"Lord Commander-in-Chief, there is a chance to annihilate Zheng Yuanyun's troops now!"

In Tianyuan City, Chen Ming asked to see Ouyang Lixing.

"oh?"

Ouyang Lixing glanced at him leisurely and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, does it seem inappropriate for you to address your coach so directly?"

Chen Ming's face darkened and he said: "Commander Ouyang, things have come to this point. It seems that there is no need for us to make excuses anymore, right?"

It is true that Zheng Yuanyun was the coach of their attack on Nantes Province, but as of now, Chen Ze has fully revealed his position. As the representative of Chen Ze faction on Ouyang Lixing's side, Chen Ming naturally does not need to

Dodging again.

But Ouyang Lixing still used this as an excuse, obviously not interested in the opportunity mentioned by Chen Ming.

This also shows Ouyang Lixing's position. Ouyang Lixing is not very enthusiastic about annihilating Zheng Yuanyun's troops.

For him, Zheng Yuanyun is not a threat at the moment, but Chen Ze, who has been behind the scenes, makes him feel a hint of threat.

For Ouyang Lixing, it is best to maintain the status quo now.

On the one hand, Zheng Yuanyun has no strength to fight for the time being. On the other hand, although Nantes Province cannot be fully recovered, it does not concern Ouyang Lixing. He only needs to hold on to the door and wait until his own reinforcements arrive.

That’s it.

Instead, it was easy to send troops. Of course, it would be fun to chase Zheng Yuanyun, but who knows what tricks Chen Ze will play behind his back?

When the time comes to trick him into it, the gain outweighs the loss.

So why must we fight Zheng Yuanyun?

Ouyang Lixing has been facing off against the Bai Lie Empire. He really has no interest in the generals of the Qingyang Empire, unlike Zhang Chengwang who has Zheng Yuanyun. The two have fought countless battles. In addition to the interests of each other's empires, they also

They have become life-and-death enemies for a long time. As long as there is a chance to kill each other, both Zheng Yuanyun and Zhang Chengwang will not hesitate to do it.

Ouyang Lixing didn't have such a big hatred. On the contrary, he wanted Zheng Yuanyun to restrain Chen Ze so that he could benefit from it later. This would be the best result.

He had already made plans in his mind. Regarding Chen Ming's proposal... no, Chen Ming hadn't even said his proposal yet, and Ouyang Lixing looked like he was lacking in interest.

He is not the one who needs to worry now.

Ouyang Lixing, who always saw far away, naturally understood that the person who should be anxious now was Chen Ze.

Does this count as burning bridges?

Ouyang Lixing thought for a while and settled.

But it's not his fault. After all, both sides have their own masters, and naturally they have to consider their own empires.

Although he could take Zheng Yuanyun back by sending troops rashly now, Ouyang Lixing believed that he would not suffer losses. Considering that the opponent's reinforcements would arrive faster than his own, he believed that such losses could still be saved.

Moreover, even the envoy sent by the empire to supervise the war thought there was no problem with his strategy. You must know that the previous envoy still strongly advocated for Ouyang Lixing to send troops to retake the province of Nantes.

Seeing what Chen Ming wanted to say, Ouyang Lixing waved his hand and said: "Brother Chen, you have also seen that although I have many troops here, I have not had a good rest these days, let alone not long ago.

There has been a dramatic battle, and it is really not suitable to send troops now."

"Of course, I also think that now should be a good opportunity, but unfortunately, this general is really powerless."

As he said that, Ouyang Lixing shrugged, with a look of regret and helplessness on his face.

Chen Ming didn't speak again, he just lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Of course, this was just the appearance that Ouyang Lixing saw. In fact, Chen Ming lowered his head and was communicating with Chen Ze who was far away in Ketan City.

When Chen Ming came over just now, Chen Ze had already turned on the video communication function. Ouyang Lixing's performance was not beyond Chen Ze's expectation.

In fact, if Chen Ze were to choose, he would probably make the same choice as Ouyang Lixing.

But unfortunately, he is not in Ouyang Lixing's position. On the contrary, he is now on the opposite side of Ouyang Lixing.

In terms of the situation, Chen Ze does have the upper hand at the moment, but what is embarrassing is that this was achieved through the use of some strategies.

Zheng Yuanyun has no soldiers?

How could it not be?

At least, those 500,000 elite soldiers were the most loyal unit under Zheng Yuanyun, and at the same time, they were also the unit with the most outstanding combat capabilities.

Chen Ze really had no good solution for this troop, so he asked Huang Shi to take this troop away.

But how much longer can Huang Shi delay?

Having been drilling in remote places in Nantes for a long time, everyone knew there would be problems.

It is not impossible for the generals to unite to interrogate Huang Shi, or even directly seize his military power and come out of hiding to join Zheng Yuanyun.

Once this army joins Zheng Yuanyun, there is a high probability that Zheng Yuanyun will know everything he has done before. By then, Chen Ze estimates that Zheng Yuanyun will be so angry that he will simply ignore the gains and losses of Nantes Province.

Instead, he led his army back to attack Ketan City.

How many troops does Chen Ze have?

Including the 100,000 that Huang Shi brought, it was only close to 200,000. In terms of quantity and quality, it was not at the same level as Zheng Yuanyun.

So we can't delay it now.

But if you want to really kill Zheng Yuanyun, you must not use the soldiers of the Qingyang Empire. In any case, Zheng Yuanyun is the top commander who has been deeply involved in Anluo Province for many years.

If Chen Ze were to lead a head-on confrontation with Zheng Yuanyun with the troops at hand, maybe when the battle was fierce, one of his generals might rebel or something, which Chen Ze would definitely not be able to bear.

Therefore, this matter can only be accomplished through the troops Ouyang Lixing has at hand, and it is also logical to change the name.

For this reason, Chen Ze kept Zhang Hualin hidden beside Zheng Yuanyun's troops and did not dare to leave for a moment. He just wanted to grasp Zheng Yuanyun's movements as soon as possible so that Ouyang Lixing could do his work more conveniently.

But Ouyang Lixing remained unmoved?

No problem.

Chen Ze smiled coldly. Things seemed to be back to when he cooperated with Yan Haomiao. He became the poor guy who was put on the table again after being used.

It's a pity that he is no longer the same person who was pushed to the extreme by Yan Haomiao. Chen Ze, who had already prepared a backup plan, is not surprised by this result.

So, he asked Chen Ming to state another fact to Ouyang Lixing.

"Master General, Mr. Chen previously sent a message to me through a special communication method."

Chen Ming, who had been given the opportunity by Chen Ze, spoke slowly: "According to Mr. Chen, the spies he placed outside Ketan City detected a troop heading toward Dongping City, numbering about half a million!
