The Era of Generals

Chapter 335   The Nantes Storm Rises

Chen Zejun.

After breaking away from the battlefield, Chen Ze led his troops of more than 500,000 troops and began to retreat.

He retreated calmly, even reserved a small number of scouts to monitor the periphery, and didn't care about being attacked by the Zhu Yan Empire later.

Although Chen Ze, the general soldier of Ouyang, has never met before, but from the arrangement of the other party, it can be seen that he is a cautious person.

Then he would naturally think of the risks if he led his troops deep into the current Nantes province.

You must know that the Qingyang Empire has regarded Nantes Province as its own territory at this time, if Ouyang Lixing leads the army to go deep, it means that he wants to start a full-scale war with the Qingyang Empire at this time!

Although he has a lot of troops, he still has to devote his energy to take care of the remaining prisoners of the Bailie Empire, and he has to withdraw part of his troops to garrison the four border cities, seven to eight. In fact, there are not many troops that can be used for long-distance pursuit .

The Qingyang Empire had just won a big victory in Anhao Province, and according to intelligence, the battle in Anluo Province was just a large number of troops but not too much loss.

If Ouyang Lixing wanted to pursue Chen Ze, he had to take into account that the Anluo province was constantly sending reinforcements to Nantes province, which was a thankless task.

It's better to take advantage of the opportunity that has just resolved the threat of the Bailie Empire, to strengthen the defense capabilities of Fengqi Province, and then plan for the follow-up.

So Chen Ze didn't really believe that the other party would do such an unwise move, and he didn't take into account the favors he gave to the other party twice.

After all, Xifeng City was set on fire by him, and the people in Fengqi Province don't know it yet. After a while, when the Dongchuang incident happens, the other party will be blown up. up.

After marching like this for more than half a day, as expected, no pursuers came from behind, and Chen Ze's troops finally arrived at Ketan City at noon of the new day.

According to Luo Zongbing and Yang Mingzhong, Zheng Yuanyun has not arrived yet, and the million-dollar army he sent earlier is now more concentrated in Tel City, and the fact is exactly the same. Seeing that it is Chen Ze and others After returning, the defenders of Ketan City let the army of more than 500,000 soldiers enter the city after a short investigation.

Chen Ze had no intention of going any further, so he settled down in Ketan City so that his soldiers could rest and recuperate for a while after the overnight battle and the hasty march.

Until then, Chen Ze heaved a sigh of relief.

Then it was a wry smile.

I came to Nantes Province because I didn't want to compete with Zheng Yuanyun at this time. After all, the two pursued different things, but Chen Ze couldn't clearly state what his needs were, so there was no need to confront Zheng Yuanyun head-on.

Instead, he took this opportunity to ask Mr. Hua for 100,000 troops as his team.

Originally, according to his intention, coming to Nantes Province was just a formality, and when Zheng Yuanyun arrived, he immediately resigned and left.

I believe that based on the other party's suspicion of him, Zheng Yuanyun wished that he would leave as soon as possible, and stop taking credit for him in Nantes province.

But who would have thought that when he came to Nantes province, he would run into Yan Haomiao, and because of the situation, he had to make a decision at that time.

In the end, he was tricked by Yan Haomiao, who had no faith in his words, so much so that he was forced to attack from afar and entered Fengqi Province, and became the target of public criticism for a while.

During that period of time, Chen Ze was exhausted. Although it seemed that the loss was not large on the surface, only he himself understood the hardships involved.

And as the commander-in-chief of an army, his words and deeds will affect the soldiers below him even more, so Chen Ze is the one who knows the pain, and he has endured great pressure during this period.

Fortunately, all this has passed.

Not only did he return to Nantes Province smoothly from Xifeng City, but he also successfully bit Yan Haomiao back before leaving, which can be regarded as a good way to express the grievances of the past few days.

After returning to Ketan City, Chen Ze also heard the news that Zheng Yuanyun was coming, and when the other party arrived, he would have truly retired and could go back to Anluo Province.

He was also exhausted physically and mentally. After he hastily arranged follow-up matters, Chen Ze really fell asleep.

This sleep was extremely heavy because nothing serious happened. When Chen Ze woke up, he found that it was already noon the next day.

Habitually, he glanced at the system map first, and saw that the spies he had placed everywhere were all calm and there was no sign of trouble, so he felt relieved.

Nothing happened to the left and right, he got up slowly, washed up before opening the door Shi Shiran.

As a result, what surprised him was that someone was looking in from outside the door, but his expression was a little anxious.

"Young master, you are awake!"

When he saw Chen Ze come out, he was overjoyed and hurried to Chen Ze.

This person is Xu Qing's entourage specially arranged to help Chen Ze. He is called Li Gu. He is staying here, so he naturally has something to report to Chen Ze.

And it's urgent.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ze asked with a frown.

Since something happened, he was looking outside the door without waking him up?

Li Gu saw that Chen Ze's face was unhappy, and said quickly: "It's the commander-in-chief who said that there is no need to wake up the young master, he is here for everything!"

"Master Chief Soldier?"

Chen Ze frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Gu replied: "It's Mr. Zheng, he's here!"

"Master Zheng?"

Chen Ze was stunned. Yesterday he heard that Zheng Yuanyun was about to arrive in Nantes province. Calculating the time, it was time to arrive.

Zheng Yuanyun is the head of a province, and Li Gu's anxiety is justified, but for Luo Zongbing, he is nothing more than equal.

And Chen Ze could probably guess the reason why Zheng Yuanyun crossed the city of Tell and rushed to Ketan City as soon as he arrived in Nantes Province.

This is Xingshi's questioning!

Don't forget, the 500,000 elite soldiers that General Luo took away from Tel City that day were forcibly handed over to General Luo by Yang Mingzhong, regardless of Zheng Yuanyun's latent intentions.

As far as Zheng Yuanyun was concerned, of course he would not make this decision.

And what a good opportunity it was at that time, if President Luo didn't take away the half a million elite soldiers, this would simply be an excellent opportunity to get rid of Chen Ze!

However, Zheng Yuanyun would naturally not say anything about this matter, but if he ruined such a good thing, there will definitely be accountability afterwards.

This was the reason why Zheng Yuanyun rushed to Ketan City aggressively.

At the same time, it was also the reason why General Luo didn't let Chen Ze come forward.

After all, Chen Ze was only Zheng Yuanyun's subordinate, and if he came forward, he would inevitably have to be made things difficult by Zheng Yuanyun. Besides, that soldier was taken away by General Luo. yes.

That's why President Luo didn't let Chen Ze show up, but let Li Gu stay at Chen Ze's door, and let him tell him what happened after he woke up.

Zongbing Luo also believed that Chen Ze would understand as soon as he heard it, and he could handle this matter by himself.
