Chapter 986: Gobard Tricked
When Gobard heard that it was himself, he cursed in his heart.
Li Zhen, that guy is a bull temper, and if he doesn't say a word, he will turn his face. If he went to see Li Zhen, he accidentally angered Li Zhen and was humiliated by Li Zhen, it would be really a shame. He waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly excused himself: "I can't, I can't." The last time I went to look for Li Zhen, it wasn't long before I went to him again, which would definitely make Li Zhen impatient. In my opinion, this time, Mr. Ma Hui is the most suitable to go. Mr. Ma Hui and Li Zhensu have a good relationship, and he is the most suitable person to go. I believe that Mr. Ma Hui's visit will be a success. ”
The corners of Gobard's mouth rose slightly, and a chuckle appeared.
Last time, it was Ma Hui who pouted everyone and made everyone unanimously let him go.
This time, he also gave Ma Hui a dismissal.
Otherwise, Ma Hui really doesn't know who is the boss in the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Ma Hui's face remained unchanged, his expression was calm, and he said without hurry: "Mr. Gobard, I have a small question in my heart, and I want to ask Mr. Gobard to answer it. ”
Gobard subconsciously frowned, but still said, "Please speak!" ”
Ma Hui said: "Do you think Li Zhen is a person who can tell the truth? Especially when it is related to the interests of Li Zhen in his hands, will Li Zhen give face? ”
Gobard choked for a moment, but also said, "It should be possible." ”
This sentence has no confidence.
Ma Hui shook his head and said affirmatively: "Li Zhen is a very utilitarian person, and he pays great attention to interests, especially when it comes to his interests, and it is absolutely impossible to talk about human feelings. Although I will have contact with Li Zhen, let's not forget that the United States once led troops to attack Taiwan, and was soon expelled by Li Zhen's army. This move angered Li Zhen, which led to the issuance of the "Letter of Appeal to the State" and the expulsion of all American citizens living in China. ”
"Li Zhen is a very principled person, when it comes to the country and the country's affairs, he will never be emotional. So, it didn't work for me to go. In fact, my status in Li Zhen's mind is far inferior to yours, after all, you are the leader of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and your words can only be counted. ”
After a pause, Ma Hui looked at the rest of the people and said, "Everyone said, isn't this the truth?" ”
Rankford said: "Yes, I agree with Mr. Ma Hui's words. ”
Stopicillin continued: "I agree too! ”
Rawell smiled and said, "I agree with Mr. Ma Hui's words, there is still a festival between Mr. Ma Hui and Li Zhen, and it is not suitable to go." And Mr. Gobard is our mainstay, highly respected and experienced, and only Mr. Gobard can go. ”
As soon as the three of them took the lead, the rest of the people chimed in.
Gobard was shocked and stared at Ma Hui in great surprise.
This guy's popularity, is it so good?
Gobard was forced into a corner by people from all over the world, and he couldn't refuse. With a helpless look on his face, he had to agree: "Okay, I'll go!" I'll go find Li Zhen. ”
Although he wanted to refuse, could he refuse?
But then again, when it comes to the interests of the eight countries and the interests of Britain in Vietnam, he may not be at ease if it is someone else. For this, he thought to himself that he would have to make a trip himself.
Gobard came to Li Zhen's tent and asked to see Li Zhen.
The soldiers brought Gobard in, and after seeing Li Zhen, Gobard said straight to the point: "President, the brothers Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong have left Fuchun City and started to flee to the west of Vietnam with the soldiers. Regarding the pursuit of Xi Changzhen, it has not yet achieved results, and we are all worried! Once Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong escaped, it would be to let the tiger return to the mountain, and there would be endless troubles. ”
As soon as he said this, Li Zhen's complexion changed.
Gobard was afraid that Li Zhen would be angry, so he immediately stopped what he had just said, changed his words, and said: "I came to meet the president, not to point fingers in the pursuit of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong, not to interfere with the president's orders. It's just that I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid that I'm going to leave Brother Xi Changzhen, if there's something wrong, please forgive the president. ”
At the end of the day, Gobard was also afraid of Li Zhen.
The expression on Li Zhen's face became pleasant, and he said, "Mr. Gobard, I also want to say a word of apology about the attack on Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong. ”
Gobard asked, "How?" ”
Li Zhen sighed and said: "After Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong led the army to escape from Fuchun, I sent Liu Jintang, one of the most powerful generals under my command, to lead the army to pursue, wanting to take down Xi Changzhen's brothers in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Liu Jintang was arrogant, thinking that the Xi Yinglong brothers were defeated, so he didn't take it to heart. Under a careless situation, Liu Jintang fell for the other party's scheme, so that he failed and returned. Alas, it's a shame to say! ”
After a pause, Li Zhen shouted: "Come on, bring Liu Jintang, this dog thing!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers went to convey the order, and soon Liu Jintang walked in.
Liu Jintang stiffened his face and said ashamedly: "President! ”
Li Zhen snorted, his eyes fell on Gobard, and said, "Mr. Gobard, the person is right in front of you." If there is anything you want to ask, or if you want to open your mouth to scold, just say it. This kid failed to complete the task, and he should be scolded. I'm ashamed to have raised such a useless person under my command! It's really a shame to trust Mr. Gobard. ”
When Gobard heard this, he was embarrassed to reprimand!
If it reaches your mouth, you can only swallow it back.
Immediately, Gobard said: "President, it has already happened that I didn't catch up with Xi Changzhen's brothers, and there is no point in holding him accountable." What we need to do now is to make up for the mistakes as soon as possible. Ask the president to change the person who leads the troops, and once again lead the troops to pursue the Xi Changzhen brothers. If you can't catch up now, I'm afraid it's too late! ”
Li Zhen waved his hand and said heroically: "Please rest assured, I have sent Lu Shaochuan to the top." Mr. Gobard, you should know Lu Shaochuan, and Mr. Ma Hui, the American envoy, also know. When I was in Shanghai, Lu Shaochuan followed me. He is reliable, and he is also an expert in war, and this kid once suffered a big loss in the hands of Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong. This time, I will do my best to lead the troops. ”
When Gobard heard that Lu Shaochuan and the Xi brothers were celebrating the festival again, a happy color appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Okay, good, this Lu Shaochuan is good, he should go." ”
In fact, Gobard didn't know Lu Shaochuan.
Gobard doesn't know much about the people under Li Zhen's command, at most he knows the people who often appear around Li Zhen. It's just that Li Zhendu said that Ma Hui knew, and he couldn't say that he didn't know him, and he couldn't afford to lose this face, so Gobard was sloppy, he didn't say he knew, he didn't say he didn't know, as long as Lu Shaochuan led the army to fight, it was enough. Gobard accomplished his goal, and then took his leave.
Leaving the camp, he was very satisfied with the final result, and walked lightly.
