Li Zhongju smiled and said, "Ben Du knows that Master Zhang, you are an extremely confident person like me, Ben Du wants to know if you dare to make a bet with Ben Du?" ”

Zhang Zhidong became interested, "Governor Li, I don't know how to gamble?" ”

Li Zhongju said lightly, "Let's use this battle to prove that the loser unconditionally surrenders to the winner, how about it?" Mr. Zhang. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Zhidong was surprised, and began to weigh the pros and cons, Li Zhongju was right, both of them were extremely confident people. Of course, Zhang Zhidong believes that he will win, so in his heart, Zhang Zhidong is actually very happy.

After careful consideration, Zhang Zhidong still agreed, "This governor agreed, and I hope that Governor Li will keep his word." ”

Li Zhongju said loudly, "The husband is hard to chase after him. As long as the governor loses, the governor will unconditionally obey Lord Zhang's arrangement. But what if Master Zhang loses? ”

Zhang Zhidong immediately said, "This governor will not lose. ”

Li Zhongju said with some anger, "Master Zhang is so sure that he can win." But what if it happens, Master Zhang really loses? ”

Zhang Zhidong said in a deep voice, "If this governor really loses, you can dispose of it." ”

"Okay, Ben Governor understands." Li Zhongju was waiting for this sentence.

Li Zhongju said again, "Lord Zhang, the development of ancient history must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. I think you have seen the situation in various places clearly by now, except for the governors of Jingshi and Liangjiang and Guangzhou, who firmly control the military power in their jurisdictions. Elsewhere, it was not the governors who controlled the military power. ”

"Aren't these governors the predecessors of warlords? Just like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty. What does this mean, I believe Master Zhang understands it in his heart. Do you think the Qing court will be able to mobilize troops from all over the world in the future? Even if it's two rivers and two Guangzhous, it's gone. ”

Li Zhongju continued, "This is not to say that you and Zeng Guoquan are not loyal enough, but the army under your command listens to whom, the Qing court, is still yours. You should understand that. ”

Zhang Zhidong nodded, but he did not refute, he also understood that with the first foreign war forty years ago, the Qing court's control over various places had obviously begun to decline.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong and nodded, "In fact, the greatest wish of this governor in his life is to strengthen the Chinese nation, so that our China will never be bullied again." Lord Zhang, the Qing court has become a mud that can't be supported, haven't you thought about changing it in a different way? ”

Zhang Zhidong's heart was full of shock, but he immediately calmed down, "This governor is loyal to the Qing court. ”

Li Zhongju said again, "Is there a chance to make the Chinese nation strong, but the adults must stand on the opposite side of the Qing court, are you still willing to act as the minions of the Qing court?" ”

Zhang Zhidong shook his head, "It's impossible to ,......"

Li Zhongju immediately interrupted, "Master Zhang, let's think about it, remember our agreement, and say goodbye!" ”

Li Zhongju knew that Zhang Zhidong was a literati and a literati with arrogance, so he had to plant a seed in his heart first, a seed that would not be broken or established.

Li Zhongju believes that once this seed is buried in Zhang Zhidong's heart, he will unconsciously think about this aspect, and slowly he will find that changing the original methods and means of doing things can indeed change the fate of the nation.

This gentleman is not a loss at all compared to Li Zhongju, because Li Zhongju will not lose, he can't lose, and he can't afford to lose. But Li Zhongju will definitely not lose, after all, Li Zhongju is much stronger than Zhang Zhidong.

Li Zhongju knew that Liangguang was different from Guizhou, Guizhou was remote, and the Qing court really didn't really care, and even the army under the commander's command was still a green battalion, which showed that it was general.

In many other places, the army under the command of the governor is the elite selected from the green battalion, forming a training army, and its strength is far superior to that of the green battalion. In other places, this era of green camp has retired from the stage of history.

The Liangguang training army under the command of Zhang Zhidong is a relatively high training army in the whole country, after all, there is a lot of money and food in the two Guangzhou, and the best weapons and ammunition can be purchased from the foreign powers.

However, what Zhang Zhidong didn't know was that Li Zhongju's Zhenwu Army was definitely much better than the training army in terms of equipment and soldier quality.

Zhang Zhidong immediately led nearly 100 soldiers to leave here and return to Qingyuan Mansion City. Zhang Zhidong has to go back and prepare well.

Li Zhongju watched Zhang Zhidong leave, but he didn't think about keeping him, I'm afraid Zhang Zhidong would never have dreamed that Li Zhongju alone could easily solve nearly a hundred of them.

Li Zhongju also left with everyone.

Li Zhongju returned to Liping Mansion City and immediately told Liu Jiang and Song Naruto about his bet with Zhang Zhidong. After Liu Jiang and Song Naruto heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, after all, Zhang Zhidong was indeed a very powerful person.

Li Zhongju stared at the two of them tightly, "You don't have any pressure in your heart, you must have enough confidence in our Zhenwu Army." Although there are 30,000 people on the other side, we also have 7,000 people, so rest assured that we will not lose. ”

"Yes, Commander." Liu Jiang and the others shouted loudly, they were just lost for a moment, and their state immediately returned, still the same invincible and fearless state as before.

Li Zhongju watched the two of them regain their former self-confidence, and nodded secretly, "You go down and prepare, you can't transfer troops without a military order." ”

"Yes, Commander." The two replied loudly.

Li Zhongju thought quietly, not knowing where his thoughts were drifting, no one knew what Li Zhongju was thinking at this time?

Zhang Zhidong returned to Qingyuan Mansion and immediately gathered more than a dozen generals to Qingyuan Zhizhou Mansion, looking at these generals, Zhang Zhidong did not feel that he would lose.

Zhang Zhidong said, "Generals, this governor has made a bet with Li Zhongju, the governor of Guizhou, that in the next battle, we must win." ”

A burly general said, "Your Excellency the Governor, Li Zhongju made a bet with you, didn't he lose?" With the equipment and strong soldiers of our Liangguang training army, how could Li Zhongju be our opponent. ”

"My lord, General Zhang is right, the last general also heard that Li Zhongju only has a few thousand troops here, and it is impossible for him to defeat our army at all."

More than a dozen generals, every word you say to me, in short, they all think that the two vast armies will definitely be stronger than the Guizhou army, and there is no pressure on the other side.

Zhang Zhidong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The generals have such thoughts, and the governor is very happy, and the governor is also convinced that our Liangguang training army will definitely be able to defeat Li Zhongju's army." ”

The crowd burst out laughing, and they laughed so happily.

Haven't they heard the saying that the future is unpredictable, no one will know what will happen, and the future is full of uncertainty.
