The Era of Generals

Chapter 495 - Retreat

"Master Chief Soldier!"

Wu Peng looked left and right, seeing that all the generals focused their eyes on him, he couldn't help but sneered, but he didn't show anything on his face, he still stood as the representative of their side as the lieutenants hoped. come out.

He took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Master Chief Soldier, don't worry, we all know the seriousness, and since there were many offenses at the beginning, since Lord Chief Soldier didn't want to pursue it, we definitely have no reason to make trouble for no reason. "

"The discord between the generals and the impact of marching and fighting will be brought about. All of us here are experienced people, so they are naturally very clear, and..."

Wu Peng glanced back, nodded to everyone, and then said loudly: "Master Zheng has passed away, and now Nantes province can be said to have no leader. We also really hope that there will be a general who can convince the crowd to stand up and lead us out. Today's predicament, and this person..."

"It's none other than you, Lord Chief Soldier!"

As he said that, he also knelt on one knee and clasped his fists at Zongbing Luo.

Wu Peng had discussed this matter with the lieutenants long before Luo Zongbing and Chen Zelai.

Naturally, the deputy generals didn't know that Wu Peng and Ma Hui were in the same group in private, and now they only regarded him as a representative of their own side, and he could also be regarded as a leader.

Wu Peng discussed the current situation with the lieutenants, and he also knew that no one is willing to stand up to take over this mess, and if Ma Hui and Huang Shi are allowed to hold the military power all the time, they will be very unwilling.

Therefore, Luo Zongbing is a very good candidate.

This person's military rank is high enough, and he has enough prestige among the low-level soldiers. If he leads the troops, no one will say anything.

Moreover, given the current situation, the person who was pushed out to command the army would most likely be the one to carry the thunder. As Luo Zongbing, was he afraid of carrying the thunder?

Of course not.

It's better to have him to stand in front of him than his own brother to suffer this crime.

At present, there are two aspects. First, the lieutenants must not accept that Ma Hui has always occupied the position of coach. Second, no one is willing to replace Ma Hui at this time. It couldn't be more suitable.

The only concern was that they had blocked Zongbing Luo and Chen Ze in Ketan City for a period of time, so there was no guarantee that the other party would not have the intention to settle accounts later.

If the military power is handed over to the other party, and Luo Zongbing gives a false pretense, first takes the military power and then turns around to deal with them, who can bear it?

So this is why the lieutenants dare not speak easily.

And since Zongbing Luo has already made his own promise, as far as the other party is concerned, he will not go back on his word, right?

As a result, Wu Peng stood up and accepted Luo Zongbing's proposal on behalf of the lieutenants.

But what the deputy generals didn't know was that all of this was planned, whether it was Chen Ze's silence, Luo Zongbing's speech, or even Ma Hui's resolute surrender of military power, and finally Wu Peng would speak for them , that is, to shut their mouths.

Right now, General Luo and Chen Ze count as one side, Ma Hui and Huang Shi count as one side, and the lieutenants headed by Wu Peng also count as one side.

The three parties reached a consensus at this time, and agreed that General Luo would take over the military power.

At this point, Chen Ze, who had been silent at the back, also heaved a sigh of relief.

Being able to have the current result is naturally the most ideal state.

In fact, Chen Ze had also prepared for the worst, that is, the generals did not obey Ma Hui's order and forcibly rushed to Juhe City to rescue Zheng Yuanyun, but in the end he was also deeply imprisoned.

In addition, they were deeply influenced by Zheng Yuanyun, and they refused to accept Luo Zongbing as the commander of the army, which was also a troublesome matter.

Because his military rank is not enough to command this army. Even though the lieutenants had seen Chen Ze's methods when they were in Xifeng City, they were still under the command of General Luo at that time. For Chen Ze, it can only be said to be assistance.

Among the people present, there are many people who are of a higher rank than Chen Ze. If he takes the position of commander, I am afraid that there will be many people who are dissatisfied.

Anyway, Chen Ze is just a low-ranking general who has only recently started to show his talents. If you want to say how famous he is, it may not be true under Zheng Yuanyun's deliberate blockade.

Who hasn't had a good game yet?

Chen Ze's first battle in Xifeng City was good, but it was not enough to conquer everyone's hearts. What's more, there will be people with Zheng Yuanyun's mentality who will still have a jealous heart towards Chen Ze.

So it is far better for him to come forward than to let Mr. Luo come forward.

After all, the military rank is there, and it can also be suppressed. Anyone who is not convinced can worry about whether he can bear the anger of a general.

Fortunately, although these people have a high degree of loyalty to Zheng Yuanyun, they cannot avoid a common saying, which is called the tree falls and the monkey scatter.

It is an indisputable fact that Zheng Yuanyun is dead. Isn't his corpse, which is so glued to the armor that it cannot be removed, placed in the temporary mourning hall at this moment?

People don't kill themselves, at this time, there are only a few who want to get justice for Zheng Yuanyun, and most of them died with Zheng Yuanyun when they were in Juhe City, and their heads are also placed in the mourning hall .

As for the rest, even if you still have the heart, you know that in the current situation, even if you call from the top, there may not be a crowd of people who respond, so why not save your energy.

Isn't it good to keep your own life?

All kinds of situations are added together, and the final result is what it is now.

"The last general is willing to listen to the orders of the commander-in-chief, and he has no second thoughts!"

Led by Wu Peng, the lieutenants didn't get too entangled. They immediately joined him and bowed to Luo Zongbing for accepting his head.

"Now that everyone has made a decision, this general will issue the first order to take over the military power."

Luo Zongbing looked around at the generals and was quite satisfied with the result.

He paused, then said in a deep voice: "I know that everyone really wants to avenge Master Zheng, including me, but according to the current situation, the first order issued by this general may be It will disappoint you all, that is..."

His eyes flickered slightly, and he paused word by word: "Retreat!"

"Return to Ketan City, stick to the existing city, and stop rushing in!"

The audience is silent.

Was this order beyond everyone's expectations?

not.

In fact, everyone is very clear that once General Luo takes power, it will inevitably be such a result, and this is actually what everyone wishes, but no one dares to bring it up at this time, when Mr. Zheng's bones are still cold That's all.

Because of this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, who is willing to really disregard their own wealth and life, and only want to avenge Master Zheng with all their blood?
