Chapter 985: The Xi brothers retreated
After implementing the strategy of encircling three and missing one for Fuchun, Li Zhen did not move for several days.
Similarly, there was no news from the city.
This situation has made the people of the Eight-Nation Coalition angry. It's just that after the last time Lywell sneered at Li Zhen, Lywell was turned around and scolded by Li Zhen, so that no one dared to ask, and they all waited quietly, watching the movement of Fuchun City. At the same time, the commanders and envoys of the eight countries were looking forward to Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong leaving one step earlier, and then taking Phu Xuan to form the Vietnamese government.
The tent of the Eight-Nation Alliance, where everyone gathered.
What we talked about was nothing more than Vietnam's.
"Report!!"
A loud shout came from outside the tent, and a soldier strode in. After the soldier stood still, he saluted the commanders present and said loudly: "Report to the commanders, there is movement in Fuchun City." To the west of Fuchun City, the army under Li Zhen opened a gap, and now the outpost soldiers of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong have begun to inquire about the situation. It is expected that Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong have already planned to withdraw from Fuchun City. ”
"Run, resolutely can't let him escape!"
Gobard's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Xi Changzhen has killed countless of our soldiers, and he can't let him escape!" ”
"I agree with Lord Gobard!" ”
Stopcilin said: "In the past, we fought with Xi Changzhen, and we lost thousands of soldiers in the first battle, which is thousands of lives. If you can defeat Xi Changzhen now, you must not let Xi Changzhen go. ”
Ma Hui had a harmless smile on his face, and his eyes fell on Gobard.
The corners of his mouth turned up into a meaningful smile.
Gobard's heart suddenly, what is this kid staring at him?
Ma Hui said nonchalantly: "Mr. Gobard is the leader of our eight-nation alliance, and now, Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong have already given birth to signs of escaping, so Mr. Gobard should go to Li Zhen and ask Li Zhen to send troops to encircle and suppress." I believe that Mr. Gobard told Li Zhen about his inference, which is not too much, and it is not a difficult task. Makes sense, don't you think? ”
Raywell's eyes rolled and he said, "I agree!" Adams said, "I agree too!" ”
Stopicillin said: "Mr. Ma Hui's words are what I want to say. Of all of us, Mr. Gobard is the most prestigious, the most resilient, and the most experienced when it comes to Mr. Gobard. Only when Mr. Gobard tells Li Zhen the news, is the most appropriate way, Li Zhen will be convinced, and he will not dare to be angry at you. For the sake of the future of the Eight Nations, for the glory of the Eight Nations, please Mr. Gobard do not shirk! ”
Immediately after that, the rest of the people all persuaded him.
None of the envoys and commanders of various countries were willing to help Gobard speak.
For the sake of profit, someone has to go.
This person is Gobard!
At this time, Gobard was so angry that he glared at Ma Hui a few times, fierce and vicious. If gaze can kill, Ma Hui has been dead I don't know how many times. Ma Hui is an extremely thick-skinned person, and he has reached the point where the eight winds are not moving, and Gobard's eyes have no effect on him. Not only that, but Ma Hui continued: "Mr. Gobard, all gentlemen have only one purpose, and that is to serve the interests of the eight countries. ”
Gobard was driven to the shelves, couldn't refuse, and said, "Okay, I'll go find Li Zhen!" ”
"Well done!"
Rawell gave a thumbs up, a weird smile on his face.
That expression was clearly schadenfreude.
Gobard didn't have the same acquaintance as Rawell, got up and left the tent, and headed for Li Zhen's Chinese army tent. After the soldiers reported the news to Li Zhen, Gobard entered the camp tent, and when he saw Li Zhen, he took the initiative to say: "President, I have come to report something to you this time. ”
Li Zhen said: "Mr. Gobard, we are brothers in the trenches, living and dying together, what do you mean by 'reporting work'?" If you have something to say directly, who are we with whom! ”
Gobard raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that we weren't wearing a pair of pants.
Immediately, Gobard smiled and said, "President, here's the thing, our scouts have detected that Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong's soldiers have been operating outside the west city gate, and continue to search outside. We have summed it up, and we estimate that this may be a precursor for Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong brothers to plan to withdraw from Fuchun, so I will tell you. ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately understood.
The Eight-Nation Coalition knew the news and did not dare to give him an order, so they came to report it.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Gobard, I have also sent a sentry to follow the news of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong." To tell you not Mr. Gobard, I have ordered the soldiers to be ready, and ordered Liu Jintang to lead 3,000 soldiers to be on standby at any time, which is the number of a brigade. With our firepower, this is quite powerful, enough to take down Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong. ”
"Now that the president is ready, I'm leaving," Gobard said. ”
"Don't send it!" Li Zhen said dryly.
After Gobard left, Liu Jintang walked in and asked, "President, what are Gobard doing on that dog's day?" ”
Li Zhen said: "Let me send troops to exterminate Xi Yinglong!" ”
Liu Jintang said: "It's so beautiful, do you really think that our soldiers are transferred casually? ”
Li Zhen didn't dwell on this topic, changed the conversation, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Liu Jintang reported: "President, at present, the brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong have made a decision. Coupled with the analysis of the news from the people in the city, it is speculated from various signs in the city that the Xi brothers do intend to withdraw. Next, let's start 'chasing and killing' the Xi brothers who escaped from the city, how should this move be operated? ”
Li Zhen said something in Liu Jintang's ear, and Liu Jintang turned around and left.
……
Three days later, the west gate of Fuchun City.
With a creak, the door opened.
The sound of neat footsteps came, and the army galloped all the way, and it was the army under the command of Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen who went out of the city. Among them, the vanguard army rushed to the front, Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong were in the center, and a large number of soldiers followed behind, plus the soldiers who escorted grain and grass, a large number of soldiers were dispatched. When the news reached the barracks, the barracks of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army immediately became excited.
They paid attention to Li Zhen's movements, and when they saw Li Zhen's soldiers pursuing, they all waited for news.
Everything depends on Li Zhen.
Hope is good, reality is cruel.
A day later, the news from the front reached the ears of Gobard, Ma Hui, Adams and others. Li Zhen's soldiers pursued the fleeing Eight-Nation Alliance, but they were unsuccessful, and Li Zhen's army never won a fierce battle. Such a result made Gobard and the others suspicious, and after they got together to discuss, they unanimously recommended Gobard to go to Li Zhen's military camp to inquire about the situation.
This matter must be resolved.
Otherwise, the strategy of using Li Zhen to defeat Xi Changzhen's brothers would be ineffective.
