After Prawandin asked Singh to draft a reply to Xi Yinglong, he sent a telegram to Xi Yinglong. After receiving the news, the telegraph operator who received the telegram immediately translated the telegram and presented it to Xi Yinglong. After reading it, Xi Yinglong sneered twice and said directly Putting the telegram aside and ignoring Prawangdin's accusations, Prawangdin asked him to take the initiative to attract the Chinese army to the maximum extent, and even made threats. The purpose was to allow Xi Yinglong to maximize his relationship with Li Zhen Shopping.
After Xi Yinglong's army transferred all Chinese troops to Gosiba City, Prawangdin could easily attack Li Zhen. Xi Yinglong even understood that Prawangdin had the idea of weakening his strength. After defeating Li Zhen, the war After the war ended, Xi Yinglong suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Chinese army and his strength declined. It was much easier for Prawangdin to annex Xi Yinglong.
Xi Yinglong had already seen through this plan of killing two birds with one stone.
The reason why Xi Yinglong deliberately agreed to Prawangdin was because Xi Yinglong also designed Prawangdin in return.
Whoever comes out to fool around doesn't have a lot of ideas, it's just to see who is smarter.
Who is in the trap will be known at the end.
After Xi Yinglong thought about it, he looked at the telegraph operator and ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to Xi Changzhen and ask him to strengthen the attack force and engage the Chinese army to the maximum extent."
"clear."
The telegraph operator turned and left.
Xi Yinglong sat in the office, rubbed his temples, and carefully planned this war.
Everything must be well understood and no mistakes can be made.
…
Gosiba County, headquarters.
Xi Changzhen crossed his legs, holding a book in his right hand, and stroking his long beard under his chin with his left hand. A look of joy appeared on his maroon face. He shook his head, and from time to time he would read the sentences in the book. The wind was light and the clouds were light. He looked as if he had never encountered a war at all. Such a situation made it difficult for people to believe that he was a commander directing a war.
"Report."
Outside the camp, the telegraph operator's voice came.
Xi Changzhen couldn't hear what was going on outside the window. He was already immersed in a sea of books and didn't hear the sound outside.
The telegraph operator outside waited for about five minutes and tried to shout again, but saw that there was still no response from inside the camp. He asked the guard and confirmed that Xi Changzhen must be inside the camp. He immediately knew the situation. Most of the time, if it was Xi Changzhen, If there is no response, he must be immersed in a sea of books.
The telegraph operator no longer waited, raised the curtain of the tent and strode in. He stood in front of Xi Changzhen, looked at Xi Changzhen's entranced look, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted loudly: "Sir, there is a telegram."
"Ouch,."
Xi Changzhen let out a low cry and pulled off a beard with his hand.
He glared at the telegraph operator and said, "Bring it here."
The telegraph operator handed over the telegram he had just received. After reading it, Xi Changzhen laughed twice and said: "You son of a bitch Prawandin, your abacus is crackling. You are really shrewd. It's a pity, it's a pity..." After a pause After a pause, he waved his hand to signal the telegraph operator to go down. Immediately, Xi Changzhen called in the guard who was with him and ordered: "Immediately send a message to Zhang Zhidong outside the city and ask him to do some tricks, strengthen the attack, and increase the firepower. It’s okay to waste more shells, Li Zhen has plenty of money anyway.”
"clear."
The guard nodded and left, and Xi Changzhen continued to pick up the book.
Outside Gosiba City, Chinese military camp.
Zhang Zhidong received the news sent by Xi Changzhen and couldn't help cursing. Damn it, his shells were already firing desperately. He didn't expect that he would have to increase the firepower. Such an attack would be like a real gun. Damn it. After Zhang Zhidong finished scolding him, he could only smile bitterly. This strategy of luring the snake out of its hole is really not that easy. It is not easy for Prawangdin to be fooled.
Zhang Zhidong issued an order for the soldiers of the army to attack with full firepower.
The cannonballs are real, but the guns are empty guns.
The army led by Zhang Zhidong was the main attack. The two sides used Gosiba City as the battle site and launched a fierce battle. On the battlefield, the sound of artillery rumbled, almost drowning the entire Gosiba city wall. The gunshots continued, echoing on the battlefield. The soldiers under Zhang Zhidong rushed forward several times, but were finally beaten down. The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the news came quickly.
The battle continued intermittently. Xi Changzhen was unwilling to be left alone. He led his troops out of the city to attack several times in an attempt to switch from defense to offense. However, without exception, he was beaten back and there was no winner.
The two sides fought in Gosba, forming a stalemate.
Under such circumstances, Li Zhen in Agartala began to mobilize troops, and Gosba gradually increased his strength and strengthened Zhang Zhidong's attack power. This news could not be concealed and spread quickly. Xi Yinglong got the news, Without delay, he immediately sent a telegram to Prawangdin, asking Prawangdin to send troops immediately to relieve the pressure on Xi Changzhen.
…
Calcutta, royal palace.
In the study, Prawandin looked at Singh and asked in a deep voice: "My dear, Xi Yinglong sent a telegram, asking us to immediately send troops to attack Agartala to reduce the pressure on Xi Changzhen on the front line. Send you out to find out the information. What is the news reported by the people, whether Li Zhen has sent more troops to Gosiba City, and whether the battle between the two sides is really stalemate."
Singh replied: "The battle in Gosiba City is indeed stalemate. The fighting between Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong was very fierce. Moreover, Li Zhen learned the news about the stalemate in Gosiba City in Agartala. Later, the three major states indeed began to deploy more strength. From this, we can infer that the strength around Li Zhen has been weakened, and it should be the time when the strength is at its lowest."
"Now that Aiqing is confirmed, we can go to war."
Prawandin rubbed his hands, quite excited.
Gulzhari, an old fox, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time Li Zhen arrived in Agartala in person to supervise the battle. He is the ruler of China, and you are the ruler of India. Just imagine, if you personally What an exciting scene it would be to capture China's President Li Zhen. The old minister suggested that His Majesty personally go on an expedition to capture Li Zhen and show off our Indian glory."
"No,."
Singer immediately objected: "Your Majesty has a distinguished status and cannot lead a military expedition in person."
Prawandin's eyes flashed with excitement, and he waved his hand. Regardless of Singer's persuasion, he praised: "My dear Gulzhari, what you said makes sense. It is the most impressive thing to be able to see Li Zhen being arrested in person." It’s exciting, I’m sure, I will personally lead the army to fight.”
Singh glared at Gulzhari and cursed the old fox secretly.
This old fox always comes up with random ideas just to please His Majesty.
Prawandin smiled slightly and said: "This time I am leading the army into battle. As Minister of Military Affairs, Singh will go with me, while Gulzhari, as Minister of State, will stay in Calcutta to take care of the rear."
"Old minister, I obey."
A smile flashed across Gulzari's lips and he bowed in response.
Singer sighed in his heart and nodded in agreement.
In fact, Singh was glad that Prawandin took him with him instead of Gulzari. If he had brought Gulzari, an old fox, God knows what the old fox would have done to His Majesty when he went to the battlefield.
Without troublemakers, the situation would be much better.
