"Say it again?"

Ouyang Lixing, who had always been indifferent, stood up when he heard the words, and two sharp sword lights in his eyes were pointed at Chen Ming.

How could Chen Ming be afraid?

He met Ouyang Lixing's gaze and repeated again: "Master Chen sent news that the scouts he sent discovered that an army of about 500,000 people was approaching Dongping City!"

Dongping City belongs to Fengqi Province, and Fengqi Province is Ouyang Lixing's base camp.

At the beginning, he led the army from Dongping City and entered the Nantes Province in one fell swoop. He also bypassed Zheng Yuanyun's troops and chose to come to Tianyuan City instead of confronting them head-on.

At that time, although Ouyang Lixing took away most of the troops, leaving Fengqi Province adjacent to Nantes Province and the defense of the four border cities headed by Dongping City empty, but at that time Ouyang Lixing believed that Zheng

Yuan Yun will not attack Dongping City.

As for the reason, first of all, it is impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to leave the big cake of Nantes Province and go to the unknown Fengqi Province to cause trouble. For him, the natural choice is to win Nantes Province.

is the first priority.

The second point is that Ouyang Lixing is not without troops. If Zheng Yuanyun found that Ouyang Lixing led his troops to leave Dongping City and instead ran to attack the city, what if Ouyang Lixing came back again?

Wouldn't it be necessary to make dumplings for him?

So Zheng Yuanyun was very confused at that time.

If he attacks Dongping City, Ouyang Lixing is likely to come back. But if he doesn't attack, because he doesn't know Ouyang Lixing's specific marching movements, he will have to compete with the opponent for time.

What he wanted to grab was naturally whether he would capture the entire Nantes province first, or whether Ouyang Lixing would be the first to occupy the last gate of the Nantes province.

As for Dongping City, Zheng Yuanyun could only pretend that he had not seen it.

In fact, this is also the case, but in terms of time, Zheng Yuanyun still missed the mark and arrived at Tianyuan City at least half a month later than Ouyang Lixing. This resulted in Ouyang Lixing having plenty of time.

came to carry out the deployment, which ultimately caused Zheng Yuanyun to suffer a big loss.

So now, Zheng Yuanyun can't turn back and attack Dongping City. He doesn't have many troops on hand at the moment, and his trump card is a heavy cavalry unit that is not suitable for siege. This is even less feasible.

You may have some thoughts about Dongping City.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing has not been too worried about the situation in Dongping City. According to reports from spies, because of Yan Haomiao, the Mohe Province of the Bailie Empire has launched several attacks on his main city.

Attack, but Ouyang Lixing left enough troops before leaving, so although he was beaten several times in a row, the main city was still impregnable and there was no danger.

But there are hidden worries.

The biggest hidden danger is that although he has reserved enough troops for the main city in Mohe Province, he has plundered about three million troops in Fengqi Province after all, and this part of the troops is still being used by him.

Brought to Tianyuan City.

Therefore, there is still a problem of insufficient military strength within the Fengqi Province, especially the closer to the Nantes Province, the smaller the military strength, which is only enough to maintain the most basic defense of a city.

At this time, if someone goes to Dongping City to cause trouble, he will indeed be seriously injured. At this time, Dongping City and even the three surrounding cities combined cannot bear it.

If the enemy troops used this entrance to go inside Fengqi Province and wreak havoc, Ouyang Lixing would be calling the sky and the earth to be ineffective.

Especially when Chen Ming said such words at such a time, one can imagine who ordered those five hundred thousand elite soldiers to run to Dongping City.

If it were Zheng Yuanyun, Ouyang Lixing would not be afraid. After all, Zheng Yuanyun is the supreme commander of Anluo Province. He must have many considerations when doing things. At this time, Zheng Yuanyun suddenly went to attack Fengqi Province.

It is not good for him. Although it seems that he can get a lot of Fengqi Province cities, this small-scale conflict will eventually be suppressed.

But it's different if it's Chen Ze.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At this time, Chen Ze is the one who is barefoot.

The army of the Qingyang Empire and the elite soldiers of the Anluo Province, what do these have to do with him?

In his eyes, this is just a tool that can be used to create opportunities for himself. If it works well, use it for a while. When it becomes no longer useful, throw it away.

As for the existence of these 500,000 elite soldiers, there is no doubt about it.

Chen Ze, through Chen Ming, had been emphasizing to Ouyang Lixing that Zheng Yuanyun had reinforcements coming to Nantes Province, but they were just being delayed by Chen Ze's envoy.

This can be confirmed from the side by Zheng Yuanyun's radical attack method.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Ze controls an elite army of 500,000 men. Ouyang Lixing still believes this.

So if he really uses this army to attack Dongping City...

It is inevitable that Dongping City cannot be defended, but it is not certain that this will be of any benefit to Chen Ze, because no matter how he attacks, as long as Zheng Yuanyun is still there, the credit must go to the supreme commander.

Even when Zheng Yuanyun was in urgent need of reinforcements, Chen Ze privately launched his troops to attack the meaningless Fengqi Province, and was criticized by Zheng Yuanyun afterwards.

However, having said that, what should Fengqi Province do?

Putting aside whether Chen Ze will be punished by Zheng Yuanyun, his Fengqi Province will definitely be in serious trouble. If it is invaded by half a million elite soldiers, what kind of damage will this cause?

This is simply a fish-or-death plan!

Chen Ze struggled to be punished by Zheng Yuanyun, causing his Ouyang Lixing's headquarters to fall into chaos. If this matter was known to the Bailie Empire, wouldn't it be the plan set by Yan Haomiao before?

A pincer attack to seize Fengqi Province?

It's just that Yan Haomiao was chopped off by himself, and now it is Chen Ze who will continue the plan. Although Chen Ze will not get the same benefits as Yan Haomiao, and may even get burned, but as the victim, he is

You can't catch it from both ends.

When it comes to the province of Nantes, he only defended it and did not recover it. When it comes to the province of Fengqi, he brought a large number of troops into the province of Nantes, causing damage to his base camp.

Wouldn’t this be a lose-lose situation?

But again, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Chen Ze is just a small assistant leader and has nothing to fear, but Ouyang Lixing is the supreme commander of a province, and the issues he needs to consider and worry about are far beyond what Chen Ze can compare with.

After making such a big fuss, Chen Ze could have just rolled up his sleeves and walked away, but Ouyang Lixing had to face this mess.

He even had to go around begging his grandfather and grandma to bring in reinforcements just like the previous Nantes province, so that he could solve the disaster in Fengqi province.
