Pan Xiaosu in front of the map now has a trace of fear in his heart, now, the northeast of Xinjiang has been entered by a corps of the Liaodong Army, and in the north, although General Yili, who surrendered to Liaodong, has not sent troops so far, but according to intelligence, Chang Gung's three cavalry battalions and five infantry battalions are concentrated on the border, and they may enter Xinjiang at any time.

To the east, Lanzhou has been occupied, that is to say, now, the place where he can get in touch with the imperial court is only Qinghai, and if the Liaodong Army enters Qinghai at that time, then Xinjiang will be completely dead.

Hey, a sigh rang out in the study. Pan Xiaosu, who was standing in front of the map, trembled his hands, picked up a brush from the table next to him, and began to draw on the map.

"Uncle, what are you?" Pan Wenlin walked behind Pan Xiaosu and saw Pan Xiaosu raising the pen in his hand and drawing a thin line on it.

Bang, throwing the brush in his hand on the table, Pan Xiaosu glanced at his nephew standing in front of him: "Just in case." ”

In case of retreat, although Pan Wenlin is not in the army, it does not mean that he can't read the map, listening to Pan Xiaosu, Pan Wenlin carefully looked at the thin line, only to see that this thin line went out of Urumqi and then through some prefectures and counties, straight into Qinghai.

Is Uncle going to retreat? Pan Wenlin narrowed his eyes, no matter how he looked, this route was always a retreat route.

I wanted to ask again, but when he saw that his uncle had closed his eyes, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart, turn around and walk out.

Lanzhou City, the smoke has dissipated, Lanzhou after a few days of gunfire, once again restored calm, on the street, out to hide from the war of the people, after hearing the sound of gunfire in Lanzhou City, began to slowly return to the city from the mountain.

After a few days of not seeing, Lanzhou has changed hands, and the Qing army that used to wear a big hat and a long braid dragged behind its head is gone, replaced by a soldier of the Liaodong Army who has been wearing a gray military uniform and a black steel helmet on his head.

The soldiers of the Liaodong Army were strictly disciplined, and the people of Lanzhou City had long heard of it, so the surrounding people did not show fear of the Liaodong Army who patrolled the streets with guns on their backs from time to time. On the contrary, there is some homage.

Gansu Governor Yamen. It has temporarily become the headquarters of the Westward Advance Corps.

The tiger under the large plaque that used to be fair and honest has now been replaced by a map of the northwest with huge clothes. In the hall, several tables are spliced together and covered with green cloth. On top of the green cloth, a map was being laid on it, and the staff officers around him were constantly picking up the pen and paper in their hands to draw on it.

In the study, the surrounding books are all on the shelves, and the only thing that has changed is that Wu Peifu has added a few maps to it.

Huhu, gently blew the teacup of tea in his hand, took a sip and put it next to him, Wu Peifu raised the pen in his hand again, drew the map for a while, and then threw it on the table, took a step back and sat on the chair.

"How about it, let's go straight out of Lanzhou and go straight into Xinjiang, you see." After taking a break, Wu Peifu pointed to the map on his desk and asked about Yiktanga and Luo Dacheng who were sitting next to him.

The two took a closer look, and on this map, it was still the corps led by Zhang Yi, converging in Hami, and then merging in one place, entering Turpan, and then marching into Urumqi from the Turpan area.

"I don't have any opinions." Luo Dacheng took the lead in shaking his head and said quietly.

Nodding slightly, Wu Peifu shifted his gaze to Iktanga.

"I think it's better to divide the troops in one place, whether you can divide the troops in the Dunhuang area and enter Qinghai at any time, after all, once Xinjiang is surprised, there is only one place for the defeated troops in Xinjiang to retreat, and that is Qinghai."

Speaking of reason, Wu Peifu frowned, he really didn't think of this, but comprehensively thought about how to quickly take Xinjiang. Complete the Northwest Campaign Plan explained by Liu Jun.

"In that case, let the 22nd Army go to Dunhuang. What do you think of the Aksai movement and the move to march into Qinghai to add some tension to Pan Xiaosu in Xinjiang? Wu Peifu, who had been pondering for a long time, made another suggestion and looked at the two of them.

The two did not object, Luo Dacheng touched his forehead.

"I think you can also add a mountain cavalry division, after all, this is the world of cavalry." Luo Dacheng pointed to Dunhuang and then raised his head and said.

"Well, so it was decided that the armies would immediately replenish their ammunition and set off in two days." Seeing that there was no opposition, Wu Peifu stood up suddenly and began to slowly issue orders.

"Understood." Everyone snapped and straightened their waists.

With a bang, Liu Jun's office of the Lushun Headquarters was pushed by a force of gravity, and then it was slammed shut, and Liu Jun, who was wearing the uniform of the summer marshal, took the lead in walking to the war room, and at the same time, he turned around and asked Zhong Lin, who was following him: "When did it happen?" ”

"Last night, the Japanese army concentrated the strength of three divisions and regiments to launch a general attack on the besieged Russian army, and now, the Russian army that broke through is retreating in the direction of Boli, but the Japanese army still does not let go, and the forward is less than fifty kilometers away from Boli.

It's arrogant, it's too arrogant, how do you fight Russia, it doesn't matter, but at this critical moment, the Japanese army is fighting close to my northeast, which makes Liu Jun feel a little uncomfortable.

Boli and Heilongjiang, just the distance of the other river, once the Japanese army captures Boli, where is the time, once the war with the Japanese army starts, if the Japanese army crosses the river and enters Heilongjiang, then it will be regarded as a matter of seeking skin with the tiger.

Syllable. The people who were busy saw Liu Jun walk in, put down everything in their hands, and waited for Liu Jun's order.

"Busy with you." Throwing down this sentence, Liu Jun walked into the study first, picked up a map from the side and spread it on the ground, and the two squatted on the ground and began to study.

"Okay, the Japanese are playing yin with Lao Tzu, looking at their posture, they are going to hold Boli in their hands." After carefully looking at Zhong Lin's intelligence and the information sent by Duan Qirui, he saw that the two divisions of the Japanese army pursued the Russian army with less than 5,000 troops, which clearly showed that the drunkard did not mean to drink. It is false that he defeated his own army, and it is true to take the opportunity to take Boli.

"Head, what should I do, we have signed an agreement with the Japanese army, there will be no war for three months, if the Japanese army occupies Boli, then we will have an extra knife behind us in the future. It's going to be bad for us. Zhong Lin pointed at Bo Li and said a little nervously.

Zhong Lin said the truth to death, and Liu Jun did not object to this. Boli could be occupied by Tsarist Russia, but it just couldn't be given to Japan.

"Head, what should I do?" Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun didn't speak, so he stepped forward and asked. "Let Wu Tingfang come to see me."
