The Era of Generals

Chapter 511 Cheng Hong's Movement

Juhe city.

Although Ouyang Lixing rejected the Zhuyan Empire's order to send troops, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the empire's placing his Fengqi Province in a later position.

But one yard counts for one yard. He will not slack off in the province of Nantes for a day, and this province will fall into the hands of the enemy.

Therefore, even though he was angry in his heart, Ouyang Lixing's defense was meticulous, such as strengthening the city defense, investigating the enemy's situation, etc., and he never relaxed in the things that should be done.

Ouyang Lixing took back most of the territory belonging to Nantes Province, the only thing missing was the four main cities and a subsidiary city further ahead of Xilong City.

That city was abandoned by Chen Ze, and it was also strictly abandoned by Ouyang.

This can be regarded as another tacit understanding between the two parties.

Just one city away, the distance between the two sides is far enough, that is to say indirectly, they are unwilling to fight.

This was Ouyang Lixing's wish, and it was also Chen Ze's wish. In the past month, both sides have grasped the distance very well, and have not exchanged fire once.

Of course, Ouyang Lixing gave up on this small town, but it doesn't mean that he won't send people to inquire about information.

Almost at the same time Cheng Hong came to Xilong City, Ouyang Lixing had already received the report.

He was not like Zheng Yuanyun, whose scout troops were completely dead at the beginning of the battle. In his hands, he still had a considerable number of scouts to use.

Although it was not as high as Chen Ming, a god-level scout, in Ouyang Lixing's mind, he was still an elite force with sufficient experience.

Therefore, as soon as Cheng Hong entered Xilong City, information about him was already on Ouyang Lixing's table.

This made Ouyang Lixing's heart sink slightly.

At this time, there was no movement on his side, and a special envoy came and was scolded by him and ran away, but on the other side, another general came?

Although according to the information, Cheng Hong's arrival did not provide more troops for Xilong City, but he did bring a lot of confidant generals.

This is no different from Hong Tianji back then. When he came to Juhe City, he was alone, except for a few soldiers who kept him safe.

So, what is the purpose of Cheng Honglai?

A general ran to Nantes province and brought a large number of generals, so he didn't bring troops?

Ouyang Lixing's sinking heart lies in this.

The situation of the Qingyang Empire has always been slightly better than that of the Zhuyan Empire. Although the defeat of Zheng Yuanyun caused the Qingyang Empire to lose a large number of elite troops, who can guarantee that the Qingyang Empire is really good for the Nantes Province? No ambition anymore?

Cheng Hong's arrival seemed to be without troops on the surface, so what about the rear where the scouts couldn't see?

Xilong City is indeed an important place. After losing Xilong City, it also means that Ouyang Lixing lost all vision of the three main cities of Ketan Xilittle after Xilong City.

The moat behind Xilong City completely divided the province of Nantes into two parts, and Chen Ze did not ignore the role of this moat. Allow an enemy scout to cross the thunder pool half a step, and inquire about the situation of the three main cities in the future.

At that time, Ouyang Lixing was very clear about Chen Ze's purpose.

He was playing a cover to prevent himself from knowing the situation of the three cities in the rear, so that he could cut off his thoughts and continue to use Juhe City as a basis to defend, instead of arbitrarily attacking Xilong without accurate information support. City shot.

Without knowing the three main cities in the rear, Ouyang Lixing rashly sent troops?

What if the other party had received support long ago, but instead of directly dispatching them to frontline cities like Xilong City, they hid behind them?

On his impulsiveness, as soon as he sent troops up, the opponent rushed out a huge new force, so didn't he throw himself into a trap?

Of course, this possibility is actually extremely small. Just looking at Chen Ze's tight defense of the moat, one can tell that his heart is empty. The most likely reason is to block the information, so that Ouyang Lixing can't figure out the truth.

Chen Ze's ability to make such a move has actually proved his own guilt. There is a more than half chance that there are no extra troops in the three main cities.

But Ouyang Lixing had no interest in this at all, and Chen Ze wanted to play tricks, so let him do it, and he only needs to make up his mind to stick to the rest of the territory.

However, at this moment, Cheng Hong came again.

Cheng Hong's arrival, I have to say, made Ouyang Lixing a little nervous.

The other party's status is not low, and he has many confidants and powerful generals under him, so he came to Xilong City like Hong Tianji, who just came to persuade him, right?

Then, what is Cheng Hong's purpose, and whether he has brought reinforcements, this has become a question for Ouyang Lixing to think about more.

After that, information came in continuously, and Ouyang Lixing felt a little heavy every time he received the information.

First of all, he was most concerned about Chen Ze's movements.

According to the reports from the scouts, since Cheng Hong's arrival, they have never seen any trace of Chen Ze at the top of Xilong City, so much so that Chen Ze disappeared under their noses!

No wonder the scouts couldn't find out about Chen Ze's situation.

You know, Chen Ze has been in Xilong City all along, at most, he went to the top of the city to inspect occasionally, which made them find that he was still in Xilong City.

And if Chen Ze didn't come out, the scouts would not be able to enter Xilong City at all.

This was a good thing Zheng Yuanyun did back then.

After a round of massacres in Xilong City, the civilians in the city fled to death, as if it was an empty city, and then Chen Ze retreated, and there were only soldiers belonging to the Qingyang Empire in Xilong City.

This made it impossible for the scouts to go deep into Xilong City, because once they entered, they would be discovered in a short time.

So in this situation, Ouyang Lixing completely lost the news about Chen Ze.

So, where did Chen Ze go?

While Ouyang Lixing was paying attention to this point, information came in one after another.

The next piece of information that made him very nervous was that on the third day after that Cheng Hong arrived, Xilong City sent troops!

Although it was not a lot, only one hundred thousand, but this was the first time in this month that Xilong City opened its gates and sent out its own army.

Their goal was very clear, and it turned out to be the small affiliated city that was abandoned by both parties with a tacit understanding, and it was also an empty city!

Cheng Hong, who took down that small city, is already separated from the troops stationed at the front by Ouyang Lixing!

What kind of signal is this sending for Ouyang Lixing?

Could it be that Cheng Hong wanted to regain Zheng Yuanyun's legacy and started to use troops against Nantes Province?
