Qi Zhenhai said with a smile: "Rao is Li Xiucheng's old plan, and he was also informed of the conspiracy by adults and gentlemen. This time, Li Xiucheng will definitely not be able to reap the benefits. ”

Zhu Wu said: "Dashuai, since I have understood what Li Xiucheng is paying attention to, I will immediately go out of the city and inform Deputy Head Yang to reject Li Xiucheng's proposal and not go to Sanlihuai with Li Xiucheng." ”

"No way!"

Li Zhen and Liu Taiping stretched out their hands to stop Zhu Wu and spoke out at the same time.

Li Zhen said again: "What do you think, sir, let's talk first." ”

Liu Taiping said directly: "Li Xiucheng stepped on two boats, the purpose was to destroy us in one fell swoop, and it was indeed a bold and powerful means. Li Xiucheng spent countless efforts to complete this plan. If we dismantle the stage, Li Xiucheng's plan will not work, and he will definitely consider other conspiracies. ”

As the saying goes, if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, Li Xiucheng will always think of another way to set up an ambush. When people are strong and poor, there will always be a time when we will be passive. ”

"Instead of being passive, it's better to be proactive."

"Li Xiucheng laid out a big plan, we will plan it, and in turn take down Li Xiucheng and the foreigners." Liu Taiping said with a slightly excited expression: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you can't miss it." ”

Huang Shihai's thick eyebrows were upside down, his brows furrowed, and he stared at the map carefully. After looking at it for a while, he didn't come up with a plan, so he asked, "Sir, since you want to plan it, how do you plan to do it?" ”

Liu Taiping said with a smile: "Li Xiucheng has already taken a set, we don't need it." Now, only one more rope is needed to finish it, and the foreigner and Li Xiucheng can be solved. ”

Li Zhen said: "Sir, don't sell Guanzi, explain in detail." ”

Liu Taiping pointed to the place on the map, and carefully explained the next arrangement and the rest of the arrangements. After finishing speaking, Huang Shihai, Qi Zhenhai, and Zhu Wu all thought deeply and showed admiration. According to Liu Taiping's strategy, on the surface, Li Xiucheng had the advantage, and when the army came out at a critical time, it was obviously the officers and soldiers who had the advantage.

Zhou Xiuying, who had been silent, said: "Marshal, are the female soldiers still staying in Daotai Mansion?" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, how did he feel a sense of resentment?

Still, think about it. Zhou Xiuying is full of martial arts, and she doesn't lose to men, so she wants to go to the battlefield, and she is really not used to letting Zhou Xiuying stay in the house. Li Zhen didn't speak, and Liu Taiping, Qi Zhenhai and Huang Shihai didn't interject.

After a long time, Li Zhen asked, "How much did you lose last night with three hundred female soldiers under your command?" ”

Zhou Xiuying looked sad, sighed, and said 1510: "Back to the big handsome, last night I fought fiercely with the foreigners, and lost a total of 148 people, leaving 152 people. ”

Li Zhen thought patiently and said: "The soldiers under your command have suffered heavy losses, and it is not appropriate to continue to fight. You continue to recruit now, you won't go to the battlefield this time, and I will allow you to take female soldiers to the battlefield in the next big war. ”

Zhou Xiuying's eyes lit up and asked, "Dashuai, is this true?" ”

Li Zhen smiled: "With Mr. Liu, Qi Zhenhai and Huang Shihai as witnesses, can you be fake?" ”

Zhou Xiuying smiled, raised her hand to salute Li Zhen, and said loudly: "Dashuai, don't worry, I will definitely guard the Daotai Mansion and will not let the female relatives in the backyard hurt you a single hair." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "Shihai, there are officers and soldiers in the city, as well as grenades and mines made, as long as you command the officers and soldiers of the county government, and then use the city wall to defend the city." You stay to stabilize the situation in the city, and I will take Qi Zhenhai and the more than 1,000 soldiers who returned to the city to join Yang Banhou, and start to arrange the matter of dealing with foreigners and bandits, and wipe out both sides. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai nodded and agreed.

Liu Taiping said in a harmonious voice: "Marshal, it is easy to attract attention when you send troops out of the city now. Wait until it gets dark and then leave quietly, and it's not too late to go and meet Yang Banhou's people. ”

Zhu Wudao: "In this case, I will take the first step and inform Deputy Head Yang to promise Li Xiucheng to cooperate." ”

"Wait!"

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop it, and said: "It's enough to leave the matter of leading troops out of the city to Qi Zhenhai, I will go out of the city with Zhu Wu, and by the way, we will go to investigate the terrain and landforms, and make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Liu Taiping did not stop him and let Li Zhen and Zhu Wu leave.

After the two of them left the city, they went straight to the place where Yang Banhou and more than 2,000 soldiers were hiding.

Li Zhen and Zhu Wu came to the mountains and forests, and immediately asked Zhu Wu to reply to Li Xiucheng, promising to jointly attack the foreigners. Li Xiucheng got the clear news, and he was already smiling from ear to ear. The key to Li Xiucheng's desire to annihilate the foreigners and the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop lies in whether the officers and men are willing to cooperate. Now that the officers and men are cooperating, Li Xiucheng's plan is almost complete.

……

In the evening of the same day, the camp of the Anglo-French army.

In the tent, Adams and Lawell sat on the left and right sides of the conference table, with an interpreter and soldiers sent by Li Xiucheng standing next to them. The soldier said: "My general informs you that traces of officers and soldiers have been found. Officers and men are operating in Sanlihuai. You can ask the soldiers to find out if this is true. If it is true, then send someone to contact my general, and then my general will send soldiers to Sanlihuai with you. ”

Rawell listened to the interpreter's words, nodded his head, and asked the soldier to inquire as soon as he left. This investigation immediately fulfilled Li Xiucheng's words, and there were indeed officers and soldiers.

Adams and Rawell rejoiced in their hearts and asked Li Xiucheng to send troops to exterminate the officers and soldiers.

Early the next morning, the Taiping army appeared outside the foreigners' barracks.

The general who led the troops to the outside of the foreigner's barracks was Zhang Shu, who led a thousand elite soldiers to cooperate with the foreigners. Rewell and Adams gathered their soldiers, and the soldiers on both sides hurried together and headed straight for Sanlihuai. Zhang Shu, Adams, and Rawell set off for four hours, and Li Xiucheng also waited for the officers and soldiers who arrived at the barracks.

The person who led the troops was Yang Banhou.

Li Zhen followed the army and did not show up, but only pretended to be an ordinary officer. Li Xiucheng had heard Li Zhen's name, but he had never seen Li Zhen, not to mention that Li Zhen was still wearing a helmet and armor, which was even more difficult to recognize. Yang Banhou and Lu Shaochuan accompanied him, as well as more than 1,500 soldiers.

Outside the barracks, Yang Banhou looked at Li Xiucheng and said with a smile: "General Li, how many soldiers did you bring out?" ”

Li Xiucheng said: "I have 2,000 soldiers, and we will go to Sanlihuai together. ”

Yang Banhou said: "Okay, let's send troops together." ”

Li Xiucheng said again: "This time to Sanlihuai, because there is no direct road to Sanlihuai, we need to take a detour. You have to head southwest first, then reach Half Moon Bay, and then approach Sanlihuai. ”

Half Moon Bay is a lake leading to Sanlihuai.

Because it resembles a half-moon, it is named.

When Yang Banhou heard this, he frowned and said, "General Li, I remember that Half Moon Bay is a lake. We walked to Sanlihuai by Half Moon Bay, and it was difficult to cross the lake without the help of civilian boats. Besides, there are so many of us, it's not convenient. ”

Li Xiucheng saw that Yang Banhou was about to retreat, and immediately said: "I have sent someone to investigate clearly, there are enough civilian ships." ”

Yang Banhou nodded, and led the army to advance with Li Xiucheng.

ps: two of the three watches; For tomorrow's fourth smaller outbreak, come to flowers and tickets, and ask for support.
