Chen Zejun.

After escaping from the battlefield, Chen Ze led his side of more than 500,000 troops and began to retreat.

He retreated calmly, and even only reserved a small number of scouts to monitor the surrounding areas, not caring about the possibility of being sniped by the Zhu Yan Empire in the future.

Although I have never met Commander Ouyang Chen Ze, we can tell from the other party's arrangements that he is a cautious person.

Then he would naturally think about the risks if he led his troops deep into the current province of Nantes.

You must know that the Qingyang Empire has regarded the Nantes Province as its own territory at this time. If Ouyang Lixing leads his army deep into the territory, it means that he wants to start a full-scale war with the Qingyang Empire at this time!

Although he has a large number of troops, he still has to devote energy to guarding the remaining prisoners of war in the Bailie Empire. He also has to withdraw part of his troops to station in the four border cities. Seven buckles and eight buckles. The number of troops that can be used for long-distance pursuits is actually not too many.

.

The Qingyang Empire had just won a great victory in the Anhao Province, and according to intelligence, the Anluo Province only gathered a large number of troops but did not suffer much losses.

If Ouyang Lixing wanted to pursue Chen Ze, he had to take into account the continuous reinforcements coming from Anluo Province to Nantes Province, which was a thankless task.

It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity of having just dealt with the threat from the Bailie Empire to consolidate the defense capabilities of Fengqi Province, and then plan the follow-up.

Therefore, Chen Ze didn't really believe that the other party would make such an unwise move. As for the favors he had given to the other party twice, he did not take it into consideration.

After all, Xifeng City was burned down by him. People in Fengqi Province don't know yet. In a while, when the Dong Chuang incident happens, the other party will be furious, and by then all the favors will be destroyed.

.

After marching for most of the day, as expected, no pursuing troops came from behind, and Chen Ze's troops finally arrived at Ketan City at noon on the new day.

According to Luo Zongbing and Yang Mingzhong, Zheng Yuanyun has not yet arrived, and more of the million-strong army he sent earlier is now entrenched in Ter City. This is also the case. Seeing Chen Ze and others

After returning, the garrison of Ketan City allowed the army of more than 500,000 to enter the city after a brief inspection.

Chen Ze had no intention of continuing, so he settled in Ketan City so that his soldiers could take a break after fighting all night and marching in a hurry.

Only then did Chen Ze let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Then he smiled bitterly.

When he came to Nantes, he didn't want to compete with Zheng Yuanyun at this time. After all, the two of them pursued different things, and Chen Ze couldn't clearly state what his needs were, so there was no need to confront Zheng Yuanyun head-on.

Instead, he took this opportunity to ask Hua Lao for 100,000 troops as his own team.

Originally, according to his intention, he came to the province of Nantes just for a formality. When Zheng Yuanyun arrived, he immediately resigned and left.

I believe that due to the other party's suspicion of him, Zheng Yuanyun was eager for him to leave as soon as possible so as not to steal his credit in Nantes Province again.

But who would have thought that he would meet Yan Haomiao as soon as he arrived in the province of Nantes, and the situation forced him to make a decision at that time.

As a result, he was tricked by the dishonest Yan Haomiao, forcing him to attack from afar and enter Fengqi Province, and for a time he became the target of public criticism.

During that time, Chen Ze was thinking very hard. Although it seemed that the loss was not big on the surface, only he himself understood the hardships involved.

And as the commander of an army, his words and deeds will affect the soldiers below. Therefore, Chen Ze was the one who knew the pain, and he was under great pressure during this period.

Fortunately, all this is over.

Not only did he successfully return to Nantes Province from Xifeng City, but he also managed to bite Yan Haomiao back before leaving, which was considered as a good way to get rid of his recent resentment.

Now after returning to Ketan City, Chen Ze also heard the news that Zheng Yuanyun was coming. When the other party arrived, he would have truly retired and could return to Anluo Province.

He was also exhausted both physically and mentally. After he hastily arranged the follow-up matters, Chen Ze fell asleep.

He slept very deeply during this sleep, and it was because nothing major happened. When Chen Ze woke up from his sleep, he discovered that it was already noon the next day.

As a habit, he glanced at the system map first and saw that the spies he had placed everywhere were all calm and there was no trouble, so he felt relieved.

There was nothing going on around him. He slowly got up and washed himself before Shi Shiran opened the door.

What surprised him was that someone was looking in outside the door, and his face looked a bit anxious.

"Sir, you are finally awake!"

When he saw Chen Ze coming out, he was overjoyed and hurriedly walked to Chen Ze.

This person is a follower arranged by Xu Qing to help Chen Ze. His name is Li Gu. He is staying here. Naturally, he has something to report to Chen Ze.

And it's still urgent.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ze asked with a frown.

Since something happened, he was looking outside the door without waking him up?

Li Gu saw that Chen Ze looked unhappy and said quickly: "It's the Commander-in-Chief. He said there is no need to wake up the young master, he is here for everything!"

"Lord Commander-in-Chief?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Li Gu responded: "It's Mr. Zheng, he's here!"

"Master Zheng?"

Chen Ze suddenly realized that yesterday he heard that Zheng Yuanyun was about to arrive in Nantes Province. Calculating the time, it was time to arrive.

Zheng Yuanyun is the governor of a province, so Li Gu should be anxious, but to Commander Luo, he is just an equal.

And Chen Ze could probably guess the reason why Zheng Yuanyun passed through the city of Ter and rushed to the city of Ketan as soon as he arrived in the Nantes province.

This is the time to call for punishment!

Don't forget, the 500,000 elite soldiers that Commander Luo took away from Ter City that day were forcibly handed over to Commander Luo by Yang Mingzhong regardless of Zheng Yuanyun's hidden intentions.

As for Zheng Yuanyun, of course he would not make this decision.

And what a great opportunity it was at that time. If General Luo hadn't taken away those 500,000 elite soldiers, this would have been a perfect opportunity to get rid of Chen Ze!

However, Zheng Yuanyun will naturally not speak out about this matter, but if he ruins such a good thing, there will definitely be accountability afterwards.

This is the reason why Zheng Yuanyun came to Ketan City with great momentum.

It was also the reason why General Luo didn't let Chen Ze come forward.

After all, Chen Ze is just a subordinate of Zheng Yuanyun. If he comes forward, he will inevitably have to make things difficult for Zheng Yuanyun. Moreover, the soldier was taken away by Commander Luo. If we talk about responsibility, the person who needs to be held responsible is also Commander Luo.

yes.

That's why General Luo didn't let Chen Ze come forward, and only asked Li Gu to stay at Chen Ze's door, and let him know what happened when he woke up.
