Lywell chuckled in his heart, does Li Xiucheng want to refuse?

At this moment, Spicel was also a little nervous. Although Rachel was sure that Li Xiucheng would not dare to do anything with him, this was a judgment made by Li Xiucheng when he was sober-minded. Rawell doesn't know Li Xiucheng's style of doing things, once the relationship between the two parties is stiff, and Li Xiucheng's brain suddenly heats up, things are easy to go beyond the scope of inference.

Li Xiucheng swept his eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

The person in front of you can't afford to be stable!

Li Xiucheng still did not speak, with a contemplative look on his face, as if he was considering the possibility of anti-dumping cooperation. Even, Li Xiucheng frowned from time to time, which made Rawell even more nervous.

Rawell asked again: "General Li, what do you think of our cooperation?" ”

Li Xiucheng listened to the translator's words and said in embarrassment: "It's not easy to do!" ”

When Rawell understood, he immediately said, "What's so bad? The coalition forces and the generals attacked Shanghai together, and when they took Shanghai, they would fight again to decide which side would stay in Shanghai. The general should understand that Li Zhen's entrenchment in Shanghai is not beneficial to your country, but the coalition forces can live in peace with your country, so defeating Li Zhen together is the best way. ”

"Report!"

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in!"

Li Xiucheng shouted, and the soldiers outside the camp hurriedly walked in.

The soldier saw Rawell and the others sitting in the big tent, his eyes were frighteningly cold, and there was a faint murderous aura around him, eager to devour Rawell and the others alive. However, because Li Xiucheng was here, the soldiers didn't dare to make a mistake after all, so they walked up to Li Xiucheng and bent down and whispered something in his ear.

When the soldier finished speaking, he bowed and stood again.

Li Xiucheng asked coldly, "Is the matter true?" ”

"Absolutely!"

The soldier replied in a deep voice.

Li Xiucheng waved his hand and said, "Go down, I am free to judge this matter." ”

"Yes!" The soldier immediately turned and left.

Li Xiucheng thought for a long time, his brows suddenly relaxed, his expression was still cold and serious, and he said solemnly: "Your Excellency, do you know what kind of news the soldiers came to deliver? ”

Rawell rolled his eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know! ”

Li Xiucheng said: "The soldiers just received the news that the massacre of civilians by the coalition army was spreading around Shanghai County. My soldiers, who were also civilians, were indignant and angry when they learned of your evil deeds, and they wanted to kill you. Think about it, if I cooperate with you, it will go against the will of the military, this is a loss-making deal, not cost-effective! ”

Rawell understood what the soldier had just done, rolled his eyes, but said, "General Li, you are wrong. ”

"Oh, how could I be wrong?" Li Xiucheng asked rhetorically.

Rawell said: "The coalition forces attacked Shanghai, and we did not massacre the people, which is Li Zhen's slander. In fact, the warships of the coalition forces suddenly arrived in Shanghai and caught Li Zhen by surprise. Li Zhen didn't have time to send troops to resist, so he drove the people around the dock to block the advance of the coalition army and buy time for himself to arrange defenses. This is the truth of the facts, please don't believe the rumors. Li Zhen was afraid that we would unite, so he deliberately separated us, so he didn't fall for the trick. ”

A cold light flashed in Li Xiucheng's eyes, but he said, "No matter what, you always kill the people." ”

Seeing that Li Xiucheng was reluctant to cooperate, Lawell had run out of patience.

Rawell suddenly stood up and said loudly: "General Li, you and the Great Qing Kingdom will not be separated, and the war between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom is also intensifying. Prior to this, Britain and France remained neutral and did not interfere in the struggle between the two countries. If at this critical moment, the allied warships suddenly participate in the war and help the Qing State attack Nanjing, I am afraid that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be destroyed! ”

"You ......"

Li Xiucheng stood up and shouted, "You are looking for death!" ”

With a sonorous sound, Li Xiucheng drew his sword and faced each other.

Rawell looked calm, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm looking for death, it's that the coalition forces need General Li's cooperation." If General Li is willing to cooperate with us, we may also take the position of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and help you defeat the Qing Kingdom. ”

Li Xiucheng sat down dejectedly and said dejectedly: "Okay, I promise to cooperate." ”

Rawell said proudly: "The general is wise! ”

Li Xiucheng said: "The two sides want to attack the Qing army outside the city together, and the most important thing is to find the place where the Qing army is hiding. Therefore, we will first search for the traces of the other party, and then discuss when to send troops. ”

"Okay, just do as the general says."

Rawell got up to take his leave, and left with a few soldiers and an interpreter.

Li Xiucheng stared at the back of Lawell's departure, his eyes were cold, flashing with a cold murderous intent.

Zhang Shu immediately said: "General, the slaughter of civilians by foreigners is absolutely a fact, and there is no room for quibbling. Sharp Earl blamed Li Zhen on the matter, how can you believe it? Foreigners do all kinds of evil, and it is really ...... for you to cooperate with them Alas, even if you are threatened by foreigners, you should not give in. ”

Li Xiucheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhang Shu, do you think I gave in?" Hmph, there's a lot you don't know. The foreigners are smug, but they don't know that all this is deliberately done by me to make them take it lightly. I not only want to destroy the demons outside the city, but also the foreigners who do all kinds of evil. ”

Zhang Shu's mind couldn't turn, and asked, "Isn't it cooperation?" Why do you want to destroy foreigners again? ”

"Idiot!"

Li Xiucheng said: "When foreigners slaughter the people, the crime is unforgivable, so they naturally want to be killed." Li Zhen wanted to force me to break with the foreigners, but this intention could not be concealed from me. It's a pity that I already have a foolproof plan in my heart, and let Li Zhen use all kinds of schemes, I will stand still, and wait for the foreigners and the Qing army outside the city to be solved in one fell swoop, and then take the county seat. ”

Zhang Shu asked again: "General, how to solve the foreigners?" ”

Li Xiucheng said in a deep voice: "You are a big mouth, telling you that you will definitely leak the news." You don't need to know so much, you just need to execute the command. When the foreigners are destroyed, I will ask for credit for you. ”

Zhang Kill smiled and showed a simple smile.

Li Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Things have developed according to my expectations, and they have already completed a small halfway. Next, just wait for the Qing army to send someone to contact. ”

"Qing Army??"

Zhang Kill's brain was completely confused, and said: "We and the Qing army are like fire and water, how can we coexist?" ”

Li Xiucheng looked at Zhang Shu's rough and dark cheeks, and wanted to smash it down with a punch. However, looking at the curiosity in Zhang Shu's eyes, Li Xiucheng felt a little proud in his heart, and explained: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the current pattern is three-legged, and there will naturally be two parties and alliances, and one side will be eliminated." ”

Zhang Kill rolled his eyes and said, "General, isn't this the Three Kingdoms you said?" ”

Li Xiucheng said in a deep voice: "It is indeed a three-legged stand, but my intention is not to unite one party and destroy one party, but to destroy both parties in one fell swoop." Although it is difficult to destroy both sides at the same time, it is not impossible, and I have already thought of a plan to play a big game. ”

Zhang Shu took a deep breath and said, "General, you are too powerful. ”

Li Xiucheng smiled smugly, happy and excited in his heart.
