The Era of Generals

Chapter 404 - Convergence of All Ways

"Master Chen!"

While Guo Zi was introducing the situation to Chen Ze, a general in full armor walked up to Chen Ze with sonorous steps from the army entering the city, and bowed his hands to salute him.

When Chen Ze saw it, he took a small step to the side, instead of accepting his gift, he smiled and said, "Master Governor, why is this, I should tell you the fault of not being able to welcome him far away."

This general is a superintendent. Although he is a military general in terms of military rank, he is still much higher than Chen Ze's co-leader.

Those with high ranks saluting to those with low ranks, this is too weird to see.

The governor also smiled and said: "Master Chen, you are polite. Although this general is the general who leads the army this time, Mr. Hua has explained before leaving. I, the superintendent, are included."

As he said that, he took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ze, saying: "This is the token of the military plane that Mr. Hua gave you. With this token in hand, the 100,000 troops are only under the command of you, Mr. Chen." Order, I will never speak nonsense."

This time Chen Ze was not polite, his face straightened, and when he took the token, he also thanked the governor.

"By the way, I don't know the name of General Gao?"

After carefully putting away the token, Chen Ze asked again.

"I don't dare to do it. My surname is Huang Mingshi. I used to work in front of Mr. Hua's tent. This time, Mr. Hua finally stopped hiding from the world. Master Chen definitely contributed to this. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Chen!"

Chen Ze nodded knowingly, as expected, this person was Hua Lao's confidant back then, that is to say, like Mr. Jing, the military chief of Xiyun City back then, he was a general who had followed or even received Hua Lao's favor back then.

Before, Chen Ze guessed that even if Mr. Hua retired, the power under him would not disappear with him. At that time, Mr. Jing really wanted to recruit Chen Ze into his group, but Chen Ze never made a statement.

Now that Hua Lao came out of the mountain again, it was normal for those diehards who had followed him to gather in West Cloud City.

This should be the case with Huang Shi, so Hua Lao was relieved to temporarily hand over the military power to him, and he took it to Nantes province and transferred it to Chen Ze, not worried about any accidents.

It can be seen that this Huang Shi is also a person deeply trusted by Hua Lao.

So he didn't neglect, and ordered people to welcome Huang Shi back to the city lord's mansion to settle down, while he himself stayed at the city gate.

Inside the city gate of Ketan City was a huge square. A hundred thousand troops entered through the gate and lined up on the spot. There were 100,000 troops, but it was still not crowded.

Chen Ze stood on the temporary deployment platform, glanced down the stage, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Through the magnifying glass, he can see that the quality of these soldiers is not low. Most of them are between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers. It is not bad to have this quality of soldiers for the hasty allocation.

After a few simple instructions, the purpose was to let the soldiers get to know themselves. Considering that these soldiers had just gone through a long journey, he didn't make any arrangements, so he asked Xu Qing to lead the team to settle down temporarily in the barracks.

However, before leaving, he still explained that he asked the soldiers to be ready to march again at any time without taking off their clothes!

At this point, Chen Ze was slightly relieved.

Everything now is still under his control, although it is unexpected that Ning Zhengang easily lost Xilong City, but fortunately Ouyang Lixing is very strong.

He didn't use Chen Ming to remind him, he kept in touch with Xilong City during the march, and there were a large number of scouts going back and forth along the way, passing back the first-hand information at any time.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing knew exactly how Xilong City was defended and lost.

In fact, just when Ning Zhenggang asked the surrounding cities to gather troops to Xilong City, Ouyang Lixing knew something was wrong.

He also climbed up from the bottom step by step, and he couldn't understand Ning Zhenggang's thoughts very well, and because of this, he knew that even if he sent someone to persuade Ning Zhenggang, it would be useless.

In the final analysis, although the two have high and low military ranks, they belong to two different provinces and have no affiliation with each other. He can give advice to Ning Zhenggang, but he cannot directly report to his own subordinates. Order.

This led to the fact that even though Ouyang Lixing discovered something wrong in Xilong City, he was helpless and could not influence Ning Zhenggang's actions.

Then all he could do was to get his side to the designated place faster, so as to dissolve the impact of Ning Zhenggang's impulsiveness.

Therefore, when Zheng Yuanyun ordered the massacre of the city, Ouyang Lixing ignored it and ordered all the soldiers to march at full speed.

Originally, he planned to give his tired soldiers a chance to breathe during the rush. At least when they arrived at the predetermined location, the recovered soldiers could immediately go into battle.

But it doesn't work now, he can only ignore the status of the soldiers, the first priority right now is to get to the border as soon as possible.

So when Zheng Yuanyun was attacking the city and plundering the land, Ouyang Lixing was fighting for time with all his strength. The road that should have taken a month to complete, finally arrived at the established border city after half a month.

Simon, Hezhu, Tianyuan, these three cities are the three border cities in the interior of Nantes province. Because they are located inland, they usually do not encounter wars, so it is conceivable that the city defenses are lax. Got it.

Fortunately, the battle ahead was defeated, and the news that the Nantes province had been invaded by the enemy had already spread throughout the province. Therefore, long ago, the city owners of these three cities were stepping up their city defense construction.

Fortunately, the three cities were far away from Xilong City, and Ning Zhenggang had not recruited the defenders away. The total strength of the three cities was also in the number of 200,000.

However, in terms of the quality of soldiers, there is no need to expect too much.

Then Ouyang Lixing rushed over. He was the commander in chief, and he arrived with over two million reinforcements. The city owners of these three small cities were not at all entangled, and they readily handed over their military power. Under the unified command of Ouyang Lixing.

The matter was urgent, and Ouyang Lixing was not polite, he directly took over the military power and the city defense, and immediately began to deploy the defense.

At the same time, a total of 200,000 soldiers from the three cities were gathered together by him, and while there was still some time, Ouyang Lixing actually started training soldiers on the eve of the war.

As the saying goes, even if you can't expect these soldiers to make a qualitative leap in this half month, it is still possible to increase their combat power by at least 10% to 20%.

So under this intensive preparation, Zheng Yuanyun's army like a sharp knife finally cut in front of the last fig leaf of Nantes province.
