Seeing that all the personnel had arrived, Li Zhen recounted the news previously reported by Lu Shaochuan. Immediately, Li Zhencai said: "Xi Changzhen is ready to fight, and it's time for us to go to war."
Gobard said with a smile: "Just wait until the president leads the army to go to war."
Russell smiled slightly and continued: "If the president takes action, he will be able to easily deal with Xi Changzhen."
Adams said: "We are all waiting for the president to deal with Xi Yinglong."
The people of the Eight Kingdoms were completely on the sidelines and had no intention of going to war. In fact, a very small number of people even had a joking look in their eyes, as if they were standing aside to watch the show.
There was still a hint of longing for Li Zhen's defeat in his eyes.
If you lose, you Li Zhen won't be able to be arrogant.
Li Zhen saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and did not care. He said: "In this battle, all three thousand troops under my command will definitely participate in the battle. However, the two thousand soldiers who have been regrouped by the armies of various countries during this period will also When we go to the battlefield, only if we cooperate sincerely can we win and completely defeat Xi Yinglong."
At first, Gobad and Rael led the army to escape, and there were less than a thousand soldiers left. But after Li Zhenliang raised his flag, the fleeing soldiers from various countries knew that the army was following Li Zhen, and they all returned to the team one after another.
Today, the number of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces is close to 2,000, and they have a certain combat effectiveness.
Russell raised his eyebrows with an incredulous expression.
They paid 300,000 catties of grain and one million taels of silver. Do they still want to go to war?
Before Russell could speak, Adams couldn't help but said: "President, it's a bit inappropriate for you to let our soldiers go to war. We gave a lot of money and enough food. This time It's your turn to attack Xi Changzhen, why do you still need us to fight? It's unreasonable for you to do this."
Gobard said solemnly with a straight face: "I agree with Adams, the president does not keep his words."
Li Zhen sneered and said, "I would like to ask if I can't keep my words."
Gobard snorted and said slowly: "We have given you enough money and food. This is to let you lead the army to attack Xi Changzhen's army. Now, we have given you money and food, but we still have to We went into battle to kill the enemy ourselves, this is obviously you blackmailing us, how can there be any truth in this."
Li Zhen chuckled, shrugged and said: "Sir Gobard, what you said is wrong. I agreed to go to war. Yes, it is true. I admit it, but I said I would lead the troops alone." Attacking Xi Changzhen? No, right? According to the agreement, the formation of Vietnam was a matter for the nine countries to do together. In this case, the coalition of the nine countries is a whole. How can you have the nerve to let me lead the troops to attack Xi Changzhen alone? Could it be that, Except for China's army, the armies of other countries are all men without balls, they are all a bunch of cowards and they don't dare to go to the battlefield."
"fart."
When Russell heard this, he retorted directly.
Adams reached out and tugged on Russell's clothes, thinking that this was Li Zhen's way of provoking the general.
Gobard's expression kept changing, and he was filled with anger.
However, Gobard had to admit what Li Zhen said, because Li Zhen did not say that he would attack Xi Changzhen alone. Gobard was about to cry, thinking that he had been set up by Li Zhen again.
Li Zhen is too cruel.
Li Zhen changed the topic and no longer bothered with the issue of who would send troops, and said loudly: "Since everyone has no other opinions, I will arrange a battle plan to attack Xi Changzhen this time."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen paused deliberately.
Seeing that no one else interrupted, Li Zhencai continued: "Come here, bring the map."
Soon, the soldiers took out the map and hung it in the camp tent.
Li Zhen pointed to the location of Xiaoshui County on the map and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, Mr. Russell and Mr. Adams led two thousand soldiers southward and went straight to Xiaoshui County, which is located directly north of Qinghua City. Your mission It is to storm Xiaoshui County and attract all the troops stationed by Xi Changzhen in Xiaoshui County, and even attract the troops stationed by Xi Changzhen in Qinghua City. Of course, I hope that your coalition forces can successfully capture Xiaoshui County."
Russell asked: "Where are the President's troops?"
Li Zhen pointed to Xingyang County, which is located northwest of Qingshui City, and said: "My troops will mainly attack Xingyang County. I will also try my best to attack Xingyang County, attract Xi Changzhen's troops, and strive to capture Xingyang County."
Gobard stared at the map and asked after a long time: "President, are we only going to capture these two places? I have also studied the map recently and found that there is another Nanming Pass east of Qinghua, which is also an important pass. If we capture Nanming Pass, we can also go straight to Qinghua City and attack Xi Changzhen."
Li Zhen gave a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Gobard is amazing, he actually saw this place."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Our troops are mainly attacking Xingyang County and Xiaoshui County on the surface. This is to attract the troops under Xi Changzhen's command. Once a large number of soldiers gather towards these two places, I will go out again. Surprise troops, surprise attack on Nanming Pass, unexpected attack, this is my plan to attack the east and attack the west, what do you think?"
"I think it's possible," Russell said.
Deep down in his heart, Rahel secretly muttered and cursed Li Zhen as an old fox. If Gobad had not taken the initiative, Li Zhen would definitely not have mentioned the attack on Nanming Pass.
Adams had no objection and agreed with Li Zhen's approach.
The people from the Eight Kingdoms came and left quickly. After learning about Li Zhen's entire plan, they went to prepare. After all, according to Li Zhensheng's plan to attack the east and west, the Xiaoshui County they attacked was not the main battlefield. A large number of The matter still rests on Li Zhen's shoulders, because the most important battlefield is Nanming Pass.
After the people from the eight countries left, Liu Jintang said: "President, although you have decided on a strategy to attack the east and attack the west, with Xi Changzhen's ability, you will definitely be able to see through this strategy. If you do it this way, the effect may not be very good."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "I also expected that Xi Changzhen could see this plan."
"ah,."
Lu Shaochuan opened his eyes wide and said: "You all know that Xi Changzhen can see through our plan to attack the east and attack the west, but you still do this. Isn't this just hitting the muzzle of Xi Changzhen's gun?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "The plan I made is more than this. This is for foreigners and Xi Changzhen to know. On the basis of this set of plans, I have follow-up plans. Once the plan to attack the East and the West is implemented, I will do this again. ..., I believe Xi Changzhen didn’t expect that I have another plan, what do you think?”
Chen Yucheng said: "I agree with the president's plan, and I will definitely defeat Xi Changzhen."
Li Xiucheng nodded and agreed with Li Zhen's plan.
Li Zhenjian's main generals all agreed, and he immediately made arrangements for the personnel for the next battle. Liu Jintang was in charge of the battle in Xingyang County, and Lu Shaochuan was in charge of the battle in Nanming Pass. Both of them led a thousand soldiers each. The remaining troops were led by Li Zhen, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng.
