The Era of Generals

Chapter 441 - Hole Card

"My lord, now I have a chance to wipe out Zheng Yuanyun's troops!"

In Tianyuan City, Chen Ming begged to see Ouyang Lixing.

"oh?"

Ouyang Lixing glanced at him unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, it seems that there is something wrong with you calling your coach so directly?"

Chen Ming's face darkened, and he said: "General Soldier Ouyang, the matter has come to this point, it seems that we don't need to make excuses anymore, right?"

It is true that Zheng Yuanyun was the coach of their attack on Nantes province, but up to now, Chen Ze has fully revealed his position. As the representative of Chen Ze faction on Ouyang Lixing's side, Chen Ming naturally does not need to Again dodging.

But Ouyang Lixing still took this as an issue, apparently not interested in the opportunity Chen Ming mentioned.

This also showed Ouyang Lixing's position. Ouyang Lixing was not very keen on annihilating Zheng Yuanyun's troops.

For him, Zheng Yuanyun is not a threat right now, but Chen Ze, who has been behind the scenes, makes him feel a hint of threat.

For Ouyang Lixing, it is best to maintain the status quo.

On the one hand, Zheng Yuanyun has no power to fight for the time being. On the other hand, although the province of Nantes cannot be fully recovered, it is not really related to Ouyang Lixing. He only needs to guard the door and wait until his reinforcements arrive. That's it.

Instead, he sent out troops easily. Of course, chasing and killing Zheng Yuanyun would be fun, but who knows what tricks Chen Ze will play behind his back?

When the time comes to get him into the routine, the gain outweighs the loss.

So why do you have to fight Zheng Yuanyun?

Ouyang Lixing has always been fighting against the Bailie Empire. He is really indifferent to the generals of the Qingyang Empire. It is not like Zhang Chengwang and Zheng Yuanyun. The two have fought countless battles. They have long been enemies of life and death, as long as there is a chance to put the other party to death, no matter whether it is Zheng Yuanyun or Zhang Chengwang, they will not hesitate to do it.

Ouyang Lixing didn't have such a big hatred, on the contrary, he really wanted Zheng Yuanyun to restrain Chen Ze, so that he could benefit later, this is the best result.

He had already planned in his heart, regarding Chen Ming's proposal... No, even Chen Ming hadn't spoken out his proposal yet, Ouyang Lixing looked like he was not interested.

He is not the one who needs to worry now.

Ouyang Lixing, who has always seen far away, naturally understood that the person who should be anxious now should be Chen Ze.

Is he crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?

Ouyang Lixing thought about it and decided.

But this is no wonder to him, after all, both sides are their masters, so naturally they have to consider for their own empire.

Sending out troops now, of course, can accept Zheng Yuanyun, but Ouyang Lixing believes that it is impossible for him to have no losses. Considering that the reinforcements from the opponent will be faster than his own, he thinks that this kind of loss can still be saved.

And his strategy, even the envoy sent by the empire to supervise the battle, thought there was no problem. You must know that the envoy still strongly advocated that Ouyang send troops to retake Nantes province.

Seeing what Chen Ming wanted to say, Ouyang waved his hands vigorously and said, "Brother Chen, you have also seen that although I have a large number of troops, I haven't had a good rest these days, let alone not long ago. There has been a dramatic battle, and it is really not suitable to send troops right now."

"Of course, I also think it should be a good opportunity right now, but unfortunately, this general is really powerless."

Saying that, Ouyang Lixing shrugged his shoulders with regret and helplessness on his face.

Chen Ming didn't speak again, just lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Of course, this is just the appearance that Ouyang Lixing saw. In fact, Chen Ming lowered his head and was communicating with Chen Ze who was far away in Ketan City.

When Chen Ming came over just now, Chen Ze had already turned on the video communication function, and Ouyang Lixing's performance did not exceed Chen Ze's expectations.

In fact, if Chen Ze were to choose, he would probably make the same choice as Ouyang Lixing.

But unfortunately, he is not in Ouyang Lixing's position, on the contrary, he is now in the opposite of Ouyang Lixing.

In terms of the situation, it is true that Chen Ze is in the upper hand right now, but it is embarrassing that this can only be achieved by using some strategies.

Zheng Yuanyun has no soldiers?

How could it not?

At least, the half a million elite soldiers are the most loyal army under Zheng Yuanyun's command, and at the same time, they are also the army with the most outstanding combat power.

For this army, Chen Ze really had no good solution, so he asked Huang Shi to take this army away.

But how long can Huang Shi delay?

I have been drilling in remote places in the province of Nantes like this for a long time, and everyone knows that there will be problems.

At that time, it is not impossible for all the generals to unite to question Huang Shi, or even directly seize his military power, and come out of the hiding place to join Zheng Yuanyun.

And once this army joins Zheng Yuanyun, there is a high probability that Zheng Yuanyun will see through everything that he has done before. At that time, Chen Ze estimates that Zheng Yuanyun will be so angry that he will directly ignore the gains and losses of Nantes Province. Instead, he led his army back to attack Ketan City.

How many troops does Chen Ze have?

Including the 100,000 that Huang Shi brought, it was only nearly 200,000. No matter in terms of quantity or quality, it was not at the same level as Zheng Yuanyun.

So it can't be delayed now.

However, if he wanted to really kill Zheng Yuanyun, the soldiers of the Qingyang Empire must not be used in this matter. In any case, Zheng Yuanyun was the supreme commander who had been deeply involved in Anluo Province for many years.

If Chen Ze led his troops to face Zheng Yuanyun head-on, maybe when the battle was fierce, if one of his generals rebelled or something, Chen Ze would definitely not be able to bear it.

Therefore, this matter can only be done through Ouyang Lixing's troops, and the name is also justified.

For this reason, Chen Ze kept letting Zhang Hualin hide by the side of Zheng Yuanyun's troops, not daring to leave for a moment, just wanting to grasp Zheng Yuanyun's movements at the first time, so as to facilitate Ouyang Lixing to do things.

However, Ouyang Li Xing remained unmoved?

It doesn't matter.

Chen Ze smiled coldly, and things seemed to go back to the time when he cooperated with Yan Haomiao back then, and he became that poor guy who was put on the stage after being used up.

It's a pity that the current him is no longer the one who was forced to the extreme by Yan Haomiao back then. Chen Ze, who had already prepared his backup, was not surprised by this result.

So, he asked Chen Ming to state another fact to Ouyang.

"Lord Chief Soldier, before, Master Chen sent a message to his subordinates through a special communication method."

Chen Ming, who received an opportunity from Chen Ze, said slowly, "According to Mr. Chen, the spies he placed outside Ketan City found a troop marching towards Dongping City. The number is about 500,000! "
