It's already late, the bonfire party is still going on, for this kind of collective activity, Liu Jun will also participate, after all, this is the best opportunity to contact the people and soldiers, sitting on the side, Naxun Ketu looked at the tribe and soldiers by the bonfire holding hands and laughing with a satisfied smile, he finally understood why the Liaodong Army is so powerful, a dignified marshal, can be so close to the soldiers, and treat the soldiers as family, and everyone will work for him.

Originally, he wanted to rebel when he had the opportunity in the future, but looking at Liu Jun, Naxun Ketu interrupted this idea from then on, with Liu Jun and the Liaodong Army here, this matter could not be mentioned.

At night, candlelight flickered in tents made of emergency canvas. The flaming candle illuminated the pool of dark red in the account. Even so. The sight inside the tent is still not very good.

After Liu Jun came back from the bonfire, he asked Zhong Lin to take out the map, spread it on the ground, and then lit candles, and several people crawled on the map at will.

After discussing with Zhong Lin and Zhang Qing. Liu Jun decided that after Li Rong's arrival, after the cavalry had replenished their ammunition and supplies, they would go south with the cavalry of the Tushetu Khan tribe to participate in the siege of the Russian army, while Li Rong's Tenth Army and Iktanga's Eighth Army. The advance will continue, after eliminating any rebels on the way west, and then swing into the northwest. Marching into the Northwest.

And he will lead the cavalry under his command, and after the destruction of the Russian army, he will urgently go north, and then the two armies will besiege Kulen together. Completely extinguish this rebellion in Outer Mongolia.

Everything was ready, and just when it was ready for execution, Zhong Lin raised a very important question, whether the cooperation of the Gansu and Shaanxi armies was needed?

If the Outer Mongolian army can be defeated and retreated, and the Russian army can move south, then the combat effectiveness of these two armies will not be too bad. At least it can reduce the pressure on yourself.

Nodding slightly. "Go and urgently send personnel to Tianjin, tell Li Hongzhang, ask the Shaanxi army to cooperate with him, completely eliminate this foreign military force, so that Russia will not dare to talk about advancing to the northeast and northwest for five years." ”

There was no telegraph here, so Zhong Lin could only urgently send fast horses to Tianjin as fast as possible.

The speed of Li Rong and Iktanga's march was not slow, and after waiting slowly for five days. The two armies, at sunset, finally led more than 40,000 infantry to the Great Tent of Tushetu Khan.

Naxun Qiuketu looked at the neat Liaodong Army, and the dark artillery, that is, the rifles on the shoulders of those soldiers and the Green guns pushed by small carts, suddenly turned white. I thought that the Russian army had strong equipment and fierce firepower, but now it is compared with the Liaodong Army. Then he's more than a notch off.

According to Zhong Lin's introduction, these are only two armies that have just been formed for less than half a year, and this time the commander suppressed the rebellion, and did not dispatch the second corps and the first corps, which have the strongest combat effectiveness.

The more I listened, the more frightened I became. The newly formed troops actually defeated the Chechen Khan in one and themselves in the second, and the completion was so clean. No mud and water. With such troops, Outer Mongolia should not even think about getting rid of independence.

Liu Junzai, who had been waiting for almost five days, did not have any interest in staying in the Tushetu Khan Department. After the cavalry has refilled its ammunition. Liu Jun, Zhang Qing, Zhong Lin, and Naxun Choktu led the First Cavalry Army and the Tushetu Khan Division, with 2,000 cavalry drawn from various places. Assemble a strong cavalry corps and head south. The armies of Li Rong and Iktanga were temporarily combined into a corps, with Iktanga as the principal and Li Rong as the deputy, leading two armies and 3,000 Tushetu Khan's cavalry. Attack to the west.

The Tushetu Khan, which has always been inhabited by a large population, because of this transfer. Suddenly, the rest are just old, weak, sick and disabled.

The city of Tianjin, as the first defense station of Beijing, is also home to legations from all over the country. At present, it can be said that it is only a slightly higher grade than Beijing, and even so, there are cars like dragons, horses like water, and there are stalls and shouting vendors everywhere.

"Disperse, disperse." Urgent military intelligence was delivered to the Governor's Palace. A shout, coupled with the sound of horses' hooves, suddenly made the people walking on the street disperse in an instant.

The soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom, in the eyes of the people, are characters that cannot be provoked, if they are a little slower and are hit or something, they can only be regarded as unlucky.

As soon as Wu Laosan gave way to the corner, he saw three fast horses galloping past.

"Yes, the military master with a big gray cap on his head and no braids on his head is a soldier there, why haven't I seen it."

Wu Laosan looked over, and suddenly found that not far away from him, an enemy with a burden on his back pointed to the cavalry who had just passed with a puzzled expression.

"You don't even know this, it's the soldiers of Liaodong Liu Dashuai. Some time ago, we had thousands of such soldiers in Tianjin, tsk, that scene. All cavalry. A butcher who probably knew something about the Liaodong Army cut off the pig's thigh and began to talk where.

The cavalry of the Liaodong Army passed through Tianjin, and almost everyone in the entire Tianjin City knew about it. Wu Laosan was also growing that day.

The cavalry galloped by, walking for nearly an hour. Moreover, those soldiers, with their sabers hanging from their waists and swarthy rifles on their backs, looked enviable.

Wu Laosan used to be a soldier, and he knew that the gun on his back was a German Mauser rifle. At that time, there were more than 500 people in his battalion, and there were only about a dozen poles, but those Liaodong troops were all equipped. This is the gap, no wonder his battalion always suffered defeats at the beginning, and the Liaodong Army was invincible.

Sigh slightly. Wu Laosan turned around, lifted the vegetable basket, and walked home.

Zhili Governor's Mansion, Li Hongzhang kept walking around the courtyard in a distraught manner. Since Liu Jun sent out the army, he has not received a single telegram. Now he wanted to know where Liu Jun's rabbit cub hit. Can you draw troops to support the Shaanxi Gansu Army?

Just six days ago, I received a message from Shaanxi. Very bad news. The army of Shaanxi and Gansu, which had been advancing by leaps and bounds, suddenly received something to block it after penetrating more than 200 kilometers into Outer Mongolia, and not only did the attack receive setbacks, but they were also beaten by the opposing troops and retreated one after another; from the time they received the telegram, the troops of Gansu and Shaanxi retreated 100 kilometers one after another, and now they are encamping there to confront the enemy.

From the telegram of Songpan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, it can be seen which cavalry was nearly 20,000 men, and they were wearing the uniforms of the Tushetu Khan tribe.

This made Li Hongzhang feel very puzzled, at the beginning, Liu Jun had already sent a telegram to himself, and he had already said that the Tushetu Khan's troops had advanced eastward, how could there be cavalry from the Tushetu Khan's troops in the south.

Studied but cannot comprehend. He could only ask the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Songpan, to set up camp with his soldiers, refusing to engage the enemy, and just retreating.

"My lord, the messenger sent by Liu Jun from Outer Mongolia has arrived at the Governor's Palace, do you want to meet him?" Yang Shixiang saw Li Hongzhang running around aimlessly, and stepped forward to say the news he had just received.

Coming from Outer Mongolia, Li Hongzhang suddenly stopped, didn't think about it, immediately raised his feet, and walked out.

"What?" Looking at the letter in his hand, Li Hongzhang handed over in surprise. There were two reasons why he was surprised. First, Liu Jun's army, in just over half a month, has already pacified two of the four major tribes. You know, these two tribes together have nearly 40,000 people. I eat it in half a month. It's terrifying.

In fact, it can't be counted like this, although the Outer Mongolian army has more than 40,000 people, but almost all of them are equipped with broadswords and spears, and in the face of the Liaodong army, which is full of hot weapons, there is no power to fight back at all. It's like a hundred kindergarten kids challenging a person in their twenties, and they can only fail without suspense.

There is a more important reason, that is, he finally understood why the Shaanxi Gansu Army, which had been fighting very smoothly, suddenly saw that it was like crashing into an iron wall, and it turned out that it had encountered a Russian army disguised as the Tushetu Khan tribe. And 10,000 cavalry.

"The marshal also said, please tell the Gansu Shaanxi Army, let it cooperate, assist him, encircle and annihilate this Russian army that dares to offend the **** family affairs, and ask Zhongtang to eat the Russian army as if nothing happened."

Hiss...... Li Hongzhang looked at the soldier who came to deliver the letter. What a shrewd person he was, how could he not see what Liu Jun meant.

Liu Jun is going to keep quiet and make Russia suffer a dumb loss.
