Zhang Zhidong walked out of the tent and saw a graceful woman standing face to face.
This woman is tall and plump, with red eyes and a sad expression.
Zhang Zhidong's heart moved, and he knew that this woman was probably Shanapova. He bowed slightly and saluted, then turned and left. Shanapova took a deep breath, and then stepped into the tent. There were tears in her eyes, and she didn't understand. He asked: "Father, why do you want Li Zhen to cede such a large area? You clearly know that this is impossible."
At this moment, Shanapova felt very uncomfortable.
Alexander II walked to Shanapova, took Shanapova's hand, and said softly: "Shanapova, my father does not want to take back the territory, he just takes this opportunity to test Li Zhen, my father I know what's appropriate and won't delay your happiness, so I just want to test how much Li Zhen cares about you, and want to see his reaction and whether he will come in person."
"real."
Shanapova asked.
Alexander II frowned, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Don't you believe in my father?"
Shanapova was simple-minded, and after hearing Alexander II's explanation, she burst into laughter.
She shook Alexander II's arm and said coquettishly: "Father, you are so bad. You didn't even tell your daughter, which made her worry in vain. Hum, I will ignore you."
Alexander II laughed, gently scratched Shanapova's nose, and said softly: "You are hopeless. Don't worry, my father will take care of it for you."
Shanapova became happy and then left the camp.
Alexander II sat alone in the big tent, frowning.
He kept asking himself whether he really wanted to use the territory to test Li Zhen. However, under constant questioning, Alexander II couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted to get the land back. If you have more thoughts, you still want to test Li Zhen's thoughts more.
Alexander II himself didn't even think clearly about this matter.
…
Military camp, conference room.
After Zhang Zhidong returned to the military camp, he immediately met with Li Zhen. After sitting down, he said: "Your Majesty, Alexander II said that if you want to marry Princess Shanapova, you must cede the area north of Khabarovsk as a bride price. Territory-related matters The question is, I directly rejected Alexander II’s conditions, and the two parties broke up on bad terms. The failure of this proposal was due to my impulsiveness, please punish me.”
As he spoke, he stood up and waited for Li Zhen to convict him.
What a happy event, he ruined it.
Li Zhen shook his head gently, waved his hand and said: "Sit down, sit down, this matter has nothing to do with you. It was the old guy Alexander II who sincerely made things difficult. If it was me who went there, I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing. Alexander II thought It’s so wonderful that we actually want to cede the area north of Khabarovsk. This matter was not discussed and it was impossible.”
Zhang Zhidong asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Lu Shaochuan shouted: "Let's grab Shanapova. Hehe, although the Russian army has tens of thousands of old men, they don't have enough weapons. Once our army attacks and surrounds them, these The Russian soldiers will definitely not dare to move, so this is our chance to get Shanapova back."
Yang Luchan said: "Lu Shaochuan, when will you change your habit of hitting and killing?"
Lu Shaochuan said proudly: "My temper is like this and I can't change it."
Li Zhen thought about it carefully and said: "Actually, I agree with Lu Shaochuan's suggestion. This time, we can dispatch a large army to surround the Russian army. We can scare the opponent and marry Princess Shanapova. "
Lu Shaochuan was gearing up and preparing to mobilize the army.
Zhang Zhidong asked: "What detailed thoughts does the prince have?"
Li Zhen analyzed: "If you think about it carefully, the Russian army is still outside Vladivostok. They do not have enough weapons and strength. Once we surround the Russian army camp, Alexander II will not dare to move, and, I also believe that Alexander II will not go to war. If we pull out the army and use a little intimidation, Alexander II will definitely retreat."
After a pause, Li Zhenyou continued: "The most important thing is that we have another reason, that is, Alexander II is so open-minded and unreasonable. This is our first step to occupy a moral place. We can give Alexander II first." It would be much more convenient to label him as unreasonable and shift the responsibility to him."
Peng Yulin agreed: "You can try it."
Zhang Zhidong said: "I agree with the prince's approach. In this way, we can better demonstrate our military power, and also let the people in Vladivostok and even the area north of Heilongjiang know the strength of the army under the prince's command, which is good for our publicity. of."
Lu Shaochuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be a pioneer."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Lu Shaochuan will be the vanguard, and Long Ao will lead the army later. We will treat this dispatch as a drill. We should practice well and let the people see the majesty of our army."
Lu Shaochuan left first and immediately went to mobilize the troops.
When Lu Shaochuan went to the city to mobilize soldiers, Alexander II in the Russian military camp was waiting for news.
Alexander II didn't know which thought was more important in his heart, but he definitely wanted to test Li Zhen. Muravyov came to Alexander II's camp and reported: "Your Majesty, you want Li Zhen to be tested." It is quite difficult to cede the area north of Khabarovsk, and it is also difficult to implement it. I think it can be slightly modified and it is enough for Li Zhen to carve out a small area."
Alexander II said: "What if this thing comes to pass?"
Muravyov thought that if it happened, the sun would go to the west and come out. However, Muravyov would not express his thoughts and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is that Li Zhen will Territory is very important, so you, the lion, are very open-minded. If Li Zhen rebounds strongly, the result will be difficult to deal with."
Alexander II said confidently: "Don't worry about my work."
"Report,."
A soldier ran in quickly, with a panicked expression on his face, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, it's bad, something serious has happened. The army under Li Zhen is running towards us with murderous intent."
"brush,."
Alexander II's expression immediately changed color, and his eyelids twitched. He glared at Muravyov and said angrily: "You are really right, crow's mouth."
Muravyov smiled bitterly, "You did it yourself."
Alexander II immediately left the camp. He immediately put his soldiers on alert and prepared for a counterattack. Even if his soldiers could not win, they had to be ready to fight. Then, Alexander II took Muravio with him. My husband and his generals came to the gate of the camp and looked into the distance, waiting for Li Zhen's army to arrive.
"Rumble,,."
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and the ground could already be felt shaking.
Alexander II's expression changed slightly, thinking that this time the trouble was really big, and Li Zhen actually sent out a large army.
