Chapter 494 Retreat
"Lord Commander-in-Chief!"
Wu Peng looked around and saw that all the generals were focusing on him. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He still stood as the representative of their side as the deputy generals hoped.
come out.
He took a deep breath and said with a calm expression: "Don't worry, Lord Commander, we all know the seriousness of the situation. If there were many offenses in the past, since Lord Commander doesn't want to pursue them, we have no reason to make trouble unreasonably again.
"
"We are all experienced people here, so we naturally know what impact the generals' discord will have on marching and fighting, and..."
Wu Peng looked back, nodded to everyone, and then said loudly: "Master Zheng has passed away, and now the province of Nantes is leaderless. We also hope that a general who can convince the people will stand up and lead us out.
Today's dilemma, and this person..."
"It's none other than you, Commander-in-Chief!"
As he said that, he also knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists towards Mr. Luo.
Wu Peng had discussed this matter with the lieutenants long before General Luo and Chen Ze came.
Naturally, the lieutenants did not know that Wu Peng was secretly on the same side as Ma Hui, and now they only regarded him as a representative of their own side, and could also be regarded as a leader.
Wu Peng discussed the current situation with the lieutenants and knew that no one was willing to stand up and take over this mess, and they would not be willing to let Ma Hui and Huang Shi control the military power.
Therefore, Mr. Luo is a very good candidate.
This person's military rank is high enough and his prestige among lower-level soldiers is sufficient. If he leads the troops, no one will say anything.
And with the current situation, the person who was pushed out to lead the army will most likely be the one who takes the blame and carries the thunder. As Commander Luo, is he afraid of shouldering the blame?
Of course it won't.
It would be better for him to take the lead than for his own brother to suffer.
At present, there are two aspects. First, the lieutenants must be dissatisfied with Ma Hui having always occupied the position of commander. Second, no one is willing to replace Ma Hui at this time. So taking all things into consideration, Commander Luo himself
It couldn't be more suitable.
The only concern is that they have blocked General Luo and Chen Ze in Ketan City for a period of time, so there is no guarantee that the other party will not have any intention of settling accounts later.
If the military power is handed over to the other party, and General Luo turns the tables and takes the military power first and then turns around to deal with them, who can bear this?
So this is the reason why the lieutenants did not dare to speak easily.
And since Mr. Luo has made his own guarantee, considering the other party's status, he shouldn't go back on his words, right?
As a result, Wu Peng stood up and accepted Commander Luo's proposal on behalf of the lieutenants.
But what the lieutenants didn't know was that all this was planned, whether it was Chen Ze's silence, General Luo's speech, or even Ma Hui's decisive surrender of military power, and finally Wu Peng spoke on their behalf.
, that is, sealing their mouths.
At the moment, General Luo and Chen Ze are on the same side, Ma Hui and Huang Shi are on the other side, and the lieutenants headed by Wu Peng can also be counted on the same side.
The three parties had reached a consensus at this time, and they unanimously agreed that General Luo would take over the military power.
At this point, Chen Ze, who had been silent from behind, breathed a sigh of relief.
To have the current result is naturally the most ideal state.
In fact, Chen Ze also prepared for the worst, that is, the generals did not listen to Ma Hui's orders and rushed to Juhe City to rescue Zheng Yuanyun, but in the end, he himself was also imprisoned.
In addition, even if they were deeply influenced by Zheng Yuanyun, they would not accept General Luo to lead the army, which was also a troublesome matter.
Because his military rank was not enough to command this army. Even though the lieutenants had seen Chen Ze's methods when they were in Xifeng City, they were still under the command of General Luo at that time.
For Chen Ze, I can only say that he is assisting.
Among the people present, there were many who had a higher military rank than Chen Ze. If he stepped forward to assume the leadership position, I am afraid there would be many people who would be dissatisfied.
In any case, Chen Ze is just a low-level general who has only recently begun to show his talents. To say how famous he is, in fact, it may not be possible due to Zheng Yuanyun's deliberate blockade.
Who hasn't had a good fight?
Although Chen Ze's battle in Xifeng City was good, it was not enough to conquer everyone's hearts. What's more, people with a mentality like Zheng Yuanyun would still be jealous of Chen Ze.
Therefore, it is far better for him to come forward than to let General Luo come forward.
After all, the military rank is there, or it can be suppressed. Anyone who is not convinced can think about whether he can withstand the anger of a commander-in-chief.
Fortunately, although these people are very loyal to Zheng Yuanyun, they cannot help but follow the saying that when a tree falls, the monkey scatters.
Zheng Yuanyun is dead. This is an indisputable fact. Isn't his body, which is so stuck to the armor that it can't be taken off, placed in the temporarily built mourning hall at this moment?
People will be punished by heaven and earth for their own sake. At this time, there are only a few people who want to seek justice for Zheng Yuanyun, and most of them died with Zheng Yuanyun when they were in Ihe City, and their heads are also placed in the mourning hall.
.
As for the rest of them, even if they still have the will, they still know that in the current situation, even if they call out, there may not be a crowd of people who will respond. So, why not save your time and energy.
Wouldn't it be better to keep your own life?
All kinds of circumstances were put together, and the final result was what it is now.
"The final general is willing to listen to the commander-in-chief's orders without any second thoughts!"
Led by Wu Peng, the lieutenants did not hesitate too much and immediately joined them in bowing to General Luo.
"Now that everyone has made a decision, this general will issue the first order to take over military power."
General Luo looked around at the generals and was quite satisfied with the result.
He paused, and then said in a deep voice: "I know that everyone wants to avenge Mr. Zheng, including me. However, according to the current situation, I am afraid that the first order issued by this general will be...
It will disappoint you all, that is..."
His eyes flashed slightly and he said word by word: "Retreat!"
"Return to Ketan City, stick to the existing city, and don't rush into it again!"
The whole place was silent.
Was this order surprising to everyone?
Not really.
In fact, everyone knows very well that once Mr. Luo takes power, this will inevitably happen, and this is actually what everyone wants, but no one dares to bring it up at this time, when Mr. Zheng's body is still cold.
That’s all.
Because of this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
