Xi Yinglong, Xi Changzhen and La Er all gathered in the hall. The three giants gathered together, all with solemn expressions. At this time, the news of the fall of Xunzhou Prefecture had come, and Nanning Prefecture, Yulin Prefecture, Liuzhou Prefecture and other prefectures The government has also fallen, and a series of failures have made the people of Guangxi controlled by Xi Yinglong unstable, and the situation has begun to become turbulent.
If this continues, Guangxi will definitely change its owner soon.
At this moment, the atmosphere is tense.
None of the three people spoke.
After a long time, Russell coughed twice, and each of them looked at Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, the governor of Guangxi, the state capitals of Guangxi are falling one after another. If you don't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid Li Zhen will have to harvest your power. The head is dead, and there are still Si'en Prefecture, Sicheng Prefecture, Qingyuan Prefecture and other places, so it's not too late to send troops to rescue."
Xi Changzhen immediately said: "Your Excellency Rael represents the French army. Why don't we dispatch French soldiers to attack Li Zhen's army in batches? What do you think?"
He smiled and looked expectant.
Russell frowned and said loudly: "I'm here to assist you and help you resist Li Zhen. Now, Li Zhen's army is raging and wreaking havoc, and you are not sad about your own affairs. What's the point of my active participation? , it really echoes an old Chinese saying, mud can’t hold up a wall, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, I just leave.”
He stood up, paused slightly before turning and leaving.
Xi Changzhen looked at Xi Yinglong and blinked.
Xi Yinglong's expression remained unchanged, he said nothing and allowed Rachel to leave.
The two of them didn't speak, but Rachel suddenly felt uncomfortable.
What he said was to stimulate Xi Yinglong, and when he got up, he just wanted Xi Yinglong to say something to persuade him to stay. The most embarrassing thing now is that he was ready to leave, but Xi Yinglong didn't say anything. Russell took a few steps forward, and there was still someone behind him. No sound came from him, so he paused, looking embarrassed, and waited silently in his heart.
For about five seconds, there was still no lingering sound from behind.
Seeing this, Rachel walked out of the Governor's Mansion resolutely, but he still couldn't figure it out, and he still couldn't figure out why Xi Yinglong was not in a hurry.
Xi Changzhen saw Rachel's back disappearing and said, "Rael is gone, why don't you give me some advice?"
Xi Yinglong said: "Is persuasion useful?"
Xi Changzhen said: "It still has its uses. For example, we don't have enough troops now, and Li Zhen is looking at him with his army. Once we divide our troops to resist, Guilin Prefecture is likely to be attacked by Li Zhen. Once Rael's attack Participate and let the foreigners under his command separately resist the other two armies under Li Zhen, which can still play a role in driving away tigers and devouring wolves."
In fact, Guangxi's army does face difficulties.
Li Zhentun defeated Yuefu, and the further advance was within the scope of Guilin Prefecture. Once Xi Yinglong dispatched his soldiers to leave, the situation mentioned by Xi Changzhen would occur, which would allow Li Zhen to take advantage of the situation. However, Xi Yinglong could only watch helplessly without sending troops. The western and southern parts of Guangxi Province have collapsed, so the situation is extremely serious.
Xi Yinglong rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't say anything when the person was here. You only say it now that the person is gone."
"I think you know." Xi Changzhen said.
Xi Yinglong said: "You know what a fool, brother, you are so unreliable, I have ruined all my family fortune."
Xi Changzhen countered: "Do you care about the Xi family's family fortune?"
Xi Yinglong said angrily: "Nonsense, how can I not care about the Xi family's family fortune? I think the thing I don't care about the most is you, brother. You openly slaughtered foreigners on the battlefield. Isn't this a good thing? Don't you think it's glorious?"
Xi Changzhen said: "Yes, you care, I don't care, let's talk about business, talk about business." After a pause, Xi Changzhen said: "The posture Li Zhen put out makes it clear that he is preparing to encircle Guilin Mansion. Now you don't plan to send troops to rescue, what do you think? ."
Xi Yinglong raised his head and said loudly: "One word, fight."
Xi Changzhen was speechless and choked on Xi Yinglong's words.
Xi Yinglong chuckled, with a smile on his rough and angular face, and said: "Brother, don't worry, I have made arrangements. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even rabbits have to leave several nests for themselves to avoid unexpected problems. , let alone our Xi family, don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements.”
Xi Changzhen's forehead is full of black lines. It's terrible to be uneducated.
The people of the Xi family are nothing compared to rabbits. The only thing that makes Xi Changzhen more gratified is that this guy has arranged a way out, which can be regarded as a little bit relieved.
…
On June 18, Yang Banhou led his army into Zhen'an Mansion.
On that day, the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender, accepting Yang Banhou's arrangement. By this time, Yang Banhou had already captured Zhen'an Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture, and the areas in the south of Guangxi had been pacified. Ban Hou arranged the prefect of Zhen'an Prefecture, deployed the troops of Zhen'an Prefecture, and led his army northward, preparing to join the army under Smith's command.
…
On June 22, Smith successfully captured Qingyuan Prefecture and achieved a great victory. In addition to the Sicheng Prefecture and Sien Prefecture that Smith had led his army to capture previously, Smith also raided three prefectures in the northwest of Guangxi.
After Smith dealt with the problem of Qingyuan Prefecture, he also sent his army northward towards Guilin Prefecture in the north.
Both armies headed straight for Guilin.
…
Pinglefu, Fuyazhong.
Li Zhen got the news of Yang Banhou and Smith's victory, mobilized the army and approached Guilin Mansion. The army entered Guilin Mansion, but did not encounter a strong counterattack by Xi Yinglong. Li Zhen guessed that the opponent had reduced its troops, so he continued to advance and waited for the victory. After occupying Yangshuo County, which was the closest to Pingle County, Li Zhen led his army to approach Yongfu County and quickly captured Yongfu County.
At this time, the armies of Yang Banhou and Smith had met in Liuzhou and headed north to Guilin together.
The two led soldiers into Guilin Mansion and quickly captured Yong'an Prefecture.
On July 26, the armies of Yang Banhou and Smith arrived in Yongfu County.
After a few months, the three armies reunited again.
In the county government, Li Zhen was the Marquis of Yang Ban, and Smith took over the job. Because the war was about to begin, they only drank alcohol briefly. After all, this was in the territory of Guilin Prefecture, and the situation of the battle had to be considered.
…
Lingui County, Governor's Mansion.
Because of Russell's departure, only the army under Xi Yinglong's command was left in Guilin Mansion, and the French army was never seen again. In the past few days, the look on Xi Yinglong's face was obviously more haggard, with only his shining eyes and the expression in his eyes. The flashing fighting spirit also showed Xi Yinglong's spirit.
Xi Changzhen said: "My lord, Li Zhen's army has arrived in Yongfu County, and it is imminent. Success or failure, if we defeat Li Zhen in one fell swoop, all the losses can be restored; if we are defeated by Li Zhen, we will definitely lose." ."
"Someone, bring me the map."
Xi Changzhen shouted, and soldiers immediately brought the map.
"Brother, let's discuss this."
Both of them stood next to the map, talking to the map and determining the next battle plan.
ps: Second update, call it a day; the Expo will end in one day, and I’m finally over it, cheers, cheers.
