Xi Changzhen said coldly: "Li Zhen is too thief, too thief!" He tried so hard to chase after us, not because he was kind, but because he wanted to force us to Thanh Hoa City. I expected that Qinghua City must have fallen into the hands of Li Zhen. ”

Zhou Chen scratched his head and said, "General, how could Qinghua City fall?" Impossible. ”

"Li Zhen made a move, what is impossible!" Xi Changzhen said: "At the beginning, Li Zhen captured Xingyang County and Xiaoshui County, and it is likely that he has already sent people to Qinghua City. As for the means of attacking Qinghua City, there are many ways, you can attack by force, you can also use stratagems, and there are more methods. Moreover, Li Zhen also brought soldiers to Nanming Pass, which attracted my attention to Nanming Pass, so that I had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Qinghua City. Therefore, I expected that Qinghua City had been taken by Li Zhen, which is why Li Zhen was chasing after him. ”

Xi Changzhen praised Li Zhen's strategy again and again, and said: "Once we enter Qinghua City and are attacked from inside and outside, we really can't escape." ”

Zhou Chen stroked his palms and said, "The general is wise! ”

Xi Changzhen sighed and said, "Li Zhen, he is indeed a step better than me!" ”

Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "General, it's not that Li Zhen is smart, but that his weapons are more powerful." You've seen Li Zhen's weapons, and this time the soldiers under Li Zhen's command used far more powerful weapons than the last time they fought in Guangxi. The two armies are fighting, and we don't even have a chance to get close. Even if you want to get close to the soldiers under Li Zhen's command, you don't know how many of your own soldiers will have to die. Just this one, we are all far behind. ”

Xi Changzhen sighed: "Yes, now is not the time for thousands of troops to take the head of the enemy's army, not the era of personal force dominance, we must pay attention to weapons." ”

Zhou Chen was silent and did not interject.

Xi Changzhen continued: "Now is not the time to be sad, keep going!" Get rid of Li Zhen first. ”

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "Since you have discovered Li Zhen's purpose, how to go?" ”

Xi Changzhen replied: "It remains the same for the time being, but after approaching Qinghua City, it will gradually change direction and avoid Qinghua City." We will bypass Thanh Hoa City, go directly south to Rong City, and then go to Fuchun City, return to the national capital, and join His Majesty's army as soon as possible. Only in this way can we resist Li Zhen as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Understood!" ”

The army advanced, and the movements of Xi Changzhen's army were not leaked at first.

However, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng have been following behind and are familiar with each other's changes. When Xi Changzhen's marching route changed and he no longer went to Qinghua City, Chen Yucheng immediately reported the news to Li Zhen. After Li Zhen referred to the map, he immediately laughed and said: "Xi Changzhen is worthy of being a smart person, he is really a smart person!" It would be nice if this person could be of my use. ”

Chen Yucheng was confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

Seeing this, Li Zhen no longer daunted the mystery and explained: "Liu Jintang has sent a letter to take Qinghua City. The current Qinghua City is not Xi Changzhen's, it is ours. ”

When Chen Yucheng heard this, his mind turned quickly.

He suddenly realized and said, "Dashuai, you are forcing Xi Changzhen to go to Qinghua City!" The next moment, Chen Yucheng's head shook like a drum, and he said again and again: "No, no." Your persecution like this exposed our information and allowed Xi Changzhen to guess the reason for the chase. Now, Xi Changzhen has changed direction and no longer goes to Qinghua City, so there will be less chance of ambushing him! ”

Li Xiucheng continued: "President, what do you think? ”

They were completely confused, and they couldn't figure out what Li Zhen's true intentions were?

Li Zhen said: "I want to take Vietnam!" ”

The two rolled their eyes, this took Xi Changzhen, and then they moved towards the goal of winning Vietnam. The two looked at each other, knowing that Li Zhen was sloppy and refused to tell his true purpose. The two also stopped insisting and led the army to continue advancing. The army continued to advance, following Xi Changzhen's army in pursuit. It didn't take long for Lu Shaochuan to lead the soldiers to catch up and keep up with Li Zhen's army.

The armies converged and moved on.

When the army stopped to rest, the position of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Gobard, Rawell, Adams, Stopcilin, Ma Hui and others gathered together and sat on the ground to rest. Gobard looked at Ma Hui and asked, "Your Excellency Ma Hui, do you think something is wrong with Li Zhen recently?" ”

Ma Hui shook his head and said, "No, I think it's normal!" ”

Gobard waved his hand and said, "It's not that it's normal to eat and drink Lazar, it's that the brain is not normal." ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Ma Hui said.

Gobard said: "Take the matter of chasing Xi Changzhen as an example, he chased after him, but he didn't do it for a long time. This bites the rabbit's tail, why not swallow it? It's weird. You say, Li Zhen doesn't have a problem with his brain, or what? ”

Ma Hui shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "This, I don't know the reason." ”

Gobard said: "I think we should be ready! ”

"What are you going to do?" Rawell interjected and asked, Gobard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Xi Changzhen's defeat and Xi Yinglong's defeat is only a matter of time." With our current strength, it is difficult to have a voice in front of Li Zhen. You see, in this battle, we let Li Zhen attack Xi Changzhen with all his might, and Li Zhen didn't pay attention to it. Therefore, in order to gain the right to speak in the formation of Vietnam in the future, something should be done. ”

Rankfurt asked, "What does Lord Gobard have in mind?" ”

"If we do this,......, when the time comes, with the strength, everything will be easy," Gobard said. ”

Adams said, "I agree! ”

Rawell said, "I agree too!" ”

The rest of the group spoke up, agreeing with Gobard's suggestion.

……

Thanh Hoa City, inside the city.

Liu Jintang stood on the city tower, he had taken over Thanh Hoa City. Prior to this, Liu Jintang was ordered by Li Zhen to come to take Thanh Hoa City. After he arrived with more than 1,000 soldiers, he did not adopt the strategy of storming, but broke it into pieces and sent his soldiers into Thanh Hoa City in batches. Then, Liu Jintang ordered the soldiers to carry out the decapitation operation, took down the garrison officials of Qinghua City, and easily took over Qinghua City.

"Report!"

The soldier came to Liu Jintang and raised his hand to salute.

Liu Jintang said: "What's the matter? ”

The soldier said: "Report to the brigade commander, Xi Changzhen's department, which fled back in the direction of Qinghua City, changed the direction of the march, avoided Qinghua City, and ran in the direction of Rongcheng and Donghai City in the south. ”

Liu Jintang said: "If you want to run, how can it be so easy, give the order to pursue!" ”

The soldier did not convey the order, and continued: "The President has also conveyed an order that you are strictly forbidden to send troops, and that you will join the President when the President's forces arrive." The president said that Xi Changzhen was deliberately let go by him, which has a strategic purpose, and hopes that the brigade commander will obey the order! ”

"Understood!"

Liu Jintang looked helpless after hearing this, so he had to respond.
