The Era of Generals

Chapter 519 - Sorrowful clouds in the city

It has to be said that Cheng Hong, as an imperial general, cannot be underestimated in his own strength.

In other words, Cheng Hong is also an indispensable and excellent general of the empire.

But such a general went to the province of Nantes to do such drudgery, and the change of defense was quite confusing.

It has been a month since Xilong City and Juhe City entered the stage of confrontation. At this time, why is it necessary to replace General Luo with another general of the same rank?

So can it be said that the status of General Luo is unusual, and the empire is afraid that he will lose?

According to this, Zongbing Luo's life is his life, but Cheng Hong's life is not his life?

Luo Zongbing can't lose, but Cheng Hong can.

Once this word is spread, what will the other generals think?

I have been a soldier for half my life, but in the eyes of the empire, I can't compare with those who are related to the royal family?

What's more, Zongbing Luo himself has no problems, but there are some problems with his family background.

Back then, because of Yan Haomiao, the Luo family had suffered a serious injury, and it could be regarded as a family that had committed crimes against the empire.

And even so, the empire would rather protect the descendants of a sinful family, and put these generals who have nothing to do with them, who have been promoted only by military exploits, to the front line to take risks?

So, the relationship is still the first, as long as he is related to the royal family, then he will receive special care?

Once this word gets out, it will be easy to say or not to hear.

Maybe it will directly lead to a big chaos of confrontation between the two parties.

Of course, it is impossible for the imperial family to sit back and let this situation arise, so if there is a sign, then maintaining stability is a must.

How to maintain it?

Of course someone had to make a sacrifice!

This person is most likely Mr. Luo!

Therefore, Hua Lao would naturally not let this kind of thing happen, so when he asked Cheng Hong to go to Nantes Province, he had a special order not to leak the inside information.

That's why Cheng Hong didn't tell him directly when he arrived in Nantes province.

In this way, the three major national divisions cannot use this as a breakthrough to fabricate a handle on Hua Lao.

What's more, they just wanted to use Chen Zelai as a breakthrough point to target Mr. Hua, but once this matter got too big, the person who would be most affected and the one who stood the most in the wind would be Zongbing Luo.

Mr. Luo has connections in Qingfeng City. This is not just casual talk. If the forces behind Mr. Luo are involved in the end, it will be a bit of a loss.

Naturally, the three great masters would not do such a stupid thing, so they probably knew the order of Cheng Hong very well, but they would not use it to chase after him.

To put it bluntly, Elder Hua has already given them enough face, and if they still hold on to this point, then they are ignorant.

Under the leadership of Mr. Jing, everyone was thinking about their own concerns, but at the same time they returned to Bo'an City unknowingly.

The wide and heavy city gate remains the same, and the bustling scene in the city is still the same. Compared with Nantes Province, which has been affected by the war, Bo'an City is certainly on the side of the war, but the atmosphere in the city is much better.

However, along the way, Chen Ze and others were able to see the hidden worry in the expressions of the people under the bustling bustle, both openly and secretly.

The news of Zheng Yuanyun's defeat had naturally spread back to Bo'an City.

Although the imperial army can still firmly occupy the four most important main cities in the province of Nantes at the moment, this is not too reassuring.

Back then Zhang Chengwang had already invaded Bo'an City, but it was still a scene of defeat like a mountain, and of course it will not be forgotten.

If the war is not over for a day, any reversal will not be surprising.

What's more, among the two million soldiers who died in battle or were captured with Zheng Yuanyun, many of them had family members in Bo'an City.

Whether my relatives are dead or alive now, and whether they can return to Bo'an City safely, these are all unknowns, how can people feel at ease?

Regarding this, Chen Ze could only sigh deeply.

To say that the culprit that led to this ending was of course him.

If it hadn't been for him to take advantage of it, Zheng Yuanyun would have taken over Nantes province by this time. Today's Bo'an City should be holding a grand celebration banquet. How could it be like this, on the surface? Under the hustle and bustle, is it full of gloomy clouds?

But can this be his fault?

Chen Ze thought that he was not yet great enough to sacrifice himself for the safety of others without hesitation.

Zheng Yuanyun's defeat was single-handedly brought about by Chen Ze, and if Zheng Yuanyun was undefeated, then he would be the one who died now!

As for the more than two million soldiers, it was the consequence of Zheng Yuanyun's defeat.

Chen Ze had already thought of this consequence when planning to go to Yinzheng Yuanyun, but what can he do?

Run to tell those soldiers, I am going to plot against your master, you will suffer disaster, so leave quickly, okay?

It is strange that someone is willing to listen to him!

In the final analysis, Chen Ze was just doing it for self-protection. Although it was not his original intention to ruin the families of these two million people, the fact was right in front of him. Although he did not regret doing so, but for the guilt of these civilians, that There are still.

Walking through the bustling market, Chen Ze sighed in his heart, all he could do was apologize silently, that's all.

When he returned to the gate of the Bo'an City Lord's Mansion, Chen Ze looked up at the huge plaque in the middle of the gate, and the words "City Lord's Mansion" were still flying like dragons and phoenixes.

It wasn't the first time he came to the City Lord's Mansion, but this time he stopped in front of the door, but it was different.

When Mr. Jing waited for the group to return, they were already seen by the guards waiting outside the mansion, and they went inside to report, and when everyone dismounted in front of the mansion gate, someone inside had already come out to greet them.

Without keeping Hua Lao waiting for a long time, Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing followed Mr. Jing to the banquet hall where Hua Lao held a banquet, and their subordinates were also led by the servants of the mansion to the side hall to catch up with the dust.

Shuttle through the city lord's mansion for a while, the three of them came to the door of the banquet hall, and only took a look inside, all of them couldn't help being stunned.

This banquet was set up for Mr. Luo and Chen Ze to welcome each other, there were no extra people in it, only Mr. Hua.

However, I don't know whether it was because they had waited too long or because Hua Lao had an alcohol addiction. When the three of them came to the banquet hall, they heard a steady snoring sound coming into their ears before the servants could report.

Looking inside, in the huge banquet hall, there is only one old man lying on the table full of delicacies, and now it is...

fast asleep.

The three looked at each other, all smiling wryly.

Mr. Hua is, as always, a good drinker, Xu Shi was bored of waiting and drank a few more glasses, and got himself completely drunk.
