The cavalry belonging to Xiyun City, assigned by Chen Ze, also found an open area outside the city gate and temporarily set up a marching tent to stay.

He left these soldiers and horses in charge of Xu Qing and Meng Yang, while he only brought Li Quan'an and Chen Ming, plus He Xuan from Qilin City, and the four of them followed the fat shopkeeper to Bo'an City.

"Brother Chen, the speed at which your military ranks are promoted is a bit too fast!"

"Lao Xu, I really admire you!"

The fat shopkeeper was riding side by side with Chen Ze. He glanced at the badge representing the counselor on Chen Ze's chest and sighed sincerely.

If other generals see Chen Ze's military rank, they will feel a little contempt in their hearts. He is just a small strategist and is really nothing.

But he was different. He knew that Chen Ze didn't even have a military rank when he left Bo'an City. After going out for such a trip, this kid skipped the counselor level and was promoted to the counselor level. The speed of promotion was incredible.

Not happy.

"Your Excellency, this is a great reward."

Chen Ze smiled and said modestly: "It's just the right time."

“You have to seize the opportunity when it comes!”

The fat shopkeeper was still sighing to himself, and then said: "By the way, Mr. Hua has already read the letter you sent."

Chen Ze nodded. He had already guessed a thing or two from the sentries outside, so he asked, "What does Mr. Hua mean?"

"Elder Hua just asked me to wait for you here. For the specific situation, Brother Chen should ask him himself."

The fat shopkeeper replied.

Entering the city, the lively and prosperous Bo'an City used to be no longer exists.

Although this offensive and defensive battle has never started, there is still a lot of wartime tension.

The common people were uniformly placed in an area at the back of the city. In addition to the old, weak and young, middle-aged men were assigned to help carry supplies and make arrows, javelins and other ordnance. Women also sorted medicinal materials under the command of the logistics department.

Cooking military rations, etc. can be described as a general mobilization of the whole city.

As Chen Ze walked along the way, he could see groups of solemn-looking soldiers going back and forth everywhere, and there were also many middle- and high-level generals such as captains and governors. The entire Bo'an City was home to almost half of the military talents in Anluo Province.

In comparison, a first-class counselor like myself is nothing.

The fat shopkeeper did not lead Chen Ze and others to the military aircraft, but stopped directly outside the city lord's mansion.

The guards outside the mansion knew the fat shopkeeper, but even so, they still checked the identities of Chen Ze and others in detail. In the end, they asked Li Quanan and Chen Ming to wait outside, and only allowed Chen Ze, who had military rank.

Ze and He Xuan entered.

It was still the fat shopkeeper who led the way.

Compared with the Military Aircraft Department, which was turned into a restaurant by Mr. Hua, the Bo'an City Lord's Mansion is much more orthodox and more impressive.

After entering the gate, you go around the screen wall engraved with the Anluo landscape, and then there is a large martial arts school. The most solemn and majestic building in the city lord's palace is right behind the martial arts school.

The meeting hall.

Although Chen Ze came here for the first time, he also knew that the main hall with the word "Meeting Hall" on the horizontal plaque was where Zheng Yuanyun, the lord of Bo'an City, usually worked and handled military affairs.

He walked in with the fat shopkeeper and saw that the meeting hall was already filled with people on both sides.

As soon as he stepped in, Chen Ze was startled.

He didn't recognize most of the people inside. He could only tell from the military ranks on their chests that they were all high-ranking generals above the governor level, and not many of them had the same rank as General Zheng Yuanyun.

And among these people, he knew three of them.

One is Mr. Hua, who is sitting in the first place on the left. Even in this situation, he is still drunk and hazy. Others put tea on the table, but beside him are two large jars of spirits. Chen Ze

When he came in, he didn't even look at it.

What surprised Chen Ze was that Mr. Jing from Xiyun City was standing respectfully behind Mr. Hua. When he saw Chen Ze entering, he slightly nodded to him.

There is another one, Zheng Yuanlong, the lord of Xiyun City, who is sitting in the third seat on the right. The two people in front of him are the two highest-ranking generals in the hall.

Zheng Yuanlong was originally defending on the supply line. Chen Ze had also sent someone to report the intelligence given by Du Jun to him. With his impatience, he probably rushed to Bo'an City as soon as he received the information. Therefore, he was even more powerful than Chen Ze.

Arrived a few days first.

After entering, the fat shopkeeper bowed and saluted the man sitting at the head of the hall, and then went to stand behind Mr. Hua, leaving only Chen Ze and He Xuan standing in the hall, receiving everyone's attention.

Chen Ze was better, and He Xuan was just a small general. He had never seen so many big shots. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He stood there with his eyes and nose in mind, and he was so reserved that he didn't even dare to speak out loud.

.

Of course, everyone's attention is not on He Xuan, but on the young man with the lowest rank in the council chamber, Chen Ze, who is only a first-class counselor.

The person at the head of the hall is undoubtedly Zheng Yuanyun, the Lord of Bo'an City. His face is somewhat similar to Zheng Yuanlong, but his figure is lean and he is wearing a light blue silk satin that has not even a single wrinkle.

He is wearing a long robe and is sitting on the mayor's chair. Both his person and his clothing are meticulous.

Zheng Yuanyun looked Chen Ze up and down for a moment, then said indifferently: "Are you Chen Ze?"

With Mr. Jing and Zheng Yuanlong present, everyone in the hall must have heard about his deeds. Chen Ze did not show any timidity and calmly saluted Zheng Yuanyun and other generals. He said without being humble or arrogant: "My lord, Chen Ze, I have met you all."

grown ups."

Zheng Yuanyun looked at him for a while, then suddenly picked up a piece of letter paper from the tea table in front of him and asked: "You said that an ambush from the Zhu Yan Empire had sneaked into Anluo Province, and you wrote a letter to inform Mr. Hua.

So, is there any evidence for this?"

Chen Ze responded: "I was still doubtful about the ambush before, but now I can confirm it. General He also experienced the specific situation personally."

"Yep!"

He Xuanjian mentioned himself and hurriedly took over the conversation, "Returning to the city lord, the last general is the food guard sent by Qilin City. On the way back from Bo'an City a few days ago, he did encounter an ambush from the Zhu Yan Empire and..."

He was about to return and was ambushed, and later Chen Ze suddenly appeared with his men, and ended up destroying Zhu Yan's ambush.

With Chen Ze by his side, He Xuan didn't have the nerve to take all the credit. Overall, besides beautifying himself, the process was fairly fair.

He was only halfway through his speech, and the meeting hall was already filled with surprise. Everyone was whispering to each other, and their surprised eyes couldn't help but look at Chen Ze.

Zheng Yuanyun, however, remained silent until He Xuan told the whole story. The light in his eyes flashed rapidly for a few times, and he looked slightly sideways at the commander-in-chief who was sitting second from the right.

He said in a deep voice:

"Old Huang, what did you say?"
