"Liu Jun is a guy who is uneasy and unreasonable, and last time we were because of it." Seeing Sakuma Zuoma close his eyes, the chief of staff stood next to him and gritted his teeth and said.

"That's enough." Sakuma Zuoma angrily interrupted the chief of staff's words, as soon as he mentioned the last incident, the anger in his heart burned unconsciously, he was so old that he was played so badly by a hairy child.

The strength of a brigade actually makes people dare not mobilize it with a trick. It was a shame and sorrow that he had never had.

What made him feel even more sad was that since the beginning of the war, the Second Army, which had always been like a bamboo, had run into walls everywhere in Liaodong, just like the head of the European car without coal.

One dozen Lushun, two dozen Lushun, and the Battle of Yingkou, that time, the name of Liu Jun will appear, and even the navy will be cub in his hands, a warship that has just been launched for less than three months, let the family be taken prisoner, swaggering in the sea. Threaten yourself.

Picking up the teacup on the table, Sakuma Sakuma drank the tea in one gulp, sat down on the chair in a huff, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down.

Rubbing his dizzy temples with his hand, Sakuma Zuoma sighed and gave an order to the chief of staff next to him: "Order the 1st Brigade to enter the position, if you find the Lushun Navy, immediately rely on artillery, and in the order, the 12th mixed brigade, the 9th brigade, strengthen the vigilance." ”

"Your Excellency," the Chief of Staff bowed his head fiercely, and then hurriedly moved his fat body to convey the order.

"Damn Liu Jun." Sakuma Sakuma covered his face with his hands helplessly and fell weakly on the chair.

However, before he could finish his resentment, a telegram sent by the chief of staff an hour later made him scold, this time it was not Liu Jun who he scolded, but the base camp.

"Baga, these old men actually vetoed my suggestion, this is unforgivable." Angrily throwing away the telegram in his hand, Sakuma Sakuma scolded again: "A group of guys who can talk on paper, the people of the empire have raised a bunch of waste. Let go of this opportunity, I don't know when I will be able to take Lushun.

After taking over as the commander of the Second Army, he proposed to the military headquarters to replenish the troops and at the same time let the navy attack, joint action, and attack Lushun.

However, while the base camp actually rejected this proposal, it also transferred the 15th Division to the First Army. This makes Sakuma how not to be angry.

: The main force of Youpeng in Shan County has not been hit at all, why should the 15th Division be transferred to the First Army, it is blind. Sakuma Sakuma shook the table angrily and smashed a blue and white porcelain teacup.

Lushun, the whirring cold wind and the black oppressive dark clouds overwhelmed Lushun.

In the corridor of the backyard of the county office, Liu Jun was wearing a gray military uniform, and the black cloak was blowing in the wind on Liu Jun's body.

Liu Jun walked in front quickly, and Zhong Lin, who was following behind, picked up the telegram in his hand and followed closely behind.

"When?" Liu Jun frowned, and asked Zhong Lin, who was following behind, as he walked.

"This morning." Zhong Lin asked softly.

"Well, the war room is talking." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he began to speed up his pace and walked towards the war room.

At noon today, the telegraph office received information from the Dandong intelligence station that the 15th Division of the Japanese Army had landed on the Korean border and was currently advancing towards Haicheng.

Zhong Lin, who got the news, knew the seriousness of this information, so he immediately found Liu Jun, who was chatting with Wu Xiaoyan, and urgently told Liu Jun the information.

Liu Jun, who got the information, immediately put on his cloak and walked out of the door.

Walking to the war room, Liu Jun walked directly to the map.

"Here." Zhong Lin pointed out the place where the Japanese army landed at once, and drew the route of the Japanese army's march.

The black route runs from near Sinuiju, and the black arrows go straight into Haeseong.

Looking at the clear marching route of the 15th Division, Liu Jun thought for a moment and began to pick up the ruler placed on the table and draw on it.

"Strange." Putting down the ruler in his hand, Liu Jun hugged his hands around his waist and said with a frown.

Judging from the map, the 15th Division of the Japanese Army was to be incorporated into the First Army of Youpeng in Shanxian County.

The First Army had already occupied Haicheng and was confronting Song Qing's army there.

In terms of troops, the number of Qing troops exceeded that of the First Army, so the 15th Division was incorporated into the First Army to achieve a balance with the strength of the Qing army. There would have been nothing strange about this.

Liu Jun knew that there were friends in Shan County and the base camp of the Japanese army, and they also knew that tens of thousands of Qing troops, that is, decorations, as long as they were shelled, they would be defeated.

However, now, the Japanese army actually transferred the 15th Division to the First Army, which is simply unreasonable.

"It's weird, are those people in the Japanese army base camp caught in the door?" Liu Jun muttered to himself.

Zhong Lin next to him didn't hear clearly: "Head...... What's that...... Who was caught by the door. ”

"The Emperor of Japan and the base camp of the Japanese army." Liu Jun sat on the Taishi's chair. Shook it a few times and said to Zhong Lin.

"Why, you don't understand." Turning his head to see where Zhong Lin was at a loss, Liu Jun asked.

"Head, I don't understand." Zhong Lin smiled awkwardly.

Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin, who was standing there: "Stupid" Then he stood up and picked up the command that was placed next to him. explained to Zhong Lin.

"Since the Second Army and Lushun entered the team several times, they have been wounded and killed, and in addition to Yingkou, except for the 11th Brigade, the Sixth Division has been completely annihilated by itself, which has made the Second Army's strength seriously insufficient, on the contrary, the First Army has not suffered any major blows at all since the beginning of the war......"

The saliva was dry, and when he saw Zhong Lin still confused, Liu Jun threw away the command in his hand. Sitting on the chair, he asked resentfully: "If you were the headquarters of the Japanese army, the first army was not damaged, and the second army was desperately short of troops, what would you do?" ”

"Of course, the transfer of troops to the Second Army......"

"Head...... What do you mean. Zhong Lin seemed to understand.

"Well, Liu Jun nodded, stood up, looked at the map and said: That's why I said that the head of the Japanese army base camp was caught by the door, and the head was abnormal."

"The head is wise." Zhong Lin gave a thumbs up.

Ignoring Zhong Lin, Liu Jun turned his eyes to the map, he wouldn't believe that the Japanese army base camp would really be caught by the door, there was definitely a reason for the Japanese army to do this,

In doing this, aren't the Japanese worried that I will suddenly attack Dalian and cut off the strength of the Second Army. Or did the Japanese abandon Lushun and attack from other directions.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun instructed Zhong Lin, who was standing next to him, to immediately send someone to find out the current situation in Dalian.

Zhong Lin nodded, turned to leave. Liu Jun, who couldn't think of any reason, shook his head and walked out of the war room helplessly. He returned to his room and waited for Zhong Lin's telegram.

When it was almost dark, Zhong Lin, who was covered in snowflakes, brought the information that Liu Jun needed.

In the face of intelligence, Liu Junzhen still couldn't figure out what tricks the Japanese army was playing.

The Japanese army in Dalian didn't make any moves.

Waving his hand to let Zhong Lin, who had been busy all day, go down to rest, Liu Jun picked up the information in his hand and was at a loss.

This is also too bizarre, the Japanese army actually did not make any moves. What kind of medicine is hidden in the gourd?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Jun's head was as big as a fight, and he couldn't think of a way, but under the guidance of Wu Xiaoyan, he remembered Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang has been on the battlefield in officialdom for decades, and his staff officers are like clouds, and any one of them is better than the people in his hands.

Not to mention the bull man Yang Shixiang under Li Hongzhang.

After putting on his clothes and hat and cloak, Liu Jun asked Wu Xiaoyan to rest early, and under the comfort of his own soldiers, he rode to the telegraph office. After sending out the information that the 15th Division was reinforcing the First Army, Liu Jun asked people to bring tea and wait at the telegraph office, hoping that Li Hongzhang could give him an answer as soon as possible.

After Li Hongzhang received Liu Jun's telegram, he immediately summoned Yang Shixiang to study in the study, but what puzzled both of them was that they still couldn't get the purpose of the Japanese army. In desperation, Li Hongzhang had no choice but to call back and ask Liu Jun to pay attention to defense.

Defense, holding Li Hongzhang's telegram, Liu Jun couldn't cry or laugh, now he didn't even know why the Japanese army did this, what defense he used.

It is impossible to throw stones again to ask for directions, send troops to attack Dalian, and fight the Japanese army's attempt.

Liu Jun is not a stupid person, this kind of trick can only be used once. Can't use it a second time.

Throwing the telegram in his hand, Liu Jun walked out of the telegraph office and looked up at the gray sky and the light snow that was falling.

It seems that the only way to deal with it is to use the trick of not moving the enemy and not moving me. Thinking of this, Liu Jun turned over and got on his horse and returned to the county office.

He summoned all the generals above the brigade level, especially Li Rong and Wu Hao of the Tuchengzi defense line in Dalian, and reminded them that while paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese army in Dalian, he also asked Zhong Lin to follow the movements of the 15th Division at any time, and to report it immediately as long as the 15th Division was moving south.
