The Era of Generals

Chapter 502   Unable to wait for support

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was a bit oppressive.

Following Ouyang Lixing's slightly angry words, for a while, Hong Tianji didn't know how to respond.

How could he not know about Ouyang Lixing's concerns?

He even came from the imperial capital, and he is more aware of the current situation among the provinces of the Zhuyan Empire. Therefore, how could he not know the current situation of Fengqi Province?

It was precisely because of knowing that Hong Tianji was deeply troubled.

You must know that Fengqi Province is also in a state of war at this moment, but until now, it can still persist, not as bad as the situation in Nantes Province.

But this is not the only thing that can be said, Fengqi Province can sit back and relax.

Ouyang Lixing has been able to patiently assist the defense in the province of Nantes until now, which is already very good. Thinking about it in another way, Hong Tianji thinks that if he is in Ouyang Lixing's position, he probably should win In Juhe City, after Zheng Yuanyun was dealt with, he could not wait to return to Fengqi Province for support.

As for Ouyang Lixing's ability to stay until now, this is considered as the utmost benevolence, and you want to ask the other party to do more?

He even wanted Ouyang Lixing to use the troops originally planned to return to Fengqi Province as the vanguard to continue to attack the rest of the Qingyang Empire. How could Ouyang Lixing agree to this?

Not to mention that Ouyang Li Xing refused, even when Hong Tianji received the order from the empire, he was at a loss for a moment. Thinking about it in another way, even Hong Tianji refused!

No matter how well defended the province of Nantes is, it is only support, and his own base camp is lost. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Furthermore, even if Ouyang Lixing tried his best not to want the Fengqi Province, and forcibly kept the Nantes Province, then he would sit in the Nantes Province and become the supreme commander of the Nantes Province, and give up Fengqi Xing Province?

Isn't this sick?

Fengqi Province is vast in land and resources, much larger than Nantes Province. Just looking at the total number of troops that Ouyang Lixing can command, it is almost double that of Zhang Chengwang.

Is it too small to lose the big?

No one wants to change whoever will change it!

Ouyang Li Xing's anger is certainly an anger, but it is not incomprehensible.

He has devoted all his energy in the Nantes province, and has been defending it until now. What he thinks in his heart is to insist on waiting until the empire sends reinforcements to replace him, and then he can rush back to Fengqi province to support him?

As a result, Hong Tianji, the special envoy of the empire, came, but he did not bring the reinforcements that Ouyang Lixing was looking forward to, and what he said meant more than he said, especially when he mentioned that the Qingyang Empire was currently preparing to garrison Xilong City.

Ouyang Lixing is not an idiot, he didn't understand when he heard this, not only did the empire not prepare reinforcements for him in the past two months, but they even planned to continue to use him as a weapon to make him continue to work hard for the province of Nantes .

This is a typical behavior of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Although the Fengqi Province is also raging with war, but fortunately, it has not reached the point of life and death so far, so the Zhuyan Empire will naturally consider sending limited reinforcements to provinces that need more support at this moment go.

However, Nantes Province, which was originally in the most tense situation, has now become a sub-stressed area where you can breathe a sigh of relief because of Ouyang's strict enforcement, and there is no plan to send reinforcements for the time being.

To be honest, this is unfair to Ouyang Lixing, at least Hong Tianji thinks so.

But he also knew that Zhu Yan Empire's arrangement was not to punish Ouyang on purpose, or to take this opportunity to kill him, but just because...it was too much to take care of.

Right now, the Zhuyan Empire can only send limited reinforcements to places where they are most needed. There is Ouyang Lixing in the Nantes Province to help defend. support.

As for Fengqi Province... Isn't it still able to hold on?

This is what the empire means now, and it is also the reason why Hong Tianji appears here.

Therefore, even though he knew that Ouyang Lixing was already very upset, Hong Tianji could only bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Ouyang, I believe you can also see that if Xilong City is occupied by the Qingyang Empire, it will be very difficult for the Nantes province of our country. The risk can be said to be extremely high, not only that, but once the Nantes Province may be breached in the future, it will also affect the Fengqi Province!"

The two provinces are adjacent, if there is a problem in Nantes Province, life in Fengqi Province will not be easy in the future, what Hong Tianji said is correct.

It's just that in Ouyang Lixing's ears, he can only hug it with a sneer.

"Will Fengqi Province be affected?"

Ouyang Lixing's face was indifferent, and he paused every word: "Do you think that Fengqi Province is not affected now?"

"Did Zhang Chengwang consider the safety of neighboring provinces when he made that decision?"

"Has he ever thought that my Fengqi Province will also be affected by his decision?"

"Now he's dead, he's dead, and we living people should be struggling for his decision?"

"Hong Tianji, let me tell you, even if you are going to break the sky today, I will never send troops. In Xilong City, the Qingyang Empire will take it if it wants. How can I think so much at the moment!"

In the last sentence, Ouyang Lixing changed his previous refined temperament, not only exhaled fragrantly, but even disregarded the identity of the other party, and pointed his nose at him and scolded him.

The scolding made Hong Tianji's face turn blue and red, and it could be seen that he was also angered by the scolding, and when his chest heaved violently, he was about to explode.

But in the end, he still endured the breath.

Is Ouyang Lixing right?

not at all.

After all, he has helped the province of Nantes through the most difficult juncture, and the battle in the province of Nantes has actually entered the stage of confrontation. In other words, no one can do anything to others.

Qingyang Empire will not be able to continue to increase troops to Nantes Province in a short period of time, otherwise Zhuyan Empire will fall into the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers to use?

It is precisely because the Qingyang Empire is also constantly putting pressure on the Zhuyan Empire on other fronts, so the Zhuyan Empire is like a fire brigade at this time, rushing to wherever it is in danger.

Therefore, Qingyang Empire's troops in Nantes province at the moment are just over one million troops.

There is no more threat!

Ouyang Lixing could see very clearly that the big deal for the opponent was to stick to Xilong City or the three main cities, but what about continuing to attack?

It doesn't matter who he is in Juhe City, it doesn't matter who it is, whether it's General Luo, or Chen Ze, whom Ouyang Lixing values ​​very much.

He has such self-confidence that no one can take advantage of the Ihe City he guards!

However, what the empire wants him to do now is not to stick to it.
