The Era of Generals

Chapter 499   For

"this……"

The smile on Mr. Luo's face froze.

He originally thought that this was just Chen Ze's opening remarks, so he agreed with his previous suggestion first, and then put forward different opinions.

However……

Did Chen Ze really agree to the plan to stick to Xilong City?

This surprised Luo Zongbing.

After all, he was the one who made this suggestion, and after hearing Chen Ze's analysis of the pros and cons, he admitted in his heart that his previous ideas were not mature, and he was willing to follow Chen Ze's original plan.

His silence at this moment was just thinking about how to solve the situation in front of him, so that he could persuade the generals to go to Ketan City while he had a step down.

As a result, Chen Ze's opening actually echoed his opinion.

You must know that there are not many generals standing on Chen Ze's side. If it were not for Chen Ze's presence, their voices would have been drowned in the vast ocean.

Chen Ze agrees, so what else is there to say?

The matter is almost settled.

But... defending Xilong City?

When Zongbing Luo was stunned, he also assessed the risks in his heart, and found that just as Chen Ze said, it is far more difficult to defend Xilong City than to defend Ketan City, and it is even very likely that he will not be able to defend it.

So, isn't this strategic arrangement inconsistent with the strategy that Chen Zeda had set from the beginning?

"Everyone, if you still have different opinions, you can raise them?"

However, Chen Ze didn't even look at Zongbing Luo, but just asked the hundreds of generals present.

Among them, the generals who supported staying in Xilong City accounted for the vast majority, and they would not have any objections. The remaining small part either admired Chen Zezhong, such as Yang Mingzhong, Ma Hui, etc., or they were Conservative by nature, unwilling to take too many risks.

But no matter what, they were willing to disagree with the opinions of the majority at this time. In fact, their confidence was also because of Chen Ze.

Even though their military ranks are higher than Chen Ze's, everyone can see the importance Luo Zongbing attaches to Chen Ze along the way, and even though many decisions come from Luo Zongbing's mouth, the real proposals The person is actually Chen Ze.

Because of this, this small group of people stood behind Chen Ze and boldly put forward their own opinions.

But at this moment, Chen Ze's sudden turn also made them stunned for a while. How could there be any different opinions?

Chen Ze waited for a while and saw that no one objected, then nodded and said: "Then let's follow what the commander-in-chief said, and let's go down and arrange the defense of the city first. After all, the damage to Xilong City is relatively serious. Now that we have decided to In order to defend the city, there are some tasks that need to be made up in advance, and we still have to do it first."

As he spoke, he looked at Zongbing Luo.

"This...well, not bad, let's prepare first."

Zongbing Luo was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chen Ze was waiting for his order, so he didn't have time to think about it, nodded first, and followed Chen Ze's words.

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and for a moment they did not expect that the situation that had been blushing just now would suddenly calm down. Not only that, but there was a result in an instant, and most of them were stunned.

Immediately, seeing Mr. Luo waving his hand, he answered yes in unison with interest, and exited the military exercise room.

When only Luo Zongbing and Chen Ze were left in the entire military exercise room, Luo Zongbing smiled wryly and said, "Brother Chen, you don't have to make this decision to protect my face, do you?"

Chen Ze smiled, shook his head and said: "Lord Chief Soldier, of course I also have this intention, but this is not the main reason. The most important reason is that I think the suggestion of Lord Chief Soldier is really feasible. .”

"oh?"

Mr. Luo frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head: "No, I didn't think too much about that suggestion before, and the analysis you gave later is correct in my opinion, and at this time we If you want to defend Xilong City, it is indeed equivalent to forcing Ouyang to take action."

"With no way to retreat, the province of Nantes will definitely come to Xilong City to fight desperately. This is the decision the other party will make after receiving this news."

Zongbing Luo took a deep breath, frowned and said, "So, you don't have to comfort me anymore."

Chen Ze was speechless, thought for a while and said, "Lord Chief Soldier, since we know that defending Xilong City will lead to such a result, then would Ouyang Lixing also have thought of it?"

"Um?"

These words made Mr. Luo raise his eyebrows suddenly, pondered for a moment, and said: "You mean..."

"good!"

Chen Ze nodded and said: "It was also the Chief Soldier who reminded me that after we withdrew from Juhe City, we abandoned the city and took back our troops along the way. It was so obvious that Ouyang Lixing understood very well that we This is going to stick to the three main cities to keep some of the fruits of victory."

"Since this is the case, with Ouyang Lixing's cautious character, he will not forcefully pursue him at this time, but stick to his achievements until the Zhuyan Empire sends reinforcements."

Speaking of this point, Luo Zongbing responded slightly: "Yes, this is Ouyang Lixing's style, so I also said before that this guy is more difficult to deal with than Zheng Yuanyun or that dangerous Zhang Chengwang. "

"Because he has no desire at all, so he doesn't care what kind of bait is waiting for him in front of him. No matter what it is, he won't take the bait."

This is Zongbing Luo's evaluation of Ouyang Lixing before, and it is also the judgment made by Ouyang Lixing's actions during the cooperation between the two parties during this period.

This person is too stable, like a stone that cannot be absorbed by oil and salt, but he himself has a very strategic vision, so no matter what kind of tempting bait you throw at him, he will not take it. Being moved, he will only decide the next move of the army according to what he sees and thinks.

Like that Zhang Chengwang, because of his desire and obsession, he took risks in his military operations. He did not hesitate to risk the danger of Nantes Province, but also forcibly sent troops to Anluo Province, and the final result has become a thing of the past.

It can be said that Zhang Chengwang is a gambler, while Ouyang Lixing is just the opposite, he is more like an old monk who has no desires and desires, but gives people a feeling that he has no flaws.

However, his style of acting also has weaknesses, just like the two times Chen Ze had slapped him in the face before, it was aimed at Ouyang Lixing's style of acting, and in the end he got the result he wanted.

"So, your choice is still aimed at Ouyang?"

Mr. Luo has gradually understood what Chen Ze meant, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, in this way, the one who suffers will not be us, but Mr. Ouyang, then...he should be right What choice do you make?"
