Outside the city of Guangzhou.

Li Zhen's army arrived at the outer gates of Guangzhou, but the gates were closed and Li Zhen was not allowed to enter the city

The big army marches and camps, and the army tents

Li Zhen and all the generals in the army gathered, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zhu Wu, and asked: "Zhu Wu, you led the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion to Guangzhou to inquire about the situation and tell me about the current situation in Guangzhou."

"Yes"

Zhu Wu nodded and immediately said: "From the soldiers who infiltrated the city, after the news came back, Ye Mingchen would rather die than surrender, and was imprisoned in the governor's yamen, the governor of Guangdong, Bai Gui, and the foreigners colluded to control the city of Guangzhou, and it was difficult for the marshal to enter the city, if he wanted to enter the city, it would be difficult."

""

After Li Zhen heard this, his eyes were already flashing with rage

It is not an exaggeration to call such people traitors

Li Zhen's expression was gloomy, his eyes swept over the generals in the army, and he said coldly: "It is definitely not cost-effective to attack the city of Guangzhou, even if it costs countless artillery and ammunition, it may not be possible to take Guangzhou, and the question in front of us at present is how to take Guangzhou?" If you can't fight hard, you can only outwit, how to outwit? Let's talk about it."

Liu Taiping sat on the left side and said: "My lord is reasonable, this battle can only be outwitted, not hard"

Zhu Wumo shook his hands and said: "Some of the soldiers of the Great Shuai Sharp Knife Battalion have already infiltrated the city, as long as the order is conveyed, they can carry out the task of beheading, and get rid of Bullon, Bao Ling, Rayel and Adams in one fell swoop, once the foreigners in the city lose the commander, this battle will be over."

From Zhu Wu leading the soldiers to Guangzhou, and then Guangzhou was under martial law, Zhu Wu pondered about taking Guangzhou

For the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion, decapitation is undoubtedly the best way

If it was a large-scale engagement, there were only more than 100 soldiers in the Sharp Knife Battalion rushing forward, I am afraid that it would be over in a short time, and the moment Li Zhen proposed to outwit Guangzhou, Zhu Wu knew that the opportunity had come

Li Zhen hadn't agreed yet, and the joy in Zhu Wu's heart didn't last long, Smith stood up, poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said loudly: "Shuai, I don't think Company Commander Zhu's plan is feasible."

"Why not?" Li Zhen immediately asked

Zhu Wu raised his eyebrows and snorted: "Commander Smith, you are jealous of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion, the special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion are trained to perform special tasks, the foreigners control the Guangzhou army, and they can't break the city for the time being, it is the opportunity for the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to emerge, and you are doing this clearly for the Sharp Knife Battalion."

Zhu Wu's excitement was stopped by Smith, and he spoke very politely

Seeing this, Li Zhen waved his hand and comforted: "Zhu Wu, don't wait for Smith to finish speaking."

Zhu Wu still snorted angrily, but did not speak again

Smith understood Zhu Wu's mood, and was not angry, and said unhurriedly: "Shuai, I said that Company Commander Zhu's proposal is not feasible because he is carrying out the task of decapitation, and the British and French forces attacking Guangzhou on a large scale already belong to the national war, and the declaration of war between Britain and France and the Manchus is no longer a small fight."

"The Anglo-French alliance must have started the war with the support of the British Plenipotentiary in China and the Governor of Hong Kong, Han, if the Sharp Knife Battalion infiltrated the city and killed Adams, Raywell, Bourron and Bao Ling in the city, it would be detrimental to the commander in the long run."

"Just imagine, the marshal killed the commander of the Anglo-French coalition army, took all the hatred in his arms, and became the object of hatred of the Anglo-French coalition, which provoked the Anglo-French coalition army, and the British and French would definitely take advantage of the countless deaths of soldiers to incite the domestic people to stir up revenge, and once again send a larger fleet to take revenge."

"There are too many dead people to suppress hatred"

"Then I am afraid that my lord will have to bear the wrath of Britain and France."

"However, if the beheading is changed to capture, only the capture of Adams and Bourron and others, the news of the defeat of the British and French forces reaches the British and French, and they can only be forced to accept it, and they dare not raise troops on a large scale, after all, the war needs money, and there are countless prisoners in the hands of the commander."

"As soon as Britain and France send troops, the marshal will use the threat of killing all British and French soldiers to force Britain and France not to dare to act rashly"

"It's a foreign thing, let's talk about it at home"

Smith paused and paused, and continued: "If the marshal kills all the foreigners, the British and French will definitely coerce the emperor, once the Manchus can't support the marshal, he may be pushed out as a scapegoat, as long as the marshal does not form a mortal enmity with the foreigners, the marshal still has elite soldiers in his hands, and the British and French coalition forces will not dare to act rashly."

Smith said calmly: "Considering the benefits of capturing Bourlong and Adams and others from all aspects, killing more is probably really self-defeating."

Zhu Wu's face smiled again when he heard this

Whether it is captured or beheaded, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion only need to meet this point

Li Zhen didn't believe it all after hearing it

Xianfeng may push him out as a scapegoat, which Li Zhen believes

However, the so-called disagreement with foreigners is not correct

With the relationship between Li Zhen and the British and French forces, it has long been a situation of endless death, and it involves only the question of how to earn the maximum benefits, after all, the consuls of Britain and France in the sea have been killed by Li Zhen, and dozens of fleets of Britain and France have sunk into the sea, and countless soldiers have lost countless losses, which is an endless situation

In addition, when Earl, Adams, Bao Ling and others left the sea, they were humiliated by Li Zhen in every way, which made it impossible for Bourlong and Bao Ling to give up their hatred

Li Zhen is very clear about this

However, Li Zhen agreed with Smith's opinion that he would capture but not kill, because leaving his life could earn more benefits, Li Zhen looked at Zhu Wu and ordered: "This commander decided to adopt Smith's suggestion, and the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion will start capturing Bullon, Adams and others in the city."

"It's the last general, I'm going to arrange it"

Zhu Wu was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately turned around and prepared to leave

"Zhu Lian is long and slow"

When Zhu Wuxing rushed outside, Liu Taiping's voice came from behind him

Zhu Wu asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you command?" ”

Liu Taiping said: "The special forces of the Sharp Knife Battalion capture the foreigners is only one of the aspects, you must consider the unsuccessful situation, you pass the news to the soldiers lurking in the city, and let some of them contact Chen Qiankun, the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Qiankun will help, once Chen Qiankun agrees, the foreigners in the city will not be a problem."

"Yes," Zhu Wu nodded immediately

Li Zhen was inspired and ordered: "I will give you another task, send someone to contact Ye Mingchen, who is imprisoned in the governor's yamen, he is the governor of Liangguang, and he has stayed in Guangzhou for a long time, even if he is imprisoned, there are still certain channels, so let Ye Mingchen also take action to deal with Baigui and foreigners, and plan for us to enter the city."

"Yes"

Zhu Wu got several tasks in a row, not only did he not worry, but became more and more excited

The more quests there are, the more useful the Blade Battalion will be
