The Era of Generals

Chapter 504 Qingyang Special Envoy

Another month passed in a flash.

It is no exaggeration to say that this month has been calm.

Xilong City, the former main city that originally belonged to the Zhuyan Empire's Nantes Province, is now firmly occupied by the Qingyang Empire.

On the side of Ouyang Lixing, after all, he still did not send troops to take back Xilong City, but let Chen Ze lead an army of one million to guard this existence that can be called the lifeline of Nantes Province.

Even if Xilong City could not be taken back, let alone the three main cities of Ketan, Xili and Tel after it.

So far, it is estimated that the Zhu Yan Empire has also acquiesced to this result, and has no intention of regaining it for a while.

And everyone knows that the longer the time drags on, the more slim the chance of regaining these four cities. After all the dust settles, if the Zhuyan Empire wants to do something in the future, it will have to spend more than ten times the energy and price to do it. arrive.

All of this was caused by Ouyang Lixing's refusal to send troops.

Even though the Zhu Yan Empire sent a special envoy to urge Ouyang Lixing to send troops, even so, Ouyang Lixing still resisted the pressure and directly rejected the special envoy Hong Tianji's request.

In desperation, Hong Tianji had no choice but to go back and report. What he brought back should have angered the royal family, but when the court received Hong Tianji's reply, the reaction it made was the same as Hong Tianji's response in Juhe City City Lord's Mansion. The reaction is the same.

It can only be a wry smile.

That's right, this matter is really difficult for others. If Ouyang Lixing agrees, it will certainly let the empire breathe a sigh of relief, but if they don't agree, they can't reprimand Ouyang Lixing too much at this time.

After all, they still have to rely on Ouyang Lixing to withstand the pressure from Anluo Province. Although they can't achieve their ideal result now, Ouyang Lixing still took back more than half of the territory of Nantes Province for the empire. , and more importantly, it also temporarily calmed down the war in Nantes Province.

This made Zhu Yan Empire's situation on the mainland much better after all.

You must know that all of this started with the fall of Nantes Province. To this day, there are still countless pairs of eyes on the side of Nantes Province, and they calculate their own gains and losses through the situation of Nantes Province. .

Nantes province can be stabilized, which will undoubtedly make the secretive people lose a lot of calculations, and it can be said that the situation of the Zhuyan Empire has been stabilized.

At this time, no matter what the empire said, they would never dare to turn against Ouyang Lixing. Once this wise general was cornered, he let go and went straight back to Fengqi Province. Thinking that he could no longer survive in the Zhuyan Empire, he turned his head and fell to the Qingyang Empire...

Based on Ouyang Lixing's power at this time and his importance in Nantes Province, it can be said that as long as Ouyang Lixing surrenders to the enemy, the subsequent consequence will be the complete collapse of Nantes Province!

It is also conceivable that if Ouyang Lixing revealed this intention, what kind of super treatment he would receive from the Qingyang Empire.

So, it's not impossible.

A super high-ranking general like Ouyang Lixing is something that every empire wants to win over, not to mention that Ouyang Lixing can bring a super gift to the Qingyang Empire.

Based on this consideration, how dare the Zhu Yan Empire force Ouyang to do it?

When Hong Tianji was sent there, he wanted to use the friendship between the two of them and the righteousness of the country to show love and reason for Ouyang Li's actions.

However, Ouyang Lixing didn't like him at all.

This is also the most troublesome point for Ouyang Lixing when he was an enemy.

No matter what you say or how you do it, Ouyang Lixing has his own measure in mind. He will not affect his judgment due to external factors, nor will he affect the final decision due to some external factors.

In the end, Zhu Yan Empire gave in and did not continue to force Ouyang to do it.

Of course, there are no reinforcements, not because they don't want to, but because they really don't, they can only rely on Ouyang Lixing to continue working in the Nantes province.

In this way, a whole month has passed, and the situation has not changed in any way.

Ouyang Lixing was still stationed in Juhe City, while Chen Ze was also stationed in Xilong City.

The only difference may be that the city defenses of Xilong City are getting stronger and stronger. In this month, Chen Ze has not been idle, repairing and strengthening the once destroyed walls of Xilong City bit by bit. The city defense, at least now, has recovered to 70% of the thickness of the city defense before the city was slaughtered.

And as time goes by, it also indicates that the chances of the Zhu Yan Empire to take back Xilong City are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Of course, at such a time, Ouyang would not move, and Chen Ze would not move either.

It's not bad to be able to occupy another main city-level city, at least in the future Qingyang Empire's credit will be thin, and Chen Ze will have another one.

So, today, a month later, the Qingyang Empire finally sent an envoy.

At this moment, in the conference hall of Xilong City, a group of generals headed by Luo Zongbing gathered together, and everyone's eyes were on the middle-aged man in purple robe who was sitting at the head of the guest seat.

"Brother Luo, I didn't expect that we would meet here."

The middle-aged man in the purple robe looked very kind, and his attitude towards Mr. Luo was also very good. On the surface, he seemed to be a nice guy.

Zongbing Luo also smiled slightly: "Brother Cheng, we haven't seen each other for a while."

"Isn't it?"

The middle-aged man in the purple robe was called Cheng Hong, and on his chest was the Qingyang Empire's unique military rank logo, and his military rank was also that of a general.

He looked at Zongbing Luo, and said with a smile: "The reason why I haven't seen you for a while is not that Brother Luo, you have been traveling all year round, but what my old Cheng didn't expect is that you actually went to the province of Nantes to become the highest Commander, tsk tsk, are you going to go one step further?"

Mr. Luo waved his hands and said: "Brother Cheng is joking, don't you know what kind of person I am, my Luo family, how can I go further?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cheng Hong hesitated for a while, and then he coughed twice, as if he remembered some past events, which caused a look of embarrassment to appear on his face.

"Brother Luo, I'm not..."

Cheng Hong wanted to explain, but before he could speak, General Luo had already interrupted him, and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, you and I don't need to make such unnecessary explanations."

As soon as the voice changed, Mr. Luo thought for a while and asked again: "Brother Cheng is here this time, but what instructions do you have at home?"

You must know that Cheng Hong, as the special envoy of the empire, came all the way to Nantes province, so naturally he didn't come to greet Mr. Luo, he came with new instructions from the Qingyang Empire.

Cheng Hong straightened his face when he heard the words, and after sweeping around the generals in the hall, he said in a deep voice, "I am here this time because I was ordered by the empire to investigate the death of General Zheng!"
