Xilongcheng.

In order to vent his anger, Zheng Yuanyun massacred Xilong City. As the most important place in Xilong City, the City Lord's Mansion was naturally severely damaged and has not been repaired until now.

Fortunately, the military aircraft area separated by a wall is well preserved and can be used for meetings.

At this time, Chen Ze and other generals were in the military exercise room inside the Military Aircraft Department... silent.

Everyone, including Commander Luo, and all the people with military ranks in the nearly one million-strong army gathered together. More than a hundred generals were all present in the military exercise room.

The crowd was obviously divided into two groups. A small group of them stood on Chen Ze's side, while everyone else was behind General Luo, and they seemed to be clearly divided.

This position made the two people who were pushed to be the leaders of both sides dumbfounded.

These two people are Luo Zongbing and Chen Ze.

What was originally just a dispute turned into a stalemate between all the generals.

There are those who agree with Chen Ze's statement, and there are also those who agree with General Luo's opinion. Moreover, it is obvious that because General Luo has a higher military rank, there are obviously more people on his side.

However, this side is only what the lieutenants think they are taking. Between Chen Ze and General Luo, they know very well that there is no question of whether to take sides or not.

Yes, Commander Luo made a suggestion to defend Xilong City, but after all, it was just a suggestion. Whether to listen or not, it was Chen Ze who made the final decision. Commander Luo had no idea.

Opinion.

Unfortunately, the lieutenants over-interpreted General Luo's meaning.

Originally, according to their military rank, they would never have made such strategic planning suggestions focusing on the future.

But Commander Luo casually mentioned that it is difficult to defend but must be defended anyway, so why not defend Xilong City but retreat to the next best thing, go to Ketan City and defend again?

Just this sentence, before Chen Ze could express his opinion, all the lieutenants responded in large numbers. They all thought that General Luo's words were reasonable, and they should stick to Xilong City.

It's unclear how many of them really think this should be the case, or whether there are more people who just want to flatter Mr. Luo.

But after all, there were still a small group of more conservative generals who all expressed their agreement after Chen Ze proposed that he should still retreat to Ketan City.

Chen Ze’s statement is not wrong.

Even though Xilong City was already a burned-out abandoned city at this time, due to its special geographical location, it was the first and most important city in the entire Nantes province that could not be lost.

Of course, under Zheng Yuanyun's crazy attack in the early stage, Xilong City could not be defended.

Not only Xilong City, but also the entire Nantes Province might not be able to hold it and fall to the Qingyang Empire.

In the face of losing the entire province, the loss of a Xilong city really cannot make people feel more.

But the situation now is different.

Zheng Yuanyun was defeated in Hecheng, and Ouyang Lixing annihilated Zheng Yuanyun and his troops with affordable losses, which rekindled the hope of the Zhu Yan Empire to defend the province of Nantes.

Of course, because of Ouyang's strict conservatism, they have only recovered more than half of the province of Nantes. As for the three most important main cities, they will not be able to recover them for a while.

But not being able to take it back doesn't mean they don't want to take it back.

Even in the worst possible outcome, if the Zhu Yan Empire gives up its three major cities, it must leave itself a solid barrier, which is Xilong City.

Therefore, once Xilong City is moved, it is equivalent to moving on the main artery of Nantes Province, which will force the opponent to go all out.

When Chen Ze expressed his concerns, a small number of generals who were not weak in vision immediately nodded their heads and approved of Chen Ze's statement.

As a result, Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing did not expect that the two camps suddenly became distinct.

Not long ago, the two sides had a heated argument in this military exercise room. Each one believed that his side's argument was more reasonable, and each wanted to try his best to persuade the other side to accept his side's observation of the war.

Instead, the original instigators, Chen Ze and Mr. Luo, were left aside.

This made Mr. Luo could only touch his nose and smile bitterly.

He just suddenly put forward some of his own opinions. He didn't think much about it at the time. After all, he had stayed with Chen Ze and was used to this kind of conversation mode. However, he had no intention of forcing Chen Ze. It was agreed at the beginning.

, as long as he and Chen Ze go to the province of Nantes, all decisions on the road must be made by Chen Ze.

As a result, he forgot that it was not just him and Chen Ze, but also a large group of imperial generals.

Given his status, even if he just said a punctuation mark, let alone a sentence, a lot of people would regard it as good advice.

Especially at this time, Zheng Yuanyun died, and the backer that the generals had always relied on collapsed. Some people wanted to quickly find a new backer, and as the commander-in-chief, he could easily become

This new backer was chosen.

So this result was something he didn't expect before he spoke.

In the end, the situation became what it is now. With no one able to convince anyone, the military exercise room fell into silence for a while.

Chen Ze touched his nose and felt helpless.

At this time, Commander Luo naturally could not express any more opinions. His identity was there, and no matter what he said now, it would only cause a new round of disputes.

If General Luo suddenly changes his mind and thinks that Chen Ze's words are reasonable, this will damage his prestige and make people think that he went against his word and was persuaded by a low-level general.

And if General Luo insists on his opinion, after listening to Chen Ze's analysis, he has actually realized that sticking to Xilong City is not a good choice. If he insists on doing so, it will add infinite variables to the current situation.

No matter what you choose, it's actually not very good.

So at this time, Mr. Luo wisely kept his mouth shut and did not express his opinions easily.

So if General Luo doesn't speak, Chen Ze must stand up. Otherwise, how long will this dispute last?

"Everyone..."

Chen Ze thought for a while and then slowly said: "Actually, I think the advice of the Commander-in-Chief is unreasonable."

"Um?"

As soon as these words came out, not only the deputy generals, but also Commander Luo looked up and looked at Chen Ze in surprise.

Immediately, a smile burst into Commander Luo's eyes.

He knew that Chen Ze would say this because he was trying to find a way out of himself, and it was better not to damage his prestige as the commander-in-chief.

But what Chen Ze wanted was to go further than him.
