The Era of Generals

Chapter 591 Chen Ze's plan

To be honest, who would want to give up a province without losing it?

When the Zhu Yan Empire made the decision to abandon Nantes Province, in Hua Lao's view, it was simply cutting flesh.

However, the sudden emergence of Ouyang Lixing really brought Zhu Yan Empire a big surprise.

In the eyes of the Zhu Yan Empire, Ouyang Lixing's three million troops at that time was a life-saving straw, allowing them to keep Nantes Province!

The sudden appearance of hope, coupled with the fact that Ouyang Lixing also had the title of wise general within the Zhu Yan Empire, made the Zhu Yan Empire not want to think about it at all, and no matter what the situation of Ouyang Lixing's three million troops was, So he hurriedly sent a special envoy to ask Ouyang to send troops to support Nantes province.

At that time, Zhu Yan Empire's approach was not wrong.

After all, Yan Haomiao had already left at that time, and although the Qingyang Empire had reinforcements arriving, it was the two million troops brought by Zheng Yuanyun. In terms of total force, Ouyang Lixing had the upper hand.

But Ouyang Lixing is very clear that the strength of troops is not calculated in that way.

Zheng Yuanyun came a month late, why did he come late?

Obviously, it was because Zheng Yuanyun was coordinating troops in Anluo Province, and the two million troops he rushed to Nantes Province were all selected, and their combat power was far greater than that of Ouyang Lixing. The motley crew is much higher.

It was really going to be a fight, Ouyang Lixing didn't have the confidence to fight Zheng Yuanyun at all, even if he was given a Xilong City, he didn't think he would win for sure with the strong defense of this former main city.

You know, his three million troops cannot be lost.

Once they lose, the loss will not only be as simple as the Nantes Province, the Qingyang Empire, seeing the opportunity, can even attack the Fengqi Province.

God knows how cautious Ouyang Lixing was at that time, and how unwilling to send troops.

But the facts are in front of us.

If Yan Haomiao hadn't died, he would have used an excuse to block and resist the enemy, and the Zhuyan Empire had no choice but to let him sit in Dongping City to prevent the Bailie Empire from invading.

And even if Ouyang Lixing couldn't be ordered, the Zhu Yan Empire would have to give him a great credit afterwards to reward him for his meritorious service in defending the Fengqi province.

However, Yan Haomiao was killed by him again.

This made it hard for Ouyang Lixing to ride a tiger.

And it just so happened that Chen Ze at that time came to seek a second cooperation with him. This time, the common enemy of both parties was replaced by Zheng Yuanyun instead of Yan Haomiao.

Ouyang Lixing's eyes on the situation are still very accurate, but after a little thought, and with a little information as a reference, he has already decided that Chen Ze will not be lying to him this time, this little assistant leader is real Very ambitious to kill his immediate boss.

This also allowed Ouyang to follow suit. On the one hand, he agreed to the request of the imperial special envoy, and on the other hand, he also accepted Chen Ze's suggestion, not to confront Zheng Yuanyun head-on with his troops, but to adopt a roundabout tactic.

From then on, Ouyang Lixing had the final say on the development of the situation.

Seeing that Ouyang Lixing had really stabilized the situation in Nantes Province, the Zhu Yan Empire felt more at ease and started a journey to put out the fire.

It has to be said that Ouyang Lixing contributed a lot to this battle. Among other things, until now, the Zhuyan Empire has not lost any provinces in a real sense. On this point, Ouyang Lixing can be remembered. great merit.

But so what?

Does Ouyang Lixing want this great achievement?

He has made great achievements, but he may lose his base camp. God knows how urgent Ouyang Lixing is today.

Although Cheng Hong besieged Juhe City, Hua Lao's intelligence personnel could not go deep into Juhe City to investigate Ouyang Lixing's actions at this time, but he still knew very well that Ouyang Lixing felt urgent at this moment.

Juhe city is besieged, but there will be no loss for a while, Ouyang Lixing must be clear about this.

But what he didn't know was, what happened to his Fengqi province with such a lack of news?

This is the pain point of Ouyang Lixing.

With Chen Ze's words, Hua Lao understood that what he wanted to take advantage of now was precisely the pain point of Ouyang Lixing.

But the problem is.

How to use it?

You must know that Juhe City is completely besieged at this moment. Cheng Hong did not choose to seize other cities in Nantes Province at this time, mainly because his troops have been scattered so much that he has no spare power for the time being.

After all, what he was facing was Ouyang Lixing, who was known as a wise general in Zhu Yan Empire.

Being able to achieve a full siege is all due to Chen Ze's strategy when he left. At this time, let him divide his troops to take other cities. Once Ouyang Lixing finds out the clues, he will immediately choose to counterattack and get out of trouble.

For Cheng Hong whose real purpose is in Fengqi Province, this is not a good deal.

Now he only needs to trap Ouyang Lixing. As for the capture of Fengqi Province, he doesn't have to worry about sending troops from his own empire to take it.

Then, it is conceivable that Juhe City should be completely trapped at this moment, and it is not easy for Chen Ze to get in touch with Ouyang Lixing.

What's even more difficult is, how is he going to fool Cheng Hong?

As far as Cheng Hong is concerned, he has no ambitions at all, he just needs to make Ouyang die hard, so now that he has done this, why bother to make troubles?

Cheng Hong has already completed the task assigned by the Bailie Empire very well, and he is almost stable in his hands.

Under such circumstances, Chen Ze wanted to persuade him to take a risk?

Why should Cheng Hong take risks?

But he didn't want to take risks, so he couldn't let Chen Ze create a chance for Ouyang Lixing, and if Ouyang Lixing didn't have a chance, he wouldn't be able to break out.

If Ouyang Lixing couldn't break through, he couldn't help Chen Ze, let alone the third cooperation.

It is also conceivable that Chen Ze wants to establish the third cooperation with Ouyang Lixing, it must be because of Ouyang Lixing's status as the supreme commander of Fengqi Province.

As long as Ouyang Lixing was allowed to return to Fengqi Province, it would be possible for him to mobilize troops to rescue those hostages, leaving the Bailie Empire helpless.

But apart from Cheng Hong's problem, there is actually another problem lying in the middle.

That is, will Ouyang Lixing trust Chen Ze?

Today is different from the past. The former Ouyang Lixing had chips in his hands, and the cooperation should have been based on a situation that is beneficial to both parties.

Now Ouyang Lixing is hard to protect himself, Chen Ze came to tell him, I will help you, after the matter is done, you only need to help me rescue more than 2,000 hostages.

Would Ouyang Lixing not doubt such a condition of not being treated?

Those more than two thousand Xuanjia elites are very important to Mr. Hua, and they seem to be very important to Chen Ze, but to Ouyang Lixing, they are just more than two thousand big soldiers!
