The air temperature in the air seems to freeze instantaneously. The people around Liu Jun all looked at Liu who was standing in front of him strangely, and then looked at Sakuma Zuo Matthew again, not knowing what he meant.

The words of the King of Liaodong were quite clear, and they all understood them very clearly.

Staring coldly at Sakuma Zuo Matthew in front of him, Liu Jun was expressionless: "What do you mean?" ”

Sakuma Zomattai laughed, and then said, "It's ridiculous, what is the use of a person who has no political acumen, just a military wizard." ”

"you paralyzed, don't talk about pulling down. Lao Tzu was too lazy to listen. Liu Jun said coldly.

Sakuma left the horse and said indifferently: "You have a heavy army, and the entire Liaodong area has fallen into your hands." Say that you have become a veritable king of Liaodong. I know your court too well, and you think that your court can still let you live in the world with peace of mind. ”

Looking at Liu Jun in front of him, Sakuma Zuo Matthew said again: "A Han man with a heavy army, how long can you go." I think you might as well join our empire, and I'm sure our emperor will." Sakuma Zuo Matthew said this, and began to persuade Liu Jun to surrender.

"Shut up." Liu Jun shouted angrily, and then said unceremoniously: "How far can Lao Tzu go, it's about your paralyzing, to put it bluntly, this is Lao Tzu's family affair, and you have a woolen relationship with an outsider." You'd better think more about how I'm going to treat you. "You are waiting for Xiaoxiao, Yelang is arrogant, a small island country, a place with a big palm, and the ambition of a wolf is a vain attempt to invade our China, don't think that you Ito Hiroshi formulated the Qing Dynasty battle outline a few years ago, Lao Tzu is afraid of you.

Hmph, Liu Jun snorted coldly, and said lightly: "First occupy North Korea, then occupy the Northeast, then Mongolia, and then in my Huaxia Pass." Appetite is so big. ”

"You. . . You. How do you know this, these are the secrets of our country, where did you know that. Sakuma's heart was filled with surprise and fear.

These documents have always been the top secret of their country.

Ignore Sakuma's questioning. Liu Jun smiled coldly: "I also know that before you start the war, you have two sets of plans, once the war with us fails, the navy retreats to Nagasaki, and the army withdraws to the Japanese army, preparing for the defense of the homeland, and the second set of plans is that once you win, you will drive straight in." ”

"It's horrible, you're just horrible. I lose in your hands, no regrets, Great Japan," Sakuma Zomathew said here, closing his eyes, he has seen the future, Japan, although it will be a temporary victory, but in the end, it will be destroyed in the hands of this person.

Pulling out the command knife in his hand, Sakuma Zuo Matthew shouted, he was going to duel with Liu Jun.

There was a bang. Loud in the sky.

With a clang, the saber fell to the ground. Liu Jun looked at the slowly falling Sakuma Zuo Matthew, and very arrogantly blew the smoke from the barrel of the gun in his hand that had not completely dissipated: "****, Lao Tzu has a gun and still plays this with you." ”

Turning back coldly, Liu Jun walked out of the courtyard and looked at Sakuma Zuo Matthew who was still lying there, Liu Jun looked up at the sky, and said to Li Rong next to him: "If the Japanese surrender, let them live." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the street where the child was burning, accompanied by Zhong Lin.

As soon as he walked a short distance, Liu Jun heard fierce gunfire from the county office, and the remaining Japanese troops did not surrender, but chose to fight.

The result was obvious, more than 200 Japanese troops were beaten into a honeycomb by thousands of Qing troops in less than ten minutes.

Liu Jun, who was walking on the street, was not shaken by the screams coming from the county office, and what he was thinking about now was a few words that Sakuma Zuo Matthew said.

Sakuma Zuo Matthew is right, he has an army of 100,000 and is in charge of Liaodong, except that he has not been knighted, there is really no difference from a web page.

However, the imperial court will definitely not let itself go, there is nothing now, but in the future, who will guarantee what the imperial court will treat itself and even Liaodong with what.

Dandong finally returned to the hands of the Qing army, annihilated 4,300 Japanese troops, captured 2,000 people, and the 9th Brigade of the 1st Army of the 2nd Army of the Japanese Army crossed the Yalu River on February 23 and retreated to Korea.

On the 24th of February, Dandong, which had already ended two days of fighting, had already taken on a new look, and the people were crowded on the streets, cheering incessantly.

The energetic soldiers, with their rifles on their shoulders, marched neatly to the cheers of the people, and were marching neatly into the city.

Liu Jun rode on the horse, with a smile on his face, and kept waving to the people.

Yesterday day, he locked himself in a room, carefully considering the road ahead.

Now, the entire Liaodong is already in his own hands, and it is already a fact that he has become the king of Liaodong. If you want not to be eaten by the imperial court, there is only one way, to increase your strength to the point where the imperial court is jealous, and the easiest way is to expand the army again.

After thinking about everything, Liu Jun's heart suddenly brightened, and his heart was full of confidence.

When he came to the county office that had been swept aside, Liu Jun sat on a chair, took the tea handed over by Li Rong, and Liu Jun took a sip. Then he looked at Li Rong: "I'll hand over Dandong to you." ”

Li Rong puffed up his chest: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will definitely guard this place well and prevent the Japanese army from stepping into Dandong City." ”

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Shoushan, who was pursuing yesterday, had returned, and in accordance with Liu Jun's order, Shoushan commanded the cavalry to pursue all the way and caught up with the Japanese army ten miles away.

Seeing that the Qing army's pursuit was too urgent, Nogi Nishinori had to order the cavalry to stay behind to block the Qing army, while he led the main force of the Japanese army, threw down all important equipment, advanced lightly, and headed for the Yalu River.

It took two hours to solve the cavalry blockade, and when Shoushan arrived at the Yalu River, most of the Japanese troops had already crossed over, and the angry Shoushan came down to attack the cavalry, blocking more than 1,000 Japanese troops who had not crossed the river at the river. And began to attack.

The Japanese army had no hope of escaping, and only put up a little resistance, then disarmed and surrendered, and when Shoushan was cleaning up the battlefield, he ordered the troops to be stationed and sent someone to send information.

Standing up, Liu Jun came to the map: "The Japanese army has now retreated to Korea, but in Liaoyang, there are still the first division and the fifteenth division, if your second army is flanked, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”

Li Rong lowered his head, he knew that what Liu Jun said was the truth.

Hehe smiled, Liu Jun patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, in view of this situation, I have asked Dalian to draw 10,000 horses to recruit new soldiers locally in Rang Shoushan and form the Fourth Army, with Shoushan as the commander, you two armies, I believe that it will not be a problem to hold Dandong for the time being."

The two were talking there, Zhong Lin hurriedly walked in, and his brother Liu Jun sent a telegram: "Head Lushun emergency telegram." ”

As soon as he heard that it was an urgent telegram, Liu Jun hurriedly took it, but after just a glance, Liu Jun held the telegram in his hand, and after a while, he spit out two words: "Prepare the horse, go back to Lushun." ”

The telegram was sent jointly by Li He and Wu Datong, and the telegram was very simple. The Japanese land troops captured the Weihai Fort, and now the Beiyang Naval Division in Weihai is caught in the Japanese attack on both the sea and land.

On the third day after Liu Jun left Lushun, the main force of the Japanese army broke through the blocking line of the Qing army and approached the Weihai Motianling Fort.

Seeing the Japanese approaching, the defenders of the fort fled in a hurry, and the Japanese occupied the fort in the afternoon of the same day.

Li Hongzhang finally did not take Liu Jun's suggestion to blow up the Weihai Fort, which made the Japanese army like a tiger, turned the artillery of the fort, aimed at the Weihai port, and together with the Japanese navy, began to bombard the sailors in the port.

Although Ding Ruchang also sent troops to recapture the fort, the enemy was outnumbered, and the Qing army did not attack the fort after losing a few hundred men. Rather, in the harbor, shelling the batteries with naval guns.

Liu Jun is very angry in his heart now, if Li Hongzhang can kill Ma Jian with tears, the Beiyang Naval Division will not end up in such a field now. Let the family block the port and beat it hard.

Li He and Wu Datong's telegram was to ask Liu Jun to return to Lushun as soon as possible, after all, there were some problems that they could not decide.

Now complaining about Li Hongzhang, and even Ding Ruchang can't make up for everything. However, fortunately, the Dandong war has ended, and Li Rong and Shoushan are fully able to deal with the rest. I can also leave with peace of mind and deal with the problems of Weihai.

The situation was urgent, Liu Jun immediately called Shoushan, and after giving the order for him to form the Fourth Army, that afternoon, he and Zhong Lin still had twenty guards, taking advantage of the afternoon sunshine to smell the smoke that had not completely disappeared. rode out of Dandong, which had been bombed by artillery fire, and rushed to Lushun under the stars.

After a four-day journey, Liu Jun rushed back to Lushun in three and a half days.

When I returned to Lushun, it was just dawn, and the people of Lushun had just gotten up and were fiddling with their stalls.

Smelling the clear sound of horses' hooves, the people who received it all watched, they didn't know who would be so fast at such an early day.

In the eyes of the people, it was a man in a gray military uniform and a black cloak. Although Liu Jun did not ride a white horse today, the people still recognized him and greeted Liu Jun happily.

Although Liu Jun was in a hurry, in the face of the friendliness of the people, he also had to let the horses stop, greet the people cordially, and then speed up again and rush to the headquarters.
