Cixi is quite trusting of her descendant, Ronglu.

At that time, Rong Lu swore in front of him that he would take down Liu Jun's head. is also very complimentary, so she has always thought in her heart that this is a good news from Rong Lu.

Smiling slightly, Cixi's tender face like water revealed the beauty of a woman from the coming year, and asked lightly: "Is it any good news that Rong Lu has brought to the mourning family?" ”

This, when the eunuch heard this, he really didn't know what to say, and looked up at Cixi, his little eunuch trembled all over, and the sweat on his face was also exposed.

"En" Cixi saw that the little eunuch did not speak, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

Where could the eunuch stand this majesty, he hurriedly lowered his head and stammered: "Lafayette...... The imperial army was completely annihilated by the Liaodong army, and only less than 3,000 people remained, under the leadership of Lord Rong, to break out of the encirclement. ”

Silence, silence, for a while, Cixi's face changed from a smile to gloomy.

The rhythm of the storm: "Why are you still kneeling on the ground stupidly, damn minion, quickly pass on Prince Gong." After Cixi finished scolding, she suddenly fell weakly on the yellow satin cushion.

Cixi didn't expect that it would be like this, and the 30,000 army would be like this, and in less than fifteen days, Liu Jun would be able to eat it. Now that she is flustered, she can only summon Prince Gong and ask whether she will continue to fight or make peace with Liu Jun.

Prince Gong had long known that Cixi was bound to find himself, so after the next court, he did not walk quickly outside the palace gate, but walked slowly and methodically on the road.

Sure enough, before he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a eunuch from Chuxiu Palace slowly running over.

"Lord Wang, Lafayette summons." After the little eunuch came over, there was no extra nonsense, please say what you mean directly.

Take a deep breath, Prince Gong? nodded, and then under the leadership of the little eunuch, he passed all the way through the palace gate, entered the apse, and came to Chuxiu Palace.

After entering the Chuxiu Palace, he saw Cixi holding her head weakly with her right hand, closing her eyes, and where she was in a daze. He only knew that Cixi was bound to summon him, but he couldn't guess what exactly he summoned to do.

Coughing softly, Prince Gong hoped to attract Cixi's attention: "Slave ......"

"The prince doesn't have to be polite. Sit. "Where can Cixi still take care of those false etiquette now, and after directly interrupting Prince Gong's greeting, she asked Li Lianying to bring a stool.

Prince Gong knew that it was best not to be hypocritical at this time, and if he was hypocritical, he could only add fuel to the fire of Cixi. He sat down, and before he could speak, Cixi asked first: "Lord Wang, now that the imperial court has been newly defeated and the 30,000 army has been lost, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" After Cixi finished speaking, her eyes stared at Yi in a daze.

All this, Yi? In fact, when he had not yet gone to the court, there were some considerations, but Guangxu was in anger at that time, and he did not raise it.

In Yi? It seems that the fight cannot be fought, the 30,000 troops of the imperial court this time are finally put together, if the fight continues, the imperial court will have to send troops again, this fight and can't fight, but it will also make the imperial court lose a lot of troops, which is simply something that cannot be done. So in his heart, he was going to make peace. reconciled with Liu Jun.

After all, the imperial court lost troops, and the most profitable thing was the governors of various places, and the current imperial court was no longer when his father was the emperor, the military power was held in the center, and after the long-haired riots, the imperial court army was vulnerable, and regimental training sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Since then, the military power of the imperial court has begun to be no longer so concentrated, and the biggest force in this is the Hunan army, the Hunan army is quite obedient and has been eliminated a lot, and this Huai army is simply a major problem of the imperial court.

Now, the Liaodong Army has emerged again, no matter who the court fights with, it is the court that suffers.

Abundant? After taking a look at Cixi, he cautiously said what he thought.

In fact, Cixi also knew that she couldn't fight it, and it was a mistake to send troops to Liaodong at that time, and now, she can only make up for it.

Nodding, Cixi said: "The meaning of the mourning family is also the same as that of the prince, and the question is now, how can the imperial court express our meaning to Liu Jun." ”

"This, the minion looks, just ask the governor of Zhili to give Liu Jun a secret telegram." Abundant? He thought about it for a moment and said.

"En" Cixi nodded, even if she agreed to this plan, she also knew the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Liu Jun.

Lushun, Liu Junzheng was bored crawling on the table in a daze, since handing over the Jilin war to Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, he has nothing to do, there is no news from Pyongyang now, and he can only pass the time in the office in a daze all day long.

"Head, Tianjin Secret Electricity." Zhong Lin walked in and put a telegram on Liu Jun's desk.

Liu Jun didn't look at it: he glared at Zhong Lin: "You read it, I'm not in the mood to watch it." ”

Zhong Lin glanced at Liu Jun, sighed, then picked up the telegram and said the content of the telegram in a few clicks.

Lord Zhongtang sent a secret telegram from the imperial court, and the imperial court wanted to stop the war. ”

"What" Liu Jun suddenly raised his head from the table and looked at Zhong Lin with a look of disbelief.

Seeing that Liu Jun didn't believe it, Zhong Lin handed out a message, which means, don't believe it, read it yourself.

Liu Junzheng had this meaning, pulled the telegram, and after reading it carefully, he snorted coldly, and Liu Jun threw the telegram on the table.

"Head, what are we going to do now, do you agree?" Zhong Lin approached Liu Jun and asked cautiously.

Agree, it's not as easy as that, Liu Jun thought to himself.

I didn't want to fight at the beginning. Even after taking Shengjing, he asked the troops to stop advancing, showing so much sincerity, but he didn't give any face to fight with himself, and now when he saw that his army was defeated, he immediately didn't want to fight. There are no such good things, Lao Tzu is not what you want.

"No matter." Liu Jun said lightly.

No matter, Zhong Lin was puzzled, you know, this is a rare opportunity for a truce.

"Head, this truce in the imperial court is a good opportunity, why don't you give it a chance." Zhong Lin asked suspiciously.

Of course, Liu Jun has his desire to fight, and if the war is stopped now, then there will be a huge problem for himself, Jilin.

Jilin is a threat to itself in the future, the devil knows, when the imperial court will go crazy again, at that time, once the war starts, it will be possible to let yourself be attacked on both sides, left and right, even if you want to stop fighting, you have to wait until you take the panorama of Jilin in the future.

To put it simply, Liu Jun wants to consolidate his rear, and he doesn't want his backyard to catch fire and the front yard to be robbed.

Liu Jun saw this very clearly, he knew that sooner or later, the imperial court would still do it with him, rather than come to the decisive battle at that time, it was better to expand the territory as soon as possible.

"Head, what about your grandfather." Zhong Lin saw that Liu Jun was the king of the eight eating scales, and he was determined to fight. Not to persuade, but to ask how to answer, after all, this is a telegram from Tianjin.

Closing his eyes, Liu Jun's head began to turn rapidly, if he could fight without blood, let the court give Jilin to me. That's good to come up. However, in Liu Jun's opinion, this is simply impossible.

As for the official, anyway, he is giving face, and he will give it, and if he doesn't give it, he will rob it. Thinking of this, Liu Jun opened his eyes: "Call back to my old man, old man, this truce is okay, let him ask the imperial court and bring Jilin to me." Otherwise, the battle will have to be fought. ”

Hiss, Zhong Lin took a deep breath, this Liu Jun is simply shameless, this Jilin territory is so big, will the court agree? However, seeing that Liu Jun's eyes were so firm, Zhong Lin had no choice but to nod and turn away.

Tianjin, Li Hongzhang was sad at this time, he didn't expect that the imperial court had been tortured by Liu Jun to such an extent that he actually wanted to send a letter to Liu Jun asking for a truce.

This morning, Li Hongzhang, who had just gotten up, had not yet had breakfast, when he saw Yang Shixiang bring in a person. henchmen. After this person came in, he didn't say anything superfluous, but handed a letter to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang opened it and took a look, only to know, is this Yi? The handwritten letter, on the letter, means that Cixi ordered herself to ask Liu Jun what he meant, the court will not fight, you can see if you can stop fighting.

Li Hongzhang knew that the imperial court couldn't let go of face, so he used such a secret way. At that time, he personally went to the telegraph office with Yang Shixiang, called out all the people, and personally asked Yang Shixiang to send the message, and he waited in the telegraph room.

However, two hours have passed, and there is no situation from Lushun at all, so he is a little worried, he is really worried that Liu Jun, a rabbit cub, does not know how to lift.

Da Da Da ...... Da da da. The voice of the telegraph room that received the telegram sounded.

After Yang Shixiang looked at it, he stood up excitedly: "My lord, Liu Jun called back." ”
