Empire

The central army tent was filled with rich food and wine. The atmosphere was particularly cheerful as the insurgents killed nearly 10,000 Dynasty troops in the daytime and won a great victory, so the leaders were also very happy.

"Come on, drink!"

The leaders, whose faces were flushed with drink, kept raising their glasses. The atmosphere became more lively as the wine gurgled down their throats.

After all, they had fought fiercely for a whole day, and even the leaders had lost six men. When celebrating their victory, the surviving leaders were also glad that they had survived.

Although Chen Ziang was very hungry, he had no appetite facing the table full of wine and meat, because he had not yet recovered from the fighting. While chewing, the bloody corpses from the daytime kept appearing in his mind.

Moreover, the rebel army itself was not rich. The leaders could eat and drink as much as they wanted, but most of the rebel soldiers were half-naked and hungry. The sharp contrast made Chen Ziang feel bad.

"What, the food is not to your liking?"

Seeing Chen Ziang sitting there alone drinking dully, the leader with a goatee smiled and cast his eyes towards Chen Ziang.

""Reporting to the leader, the food is very good, I am full." Chen Ziang replied.

The leader with a goatee was named Liu Ru, the oldest and one of the three strongest leaders in their rebel army.

This was not because Liu Ru's own fighting ability was so strong, but because the strongest old battalion under the rebel army was under his command.

After Liu Ru glanced at Chen Ziang, he did not continue the topic, but changed the subject.

"Today, three thousand-man generals were killed in my old camp, which is a huge loss. Are you interested in following me in the future?" Liu Ru, the man with a goatee, asked with a smile.

"Brother Liu, you are not being righteous. Chen Ziang is my soldier. You are clearly trying to poach him.

Before Chen Ziang could answer, the burly leader Zhang Dayuan could not help but speak.

"Brother Zhang, I have no other choice. My old camp fought alone against more than 10,000 provincial guards today and suffered heavy losses. Chen Ziang was just promoted to a commander of 1,000 men, so I have a vacant position."

"No, no."

The leader Zhang Dayuan shook his head like a rattle and rejected Chen Ru's proposal to Chen Ziang.

After all, Chen Ziang was able to kill the generals and seize the flag on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people. He could be said to be a talent. He didn't want to give it to others for nothing.

"Brother Zhang, how about this? I will give you a little more of what I got during the day, and let Chen Ziang follow me in the future. How about that? Chen Ru seemed to think highly of Chen Ziang, so he offered a price.

Leader Zhang Dayuan did not expect that Chen Ru would actually use his gains to exchange for Chen Ziang, and was quite surprised.

"Are you serious?"

You know, the gains during the day were not small. If Chen Ru was really used to exchange for Chen Ziang, it would be a sure win for Zhang Dayuan.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Brother Zhang, when have you ever told a lie?" Chen Ru said with a smile.

"Since Brother Chen is so sincere, I, Zhang Dayuan, will help him and reluctantly give Chen Ziang to you."

Zhang Dayuan was overjoyed to have gained something, and after a little thought, he let go.

"Chen Ziang"

"I'm here!"

"You should follow Brother Chen from now on."

""I obey your command!"

Chen Ziang had never expected that he would be the object of a deal. While agreeing, he also smiled bitterly in his heart.

However, he learned from the memory of this body that the goatee leader Chen Ru was a good leader, and it was not a disadvantage for him to follow him temporarily.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the more than ten leaders in the central army tent were full and the topic quickly shifted to today's battle.

Although they killed nearly 10,000 Dynasty soldiers, they also suffered heavy losses.

"We have won a great victory today. We should seize the opportunity to attack the capital of the Far East Dynasty and occupy the capital to achieve great success!"

An insurgent leader was extremely confident at this moment and suggested that they should seize the opportunity to attack and win a greater victory.

"Although our army won a great victory today, we also suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the imperial dynasty’s elite troops are stationed in the capital. With our strength, we are no match for them. I suggest that we should take it slow."

Faced with the suggestion of the leader of the rebel army, the leader Chen Ru immediately raised a rebuttal.

"If we take our time and wait for other rebel forces to attack the capital first, wouldn't we be missing out on the opportunity in vain?"

"The dynasty's Black Cavalry boasts about its might, but I don't think it's anything more than that. So I think the rest of their central army is just for show. We don't need to boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige. As long as we invade the capital province, they might be so scared that they wet their pants and run for their lives."

"Yes, we should take the power of victory and attack Jingji Province directly to establish a great cause in one fell swoop!"

These leaders were a little bit arrogant because of their victory during the day and because they drank some wine.

They felt that as long as they could attack Jingji Province and capture the capital of the Far East Dynasty, they could command the uprising army all over the world and usher in a new era.

However, they underestimated the strength of the Far East Dynasty and overestimated their current combat effectiveness, which made the leader Chen Ru couldn't help shaking his head.

Although he was one of the three leaders, facing the idea that most people supported the attack on Jingji Province, he seemed powerless to stop it.

Chen Ziang also understood the current situation of the Far East Dynasty. Although uprisings broke out one after another in various provinces, the situation of the entire dynasty had been corrupted.

But the military strength of the Far East Dynasty should not be underestimated. , there are 300,000 elite central army troops stationed in the Jingji Province.

In addition, there are strong border troops in the border areas, plus the security forces of each province. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is not something that the rebels can shake.

According to Chen Ziang's idea, the rebels should not attack Jingji Province and the elite troops of the Far East Dynasty head-on, but should avoid their edge and develop their own strength.

Because there are more than just their rebels in the Far East Dynasty, their fierce battle with the elite troops of the Far East Dynasty will only benefit others.

But Chen Ziang is only a general of a thousand men now. There are dozens of officers of his level in their rebel army. He is of low rank and has little influence.

""My dear leaders, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Seeing the leaders arguing over the direction of the next battle, Chen Ziang finally couldn't help but stand up and speak. The smallest leader in the central army tent had at least thousands of soldiers under his command. Now seeing Chen Ziang, a small general with a thousand men, speaking, many people looked unhappy.
