The Era of Generals

The cavalry belonging to Xiyun City was assigned by Chen Ze, and they also found an open area outside the city gate, and temporarily set up marching tents to settle down.

He entrusted Xu Qing and Meng Yang to be in charge of these soldiers, while he only brought Li Quan'an and Chen Ming, plus He Xuan from Qilin City, and the four of them followed the fat shopkeeper to Bo'an City.

"Brother Chen, the speed at which your rank is promoted is too fast!"

"Old Xu, I really admire you!"

The fat shopkeeper rode side by side with Chen Ze. He glanced at the badge representing a counselor on Chen Ze's chest, and sighed sincerely.

If the other generals saw Chen Ze's military rank, they would feel a little contemptuous in their hearts. He was just a small counselor, so nothing to worry about.

But he was different. He knew that Chen Ze didn't even have a military rank when he left Bo'an City. After going out for a while and coming back, this kid skipped the rank of counselor and was promoted to the rank of counselor. The speed of promotion is incredible. unhappy.

"Your Excellency has won the award."

Chen Ze smiled and said modestly, "It just happens to be the meeting."

"When it happens, you have to seize the opportunity!"

The fat shopkeeper was still sighing, and then said: "By the way, Mr. Hua has already read the letter you sent."

Chen Ze nodded, he had already guessed a thing or two from the guard posts outside, so he asked, "What does Hua Lao mean?"

"Mr. Hua just asked me to wait for you here. For the specific situation, brother Chen should ask him himself."

The fat shopkeeper replied.

Entering the city, the hustle and bustle of Bo'an City in the past no longer exists.

Although this offensive and defensive battle has never started, the tense atmosphere belonging to wartime is not lacking at all.

The common people were relocated to an area near the back of the city. Except for the old, weak and young, middle-aged men were transferred to help carry supplies and make arrows and javelins and other ordnance. Women also sorted out medicinal materials under the command of the logistics department. Cooking military food, etc., can be described as the general mobilization of the whole city.

As far as Chen Ze was going, he could see groups of solemn-looking soldiers going back and forth everywhere, and there were not a few mid-level and high-ranking generals such as school lieutenants and governors. The entire Bo'an City gathered almost half of the military talents in Anluo Province.

In comparison, my first-class counselor is really nothing.

The fat shopkeeper did not lead Chen Ze and others to the military plane, but stopped directly outside the city lord's mansion.

The guards outside the mansion knew the fat shopkeeper, but even so, they still checked the identities of Chen Ze and others in detail, but finally let Li Quanan and Chen Ming stay outside to wait, and only allowed Chen Ze who had military ranks to wait. Ze and He Xuan entered.

It is still the fat shopkeeper who leads the way.

Compared with the Military Aircraft Department that was turned into a restaurant by Mr. Hua, the Bo'an City Lord's Mansion is much more orthodox and more grand.

After entering the gate, bypassing the screen wall engraved with the Anluo landscape map, there is a rather large martial arts training ground, and the most solemn and majestic building in the city lord's mansion is behind the martial arts training ground.

chamber.

Although Chen Ze came here for the first time, he also knew that the main hall with the meeting hall written on the horizontal plaque was the place where Zheng Yuanyun, the lord of Bo'an City, usually worked and handled military affairs.

He walked in with the fat shopkeeper, but saw that the meeting hall was already full of people sitting on the left and right.

As soon as he stepped in, Chen Ze was stunned.

He didn't know most of the people inside, and he could only tell from the military ranks on his chest that they were all high-ranking generals above the governor level, and none of them were of the same rank as General Zheng Yuanyun.

Among these people, he knew three of them.

One is Hua Lao who is sitting first on the left. Even on such occasions, he is still drunk. Tea is placed on other people's table, but there are two jars of spirits at his side. Chen Ze When he came in, he didn't even look straight at him.

To Chen Ze's surprise, Mr. Jing from Xiyun City was standing respectfully behind Hua Lao at this moment, and when he saw Chen Ze entering, he gave him a slight nod.

There was another one, Zheng Yuanlong, the lord of Xiyun City, but he was sitting in the third place on the right at the moment, and the two in front of him were the two generals with the highest rank in the hall.

Zheng Yuanlong was originally defending the supply line, and Chen Ze also sent someone to report to him the information Du Jun had given him. With his impatience, he probably rushed to Bo'an City as soon as he received the information, so he was even stronger than Chen Ze. It's been a few days.

After entering, the fat shopkeeper bowed to the person sitting at the head of the hall, and then went to stand behind Hua Lao, leaving only Chen Ze and He Xuan standing in the hall, receiving everyone's attention.

Chen Ze is better. He Xuan is just a small general. I have never seen so many important people, who are so nervous that his palms are sweating. .

Of course, everyone's attention is not on He Xuan, but on Chen Ze, the young man with the lowest military rank in the council hall, who is only a first-class counselor.

The person in front of the hall is Zheng Yuanyun, the lord of Bo'an city, without a doubt. His face looks quite similar to Zheng Yuanlong's, but his figure is thin. Robes, sitting on the chair of the castellan, people and clothing are meticulous.

Zheng Yuanyun looked Chen Ze up and down for a moment, then said indifferently, "You are Chen Ze?"

Mr. Jing and Zheng Yuanlong were there, and the people in the hall probably heard about his deeds. Chen Ze did not show any timidity, and saluted Zheng Yuanyun and the other generals calmly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am Chen Ze, I have seen you all. grown ups."

Zheng Yuanyun looked at him for a while, then suddenly picked up a piece of letter paper from the tea table in front of him, and asked, "You said that ambush soldiers from the Zhuyan Empire sneaked into Anluo Province, and you wrote a letter to Mr. Hua, So, is there evidence for this?"

Chen Ze responded: "Before the ambush, I was still skeptical, but now I can be sure. This General He has personally experienced the specific situation."

"Yep!"

Seeing himself mentioned, He Xuan hurriedly took over the conversation, "My lord, the last general is the grain guard sent by Qilin City. On the way back from Bo'an City, I did encounter Zhu Yan Empire's ambush and..."

Now he will be ambushed on the return journey, and then Chen Ze suddenly led his people to appear, and finally explained in detail the matter of defeating Zhu Yan's ambush.

With Chen Ze by his side, He Xuan didn't have the nerve to take all the credit for it. In general, apart from beautifying himself, the process was fairly to the point.

He was only halfway through his speech, and the meeting room was filled with astonishment, and everyone was whispering to each other, and their surprised eyes couldn't help looking at Chen Ze.

Zheng Yuanyun didn't say a word, and waited until He Xuan told the whole story, the light in his eyes flickered a few times, his eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the chief soldier sitting second from the right, Shen Sheng said:

"Old Huang, what do you say?"

snap!

The commander-in-chief who was named had a cloudy face, but when he heard it, he slapped the armrest immediately, stared and shouted sharply: "Nonsense!"
