Chapter 636 Empty Bucket
Tang Tianxing's speed is very fast.
The people in the woods felt that they hadn't waited long, and they were almost far away from the sky on the other side of the woods, when two loud arrows sounded suddenly.
Chen Ze could see Tang Tianxing's movement trajectory. Even though he couldn't communicate with him, he could still see it clearly on the map.
Tang Tianxing was very cautious. He didn't find a random place to release the arrow, but deliberately chose another place that was also suitable for hiding while staying away from the grove, and then released the arrow.
In this way, Cheng Hong would of course search that place in detail, which gave Chen Ze and the others more time to prepare.
The arrow message sent by Tang Tianxing is naturally the answer to Ouyang Lixing's question.
"Chen Ming."
Tang Feng, who had been staying at the top of the city waiting for a reply, said these two words without hesitation.
Ouyang stayed silent.
That was the answer he wanted, and there was nothing wrong with it.
So, it was undoubtedly Chen Ze who was outside.
But a new problem came again.
What did Chen Ze come here for?
If it was said that the Qingyang Empire was not resentful of the Bailie Empire's meddling, which resulted in the Nantes Province's big pie being handed over to others, it should not be Chen Zecai who came.
Ouyang Lixing knew Chen Ze well.
Knowing that although he is not weak in intelligence, there is one thing that makes Ouyang Lixing feel very obvious.
That is, Chen Ze does not have the sense of mission that the interests of the empire are above all else!
This was made very clear before.
If Chen Ze was a loyal general of that kind of empire, then he would not immediately choose to fight back decisively after Zheng Yuanyun expressed his rejection of him, and thus found the enemy's generals to cooperate and take Zheng Yuanyun Put it to death.
It was also that cooperation that prevented the Qingyang Empire from taking over the entire Nantes province in the end, and gave the Zhuyan Empire a chance to breathe.
From this point of view, rather than saying that Chen Ze is loyal to the empire, it is better to say that he is only loyal to himself.
So, what else is he running around for?
Now that the situation has changed, almost all the advantages established by the Nantes province in the early Qingyang Empire have been given to the Bailie Empire. At this moment, for the Qingyang Empire, no matter who they send to regain the initiative, it will It is a tough battle, and there is a high probability of failure.
So this is not in line with Chen Ze's personality.
There is no need for him to take this muddy water again. If he fails, he may have to spit out all the credits he has received before.
As for the Qingyang Empire, there is a high probability that Chen Ze will not be forced to join the war.
After all, this kid's military rank is not high, which means that within the Qingyang Empire, Chen Ze is just a little-known general.
Apart from those who have dealt with him, who else would think highly of a small association leader?
For such an important task, shouldn't it be safer for the Qingyang Empire to send some senior generals, such as generals of the general army, or higher, like Hua Lao, to sit in charge?
Sending Chen Ze, what's the matter?
After this point, Ouyang Lixing can probably guess that Chen Ze's coming here is the result of his own request.
So what is he plotting?
If he still had ambitions and wanted to take Nantes Province into his pocket, Ouyang Li Xing judged the current situation, and it would be difficult for the Qingyang Empire to send enough reinforcements to support him.
After all, Cheng Hong has three million soldiers in his hands at this moment. Of course, excluding the nearly one million Qingyang Empire troops, that is also two million.
If you want to eat two million people in one bite, you can still have enough energy to take down Juhe City, and then take down the entire Nantes province. Can't five million troops do it?
No, five million is not necessarily enough!
No matter who is doing the blockade outside, as far as Juhecheng is concerned, and as far as he is Ouyang Lixing, the strategic deployment remains unchanged.
That is persistence.
That is dragging.
Procrastinate until one's own side breathes a sigh of relief and is able to support the Nantes province.
Although Ouyang Lixing was very worried about the safety of Fengqi Province, he also knew that this was the only choice he could make at present.
He also has more than two million troops on hand.
And during the period of blockade of Juhe City, he never gave up training soldiers, and now the strength of the soldiers under his hands is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
So as long as he doesn't get out of the city, what does it matter to him if there is a disturbance outside?
After the Qingyang Empire defeated the Bailie Empire, the remaining troops were estimated to be similar to the current one, or even less.
And he has the defensive power of a strong city like Juhe City, and he has soldiers and food at hand. Could it be possible that he is afraid of being shot down?
So, eight million or more!
Just thinking about the strength of this force, Ouyang Lixing felt that it was impossible.
If the Qingyang Empire could really produce such a huge force, the province of Nantes would have been lost long ago, so what about the Bailie Empire?
Since there are no soldiers, why did Chen Ze come here?
Here, what is Chen Ze looking for and wanting to plot?
That's the point!
Only by figuring this out, Ouyang Lixing can know what role he should play in this cooperation with Chen Ze.
However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Ze was thinking about the same thing at the moment.
Both of them are people with a long-term vision, and they didn't just focus on the immediate situation because of the immediate situation.
Chen Ze wanted to take the initiative in this cooperation, so he kept the hostages secret, but Ouyang Lixing had the same idea.
No one wants to be used as a gun in the end, and everyone wants to take advantage of this cooperation to gain the greatest benefit for themselves.
"Tell me, how many people did Chen Ze bring here this time?"
Ouyang Lixing asked suddenly.
Tang Feng was taken aback.
He told Ouyang Lixing most of the things before, but only after he came to the blockade, he mainly mentioned that he sneaked into Juhe City without authorization.
He is not a brainless person, and he knows the troubles that Ouyang Lixing will bring to Chen Ze once he learns about Chen Ze's truth, so when it comes to the specific number of people, he has always been vague.
Fortunately, Ouyang Lixing didn't ask in detail before, which made Tang Feng silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, just when he thought that Ouyang Lixing had completely believed him, this guy suddenly made such a remark.
Fortunately, he didn't think about it. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately said: "Master Chen doesn't have many people, but they are all masters, and the teacher has almost raised money. I believe it will not be long before he will A sizable reinforcement can be dispatched."
This is an excuse that Tang Feng thought of for a long time. This time he is confident that there should be no problem.
However, when he finished speaking, he received a sneer from Ouyang Lixing.
