Chapter 505 Convict first
As soon as these words came out, everyone present finally understood Cheng Hong's purpose of coming.
How could this be for Zheng Yuanyun to investigate the whole story?
In other words, this is actually just an excuse, and at the same time, it can also be regarded as a deterrent.
Chen Ze was even more open-minded.
It is estimated that in Qingfeng City, there are probably many people who are dissatisfied with Zheng Yuanyun. However, Zheng Yuanyun was very popular at that time and was a major contributor to the Nantes province, so he had to follow him no matter what.
point.
But now?
Zheng Yuanyun was not only defeated, he was defeated completely and cost his own life as well.
As the saying goes, when the body dies, the spirit disappears. Although some people were worried about him when he was alive, but after he died, who would be afraid of him?
investigation?
Not to mention that in the eyes of others, Zheng Yuanyun was the one to blame. Even if it wasn't, who would take the trouble to vindicate Zheng Yuanyun's grievances on his behalf after he died?
Is it just to prove your deep friendship?
This is not necessary.
After all, Zheng Yuanyun still does not have the influence of Hua Lao. He can have a group of die-hard loyalists who continue to follow him after he loses power. After Hua Lao ascends to the throne and calls out, they can rush to his side very quickly and are willing to listen to him.
Used.
Zheng Yuanyun's acting style is very different from Hua Lao's, which means that he will not have such die-hard loyalty.
Otherwise, how could Ma Hui, his confidant, choose the former without hesitation between his own wealth and life and Zheng Yuanyun?
Qingfeng City sent a special envoy here, apparently to investigate the cause of Zheng Yuanyun's death, but in fact, even the special envoy named Cheng Hong secretly believed that Zheng Yuanyun's death was not suspicious, so why should he?
Check what?
I will use this as an excuse, but I just want to be safe.
If this is the case, if there is really something fishy about Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, then the special envoy sent by the empire can just hammer this person who is doing things secretly and ask him not to go too far.
What about punishment?
Under the current situation, the Qingyang Empire has probably already accepted its fate and no longer thinks about taking over the province of Nantes at this time. Instead, it should preserve the existing fruits of victory and stabilize the defense of the four cities first.
it is true.
Therefore, it is naturally not a wise move to find a special envoy to cause panic at this time, but Zheng Yuanyun?
Besides being such an excuse, who will remember who he is?
Cheng Hong's disdainful words conveyed exactly this meaning to the generals present. Whether they could understand it or not depends on each person's ability to understand.
Chen Ze's ability to understand is of course first-class. It is said that he knows the elegant meaning after hearing the string. As soon as Cheng Hong said this, he immediately smiled and looked at Mr. Luo.
How could General Luo not know?
And he thought even deeper.
Cheng Hong, this person had a very close personal relationship with him when he was in Qingfeng City, otherwise the two would not be regarded as brothers. So, sending Cheng Hong as this special envoy is actually another intention expressed by Qingfeng City to him.
.
In other words, regardless of whether you, Luo Bei, are responsible for this matter, you are now the supreme commander of the local area, so we will never touch you, but you must also do your duty.
However, as soon as he knew that the person coming was Cheng Hong, General Luo had some vague suspicions about this information. Therefore, among the generals present, including Chen Ze, he was actually in the most relaxed mood.
As for others.
These people were all the old troops who followed Zheng Yuanyun earlier. Unfortunately, Zheng Yuanyun died, but they are now under the control of General Luo. They have been in charge for more than a month. The struggle and resistance in their hearts have long since disappeared.
No matter where, when I heard Cheng Hong's unkind words, I felt no emotion at all.
Oh, maybe some people would sigh for Zheng Yuanyun in their hearts to express their condolences for the general, and then nothing would happen.
No one is a fool, Cheng Hong has shown it so clearly. If they think that this person is here to clear up the grievances of Zheng Yuanyun, then they are seeing a ghost.
At this moment, if anyone wants to stand up at all costs and reveal to Cheng Hong the many suspicious things about Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, such as the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, and the fact that Zheng Yuanyun still knew that he was outmatched.
There are all kinds of strange things about clinging to Iihe City.
Anyone who dares to stand up and say this is a fool and will probably never see the sun tomorrow again.
Even Wu Peng, who had repeatedly said that Ma Hui and Huang Shi were suspicious and that he would complain to the Military Aircraft Department later and kept the evidence, at this time, he closed his mouth tightly and looked at his nose.
My heart is as silent as an old monk who has entered meditation.
Of course, no one stood up at this time and accused him of going back on his word. Whoever stands up will be the one who takes the lead. Who knows the principle of shooting the first bird?
In fact, Wu Peng or Ma Hui knew this very well and understood the thoughts of these lieutenants, so they no longer had to act at this time. Instead, they could use this opportunity to see who was still unwilling to do so.
, who would jump out and be the first person like Leng Touqing?
Fortunately, no one.
So when Cheng Hong made his attitude very clear, the atmosphere in the meeting hall became obviously much more relaxed.
"Speaking of this General Zheng..."
As the host of the scene, Mr. Luo would naturally not be silent. Since Cheng Hong had said this, he sighed softly and followed what the other party said: "What a pity..."
He shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "When he was in Ketan City, I had advised him not to be so radical and to use a steady and steady strategy to win. But unfortunately, General Zheng not only refused to listen to me, but
If so, he thought I was preventing him from establishing great achievements, and instead acted much more aggressively."
"So when I heard that he was trapped in Iai City, I wanted to send troops to rescue him, but it was too late. At least I saved these brothers and did not cause further heavy losses to our Qingyang Empire."
These brothers, of course, were referring to the lieutenants present. In just one sentence, General Luo established himself as the savior of everyone, and his image suddenly became higher.
Cheng Hong also shook his head and sighed, saying: "Oh, what a great achievement. Zheng Yuanyun had to delay his arrival for a month. If he hadn't died in Ihe City, this special envoy would have had reasons.
I doubt that this guy is a spy sent by the Zhu Yan Empire, otherwise how could he have given the other party such a precious month of respite."
The two of them are indeed familiar with each other. They know each other's thoughts after hearing what they say. They are talking to each other. This special envoy was originally here to investigate the cause of Zheng Yuanyun's defeat.
The sin was condemned.
