The Era of Generals

Chapter 340 - Chaos

What made Chen Ze dumbfounded the most was that things would not have turned out like this.

Zheng Yuanyun would make things difficult for him. In fact, Chen Ze had expected it a long time ago, and he had thought up some rhetoric to deal with it. For Chen Ze, he had no intention of competing with Zheng Yuanyun at all, so Chen Ze had made up his mind at first. Whatever Zheng Yuanyun said, he followed suit.

Chen Ze's purpose was to leave Nantes Province first. After returning to Anluo Province, he went directly to Xiyun City to find Hua Lao who had gone there first, and then he could farm and develop in Xiyun City with peace of mind. That's all.

Just like what he had analyzed to Elder Hua at the beginning, Xiyun City was not a battleground for military strategists. Its situation was somewhat similar to Xifeng City in Fengqi Province, but it was just a small city.

In addition to Zhang Chengwang's attention at the beginning, the biggest role of Xiyun City is to guard the fugitives who escaped into the poisonous mist forest. In addition, it is estimated that even the locals of Anluo Province will often Forget that there is such a city in his own province.

In Zheng Yuanyun's eyes, Chen Ze's going to Xiyun City was tantamount to self-exile. He was willing to stay in such a small city, so naturally there would be no danger to Zheng Yuanyun, and it would also lower Zheng Yuanyun's vigilance.

Therefore, Chen Ze was actually prepared to be harassed by Zheng Yuanyun in Nantes Province. Anyway, returning to Anluo Province was the top priority.

But who knew that when he fell asleep this time, Luo Zongbing did it out of kindness, and none of the soldiers woke up Chen Ze, intending to handle the matter by himself.

But he didn't know that in the current situation, the last person who couldn't come forward was himself.

Zheng Yuanyun's wariness towards Chen Ze originally came from Chen Ze's wise plan, and it was precisely because of Chen Ze's existence that the crisis in Bo'an City could be resolved.

However, Chen Ze, who resolved the crisis, even more set off the incompetence of other generals, including Zheng Yuanyun.

Because at that time they only focused on the crisis outside Bo'an City, and kept adding troops to Bo'an City, which led to falling into Zhang Chengwang's trap.

Feeling ashamed, Zheng Yuanyun certainly didn't want Chen Ze to show off, so it was inevitable to suppress Chen Ze with his influence.

But his thoughts at the time should have been to suppress Chen Ze, but the appearance of Zongbing Luo completely changed Zheng Yuanyun's thoughts.

Luo Zongbing didn't know why, but he was too kind to Chen Ze.

It was so good that the fear of Chen Ze in Zheng Yuanyun's heart rose countless levels all the way up.

Especially just now, Luo Zongbing even wanted to kill Zheng Yuanyun for Chen Ze!

Wanting to kill Chen Ze for the sake of him, one can imagine what kind of threat Zheng Yuanyun would cause if the two were allowed to leave!

As a result, the conflict that should have been resolved instantly became irreconcilable, and it became more difficult for Chen Ze to leave Nantes Province safely and return to Anluo Province.

All of this is due to the good intentions of Mr. Luo.

Chen Ze, who could only sigh inwardly and could not blame Zongbing Luo, had nothing but helplessness, and it was no longer time for him to hold anyone accountable, but to find a solution.

After all, Zongbing Luo is also a military general. Although he has surpassed most military generals in terms of vision, he is still a bit less interesting than a real adviser.

Zheng Yuanyun was able to realize that the matter was deceitful the moment he drew his sword in anger, and Luo Zongbing's only thought at that time was to provoke Zheng Yuanyun's anger and kill him.

But he never thought about what to do next if Zheng Yuanyun swallowed his breath.

"Zheng Yuanyun... really dare to do it?"

Zongbing Luo showed a thoughtful look on his face, and he couldn't help but glanced in the direction where Zheng Yuanyun was leaving.

Chen Ze secretly sighed. After all, the commander-in-chief underestimated the enemy because of his own status. He thought that Zheng Yuanyun would not dare to take action against him, who was also an important minister of the empire, but in fact, when Zheng Yuanyun left angrily, Chen Ze Ze also clearly felt the murderous aura emanating from the opponent.

Not daring to do it is for profit, and daring to do it is also for profit!

When Zongbing Luo directly threatened Zheng Yuanyun's core foundation, do you think he would dare to do it?

"Whether you dare or not, you still need to take precautions."

Chen Ze could only respond in this way, while frowning, and began to think about the current situation.

Zheng Yuanyun has nearly 2.5 million troops at hand at the moment, which is not only enough for him to conquer those shivering small cities in Nantes Province, but also enough to swallow his poor 90,000 troops.

Chen Ze shook his head slightly. This was actually his own negligence. When he came to Ketan City, he had just experienced a great battle. Yan Haomiao of the Bailie Empire was finally defeated under his plan.

It has to be said that Chen Ze also breathed a sigh of relief at that time, and he didn't think that Zheng Yuanyun's arrival would cause any real damage to him. At most, he would hand over his military power and then go back to Anluo Province.

It was precisely because of this thought that Chen Ze became careless and did not make some arrangements for Zheng Yuanyun before recuperating.

For example, Yang Mingzhong was not allowed to surrender his military power.

Back then when General Luo went to Tell City to ask for soldiers, the subordinates sent by Zheng Yuanyun would rather die than hand over. Instead, Yang Mingzhong who came to Tell City first, because he admired Chen Ze, he ignored Zheng Yuanyun's Command, and handed over the 500,000 troops in his hands to General Luo, so that he would have the opportunity to lead the troops to support Chen Ze in Xifeng City.

But in this way, Yang Mingzhong disobeyed Zheng Yuanyun's order, or he could be said to have betrayed Zheng Yuanyun. With Zheng Yuanyun's narrow personality, he must not be let go afterwards.

Just as Zongbing Luo promised at the beginning, if Zheng Yuanyun pursued it afterwards, he would take responsibility for Yang Mingzhong.

But after Zheng Yuanyun came to Ketan City, he didn't mention what he would do to Yang Mingzhong, so Yang Mingzhong should return his troops to Zheng Yuanyun, after all, the other party was the supreme commander of his immediate boss.

This is the cleverness of Zheng Yuanyun, he temporarily forbeared in exchange for nearly 500,000 troops, and then Chen Ze alone brought more than 90,000 troops from the military aircraft, which was not enough for him to fight.

Chen Ze ignored this point, which made him fall into a passive state.

It would be unrealistic for Yang Mingzhong to ask for his troops back at this time, if he dared to go again, he would be committing suicide!

What made Chen Ze sigh even more was that when he glanced at the system map, he saw that around Ketan City, a large number of flashing red and green light spots surrounded him tightly.

Chen Ze naturally understood what this meant.

When I was in Fengqi Province before, the small light spots on the map also changed, but at that time, the blue representing the enemy and the green representing neutrality changed each other.

The color change of the light spot corresponds to the situation at that time, so...
