In fact, Ouyang Lixing already knew very well what kind of person Chen Ze was without even looking.

In fact, none of what this person said to him when he sent Chen Ming, including the so-called intelligence, had any solid evidence.

But so what?

Even if they are all false, what if one of them is true?

As long as one sentence is true, it will have a terrible and irreversible impact on Ouyang Lixing's entire decision-making, which leads to Ouyang Lixing not daring to gamble at all.

At this time, Ouyang Lixing even missed the time when his military rank was not that high.

At that time, he was thinking more about the gains and losses of a city, a land, and a soldier, rather than thinking about the deeper future.

The interests of the empire?

As a low-level general, if he can win a battle, he is making a contribution to the empire. No matter what happens in the end, he will always have merit and demerit.

But now, before making any decision, he had to think more deeply and consider the gains and losses after this battle. The higher the military rank, the higher the level involved, and the greater the influence of the empire.

Just like now, Ouyang Lixing has never really focused on Ihe City. What will affect his decision will always be the subsequent development of events and the impact it will have on the empire.

Whether to withdraw or attack, to defend or to attack fiercely, what affects his decision will only be the consequences of doing so, not the benefits that doing so will bring to him.

Because of this, Chen Ze firmly grasped this point and asked Chen Ming to bring news that had not been confirmed by Ouyang Lixing at all, but was extremely likely to happen. Ouyang Lixing had to think about what would happen if it came true.

If so, the empire will face difficulties.

In this case, how can he still gamble?

You have to prepare for the worst in everything. This is the motto that Ouyang Lixing has always believed in. Now what Chen Ze has given him is the worst result, forcing Ouyang Lixing to deal with it according to the worst plan.

And this way of coping, from the current perspective, can only be...

Fight for Iai City!

Before the reinforcements arrive, use a huge advantage to capture the city of Ihe, and then kill Zheng Yuanyun. In this way, you can keep the province of Nantes intact!

As soon as Zheng Yuanyun died, the leading reinforcements would be leaderless, and these reinforcements came for profit. Now that Zheng Yuanyun, who could provide them with benefits, is no longer there, there is no guarantee that he will not have dissent, even if he still stays in Nantes.

The province is going through wars in the south and in the north, but it will never be as monolithic again.

By then, whether he sticks to Juhe City or retreats to Tianyuan City, the pressure will be much less.

As for the subsequent reinforcements summoned by General Luo, that is first of all a follow-up. In the future, Ouyang Lixing can further weaken the first batch of reinforcements and maintain the number of reinforcements in the entire Qingyang Empire at a safe level.

on the numbers.

In this way, even if Chen Ze or General Luo had different intentions later and wanted to take advantage of Zheng Yuanyun's death to replace him and continue to implement the plan to capture the province of Nantes, it would not be that easy.

The first thing they need to deal with is the issue of the advance reinforcements left in Nantes Province. Although General Luo has a high military rank, Ouyang Lixing also believes that the reinforcements sent from neighboring provinces will also have such

Among the people at the rank of general or general, before it is clear who is the supreme commander, who among them will obey whom?

While fighting internally, attacking the province of Nantes?

Ouyang Lixing also had a lot of troops on hand. Coupled with the early consumption of reinforcements, he was naturally confident that he could defend the Zhu Yan Empire and send reinforcements.

And one thing is that more than two months have passed since the incident in Nantes Province. The Zhu Yan Empire has almost reintegrated and allocated its resources. The arrival of reinforcements is just around the corner. Maybe when Luo

When the reinforcements from the General Army arrived in Nantes, the reinforcements from the Zhu Yan Empire were about to arrive.

Until then, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose, and who will die!

From this point of view, attacking Iai Castle will be the safest approach now.

Although there will be a lot of losses in troops, it will be worth it anyway considering the subsequent development of the situation.

Chen Ze's last sentence of "cooperation means victory" made a promise to Ouyang Lixing that he would not take advantage of Zheng Yuanyun's death to have any dissent, nor would he sever his alliance with Ouyang Lixing at this time.

Of course, this is another guarantee without seeing any substantial evidence. Whether you believe it or not is up to Ouyang Lixing to make his own judgment.

Obviously, Ouyang Lixing seems to have no other choice at the moment.

After Chen Ming said those words, Ouyang Lixing had no intention of continuing to deal with him. Instead, he allowed the other party to leave, and on his side, he began to mobilize his troops.

Ketan City.

Chen Ze waited until Chen Ming left before cutting off the communication connection with him.

This remote control made his already poor military exploits even worse, but it all seemed worth it.

This also made Chen Ze breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Ouyang Lixing didn't say it, it can be seen from his subsequent series of arrangements that the next time he confronts Iai City, his offensive will no longer be as devoid of fighting spirit as before.

A real bloody battle!

This is what Chen Ze wants to see, and in this situation, he must let Ouyang Lixing fight for this wave. If not, Zheng Yuanyun or Ouyang Lixing, what the two coaches know

In fact, the reinforcements were all imaginary, but the group of 500,000 elite soldiers actually existed.

By observing the movements on Guo Zi's side, he knew that it would only take half a day at most. Even if these elite soldiers walked slowly, they would arrive at Juhe City. By then, even if Ouyang Lixing wanted to go all out, he would still have to take Juhe City.

There is no way around it.

Ma Hui or Huang Shi, if they continue to delay, the doubts in the army will inevitably expand, and by then, it will be bad.

Therefore, this time Chen Ze is desperate. If Ouyang Lixing remains unmoved and does not plan to take action against Iihe City, then he has no better way.

Of course, Chen Ze's situation was not as bad as Ouyang Lixing imagined.

Why does he stay in Ketan City?

That was to guard against this move. If Ouyang Lixing refused to cooperate, Chen Ze would probably just turn around and leave.

Zheng Yuanyun was busy fighting on the front line and had the help of half a million highly loyal elite soldiers. How could he turn around and go back to trouble Chen Ze at this moment? Taking advantage of the gap that he could not spare, Chen Ze could have returned to An'an first.

Luo Xing Province, if you accept Commander Luo's advice, stay away from the land of trouble and go to Qingfeng City to develop again.
