Chapter 480: The Messenger
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
After the Seven-Nation Alliance suffered the defeat of the vanguard troops, they still stood still, and the main force on land still stayed in Zhangjiakou.
Li Chengke had already prepared for the Seven Nations Alliance's troops approaching the city, but he did not wait for the imaginary attack.
Even so, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, but just suffered all the soldiers. You have to keep it in such a tense state every day, and if it takes a long time, there will inevitably be moths.
In this regard, Ye Shaolong had no other way but to give an order to let Li Cheng and them try to keep the soldiers vigilant. In addition, the only person he can rely on now is Ste Haoran.
According to the previous agreement, he had to provide Ye Shaolong with all the information of the Seven Nations Alliance. However, now three days have passed since the time of handing over the supplies, and there is no news from Sterhaoran.
Ye Shaolonglong sat alone in the mansion, frowning and thinking about the situation in front of him. A messenger rushed in in a panic and said, "Ye Shuai, there is a foreigner outside the city who claims to be a Dutch messenger, and he asks to meet you!" ”
Hearing this, Ye Shaolong suddenly got up: "Bring him to see me!" ”
"Yes!" After the messenger saluted, he hurriedly withdrew.
Soon after, he returned again, this time with a foreigner behind him.
"Ye Shuai, the people have been brought!" The messenger knelt on the ground and gave a loud message.
Ye Shaolong waved his hand to let the messenger retreat, and then began to look at the foreigner in front of him.
The other party was also looking at Ye Shaolong, and seeing that Ye Shaolong was so young, a trace of disdain suddenly appeared on the foreigner's face.
Although the foreigner's disdain was hidden deeply, it was still discovered by Ye Shaolong, who was carefully observing him. Xuan even sneered and said, "You are the person sent by Sterhaoran?" ”
Hearing Ye Shaolong's domineering tone, the foreigner frowned slightly: "I, Werther, Mr. Sturt sent me here, yes." In the future, I will complete the contact with you! ”
Ye Shaolong was very displeased with Witt in front of him, looking at his underwhelming expression, he clearly looked down on himself. But considering that this is not the time to turn his face, he secretly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and after signaling Werther to sit down, he got to the point: "I wonder if Mr. Sturt has a message for Ben Shuai?" ”
Witt squinted at Ye Shaolong, and then said, "Naturally, I have something to bring to Mr. Ye, but it's a pity that this news is very bad news for you." ”
Ye Shaolong's heart was slightly shocked, but he still remained calm on the surface, and sneered: "Good news or bad news makes no difference to Ben Shuai, Mr. Witt might as well talk about it, so as to shock Ben Shuai!" ”
In the face of Ye Shaolong's strength, Witt flashed a trace of displeasure again, and he no longer hid it, and immediately said coldly: "The Seven Nations Alliance in Zhangjiakou did not move because they were waiting for the navy at sea. Three days ago, 50,000 navies had set out from Guangzhou, and their destination was Tianjin! ”
"Fifty thousand navy ......" Ye Shaolong felt very surprised!
When did the Seven Nations Alliance have so many soldiers and horses? Eighty thousand have been assembled in Zhangjiakou, and if the sea is really as Witt in front of him said, wouldn't it be a mess.
Seeing Ye Shaolong's unbelievable expression, Witt continued: "Of course, these 50,000 navies are not completely the soldiers and horses of the Seven Nations Alliance. As far as we know, half of this navy is made up of pirates. ”
"The Japanese are actually involved!" Ye Shaolong was stunned, but at the same time, he felt incredible again.
According to what Stern Haoran said before, the Seven-Nation Alliance was to suppress and squeeze out the Netherlands, so the Dutch side would come to look for their cooperation.
But if this is the case, then what kind of benefits will the Seven-Nation Alliance be willing to give to the Japanese Invaders. Will they let the Japanese join in, and send more than 20,000 navies to participate in the war?
Witt saw that Ye Shaolong was shocked continuously, and he was very satisfied and said, "Yes, the Japanese Kou did participate in it." And the Seven-Nation Alliance will let them participate, in fact, you are to blame for all this! ”
"Blame ourselves? Please speak clearly. Ye Shaolong sank his face, and there was a hint of murder in his tone.
Witt was slightly stunned, as if he was frightened by Ye Shaolong's expression, and his arrogant performance suddenly reined in, and explained: "The Seven Nations Alliance will temporarily let the Japanese invaders join, and it is because of your defeat of 20,000 coalition troops outside the capital. ”
After a pause, Witt continued: "Originally, three days ago, the Japanese went to ask the Seven Nation Alliance to let them join, wanting to get a piece of the pie. But the leaders of the Seven Kingdoms all explicitly refused, believing that with the strength of their Seven Nations Alliance, they could completely take down your Mr. Ye's forces. ”
"It's a pity that the battle outside the capital immediately made the Seven Nations Alliance realize your strength. Therefore, they finally agreed to the joining of the Japanese and demanded that the Japanese send out half of their navy. In the end, the only thing they got was Tianjin City, and there was no share of them anywhere else. ”
After listening to this explanation, Ye Shaolong understood. The reason why the Seven-Nation Alliance is so reluctant to do so is this. If it is said that it was because of the battle outside the capital that led to the joining of the Japanese Kou, Ye Shaolong did not regret it at all.
Although he has to face the attack of one more force in front of him, he has always had a lot of hatred with Ye Shaolong. Even if the Japanese did not join the Seven Nations Alliance, they would presumably secretly make harm to the Yejiabao army.
Now the Japanese are just jumping out and openly attacking, and in the end there is not much difference.
"I'm glad that Mr. Witt sent a message to Ben Shuai, it's been quite hard all the way, so please move to the backyard and rest first." Ye Shaolong learned of the movements of the foreigners, and he couldn't wait to find a way to break the siege.
Wei Ting nodded and agreed to Ye Shaolong's invitation, and when he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly gave Ye Shaolong a piece of good news.
In view of the performance of Ye Shaolong's army in defeating the Seven Nations Alliance outside the capital, the supreme leader of the Netherlands promised to help Ye Shaolong a little at sea.
If he wants to deal with the tens of thousands of coalition troops in Zhangjiakou with peace of mind, he doesn't have to worry too much about the affairs of Tianjin City. When the city of Tianjin is in danger, the Netherlands will help in the shadows.
This is indeed good news, Ye Shaolong also breathed a sigh of relief, and expressed his gratitude very politely for the first time.
The atmosphere that had always been tense between the two was slightly eased at this moment, and it was no longer as tense as before.
Witt obviously also had some understanding of Ye Shaolong, and he didn't dare to be rude to him like before, and after saying goodbye with a smile, he retreated first.
After Ye Shaolong saw Werther leave, he immediately wrote three letters, and ordered the messenger to send them to Li Chengke, Xiao Dashan and Su Can respectively. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
