Chapter 406: Armistice

"Head, Nanjing has taken it." Before Liu Jun could completely walk out of the door, Zhong Lin rushed in, happily holding the telegram in his hand.

"Good, good, good," Liu Jun looked at the words on it, slapped the telegram with his hand, and said a few good words in a row.

This news came very timely, and he could even say that the battle between himself and the imperial court would stop for a while. "Head, Li Rong asked, do you want to continue to attack west?" Seeing Liu Jun return to his seat, Zhong Lin took a step forward and asked Li Rong his own question.

"After stopping the westward advance and letting Li Rong hand over Jiangsu to Zhang Xun, Li Rong immediately led the Fifth Corps back to Fuzhou, and as for Wu Peifu, he immediately led the army into Anhui to station."

Phew, Zhong Lin took a deep breath, he knew that Liu Jun would arrange it like this, and he also hoped that Liu Jun would arrange it like this, because once it was arranged like this, it would mean that the head would really do it to Japan.

"Tomorrow, let Li He come to see me." Faintly, Liu Jun frowned and said another order word by word.

"Understood." Zhong Lin nodded, quickly took out the document, and wrote down the itinerary for tomorrow on it.

Seeing Zhong Lin's distant back, Zheng Yiqian, who had been staying by her side, came to Liu Jun and sat down: "What, don't you take a break to fight against Japan?" ”

Rest? Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian suspiciously, he knew in his heart that Zheng Yiqian was worried that he would attack the imperial court immediately as soon as he finished the battle against the imperial court, which would probably cause a short-term disadvantage in terms of materials and troops. After all, his main forces are still in Liangjiang and Shaanxi.

"I wanted to rest, but as you can see, the Japanese don't give me any chance to kick at all." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned around and walked to his study, and took out a telegram from the drawer, which was estimated to have accumulated over the past few days, and was the thickness of a person's thumb.

These telegrams were all sent by the Liaodong Intelligence Bureau and the hired Ding Ruchang during this period about the movement of Japanese troops.

From the telegrams, it probably pointed to one thing, the Japanese army was mobilizing troops, and among them, the strength of another division was transferred to Korea, and two of the divisions were not transferred to Korea, but they were also concentrated in Sasebo.

Sasebo has always been the base of the combined fleet, and the Japanese army mobilized two army divisions into Sasebo, which is unreasonable, unless, this is the Japanese army used to land operations, and to land operations, there is only one place at present, that is, Liaodong.

Judging from this information, Japan is determined to do something to itself, so it can't be too cowardly.

Bang bang, Zheng Yiqian carefully looked at the content of the telegram handed over by Liu Jun. After a while, Zheng Yiqian threw the telegram in her hand onto the coffee table on the side.

"Japan's army has been moving so frequently during this time. It's a wolf's ambition."

"It's not just like that" Liu Jun on the side returned to his position again and took out a telegram: "Look at it, the Japanese Navy has increased its face and even the number of warships patrolling. ”

"No wonder you always hope that Nanjing can be taken as soon as possible these days, it turns out that it is for this matter." After reading the information, Zheng Yiqian smiled and put the telegram in her hand on the table.

"Not exactly, I have another reason, even if I don't go to war with the Japanese, I will stop fighting with the imperial court for the time being."

This made Zheng Yiqian a little strange, and after a while, Zheng Yiqian remembered something, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Liu Jun who was sitting beside her: "You won't be because of the influence of Clinder." ”

Liu Jun didn't speak, but he picked up the teacup and put the teacup he was about to drink on the table, and then nodded, indicating that Zheng Yiqian guessed correctly.

"It's strange, hasn't Klinder always supported you in attacking the imperial court, why would he suddenly oppose you attacking the imperial court?" Zheng Yiqian blinked and asked again suspiciously.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Jun denied Zheng Yiqian's words, in fact, Clinder was not against attacking the imperial court, but other Britain and France had begun to discuss how to make Liu Jun stop attacking the imperial court, and even were already discussing and openly sending troops to intervene.

And Clinder came to him to tell Liu Jun the news. Liu Jun, who got the news, was taken aback, if this was in normal times, Liu Jun would not be afraid, after all, Britain and France are strong, but only the navy is strong, and the army, then he has never been afraid, the problem is that now Japan is eyeing itself, if Britain and France send troops at this time, then in addition to Japan, the consequences will not be predictable.

Therefore, at that time, he decided that he must automatically truce with the imperial court as soon as possible when Britain and France sent troops, so as to bankrupt the conspiracy of Britain and France to jointly send troops.

At that time, after Klinder left, he was in the study after thinking about how to get the maximum benefit from the battle against the imperial court at the same time, and at the same time not to step on the bottom line of Britain and France for the time being, in the end, Liu Jun believed that the final end was to take the two rivers and not attack.

"I see." Zheng Yiqian nodded in realization. For a long time, she thought that Liu Jun would stop attacking the imperial court until he fought against Japan, but she didn't expect that in fact, there was also the influence of Britain and France.

Arthur Command, on a new day, the sun has passed through the clouds. The unintentional warm sun hung in the sky, illuminating the frozen ice in and around Arthur City crystal clear.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Liu Jun, who was reading the documents, looked up, and it was Li He who walked in in the general's uniform.

"Dashuai, you look for me." Li He walked up to Liu Jun in a few steps and asked with a salute.

"You're here." Putting down the documents in his hand, Liu Jun motioned for Liu Jun to sit down, and then looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was staying next to him: "Daughter-in-law, you go and let all the guards retreat." ”

What is so serious, and you actually want to let all the guards retreat, Li He looked at Zheng Yiqian, who was going out, with a puzzled face. Confused.

"Alright, the guards have already retreated, you can speak." After a while, Zheng Yiqian came in, closed the door, walked to Liu Jun and sat down.

"Dashuai, who are you?" Li He asked suspiciously.

"Look at this." Liu Jun waved his hand to interrupt Li He's questioning and handed Li He a document.

What is it, Li He took it, looked through it and read it carefully.

"Dashuai, this is not appropriate." After reading the document, Li and trembling shook the telegram in his hand.

It was he who wanted to fight the Japanese, but he really couldn't do anything about this way of fighting, which was really not the way of a gentleman.

"Something is not suitable, you say." Liu Jun thought that Li He would praise himself fiercely, but now the result seems to be very disdainful of Li He's plan.

Liu Jun didn't know what was inappropriate, didn't he just let Li He let the patrol fleet seize the opportunity to attack the Japanese patrol fleet first, and then put the blame on Japan, saying that Japan fired first, what is so difficult about this.

"Dashuai, it's not the right way to do this, isn't it too much." After all, Li He is a person with a strong sense of orthodoxy, and he is really embarrassed to start a war like Liu Jun's shameless war.

"What are you afraid of, do it with the Japanese, and talk to him about morality, when the Battle of Toshima was fought, they talked about morality. Don't think of Japan as a human being, you know no. As soon as he saw that Li He was not happy, Liu Jun stood up at once and began to show his eloquence, saying that he would persuade Li He to agree to his own dismissal.

Indeed, Li He's serious face was slowly changing, and he suddenly remembered a few years ago.

The Japanese Navy suddenly attacked the troop carrier of the Beiyang Naval Division in Toshima, causing more than 1,000 officers and men of the Gao Sheng to die with hatred.

"Let me tell you, this time the strength of the combined fleet has far surpassed the year of the First Sino-Japanese War, we must strike first to be strong, and then attack the advanced idea of suffering" Liu Jun is still foaming at the mouth, and if he does not convince Li He today, he will not give up.
