Chapter 504: See the wind and make the rudder
As soon as Cheng Hong finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present, including Commander Luo, shifted slightly in the same direction.
As a special envoy who could be sent and a general at the rank of general, Cheng Hong's perception was so keen that he immediately looked in the same direction.
Then he saw that at the head of the main seat, the young man with the co-sign on his chest was also looking at him.
"this……"
Cheng Hong didn't come unprepared. In fact, from the moment he entered the meeting hall, he noticed this young man who seemed to be insignificant, but was actually the vague leader of the generals present.
At this moment, when he made his intention clear, everyone's eyes turned slightly towards him, which further confirmed Cheng Hong's thoughts.
"This must be little brother Chen Zechen?"
Cheng Hong didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded at Chen Ze, making it impossible to see through his inner thoughts.
"Master Cheng, you are very polite. The next call is Chen Ze!"
Chen Ze bowed slightly and bowed to Cheng Hong with his fists raised, but other than that, he didn't say anything else.
Whether the other party can see something or not, it doesn't have much impact on Chen Ze. It's just that the water will flood the ground and the soldiers will block it.
As for Cheng Hong's statement that he was here to investigate Zheng Yuanyun's death in battle, this has nothing to do with him.
Since he dared to do such a thing in the first place, he had already thought of a way out. No matter where Cheng Hong wanted to start, Chen Ze had a way to deal with it.
Furthermore, no matter what, the first person Cheng Hong wants to ask will never be him!
From the beginning to the end of this matter, Chen Ze never showed up publicly. He was always giving instructions secretly.
Moreover, this command method is also very contrary to the cognition of people in this world. It uses a system to simulate the highly technologically advanced communication method in his previous life.
If this can be seen by others, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the system?
Sure enough, after Cheng Hong said hello to Chen Ze, he really didn't continue the topic. Instead, it seemed that compared to investigating the incident of Zheng Yuanyun, it was Chen Ze who impressed Cheng Hong more.
Be more interested.
"Brother Chen, I, Cheng, have heard of your name even in Qingfeng City!"
Cheng Hong laughed loudly, picked up the teacup on the table and gestured to Chen Ze, as if he was using tea instead of wine, and toasted Chen Ze from afar.
"Qingfeng City?"
Chen Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but glance at Mr. Luo.
Commander Luo also looked puzzled and said: "Brother Cheng, Brother Chen is certainly not bad, but after all, his military rank is still young and he has not made any great achievements. Why is there his name in Qingfeng City?"
He originally thought that after this matter was over, he would introduce Chen Ze's achievements to Qingfeng City. After all, although the Nantes Province was not captured, the four main cities were actually in his hands.
No matter what, the credit is still great.
Taking control of Xilong City is equivalent to smashing the door of Nantes Province and keeping it open at night. As long as you are willing, you can walk in through the door at any time and give Nantes a hard blow.
Save a punch.
Although Commander Luo was the highest-ranking general among the generals at the scene after Zheng Yuanyun's death, and was also the supreme commander in public, he was not prepared to take the credit.
After he can go back, he will put all the credit for Zheng Yuanyun's death on Chen Ze's head, and use this to push Chen Ze to the stage of Qingfeng City.
But he never thought that before he could start taking action, Qingfeng City would already have Chen Ze's name?
Cheng Hong looked at the confusion of General Luo and Chen Ze and laughed loudly: "Brother Luo, is it possible that even you think that Zheng Yuanyun can cover his hand with one hand?"
"When Nantes Province invaded, Zheng Yuanyun defended Bo'an City with all his strength, but Zhang Chengwang almost took advantage of it and invaded Anluo Province from the flank. Fortunately, little brother Chen saw through the opponent's plot in time.
This has changed the fate of Anluo Province. Qingfeng City has long known about this!"
Cheng Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "Zheng Yuanyun is very happy with his achievements, and he likes to form cliques for personal gain. How could he hide these things from Qingfeng City? As for later, he took more than half of the credit that belonged to little brother Chen, and took it all on himself.
Qingfeng City naturally sees all these things."
"It's just that due to his status at that time, and the fat province of Nantes in front of him, the matter was temporarily shelved, and only after the success of Nantes Province, the empire will discuss the merits in the future.
Among all the rewards, Brother Chen’s contribution will never be forgotten.”
Although his words were spoken beautifully and his face looked extremely sincere, however, when Commander Luo and Chen Ze heard it, in addition to clearing up their doubts, it was more of a sneer in their hearts.
Rewards based on merit?
Haven't forgotten?
If Zheng Yuanyun had not died, would Chen Ze still hear such words?
of course not!
Cheng Hong's words are nothing more than proof that Zheng Yuanyun's actions were actually not beyond the surveillance of the Qingyang Empire, but if he were to be honest, he would remember Chen Ze's contribution and reward him afterwards.
I'm afraid this may not be the case.
Zheng Yuanyun is still here, and he is the supreme commander of the Anluo Province. If he wins the Nantes Province, then he will be the super general of the two major provinces. His power is only that of
The national advisor and the general.
For such an unrivaled figure, the empire would offend him in person for a small co-leader, slap Zheng Yuanyun in the face, and say that half of your achievements actually belong to Chen Ze!
Will it?
That is to say, Zheng Yuanyun died, and Cheng Hong came to Xilong City. In addition to investigating the reasons for Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, it was probably because there were updated instructions from the empire.
Otherwise, he is a dignified general whose rank is even one or two levels higher than General Luo, so why would he say such flattering words?
To put it bluntly, it’s just a tree falling and the hozens scattering.
"I see!"
General Luo is also a good person. Although he doesn't agree with the empire's actions, he doesn't show anything at the moment. He only laughs and says: "Brother Chen, you heard me, gold will never be buried."
, your talents have actually been in the eyes of the empire for a long time."
"Then I have to thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your support."
Chen Ze smiled and followed General Luo's words. The two exchanged a haha, then looked at each other, and General Luo said: "Brother Cheng, you said Qingfeng City asked you to investigate Zheng Yuan."
Is it possible that someone in Qingfeng City thinks something is wrong about the reason for Yun’s defeat?”
"Is there something different?"
