When Ouyang Lixing heard this, his eyes were cold.

He looked coldly outside the city and said in a cold voice: "Are you threatening me?"

"Where does this come from?"

Zheng Yuanyun smiled and said: "I am just stating a fact."

"General Ouyang, you are the supreme commander of Fengqi Province. Your status and power are all based on Fengqi Province. It can be said that Fengqi Province is your base camp."

"So, why would you risk your hometown being destroyed for the sake of Nantes and come to Nantes to stand out?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lixing laughed loudly and said: "Zheng Shen's words are quite funny. I, Zhu Yan Empire's own affairs, don't need Zheng Shen to worry about it."

"If you want to attack Fengqi Province, just do it. To be honest, you are a small Anluo Province, and I, Ouyang Lixing, still don't care about it!"

What he said was true.

You must know that the territory of Fengqi Province is far larger than that of Nantes Province, and it also directly confronts the Mohe Province under the Bailie Empire, which ranks first in the mainland.

If a province can be divided into main cities and subsidiary cities, of course there are also differences in size between provinces.

However, the reason why large provinces exist is because the enemy is too strong and gradually evolves into large provinces. Fengqi Province makes a living by fighting against Mohe Province.

The strength of Mohe Province will directly lead to the strength of Fengqi Province, which are mutually reinforcing.

To be honest, during this period, Ouyang Lixing actually did not look down on the Nantes Province, or even the Anluo Province of the Qingyang Empire, the main rival of the Nantes Province.

In his eyes, the confrontation between the two provinces was like a child playing house. In his eyes, as an adult, it was simply boring.

However, who could have imagined that the defeat of the Nantes Province would become a situation that affected the whole body, directly affecting his Fengqi Province, so that Ouyang Lixing, who originally looked down on the Nantes Province, now

I am running for the province of Nantes.

Isn't this a big joke?

And now, Zheng Yuanyun is using this joke to threaten him.

Ouyang Lixing sneered, looking at Zheng Yuanyun with murderous intent in his eyes.

If it had been before, he would indeed have been worried about Zheng Yuanyun's threat, because Zheng Yuanyun was right about one thing, Fengqi Province was indeed his base camp, and this was something that could never be missed.

It was because he learned that Yan Haomiao of the Bailie Empire had led his army to the Nantes Province and wanted to attack Fengqi Province from both front and rear, that he had no choice but to leave his lieutenant to garrison the main city, and he

He only took a dozen or so cavalry, lightly equipped and fast horses, and rushed to the border of the Nantes province.

Needless to say what happened next, Ouyang Lixing gathered troops as he walked. When he arrived at Dongping City, there were two to three million troops gathered along the way. Only then could he prevent Yan Haomiao's surprise attack.

Of course, Chen Ze also contributed to this, otherwise the troops he had assembled temporarily would be difficult to use without a period of time.

It is impossible to say that he is not nervous about Fengqi Province.

But Ouyang Lixing also knew very well that Chen Ze would not let Zheng Yuanyun succeed.

The reason is very simple. The more powerful Zheng Yuanyun becomes, the harder life will be for Chen Ze in the future.

Ouyang Lixing didn't just listen to the one-sided words brought by Chen Ze's people and choose to believe this person without reservation.

In fact, on the day when Chen Ming came to Dongping City, Ouyang Lixing also sent his cronies to sneak into Nantes Province to conduct counter-exploration on the situation in Ketan City.

The results had been returned to him not long ago.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing knew very well that Chen Ze was now under house arrest in Ketan City by Zheng Yuanyun, and it was impossible to get out.

When this news was passed back, the 500,000 troops temporarily commanded by Ma Hui had not yet left Ketan City, so Ketan City was still closed by Zheng Yuanyun.

At that time, Zheng Yuanyun had already taken more than two million troops to attack Xilong City.

Since Zheng Yuanyun had already decided to send troops to occupy other cities in Nantes Province, why did he still leave 500,000 troops in Ketan City?

Is he really so confident that he thinks that with two million troops, he can conquer the entire province of Nantes?

Especially when it was already known that a large number of troops from Fengqi Province had entered Nantes Province.

Moreover, what else is there to defend in Ketan City?

Even if there were, it wouldn't be worth deploying a heavy defense of half a million troops.

No, this defense is not external at all, but internal.

The scouts drew an extremely detailed picture of the situation outside Ketan City. After such a long time, the deployment of the 500,000 troops had already been clearly figured out. What was presented to Ouyang Lixing was a complete distribution map of troops.

So he saw that these 500,000 troops did not even enter the city, but stationed a large number of barracks directly outside the city. Looking at the distribution of the barracks, it did not look like they were intended to guard against enemies from outside attacking Ketan City.

It looked like he was guarding against the people inside coming out.

Another thing that can be proved is that the city of Quatan is one of the three major cities in Nantes. Its city is certainly not small. It only has 500,000 people. It is far from being unable to fit inside the city. Soldiers need to be allowed in the city.

A place to camp outside.

So why didn't they enter the city? Once they entered the city, even if there was an enemy attack, wouldn't it be more conducive to defense with the huge defensive advantages of Ketan City?

The only explanation is back to the original point. The role of their troops is not to prevent people from outside the city from attacking the city, but to prevent people from coming out from within the city!

It is even more self-evident who he is guarding against.

The scouts even provided extremely important information, that is, Chen Ze's general Meng Yang, who once amazed his own generals, had a conflict with Zheng Yuanyun's army at the gate of the city, and even lived there for a time.

At the gate of the city, the people inside paid for food and drink.

The hostility between the two sides was already obvious. Coupled with what Ouyang Lixing had learned before, he, who was always good at looking at the overall situation, believed that he had not been deceived. What Chen Ze sent his men to tell him was also in detail.

So the two people's goals are the same.

When Chen Ze had this suggestion for him, he naturally would not have thought about Zheng Yuanyun's follow-up reinforcements, so he would not be unprepared.

Then, Zheng Yuanyun's threat is not even half a threat.

His troops are here at the moment, lined up outside Tianyuan City, full of murderous intent.

Zheng Yuanyun wanted to attack Fengqi Province again, so naturally he couldn't turn around and go back. He had to rely on reinforcements to succeed.

So far, Ouyang Lixing has not received any reports of reinforcements or other troops entering the Nantes province.
