Chapter 156: Acting Separately
"What did you say?!"
Zheng Yuanyun's roar almost blew off the roof of the meeting hall. His sudden anger made him look more like a military general than an adviser.
Zheng Yuanlong next to him was even more direct. He pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and said in a ferocious voice: "Boy, do you know what you are talking about?"
Even Commander Luo, who had been facing Chen Ze, frowned slightly at this time and looked at Chen Ze thoughtfully, but did not speak to dissuade him.
What is Chen Ze talking about?
To put it nicely, it means withdrawing from the city, but to say it badly, it means abandoning the city and fleeing.
He actually asked Zheng Yuanyun to order all the soldiers and civilians of Bo'an City to evacuate. Doesn't this mean that he wants to hand over Bo'an City to others?
So what do those troops who gathered from all directions to support Bo'an City count?
What does it mean to persevere during this period of time?
More importantly, can Boan City really be lost?
This is the throat of Anluo Province. If the security is lost, it will be equivalent to handing over the entire Anluo Province to the Zhu Yan Empire.
If Zhu Yan Empire's more than two million troops were allowed to roam Anluo Province, how much effort would it take to drive them out?
No, not to mention the effort, it is very likely that the Anluo Province will be lost forever on the territory of the Qingyang Empire!
How can such an important place be withdrawn just by withdrawing?
Zheng Yuanyun's anger had nothing to do with personal grudges, but was all about Bo'an City.
Chen Ze waited quietly. He knew that once his request was uttered, it would inevitably provoke a strong reaction from the other party, so he did not forcefully explain anything when the other party was angry. He just waited for Zheng Yuanyun to calm down.
"Is this your retreat plan?"
Zheng Yuanyun stared at Chen Ze with blazing eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Whose army are you retreating from?"
"Of course they are soldiers of the Zhu Yan Empire."
Chen Ze said calmly: "Everything I do is also for the sake of Bo'an City. Maybe the city lord can listen to what I have to say?"
Zheng Yuanyun squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Ze deeply, and then spoke after a moment: "You can continue, but I, the city lord, want to see how wonderful your plan is!"
With that said, he waved his hand towards Zheng Yuanlong, making him stand still for the time being.
Chen Ze paused and said in a deep voice: "As I said before, if you want to reverse the situation, you must regain the initiative."
"I am requesting the city lord to evacuate the entire army and civilians of Bo'an City for this purpose!"
"Evacuate and take back the initiative?"
Zheng Yuanlong laughed angrily while listening, "So what you want is the initiative to escape?"
"No!"
Chen Ze shook his head in denial, "Now, I can explain this plan clearly to the city lord. My plan is..."

"Let's go, General Zhang wants you two to go in!"
At the same time, in Zhu Yan's camp outside Bo'an City, the soldier leader who led Guo Zi and Du Jun into the camp walked out of the commander's tent and shouted to the two people who were waiting quietly.
Guo Zi and Du Jun looked at each other and then stepped into the tent with calm expressions.
The coach's tent is very large, but the inside is very simple. It is set up directly on the grass, and there is no carpet to prevent dust and insects. If it were not for the large tent as a roof, it would be no different from the wild.
There were many advisers and generals belonging to the Zhu Yan Empire on both sides of the tent. There were no chairs, few tables, and no tea or snacks. Everyone was casual, either standing upright or sitting on the ground. There was no sign of marching or fighting.
Seeing the two people coming in, everyone's eyes were immediately turned on, and countless scrutinizing eyes fell on the faces of Guo Zi and Du Jun. If they had been more focused, they wouldn't even know where to put their hands at this time.
But Guo Zi and Du Jun seemed unaware. After entering the tent, they still maintained their calm expressions and walked step by step to the middle position facing everyone's gaze. Then they knelt down on one knee and looked towards the only person sitting in the tent.
The man on the wooden chair saluted and said: "Master Commander, I have an urgent military report!"
There is another person in the tent, it is General Zhang who is sitting astride the golden sword in the camp.
General Zhang, whose surname was Zhang Chengwang, was the city lord of Xili City, the main city of Nantes Province in the Zhu Yan Empire. His military rank was the same as that of Zheng Yuanyun, and they were both at the rank of general under the national division.
The provinces of Nantes and Anluo bordered each other, especially Xili City and Bo'an City, which were far away from each other. They were constantly at war with each other. Both Zhang Chengwang and Zheng Yuanyun regarded each other as life-long enemies.
This time, the Nantes province deployed all its troops, and the person who planned this series of ambushes was none other than Zhang Chengwang.
Zhang Chengwang was about fifty years old, with a burly build, a black face and a heavy beard. If you didn't know that he was the leading counselor in Nantes, he would have looked more like a butcher who killed pigs and sold meat in the market.
Guo Zi and Du Jun's reports did not elicit a response from Zhang Chengwang. From the moment the two entered the camp, his rough eyes had been staring at the two of them. His eyes were as sharp as two handles.
The butcher's knife seemed to want to cut open the skin and bones of the two people so that the truth inside could be seen clearly.
Guo and Du were both calm, allowing Zhang Chengwang to look him up and down without any timidity or fear on their faces.
The two sides just stared at each other in silence until a long time later, Zhang Chengwang's rough voice sounded: "You two, who is Fang Yan's subordinate?"
"Return to the coach, you are just a villain!"
Du Jun took a step forward and accepted his identity.
In fact, he was one of the 30,000 ambush troops led by Ruan Wenshan, but Guo Zi's accent was really difficult to describe. It just so happened that Ruan Wenshan did come from a place close to the Xuanjia Empire, and the two men's voices did sound rough.
Somewhat similar.
When he arrived, Du Jun, who was familiar with Ruan Wenshan's accent, had this suggestion for Guo Zi.
Zhang Chengwang looked at him deeply and said, "Since Fang Yan is not dead, why doesn't he come back by himself?"
"this……"
Du Jun smiled bitterly and hesitated: "General Fang said that there is a greater achievement waiting for him, so he sent the villain..."
"snort!"
When Zhang Chengwang heard this, a look of anger appeared on his face, and he did not shy away from the gossips of the people present. He said angrily: "This guy is so greedy for power and greed because he has some relationship with the superiors?"
Du Jun shut his mouth knowingly, as he was naturally not allowed to intervene in such matters.
In fact, when Chen Ze discovered that the one who attacked Xiyun City was just a general, he had some suspicions in his mind.
How could General Fang bear such an important responsibility with his rank?
Then there are probably some human factors involved in this, and General Fang really dared to come, and everyone can see his greed for success.
Therefore, under Chen Ze's instruction, Du Jun followed this point and immediately greatly increased the credibility of the two people's identities.
And the effect is surprisingly good.
