Chapter 288 Testing
There was a lot of tension between Master Huang and the chief, and a full-scale martial arts battle was about to break out. At this moment, a cold voice sounded: "You stupid humans know how to fight against each other."
With one sentence, the heated scene immediately dropped to freezing point. At this time, Emperor Chen quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the Imperial Preceptor and said, "This is what the Imperial Preceptor taught you."
Then Emperor Chen sat down again and said with more authority: "You people only know how to bicker here and don't know how to come up with feasible solutions. Although it is inappropriate for Commander Huang to directly send troops for reinforcements, his original intention is good. Mo Mo. Although Chief Muhammad’s tone was a bit exaggerated, he pointed out the harm of direct rescue, which is worth learning from. As for Chief Muhammad’s suspicion that there is a traitor within us, I have sent people to investigate. I believe it We will get to the bottom of this before we take the next step."
The warm remarks made the atmosphere of the venue extremely dull. Emperor Chen must have been a soldier. He knew clearly the advantages and disadvantages of his own army. Originally, building his own factories and producing equipment could greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. Changing the disadvantage of having only a few troops but no combat effectiveness, an explosion destroyed them all, which completely messed up his plan, so now he doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that the people below him were silent again, he asked again: "You can tell me what you think you can do!"
However, there was still no movement below. In fact, these people didn't have any good ideas. The idea that Master Huang came up with just now was the best way. In the end, this idea was defeated by him, the emperor, and Xini. So the others kept silent, otherwise they would not be prepared to be laughed at if they came up with an idea that was worse than Mr. Huang. At this time, as long as there is no fault, it is the best way.
Seeing that no one below him spoke for a long time, Emperor Chen helplessly turned his gaze to the Imperial Preceptor: "National Preceptor, do you think you don't have any good ideas?"
In fact, the last person that Emperor Cheng wanted to ask was the Imperial Preceptor, because he, the puppet emperor, was just a decoration in the eyes of the Imperial Preceptor. If he could come up with any good ideas, he could also show his presence. But now, The final solution had to come from the Imperial Master, which made Emperor Chen very unwilling.
"Since they can't hold on, let them withdraw!" A plain and chilling voice came from the mouth of the national master.
"What? Give up Hami? Isn't this too cheap for those people?" Emperor Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that the imperial master would come up with such a bad idea.
"What, do you want to question my decision?" The Imperial Master looked at Emperor Chen with dangerous red flames in his eyes.
"I don't dare. I'm just unwilling." Emperor Chen quickly stood up and bowed.
"Oh? What are you unwilling to do?" The Imperial Master looked at Emperor Chen playfully.
Being stared at by this dangerous gaze made Emperor Chen's back feel cold, and cold sweat flowed down involuntarily.
"I...I am not willing to let those damn human armies invade my land." Emperor Chen replied cautiously.
"Don't be nervous. Pulling back the troops will be of great use. I will annihilate those humans in one fell swoop when the time comes." The National Preceptor said confidently.
"Could it be that the Imperial Master has a good plan already?" Emperor Chen asked happily at this time.
"It's not time to announce the plan yet. You'll know when the time comes." After saying this, the Imperial Master stood up and walked out.
"Farewell to the Imperial Master!" Emperor Chen bowed respectfully to the Imperial Master's back. It was not until the Imperial Master's figure disappeared at the door of the hall that he wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened up, and sat down on the dragon chair. on, panting slightly. The pressure the Imperial Master put on him just now was so great that it almost made him unable to breathe.
It took a long time before Emperor Chen shouted to the people below: "What are you still doing? If you don't go down, hurry up and arrange the retreat of the Hami army!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor? Do we really want to withdraw?" Master Huang asked with some doubts.
"Why, do you still question my order?" Emperor Chen's face sank and he said majestically.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!" Mr. Huang quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Okay, let's all evacuate!" Emperor Chen waved his hand and drove everyone out of the hall. In fact, Emperor Chen didn't understand what the imperial master wanted.
Everyone in the main hall quickly evacuated, and Emperor Chen returned to his harem listlessly.
However, the next news made Emperor Chen even more depressed. The Hami defenders were robbed and killed on the way. In the end, the troops who escaped were less than 1% of the original number. But you must know that Hami City has more than two million zombies stationed there. troops, and nearly a regiment of human troops, and these troops are equipped with the latest equipment. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of humans, they are not defeated so miserably. They were ambushed, as if humans had already ambushed them. , just waiting for them to take the bait, it was almost a massacre. The unsuspecting retreating troops were killed by the giant zombies at the first time, and then the entire army was in chaos. Those human troops mixed in with the zombie troops soon Surrounded by zombies who regained their true nature, they were all lost in the end.
This made him, the emperor, even more disgraced. He was so incompetent even to withdraw his troops, and he even more suspected that there was a traitor around him. Otherwise, how could the other party know his withdrawal plan so accurately.
"Come here, call me Shaokun." Emperor Chen planned to give this task to his nephew. He really couldn't trust anyone else.
Soon, Chen Shaokun arrived at his uncle's residence.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?" Chen Shaokun was exhausted physically and mentally these past two days from investigating the bombing of an underground factory.
"How has your investigation of the bombing case gone these two days? Do you have any clues?" Emperor Chen asked, getting straight to the point.
"There are some clues. Among the people who know the information about the underground factory, a distant relative of the Afghan chief Mohammed has disappeared. According to the investigation, this missing person disappeared during the battle of Jiayuguan, and I also heard rumors, This chief once planned a ridiculous trap plan to lure the Chinese army to bomb our factory. I think the location of our factory was leaked by a missing person," Chen Shaokun analyzed.
"Oh? There's another matter. I saw that he opposed sending troops to reinforce Hami that day. I thought he was very loyal, but I didn't expect that he would do such a thing behind his back. You should check carefully to see if he has colluded with the Chinese state, otherwise How did the troop withdrawal plan get leaked?" Emperor Chen asked with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Uncle, I have a simple way. There is no need to investigate anymore." Chen Shaokun said.
"What can we do?" Emperor Chen asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"Call our senior officers over and tell them that we have underground factories in other places and ask them to prepare personnel to strengthen defense." Chen Shaokun said.
"Huh? Where did we get the other underground factories?" Emperor Chen looked at Chen Shaokun in confusion.
"Uncle, of course we don't. The reason why we say this is that once the other party knows that there is an underground factory, if the other party has colluded with the Chinese army, they will definitely send planes to bomb. We only need to tell them different addresses. Then, who will The address was bombed, which proves that that person has colluded with the Chinese army." Chen Shaokun said.
"Okay, you are worthy of being my nephew. Okay, let's do it like this. You hurry up and get ready. When we are ready, we will start executing it as planned." Emperor Chen said happily.
"Yes!" Chen Shaokun stood at attention, saluted and strode out.
Within two days, Emperor Chen frequently summoned his ministers, and then had a heart-to-heart talk with them in an intimate manner. He then talked about how much he trusted the other party and wanted to entrust him with important matters, so he took out a map. There was a big red circle drawn on it, and then Emperor Chen pointed to the map and said: "This is our backup arsenal. In order to prevent the enemy from destroying it again, I decided to strengthen the defense here. I really don't trust other people, so I decided to put this The heavy responsibility is entrusted to you, and I hope you can shoulder this heavy responsibility."
Whenever Emperor Chen finished saying this, most people would burst into tears of gratitude, and they didn't know whether it was true or false. Anyway, most people were very excited.
However, there are exceptions. One is Master Huang and the other is Chief Mohammed. After listening, Mr. Huang frowned slightly, and then his resolute face showed a somewhat melancholy look, while Chief Mohammed had a smile on his face, but there was an imperceptible glint in his eyes.
After the matter was explained, Emperor Cheng quietly waited for the plane to bomb. However, a few days passed without any movement. At this time, the private soldiers of several senior officials were ready and were about to set off. He saw that his plan was about to fail. .
Just when Emperor Chen thought he had suspected the wrong person, suddenly that night, the air raid suddenly came again, and the bombing was not in one place, but in two places, one was where Commander Huang was responsible, and the other was where Mohammed was. Emperor Chen was very surprised by the location of his responsibility. Could it be that his two most trusted ministers with great power had rebelled? These two people, one is his important minister brought from China and an important representative of the Chinese people, and the other is a leader of the Afghan nobles. These two people rebelled, making him, the emperor, unable to make a decision. No matter what, I don't believe that these two people will betray me at the same time.
When Emperor Chen didn't know how to deal with this problem, Chen Shaokun entered the palace.
"Shaokun, you came just in time. Please help your uncle to find out which of these two people is the traitor." Emperor Chen pulled Chen Shaokun to sit next to him.
"Uncle, that's why I came here. At first, I had a headache because of the two bombings. However, when I thought about it later, it was actually a good thing. Whether it was Mr. Huang or Mohammed, they both It is inseparable from collaboration with the enemy, and they happen to represent the two forces within the court, so we can use this to suppress them and eliminate those who disobey us, so that in the future, the forces in the court will inevitably bow to us." Chen Shaokun said.
"What if I make a mistake?" Emperor Chen hesitated.
"Uncle, didn't Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms say that he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go, and in these troubled times, there must be no kindness to women." A stern look flashed in Chen Shaokun's eyes.
"Okay, let's do it this way. If we don't get serious with them, they will think that my imperial power is just for show." Emperor Chen finally made up his mind.
The next day, Emperor Chen urgently ascended to the throne. As soon as he came up, he dismissed Master Huang and Mohammed from their official positions and detained them. Their homes were also raided at the same time, and everything was lost in a short time. Everyone is confused, and everyone is in danger, fearing that they will end up like these two people.
