With an army of 60,000, Li Hongzhang couldn't stand the blow of this number, so he couldn't get angry all of a sudden, so he was transported alive to the chair, with a bang, and his forehead was heavily loaded on the desk.

This made Yang Shixiang lose his sense of proportion, hurriedly asked someone to send Li Hongzhang to the study, urgently called a doctor, and after three or four hours of busy green, Li Hongzhang finally woke up.

As soon as he saw Li Hongzhang wake up, Yang Shixiang's face, which had been crying for several hours, suddenly smiled.

As soon as Li Hongzhang woke up, he saw that there were many maids around, so he pretended to be majestic and waited for these people to go down.

Li Hongzhang couldn't control his emotions, but grabbed Yang Shixiang's hand: "What is the rabbit cub going to do, what is he going to do, 60,000 troops are stationed on the border of eastern Liaodong." ”

Yang Shixiang really didn't know how to answer this. After all, the information he received now only said that most of Liu Jun's Lushun army had already moved to Yingkou, Jinzhou, and Liaoyang.

That's not all, even the Beiyang Naval Division sent two warships, loaded with 5,000 land forces, and after setting off in Lushun, they went to Yingkou,

I looked down and thought about it for a moment. Yang Shixiang said with some confidence: "My lord, Liu Jun shouldn't rebel?" ”

This can't be blamed on Yang Shixiang's lack of confidence, but Yang Shixiang can't understand Liu Jun, he feels that Liu Jun is a fan.

If he is a gentleman, Liu Jun is a villain, and he is a particularly insidious villain.

Dealing with a gentleman, Yang Shixiang dared to guarantee that he was nine out of ten, but he was really not sure about dealing with villains.

It's just that now seeing Li Hongzhang's expectation, Yang Shixiang gritted his teeth and explained according to his own ideas.

That is, Liu Jun should not rebel.

In his opinion, although the Shanhaiguan General sent a report saying that the Lushun Army was concentrating its army in Liaoyang, Yingkou, Jinzhou, this did not mean that Liu Jun was going to rebel.

After all, after Lushunjin entered Liaoyang, Yingkou, Jinzhou, he did not take a step forward at all. Instead, they are stationed on the spot.

After listening to Yang Shixiang's defense, Li Hongzhang's anxious face finally showed a smile. As long as Liu Jun doesn't rebel now, everything else is easy to say.

The mood suddenly brightened up li hongzhang took yang shixiang handed over the bird's nest, ate some of it, and after recovering his strength, he sat down on the bed again, and he figured out why liu jun did this.

After thinking about it, Yang Shixiang and Li Hongzhang both thought of one place, that is, the imperial court.

It is already very clear that Liu Jun beat Qin Cha and was worried about being attacked by the imperial court, so he will inevitably mobilize heavy troops to put heavy troops on the three roads to Lushun, if the imperial court can endure this breath, everyone can discuss, if you can't bear this breath, then the consequences will only be the same. The war broke out, and since then the Qing Dynasty has been in turmoil again, the people have been displaced, and the events of 30 years ago will repeat themselves.

Li Hongzhang experienced the catastrophe of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, although he knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's gang of long hairs were finally extinguished, but how many people died in that war, how many people left their homes, this will always be a mystery.

He didn't want the Great Qing Kingdom to break out in a war. I don't want to see it. He knew in his heart that Liu Jun was not the Hong Xiuquan of the year, and once the imperial court and Liu Jun went to war, it was the imperial court that would be hurt in the end.

The question now is not whether Liu Jun wants to fight, but the imperial court, but whether Lafayette will fight or not. Can you hold back.

Bear it, everything is fine, the two sides are peaceful, I can't help it, I'm sorry, shoot the target, it is estimated that even the throne will be lost.

"Quick, prepare the car, I'm going to Beijing." Li Hongzhang lifted the quilt suddenly. While getting dressed, he urged Yang Shixiang next to him.

"My lord, it's getting late. How about going back tomorrow? Yang Shixiang looked at the dark sky outside and was a little worried about Li Hongzhang's body.

Who knew that Li Hongzhang didn't appreciate it at all, and said seriously: "I can't wait for tomorrow, it's too late to wait." After saying that, he ran out in a panic and began to summon the housekeeper.

He saw that this peace lay in the imperial court, and he had to go to Beijing no matter how he wanted to go to meet Prince Gong, and let him persuade Cixi, otherwise, Beijing would inevitably be detained by the war.

The reason why he didn't dare to enter the palace in person to persuade was because Li Hongzhang was not confused, he knew that now Cixi was angry, and the person who provoked her was Liu Jun, and Liu Jun was pulled up by himself. At this time, when I saw Cixi, I was afraid that my net worth and life would have to be in Beijing.

Beijing City, Prince Gong's Mansion, Yi? was walking back and forth in the study, and he had already received a message from the palace, asking him to attack quickly to discuss matters related to the deployment of troops to encircle and suppress Liu Jun.

Hey, Yi? He sighed heavily, and turned to look at the decree placed on the desk. Shook his head helplessly.

Encircling and suppressing Liu Jun, how easy is it, Yi? Looking at the holy decree in his hand, he really didn't know that his fourth sister-in-law was a demon who had a doorman.

Abundant? I know very well in my heart that Liu Jun, who is now in Liaodong, not only has more than 100,000 elites, but also holds Li Hongzhang's sailor in his hands, he really doesn't understand why this high-ranking fourth sister-in-law has no to look at.

An army that even the Japanese army has defeated can be fought by these unscrupulous people in the imperial court. I was very confused.

However, he had to listen to the above will, after all, he was still a person who loved the Xinjue Luo family.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to summon the butler to prepare the sedan chair. I saw the butler running in, bowed his head and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Zhongtang said that he had something important to see you." ”

Li Hongzhang, when he heard Zhongtang, Yi? Frowning for a moment, he wondered in his heart that Li Hongzhang was not staying in Tianjin, and he came to Beijing to find what he was doing.

Although there are doubts, but after all, Li Hongzhang and himself are good friends, put down the official hat in his hand, Yi? Motioned to the housekeeper to tell Li Hongzhang to bring it.

After a night of turbulence, Li Hongzhang finally arrived in Beijing the next morning.

As soon as he entered the city of Beijing, Li Hongzhang heard nothing else, all about the rumors that Liu Jun, the governor of Liaodong, had beaten the Qincha and that the imperial court was going to send a large army to encircle and suppress it.

What he was most afraid of hearing didn't expect it to happen, but Li Hongzhang still had a glimmer of hope, that is, Yi? has not yet entered the palace, sure enough, when he came to Prince Gong's mansion, the housekeeper told Li Hongzhang that the prince had not gone out yet, and this news made Li Hongzhang David happy, and immediately asked the housekeeper to report that there was something important to tell him.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Hongzhang raised his eyes and saw Yi? Stand in the lobby.

After saying hello and sitting down one after another, Li Hongzhang asked suspiciously, "Lord Wang, is this?" ”

Abundant? Li Hongzhang still pretended to be stupid, and his heart was full of unhappiness and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Why don't you know, Liaodong Admiral Liu Jun beat Qincha, Cixi Lao Buddha was also very angry, and summoned the Admiral Rong Lu of the Nine Gates, and the Lord Sun of the Military Department and the king to discuss the transfer of troops to encircle and suppress Liu Jun." "Be silent, Yi? Chai asked suspiciously, "Are you here?" ”

"I came to ask the prince, be sure to persuade Lafayette, don't send troops to encircle and suppress, otherwise Beijing will be in danger." Li Hongzhang was not polite, but directly said the purpose of his visit.

What's this? is a smart person, he originally disapproved of the imperial court's use of force against Liu Jun this time, but now when he heard Li Hongzhang say this, it also involved Beijing, and he immediately estimated that Li Hongzhang definitely heard some rumors, otherwise, he would not have come to Beijing all the way.

"Li Zhongtang, what do you mean by this?" Abundant? Sure enough, when he heard Li Hongzhang's words, he was not upset, but frowned and asked

"Hey" Li Hongzhang sighed, and then slowly said word by word: "The general army of Shanhaiguan came to report to the governor's mansion that Liu Jun has gathered 60,000 troops in Liaoyang, Jinzhou, and Yingkou. If" said this, Li Hongzhang wisely closed his mouth. Does he know E-Yi? ability, will not fail to hear the mystery in this.

Hiss, Yi? Even if you are sitting still, hear the news. Abundant? The face changed significantly, not to mention the pale appearance, and there were obvious beads of sweat on the head.

He heard what Li Hongzhang meant, as long as the court didn't do it, Liu Jun wouldn't do it, but once the court dared to make a move, Liu Jun would definitely fight back, and when the time came, he would really provoke Liu Jun, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong would probably have to reach Beijing within a month. No, it only takes half a month.

It's too late to catch up with Li Hongzhang, Yi? He stood up violently and shouted outside the hall: "Come on, prepare the horse immediately." The king entered the palace. ”
