After Butinin found out that Li Xiao and Dmitri's target was actually Igorevich, he immediately started to worry about it.
He and Igorevich had an old feud. He wanted to deal with that guy before, but he couldn't do it openly. After all, we were all rebels in name. If we took the lead in attacking "friendly forces", it might lead to public outrage.
What's more, although Igorevich only has 10,000 men, his subordinates are all ruthless bandits. Even if he rashly turns against him, even if he can be killed, the loss will be great, and he will become a target of public siege.
Bute would rather not act out of emotion, so he naturally buried his hatred deep in his heart, and just secretly watched Igorevich jumping around.
But things are different now. Igorevich was targeted by the Russian army and could only run away in a hurry. How could it be better not to beat the drowned dog now?
Besides, Butinin thought this was a good opportunity to contact the Russian army. He cooperated with the Russian army to eliminate Igorevich and regain Nizhin. No matter how you look at it, this is a credit, right?
When the time comes, talk to the leaders of the Russian army and discuss the conditions. Maybe you can transform yourself into a public servant like Sergey the Long-Legged?
Butnin felt that his conditions were much better than Sergey the Long Legs. He not only owned two cities, but also had 40,000 to 50,000 troops. With this strength, as long as he surrendered, it would be impossible for his status to be lower than that of Sergey the Long Legs.
Bar?
Having made up his mind, he just did it, and Igorevich got a big headache. Before running away, he was indeed wary of Butinin, but he felt that the other party would only harass him, and would not really do anything.
Get serious with him.
But he soon discovered that he was completely wrong. Butening brought 20,000 people to block his way, and after a fierce battle, he was beaten all over his head.
To be honest, Igorevich was furious in his heart. He didn't understand what Butin was doing. What was the benefit of messing with him so recklessly? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by friendly forces?
Do you see it? This is the gap in vision. Butinin knew that rebellion would be a dead end, so he was always looking for a way out, so he immediately realized the importance of long-legged Sergei's surrender.
Igorevich, on the other hand, has a dull head. He is obviously closer to Li Xiao and Dmitri, and the information he receives is more specific, but he does not think at all except he despises and despises the long-legged Sergei.
I didn't even think about whether I could imitate him, so I ended up tragically becoming Butin's surrender sign and being sacrificed.
Of course, he is not dead yet, but he is surrounded in the wild and unable to move.
To the east is Butin's army, to the west is the long-legged Sergei surrender army, to the south is the river, and on the other side of the river is Butin's army. As for the north, Mena's Russian army has already crossed
The Desna River is coming at full speed.
It can be said that there is no way to heaven and no way to earth!
Compared with Igorevich, the long-legged Sergei, who had just led his troops to catch up with him, was a little confused because his subordinates brought a strange news: Butin sent someone to contact him and asked for an interview.
The long-legged Sergey had no friendship with Butin, but he had heard of Butin's name. After all, there were very few policemen who openly rebelled, and Butin was a strange figure among the rebels.
"Butnin sent you here?" Long-legged Sergey asked in an angry voice.
Butinin's envoy was his brother-in-law Atraf, who was actually quite confused when he saw the long-legged Sergei.
Because the task given to him by Butinin was to contact the Russian generals, but after walking into the "Russian Army" camp, he found that the atmosphere here was strange. This "Russian Army" was very different from what he imagined. On the contrary, it was very different.
Revolting mud-legs like them.
Especially after meeting the leader, the lieutenant colonel. Although this man was wearing a brand-new uniform of a Russian infantry lieutenant colonel, his speech, behavior and demeanor were like a rustic, and he always felt a bit like a macaque.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I am here to negotiate on behalf of Mr. Butning. I hope to have an interview with your superior!"
But even though he was full of doubts, Atraf still performed his duties conscientiously. After all, whether his brother-in-law and his family could make a living depended on this.
The long-legged Sergey clicked his tongue. The first time he saw Atraf, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He always felt that he was very familiar.
"Do you want to meet Count Dmitry Milyutin?"
Atlaf nodded heavily and said: "Yes, I have important matters to interview with the count!"
The long-legged Sergey clicked his tongue again. This familiar smell became more and more obvious. Why is it so familiar?
He looked up at Atrav and suddenly realized, isn't this the same person he was before he learned that Dmitri came to attack Chernihiv?
At that time, I was also anxious to strike up a conversation with Dmitri and see if there was any chance of surrendering and finding a way to survive. At that time, I almost died of panic!
After thinking about this, long-legged Sergey smiled. It seemed that there were other gains from this trip!
He smiled slightly and said: "Can you tell me why you want to meet the count? You must know that the count does not meet everyone, especially the rebels!"
Atrav was not in a hurry. His mentality was somewhat different from that of Long-Legged Sergey. At that time, Long-Legged Sergey had no foundation at all and was just trying his luck.
After his successful experience, Atraf and Butnin felt that they still had great hope of surrendering and clearing their name.
He replied loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel, Mr. Butning is fighting for peace with great sincerity..."
He said a lot, but in the eyes of long-legged Sergey, it was just a way to get too high a net worth. At the beginning, he was not in this tone.
However, he did not intend to cause harm, not because he was in the same boat but because he knew how much Dmitry and Li Xiao valued the surrender to the rebels. The boss valued him so much and how dare an employee like him do something famous?
Besides, he has already got what he should get. Butining has no conflict of interest with him, or in other words, the conflict of interest is not big, so naturally there is no need to take risks to become famous!
"Okay, you stay here first and I will inform the count. I don't know whether the count sees you or not!"
Long-legged Sergei waved his hand to dismiss Atrav, and then ordered his men to notify Dmitri while intensifying the siege of Igorevich.
Atrav's arrival still gave him a sense of urgency. If he wanted to have a good future after the war, he would have to put in more effort. Since Dmitri valued Igorevich, he could use this guy's head to get a new one.
The broad road is here!
Dmitry soon received the news. He was a little surprised by Atrav's arrival. Li Xiao had told him before about the benefits of "buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold". At that time, he didn't quite believe it. Now it seems that he is being treated preferentially.
