The Era of Generals

Chapter 508 - The Man in the Dark

Overkill?

Cheng Hong didn't give an answer to this question, but just smiled meaningfully, which made Zongbing Luo confused.

Afterwards, Cheng Hong declined Zongbing Luo's proposal to clean up the dust on the pretext of being tired from traveling and traveling, and went back to the guest room to rest on his own.

Now that he left, the lieutenants had no reason to stay any longer, but they were also confused when they left.

When Cheng Hong first arrived, they thought he was sent by the empire to avenge Master Zheng.

Although the generals under the leadership of Luo Zongbing seem to have accepted this reality and stopped talking, but in fact, in their hearts, there may be a touch of unwillingness.

Zheng Yuanyun has been deeply involved in Anluo province for many years, and these people have more or less interacted with him, and even spent a lot of effort to gain Zheng Yuanyun's favor and trust.

It can be said that they were able to take the position of Zheng Yuanyun's confidantes because they had racked their brains, and many of them even spent a lot of money to please this lord.

As a result, he just died.

With this death, wouldn't all of his thoughts be in vain?

How can this make people feel depressed?

Furthermore, although they are now under the banner of Zongbing Luo, after all, Zongbing Luo is not a local general of Anluo Province, but a foreign general.

It is impossible for General Yiluo to treat them all as confidantes. He may take away one or two of them, but not all of them.

Therefore, after they return to Anluo Province, they will have to face another successor coach appointed by the empire. By then, the resources invested in Zheng Yuanyun in the early stage will be in vain, and they will have to go bankrupt Again.

It would be annoyed to change anyone.

So the empire sent a special envoy to investigate the cause of Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, and the generals thought they would vent their anger!

After all, Mr. Zheng's various operations before his defeat were too confusing. Even the middle-level generals, who were far less knowledgeable than generals, felt that there was something wrong. So how could Mr. Zheng make such a judgment?

If there is no ghost in this, they must not believe it, otherwise they would not have recommended Wu Peng to confront Ma Hui, and kept the evidence to go back to Bo'an City and go to the Military Aircraft Department to read a book.

As a result, before they could go back, the empire sent people here first. They thought there was something to be done, but in the end it seemed that they were still on the side of Mr. Luo.

This also caused a haze in the hearts of the deputy generals. They didn't even dare to imagine what kind of tragedy would happen if they really went to the military aircraft department to complain?

The fate of life is gone, so... you should keep your tail between your legs and be a human being, right?

All the lieutenants felt sorry for each other, and most of them had already made a decision the moment they stepped out of the meeting hall.

This unwillingness can only be buried deep in my heart.

Regardless of what the lieutenants were thinking, even Luo Zongbing had an unclear expression on his face.

He and Chen Ze were alone, and they were still staying in the meeting hall. It was not until everyone had left that General Luo turned his gaze to Chen Ze and asked softly, "What do you think about this matter? "

Chen Ze smiled and said, "My lord, isn't it what we've always hoped for to have this result?"

"As that General Cheng said, we ate meat, but he came to drink soup."

Zongbing Luo frowned slightly, and couldn't help saying: "That's all?"

No matter how you look at this matter, it seems to be of great benefit to them, but after a trip to Nantes province, Mr. Luo got used to being like Chen Ze, thinking of the worst in everything .

Such a thing that made it clear that they would take advantage of it made him dare not believe it.

Even that Cheng Hong had a brotherhood with him when he was in Qingfeng City.

"I think……"

Chen Ze rubbed his brows, his expression became serious, he paused and said, "Someone should be helping us!"

"Someone help us?"

Zongbing Luo frowned slightly, quickly ran through his network resources in his mind, then shook his head, and said: "I can't think of anyone who has such great energy at this time, who can give us Get out."

Originally, this matter is of great importance, so Cheng Hong said that he wanted to drink some soup, but how could this soup be so delicious?

Still the same problem.

What if the Zhuyan Empire deployed its manpower ahead of the Qingyang Empire and came to Nantes Province to support them?

Even the situation in Xilong City is far less stable than that of Juhe City. Mr. Luo estimated that even if neither side has any reinforcements coming, if Juhe City wants to attack Xilong City, it is all right. Can beat it.

If Cheng Hong stays here, he is stepping on a steel wire, and the boat may capsize at any time.

Such a big risk, how can it be made up for with a sip of soup?

At that time, General Luo will pat his ass and leave, and the credit for winning the four major cities in Nantes province will be secured, but what about Cheng Hong?

He had to continue to be on guard in Xilong City, always on guard against sudden attacks from the Zhu Yan Empire.

If this was an eventuality, he fell.

The responsibility for the ineffective defense of the city will be entirely on his head, and has nothing to do with Luo Zongbing at all.

Compared with the responsibility for this mistake, the small amount of credit for the successful defense of the city cannot be compared at all.

If Cheng Hong really wanted to do this, he would lose the watermelon and come to pick up sesame seeds, there is no need at all.

Therefore, when Chen Ze said that someone was helping them, Zongbing Luo thought it was very possible, but at the same time, he couldn't figure out who would help them at this time?

Mr. Luo thought about his personal connections. It's not like there are people with such great energy who can persuade the royal family and even invite a general to replace him, but it seems...they didn't. The reason for doing it?

As for Chen Ze, Zongbing Luo didn't even think about it.

It's not that I look down on Chen Ze, but from the reality, with Chen Ze's military rank, he almost just showed his head and feet from the Anluo Province, and he has limited contacts. People who would do this for him can Said almost none.

The only possible one is Hua Lao, who was once the great general of the empire.

It's a pity that Mr. Hua retired many years ago. Although there are faint signs of a comeback now, Mr. Luo also understands very well that once Mr. Hua proposes to come back, the first thing he needs to face is the three major national divisions. super power.

One must know that Hua Lao's territory back then was all in the hands of the three great masters. It was easy to eat it, but it was even more difficult to spit it out.

Therefore, if Mr. Hua stood up, his situation would be a hundred times worse than that of their Nantes province. He might not be able to protect himself, let alone stand up for others.

So, who could it be?
