The Era of Generals

Chapter 494 - Receiving Power

On the sixth day, Chen Ze arrived.

With him, there is Luo Zongbing and a hundred thousand troops.

So far, at a place fifty miles away from Juhe City, the Qingyang Empire has gathered the only troops that can still be used in Nantes Province.

It's only 600,000.

Compared with Ouyang Lixing's amount of more than one million, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious.

But Chen Ze was not worried at all.

Five days had passed, and if Ouyang Lixing wanted to take action, it should have been done a long time ago. Obviously, Ouyang Lixing made the choice that Chen Ze wanted him to make, focusing on stability.

Right now, Chen Ze's focus is on the half a million elite soldiers.

At this moment, the forces of the two sides gathered together, and all the generals of the army also gathered together, waiting for the arrival of Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing in the big tent.

However, the meaning contained in this waiting is very complicated.

Luo Zongbing is a general of the same rank as Zheng Yuanyun. After Zheng Yuanyun's death, he is the highest rank in the Qingyang Empire in Nantes Province at the moment. He will lead the rest of the troops. The generals hoped in their hearts.

After all, it will be more reliable than Ma Hui, right?

Many people thought so in their hearts, but at the same time, they did not forget the conflict between Zheng Yuanyun and Luo Zongbing back then.

They didn't know exactly why, but at that time Master Zheng ordered Ketan City to be completely sealed off, and they were the ones responsible for carrying it out!

That is to say, although they had established some friendship with Mr. Luo when they went to Xifeng City at first, but later, because of Mr. Zheng, it seemed... that they had become enemies with Mr. Luo again.

A few of them even had a violent conflict with Meng Yang at the gate of Ketan City before. Of course, the consequences were not so good.

It was said to be a violent conflict, but in fact they were the ones who were crushed from beginning to end.

But this doesn't mean that Mr. Luo won't hold grudges against them in this matter.

Youdao is the three fires for a new official to take office, and the so-called emperor and courtiers, Zheng Yuanyun's confidantes, now they fall into the hands of Luo Zongbing, what will happen?

For a moment, the entanglement in everyone's hearts could not be described in words.

On the one hand, they very much hope that someone will lead them out of the predicament at this time, and they also believe that whether it is Zongbing Luo or Chen Ze, who has shown his talent as a leader, can take on this great task.

But on the other hand, regardless of whether it is Zongbing Luo or Chen Ze, there is some hatred between them because of Zheng Yuanyun's relationship. Now that Zheng Yuanyun is dead, will Zongbing Luo or Chen Ze take the opportunity to have hatred? Revenge or complain?

This is also a problem that makes them have to think more about it.

So under the complex emotions of entanglement and apprehension, but still holding a sliver of hope, the lieutenants saw two people led by Ma Hui and leading into the big tent.

"Master Chief Soldier!"

"Master Chen..."

All the generals hurriedly got up and greeted the two of them one after another, with extremely reserved expressions.

"Long time no see, everyone."

On the other hand, Zongbing Luo looked indifferent, smiling and waving to everyone in response. His memory was also surprisingly good, and he was able to call out everyone's name accurately.

With General Soldier Luo in front, Chen Ze didn't need to say too much at this moment, he just followed behind the other party, and while responding to the crowd, he walked to the main seat with General Soldier Luo.

It wasn't until Zongbing Luo sat down that Chen Ze stood silently behind him, and the nervous exchange was over.

Everyone was silent.

Luo Zongbing, who was sitting in the main seat, also showed the aura that a general of the rank of the general army should have at this time. He sat on the spot with a golden sword on his horse, and his eyes slowly swept over the faces of every general present. After a while, Only then did he finally speak:

"It's clear to everyone."

When he said this, his tone was slightly heavy, and after waiting for all the generals to nod, he sighed: "There is a little misunderstanding between Mr. Zheng and I, but we all want to serve the empire wholeheartedly. It’s just that there are some disagreements, but unfortunately, this misunderstanding has not been resolved in time, but Mr. Zheng..."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily and shook his head slightly, his heart and face full of regret for Zheng Yuanyun.

However, only Chen Ze knew that at this moment, Zongbing Luo must have already burst into laughter in his heart, and it was hard for him to hold back his laughter while showing such a regretful and painful expression.

Those present, who are not elite figures, don't look at what Luo Zongbing said so painfully, but who can guarantee that this is not a temptation?

Whoever expresses his position or echoes at this time is a fool.

And Zongbing Luo didn't care, what he said was actually just pretending, and it was a must. It's not an exaggeration to say a word of courtesy, but in fact, he didn't have any intention of testing.

However, the reaction of the generals still satisfied him.

As a unit with the highest loyalty to Zheng Yuanyun, they were able to keep silent during the process of changing the chief general, which actually explained some problems.

"So……"

General Luo looked around again, and seeing that there was still no one to speak, he said to himself: "Unfortunately, Mr. Zheng died, and this general is not talented. He is the highest-ranking imperial general in the province of Nantes. Therefore, by this The general came to take over the military power, no one should object?"

As soon as this remark came out, the first person Luo Zongbing looked at was Ma Hui, and the latter was also clever. He immediately stepped forward, knelt down in front of Luo Zongbing, and said anxiously: "Mr. Zongbing is right. Since the last general took over the military power, he knew that he was not capable enough, and he was always worried and anxious, lest he would cause unnecessary losses to the empire."

"As for the commander-in-chief who is willing to take over the military power, the last general will be happy before it's too late, so how dare he object?"

As he said that, he actually took out the token of the general's machine from his pocket, put his hands respectfully on top of his head, and waited for General Luo to pick it up.

Luo Zongbing didn't move, he waited quietly for a while, and then said with a smile: "So, you don't object anymore?"

"Since there is no objection..."

He got up, walked slowly to Ma Hui, gently took the token of the military plane, held it high in front of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "I am not an unreasonable person, and I know that you were just relying on it before." It's all just as you ordered, so you don't have to worry about being retaliated afterwards. Of course, I don't want any people who are obedient and vicious to appear among you, so if you have any objections, you can raise them at this time, but if you don't If you don’t mention it, then this general hopes that you will work with me to tide over this difficult time together.”

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Don't express your opinion?

How could it keep you silent?

What Luo Zongbing wants to receive is the 500,000 elite soldiers here, not just soldiers, these middle-level generals are also necessary for the actions of the entire army.

He didn't want to lead an army that couldn't even follow through on orders.
