Wu Luolan's request was simply a rude request. It was impossible for Xiao Chen to satisfy her. She probably knew that Xiao Chen would not agree, so she was probably looking for a fight.
The reason is Angelina.
However, Xiao Chen would not quarrel with her, and it was too late to hurt her. Wanyan said he was going to Ross, but Uluolan was very worried. He even led his troops to wander around the border, just for fear of something happening to him...
If the old man and Wanyan Pingqiu hadn't been present, he would have put her in his arms and kissed her forcefully.
The little dispute between him and Uluo Lan can be resolved with just one kiss, if one doesn't work, then two, or countless.
"Why are you staring at me?" Uluolan's whole body became hot under Xiao Chen's fiery eyes.
"I see you have lost weight." Xiao Chen said, "Lan'er, thank you for your hard work."
Not only did Wu Luolan lose weight, but he also became darker. The skin on his originally white and tender face was obviously caused by frostbite.
"Don't look at me!" Wu Luolan covered his face, feeling extremely ugly and not wanting to be looked at by Xiao Chen.
"Ahem, Xiao Chen, have you eaten? No? Then don't eat. Come sit down and let's chat!" The old man coughed, interrupting the flirting between the two.
The latest news is that on the day of the winter solstice, King Zhongcheng Li Wanyun personally led an army to attack Yizhou. With the strong support of the Japanese fleet, it took less than ten days to defeat the Yizhou navy, and also occupied the city that Xiao Xinghan had worked so hard to build.
Several important military ports over the years.
More than 100,000 troops crossed the sea and landed and launched attacks at several ports at the same time. Although the Yizhou soldiers resisted desperately, they were still defeated.
It seems that the entire Yizhou will fall as early as a year ago or as late as next spring or summer.
Although Xiao Chen had expected this to happen, he still couldn't help but feel deeply regretful. Xiao Xinghan's stubbornness and hesitation cost the lives of many soldiers!
If he could make a decisive decision and leave before Li Wanyun attacked Yizhou and stationed at Baiyin Island, he could preserve his strength to the greatest extent so that he could find opportunities to counterattack in the future.
Now everything is in vain.
"Xiao Xinghan is reluctant to part with Yizhou, which he has run for many years. This is human nature. If it were anyone else, he would not leave easily." Wu Luolan said.
"What's the point of not giving up?" Wanyan Pingqiu said, "I think Xiao Xinghan just doesn't know how to choose. He is really not as good as Xiao Chen."
Xiao Chen was willing to give up Gao Juli, who had finally captured him.
"Hmph, why didn't you say that Xiao Xinghan was alone and helpless, and that Xiao Chen still had that Angel to help him?" Uluolan felt a cold breath coming from his nose.
"How can he be isolated and helpless? Aren't we his strong backup? Even if he refuses to go to Lingzhou Island, it's okay to come to our Yanyun County. We can completely protect him." Wanyan Pingqiu is now speaking one mouth at a time.
We are really not surprised at all.
"Xiao Xinghan's character is such that he is never willing to rely on others." Chen Jisheng said, "He would rather break than bend, but he doesn't know that steel is easy to break. From this point of view alone, he is not as good as Li Renzong!"
Chen Jisheng couldn't even look down on Xiao Xinghan. From the beginning to the end, he never suggested that Xiao Chen strengthen contact with him, because he knew that this man could not conspire in big things!
It is the kind of person who succeeds less than fails.
"The Japanese are planning to completely occupy Gao Juli this time. The intelligence said that they have sent at least 100,000 troops there, and others are still being mobilized one after another. The officials sent by Li Wanjiang have also taken office. Haha, cooperation like this
I have never heard of this method." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Working together in a conspiracy, just for the sake of the present, each with his own agenda, will never last long." Chen Jisheng said, "I think when Yizhou is defeated, Li Wanjiang and Dongying will almost fall out. Haha, their cooperation this time is too purposeful.
They all only saw the immediate benefits, but did not consider them carefully..."
If Chen Jisheng were still in the Zhou Dynasty, he would definitely oppose Li Wanjiang's cooperation with the Japanese, because although this kind of cooperation can obtain considerable benefits in a short period of time, in the long run, it will actually cause endless troubles!
Because although Yizhou is in the hands of Xiao Xinghan and poses a certain threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you look at it from another angle, it is actually a barrier on the southeastern coast of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With them here, the Japanese fleet cannot freely operate in the southeastern waters.
Activities, even if they are activities, are quite limited.
Although Xiao Xinghan and the Japanese were in secret communication, it was just a compromise. They would never give up an inch of territorial sea to the Japanese, let alone any port in Yizhou to them.
The Japanese did not dare to attack Yizhou easily, because in theory, Yizhou was still the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and invading Yizhou would be tantamount to declaring war with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It's better now. You took the initiative to join forces with the Japanese to eliminate Xiao Xinghan, and also agreed to transfer the port to them. Isn't this self-destruction of the Great Wall?
Of course, if your Great Zhou Navy is strong, there is no problem in occupying Yizhou. The problem is that your Great Zhou Navy is too weak! You basically have no say in the sea. When the Japanese fleet patrols south, you can stop them.
cannot?
For this reason, he gave up Gao Juli, whom Xiao Chen finally captured... Now what do you think the situation is like? From Gao Juli in the north to Yizhou Island in the south, they control the entire eastern sea area. If in the future
After using Yizhou as a springboard to conquer the southern Xinjiang kingdoms, would it form a situation to encircle the Great Zhou Dynasty?
In time, they will simultaneously raise troops from Gaojuli, Yizhou, and southern Xinjiang to attack the Zhou Dynasty. How will you, Li Wanjiang, deal with it?
Do you think that with the Russian state in the north to contain them, the Japanese would not dare to launch a war in the north? Then you are totally wrong!
In the face of interests, there are no permanent enemies. If the Japanese and the Russians unite to attack you, and finally divide your territory equally, what can you do?
Fortunately, Xiao Chen established a cooperative relationship with the Russians one step ahead. Otherwise...otherwise, it would not only be you, Zhou Dynasty, who would die, but our entire China!
This is not unfounded worry or alarmist talk.
Ordinarily Li Wanjiang would not be so stupid. Maybe he is a fan of the authorities, maybe he wants to take a gamble...
But from the moment he placed the bet, he was doomed to lose.
"What about our cooperation with Ross?" Uluolan asked, "Xiao Chen, have you thought it through?"
"There is no need to consider this at all." Xiao Chen said, "Our Yanyun is caught in the middle by Zhou, Ruosi, and Japan. It is definitely impossible to live in peace all the time. We can only unite one, stabilize one, and beat the other. In fact, if
The Japanese people should be better behaved. I originally considered cooperating with them, but who knew they were so shameless!"
You will definitely not be able to cooperate with Da Zhou, and they will fall out sooner or later, so the current strategy is to stabilize them.
Ross and Japan are two choices and must be selected.
Originally, Xiao Chen was inclined to temporarily cooperate with Japan. After all, they were originally from China, and it was easier for them to communicate and integrate in all aspects of their cultural traditions.
