"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 139
Although Chen Ru is the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, his current strength is equal to that of Chen Ziang. When Chen Ziang brought up the topic of the commander, he was already worried.
Chen Ziang is young and vigorous, with outstanding military exploits, and now he has a lot of powerful generals under his command. Once he wants to fight for the commander-in-chief, there will inevitably be another turmoil within the Qinghe Army.
Moreover, he didn't have enough confidence to eliminate Chen Zi'ang. Even if he could defeat Chen Zi'ang and become the commander-in-chief, the Qinghe army would probably exist in name only after the internal swordsmen met.
To Chen Ru's surprise, Chen Zi'ang, a sharp young general, had no intention of seizing the commander-in-chief position, but recommended him to be the commander-in-chief instead.
Not long ago, Chen Zi'ang was still Chen Ru's right-hand man, and he was an important help in the power game between him and Marshal Zhang Dayuan and Deputy Marshal Xu Fu.
But in the blink of an eye, he and Chen Ziang no longer had the close relationship they had before, and had unknowingly come to the opposite side of the contradiction.
Facing Chen Ziang, who was holding a heavy army, what Chen Ru felt for the first time was not joy, but deep fear and worry.
Now even if Chen Ziang seems to be magnanimous and asks him to inherit the commander-in-chief and command the troops of the Qinghe Army.
But Chen Ru couldn't be happy at all, because maybe this was just Chen Ziang's temptation to him.
"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I am old, and the future of the Qinghe Army belongs to you young people. General Chen is brave and good at fighting, and he is the champion of the three armies. I think it is more convenient for him to inherit the command and command the armies." suitable."
When Chen Ru declined with a smile, he was observing Chen Ziang's reaction from the corner of his eyes.
But to his disappointment, there was no change on Chen Ziang's tough face, and he couldn't guess what Chen Ziang was thinking at the moment.
"I, Chen Ziang, are just a pawn under Chen Shuai's command to charge into the battle. No matter how great the contribution is, it is because of Chen Shuai's good command."
"I still have self-knowledge. If you want me to charge into the battle, I don't have the ability to command the armies. The new commander-in-chief must be Chen Shuai!"
Chen Ziang knew that his prestige was not as high as Chen Ru's, and he didn't want to compete with Chen Ru for the position.
Now the Qinghe army can no longer stand the toss. If they fight each other again, it will only allow the dynasty army to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Chen Ziang and Chen Ru were rejecting each other, Chen Ziang really didn't want to be, while Chen Ru was modest.
"I think you should stop refusing each other. Although the commander-in-chief is dead, he has three heirs. It would be better for the commander-in-chief's heir to inherit his will and lead us to continue the struggle."
Some generals loyal to Marshal Zhang Dayuan couldn't help jumping out at this moment, trying to elect the heir of Marshal Zhang Dayuan to the top.
After hearing the general's words, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Some people looked at the cobwebs on the roof, and some people sipped their drinks and didn't speak. The scene was cold for a while.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan had many wives and concubines, and most of them died at the hands of the Black Cavalry Army. Three of his sons served in the army under Chen Ru's command, but they were all ignorant and incompetent.
Let them walk dogs and play birds, they are proficient in everything, but they don't know anything about going into battle to kill the enemy and lead the armies.
Zhang Dayuan put them under Chen Ru's command to try to practice, but they were like mud that couldn't support the wall, and their reputation in the army was extremely bad.
These generals also crawled out of the dead, so they naturally didn't want to ride on their heads with the mud that couldn't support the wall.
They were convinced by the marshal Zhang Dayuan and were willing to obey his orders, but they were completely dissatisfied with their ignorant son.
What they want is a commander who will lead them to victory, who can overthrow the Far East dynasty, and enable them to get rid of endless oppression and live a peaceful and happy life, not a dude.
If it is true that the only surviving son of Marshal Zhang Dayuan will inherit the position, then the Qinghe Army will not be far from defeat.
Precisely because these generals are not fools, they all took a cold-eyed attitude towards this proposal, and did not express their support at all.
"The commander-in-chief treated you well back then. It is only natural to recommend the commander-in-chief's heir to inherit the commander-in-chief position. Why are you all dumb?"
Seeing that no one agreed with him, the general who made this suggestion immediately looked around, trying to seek support.
However, all the generals are able to occupy high positions. In addition to being powerful in charging and attacking, all of them are also as shrewd as monkeys.
Apart from the Qinghe army scattered in various places, Chen Ziang and Chen Ru are the strongest here.
The troops loyal to Marshal Zhang Dayuan have been completely lost in the provincial capital, and more than 50,000 people have been slaughtered by the Black Cavalry Army.
Under the circumstances of such disparity in strength, he actually jumped out to elect Zhang Dayuan's heir as the commander-in-chief. Isn't this insane?
Chen Zi'ang and Deputy Commander Chen Ru's faces were not very good-looking, because if it was true that the commander-in-chief's heir was elected as the new commander-in-chief, it would not be in their interest.
"Hahaha, come, come, let's drink and drink, today is a happy day, no military affairs, no military affairs."
The deputy commander, Chen Ru, was also cunning and cunning. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressed, he raised a wine glass and called everyone to drink.
Everyone picked up their wine glasses to drink one after another. Amidst the crisp clinking sound, they drank the hot spirits and drank their hearts full of pride.
After drinking a glass of wine, the general who was a bit out of his wits wanted to continue the topic just now, but Chen Ziang directly changed the topic.
This night, the entire city of Qingyang Prefecture was brightly lit, and the soldiers ate meat and drank heavily, relaxing for a rare time.
It's just that although the senior generals are also toasting, because of the new commander-in-chief, everyone seems to be very preoccupied.
The lively banquet did not dissipate until midnight, and all the generals returned to their respective troops one after another.
It's just that they are at this critical moment of power reshuffle, how can they sleep, and the generals they are familiar with are also discussing in private about who to elect as the new commander-in-chief.
Chen Ziang was even more straightforward. After the banquet, he did not return to his camp, but went to the place where Deputy Commander Chen Ru lived.
Chen Ziang didn't beat around the bush, and directly expressed his intention to Chen Ru, that is, he hoped to discuss with Chen Ru about the new general.
Although he was single-handedly promoted by Chen Ru, but because of the tense battle, there were actually not many opportunities to stay alone with Chen Ru and get to know each other.
Chen Ru also really wanted to know what Chen Ziang was really thinking, so after turning away from the screen, he decided to talk to Chen Ziang alone.
"Chen Shuai, our Qinghe army has gone through such a series of changes, and we can no longer stand the torment. Now Marshal Zhang and Deputy Commander Xu cannot be brought back to life. Now you are the most respected person in our Qinghe army. If you don't stand up If we come out to clean up the mess, many people will be ready to move, and the longer the delay, the worse it will be for our Qinghe Army."
"Zi Ang, you are a warrior with both civil and military skills, why are you unwilling to stand up and clean up the mess? If you are willing to stand up, I am also willing to help."
"Chen Shuai is really the last general, but I really don't want to be a commander. I just want to be a pawn for Chen Shuai to drive."
"Others are racking their brains to seize more rights and higher status, and want to enjoy glory and wealth, but you are not greedy for these. I want to know why?" Chen Ru asked puzzled.
Chen Ziang sighed and said, "Does Shuai Chen know why we raised our troops?"
"Overthrow the Far Eastern Dynasty."
Chen Ziang nodded his head: "The Far Eastern dynasty extorted and extorted, and corruption was rampant, so that the roads of rich wine and meat were frozen to death."
"We couldn't survive, so we rose up and resisted. I didn't fight for glory and wealth. I just wanted to stop the war with war, so that the people of the world could have food and clothing, so that there would be no more wars in the world, and the people of the dawn would be restored. It's just a peaceful and prosperous world." Chen Ziang said with firm eyes.
"It's a good one to end war with war."
After hearing Chen Zi'ang's words, Chen Ru was also in awe, and he also felt guilty. He just treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"We were all blinded by power, so that we forgot the original intention of raising troops."
Chen Ru said sincerely: "Zi Ang, what you said has benefited me a lot. Anyway, my old bones won't last long anyway. If that's the case, I won't refuse, but I also hope that you can help me. A helping hand."
"Willing to obey the command of the commander!"
Seeing that Chen Ru was willing to stand up and clean up the mess, Chen Ziang was also very happy, because it meant that the disintegrated Qinghe army would gather around the respected Chen Ru again to form a strong whole. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
