The reason why Xiao Chen chose to talk to Alexek directly, without letting Ye Baiqing or Wanyan Pingqiu do anything to buffer him, was to show his firm attitude to Ross, because there was no room for negotiation on this matter!
As long as he makes even a small concession in the negotiation, the Russians will make further progress!
So it's better to just cut them off.
Alexek did not expect that Xiao Chen would have such a tough attitude and kill the negotiation in just a few words. No wonder Queen Angelina said that Xiao Chen was difficult to deal with. Only now did she really understand how powerful he was.
In this battle, he also experienced the power of the Yanyun Guards, the Northern Guards, and especially the Yanyun Navy. It turned out that their strength was far more powerful than he had estimated!
No wonder Xiao Chen's attitude is so tough, he has the confidence.
In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to withdraw his troops.
It was impossible not to withdraw, because although Xiao Chen regarded the Russians as 'good friends', Wanyan Pingqiu always remained hostile to them.
After the Northern Guards moved south in a large scale, they quickly occupied all the big cities in Goguryeo and drove out all the Russian soldiers originally stationed in the cities on the pretext of maintaining local stability.
On the grounds that General Ross's military discipline was corrupt, a considerable number of troops were sent to patrol around their military camp to monitor and restrict their every move. In just half a month, dozens of small-scale fights occurred between the two sides.
In the conflict, many people died, mainly Russians...
After the death of Li Renzong, the Li dynasty was completely destroyed. With the "strong support" of many generals and ministers of Gao Juli, as well as the common people, Wanyan Pingqiu half-heartedly took the position of governor of Gao Juli, and "quanqie" acted for Gao Juli.
Li Yi responds to all matters big and small.
Wei Yuntian's Yanyun Army and the Ross Army withdrew almost at the same time, and all defenses were taken over by Wanyan Pingqiu's command.
It was claimed externally that, like the Russian army, they withdrew due to pressure from Wanyan Pingqiu.
On the surface, it looks like Yanyun, Ross, and Japan had a great fight, but Wanyan Pingqiu took a big advantage.
What actually happened is a matter of opinion...
When Xiao Chen and others stepped into Li Renzong's palace for the first time, they were deeply shocked by its magnificence. They felt that its level of luxury was even comparable to Li Wanjiang's imperial city.
This was built by Grandpa Li Renzong. The project was so huge that it took a full twenty years and cost countless manpower and material resources.
Some people say that the decline of Gojury began with the establishment of this palace.
"Wanyan, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Chen asked Wanyan Pingqiu, who was silent beside him.
"I want to burn this place down!" Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Stop making trouble, you can't live without it, but you can't burn it either!" The fat man was startled.
"If we don't burn it, it will always be the symbol of the Li Dynasty in the hearts of the people of Gao Juli." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"There are many ways to destroy it, but there is no need to burn it. Especially now, if you do this, you will probably arouse the resentment of Gao Juli." Xiao Chen said.
"Then tear down the city wall and turn this place into a government office." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"I think this will work." Xiao Chen agreed.
"Sigh... I was tired during the battle. I thought I could relax after the battle, but I didn't expect that I was even more tired. My heart was tired!" Wanyan Pingqiu said, "Xiao Chen, can you please replace me with someone else? I'll talk to you every day.
I'm worried to death about this mess."
"Hahaha, what you think is beautiful!" Xiao Chen was happy, "No, Gao Juli can't control anyone except you. I see that your prestige of Gao Juli is much higher than that of Li Renzong."
"Hmph, don't talk about Li Renzong, I think he is taller than you Xiao Chen." The fat man said with a smile.
"This is the truth." Xiao Chen admitted, "So Wanyan, you can't give up your choice no matter what."
"Xiao Chen, do you really want to conquer the world?" Wanyan Pingqiu suddenly asked.
"I don't want to." Xiao Chen said, "But again, you and I are now on the cusp of the historical tide. If we don't want to be shattered, we can only go against the current. In the end, we still have no choice but to do it ourselves."
Xiao Chen wanted to retreat from the rapids more than once, but he was pushed ruthlessly by an invisible force from behind, and he could only move forward step by step with difficulty.
Because he knew he could no longer look back.
No matter how big the storm is in front of him, he must rush over it, otherwise all the brothers will be shattered like him.
"Then whose head will the next big wave hit?" Wanyan Pingqiu asked.
Is it Russia, Japan, or Dazhou?
They are the three largest rocks on Xiao Chen's path. If he cannot break them, he will be sunk by them.
And there's no way around it.
But they are all too powerful. With Xiao Chen's current strength, it is impossible to have a direct passionate collision with them. It would be almost like hitting an egg against a stone.
The future is bumpy and the road ahead is long and arduous.
It’s better to do the things in front of you well, work steadily and take it one step at a time.
"Now Xiao Chen, you have offended all three parties." The fat man's words always sounded like he was gloating. "You have completely fallen out with the Japanese, you almost fell out with the Russians, and you will probably soon fall out with Li Wanjiang..."
"What the hell, how great would it be if Li Wanjiang, Angelina, and that other miraculous person could have Wanyan's overall view?" Xiao Chen sighed, "How much worry can we guys save? It's a pity that this
The three of them are all careerists, and their ambitions are too small, like sesame seeds and mung beans.”
"Fat man, are you complimenting me?" Wanyan Pingqiu asked the fat man.
"I'm not praising you, I'm flattering you. This guy will do this every time he wants to betray his friends. You have to be careful." The fat man said with a smile.
"What are you talking about!" Xiao Chen was dissatisfied, "How can you betray your friends? It should be said that you are using them!"
"I'm not careful when I make friends." Wanyan Pingqiu sighed, "I feel like I will be tricked by your kid sooner or later."
"Look, you said this again!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "You are already in the pit now, and you jumped in on your own initiative."
"Now that I think about it, it turns out that my father, the King, is the truly smart man." Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Li Renzong, too." Xiao Chen said.
In fact, Li Renzong was not dead, because he was a smart man. Before Xijing was captured, he had quietly slipped out of the city and found Xiao Chen.
He is willing to use the throne of Gao Juli in exchange for the peace and freedom of himself and his family for the rest of his life. Of course, this is a request. If you don't agree, Xiao Chen, you can kill me now.
A king who has lost his country several times should be at the mercy of others, so how can he dare to complain?
It is better to die in your hands, Xiao Chen, than to die in the hands of the Russians or the Japanese. At least you can remember your past feelings and leave me a intact body.
Xiao Chen didn't kill him, he couldn't do it, and the so-called eradication of the grass and roots was not his style.
He is not a ruthless person either.
This is the difference between him and Angelina, Li Wanjiang, and Emperor Shenzhao.
