Ouyang Lixing's bottom line is to defend Juhe City.

Even if the Zhu Yan Empire can't come to support for a while, Ouyang Lixing can accept it. After all, Fengqi Province is still in a stalemate, so it's not particularly urgent.

But this is really the bottom line.

As for what Hong Tianji hoped for, Ouyang Lixing sent troops to Xilong City, which was absolutely impossible.

He also expected to bring this group of troops safely back to Fengqi Province for supplementary purposes, so he would not go to fight the extremely difficult siege battle. The attack was still on Xilong City, which was at the level of a main city!

How many troops will he lose with this attack?

In the end, nothing happened in the province of Nantes, but what about him?

Will he just be Commander Guangbiao and go back to Fengqi Province in despair to clean up the mess?

Don’t even think about it!

Ouyang Lixing's anger lies more in this.

He thought that he had made concessions, but the empire was still not satisfied. So, in what position did the empire place him, the supreme commander of Fengqi Province?

Ouyang Lixing could also see that his actions of pointing at his nose and scolding his mother really made Hong Tianji angry. This time, he had greatly offended the imperial envoy.

But so what?

He is now willing to risk everything, or perhaps he wants to use this expression of anger to make the empire face up to his predicament.

No matter what happens, Fengqi Province is far larger than Nantes Province. The empire will never lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds. It really ignores the thoughts of the commander-in-chief of Fengqi Province and insists on letting him go his own way.

Modern Warfare Nantes Skip the fight, right?

Empire doesn't mean this.

That scolding had to be said to be a deliberate move. After Ouyang Lixing finished the scolding, he was also observing Hong Tianji's reaction. However, seeing that this man was very angry but still patient, he knew that what he had expected was true.

.

After all, the empire still dare not offend itself easily.

So, just when Hong Tianji finally calmed down and wanted to persuade him again, Ouyang Lixing spoke first: "Mr. Hong, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Whoever it was that was responsible for this matter wouldn't be much better than me."

.”

"In a word, I will definitely not go to Xilong City. If you still want to persuade me, you don't have to!"

When he said this, Ouyang Lixing stood up, waved his hand slightly at Hong Tianji, and walked out of the meeting hall.

"Sir, Mr. Ouyang!"

Hong Tianji was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to call him again, all he could see in his eyes was the back of Ouyang Lixing who left decisively.

"this……"

He could only smile bitterly, shake his head and sigh.

However, this result was not beyond his expectation. The only thing Hong Tianji could do now was to go back and report Ouyang Lixing's intention to the royal family.

Want to persuade again?

He was afraid that Ouyang Lixing would directly send someone to throw him out of Ihe City.

Based on Hong Tianji's understanding of Ouyang Lixing, he felt that Ouyang Lixing could really do such a thing after being provoked.

This...can't really blame him.

Looking at Ouyang Lixing's retreating figure, Hong Tianji shook his head and sighed, but he also understood Ouyang Lixing's difficulties.

At the same time, Xilongcheng.

Post-war reconstruction work is in full swing.

Fortunately, Zheng Yuanyun was in a hurry at that time. After ordering the massacre of the city, he did not stay too long. He did not even have time to take a closer look at the fire he lit, so he led the army to the next city.

Although there was a huge fire in Xilong City, there was a heavy rain afterwards. Fortunately, most of the buildings in the city were saved, which made the post-war reconstruction work of Chen Ze and others not too arduous.

In addition, Chen Ze deceived Ma Hui to go to Xilong City to repair the bridge. Later, when the city protection bridge was repaired, Zheng Yuanyun did not give him any further orders, so Ma Hui who stayed in Xilong City was regarded as doing it at that time.

This is a good deed that helps Zheng Yuanyun build up his virtue.

That is, the large number of civilian corpses in Xilong City should be properly processed and buried to avoid the tragic situation of a large number of civilians who unfortunately died in Xilong City being exposed in the wilderness.

And this incident also planted blessings for today.

After such a long time, if Ma Hui had not ordered people to clean up the city and bury the corpses, when Chen Ze and others returned with their troops, a huge plague would have broken out in Xilong City.

!

The only inconvenience is that Xilong City is empty. All the supplies were either destroyed or removed when Zheng Yuanyun first conquered the city. What was left to Chen Ze and others was an empty city.

Therefore, while he had to order people to repair the city wall, he also sent people back to Ketan City to transport supplies. Even though they were working together, they were very busy.

But other than that, it can be said that everything is calm.

Ouyang Lixing?

Zhu Yan Empire?

No.

After they made up their mind to stand firm in Xilong City, so many days passed, and Chen Ze did not deliberately block the news, but the scouts scattered around did not send back any news of the enemy's arrival.

It has to be said that the strategy of defending Xilong City instead of Ketan City was successful, but Chen Ze had a slight regret.

He actually hoped that Ouyang Lixing would really lead his soldiers to attack Xilong City.

It's not that he was dissatisfied with the Qingyang Empire and chose to become a spy, but that this was the original purpose of Chen Ze's determination to stay in Xilong City.

Does Ouyang Lixing want to attack the city?

Of course I don't want to.

And if he came in the end, it would mean that the Zhu Yan Empire put pressure on him, forcing Ouyang Lixing to choose to send troops to attack Xilong City with nearly two million troops.

If this battle were to be fought, Ouyang Lixing would probably win.

This is the result of Chen Ze's calculations, but Ouyang Lixing's victory will also be based on the fact that he does not want to lose too many troops and end the situation hastily.

Of course, winning or not is a secondary matter. Chen Ze's main purpose is to provoke discord between Ouyang Lixing and the Zhu Yan Empire.

One doesn't want to fight, but one has to force the other to fight. No matter who persuades whom, this conflict is inevitable.

And this is what Chen Ze wants to see.

If he wanted to provoke a conflict between Ouyang Lixing and the Zhu Yan Empire, it would be best to trigger an internal strife, so that he could take advantage of it and do some fishing in troubled waters.

Even, to put it bluntly, if this incident gets worse and worse and makes Ouyang Lixing angry, then he can deal with it with emotion and reason...

Maybe there is no chance of instigating rebellion against the supreme commander?
