Chapter 228 Arrival
Chen Ze, who led his army out of the gate of Ter City, also lamented his bad luck.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him. Whether Yang Mingzhong could defend the three cities of Nantes, or whether the Qingyang Empire could seize the opportunity to seize the province of Nantes from the Zhu Yan Empire in one fell swoop, these matters had nothing to do with him.
?
Before, he was actively looking for fighters, all in order to quickly improve his combat performance so that he could buy stronger generals.
The goal was naturally achieved.
Now, not only do he have many soldiers and generals, he at least has usable generals in his hands, and he also has the powerful legendary general Zhao Yun. He still has a huge battle merit of about two million yuan in the system. For the time being, it is definitely enough for him to spend.
Sold.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Chen Ze is so proud and complacent that he doesn't want to make progress and has slacked off, but he knows very well that if he goes further, he can only do thankless things.
Judging from Zheng Yuanyun's various attitudes, this person is by no means broad-minded, and he even has a serious tendency to be jealous of talents. For Chen Ze, a low-level general who has just emerged, there is only a hint of possibility that could threaten him.
With just the first sign of dominance, he could directly start to suppress Chen Ze.
That's why he couldn't give Zheng Yuanyun any excuse to target him at this time.
Even with Chief Luo's promise, Chen Ze would regard him as his backer, but with Chief Luo's intentions unclear, Chen Ze would not be able to leave his fate in the hands of an unknown person.
.
As I said just now, this matter originally had nothing to do with him.
But right now, he is in the city of Ter, and of course in the province of Nantes. No, the city he conquered belongs to the Qingyang Empire, so Chen Ze can be considered to be in the Qingyang Empire now.
If the city in his hands was lost, Yang Mingzhong would certainly lose his credit, but Chen Ze would not be much better off either. Zheng Yuanyun would definitely use this to make a big fuss and punish him for slacking off in his duties.
Maybe in order to nail his mistakes, even his cronies like Yang Mingzhong would be implicated and punished together, and this mistake would be magnified infinitely by Zheng Yuanyun, making it impossible for Chen Ze to stand up.
Based on Chen Ze's understanding of Zheng Yuanyun over the past few days, there is a high probability that this person can do such a thing.
Once this big hat is taken off, even if General Luo is the guarantee, it will be useless. The facts are the facts after all. He and Yang Mingzhong, one is the main battle general and the other is the support general, the city was lost in the hands of the two of them.
If you don’t look for them, who should you look for?
I originally wanted to come to Ter City for a formality and take the opportunity to seize a hundred thousand elite soldiers for myself. Who would have thought that more than a million troops would appear out of thin air, which made Chen Ze helplessly frown.
.
Led by the scout named Guan Ping, Chen Ze set out from Tel City with the 100,000 elite soldiers assigned to him.
The three cities of Nantes are at the horns of each other. Even with an army of 100,000, it would only take one day if they marched with all their strength.
At this time, Ma Teng's role comes into play.
The ability of the first stage of Thousand Miles Galloping does not matter whether it is a cavalry or not, as long as it is a friendly unit, it can enjoy a 10% movement speed bonus.
This military commander's skill is simply a magical skill for marching on the road.
But in order to keep Ma Teng alive, Chen Ze had to continue to buy fragments to strengthen Ma Teng's duration.
Fortunately, he had already been strengthened once before, and his balance of military merit was sufficient at this time. He purchased tens of thousands of fragments of military merit without blinking an eye.
They set out at dawn, and with the support of Ari Ma Teng's generals' skills, they rushed from Tel City to Ketan City in the evening.
From a distance, I saw the flag of the Qingyang Empire flying above the city of Ketan under the dusk and sunset.
All the core characters who knew why they came here could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hurrying and hurrying, finally when we arrived at Ketan City, the opponent had not made any move yet.
As early as when the army set off, Chen Ze sent scouts to Ketan City to report the news. Therefore, even though they arrived unexpectedly, the defenders at the top of the city did not show any strange expressions when they saw the same flags.
When the army arrived at the foot of Ketan City, the generals in charge of the city defense came out to greet them.
This person is Yang Mingzhong's deputy, and he is also a governor-level general. He is only a small military rank behind Yang Mingzhong. His name is Bian Zhihong. At the beginning, he also knew that it was because of Chen Ze that they could come to Nantes to establish the province.
Such a great achievement.
"Brother Chen!"
Like Yang Mingzhong, Bian Zhihong was extremely polite to Chen Ze. Before the army could approach, he stepped forward to greet him and bowed his hand to Chen Ze as a courtesy.
The two of them knew each other when they were outside Bo'an City, and they were not too polite to each other.
Chen Ze rode forward to meet him, keeping a distance from the army behind him. When he came to Bian Zhihong, he lowered his voice and said, "How is the situation?"
He not only reminded Yang Mingzhong not to let the news leak out about this, but even the soldiers on his side did not know that an army of over one million people was gathering outside, otherwise he was afraid that it would cause panic.
"Someone is watching."
Bian Zhihong frowned slightly and said, "There is still no movement. These people are acting very strangely."
"However, some scouts have also seen that until now, there are still small groups of troops rushing into the canyon. It seems that their troops have not yet been fully assembled."
"besides?"
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know the number?"
At first, Guan Ping's estimate was between 1 million and 1.5 million, and the exact number was not yet clear, so Chen Ze asked this question.
"Don't dare to alert the enemy."
Bian Zhihong shook his head and said: "Our people only dare to guard the outside. It's hard to say how many are inside, but in the past few days, the total number of unknown troops that have entered the canyon one after another has exceeded 200,000.
!”
While listening to Bian Zhihong's introduction to the situation, Chen Ze ordered Xu Qing to command the soldiers to camp outside the city. He also asked Chen Ming to pick out a scout team of about a hundred people to follow Bian Zhihong into the city.
"Brother Chen, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Bian Zhihong was also at a loss to do anything about this. He knew that an unknown army had been gathering outside. He had not been eating well or sleeping well in the past few days, and he felt very haggard.
"Without further ado, I'll take someone to take a look first."
Chen Ze responded and looked back at Guo Zi, who was part of the scout team. Ma Teng's general star was attached to Guo Zi's body. From here to the canyon, there is still more than thirty miles away. With Guo Zi's speed
It will improve a lot.
In addition, when his eyes slipped, he saw that right next to Guo Zi, General Luo was disguised as a scout soldier. He took the initiative to sneak into Chen Ming's team without informing him, and seemed to want to go together.
Chen Ze was not in the mood to care about him at this time. He could follow him if he wanted.
