To be honest, at this time, Ouyang Lixing felt a little confused.

Chen Ze brought him this kind of news at this time. It must be said that this made Ouyang Lixing think a lot.

Will this person, Chen Ze, be someone who considers his allies wholeheartedly?

Ouyang Lixing thought about it again and again, but he didn't think so.

Aren't Chen Ze and Yan Haomiao allies at the beginning?

Although it seemed that Yan Haomiao broke the contract first, this was just the rhetoric of the envoy sent by Chen Ze.

The specific reason why Yan Haomiao made such a choice is not very clear to Ouyang Lixing. After all, although Yan Haomiao was caught by him, as an opponent who had been fighting with him, Yan Haomiao naturally refused to succumb to Ouyang Lixing.

Therefore, until Ouyang Lixing finally decided to execute Yan Haomiao, the other party did not reveal the doubts in Ouyang Lixing's heart before he died.

Ouyang Lixing didn't know about this, but Yan Haomiao knew it very well.

Yan Haomiao capsized in the gutter, which was a great shame for him, and Ouyang Lixing had been his main enemy for a long time, so how could he be soft on Ouyang Lixing?

Let’s talk about Chen Ze.

Yan Haomiao was the first among other empires to discover that Chen Ze was extraordinary, and he had despised Chen Ze at the beginning, so he suffered such a big loss in the end and left his wealth and life in a foreign country.

He, Yan Haomiao, was gone, and as far as he knew, Chen Ze was the reason why Ouyang Lixing made this choice and suddenly prepared to come out of Dongping City and forcibly take back the pass on the border.

So at that time, Ouyang Lixing and Chen Ze were allies.

The two have been fighting for many years. How could Yan Haomiao not understand Ouyang Lixing? He also knew that even if Chen Ze helped him such a big favor, Ouyang Lixing would never trust Chen Ze 100% in his heart.

If there is no trust, some problems will eventually be exposed. Then, Yan Haomiao hopes that Ouyang Lixing will make a fatal mistake one day.

Although this requires a certain amount of luck and depends on Chen Ze's subsequent strategies, what else could Yan Haomiao have to change or plan at that time?

He himself is just a prisoner. Besides gambling on his luck, what else can he do?

Naturally, Yan Haomiao, who was already dead, would not know. Now Ouyang Lixing did not understand Chen Ze, and he began to have doubts in his heart.

However, Ouyang Lixing was obviously not prepared to completely deny Chen Ze just because of a question. What he would do next would depend on what suggestions Chen Ming asked Chen Ming to bring.

So, while Ouyang Lixing waited seemingly calmly, Chen Ming made such a suggestion.

"General Ouyang, my young master said that there is no other way now except to seize the time to capture Ihe City and capture Zheng Yuanyun!"

Chen Ming seemed to be brewing his emotions, and when he spoke again, his tone was full of harshness and murderous intent.

"Seizing time?"

"Seize the city together?"

"Kill Zheng Yuanyun?"

When Ouyang Lixing heard this, he immediately sneered and broke Chen Ming's words into pieces. Each sentence was the key point, and each sentence made the sneer on Ouyang Lixing's face get deeper.

"Why should I do this?"

After sneering, Ouyang Li Xinghan said: "If I am not mistaken, isn't this your master's fault?"

"Since it was his fault, why did I have to sacrifice my brother's life to pay for it?"

Chen Ze's suggestion was to let him seize Ihe City as soon as possible, but Ouyang Lixing was actually not interested in this.

Why did he do this?

To be honest, even if he came to Juhe City, it was because of Chen Ze's threat that he had no choice but to send troops to Juhe City to confront Zheng Yuanyun.

It would be great to capture Zheng Yuanyun, but privately, Ouyang Lixing knew that he didn't have to do this.

He doesn't have that sense of urgency.

If Zheng Yuanyun escapes this time, Chen Ze will definitely not have an easy time, but what about himself?

Ouyang Lixing's idea is very clear, no fault is a merit!

He just dragged it out until the Zhu Yan Empire could free up its hands to send more reinforcements, and then he could retire successfully.

In this case, why do we need to use soldiers from the Province of Fengxi to sacrifice for the Province of Nantes?

Just to get recognition from the empire?

So what if he got it, he wanted to replenish his troops later, but he still had to start from Fengqi Province.

For example, if he lost one million troops this time to capture Iai City, then he would have to replenish the one million troops after returning to Hosu Province and recruiting from this province.

But there was obviously no need for him to recruit this million troops in Fengqi Province. In other words, in disguise, his reserve force in Fengqi Province was suddenly reduced by one million.

Although it doesn't seem like much at first glance, if something happens to his Fengqi Province and his troops are suddenly insufficient, this problem will become obvious.

Of course, taking Ihe City and killing Zheng Yuanyun is tantamount to immediately resolving the crisis in Nantes Province. Although the rewards from the Zhu Yan Empire will not be small, Ouyang Lixing is not as happy as Zheng Yuanyun.

This person is determined by his own character, and he has always followed a safe path.

Not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and in the long run, it is not cost-effective for Ouyang Lixing to take risks and lose too many troops.

With the current situation, who can be sure that the Qingyang Empire's offensive will end after Zheng Yuanyun's death?

You know, according to Chen Ze's intelligence, there is another reinforcement force of about 3.5 million on the way.

People have already arrived, and they are troops from the neighboring province of Anluo that are not under Zheng Yuanyun's control. Will these people be willing to go back in vain without even fighting a battle?

At that time, Ouyang Lixing and Zheng Yuanyun fought each other. He won miserably, and then had to face a larger reinforcement force.

Then why should he?

Killing Zheng Yuanyun relieved Chen Ze's crisis, but the crisis on his own side was still there, so why should he listen to Chen Ze and forcefully fight Zheng Yuanyun at this time?

He couldn't even figure out why Chen Ze made this suggestion.

Obviously, after receiving the information that reinforcements were arriving, he only needed to retreat and retreat to Tianyuan City again to defend it. Why did he have to take the risk to attack Iihe City?

Do you really think that Ouyang Lixing is a fool?

The sneer showed Ouyang Lixing's attitude at this time.

"General Ouyang, we can't do it without fighting!"

Chen Ming could naturally see what Ouyang Lixing was planning, and said immediately: "At this time, if we retreat to the rear, it will be a slow suicide!"

"Oh, is it so?"
Chapter completed!
