Lingui County. Governor's Yamen.

Xi Yinglong, Xi Changzhen, and Rawell all gathered in the hall, and the three giants gathered together, all with solemn expressions. At this time, the news of the fall of Xunzhou Mansion had come, and the state capitals of Nanning, Yulin, and Liuzhou had also fallen. A series of failures made the hearts of the Guangxi people controlled by Xi Yinglong fluctuate, and the situation began to turbulent.

If it continues, Guangxi will definitely have to change owners soon.

At the moment, the atmosphere is tense.

None of the three of them spoke.

After a long time, Rawell coughed lightly, glanced at Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen on the left and right, and said lightly: "Your Excellency the Governor, the state capitals of Guangxi have fallen one after another. If you don't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid you will have to Li Zhen to harvest Your Excellency's head. Now there are Si'en Mansion, Sicheng Mansion, Qingyuan Mansion and other places, and it is still too late to send troops to rescue. ”

Xi Changzhen immediately said: "Your Excellency Rawell represents the French army, it is better to dispatch French soldiers to meet the army under Li Zhen in batches, what do you think?" ”

He smiled and looked expectant.

Rawell frowned, and said loudly: "I came to assist you, and to assist you in resisting Li Zhen." Now that Li Zhen's army is rampant, and you are not sad about your own affairs, what is the point of me actively participating? It's really in response to an old Chinese saying, mud can't hold up the wall! Either way, or not, I'm leaving! ”

He stood up and paused slightly before turning to leave.

Xi Changzhen looked at Xi Yinglong and blinked.

Xi Yinglong's expression remained unchanged, he didn't say a word, and let Lawell leave.

The two of them didn't speak, and Spicy Earlden was uncomfortable.

His words were to stimulate Xi Yinglong, and he just wanted Xi Yinglong to say something to keep him. The most embarrassing thing now is that he is ready to leave, but Xi Yinglong does not speak. Rawell took a few more steps, but there was still no sound behind him. He paused, his face embarrassed, and waited silently in his heart.

For about five seconds, there was still no sound behind him.

Seeing this, Rawell resolutely walked out of the governor's palace. However, Rawell still didn't understand it, and he couldn't figure out why Xi Yinglong was not in a hurry at all.

Xi Changzhen saw Lawell's back disappear, and said, "Lawell is gone, don't you persuade him?" ”

Xi Yinglong said: "Is persuasion useful? ”

Xi Changzhen said: "There is still some usefulness, for example, now our troops are insufficient, and Li Zhen is eyeing with a large army. Once we divide our forces to resist, Guilin Mansion is likely to be attacked by Li Zhen. Once Rachel participates, letting the foreigners under his command resist the other two armies under Li Zhen's command respectively, which can still play a role in driving away the tiger and devouring the wolf. ”

In fact, Guangxi's armed forces are indeed facing difficulties.

Li Zhentun Bing Pingle Mansion, and then advance is the scope of Guilin Mansion. Once Xi Yinglong dispatches his soldiers to leave, there will be a situation that Xi Changzhen said, which will allow Li Zhen to take advantage of the situation. However, Xi Yinglong did not send troops, and he could only watch the fall of the west and south of Guangxi Province, so the situation was extremely grim.

Xi Yinglong rolled his eyes and said, "You don't say it when you're here, and you don't say it now when you're gone." ”

"I think you know." Xi Changzhen said.

Xi Yinglong said: "You know what a fart!" Brother, you are so unreliable, and you have lost all your family business. ”

Xi Changzhen countered: "Do you care about the Xi family's family business? ”

Xi Yinglong said angrily: "Nonsense, how can I not care about the Xi family's family business? I see, the least important thing to care about is you, brother! Blatant slaughter of foreigners on the battlefield is not a good thing, do you think it is glorious? ”

Xi Changzhen said: "Yes, you care, I don't care." Get down to business! Get down to business! After a pause, Xi Changzhen said: "Li Zhen's posture is clearly preparing to encircle Guilin Mansion. Now you don't plan to send troops to the rescue, what do you think? ”

Xi Yinglong held his head high and said loudly: "One word, fight!" ”

Xi Changzhen was speechless for a moment, choked by Xi Yinglong's words.

Xi Yinglong smiled, a smile appeared on his rough and angular face, and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have already made arrangements." As the saying goes, even rabbits have to leave a few nests for themselves to avoid sudden problems. What's more, it's our Xi family? Rest assured, I've got it all arranged. ”

Xi Changzhen's forehead is full of black lines, it's terrible to be uneducated!

Compared with rabbits, what is this! The only thing that made Xi Changzhen more relieved was that this guy had arranged a back road, which could be regarded as a little reassuring to him.

……

On June 18, Yang Banhou led his army into Zhen'an Mansion.

On the same day, the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender and accept Yang Banhou's arrangement. By this time, Yang Banhou had already taken Zhen'an Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and Nanning Mansion, and the places in the southeast of Guangxi had been pacified. Yang Banhou settled the prefect of Zhen'an Mansion, arranged the troops of Zhen'an Mansion, and led his army north, preparing to join the army under Smith's command.

……

On June 22, Smith successfully captured Qingyuan Mansion and achieved a great victory. In addition to the Sicheng Mansion and Sien Mansion that Smith led the army to take before, Smith also swept the three prefecture capitals in the northwest of Guangxi.

Smith dealt with the problem of Qingyuan Mansion, and also waved his army north, heading towards Guilin Mansion in the north.

The two armies went straight to Guilin.

……

Pingle Mansion, in the government office.

Li Zhen received the news of Yang Banhou and Smith's victory, mobilized his army, and approached Guilin Mansion. The army entered Guilin Mansion and was not met with a strong counterattack by Xi Yinglong. Li Zhen guessed that the other party had shrunk his forces, so he continued to advance. After taking Yangshuo County, which was closest to Pingle County, Li Zhen led his army towards Yongfu County and quickly took Yongfu County.

At this time, Yang Banhou and Smith's army had already converged in Liuzhou and went north to Guilin Mansion together.

The two led the soldiers into Guilin Mansion and quickly took Yong'an Prefecture.

On July 26, the army of Yang Banhou and Smith arrived in Vinh Phuc County.

After a few months, the three armies converged again.

In the county office, Li Zhen washed the dust for Yang Banhou and Smith. Because the war is imminent, drinking is a shallow taste, after all, this is in the territory of Guilin Prefecture, and the situation of the battle must be considered.

……

Lingui County, Governor's Palace.

Because of Raywell's departure, only the army under the command of Xi Yinglong was left in Guilin Mansion, and the French army was never seen again. In the past few days, the expression on Xi Yinglong's face has obviously become haggard, only the shining eyes, and the strong fighting intent flashing in the eyes, still show Xi Yinglong's spiritual strength.

Xi Changzhen opened his mouth and said: "My lord, Li Zhen's army has arrived in Yongfu County, and it is already burning eyebrows. Success or failure, in one fell swoop. Defeat Li Zhen, and all losses can be recovered; If we are defeated by Li Zhen, we will definitely be defeated. ”

"Someone, bring the map!"

Xi Changzhen shouted, and immediately a soldier brought a map.

"Brother, let's discuss!"

Both of them stood next to the map, talking to the map, and determined the next battle plan.

ps: the second shift, call it a day; There is still one day before the live expo is over, and I finally have to get through it, cheer, cheer!!
