On the outskirts of Pyongyang, it looks very simple, and you can feel the cold wind when you sit in it and raise a charcoal fire. Several high-ranking officials of the Lushun Army who participated in the siege of Pyongyang sat next to the charcoal fire. With a gloomy expression, he looked at the fiery charcoal fire in a daze.

Liu Jun, who was sitting at the top, looked at the gloomy faces and depressed expressions of everyone, and understood in his heart that these people were quite dissatisfied with the signing of the treaty by the imperial court. There was a hint of warmth in his heart, and this was what he wanted.

The more dissatisfied these people were with the affairs of the imperial court, the more chance he had to catch these few people who could still be relatively independent in the Liaodong region.

Zhong Lin, Li Rong, and Ran Xu needless to say, that is his own iron, and at the same time believes that no matter what he decides, several people will agree, and now he is worried about the opinions of Ding Ruchang and Shoushan, after all, these two people have not been with him for a long time, if he decides that these two people will not accept it. Then, they can only be asked to hand over their military power.

Seeing everyone raise their heads, Liu Jun stood up with a heavy expression, picked up the crumpled telegram from the side of the bench that had been crumpled and then picked up again, and threw away the tattered table with only three legs.

There is no way, North Korea is poor, just this thing, Zhong Lin took a lot of effort to find it from elsewhere to serve as a temporary conference table. In order to fix, the side without feet is fixed with stones.

"I have a telegram from Lord Yang Shixiang here, you can take a look." After speaking, he handed the telegram to Zhong Lin, who was sitting next to him.

Zhong Lin knew the situation, so he didn't read it at all, but handed it directly to Li Rong, and after Li Rong read it, he handed the telegram to Ding Ruchang again.

Seeing Ding Ruchang reading the newspaper, Liu Jun said with some excitement: "I have nothing for the imperial court to surrender, and I have nothing for us to withdraw to the west bank of Yalu, this is a major event for the imperial court after all, we can only obey orders as courtiers, and the imperial court gave the loyal Korea to Japan, we understand, let us withdraw, we understand." But" Liu Jun said here while raising his voice and began to observe Ding Ruchang's expression: "Damn, the imperial court gave up Taiwan and ceded Taiwan to Japan in order not to dig up his family's ancestral grave, which I can't accept, and I can't accept it even more if Weihai is given to Taiwan, that is the territory of our Beiyang Naval Division, which is an important base for the old man to operate for many years, and the station is Beijing, deterring foreign countries. This is simply a slap in the face of our Beiyang people. ”

Seeing that Ding Ruchang was a little shocked, Liu Jun smiled slightly, began to drink water and waited for everyone to see the information.

He knew that Ding Ruchang was Li Hongzhang's descendant, and he would not listen to him if he was corrupted by the imperial court, but as long as Li Hongzhang was in trouble, Liu Jun estimated that Ding Ruchang would agree to his decision at that time.

The telegram went in a circle. It was placed on the table again. Liu Jun put away the telegram: "Now we have two ways, one is to withdraw our troops, and the other is that when this thing has not happened, we will still fight Pyongyang." But the consequences of the two paths, we should know, one of us stealing a living, the people scold, and the other we are expected to be crusaded by the court, but we will receive the support of the people. "I looked at the people who were thinking" "I want to know what you think now, let's talk about it." ”

"Head, hit, what the hell is the bird court." Zhong Lin threw the gun in his somewhat dissatisfied helper on the table.

"Dashuai, from a small soldier to more than 20,000 people today, you have cultivated it single-handedly, I listen to you, what you say, I will do it." Li Rong's answer was clear.

"Dashuai"

"Dashuai"

Except for Ding Ruchang, all the people present gave a very clear answer, and I will do what you say. In particular, Liu Jundu's Shoushan, who was a little unsure, said more explicitly: "I am a banner person, but I am a Chinese citizen." Lao Tzu is talking about this today, what the emperor and Lafayette did this time is something that he is not doing. ”

Seeing that Ding Ruchang was still there and wondering, Shoushan was short-tempered, so he stood up suddenly: "Ding Ruchang, what the hell do you mean." Lao Tzu is a banner man who is not afraid of offending the court, you are afraid of a bird. What do you think if you give me a happy word? ”

Ding Ruchang didn't speak, but looked at Liu Jun, who was also looking at him: after straightening his military uniform, Ding Ruchang said: "After I, Ding Ruchang, came to Lushun and saw everyone's military uniforms, I knew that one day we would be opposed to the imperial court because of certain things, but I still wore this dress. Although I am a naval admiral, I am still the commander of the cavalry, I am still Chinese, and I am Han. ”

Phew, Liu Jun took a long breath, he heard it, Ding Ruchang's meaning, he was going to fall out anyway, when was it not the same.

"Okay, he deserves to be the Admiral of the Navy, Lao Tzu likes it." Shoushan slapped his thigh, gave a thumbs up, and then looked at Zhong Lin, who was sitting on it: "Dashuai, what do you say?" “

Liu Jun didn't speak, but looked at the fiery eyes of everyone and the dead branches blown up by the wind outside, stood up and retreated the door, and after a while, he turned his head: "Lao Tzu will not let my brothers' blood white willows, and I haven't heard anything about the signing of a treaty between the imperial court and Japan." ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't receive or hear anybody." Ding Ruchang was really powerful, and he heard the sound outside the strings.

I haven't received any sign of a contract between the imperial court and Japan, which means that even if I take Pyongyang, I will not admit it at that time.

I saw the people who were still stunned. Ding Ruchang glared: "Any of you have heard that the imperial court and Japan have signed a traitorous treaty, rumors, how could the emperor and the emperor make such a holy decree." ”

"Yes, yes, that's a rumor." Zhong Lin jumped up and raised the gun in his hand: "Whoever the hell is spreading rumors, Lao Tzu wants to shoot him." ”

Since this is the case, then nothing has happened to Quandang. As soon as everyone returned to their respective headquarters after the meeting, they began to prepare for the attack on Pyongyang again, and as for what treaty stipulated that the Qing army should withdraw to the west bank of the Yalu River, they would all go to hell.

A day after the armistice, the confused troops once again burst out with wolf-like blood, and began to sharpen their guns again.

Liu Jun decided to let the troops rest for half a day and launch another attack at four o'clock in the afternoon.

It was already half past three, and Liu Jun looked at the pocket watch in his pocket. He began to grab his cloak from the wooden wall, and he was going to the front himself.

Before he walked out of the door, Zhong Lin's voice rang out: "Head, what the hell is not good, what kind of Ono came from the Japanese, saying that they were negotiating with us?" ”

"What are you running, Lao Tzu is here, Liu Jun saw Zhong Lin scurrying around in the yard looking for himself, and walked out of the door.

Brought to Zhong Lin and ran to him, Liu Jun asked suspiciously, "Japanese? Negotiation? ”

"Well, he said he came to us on behalf of their commander."

"Withdraw the wool and beat him out to Lao Tzu." As soon as Liu Jun heard that he was here to discuss and negotiate, he was angry.

"Okay, we'll go right away." Zhong Lin turned his head and prepared to leave.

Negotiations, can it be said that the Japanese already knew that the signing of the treaty could not be done? Liu Jun thought of this and looked at Zhong Lin, who was running: "Come back, something's wrong." ”

"Head, what do you want to do?" Zhong Lin ran back suspiciously.

"Don't do it, there's a Jiang Gan, Lao Tzu has to make good use of it."

"Come here," Liu Jun motioned for Zhong Lin to come closer, then lowered his head and began to whisper to Zhong Lin. ”

"Hehe, head, you're simply a master, I can't learn this yin damage in a hundred years." Zhong Lin kept praising after listening to the plan.

"Nonsense, why don't you look at who I am." Hearing such a compliment, Liu Jun was a little fluttering, and when he saw Zhong Lin still standing there, Liu Jun pulled down his face: "Don't go quickly." ”

At the command post of the Second Army, Li Rong pulled the herald in surprise: "What are you talking about, withdraw the troops, it was his order." ”

"The order given by the marshal is that not only our Second Army, but also all the troops must immediately return to pack up and then withdraw the troops."

"The order of the marshal." I heard that it was Liu Jun's order. Li Rong's eyes of biting and eating people suddenly dimmed, and he motioned for the herald to go out.

He couldn't figure out why he had to withdraw his troops suddenly.

Sighing, he decided to ask Liu Jun in person. The order to retreat was given, and Li Rong put on his hat. Then, under the escort of the guards, he began to walk towards the headquarters on the side of the road at the foot of the mountain.

It wasn't just him who couldn't figure it out, but Shoushan, Ran Xu, Ding Ruchang and others couldn't figure it out, and they all started to run towards the headquarters at the same time as they were ordered to withdraw from their positions.

Before Li Rong stepped into the door again, he heard Shoushan's loud voice go crazy.

"The surname Zhong, what the hell is it that you faked the order of the marshal. Let the old men withdraw. ”

"Wronged, my wrong, it's the order that the marshal asked me to make."

"Fart, the marshal said at the meeting that he was going to fight, how could he suddenly change his mind, did you the fuck take money from the Japanese?"

Hearing this growing noise, Li Rong was worried that the two would fight, so he hurriedly rushed in and stopped the two who were arguing red-faced.

"What's the matter, it's all your own brother." Li Rong became a collaborator.

Hmph, Shoushan snorted coldly and ignored Li Rong.

The whole venue began to fall silent.

With a creak, the rags opened. Liu Jun had already heard the noise outside. It's just that just now he was thinking about how to do it perfectly, so he didn't come out, and now that things have been thought through, he will definitely explain this matter himself.

"I asked the troops to be withdrawn."
