When Gobard heard Li Zhen's last words, he was immediately moved.
If the nine countries unite to reorganize Vietnam, it will undoubtedly be a huge sweetener for the eight countries, because the eight countries are one, and China represented by Li Zhen is isolated and helpless. Once Vietnam is established, according to the principle of the majority suppressing the minority, after Vietnam is formed The operation must be implemented according to the ideas of the envoys from the eight countries.
For a moment, Gobard's breathing became rapid, and he was attracted by the picture Li Zhen drew.
The rest of the people were also quite moved after hearing this.
As the saying goes, one beauty can cover up all evils. Once the nine countries form a Vietnamese government, this news will undoubtedly be a good thing for the nine countries, and it will be a big event for the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The news spread back to various countries, enough to overshadow the impact of previous failures.
Gobard quickly calmed down again. He looked at Li Zhen and said in a slightly suspicious tone: "President, although I said so, after killing Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong, if you disobey Yu Jiu What about the agreement between the two countries to jointly form Vietnam?"
Li Zhen said coldly: "Sir Gobard, am I a person who does not respect credibility?"
Gobard said with a smile: "The president is a person who does not play by the rules. I must ask him clearly."
Ma Hui said: "I think it is best to sign an agreement."
Li Zhen laughed, with disdain in his eyes, and nodded and said: "Okay, according to Mr. Ma Hui's proposal, we will sign another agreement. The agreement clearly states that after Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong are defeated, our people from the Nine Kingdoms will Let’s sit down and discuss the Vietnam issue together. What do you think?”
"Okay, that's how it should be."
A smile appeared on Gobard's face and he nodded.
Russell, Adams and others looked at Li Zhen's face and always felt a little weird in their hearts.
With Li Zhen's methods, how could he spit out the meat in his mouth?
This is not in line with Li Zhen's style of doing things.
However, the two of them couldn't figure out the weirdness in it.
Li Zhen had someone draft an agreement, confirming the terms after defeating Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong. Then both parties signed and sealed it. After Gobard got the agreement, he left with the agreement and went back to prepare the money and food Li Zhen needed.
Lu Shaochuan looked at the leaving figures of the foreigners and smiled coldly, with a look of disdain on his face. He turned to Li Zhen and said seriously: "President, in exchange for one million taels of silver and thirty With ten thousand catties of grain, we handed over the right to form Vietnam. This is definitely a loss. We would rather not have money and food, but we should control Vietnam ourselves and not let foreigners interfere."
Liu Jintang echoed: "I agree with Mr. Lu, we should not cooperate with foreigners."
Chen Yucheng then said loudly: "Together with the foreigners to form Vietnam is to cooperate with the wolf. When the time comes, the envoys from the eight countries will definitely join forces to squeeze us out. President, you have not accepted the food and money sent by the foreigners yet. It is still too late to regret it."
Li Xiucheng also spoke out and disagreed with Li Zhen's approach.
Lu Shaochuan, Chen Yucheng and others opposed Li Zhen's formation of Vietnam with foreigners.
Li Zhen was not angry, and said calmly: "If I don't want the money and food provided by the foreigners, and I don't cooperate with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, I will just charge our own soldiers into the battle. After taking Vietnam, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces will just watch and not interfere." What?"
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned.
Yes, will foreigners watch Li Zhen dominate Vietnam?
Li Zhen continued: "Based on the habits of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, no matter whether it is good or bad, they are like a stick stirring up trouble, no matter good or bad, they have to intervene. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the foreigners intervene in an open and honest manner, and we can make some money by the way. Money and food can be regarded as compensation for the soldiers' long journey. As for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces who wanted to intervene after pacifying Vietnam, hey, I have my own plan to ensure that they will get nothing from the bamboo basket. They have spent money and food. No benefit."
Lu Shaochuan gave a thumbs up and said: "It turns out you have a countermeasure, it's awesome."
After hearing this, Chen Yucheng and others also praised him repeatedly.
…
In the camp where Ruan Lele lived, Ye Chengzhong stepped in.
He walked to sit down next to Ruan Lele and said softly: "Lele, with the help of the president, I will definitely help you get revenge. Whether it is Xi Changzhen or Xi Yinglong, they will solve it. You have to take care of yourself to avoid your My father and brother in heaven are also worried about you."
Ruan Lele hummed and said, "Brother Ye, you have taken care of me all the way. Thank you."
Ye Chengzhong held Ruan Lele's hand and said with a smile: "Do you still need to be so polite between you and me?"
Ruan Lele struggled for a while and then stopped using any force.
The two of them were chatting in the tent. From the awkwardness at the beginning, laughter gradually filled the tent. At this time, the trace of worry on Ye Chengzhong's face disappeared and he finally felt relieved.
…
Vietnam, the capital.
In the palace hall, Xi Yinglong summoned the civil servants and generals to celebrate Xi Changzhen's triumphant return.
Xi Yinglong was wearing a dragon robe and uniform, sitting high on the dragon chair. With a smile on his face, he held a wine bottle and saluted Xi Changzhen from a distance, and said with great interest: "Brother led the army and implemented a small plan, and defeated nearly ten thousand foreign dogs. , fled in embarrassment, he can be called the number one military god of our dynasty. Come, I will not return until I get drunk today, to celebrate my brother’s triumphant return.”
Xi Yinglong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, with a bright smile on his face.
Xi Changzhen looked serious after drinking.
He put down his wine glass, walked to the center of the hall, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
"Oh, brother, what's the matter?" Xi Yinglong asked.
Xi Changzhen's eyes were calm and he said loudly: "I led the troops to defeat nearly ten thousand foreign dogs, which is really not worth mentioning. Now, the foreign dogs have joined Li Zhen's army. Li Zhen is your majesty's biggest enemy. What we just won is just a trivial victory." What happened next is the real war. I believe that now is not the time to celebrate. We should step up training of soldiers, actively prepare for war, and prepare to face Li Zhen. Only when we defeat Li Zhen is it the time to celebrate."
Xi Yinglong said: "Brother's words awakened the dreamer. My biggest enemy is Li Zhen."
Xi Changzhen said: "I ask for a battle and would like to lead troops to resist Li Zhen."
Xi Yinglong flicked his sleeves and said: "Okay, my brother will lead the army to resist."
"I obey." Xi Changzhen nodded in agreement, then turned and left the hall. When he walked out of the hall, he was extremely excited. His mind was spinning rapidly to prepare for the next battle with Li Zhen. The last time After being defeated by Li Zhen, he and Xi Yinglong escaped from Guangxi and settled in Vietnam. Now Li Zhen is chasing him with an army. He can only fight and defeat Li Zhen in order to relieve the crisis facing Vietnam.
Xi Yinglong looked at Xi Changzhen's leaving figure and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Can this battle be won?
Although Xi Yinglong is not afraid of fighting Li Zhen, he is not very sure whether he can win in the end.
