Looking at the map, after looking at Zheng Yiqian, who was closely following him, Liu Jun, who had been thinking for a long time, finally said the time to do it to the imperial court, that is, September 10th.

On the 10th, today is the 5th, there are only 5 days, five days, these five days, you can only wait with peace of mind.

Beijing Summer Palace, Cixi's dormitory. Now Cixi doesn't have the same excitement as she did more than a month ago. Now he is lying on the chair with a sad face, waiting for Zhang Zhidong.

At the beginning, after getting Rong Lu's proposal, he was overjoyed. She finally found a way to deal with Liu Jun, but who would have thought of it. Less than five days after Rong Lu went out, he was assassinated in Heilongjiang.

After receiving this information at that time, she was still shocked in her heart, and thought that Liu Jun knew her plan, but so long after Rong Lu's death, she didn't get any news, which made Cixi breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to send someone into Vladivostok again.

However, his own people have not yet been sent, and Zhang Zhidong, the Minister of Military Aircraft, actually sent an urgent information from Changping Tieliang, that is, in recent times, the Liaodong Army stationed in Shanhaiguan has actually doubled, and it seems that something big has happened, not only where Tieliang is, but even where the Prince of Horqin in Inner Mongolia is, and at the same time sent information, saying that the Liaodong Army stationed on the border of Outer Mongolia has also been frequently mobilized recently.

Not to mention the frequent movement of troops, and there are still so many places, Cixi has an ominous premonition in her heart, as for what it is, she can't tell, anyway, in the past few days, she has been extremely depressed.

I couldn't bear it anymore today, so I specially found Zhang Zhidong to chat for a while, in fact, the chat was fake, what she really wanted to know was how Zhang Zhidong thought of Liu Jun's troop deployment in Liaodong.

"Lafayette, Zhang Zhongtang has arrived." Li Lianying walked in and whispered to Cixi, who was lying on the chair with her eyes closed.

Cixi opened her eyes, nodded faintly, and then sat upright in her chair and waited for Zhang Zhidong.

After the ceremony, I saw Zhang Zhidong's gray hair. Cixi deliberately asked the palace maid to bring a chair and let Zhang Zhidong sit down and reply.

There was no superfluous nonsense, and when she saw that Zhang Zhidong had done it, Cixi directly asked the question in her heart.

Zhang Zhidong has actually been thinking about this issue in the past few days. After all, the intelligence of Liaodong will be the first to be sent to the military aircraft.

Originally, he also thought that Liu Jun would attack the imperial court, after all, the transfer of troops was too frequent, but now he really didn't know how to judge it, because since five days ago, the Liaodong Army has stopped moving again, and no information on the movement of troops has come, but on the Korean side, Ding Ruchang and the Japanese are doing a hot job.

According to North Korean spy reports. Ding Ruchang's troops and Japan entered a stage of stalemate, and both sides were sabre-rattling, and at the same time, he also received news that the military trains in Liaodong had gone to Korea several times more times in the past few days.

Thinking slightly, Zhang Zhidong looked at Cixi's expectant eyes. Stood up.

"Lafayette, Weichen thinks that Liu Jun will not fight against the imperial court."

As soon as Cixi heard this, she immediately moved her fingers, and her face showed a happy look, she really wanted to hear Zhang Zhidong's analysis.

"Lafayette, according to intelligence, North Korea and Japan have now entered the stage of confrontation, and the originally mobilized forces have begun to be transferred to North Korea."

That's good, that's good, Cixi nodded slightly, she is not stupid, she also knows a little military knowledge, in a strong country, no matter how powerful, she doesn't dare to fight on two fronts. Otherwise, the cost is unbearable.

Since Liu Jun and Japan are at the moment, then at the moment, anyway, he was deceived by Japan at the beginning, even if the two of them fought upside down, he would not make a move. Only when the two of them were exhausted, he was mobilizing his troops to attack Liu Jun, and then recovering Outer Mongolia in the northeast of Liaodong.

In the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun stared motionlessly at the map around Shanhaiguan.

It has only been two days since he left the battle, and in the past two days, Liu Jun has been paying attention to the news from the imperial court all the time, but the results he got are still so calm, he knows that his plan has succeeded.

"Head, I don't understand, why did you suddenly urgently transfer a division that had already entered the position into North Korea, the North Korean side is very quiet, aren't you doing this too much?" Zhong Lin on the side kept chattering.

A few days ago, Liu Jun suddenly gave Luo Dacheng an order to urgently train the Eighth Army in Xingcheng, and then immediately set out for Korea. This incident made Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian, and even the people who participated in the battle scratch their heads.

Liu Jun turned his head and looked at Zhong Lin. He didn't understand, he used this plan in Pyongyang back then, and Zhong Lin couldn't figure it out.

It is impossible to mobilize troops on the border with such fanfare and not make the imperial court suspicious. And if you want the imperial court to relax its vigilance, you can only attack the east and the west, and transfer part of the troops that have been deployed to Korea to build a city for the imperial court, and now you and Japan are already incompatible.

"Do you really not understand or do you not understand?" Liu Jun reluctantly put down the pen in his hand, looked at Zhong Lin standing in front of him,

"I don't understand." Very straightforward answer.

Forget it, when he met such a master, Liu Jun could only admit defeat, bowed his head slightly and thought about it, Liu Jun raised his head: "Do you remember how we fought Pyongyang in the first place?" ”

Zhong Lin was originally smart, but because during this period of time, as soon as he heard that he was going to go to war with the imperial court, he was busy collecting intelligence, so he suddenly saw that he didn't turn around, and now when he heard Liu Jun say this, he immediately understood.

"Head, you mean that the troops we transferred out were just to attract the attention of the imperial court, and then give them a return pistol just like they did when they fought Nogi Nishinori."

The child can be taught, Liu Jun nodded slightly, acknowledging Zhong Lin's statement. In fact, as early as when the order was given, he had already prepared a passenger train at Dandong Station. After the military train transporting soldiers arrived in Dandong, where would it stop, and then take advantage of the darkness to transfer all the troops that went up to the passenger train and transport them back to the departure point, while the military train did continue to go forward, cross the Yalu River, and then directly enter Pyongyang, so that not only could it be concealed from the imperial court, and the mobilized troops could return to various places, but it would not irritate Japan, such a thing, at most, would only waste a little more time, but it was worth it to be able to reap such a big harvest.

On the night of September 9th, the time was already three o'clock in the morning, but Liu Jun, who was sitting in the headquarters, had not felt any sleep, he knew that not only could he not sleep now, but also the hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters who participated in the battle on the front line could not sleep, because there were still five hours to wait, and the battle against the imperial court would start.

This time, Liu Jun would enter from Shanhaiguan and Outer Mongolia, while a corps of Zhili did not participate in the battle against Beijing, but went south, from Shandong into Anhui. Then it joined forces with the Fifth Corps of the northbound Fujian and occupied the Liangjiang Governor's Territory together.

Therefore, only the Fourth Corps and Wang Shizhen's Sixth Corps of Outer Mongolia participated in the battle against Beijing this time. Two corps, plus two separate divisions, three separate brigades, one cavalry corps. A total of more than 100,000 people took part in the campaign on the Northern Front.

"Go and rest for a while, after all, there are still a few hours before the war starts, and I'll call you then." Seeing Liu Jun still sitting there in a daze, Zheng Yiqian came over, she was really worried about Liu Jun.

"Don't sleep, you go to sleep, my wait, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." Liu Jun smiled slightly and hugged Zheng Yiqian in his arms.

"I can't sleep either," Zheng Yiqian didn't know if it was true or false, but from her eyes, it was obvious that she told Liu Jun, if you don't sleep, I won't sleep either.

Tata Tata Tata Tata time in a little bit of a walk, Arthur Command, Telegraph Office. Everyone was working in an intense and orderly manner, and in the telegraph office, Zhong Lin had already ordered the telegram to be turned on overnight, waiting for the order to be issued at any time.

Time is moving slowly, and the sun is already above the horizon. Liu Jun raised his head and looked at the time, seven thirty-five.

It's time to pass. Thinking of this, Liu Jun woke up Zheng Yiqian, who had already fallen asleep in his arms. After the two of them sorted out their clothes, they took a deep breath and walked towards the telegraph office not far away.

His personal general will give orders to fight against the imperial court
