Chapter 170: Unsatisfactory
Russia has always wanted to eat the Qing Dynasty, this is a clear thing, Li Hongzhang can see it, and Liu Jun, a person a hundred years later, can understand this even more, so he wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then store up his strength, and then have a good fight with the Russian bear. Let's see who's the master.
To end the war, it is necessary to let the court know that it is afraid, and Liu Jun knows that the most important means of this monarchy is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If Shengjing is taken, it means that the ancestral tomb of the emperor of the imperial court is occupied. He didn't believe that the emperor and the old woman would risk going to war with him, regardless of the safety of his ancestors. And fight with yourself.
This time, I mobilized a corps, hoping to take Shengjing as soon as possible, hoping that after I took Shengjing, I could make the court retreat and everyone live in harmony, I am still your subject, but I don't listen to your orders.
In the past few days, what Liu Jun wants most is Shengjing's information, and now that he has received Shengjing's telegram, how can Liu Jun not be excited.
Looking at Zhong Lin, who was looking at the information, Liu Jun stood up suddenly, and after Zhong Lin finished reading it, Liu Jun asked with some excitement: "What's the matter, what's the situation?" ”
Zhong Lin smiled and did not speak.
Phew, Liu Jun touched his chest, and from Zhong Lin's smile, he dared to be sure that Duan Qirui had won Shengjing.
"Head, the Third Corps has called, and it has successfully taken Shengjing peacefully under the threat of Duan Qirui."
"Okay," Liu Jun slapped his palm violently, then quickly walked to the map, picked up the pen on the table, and drew a red line on Sheng Jing's position.
After doing all this, Liu Jun began to slowly shift his gaze downward, until Beijing, Liu Jun stopped moving and stared at Beijing, Liu Jun took a deep breath, and thought in his heart, now, it depends on what the old woman means. ”
"Head, what are we going to do now?" Zhong Lin saw where Liu Jun was in a daze with his arms folded, and stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Wait" Liu Jun finished speaking, lowered his arms, and returned to his position.
Waiting, before Zhong Lin understood what he meant, he heard Liu Jun, who was already sitting on the chair, say: "Tell Feng Guozhang to pay close attention to the direction of Shanhaiguan." ”
"Understood." Zhong Lin nodded, then took out the document, wrote the order on it, and turned around and left the office.
In Chuxiu Palace, every day after supper, Cixi would be in the Buddhist hall, pretending to be compassionate and reciting a scripture before going to rest.
"Where's Galeries Lafayette?" Cixi, who was reciting the scriptures, heard a voice outside. She heard it, this is Yi? sounds.
Strange, how? Today's voice sounded a little anxious, is there something wrong, thinking of this, Cixi stopped chanting the scriptures, put down the Buddhist scriptures, and walked out of the Buddhist hall.
As soon as she walked out of the Buddhist hall, by the light of those candles in Chuxiu Palace, Cixi found that Yi? Not only was he anxious, but his face was pale, and there was some sweat on it.
"Lord Wang, is something happening?" With the support of Li Lianying, Cixi asked after she made the yellow silk dumplings.
As soon as Prince Gong saw Cixi, he knelt on the ground and looked at Cixi tremblingly: "Fourth sister-in-law, something is wrong." ”
Fourth sister-in-law, Cixi was taken aback, you know, this Yi? has always been called Lafayette, and he has never called his fourth sister-in-law, and today, today.
Something is definitely wrong, Cixi thought of this, and after holding the yellow satin cushion on the side with her hand, she forced her composure: "What's wrong?" ”
Abundant? Before he spoke, tears flowed out first, wow, Yi? He actually began to cry.
Cixi was blindsided all of a sudden, she didn't know what could make this person, commonly known as Devil Six, cry like this.
Cixi couldn't sit down anymore, so she stood up. Go up and help Yi?, let Li Lianying move to the position, and wait for Yi? After sitting down, Cixi asked again, "What happened?" ”
"Fourth sister-in-law, Sheng Jing...... Shengjing ...... Sheng Jing was lost. "Yi? After saying that, he covered his eyes with his sleeve.
Ah, Cixi exclaimed, and then took two steps back.
There was a crackling sound, followed by a crackling sound, and the rosary in his hand was actually torn off, and the rosary rolled to the ground.
Shengjing Shengjing, Cixi kept muttering to herself.
Shengjing was lost, which means that Liu Jun has sent troops to take Shengjing, and now, his family's ancestral graves are in Liu Jun's hands, if he still enters the palace, will he stimulate Liu Jun, he will dig up the grave and dig up the body.
Cixi didn't dare to think about it, after all, Liu Jun, although he hadn't seen it, he knew something, this person was more than unscrupulous. If you can't get it, he really dare.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Cixi looked at Yi?, and after a while, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"This afternoon, 20,000 people of the Liaodong Army surrounded Shengjing, and after sending the last telegram, Shengjing General Enze opened the gate of Shengjing, and now, Shengjing has been occupied by the Liaodong Army." Abundant? Although he stopped crying, there was still some sadness on his face.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you can't attack anymore, withdraw your troops," Yi? Looking at Cixi with a blank eye, he didn't want his ancestral grave to be dug up.
Withdrawing the army, now that the troops have arrived in Xingcheng, it will not be long before they can launch an attack on Jinzhou, if they retreat at this time, it is not to tell Liu Jun that the court is afraid of him.
Cixi looked far ahead, and she was worried that once the troops were withdrawn this time, she would set a precedent with the local officials, that is, in the future, once the ground officials had heavy troops, then they would not take the imperial court seriously.
"Can't be withdrawn." Cixi ignored Yi? , but firmly looking at the dark night sky.
"Why?" Abundant? He stood up at once and looked at Cixi.
Cixi took a look at Yi?, took a deep breath, and said what she thought.
Abundant? is a smart person, he understood it all of a sudden, so he didn't cry, but regained his original fortitude, and thought about it carefully: "According to the report, now that the army in Liaodong has stopped advancing, I estimate that Liu Jun wants to give us a sincerity, a sincerity not to fight." In my opinion, we don't want this sincerity this time. He wanted to order Rong Lu to speed up and catch Liu Jun off guard. ”
"En" Cixi nodded, and then waved her hand: "You can handle this matter." ”
At the Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun kept turning the pen in his hand, and his eyes kept staring at Beijing.
It's been a day, why doesn't Feng Guozhang or even Beijing have any news about the imperial court going to truce.
"Head, head." Zhong Lin's shout came from outside the door.
As soon as he heard this voice, Liu Jun threw the pen in his hand and stood up from the chair, he promised that Zhong Lin must have brought the news.
"What's the matter, did the imperial court stop attacking, and did Rong Lu's troops withdraw to Shanhaiguan." Liu Jun grabbed Zhong Lin excitedly.
Retreating, Zhong Lin was blindsided all of a sudden, and after a while he understood what Liu Jun was asking.
patted his thigh, Zhong Lin said excitedly: "Head, you are still retreating, now everyone has already fought with us." ”
What? Liu Jun jumped up all of a sudden.
Zhong Lin was taken aback, and then said strangely: "What's wrong, don't you believe it, look at it, Feng Guozhang telegraphed that Rong Lu's three thousand Praetorian Guards had exchanged fire with the Fifth Division of the Third Army outside Xingcheng." ”
After swiping the telegram, Liu Jun took a closer look.
Throwing away the information in his hand with a snap, Liu Jun's eyes widened. It took him a moment before he yelled.
"Grass and mud horses, don't be ashamed to give face, Lao Tzu will stop advancing, you don't give face, and you will come to beat Lao Tzu, there is no sincerity at all." After scolding resentfully, Liu Jun walked to the map, and after looking at the map, Liu Jun turned around and asked Zhong Lin beside him: "How many Qing troops are there this time." ”
"Head, according to Feng Guozhang's telegram, there are at least fifteen thousand forwards."
"Ma Gebi, tell Duan Qirui to immediately dispatch a division and a brigade to the south, join Feng Guozhang's Second Corps, and give Lao Tzu to eat his paralysis."
"Yes." Zhong Lin turned around and was about to leave.
"Come back, Lao Tzu hasn't finished his words yet." Liu Jun grabbed Zhong Lin.
"What's the matter" Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun with a puzzled expression.
"Go, call Li He to Lao Tzu, it's time for them to move."
