The Era of Generals

Chapter 201   Beginning to have expectations

Chen Ze, who Zheng Yuanyun couldn't see through, was actually far less complicated than he imagined.

Doesn't Chen Ze know that staying in Bo'an City will have greater benefits?

He knew, but he also knew that those so-called benefits were a hot potato for him now.

What can he gain by staying in Bo'an City?

The promotion of military rank?

This didn't run away at all. Whether the military rank is promoted or not is related to the combat merit promotion mechanism established by the Military Aircraft Department.

Since Xiyun City, Chen Ze has been accepting military exploits from the Military Aircraft Department. At that time, the task of defending the poisonous mist forest was completed, and he was promoted to the rank of counselor.

Later, he discovered that the Zhu Yan Empire had a second ambush plan that was hidden deeper, and then he led the army all the way to chase and suppress Zhu Yan's ambush. Because of the war, he never went to the military plane to hand over the mission to claim the military exploits.

Later in Bo'an City, he persuaded Zheng Yuanyun to adopt his strategy, and used the strategy of inviting the king into the urn against Zhu Yan's army. When he set off, Hua Lao naturally did not forget to add new combat missions to the military aircraft, and the amount was also huge. .

So this is also what Chen Ze pointed out just now, the fact that his military rank will be further improved.

He couldn't leave without leaving, and his military achievements would not be less, but what Zheng Yuanyun valued was also what Lao Hua regretted, and it was the benefits other than military achievements.

For example, the prestige among the people, or the attention of the empire, these are all things that any general who wants to develop is very important.

Especially if he can get the appreciation of the empire, it is foreseeable that he will rise to the top and make steady progress from now on.

How could Chen Ze not be clear about these?

But he also knows that although these benefits are obvious, at the same time, there are murderous intentions behind every step.

If nothing else, just say now.

He had just made his way in Bo'an City, and immediately attracted Zheng Yuanyun's vigilance. One could imagine what was waiting for him if he wanted to climb up.

Although Chen Ze has some strength now, even Zhao Yun, the legendary general star, has been brought under his command, but this does not mean that he has swollen enough to think that he can face the general-level Zheng Yuanyun.

This kind of intrigue and power struggle cannot be resolved by releasing a few generals.

Zheng Yuanyun's contacts, status, and resources, no matter what, are not comparable to the current Chen Ze.

Of course, if you really want to fight Chen Ze, you won't be afraid, both sides will suffer.

But why did he insist on losing both sides with Zheng Yuanyun?

What Zheng Yuanyun cares about is a city, a province, and everything he owns now.

But does Chen Ze care?

After all, he has always regarded himself as an outsider looking at the world, Bo'an City? Anluo Province? Qingyang Empire?

He doesn't care about these.

Why should he fight desperately with someone who cares about something he doesn't care about?

On the contrary, when he left Bo'an City, he left with his army. Although the time was not right, there was always a chance to get what he cared about.

What he cares about is the military achievements in the general star system, the powerful generals, this is the foundation for him to be able to settle down in this world.

Giving up the fight in Bo'an City in exchange for better development, this is the path Chen Ze thinks he should take now.

The situation that was supposed to be a war of words and guns and tongues, with each other having their own ulterior motives, vanished into nothingness after Chen Zena directly asked for troops to support them.

So much so that whether it was Zheng Yuanyun or the other generals present, he felt bored for a while, but he really didn't know where to start.

How about the battle that just ended?

What is there to talk about?

This battle was won beautifully, but they are just small pawns on other people's chessboard, at the mercy of others.

Bragging about how many enemies they have killed on the battlefield is something that low-level soldiers or low-ranking generals will do, and their status is not enough to be complacent about it.

What's more, the chess player is on the spot right now. Is this a compliment to himself, or does it highlight the chess player's wisdom?

If one was not careful, he didn't please Chen Ze, but offended Zheng Yuanyun instead, the loss outweighed the gain.

Chen Ze waited for the meeting, seeing Zheng Yuanyun sitting on the first seat with a thoughtful face, and no longer interested in speaking, he knew that he was waiting for him at the gate of the city for this matter .

There was no intention of staying any longer, so after bidding farewell to Zheng Yuanyun, he left the meeting hall first.

Mr. Hua also seemed to be disdainful of what Zheng Yuanyun did. As soon as Chen Ze left, he also led Mr. Jing, the fat shopkeeper, and others out of the meeting hall on the grounds that he wanted to prepare troops for Chen Ze. When he left the gate of the city lord's mansion, he stopped him.

"Come back and talk to me?"

Hua Lao, who had always been indifferent to everything, took the initiative to ask Chen Ze.

Chen Ze turned his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mr. Hua's slightly happy face in the background, and secretly sighed in his heart.

He felt that he seemed to have wronged Mr. Jing.

This person helped him back then, but his purpose was not pure, as he himself said, it was for himself.

Even if Chen Ze successfully defended against the attack of the poisonous fog army, Mr. Jing still chose to take the blame and resign, voluntarily reported to Zheng Yuanlong, and resigned from his position as the chief officer of the Xiyun City military aircraft.

At the beginning, Chen Ze thought that Mr. Jing was being hypocritical, and when the other party offered him an olive branch, he felt extremely disgusted and did not want to choose to stand in line.

So much so that after that, he gradually moved away from Mr. Jing, and didn't want to have anything to do with this person.

But when they met again in Bo'an City, although the two of them did not talk to each other, from some subtleties, Chen Ze could still see that Mr. Jing genuinely cared about Mr. Hua.

This kind of concern does not involve interests, nor does it consider itself. What Mr. Jing occasionally reveals from his eyes is the admiration for Mr. Hua.

This feeling cannot be faked.

From the very beginning when Mr. Hua showed his will to die and used his life as a guarantee for Chen Ze, the anxiety and anxiety on Mr. Jing's face, and now, Mr. Hua seems to be slowly coming out of his autistic mood Mr. Jing, who noticed this, showed joy again.

If such tiny details are performed by him, then Mr. Jing's acting skills are too superb.

Maybe...it's because I'm thinking too complicated.

Thinking about it in his mind, he did not refuse Hua Lao's invitation. After he settled Meng Yang and others who still disliked Hua Lao, he went to Licheng Lord's Mansion together with the fat shopkeeper who was waiting for him. Go to the far military plane.

"Brother Chen, I'm impressed with you brother!"

Shopkeeper Teng and Chen Ze are old acquaintances. He has been doing business for a long time, and he is also a smooth and sophisticated person. His affinity is first-class. He cheerfully gave Chen Ze a thumbs up, knowing that there was an element of compliment Inside, but it didn't make people feel any discomfort.

"Xu Shen has received the award."

Chen Ze smiled, nodded to him and said, "Back then I had to take care of him, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

"If you want to talk about taking care of..."

The fat shopkeeper's face darkened, "Actually, I have to thank you."
