"The report shows that the Sheng army fled towards the lower reaches of the Tuniu River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xu Wei, the leader of the reconnaissance squad of the third battalion, hurriedly ran over and reported loudly.

"Continue to scout closely and keep abreast of their movements; Tell Liu Kun that the Sheng army must not be allowed to cross the Tuniu River, and drive them to the opposite bank of Gushan Town in the lower reaches of the Dayang River, and their three companies can be regarded as completing the task. ”

Li Zhenhua ordered Xu Wei: "Your reconnaissance squad should contact the regiment headquarters as soon as possible, explain the military situation, and ask for instructions for the next step. ”

"Dao Sheng, why did these Japanese soldiers appear here;"

By the Tuniu River, Sun Xianyin, who was fleeing, looked suspicious: "Why don't they run directly to Anton, what are they hiding in this ditch?" ”

"I guess the Japanese want to block the retreat of our Yalu River army, and plan to annihilate us, it's really ruthless!"

Lu Benyuan said fearfully: "Fortunately, we retreated last night, otherwise we would be turtles in the urn." ”

"So what now?"

Qu Decheng ran over with an angry face, just now he and Wu Ruisheng's infantry team had not yet reached the Tuniu River, but they were scattered by the rout of the Sheng army rushing in front, and at this time he was suffocating his belly.

"Let's go to Lonely Mountain Town first;"

Lu Benyuan said with a solemn face: "Since the Japanese soldiers want to cut off the retreat of Xiuyan, Phoenix, and Kuandian, then Lushun will be safe, let's go to Lushun." ”

At night on October 27th, the Sheng army marched west along the Tuniu River, and then routed along the Dayang River to the south.

"Mother, won't this place be blocked too?"

Lu Benyuan stood on the ballast mountain, looking at the bonfire by the river in the south, and was so shocked that he cried out in distress.

"Military Gate, Military Gate—"

At this time, Lu Jiabao, the sentry commander of Lu Benyuan's personal cavalry team, ran back with a team of cavalry in a loud shout, and his voice was full of surprise: "It's the Korean Army and the Renzi Army!" ”

"Damn, why are these two guys so shrewd that they actually want to go to Lushun?"

Lu Benyuan exclaimed, with a look of admiration.

"General Jiang, General He, why are the two of you here, the Japanese are very difficult to defend, but shouldn't we retreat to Xiuyan?"

Looking at the four or five thousand military horses of the Korean Aid Army and the Renzi Army, Lu Benyuan wanted to go to Xiuyan again.

You must know that this place is only 100 miles away from Xiuyan, less than 250 miles away from Yingkou behind Xiuyan, but it is not less than 400 miles away from Lushun.

And God knows if there is an army of Japanese in Huayuankou and southern Liaoning.

Aren't your reinforcements very capable of fighting?

You, Jiang Zikang, aren't you Song Qing, the old fox's newly appointed deputy to the downstream division?

-- Then opening the passage to Xiuyan is the business of you couple, young and old.

"Listening to General Lu's words, you are going to Xiuyan; But Xiuyan is directly north of this Loess Kan Village, why did General Lu lead the army to the south from the north, your army won't be lost, right? ”

Hearing that Lu Benyuan couldn't speak, He Changying's eyes widened, and he was not polite to him at all.

"General Lu, General Sun, why did you deliberately burn the military equipment and abandon the city last night?"

Ever since Jiang Zikang saw Lu Benyuan and Sun Xianyin, as well as the Sheng Army soldiers running over the mountains and fields with a dog-like face, he was full of anger and asked sharply.

The atmosphere on the riverside suddenly cooled down, and only the cold river wind was whistling on people's faces, which made people feel cold.

"Commander Jiang Yi, you have to have evidence to speak, you can't be red-mouthed and white-toothed, and you can't be a fool of everything, which eye did you see that we burned military funds? Besides, Song Junmen entrusted you to divide the Andong defense line, and now the defense line has collapsed, in this Gushan Town, it is not your turn to teach others a lesson. ”

Sun Xianyin, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but change his face when he heard Jiang Zikang's questioning, and reminded Jiang Zikang that you are a small wing commander, not even a general soldier, and you really treat yourself as a 'brush'.

"You-"

Jiang Zikang was trembling by Sun Xianyin, and he hated others the most about his inability to be the chief soldier.

"We're going to Lushun! What are you going to do? is not to run away and pretend to be a bear, but to fight the Japanese army; ”

He Changying faced the soldiers of the Sheng Army who were constantly coming, and shouted loudly: "You flee in Pyongyang, Anzhou, Andong - if you flee again, you will flee back to Jinmen!" Let the Japanese army burn the flames of war to your doorstep, let the Japanese army humiliate your parents and family, let your neighbors and relatives and friends be ashamed of you deserters, and after the old age that everyone hates, you will not even be able to enter the ancestral grave, and your genealogy will be ashamed to record your name; Let me ask you, you are born to fear death, you are born to be a wreck, a deserter? ”

The Sheng Junjun generals scolded by He Changying's words all changed color, their eyes were full of firelight, and they glared at He Changying through gritted teeth.

Sun Xianyin and Lu Benyuan glanced at He Changying coldly with resentment, didn't even bother to arch their hands, and directly led the troops to stride away.

That night, in the cold night breeze, the Renzi Army and the Sheng Army of the Korean Aid Army stayed in the upper and lower reaches of the east bank of the Dayang River in a clear manner.

The soldiers of the Renzi Army of the Korean Aid Army were well fed, and they sang the military songs of the Korean Aid Army while talking and laughing.

Then he went into the tent and fell asleep.

And the Sheng army upstream, because they were in a hurry, each person only carried three days' military rations, and it was originally expected that it should be more than enough to go to Xiuyan.

As a result, he was raided by the 'Japanese soldiers' at the Tuniu River, leaving behind most of the marching pots, military rations, and marching tents.

And now that we have to change to Jinzhou, we will definitely not be able to go through the four hundred miles in six or seven days, so the little grain left is even more valuable.

Therefore, the Sheng soldiers could only drink gruel, and then huddle around the fire to keep warm.

"The Korean aid army actually put a warning post on us, it's just too deceitful!"

Lu Benyuan and a group of Sheng army generals gathered around the fire and drank hot gruel, and everyone was holding back a fire in their hearts.

"How is our Sheng army fighting in Pyongyang, who dares to say that it is a bad seed! It's not that he Jiang Zikang and Zuo Guigui are not angry, they lost the Peony Terrace, Xuanwu Gate, it is not Ye Zhichao who escaped, can we retreat? ”

Sun Xianyin was almost vomited blood by He Changying's words, and he is still angry and indignant.

"The five-star red flag is flying, and the victory song is so loud. Sing about our dear motherland, and from now on to prosperity and strength. ――”

"Sing and sing!"

Lu Ben's vitality jumped like thunder: "singing mourning!" ”

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Although it was already nightfall, the civil and military generals kneeling in the court hall were all gritting their teeth and dying of hunger.

In the hall, the impeachment origami of Li Hongzhang by the emperor's Qingliu was one after another, and there was a tendency of Mount Tai to the top and never to die.

"Spread the decree, take off Li Hongzhang's yellow coat, pull off Hongzhang's three-eyed dazzle, and let him immediately return to Beijing to ask for guilt; Summoned Liu Kunyi to quickly enter Beijing to meet him. ”

Emperor Guangxu's angry voice was trembling: "Telegram Song Qing, Yulu, if you find the traces of the Sheng army, immediately take down Lu Benyuan and Sun Xianyin, and escort them back to Beijing to ask for the guilt!" ”

Li Hongzhang is finished!

Hearing that Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, was going to enter Beijing to meet him, everyone in the court was shocked.

This and Li Hongzhang, his teacher Zeng Guofan, the two mountains that have shrouded the court for thirty years, finally collapsed today.

Whether it was happy or frustrated, all the ministers were panicked for a while, and there was a sense of top-heavy weightlessness.
