readx;? There was a clatter of footsteps in the long hallway, and soon the hurried footsteps stopped at the door of Brion's study in Paris. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 There was a knock on the door of the info study: dang, dang, dang.

"Please come in. Brion was discussing with Languedotte how to deal with Louis XVI, who was about to make a move, and everyone could see the breakdown of Brion's relationship with the royal family, and what he was most worried about now was that Louis XVI and the Bourbon royal family were not willing to lose, and were ready to accumulate strength and make a final battle with the revolutionary party. Hearing a knock on the door outside, the two had no choice but to stop talking and set their eyes on the door.

MacDonald hurriedly pushed open the door, and after giving Brion a military salute, he handed a document to Brion: "Duke, there's an urgent report ahead of Skynet." ”

Brion already sensed something was wrong when he saw MacDonald's appearance, and he was instantly stunned when he saw the words on the document. It turned out that the Bourbons had made close arrangements before. By 5 October, 2,000 mercenaries had arrived in the city of Malmeçon, just outside Paris. Briand's old superior, Pisglou, at the time of his time in the Rhine Legion, was secretly stationed at Fontainebleau with 5,000 soldiers.

As for the sudden appearance of seven thousand troops, there is no need to guess, Brion can immediately conclude that it is a royalist army. Whether Louis XVI can successfully turn the tables will also depend on these two rescue armies, so at the beginning Pisgru and the royalists strictly blocked the news. As a result, Brion didn't even notice that the 7,000 troops were inserted under his nose.

There is no doubt that if Skynet does not get the information three or four days late, then the city of Paris will be besieged by the royalist army and fall into a bitter situation, and Brion will have to pay a great price if he wants to win the war with only 3,000 troops in his hands.

"This is a terrible situation, the Pisglo army and the royalist army occupy Fontainebleau and Malmeçon respectively, with a total of 7,000 troops. It seems that Louis XVI has already started to do it, and he will definitely not let me go!" said Brion, frowning.

Languedot narrowed his eyes and coughed twice before he said in an old voice: "This is not very easy, we have fallen into a passive situation. ”

"If that's the case, we'll fight to the death with Louis XVI's army. In addition, the National Guard in the city of Paris numbered more than 4,000 people. MacDonald said.

Brion was silent for a while, and then said, "Fight to the death?" Now that the royalist army of 7,000 has surrounded the city of Paris, the situation is obviously unfavorable. Versailles also had the threat of Louis XVI's royal guards, plus the gap between the revolutionaries and us. It's not good. ”

"By the way, isn't there still Bernadotte's 1st Division of the Rhine Army and Davout's 3rd Division stationed in the Jura region?" asked MacDonald.

Brion glanced at him and sighed: "It's hard to fight the fire from afar, and there is no army we can mobilize in the Paris area." ”

"I see a chance to change the status quo. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Brion, looking at Languedot.

"As long as the war has not begun, we have enough leverage. And our only breakthrough is the most weighty reliance of the royal party. Languedot coughed lightly twice: "I remember that Pisglou was the corps commander when you were the division commander of the Rhine Legion, right?" ”

"I know what to do. Briand turned his head to look at MacDonald: "Quickly send someone to ask Desai to order the troops to be on guard in Brienna, and be sure to keep an eye on the movements of Pisgru's Rhine army." I am about to lead a guard to Fontainebleau and order Skynet to carry out a general ambush at Fontainebleau in case the situation is not good. ”

"Duke, now that both sides are hostile, it is too risky for you to go like this. ”

Brion understood that MacDonald also meant well, and patted him on the shoulder: "Which of my orders was wrong? Order the troops, immediately assemble and prepare to go." ”

"Yes!"

。。。。。。。

At the same time, because of the nasty tactics of the Bourbon royal family, the revolutionary party was slow to respond. Coupled with the arrival of Brion at this time, an emergency meeting of the revolutionary party was initiated to discuss the next steps of the revolution.

"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of the Great Revolution which we have carried out? We have given the king a chance to overthrow the unequal system, and our king is always thinking of returning to his position as dictator!

"Our revolution has always been for the prosperity of France, just like the English constitutional monarchy. A supporter of the constitutional monarchist frowned and said, "Commander Lafayette has said that there is no need for us to completely eliminate the royal family that has governed France for hundreds of years. ”

Another balding old politician retorted: "That's a nice point, but what is the Duke of Baden, who entered Paris a few days ago? Who can guarantee that he doesn't have the heart to suppress it?"

"These are the questions that Mr. Blissau in the South can answer to you. Now, Monsieur de Blissau and the Marquis de Condorcet were on their way to Paris. The young man replied unceremoniously: "Moreover, Monsieur Lafayette has also said that for the sake of the French revolution we should cooperate with the Duke of Baden." This is obvious to all. ”

"Hmph, I think that Brion is a royalist. The bald politician sneered, "I'm afraid you can't help but have something to do with King Louis." ”

"It is not permissible to slander colleagues. Lafayette, who was sitting at the top, couldn't stand it anymore, and glared at the politician and shouted: "This is a revolutionary meeting, if you are still arguing in the streets, then you have to go out!"

The old politician had no choice but to shut up when he looked at Lafayette, and inadvertently looked at Robespierre, who was sitting in second place.

Lafayette looked around at everyone: "Well, there is no need to continue arguing in this meeting, for the sake of fairness, we will vote when the members are basically united." Either resolutely pursue a constitutional monarchy. Either obey Robespierre and depose the king. ”

。。。。。。

After more than two hours of travel, Brion had arrived at Fontainebleau with fifty cavalry.

Clearly, Pishglou was not surprised by Brion's arrival. However, as Brion expected, Pishglou was not in a hurry to make a move on Brion. At this time, the two of them looked unusually calm, and it seemed that they were no longer the enemies who were about to compete on the battlefield.

For Brion, Pishglu was the guide of his initial military life, so there was an indescribable sigh to meet him again.

"You were deposed by Louis XVI for the Baden War more than a year ago, and we haven't seen each other. Pishgrew said as he handed Brion a cup of coffee.

Brion nodded: "I just didn't expect that as soon as we met, it would become hostile." I understand all the purpose of your visit. ”

"Then, you dare to come to my camp with only fifty cavalry?"

Brion winked at Pishglu: "You are my legion commander, I know you very well. If you really were going to kill me, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come to you. Are you right?"

Pishglu looked at Brion for a long time, and smiled slightly: "It's really strange, to be honest. Sometimes, I really don't think you're like a great nobleman, but like an experienced monarch and a professional soldier. Are you really Louis XVI's brother?"

Brion just smiled and slowly put down his coffee: "Let's get straight to the point." Your intention in arriving at Fontainebleau with five thousand soldiers this time was nothing more than to help Louis XVI suppress the Paris Revolution. Of course, I also know that two thousand royalist troops from the north have arrived in Malmeson. You do have certain advantages. ”

In this case, the revolutionary party will be defeated. I think you understand, right?" said Pishglu with a nonchalant laugh.

"If I support the Revolution, then if you want to storm the city of Paris, you must first fight against my 3,000 Predator Guards. Brion looked at Pishglu seriously: "Seriously, although your Rhine army is indeed a strong division, but in terms of combat effectiveness, you only have a slight advantage in numbers. ”

To be honest, the strong combat effectiveness of the Predator Guard, Pishglu has long heard of it. During the Baden War, it was this army that dealt with tens of thousands of Ossa coalition troops, and defeated the main Saxon army of more than 20,000 people in one go, and took the entire Kingdom of Saxony.

"The Tao is different, and it seems that we can only meet on the battlefield. ”

Although this sentence sounds non-negotiable, Brion can hear that this sentence is quite unreliable. This already shows that Pishglu's heart is beginning to waver.

Brion looked at Pishglu and smiled: "Peace is precious, what if both sides are profitable?"

"What?"

"What do you want? a million francs, or land, or a higher position? The corners of Brion's mouth raised: "Alliance with me." ”

"This 。。。。。。。 Pishglu smiled, "Sounds good. ”

Often people's hearts are tempted in an instant, and for Pishkru, as a royalist member, he can really keep the king going, and he can avoid the losses caused by the war, and he can get the benefits of both sides.

Brion understands Pisglou's character, and the biggest reason for his loyalty to the royal family is profit. Pisigru's allegiance to Louis XVI this time has already shown that the price of Louis XVI is high enough. However, Pisglou's hesitation already showed that Briand offered enough price to make him give up Louis XVI.
