"This kid is very smart!"

Upon hearing Xu Feng's report, Ouyang Lixing was slightly startled, then suddenly shook his head and smiled.

Unlike before, he had no ill feelings toward Chen Ze, the intruder.

In fact, if it weren't for Chen Ze, Ouyang Lixing would still be suffering from a headache.

But Chen Ze had a good idea. Once the big trouble of Bai Lie Empire was solved, the first thing Ouyang Lixing had to do was to clean up Chen Ze!

This is not to burn bridges by crossing the river, but because the Zhu Yan Empire is now stretched thin, and any thing that is beneficial to the empire, the generals below will spare no effort to do.

Although Xifeng City is an insignificant small city, it is an integral part of Fengqi Province. Now that it is occupied by the Qingyang Empire, this is like a nail that has been deeply pierced into the hearts of everyone in Fengqi Province.

If you don't remove it, it will first be a heavy blow to morale.

In addition, Xifeng City is very close to the depression where the four border cities collect grain. Now that Fengqi Province has a large number of troops converging on the border, supplies, grain, grass, etc. cannot be lost.

Therefore, Chen Ze must be beaten, but things must be prioritized. For Fengqi Province, Ouyang Lixing thought very clearly that the threat from the Qingyang Empire was actually not great.

The Qingyang Empire's current focus is on the Nantes Province, and with only the military strength of the Anluo Province, it would be the ultimate to completely occupy the Nantes Province. If they also want to attack Fengqi Province

, that would require the Qingyang Empire to mobilize a large number of troops from elsewhere.

How can it be so easy to deploy a large number of troops at this moment?

Even because of the sudden fall of the province of Nantes, this can be said to have affected the whole body, causing several major nearby provinces to start thinking, each planning the most beneficial measures for themselves.

To be honest, we don’t necessarily have soldiers.

In this case, Ouyang Lixing agreed with what Chen Ze said before.

Chen Ze said... It's the lesser of two powers that harm each other. Since one is destined to be given up now, why not give up the Nantes Province first and ensure the stability of the Fengqi Province?

The province of Nantes was not lost by Ouyang Lixing. Of course, as a neighboring province and a general under the Zhu Yan Empire, Ouyang Lixing had the obligation to regain the lost territory for the empire.

But this does not mean that he puts the province of Nantes first, or even ignores his own province of Fengqi.

If you want to regain lost territory, you must first ensure that your own territory cannot be lost, so that you can have spare energy to help neighboring provinces.

After all, Zhang Chengwang is to blame for the fall of Nantes Province. What does it have to do with Ouyang Lixing? It even almost caused disaster to Fengqi Province. His ability to hold Fengqi Province was considered a great achievement.

Well, the empire would not blame Ouyang Lixing for not going one step further and even retaking the province of Nantes.

Only when you give up can you gain. Compared with losing the province of Nantes, Ouyang Lixing was of course more concerned about the gains and losses of the province of Fengqi. This was the reason why he agreed with Chen Ze in the first place.

But it's different now.

After removing the big threat of Bai Lie Empire, even if this can be regarded as a respite created by Chen Ze for Zhu Yan Empire, Ouyang Lixing cannot sit back and watch Chen Ze occupy Xifeng City and ignore it, whether from the imperial level or

Regarding the safety of his own Fengqi province, Chen Ze became the first priority to remove.

This is an issue that Ouyang Lixing, who is good at far-sightedness, was already considering when he began to make arrangements for the Bai Lie Empire.

As a result, Chen Ze also thought of this, and while he was in a battle with the Bai Lie Empire and was unable to do anything, he actually evacuated from Xifeng City at a time that no one expected!

Not only that, he also blocked Yan Haomiao again. No matter what Chen Ze's purpose was, for Ouyang Lixing, this naturally enabled him to better destroy Yan Haomiao.

To a certain extent, Chen Ze was sending two favors to him, allowing Ouyang Lixing to handle the crisis in Fengqi Province comfortably.

Due to emotions and reasons, Ouyang Lixing seemed to have no need to pursue Chen Ze anymore.

Seeing Ouyang Lixing's expression, Xu Feng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, not for himself, but for Chen Ze.

When he was in Xifeng City before, he truly admired Chen Ze and his men. What he said to Chen Ze outside Xifeng City was also from the bottom of his heart. In addition, today he saw with his own eyes that Chen Ze also

They rushed here to intercept Yan Haomiao's army, which allowed them to win the victory so easily.

It can be said that this was all thanks to Chen Ze, who helped them. If they immediately turned their guns and attacked Chen Ze, Xu Feng thought it would be too unjust.

He was only a low- to mid-level general, and naturally he did not think as much about national affairs as Ouyang Lixing. For him, favors were more important.

"Where's Yan Haomiao?"

"What's going on now?"

After thinking about Chen Ze for a while, Ouyang Lixing asked again.

Mentioning this, Xu Feng suddenly became excited, his eyes lit up and said: "General, those people in the Bai Lie Empire can't stand it anymore!"

Immediately afterwards, he spoke very quickly and reported the latest battle situation outside to Ouyang Lixing.

Just as Ouyang Lixing expected, Yan Haomiao miscalculated the strength of his troops hidden behind this fortification, so that his desperate attempt directly hit the iron plate.

And due to Chen Ze's sudden appearance, Yan Haomiao's escape route was also blocked, and he became a turtle in a jar.

But what makes Ouyang Lixing feel lucky is...

At the beginning of the battle, Ouyang Lixing had doubts as to why the opponent's forward troops had already rushed to that position but had not yet launched a stoning offensive. Even when the whole battle was almost over, the opponent's catapult troops were like

Even if you become mute, there will usually be no movement.

Later, when I asked about it, I found out that Yan Haomiao's catapult unit had been destroyed long ago. The reason was that his own catapult unit landed on the opponent's head like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse...

Hearing this report, Ouyang Lixing himself couldn't laugh or cry. Although he had actually taken the opponent's catapult troops into consideration, it would naturally be better if he didn't, as it would allow him to lose less troops.

It can be seen that this time, even the sky wants to take Yan Haomiao away. Various unexpected situations that are unfavorable to him happen one after another. So this time, who will die if he doesn't die?

From Xu Feng, Ouyang Lixing knew that on the current battlefield, his own army was doing more to clean up the battlefield. As for the Bailie Empire's army, in addition to a large number of casualties, a small number of troops also chose to surrender.
