To the north of the main city, it is not a flat place, with mountains and rivers, and a manor with mountains and water on its back. This manor covers a very large area, including hills, mountains and forests, and a courtyard in the backyard of the manor. There are guards with guns on their backs around the yard, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The security is very tight.
The person living in this courtyard is apparently the head of the Abdul family, Old Abdul.
He is sixty years old this year. In India, this is already a long life. At this age, many people are already skinny and lose their vitality. But Abdul takes good care of himself. He looked only about fifty years old, and he was energetic. However, he was not tall and had a slim build, which gave him the impression of being short and strong. This is the portrayal of old Abdul.
He was lying on a recliner, rocking gently.
There was no one else in the yard.
The surroundings were quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds. It was quiet and elegant, and no one disturbed him. Abdul was old and didn't like the excitement, so there was no one to wait on him in the yard.
A burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the yard.
Immediately, the footsteps stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a small whisper came from outside the yard. Old Abdul woke up, opened his eyes and looked up, and saw a guard walking in and said respectfully: "Sir, Kalam has something to report. "
Kalam is the butler of Abdul's family and the confidant of old Abdul.
Abdul nodded, and the guards retreated.
Kalam strode in. He was about fifty years old. He was a man who followed Abdul in his early years. After seeing Abdul, he bowed respectfully and said loudly: "Dear sir, I just got the news. Zhang Zhidong and Guo Songtao, who came from China, took about a battalion of soldiers lightly armed and quickly left the military camp and were running towards the outside of the city."
"what reason."
Abdul narrowed his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Kalam replied: "According to the information detected, another Chinese army has arrived at the border between Nagaland and China. This Chinese army has about 10,000 people, a division of strength."
After a pause, Larkham said worriedly: "China is indeed one of the most powerful countries. It just lost a division, and now it has sent another division. It is really powerful. This influx of power may cause have an impact on us."
"Nothing to worry about."
Abdul laughed and said in a deep voice: "When Zhang Zhidong came, didn't he also bring 10,000 people with him? He went to the heart of India to kill fiercely. What was the result? In the end, he escaped like a bereaved dog. If not Xi Changzhen and the others were not pursued, they were already dead, and even if we risk our lives, we can completely capture Zhang Zhidong, and with 10,000 more people, it is not a big worry."
Kalam was still very worried and said seriously: "But we just rejected Zhang Zhidong. This time Zhang Zhidong has a new force, and he will probably deal with us immediately. What should we do then?"
Abdul shook his head and said: "No, no, he will not deal with us."
"Why." Kalam asked.
Abdul held his head high and said confidently: "Even if Zhang Zhidong adds another 10,000 troops and his strength is greatly enhanced, we don't have to worry. Is the family made of mud? Our Abdul family has been around for hundreds of years." Is the precipitation all made of paper? Huh, if Zhang Zhidong comes, we will have to fight to the death even if we fight to the death."
"When the time comes, Zhang Zhidong's strength will be weakened again."
"For Zhang Zhidong, this is not a good thing."
"Zhang Zhidong is a leader of troops, but he is also a politician. In comparison, Zhang Zhidong is more like a politician. Do you know a politician? Such a person will consider many issues when doing something. Weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Zhidong, considering our strong strength, will definitely focus on wooing us, and will woo us again. At that time, the only thing we can do to help him again is wait for him to lead his troops to attack, and we can just watch the show, everything It’s all just like what happened before.”
Kalam thought to himself, if such a method was used once, could it be used a second time?
Abdul smiled and said: "No need to doubt it, I have my own way."
Kalam nodded and said respectfully: "My lord has already made a plan, so I won't say much. There are still many things to deal with at home, so I will deal with them."
Abdul nodded and closed his eyes to rest again.
…
Ten miles outside the city of Kohima.
On the wide official road, there was a battalion of soldiers waiting in full formation. These people were led by Zhang Zhidong and Guo Songtao. The two stood at the front, looking into the distance, eagerly waiting for Li Zhen to arrive. They waited for about fifteen minutes. On the winding road, a dark figure appeared, densely packed and very dense.
Zhang Zhidong became excited when he saw this scene. The team led by Li Zhen had already come into view.
Time passed, and not long after, Li Zhen arrived with his army.
Zhang Zhidong and Guo Songtao stepped forward one after another and saluted Li Zhen respectfully. Zhang Zhidong looked ashamed and said, "President, Zhang Zhidong has disappointed you."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "The situation in India is complicated. It's not your fault."
Hearing Zhang Zhidong's comforting words, he felt even more ashamed, blaming him for being too careless.
Li Zhen said with emotion: "This area of Nagaland is really difficult to travel. There are high mountains and mountains everywhere, and there are many mountain roads, which is not conducive to marching. I set out from Chengdu in mid-to-late July and led the soldiers to advance at full speed. Even so, it is already September when the autumn breeze is cool, and it has taken more than a month to walk this way, which is not easy."
Guo Songtao nodded and said loudly: "The terrain here is indeed quite complex, and it also has a great impact on marching and fighting. For example, large tanks cannot drive on rugged and curved roads, and it is difficult to adapt."
Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Let's go back to the station first."
Zhang Zhidong asked the soldiers to lead the way, and the group hurried back quickly.
Returning to Coxima City, the army settled down.
Li Zhen did not rest, but came to the Chinese army's tent. Li Zhen sat on the main seat, looked at Zhang Zhidong, and said straight to the point: "What is the current situation? Let me introduce it in detail."
Zhang Zhidong did not dare to hide anything and carefully told the situation he was encountering.
Finally, Zhang Zhidong concluded: "The main reason for this failure was my carelessness. I failed to grasp my mentality. If I could fight steadily, the situation would not be chaotic."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "The situation is complicated and difficult. I don't blame you."
He paused for a moment and then said: "What happened to the Abdul family you just mentioned."
Guo Songtao looked angry and said unjustly: "Abdul is very naughty. When we just arrived in Nagaland, Abdul was the first to express his surrender. After we failed, we tried to get Abdul to The family did something, but unfortunately, this family raised its tail and said that it would keep the well water from the river water with us, otherwise it would rather die than destroy the net, and give us heavy losses. Abdul was convinced that we did not dare to take the remaining bit. Only when there is a military confrontation can we dare to say harsh words."
Li Zhen blinked and asked, "After listening to what they said, are you really scared?"
Zhang Zhidong smiled and expressed his acquiescence.
"idiot,."
Li Zhen suddenly changed his face and started to curse. This sudden change made Zhang Zhidong and Guo Songtao stunned for a while. They both considered the overall situation and thought they were right. Why was Li Zhen so angry?
The two looked at each other, confused and confused about Li Zhen's intentions.
