"What a breathless guy!"

Shan County Youpeng muttered dissatisfiedly.

However, the telegraph office and the wire repair team are also managed by sappers, so Yabuki Hide's behavior of running to the telegraph office early in the morning is stupid, but it is not out of line.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Youpeng of Shan County completed his inspection and returned to the Madian Military Headquarters.

He thought about the fork in the village and walked into the courtyard of the telegraph office.

"Commander."

Seeing that there were friends in Shanxian County walking into the courtyard, the soldiers and officers inside all stood up and saluted.

There are friends in Shanxian who don't take care of them, and strode straight into the telegraph room.

"Commander."

Including Shuichi Yabuki, who was dozing off on the table, they all hurriedly jumped up and saluted.

"Bastard!"

Looking at Yabuki Xiu's eyes were blood-red and his face was tired, Yama Prefecture Youpeng was angry.

"Hey!"

Yabuki Shuichi didn't dare to fight back.

Youpeng of Shan County quietly glanced at the silent telegraph, his face was a little better, and he yelled: "Wash your face with ice water and cheer up immediately!" ”

"Hey!"

Yabuki Shuichi pulled his neck and yelled.

Shan County Youpeng turned around and strode out, at this time he had already changed his mind, and decided to immediately convene a combat meeting, and launch a full-front attack in the early morning of the seventh day of the new tomorrow!

Not counting today, he still has seven days left.

He's in a race against time.

In these seven precious days, the First Army must at least break through Shanhaiguan and encircle Yanjing.

In this way, even if Yanjing City cannot be captured for a while, or Prince Akihito Komatsumiya forces the First Army to stop attacking, he can force the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city!

As for his future destiny in the future, what kind of accusations and even punishments he will face from domestic political enemies for disobeying the emperor's orders, Yama Prefecture Youpeng does not think about it at all.

He did not hesitate,

He died without regrets,

If he is standing on the bank of the Yishui River, he is about to cross the river to assassinate Jing Ke of Qin Wangzheng, 'The wind is Xiao Xiao and goes to Yi Shui Han, and the strong man will never return!' ’

At this moment, the heart of Youpeng in Shan County is full of tragedy and excitement.

He strode to the door.

Outside the door, the world is infinitely wide!

"Bell, bell, bell—"

Shan County Youpeng's body shook suddenly, his body flashed, and he hit the door frame heavily.

"It's a telegram!"

"Commander!"

In the telegraph room, there was an exclamation.

Yabuki Shuichi's face suddenly turned pale, and he almost didn't believe his ears.

"Hiroshima Base Camp, Emperor's Edict: General Yama Prefecture, British Ambassador to the Empire Chu Enchi, to send the conditions of the Imperial Armistice to the Great Qing Dynasty Dongjiaomin Lane. If the Qing Dynasty agreed, the empire would gain vast wealth and vast land and sea territory; For the sake of the empire, there is no need to strictly control the army, and it is not allowed to give the Qing Dynasty a truth. Wanji! ”

"Bang dang!"

Youpeng of Shanxian angrily slammed the teapot on the table to the ground, and shouted: "If you don't fight the Qing Dynasty, how can the cunning and shameless Qing Dynasty be as the empire wants?" Hirobumi Ito, this old dog, stupid, bastard, idiot! ”

Yama County Youpeng turned his head and stared at the dumbfounded, trembling Yabuki Xiu and roared: "Yaga! What are you doing here! Don't know what to do now? ”

"Hey!"

Yabuki Shuyi yelled with red eyes and rushed out desperately.

It didn't take long for Yabuki Shuichi to bring back the news with a frightened face that the guard post of the Jiujiang River telegraph line had been attacked, and all five soldiers had been killed.

After Yama Aritomo called Yabuki Hideichi into his office alone, Yabuki Hideichi trembled his lips and said a piece of news that shocked Yamaguchi Aritomo.

The telegraph line was artificially cut at the lower end of the pole and then artificially connected again.

"Yaga! Could it be that the ghost picked it up? ”

Youpeng in Shanxian was shocked and angry: "Or maybe the reinforcement army went crazy and took ——,, I understand!" These cunning pigs! Yaga! Bastard! ”

At this moment, there was a friend in Shanxian who was so humiliated that his face was bloody, and he swayed all over: "I must destroy this group of bastards!" ”

At noon on the same day, the furious Yama Prefecture Youpeng held an emergency combat meeting.

The 3rd Division was ordered to dispatch two infantry brigades, the 5th Division to dispatch one infantry brigade, and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, totaling more than 3,300 troops.

With the infantry staff officer of the military headquarters, Fukushima Yasumasa Nakasa, as the commander of the detachment, gradually divided and searched the mountains and rivers near the Guanwai, found the independent battalion of the anti-Japanese army, and annihilated it.

"Commander, according to the map, the Great Wall at the Nine Gates in the upper reaches of the Jiujiang River is the only entry point within hundreds of miles nearby."

The promotion from the Ninth Brigade was promoted to Sachooka Gaishi, and he mustered up the courage to say: "Now that Shanhaiguan has been completely blocked by the imperial army, the water is not splashed, and the Horn Mountain and Fushou Mountain are all steep and snow-covered mountains; The only communication point between the Qing army and the Guannai is the Great Wall at the Nine Gates. ”

The eyes of all the generals in the house lit up, especially the nervous Fukushima Yasuma, who looked at Nagaoka Gaishi and asked, "What does Nagaoka-kun mean is that this Qing army is hiding on both sides of the Jiujiang River?" ”

With this inference, the area of investigation will be much reduced in the search below.

"It's more than that—"

Nagaoka hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Now the base camp asks to suspend the attack on Shanhaiguan, but the situation between the empire and the Qing Dynasty is obviously placed here; It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to agree to the conditions of the empire, and the next step for the empire is destined to carry out an entry battle; - Unless Lushun falls, Weihaiwei falls, and the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty is completely annihilated, the First Army will not have the opportunity to carry out the next decisive battle of Zhili. ”

"Well said!"

Youpeng in Shan County took the lead in applauding.

Immediately, there was applause in the war room.

Nagaoka was so excited by this applause that his face was flushed and he was short of breath; When the applause stopped, he suppressed the tremor in his heart and strode to the topographic map of Shanhaiguan hanging on the wall.

Holding a branch in his hand, he pointed to the Great Wall of the Nine Gates, which was hidden in the mountains more than 40 miles north of Shanhaiguan and said: "Although this battalion outside the Guanguan to aid the Korean army is tiresome, it will not affect the overall situation at all; In my opinion, what the empire needs to do now is to take the Great Wall at the Nine Gates and make adequate preparations for the future Battle of Shanhaiguan. ”

There was a sudden silence in the war room.

This proposal is contrary to the temporary truce of the base camp.

However, the order issued by General Shan County just now to attack the Qing army in this battalion outside the gate also seems to be contrary to the order of the base camp.

- and yet very understandable.

Because this is a blow to the Qing army outside the Guan, and it belongs to a legitimate counterattack after being attacked by the Qing army!

"Since the commander has decided to use troops to annihilate the Qing army outside the pass, then fighting this battalion of Qing troops should be the same problem as fighting the nine gates that belong outside the pass and are far away from the Shanhaiguan; Moreover, two things actually count as one thing. ”

After Nagaoka Gaishi finished his proposal, he closed his mouth and stood aside, waiting for Yama Prefecture Aritomo's final decision.

"You can fight! This is self-defense. ”

Seeing that there were friends in Shan County, Xiaochuan nodded again without hesitation to express his opinion.

"It can be captured, the nine gates do not belong to Shanhaiguan, and they are outside the customs."

Tamura Jardine is also rare not to object, and definitely supportive.

"Hit, Commander!"

Michikani Nozu, Katsura Taro, Sutomi Yamaguchi, Natoshi Osako, Hisunao Oshima, Hisataka Kuroda, Major General Shiotani Katatsu ,——

Including the Lijian Shangwen who is very bad with Yama County.

Prince Jaehito of the Imperial Family.

Shotaro Komura, the field administrator, Naoyuki Yoshizawa, the minister of supervision, and Shoji Yoshida, the second-class superintendent.

They all looked at Youpeng in Shan County with a warlike face.

"Haha-"

Youpeng suddenly burst out laughing.
