Chapter 960: Avoiding Sight

Vietnam, the capital of the country!

After the news of Xi Changzhen's defeat of the Eight-Nation Alliance came back, the army under Xi Yinglong was extremely excited and morale-boosting, and there was a situation that Li Zhen was going to drive Li Zhen away. At the same time, the courtiers under Xi Yinglong also competed to celebrate one by one, and they were extremely happy. The victory in this battle is a reassuring pill for them.

Xi Yinglong ordered the three armies to be rewarded, crowned Xi Changzhen as the king of the same word, and rewarded the rest of the generals and soldiers who participated.

……

Li Zhen military camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

After the news of the defeat of the Eight-Nation Coalition on the front line, Liu Jintang, Lu Shaochuan, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and others all had happy colors on their faces. These foreign devils are willing to be the first birds, and now they are beaten to pieces, they deserve it! Xi Changzhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, now he should know that it is powerful.

Lu Shaochuan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "President, the foreign devil lost to Xi Changzhen, it's time for us to play." You give the order, I am willing to fight as a vanguard. ”

Liu Jintang said: "Yes, it's time for us to clean up the situation." ”

Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng also asked for battle, and they all wanted to make a name for themselves in this battle.

Li Zhen was not in a hurry, and said: "Look at the movements of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and stabilize it first." ”

"Report!!"

When a few people were chatting about the situation on the front line, the soldiers came in and reported: "President, Lord Ye is back!" ”

"Please!" Li Zhen commanded.

The soldier went to convey the order, and soon, Ye Cheng walked in exhausted. After Ye Chengxin rescued Ruan Lele, he hurried with the soldiers non-stop, never stopping. Now I've just come back, and I haven't had time to rest for a while.

Ye Cheng saluted respectfully and said, "President! ”

Li Zhen asked, "Have you rescued anyone?" ”

Ye Chengxin sighed and said, "Lele was saved, but Ruan Mingde was killed in the chaos!" ”

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, and his mind instantly thought of the series of changes caused by Ruan Mingde's killing. Because the existence of Nguyen Minh Duc represents the Nguyen dynasty, and now that Nguyen Minh Duc is killed, it will cause many problems. Li Zhen's face didn't show it, and he said calmly: "Ruan Lele has lost her relatives, you comfort her well, so that she won't be able to think about it." ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Ye Cheng said sincerely.

Li Zhen's expression changed, and he said coldly: "This time, you gave up your official position for Ruan Lele, and the impact was bad. The position of the prefect of Wuzhou Prefecture, I have re-assigned personnel to take up the position, you stay in the army and give me a secretary, there is no official position, do you have any opinions? ”

"Nope! Ye Cheng is willing to be punished! ”

Ye Cheng bowed heartily, and then left the camp.

After Ye Chengxin left, Chen Yucheng said: "President, I think Ye Zhifu has made great contributions!" ”

"Oh, why is that?" Li Zhen asked.

Chen Ngoc Thanh said: "Just imagine, when Nguyen Minh Duc is still there, once he takes Xi Chang Zhen and conquers the whole of Vietnam, it will definitely be Nguyen Minh Duc who will inherit the throne and take charge of Vietnam." Even if the president supports Nguyen Minh Duc as a puppet, Nguyen Minh Duc will always grow up one day, and he will eventually clash with us. Now, Nguyen Minh Duc has been killed in the chaos army, and Ruan Lele has been rescued by Governor Ye, and we have in our hands an orthodoxy that will not control power. With Nguyen Le Le Le in hand, we have taken Vietnam, and we can justifiably take Vietnam in our hands. Therefore, I think that Governor Ye has made a great contribution to saving Ruan Lele. ”

Li Xiucheng continued: "I agree with Chen Yucheng's statement! ”

Lu Shaochuan said: "This statement is good. At least, with moral support! ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it makes sense!" ”

At this time, another soldier walked in and reported: "President, the soldiers at the front have come to report that the remnants of the Eight-Nation Alliance are coming towards us." It is expected that in another day, the Eight-Nation Coalition will arrive. ”

Li Zhen waved his hand, and the soldier withdrew.

Li Zhen said: "Let's discuss and discuss, how to meet the army of the eight countries!" ”

Next, a group of people got together and discussed things. In the end, Lu Shaochuan and Liu Jintang raised their voices to say goodbye, with weird smiles on their faces.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

When Gobard, Ma Hui, and Rawell and others led the few remaining remnants of the defeated generals to arrive outside Li Zhen's military camp, they looked at the soldiers under Li Zhen's command with bitter smiles on their faces.

On this trip, everyone was ready to be insulted.

The soldiers went to report to them, and Lu Shaochuan and Liu Jintang soon came to the gate of the barracks to greet them. Lu Shaochuan led Gobard and his party into the camp, while Liu Jintang was responsible for placing the remnants of the defeated army. It's just that from beginning to end, Li Zhen has never appeared. After the army was stationed, Gobard found Lu Shaochuan and asked, "Commander Lu, what about ***?" ”

Lu Shaochuan sighed lightly and sighed: "Alas! ”

It's just that this guy doesn't speak.

Gobard chuckled in his heart, thinking that it must be now. However, he still thought patiently and asked, "Master Lu, what's going on?" Let's say it first, we can also refer to it! ”

Lu Shaochuan said helplessly: "After the army entered Vietnam this time, we are short of food and grass!" And, due to the country's financial constraints, the soldiers' salaries were in arrears for a month. Now the president is going around raising money and trying to borrow money for food. ”

"Oh, got it!"

Gobard understood in his heart and said, "Commander Lu, I'll go and settle the soldiers first!" ”

Lu Shaochuan watched Gobard leave, thinking that this old boy was very interesting.

Apparently, Gobard understood what he meant.

After Gobard returned to the place where the army was temporarily resting, he invited the envoys and commanders of various countries together, and said solemnly: "Just now, I have asked to see Li Zhen. It's a pity that Lu Shaochuan didn't take me there, but said that Li Zhen had a big headache because of the problem of army food, grass and military salaries, and was thinking about a solution. ”

After a pause, Gobard said: "Lu Shaochuan is obviously taking the opportunity to blackmail and wants us to pay for food. Of course, I'm sure this is also what Li Zhen meant, that he wants to get food and money from us. People say what are we going to do, right? Is it to leave Vietnam? Or succumb to Li Zhen and give him money and food. ”

The French envoy Frankfurt said: "Retreat, I think retreat to the sea!" Hmph, even if we don't care about this war, we can't give Li Zhen money and food. ”

The Russian envoy also nodded and agreed, agreeing to the retreat.

Rawell shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, we lost nearly 10,000 people in this battle, this is the elite of all countries!" If we return in vain, it will be difficult to explain when we go back. Besides, if you really retreat, you will be looked down upon. After that, we will no longer have a deterrent effect, will you be willing to do so? ”

"I agree with Mr. Gravel!" Ma Hui said in a deep voice: "Although we have lost this battle, we must establish our prestige, and the only way at present is to use Li Zhen to achieve this goal." After all, our nine-nation alliance can be regarded as a whole, and it is the signing of the "Nine-Power Treaty." ”

ps: The third watch, there is another watch at night, there can be more, let's try our best.
