one He Meng, which can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Chen Ming took the order and left.

When he met He Meng, he had already deliberately noted down the barracks where He Meng was located. This time he went there again, and it could be said that he was familiar with the road.

Not long after he left, Chen Ze thought for a while and used the system to call Chen Ming, and then sent Gu Qingfeng and others to form a six-person team.

Chen Ming was responsible for leading the way, while Gu Qingfeng and the other five had received instructions from Chen Ze. The purpose of following them this time was to... kidnap He Meng.

Yes, just tie him up.

How risky is it to let Chen Ming go find He Meng alone?

It was okay for He Meng to think that Chen Ming was lying to him, but what if he turned around and ran to Cheng Hong to inform him?

This is not impossible.

It is true that He Meng hates the Bai Lie Empire, but who can prove that the person who is rebelling now is not Chen Ze?

Who can prove that Chen Ze is using He Meng's hatred for the Bai Lie Empire to cause trouble?

No one can guarantee it.

Therefore, He Meng definitely had reason to doubt Chen Ming's motives and also had reason to report it to Zheng Yuanyun.

Then, there are variables in this matter.

If there are variables, there is no insurance. Of course, Chen Ze can keep watching Chen Ming and choose to use the star possession to save him when he is in danger. But in this way, Cheng Hong will know Chen Ze's whereabouts more clearly.

It would be even more difficult for them to sneak into Iai City later.

It would be better to tie up He Meng directly.

Although it would be suspicious to lose a general in the army for no reason, as long as Chen Ze and others act quickly enough, the disappearance of He Meng, a middle- and low-level general, should not cause much concern.
