The Era of Generals

Chapter 464   Worst Plan

What kind of person Chen Ze is, in fact, Ouyang Lixing already knows very clearly without having to look at it.

What this person sent Chen Minglai to say to him, including the so-called intelligence, actually didn't have any solid evidence.

But so what?

Even if all of them are false, what if one of them is true?

As long as one sentence is true, it will have an irreversible and terrible impact on Ouyang Lixing's entire decision-making. As a result, Ouyang Lixing dare not gamble at all.

At this time, Ouyang Lixing even missed the time when his military rank was not so high.

At that time, he would think more about the gains and losses of one city, one place, and one soldier, and he would not think about the deeper future.

Imperial interests?

As a low-ranking general, if he can win a battle, he is making a contribution to the empire. No matter what the final situation is, he will always contribute nothing.

But now, before making any decision, he had to think more deeply about the gains and losses after this battle. The higher the military rank, the higher the level involved, and the more heavily influenced by the empire.

Just like now, Ouyang Lixing has never really set his sights on Juhe City at all. What will affect his decision will always be the development of the situation later, and what kind of impact it will have on the empire.

Withdrawing or attacking, defending or storming, what affects his decision is only the consequences of doing so, not the benefits that doing so will bring him.

Because of this, Chen Ze firmly grasped this point, and let Chen Ming bring news that was not confirmed by Ouyang Lixing at all, but it was very likely to happen, and Ouyang Lixing had to think about it. If not, the empire will face a dilemma.

In this way, how else can he gamble?

Prepare for the worst in everything. This is the motto that Ouyang Lixing has always believed in. What Chen Ze has given him now is the worst result, forcing Ouyang Lixing to deal with it only by planning for the worst.

And this coping method, from the current point of view, can only be...

Fight for Juhe City!

Before the reinforcements arrive, use a large force to fight against Juhe City, and then kill Zheng Yuanyun. In this way, the Nantes province can be preserved!

Once Zheng Yuanyun died, the leading reinforcements would be leaderless, and this group of reinforcements came for profit. Now that Zheng Yuanyun, who can give them benefits, is gone, there is no guarantee that there will be no dissent, even if they still stay in Nantes. The province is fighting north and south, but it will no longer be monolithic.

At that time, whether he sticks to Juhe City or retreats to Tianyuan City, the pressure will be much less.

As for the reinforcements summoned by Zongbing Luo, it is first of all a follow-up. In the future, Ouyang Lixing can further weaken the reinforcements of the first batch, so that the number of reinforcements in the entire Qingyang Empire can be maintained at a safe level. on the numbers.

In this way, even if Chen Ze or Luo Zongbing had a different intention in the future and wanted to take advantage of Zheng Yuanyun's death to replace him and continue to implement the plan to capture Nantes Province, it would not be so easy.

First of all, what they need to deal with is the issue of the batch of leading reinforcements left in the province of Nantes. Although Luo Zongbing has a high rank, Ouyang Lixing also believes that the reinforcements sent from neighboring provinces will also have such People at the level of generals or general soldiers, before it is clear who is the supreme commander, who will obey whom?

Attacking the province of Nantes while infighting?

Ouyang Lixing also has a lot of troops on hand, and with the consumption of reinforcements in the early stage, he is naturally confident that he can defend the Zhu Yan Empire and send reinforcements.

And one more thing, counting from the time when the accident happened in Nantes Province, more than two months have passed now, the Zhuyan Empire has almost re-integrated and deployed resources, and the arrival of reinforcements is just around the corner. When the reinforcements from the General Soldier rushed to Nantes Province, the reinforcements from the Zhu Yan Empire were about to arrive as well.

At that time, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, and who will die!

From this point of view, attacking Juhe City will be the safest approach right now.

Although there will be a lot of losses in terms of troops, it is still worth it in spite of the subsequent developments.

Chen Ze's last sentence of cooperation wins is a promise to Ouyang Lixing that he will not take advantage of Zheng Yuanyun's death to have a different heart, and will not sever the ally relationship with Ouyang Lixing at this time.

Of course, this is another guarantee that no real evidence can be seen. Believe it or not, it is up to Ouyang Lixing to judge for himself.

Obviously, Ouyang Lixing seems to have no other choice right now.

After Chen Ming said those words, Ouyang Lixing had no intention of continuing to deal with him, but let the other party go, and on his side, he began to dispatch troops.

Ketan City.

Chen Ze waited until Chen Ming left before cutting off the communication connection with him.

This long-distance control made his poor combat achievements even worse, but it all seemed worth it.

It also made Chen Ze slightly relieved.

Although Ouyang Lixing didn't say anything, it can be seen from his subsequent arrangements that when he confronts Juhecheng next time, his offensive will definitely not be as lacking in fighting spirit as before. A real bloody battle!

This is what Chen Ze wants to see, and it is also the wave that he must let Ouyang Lixing fight under the current situation. The reinforcements are actually non-existent, but the batch of 500,000 elite soldiers actually exists.

By observing Guo Zi's movements, he knew that it would only take half a day at most. No matter how slow this group of elite soldiers walked, they would reach Juhe City. There is no way.

Ma Hui or Huang Shi, if they continue to delay, it will inevitably increase the doubts in the army. At that time, it will be bad.

So this time Chen Ze is putting all his eggs in one basket. If Ouyang Lixing is still unmoved and does not plan to take action against Juhe City, then he has no better way.

Of course, Chen Ze's situation is not as bad as Ouyang Lixing imagined.

Why did he stay in Ketan City?

That was to guard against this move, in case Ouyang Li Xing refused to cooperate, Chen Ze would just turn around and leave.

Zheng Yuanyun was busy fighting on the front line, and he had the help of half a million elite soldiers with high loyalty. How could he turn around and go back to trouble Chen Ze at this moment? Taking advantage of the time he couldn't spare, Chen Ze could go back to Ann. Luoxing Province, accept Luo Zongbing's suggestion again, stay away from this place, and go to Qingfeng City for redevelopment.

However, this is just a bad idea for Chen Ze. His main purpose is to kill Zheng Yuanyun here in Nantes province.
