Outside Arequipa, Lustuat and Peruvian President Pedro's general Datini led 40,000 Peruvian soldiers lined up at the city gates, waiting for the final deal with the Chinese Independence Army.

Li Mingyuan did not break his promise, and after normal trading with the Peruvians, the Chinese Independent Army officially handed over the three seaside cities of Moyando, Moquegua, and Tacna to Lustuart, and all the captured 4,000 Moyando soldiers were returned to him.

Immediately after acquiring the three cities, Rustuat exercised his power to raise the number of troops twelve thousand in a week by selling local interests to commercial representatives of various countries, obtaining cash and loans,

In this deal with the Chinese Independent Army, Rustuat transferred 10,000 people, on the one hand, to strengthen the position of the Peruvian side, so as not to let the Chinese Independent Army underestimate Peru.

On the other hand, it is to show his muscles, show Datini his strength, and prevent him from taking the opportunity to encroach on his own territory.

The easy reconquest of lost ground gave Datiny the idea of despising the Chinese Independence Army.

"These rebels aren't that powerful." Datini rode on his horse, staring at Li Mingyuan and his party who were walking slowly opposite, and an adventurous idea flashed in his mind,

"Rustuat, after the deal is completed, we will take advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebels and kill them, how about it, shall we do it?" Dudtini lowered his voice, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Rustuart was taken aback by Dardine's idea, his proposal was indeed very tempting, but remembering the methods of the Chinese Independence Army, Rustuat decisively abandoned this idea,

Now that he had the territory and army he had previously dreamed of, he couldn't afford to take a risk just to ask for credit from above.

"General Dadtiny, the rebels are strong, and with the army in our hands, it will be difficult to defeat them."

Datiny was very dissatisfied with Lustuatt's cowardice, and his face became ugly for a moment, but after all, Dadiny was a high-ranking general, and quickly adjusted his mood and pretended: "Just kidding you, don't take it seriously." ”

After more than 20 years in the Peruvian military, Lustuat naturally knew whether Datini was joking or not.

By the time Dadiny thought he had done a good job of concealing it, Lustuath could already see by his expression that he was despising him, and that it was not a joke with what he had just said.

"I won't stop you if you want to die, and when you see the strength of the rebels, you'll know who is stupid."

"General Dadini, the other party is already here, let's go ahead and meet them." Lustuatt sneered secretly, still pretending to respect Dadini on the surface.

"Well, let's go." With a wave of his hand, Dadini stepped out of the army with a hundred cavalry and walked towards the center of the two armies.

"Lustuat, long time no see, you look good now." As soon as the two parties met, Li Mingyuan first smiled and said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, I'm fine now." Rustuat also laughed.

The two laughed very naturally, and those who didn't know thought they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time!

"Lustuat, this is President Pedro's right-hand man, General Dadini!"

In the first few transactions with Peru, Li Mingyuan did not appear in person, and the specific transactions were handled by his subordinates.

The deal for Ciudad Arequipa was the highlight of the deal with Peruvians, and neither party had done anything in the previous deals, so the last deal was an interview between the heads of the two parties to resolve the final step of the deal between the two parties.

"Your Excellency is really powerful in leading the rebels to defeat our southern army, and I, a capable general, dare not compare with you." Datini was soft and hard, and directly called the Chinese Independence Army a rebel.

"Hehe, the Chinese workers' uprising is also a last resort, as for the strength of our army, you can ask Lustuatt, and he will tell you the answer."

Most of the deals between the Chinese Independence Army and Peru have been completed, and at this time, Li Mingyuan will not give face to the Peruvians, and will directly confront him.

"The war is over, aren't we standing together face to face now," Rustuat said with a smile: "Your Excellency Lee, General Dadtiny, the most important thing for us now is to make a deal, as for other topics, let's not talk about it yet?" ”

"Of course, my troops are ready to go, and I think your troops also want to recover Arequipa as soon as possible, right?" Li Mingyuan said.

Datini nodded with an unkind face, and the two parties handed over the specific materials for the last transaction, and then Li Mingyuan and Dadini each returned to their camps.

"Yongzeng, monitor the movements of the Peruvian army, and report to me as soon as you notice any unusual movements from them." From the conversation just now, Li Mingyuan sensed Dadini's hatred for the Chinese Independence Army, so he ordered Zhao Yongzeng, the commander of the special forces, to prepare in advance.

"Understand that the reconnaissance battalion and the 1st Special Forces Squadron will be responsible for monitoring the Peruvian army." Zhao Yongzeng replied.

"Hmm" Li Mingyuan nodded and continued: "You go and tell Sun Bin and ask him to come and see me." "Liu Pu, as the person in charge of the 90,000 Chinese, has already led the troops to set off ahead of schedule, and the main force of the field army under Li Mingyuan temporarily serves as the rear guard, so the staff work in the field army is temporarily in charge of Sun Bin.

Sun Bin, like other high-ranking officers, monitored the transaction process between the two parties in front of the city gate, and after hearing the news from the guards, Sun Bin rode to Li Mingyuan's side.

"Sun Bin, I feel that the Peruvians may attack tonight, and you are responsible for arranging for the troops to be on alert." Li Mingyuan said.

Since Li Mingyuan believed that the Peruvians would attack, he was about ninety percent sure that it would really happen, so Sun Bin replied, and then arranged the specific defense matters of the troops.

In the Peruvian barracks, a small soldier walked into Lustut's military tent and reported: "General, as you might expect, General Dadtini's troops are being mobilized. ”

"I see, you go down."

After sending the messenger soldiers, Lustuat did not anticipate the joy of coming true, but paced back and forth in the military tent with a frown.

Dadiny hid himself from moving the army and knew what he wanted to do without even thinking about it.

Although what Dadiny was going to do had nothing to do with Lustat, he did so to put Lustuatt in an embarrassing position.

It stands to reason that Dadinny and Lustuatt belong to the same camp, and the two should work together,

But Lustuat knew in his heart that Dadiny was not Li Mingyuan's opponent at all, and once Dadiny's attack failed, Li Mingyuan would not think that he had nothing to do with this matter.

When the time comes, the Chinese Independence Army will retaliate, and Dadine can take the troops and pat himself on the ass and leave, but the three cities he has just arrived in will have to change owners.

The more Rustuart thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. ……

At midnight, all the Chinese in Arequipa were withdrawn, and the 10,000 Chinese workers just received by the Chinese Independence Army were also escorted by 2,000 soldiers to meet with Liu Pu's logistics unit.

And Li Mingyuan led 20,000 Chinese independence army soldiers to ambush on a road outside the city of Arequipa.

During the day, Lustuat's messenger informed Li Mingyuan of the news of Dadini's attack on the Chinese Independence Army, which confirmed Li Mingyuan's previous inference,

As for Lust Tuart and Dadine practicing together to deceive Li Mingyuan, on the one hand, Lustuatt had no motive to do so, and on the other hand, even if they acted to lure the Chinese Independence Army into being deceived, Li Mingyuan made arrangements and was not afraid of falling into their trap.

Under the bright moonlight, a group of black shadows quietly appeared in Li Mingyuan's sight,

"Shizi, they are here." Zhao Yongzeng crawled beside Li Mingyuan and whispered.

"Yongzeng, how about the arrangement?"

"Don't worry, the soldiers of the special brigade and the reconnaissance battalion are all ambushed in the pits on both sides of the continent, and they won't find out."

"This operation must be resolved quickly, and we cannot afford to waste our limited ammunition and supplies here."

Fighting against Dadini's Peruvian army was ostensibly unnecessary, and the Chinese Independence Army could ignore them and move in directly.

But on the other hand, if the Chinese Independence Army relents this time, it will have a bad impact on the other Peruvian troops, making them think that the Chinese Independence Army is patronizing and fleeing, and will not fight a tough battle with them.

In this way, on the way to the retreat of the Chinese Independence Army, it will be attacked by a large number of Peruvian troops, which will slow down the speed of the Chinese Independence Army's ground transfer and consume the ammunition and materials of the Chinese Independence Army, so in the long run, this battle must be fought.
