Ouyang Lixing chose this passive response, of course, partly because he did not want to lose troops for no reason. More importantly, he knew that he was not the protagonist at this moment and there was no need to sacrifice his life.

In this matter, he only needs to send troops, but he does not need to use force.

In the current situation, the person who wants Zheng Yuanyun's life the most is no longer him, but Chen Ze.

In fact, it was Chen Ze who had been planning behind the scenes that brought Zheng Yuanyun to this stage.

So now, it is not Ouyang Lixing who has the final say whether to attack or not, but it requires the cooperation of Chen Ze so that he can work out the most efficient and lowest casualty battle plan.

.

Before that, there was certainly no need for him to commit the mistakes Zheng Yuanyun had made before and lose a large number of troops in vain.

Rather than what Zheng Yuanyun thought, Ouyang Lixing was just engaging in some unnecessary consumption.

Iai Castle is so large, how can it be used up until it is empty?

You must know that when his two million troops are stationed outside the city for a day, the consumption is not small at the same time. In a competition of consumption, Ouyang Lixing may not be able to outdo Zheng Yuanyun.

Of course, if it was in the past, before the Nantes Province was invaded by the enemy, then of course he would not be afraid of attrition, but at this time, most of the cities in the Nantes Province were still behind Ihe City. Ouyang Lixing could rely on

There are only a few small cities located inland with relatively few supplies.

Perhaps, if all the cities he had were put together, their material reserves would not be as large as that of Iai City, which had always been a transit point for the Nantes province.

Ouyang Lixing, who knew the province of Nantes better than consumption, naturally did not have this idea.

In fact, even though Ouyang Lixing stationed two million troops under the city of Juhe, as soon as he discovered that something was wrong, he would be the one who could withdraw the fastest with his troops.

So, while everyone was making their own decisions, as the only person who seriously wanted to kill Zheng Yuanyun, Chen Ze finally asked Chen Ming to send back the news.

"General, that guy is back!"

In Ouyang Li's tent, a messenger reported that Chen Ming, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly returned.

Ouyang Lixing remained indifferent to this. Whether Chen Ming returned or not did not have much impact on him. Even when Chen Ming told him to leave, he did not send anyone to follow him, and looked like he was letting it go.

After the messenger reported, Chen Ming immediately entered the account. He looked at Ouyang Lixing, cupped his fists and said, "General Ouyang, I have the latest news about my young master!"

Ouyang Lixing only nodded slightly and said calmly: "Where is Chen Ze?"

He knew that Chen Ze was constantly seizing the city in the rear to block Zheng Yuanyun's retreat, so he asked this question.

Chen Mingdao: "Everything is under control. Master Chen's troops are using their tactics. They have come from Xilong City and captured three cities along the way!"

"Three seats?"

Ouyang Lixing pondered for a moment, simulated the marching route of Chen Ze's troops in his mind, nodded and said: "In terms of speed, it's still good, but what's the use?"

In fact, ever since he knew that Chen Ze would capture the city that had already been captured by Zheng Yuanyun from the rear, he didn't take it seriously.

After all, Zheng Yuanyun is also the highest commander-in-chief of the Qingyang Empire in Nantes Province, and this has not changed to this day.

So what's the use of Chen Ze running to seize the city?

It was nothing more than replacing Zheng Yuanyun's trusted generals with his own confidants.

Does this mean Zheng Yuanyun's retreat is cut off?

You know, soldiers and generals are separate.

Generals have the right to command during war, but they have no ownership rights over soldiers.

Even though every general likes to fly their own flag during the war, whether it is Zhang Jiajun or Li Jiajun, everyone knows that no matter what kind of army you are, after the war, all the troops must be returned to the empire, it will still be the Qingyang Army.

The soldiers are under the command of the general, but they are not loyal to the general. The most important thing is the general's rank.

Especially Zheng Yuanyun is still the current supreme commander. Just imagine, after Zheng Yuanyun was defeated in Juhe City and broke through and retreated, could Chen Ze really block his retreat?

Use the troops of Anluo Province to block the retreat of the supreme commander of Anluo Province?

Is there something wrong with your brain?

When the time comes, all Zheng Yuanyun has to do is raise his arms, and Chen Ze's army will trigger a mutiny on the spot. Whether he can escape with his whole body is unknown.

This was just Ouyang Lixing's analysis based on his own common sense. He didn't even know that the 500,000 elite soldiers in Chen Ze's hands were private soldiers trained by Zheng Yuanyun, and they were extremely loyal to Zheng Yuanyun.

If he had known this, he probably would not have chosen to send troops to chase him out.

Therefore, Ouyang Lixing was not interested in Chen Ze's plan to seize the rear city. Of course, it was correct, so he just waited and watched.

At the moment Chen Ming's reply, Ouyang Lixing was not disturbed at all by the fact that Chen Ze had obtained the three cities behind him, and he was just waiting for Chen Ming's next words.

But Chen Ming was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, after Ouyang Lixing digested the news he brought back, he said again: "General Ouyang, my young master wants me to bring you a message, but..."

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, then said with an ugly face: "But it's bad news."

"What?"

Ouyang Lixing frowned. Under such circumstances, there is bad news?

He couldn't help but look a little more solemn, and said in a deep voice: "What's the bad news?"

Chen Ming sighed and said: "General Ouyang doesn't know. Zheng Yuanyun is also a cunning man. It was only after he captured the city that my young master learned from Zheng Yuanyun's confidants that he was attacking Xiaxi

After Longcheng, Zheng Yuanyun had a hunch that General Ouyang would be difficult to deal with, and he was not sure of taking it in one fell swoop, so at that time, he chose to ask for reinforcements from the rear!"

Ouyang Lixing was slightly startled when he heard the words. He looked at Chen Ming and said, "Have you not known about this for a long time? What your young master has been promising me is that Zheng Yuanyun will not be able to wait for even a single reinforcement.

, is it possible that he can’t hold it off now?”

"No!"

Chen Ming shook his head fiercely and said: "The reinforcements in Anluo Province have always been under the control of my young master. There is no problem with this, but the problem is..."

"This guy Zheng Yuanyun not only asked for reinforcements from Anluo Province, he even ceded a large amount of interests and asked the two neighboring provinces of Anluo Province to also send a large number of reinforcements. But who is this?

I didn’t even think of it!”

He said in an urgent tone.

"Ceding benefits?"

These words also made Ouyang Lixing stunned for a moment.
