Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking black tea, as comfortable as in his own living room. This surprised Captain Peter Mikhailovich Sobolev next to him.

You must know that this is the center of Chernihiv city, the core area where rebel leaders gather. Just next door, separated by a wall, a dozen rebel leaders were having a meeting, while downstairs there were hundreds of rebel soldiers who looked at each other with disapproval and were confronting each other.

In a place like this, someone actually eats and drinks without caring, just as comfortable as having a tea party at home. How nervous is this!

"Peter Mikhailovich, relax. This place is not as dangerous as you think. If Dmitri finds out about your performance, he will probably scold you again!"

Li Xiao picked up a cookie, dipped it in black tea, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Your Excellency, you really are not worried at all. These guys outside are..."

Li Xiao waved his hand and replied easily: "You want to tell me that they are all gangsters and rebels, and they kill people without blinking an eye and can eat human flesh, right?"

The corners of Sobolev's mouth twitched. What he wanted to say was not so exaggerated, but the meaning was similar. No matter how he looked at it, it was too dangerous for an imperial prince to risk his own life and enter the core area controlled by the rebels. No matter how he looked at it, it was too reckless!

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "Didn't I tell you already? That Sergey doesn't dare to do anything to us. He is a smart man and knows how to protect his interests. He will not allow us to lose a single thing." It’s so stupid that he wants to kneel down and kiss our insteps.”

Sobolev was a little dumbfounded. He thought this was too exaggerated. Although the long-legged Sergei's attitude towards them was indeed a bit flattering, he would not kneel down and kiss their toes. And after all, this guy is also the leader of the rebels. There are some cowardly people who dare to raise their heads to rebel. The flattery he shows is probably just a disguise!

Li Xiao doesn't think so. The most terrifying thing in the world is a traitor. When a person goes out of his way to become a traitor, all his bottom lines and dignity no longer exist. To keep what he wants he will give up all dignity and be lower than the meanest son of a bitch.

In order to please his new master, a person like him can't wait to show his fangs to his former partners, because he wants to use practical actions to tell his master that he is different from those people!

Traitors are the most shameless and have no bottom line. Since Sergei the Long-Legged is determined to become a traitor, he will only enshrine Li Xiao and others like their ancestors and use various means to please them.

Life-threatening?

It doesn't exist at all.

All that existed was nausea, because his shameless face was really disgusting!

Anyway, Li Xiao didn't like the long-legged Sergei. Seeing this guy was as disgusting as seeing a traitor.

But he had to admit that for the time being, there was indeed a need for traitors like Sergei the Long-Legged.

After all, Dmitry Milyutin had limited troops, and Alexander II also had limited resources to put down the rebellion. It is simply impossible to quickly wipe out the rebels all over Ukraine in one fell swoop with the current strength.

Therefore, foolishly fighting head-on is the last resort. Li Xiao’s suggestion is to divide the rebels from within, win over a group of unsteady "long-legged Sergei", and use them to disintegrate the rebels’ will to fight. At worst, they can also create Chaos within the rebels.

As long as the rebels are in disarray, it will be much easier for Dmitri to fight, right?

Of course, this is the most basic goal. What Li Xiao really wants to do is to attract smart people like Sergei the Long-Leggs and let them cooperate with Dmitry to eliminate the rebels.

This idea was initially considered impossible by Dmitry Milyutin, but Li Xiao was a living example of instigating the rebellion of long-legged Sergei. With just a little trick, Shalakov's troops were eliminated. Even Shalakov himself was sent to Dmitri, and is now sitting in a prison car and sent to St. Petersburg with other captured rebel leaders.

Li Xiao believed that St. Petersburg, especially Alexander II, would be very satisfied with this gift. After all, Shalakov is also a rebel leader on the official wanted list, and his head is worth three thousand rubles!

Compared with Shalakov's head, the reason why Dmitri let Li Xiaoshi go to Chernihiv was because of the gold and silver treasures sent by the long-legged Sergei.

Two big cars full! Worth at least 150,000 rubles!

This is not a small amount of money. For Dmitry, who is very nervous about the central government's finances and is reporting to St. Petersburg every day to urge money and food on military expenditure issues, this is pie in the sky.

With this money, at least this month he won't have to worry about food and military pay for the army. And Li Xiao also told him that the money was just the beginning. As long as they gave full play to the enthusiasm of the long-legged Sergei, many similar people would take the initiative to provide military pay later.

"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, do you think this Sergey can persuade those rebels to surrender?" Sobolev asked anxiously.

Li Xiao took a sip of black tea and replied slowly: "If he can't even do this little thing well, then he obviously doesn't deserve to cooperate with us... But, judging from his method of dealing with Shalakov, it should be nothing. question!"

Sobolev asked worriedly: "But I heard that the Chernihiv rebels are not monolithic. Many people have very stubborn attitudes. What if they..."

Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "There is no such thing as a chance. I believe Sergey is a smart man. He will deal with those thorny people. Even if he can't convince them, the worst he can do is destroy their bodies directly!"

Sobolev was shocked because he felt that the rebels should be more united, and the education he had received since childhood also told him that doing so was a bit too much.

To be honest, he couldn't accept it!

Li Xiao saw Sobolev's performance, and to be honest, he was not particularly optimistic about Dmitri, the new lieutenant. This child has a good background. His father is a marquis, his uncle is an earl, and his ancestors have been high-class people for generations. Moreover, when he studied, he worked too hard and believed in the dogma in books.

This child knows nothing about real human society, and has absolutely no impression of the ugliness of society. He is simply a harmless little white rabbit.

Such a rabbit will be exposed to a deal dirtier than a cesspit as soon as he comes up. Not to mention that all other three views will be shattered and may make him doubt life.

Li Xiao doesn't have that much time in the United States to help Little White Rabbit adjust its mentality!
