Chapter 1509 Summation
The Eastern Legion led by Sun Xu and the envoys sent by the Scottish Presbyterian Church arrived in Oxford almost at the same time, boosting the morale of the King's Army.

They now have an unprecedented advantage, and victory is almost within reach!
The troops led by naval officers such as Sun Xu and Ruan Youjin were stationed outside Oxford. Their camps were more orderly than the English militia trained by Sun Chuanting. The two sides were not at the same level of army at all.

The officers of the Fourth Fleet met Sun Chuanting who was staying in Oxford.

"I didn't expect that we supported the king, and it would turn out like this. You and I have never imagined such a situation. It's better to say that people are not as good as heaven." Sun Xu was quite sad when he saw Sun Chuanting, who was the northern commander of the king's army.

They were just watching the show and wanted King Charles to win. Unexpectedly, King Charles was killed, and they had to be involved in this war.

"The world is unpredictable, and who can say for sure whether life or death, misfortune or fortune, all we can do is play by ear. If Princess Sophia comes to power, it is very likely that the policy will be biased towards us, and in Princess Elizabeth of the Netherlands we will I don’t know her, and her eldest son, Carl, is on the side of the London City Council. We can’t decide whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing for her to come to power. We need to choose the possibility that is beneficial to us as much as possible.” Sun Chuanting took off his hat, In order to better command part of the army of the king, he wore the cap of a local officer.

"After all, Princess Sophia has been exposed to our culture and can communicate better. I support your approach." Sun Xu said.

"However, I concealed this matter behind the back of the military leader. You must plead for me when this matter is reported to the mainland. I am considering it for our overall interests." Sun Chuanting was slightly worried.

"I will help you write a letter to defend. If you are only interfering in the succession of the throne under the guise of marriage, I believe that the military leader will not blame you." Sun Xu and others said.

"It's easy for you to say, but I need to bear the consequences of things."

"Okay, it's time for us to discuss how to march to the city of London."

Sun Chuanting took a group of people to Oxford University, which is the headquarters of the King's Army.

Several knights saw Sun Xu, Sun Chuanting and others coming on the stone road of the college, and greeted them respectfully.

"Where are Prince Rupert, Alister and others?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"They are receiving an envoy from Scotland."

"The Scots? Aren't they our enemies? What are they doing here at this hour?"

"The Presbyterian Church in Scotland intends to make peace with us, and the leading MPs and military officers are inside negotiating with them."

"You negotiated with the Scots privately without notifying me?"

"We are going to find you, but we heard that you went to meet the reinforcements outside the city, so we think it is inconvenient to disturb you."

"Now the three of us go in, is it okay?"

"of course."

Several knights led Sun Chuanting and the others into a hall of the college, where there were Scottish envoys and members of the King's Army sitting on both sides of the long table talking.

"This is our reinforcements from the east. Their officers and 3000 brave soldiers will participate in the campaign against the murderer for the king. We want to defeat the London Parliament and track down the real murderer who murdered the king." Prince Rupert as the envoy Introduce Sun Chuanting and the others.

The envoys from Scotland were in awe. They were no strangers to the notorious Sun Chuanting. In the battle of the Marston Moor, he defeated Earl Leven, who had served as the Swedish Field Marshal, and caused heavy losses to the Scottish Covenant Army. People from the East Described as a wizard who summons wind and rain!

They found that the person standing in front of them was just an ordinary middle-aged man, the only difference from them was black hair and yellow skin, which surprised them.

"You are the legendary oriental wizard, Sun Chuanting who can call wind and rain?" The Scottish envoy cast a curious look.

"It's true that I am Sun Chuanting, but I will not call the wind and rain...... Prince Rupert, what terms do they plan to negotiate with?" Sun Chuanting asked.

"Their condition is simple, that their Scottish troops stay at the border and stop participating in our English civil war. At the same time, they can even support Princess Sophia as joint queen of England and Scotland after our victory, provided that we cannot fight in the war. Hold them accountable to the Scots for the war when it's over, while allowing them freedom of faith and continuing to pay the debt owed to the Scots by Charles I," said Prince Rupert.

"They are about to be defeated, yet they dare to make so many demands. If they still want to ask the royal family to repay the compensation, I don't think they have tried the feeling of defeat." Sun Chuanting was dissatisfied with the Scots.

The royal family also owed a loan of 40 pounds to Chinese businessmen, and promised to pay them the military expenses of 3000 people who participated in the battle.Before the royal family repays them these expenses, Sun Chuanting does not want the royal family to owe the Scots military expenses. After all, Charles I used loans from Chinese merchants to repay the indemnity owed to Scotland by the Covenant Army.Now that Charles I was killed, the royal family is in a financial crisis. It is hard to say whether it can repay the loan of 40 pounds. Where is there any extra money to continue to pay the Scottish Covenant Army compensation.

The Scottish envoy was shocked when he heard this. The other party wanted to take away the £30 indemnity that Charles I promised to compensate them for the English Covenant Army!That huge sum of money was only a part of the loss!

"The armistice treaty signed between Scotland and England has the king's signature and seal on it. According to the treaty, we should compensate us 30 pounds, but now the king has only paid 10 pounds in compensation, and there is still 20 pounds in compensation. We, Scotland, should have the right to claim this compensation," said the Scottish envoy.

"The Scottish Covenant Army and the rebellion against the city of London are now the sinners of England and Scotland. Even if you want to withdraw from the war, it is not you who have the final say, but us who have the final say." Chief Military Officer Astor Li almost held the same attitude as Sun Chuanting at this time.

"Aren't you afraid that we will continue to help the Parliament in London to fight? Then even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses. We still have 2 people in the Covenant Army!" The Scottish envoy threatened.

"If the Covenant Army wants to continue to support the London Parliament, then you go ahead. We can tell you bluntly that we are about to attack the City of London and will launch a final offensive against you. If the Scots still stand in London unwisely On the side of the parliament, it will inevitably be hit by destruction." Prince Rupert, Astley, and Sun Chuanting are not at all afraid of the threat of the Scottish envoy's retreat.
