The Era of Generals

Chapter 435 Hidden danger

Ouyang Lixing didn't want to be an enemy of Chen Ze, and he didn't want the other party to easily become big, so he spared Zheng Yuanyun's life and didn't go after him.

Things have come to this point, to be honest, Ouyang Lixing is capable of taking down Zheng Yuanyun in one fell swoop, but taking down Zheng Yuanyun at this moment is tantamount to doing Chen Ze a big favor.

Is Chen Ze just a small co-leader?

On the surface, yes, but in fact, Ouyang Lixing knew it would never be that simple.

The matter started when Chen Ze was still in Xifeng City.

At first, Ouyang Lixing didn't care much about the Qingyang Empire's sudden occupation of this small city in his Fengqi province.

At that time, he was still on his way to Dongping City. Although he received information that Xifeng City was occupied by a Qingyang Empire army, after analyzing the situation, Ouyang Lixing also made a judgment, thinking that the other party suddenly ran to take Xiaxi Fengcheng was an extremely unwise, or in other words, a forced and helpless choice.

What's more, the enemy army in Xifeng City is only in the number of one hundred thousand, and he wants to take it back, which is only a matter of minutes.

So at that time, Ouyang Lixing directly ordered the three border cities of Fengqi to send a force to take Xifeng City back.

But what happened later, Ouyang Lixing was unexpected.

Not only did the army he sent fail to regain Xifeng City, but Chen Ze also used tricks to ruthlessly set him up. The losses were not insignificant.

That's not all, later he also got the news that the other party had a large number of reinforcements arriving, which made Ouyang Lixing even more astonished.

Is it necessary to send reinforcements to the location of Xifeng City?

Because of this, Ouyang Lixing began to pay attention to the intelligence of the coach who occupied Xifeng City at that time, and later even had contact with the envoy sent by the other party.

Since then, Ouyang Lixing no longer regards Chen Ze as just a low-ranking leader, especially when he later received information and knew that there was a Luo Zongbing behind the other party, he was even more afraid. main idea.

Chief soldier, that is the same military rank as the participating generals, and Ouyang Lixing is also a high-ranking general on the same level as him.

It was unimaginable to Ouyang Lixing that Chen Ze was followed by a general soldier.

But if there was no such general, how could Xifeng City have been supported by a large number of reinforcements at that time?

Therefore, based on Ouyang Lixing's thinking, Chen Ze's background is probably not low. He is probably a disciple sent by a wealthy family in the Qingyang Empire to practice, and the general soldier will follow and protect him.

But after a series of events, especially the fact that Chen Ze was still under the coercion of Zheng Yuanyun, Ouyang strictly denied this.

But negation is negation, but it is an indisputable fact that Chen Ze has a general soldier by his side.

Then once Zheng Yuanyun fell, he was killed in battle or lost power in the Qingyang Imperial Army, Chen Ze would most likely rise to the position quickly with the support of that general.

One must know that the other party is from the Qingyang Empire no matter what, especially after solving the big trouble of Zheng Yuanyun, is it possible that Chen Ze will not move his mind at all?

Although the current situation is somewhat tilted towards the Zhu Yan Empire, it is true that Nantes Province is occupied by the other party for more than half.

If Chen Ze wants to take over this large area of ​​territory, and even take this as an opportunity to follow Zheng Yuanyun's old path and launch an attack on Nantes Province and Ouyang, it will not be difficult to do.

Although Zheng Yuanyun lost more than half of his troops, Ouyang Lixing did not forget that Chen Ming had told him that Zheng Yuanyun's reinforcements would be delayed by Chen Ze's every means, and he would not come out to make trouble at critical moments.

The word the other side used was procrastination, not non-existence.

So there were reinforcements, but they were intercepted by Chen Ze either through tricks or through the Luo Zongbing.

Once Zheng Yuanyun is done playing, the part of the intercepted reinforcements will re-enter the territory of Nantes Province. At that time, with Chen Ze, a wise general, it may be that they will attack Nantes again. province poses a sufficient threat.

And there's a little more.

Because of the cooperation during this period, although Ouyang Lixing has been very careful, he will still reveal some necessary information to the envoy sent by Chen Ze.

That person knows, which is equivalent to Chen Ze knowing, that is to say, apart from Ouyang Lixing, Chen Ze knows the deployment of troops in Nantes province and the follow-up reinforcement plan.

With such important information grasped by the opponent, Ouyang Lixing believes that even if he is in Chen Ze's position, he can easily formulate an effective offensive strategy.

So this person has to guard against.

Ouyang Lixing, who had always been used to looking far ahead, had already looked over Zheng Yuanyun's head at this time, and fell straight on Chen Ze who had been hiding in the rear until now.

At this time, Ketan City.

"Brother Chen, what do you think is going on?"

In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Hui looked at Chen Ze with a sad face, and beside him, there were messenger soldiers who rushed to report the military situation.

"General Ma, please stay calm."

In comparison, Chen Ze's expression was much calmer.

what happened?

Of course he knows what's going on, isn't it all because of his tricks behind the scenes?

It's just that it's not easy to say that in front of Ma Hui.

So he looked at the messenger soldier, pretended to ask the situation in detail again, then frowned, shook his head and sighed: "This shouldn't be!"

"yes!"

When Ma Hui heard this, he slapped his thigh hard, and said eagerly: "Why would Mr. Zheng send someone to me to ask for half a million elite soldiers? Didn't those elite soldiers already..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the messenger soldier, and scolded, "Hey, are you sure you didn't see General Huang along the way?"

The messenger soldier also seemed a little flustered. He shook his head and said, "General Ma, I'm sure I didn't meet anyone or any troops along the way!"

"How can this be!"

"It shouldn't be!"

Ma Hui was completely in disarray, he had handed over the military power, Huang Shi didn't know where he had gone right now, and if he was held accountable afterwards, he would definitely not be able to escape.

At the beginning, he thought that it would be feasible to hand over the military power to Huang Shi, and he was finally able to escape from the intrigues. But who would have thought that this comfortable life is not long yet, and now even bigger troubles are waiting for him.

"Don't worry, General Ma, do you think it's possible that General Huang misunderstood Lord Zheng's order and went the wrong way?"

Chen Ze comforted him and said, "Perhaps when this brother came to report the news, General Huang and Master Zheng had already met?"

"this……"

Ma Hui was taken aback when he heard the words, and sighed: "Now I can only hope that this is the case."
