It was still late at night that day, Devil Six knew that Cixi sent his younger brother Gui Xiang to carry out a trick, although he felt that Cixi was a bit too much to do, and he was quite suspicious of Cixi's true purpose, but Gui Xiang had already ridden a fast horse out of the city and went to the direction of Xinmin, and at the same time Ci'an also testified that he kept a close eye on Cixi and ensured that Cixi did not play any other tricks, so Devil Six did not delve too deeply into this matter, The concentration was only on helping the Russian army to enter the city of Shenyang and arranging reliable candidates to escort Ci'an and others to the north.

It is easy to help the Tsarist army to enter the city of Shenyang, in the case of the Wu army's troops, the puppet Manchurian court has actually been prepared to allow the Tsarist army to enter the city and station, Shenyang is a big city, the space in the city is far larger than the ordinary city, a few streets can be used to house the Tsarist army, and the devil six does not need to worry about this aspect.

At this time, it is obvious that a large number of troops can no longer be arranged to escort Ci'an and others to the north, and Liaodong, which has just been redeveloped for more than two years, is vast and sparsely populated, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, and there are often tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests along the way, and it must be very dangerous to arrange too few guards. Therefore, the devil six discussed with the prince Yi Cheng, who was responsible for escorting the north, for a long time, and then decided to arrange eighty of the best imperial guards to ride fast horses and disguise themselves as caravan men to protect Ci'an and others to ride north.

After the escort plan was submitted to Ci'an and Cixi, Ci'an, who didn't have much folk experience, immediately nodded in agreement, but Cixi, who had suffered a lot in the folk with her mother's family, saw the drawbacks at a glance, and immediately said: "Sixth, you can't arrange it like this, the army is in chaos, that business can take out so many good horses for the guys to ride?" If they encounter a scout of Wu thieves on the road, they can see at a glance that there is something wrong with such a caravan! ”

"The imperial sister-in-law is right, and the younger brother also knows that such an arrangement is easy for others to see the problem." Devil Ziliu said distressedly: "But Brother Chen really has no other way, it is impossible to walk more than 100 miles to Tieling, and he directly disguises himself as an ordinary cavalryman and carries a carriage carrying people, which will also make people suspicious." ”

"Assign us a fake identity right away." Cixi didn't think about it and said: "Prepare an official document for us to prove that we are the Zhengfujin and Side Fujin of the Mongolian Zasaktu Tushetu Prince Babao Dorji, and hand it over to the fifth child to take with him, and then prepare a fake Mongolian leader identity for the fifth child." In this way, even if we accidentally run into a Wu thief scout on the road, we can also pass the customs under the banner of Mongolian Fujin. ”

"The imperial sister-in-law is smart!" Devil Six suddenly woke up, applauded and applauded: "It is justified for Mongolian Fujin to take the road of Tieling back to Mongolia, and Wu Thief is desperately trying to win over the Mongolian princes, seeing that you are Mongolian Fujin, it is very likely that he will not embarrass you." ”

"Sister, you are still smart, you can think of a good way so quickly, now we can rest assured on the road."

Ci'an also opened his mouth to praise, and after this twist and turn, Ci'an and Devil Six were immediately relieved to Cixi, and then Devil Six hurriedly forged the identities of the two Mongolian Fujin to Ci'an and Cixi, and when the sky was twilight the next day, Ci'an and Cixi took Emperor Kant to board the carriage, quietly went out of the city from the east gate of Shenyang under the protection of the guards led by Prince Xuan, and rushed north to Tieling with a double forged identity.

In the end, it was only after Ci'an and Cixi and others had gone away that the devil six announced the news to other civil and military officials of the puppet Manchu state, and the puppet Manchurian officials were in an uproar, but they had no choice but to obediently kneel down to receive the so-called holy decree left by Ci'an and Cixi, temporarily obey the leadership and command of the devil six, and prepare to rush north to Heilongjiang in batches to meet Ci'an, Cixi and others, and establish the so-called puppet Manchurian state in Heilongjiang City.

At the same time, the Tsarist Russian army also swaggered into Shenyang under the frightened eyes of the people of Shenyang, and soon divided the army to forcibly take over the Shenyang granary. Chonghou, who commanded the Qing army in Shenyang, was furious when he heard this, and when he found Devil Six to question about the matter, Devil Six, who had no idea in advance, was secretly scolding the Russians for their inch, and at the same time tried his best to persuade Chonghou to focus on the overall situation and try to maintain restraint.

In the end, after several negotiations, the devil six finally won the decision to jointly manage the granary in front of Rhemeni - but how the Tsarist army used grain and grass, the puppet Manchurian officials and the army had no right to interfere. At the same time, under the persecution of Rhemeny and Kazakevich, Devil Six also cried and promised to let nearly half of the Qing army in Shenyang continue to be stationed outside the city, guarding the fortifications outside the city, acting as a peripheral barrier for Shenyang City and the Tsarist army, and also in exchange for the noble roar of the Qing army general......

"What the fuck is our place? Or is it a place for the fuck Rakshasa foreign devils?! ”

…………

In order not to give the Qing army in Shenyang too much time to prepare, the day after taking Xinmin City, it was also the day when Ci'an and Cixi decided to flee north, in fact, the main force of the Wu army's vanguard Jiang Zhongji Army had already crossed the Liao River and marched eastward and took the lead in Shenyang. As soon as he found that the Wu army had crossed the river, he immediately gave up the Jingyan Fort, which was actually only a dirt fence, and retreated towards Shenyang.

On the same day, the main force of the Wu army also successfully crossed the Liao River, but because it carried a large number of siege heavy artillery and grain and grass baggage, it was not in a hurry to advance eastward, until the early morning of the next day, Cao Yanzhong personally led the main force to Shenyang, Jiang Zhongji's army also left Jingyan Fort and marched eastward, keeping a certain distance from the main force, and marched into Shenyang in turn steadily.

The road outside the Guan, which lacks good maintenance, is rugged and difficult to travel, and the main force of the Wu army has never been able to march fast, and as a result, this also makes Cao Yanzhong, the commander of the Wu army, even more worried - it is difficult to supply grain and grass by land, and the main enemy of the Northern Expedition, the Russian army, is very cunning and blindly avoids the war, and even refuses to confront Jiang Zhongji's corps, which is only the second-line army of the Wu army, and would rather take the initiative to give up Jingyan Fort than give Jiang Zhongji a chance to bite them, so Cao Yanzhong inevitably has some suspicions that the Tsarist army is fighting such an idea- Completely retreated to the city of Shenyang, relying on the city fortifications and the Wu army, dragged to the Wu army There was a problem with the supply of grain and grass.

"You have to find a way to lure the Rakshasa foreign devil to fight with Lao Tzu, otherwise, if you want to take Shenyang, you don't know how much more time and cost you will have to take."

When he was worried about this matter, a new change suddenly happened, and Jiang Zhongji's army in front suddenly sent a fast horse to send an important prisoner who had just been caught, and also reported that the name of this prisoner was Guixiang, and he was the younger brother of the puppet Empress Dowager Cixi of Manchukuo, and he brought Cixi's handwritten letter to beg for submission. Cao Yanzhong, who had seen Gui Xiang in Shanghai, heard this and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, bring Gui Xiang to see me!" ”

After Gui Xiang, who had just turned fifteen, was sent to the front, there was no need to do any identification, just by Gui Xiang's face that looked very similar to Hui Zheng, Cao Yanzhong knew that this kid was once hugged by his younger brother Cixi, and immediately smiled: "Little guy, do you remember your Uncle Cao?" When I was in Shanghai, you kid had to pester me to teach you how to shoot, and you taught you to shoot by hand, and you scared me so much that I peed my pants. Hurry up, untie this little guy. ”

"Little nephew Guixiang, I have seen Uncle Cao. Wow, Uncle Big, you're here too? You said that when I grow up, you will take me around the flower boat to drink flower wine, and now that I have grown up, you must ask for the flower wine that owes me. Hey, you seem to be Uncle Qian, right? ”

Gui Xiang has a good memory, not only remembering Cao Yanzhong and Wu Dada, but also vaguely remembering Qian Wei, who was inconspicuous by Wu Chaoyue's side at that time, and after happily saluting a few uncles, Gui Xiang remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly knelt down on Cao Yanzhong's knees, and said: "Uncle Cao, go to Tieling to save my sister and my nephew!" That stinky bitch in Ci'an, and Prince Gong, are going to kidnap my sister and my nephew to Heilongjiang! ”

"What do you say? Your sister is going to Heilongjiang? ”

Cao Yanzhong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly went to pick up the letter from Cixi handed over by the soldiers of Jiang Zhongji's army, and opened it to see the contents, while Gui Xiang hurriedly said: "Uncle Cao, don't read it, that letter is fake, it was an excuse that my sister found for me to send the letter, and none of the words in it are true." ”

"Fake? An excuse to send a letter? Cao Yanzhong was completely dizzy, and in the end, it was under Gui Xiang's careful explanation that Cao Yanzhong knew what really happened.

It turned out that since that time he reluctantly dispelled Ci'an's idea of going north to Heilongjiang, Cixi expected that Ci'an and Devil Six would definitely force him to go north to Heilongjiang again, and if he insisted on opposing it at that time, he would probably be worried about his life. Therefore, Cixi also laid out the situation early, and took the opportunity of inspecting the studies of her two younger brothers, and quietly explained the secret order in Gui Xiang's ear, so that Gui Xiang was ready, as long as she sent someone to let Gui Xiang come forward to contact Wu Jun, then no matter what excuse she used, it was fake, and the real purpose was to let Gui Xiang ask Wu Jun for help, and ask Wu Jun to send troops to rescue himself and Emperor Kant! At the same time, Cixi also expected early that Ci'an would definitely take himself and his son north to Heilongjiang on the road of Tieling, so she asked Guixiang to ask Wu Jun to send troops to Tieling to rescue herself!

Cixi only miscalculated, that is, after knowing the truth, although Cao Yanzhong, who was also her uncle, admired her boldness and carefulness and knew things like a god, she inevitably suspected that this was the enemy's trick to lure the troops, and did not send cavalry to attack Tieling at the first time, but chose to carefully ask Gui Xiang about other specific situations. As a result, Cixi was also unlucky, although her younger brother Gui Xiang was familiar with the generals of the Wu army, he was a person of mediocre talent, and he would only beg Cao Yanzhong to send troops to save his sister quickly, and it took a lot of time to make Cao Yanzhong fully believe his words.

In the end, it was the open terrain in the north of Shenyang that made Cao Yanzhong make up his mind, with a skeptical attitude, Cao Yanzhong arranged for Ding Ruchang to lead the cavalry of the Wu army to Tieling to try his luck, and at the same time repeatedly told Ding Ruchang to retreat immediately if he found something wrong, Ding Ruchang received the order, and quickly took more than 2,000 cavalry under his command to break away from the main brigade, and went straight to Yilu Station, the only road from Shenyang to Tieling, through Laobian Station, to search for the traces of Cixi and Ci'an and others.

The situation is constantly changing, after crossing the old border station and continuing to the east, the cavalry of the Wu army led by Ding Ruchang first faced the objective problem that the road was not smooth enough, and the speed of the team was never fast, and after reaching the Yilu River, which had a large amount of water, the cavalry of the Wu army had to find a place where the water flow was gentle to cross the river, and at the same time had to be careful to guard against the ambush of the Qing army, so it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Ding Ruchang's army finally arrived at the Yilu station.

As soon as they arrived at Yilu Station, the cavalry of the Wu Army heard an important situation from the local villagers - there was indeed a team of knights protecting two carriages, and they hurriedly rushed through Yilu Station to the north not long ago! Ding Ruchang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly led the Wu cavalry to chase all the way, and slaughtered in the direction of Tieling in the north, and when he crossed Fanhe City, the Wu army was pleasantly surprised to see that on the road to Tieling, there was indeed a team of knights galloping!

But it's a pity that the knights in front also discovered the arrival of the Wu cavalry almost at the same time, and immediately rushed to Tieling City, although the Wu army chased hard, but because of the trek all the way, the horse's physical strength declined, no matter what, there was no way to quickly close the distance with the team of knights, they could only watch the team of knights kick and beat the war horses frantically, and gradually approached the streets outside the city of Tieling, and at this moment the sun has not completely set, and the gate of Tieling is still not closed!

The sound of gunfire has already sounded in the Wu army's chasing team, but unfortunately the distance is a little far, the Wu army's cavalry's revolver is difficult to accurately hit the target, although it successfully knocked down some knights, but it has never been able to prevent the team of knights from rushing madly into the streets of Tieling Chengxia Town, which has been in chaos, crashing into all kinds of debris on the side of the street, crashing into the people on the street who can't avoid it, stepping on the flesh and blood of passers-by, rushing to the city gate that is gradually closing......

One by one, the knights rushed into the south gate of Tieling City, the city gate was temporarily closed, and the two carriages also rushed across the moat one after another, almost rushing to the city gate with rolling and climbing, and the cavalry soldiers of the Wu army led by Ding Ruchang were so anxious that they all shouted loudly, but they still couldn't grab the front and stop the two carriages from entering the city. Finally, the two carriages one after the other successfully rushed into the city gate, and the Tieling city gate was immediately closed......

"I'll fuck you! It's only a few seconds away! ”

Ding Ruchang and countless Wu soldiers were so remorseful that they almost went crazy, and shot at the city gate and the city one after another, but to no avail, they still couldn't open the city gate, rushed in and pulled out the internal members of the two carriages! On the contrary, some guns of the defenders of Tieling soon appeared on the city, shooting at the cavalry officers of the Wu army one after another, and at the same time smashing the stone ash bottle to protect the city gate, forcing the remorseful and screaming Wu soldiers back to the other side of the moat.

Of course, the cavalry of the Wu army did not work in vain, at least several enemy knights were captured by the cavalry of the Wu army after being shot or left behind, and after a confession of punching and kicking, several prisoners also spoke one after another, admitting that the people sitting in the carriage were indeed the Empress Dowager of the puppet Manchurian State and the Emperor Kant! Hearing this report, Ding Ruchang didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately shouted: "Find some people, let them dig up the bridge of the moat and block the four gates!" Message to our workhorse! Please send reinforcements to help us attack the city! ”
