The target is not the imperial court, Zhong Lin, who heard this, lowered his head and immediately understood what Liu Jun meant, the target of Liaodong is not the imperial court, nor the southwest, but the two places below the southwest, and that is the purpose of the Liaodong army in the future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Jun's meaning is very clear, it is better to spend a large number of troops and materials on the civil war, it is better to leave this writing material, concentrate it in the southwest, and then use it on the battlefield in the future.

"Head, I see what you mean." Zhong Lin, who looked down and thought twice, nodded, then recorded the order and turned around to send a telegram.

Baoji. In the headquarters, Li Hongzhang looked at the table in front of him with a hesitant expression, he didn't know in his heart, how to respond to his telegram in Liu Jun's heart, after he sent Zhang Zhidong's meaning, he sent the message over, ready to wait for Liu Jun's meaning, Li Hongzhang's heart, also hoped to be able to solve the southwest peacefully.

The terrain of the southwest is too complicated. The personnel aspect is also chaotic, once the war starts, there are too many disadvantages to the Liaodong Army.

In particular, the complex terrain in Yunnan and Guizhou is simply not something that ordinary people can bear, Guangxi is okay, the problem is that the Guangxi army has two corps, and the rest can also be the Shaanxi army, and the other troops mobilized from all over the country are all plain armies, which have little effect, and the Tibet side can dispatch troops, but now Tibet is still carrying out land reform, and Wu Peifu can at most transfer the strength of one army into western Sichuan.

Anyway, it's good to have it, Li Hongzhang, who thought of this, was going to go to the telegraph room, and then gave Liu Jun a suggestion.

Before he went out, Li Hongzhang saw his son walk in.

"Isn't it?" Before Li Hongzhang, who asked tentatively, finished speaking, Li Jingfang, who came in, nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Jun has come to order." agreed to resume negotiations with the imperial court, but only after taking the Sword Gate. ”

Well, with such an arrangement, Li Hongzhang was relieved, not only to take the Jianmen Pass, but also to mobilize troops into the Aba area in western Sichuan, so as to be able to put pressure on the imperial court.

"Also, Liu Jun called, modify the treatment of the imperial court after the abdication, the four million will remain unchanged, and the Chengdu Longquanyi Palace can temporarily be used by the imperial court for fifteen years, and after fifteen years, Liaodong will be completely recovered."

This is good, it is already very worthy of the imperial court, in this way, even if the imperial court abdicates, in Longquanyi, it is still his small imperial court, Liaodong will not care, but will station a certain number of troops outside to protect the imperial court, and will not be threatened by others. Of course, there is also a purpose, in order to spy on the imperial court.

"Liu Jun has taken a good step this step, in this way, you go and forward a telegram to me." Li Hongzhang, who said this, said his thoughts.

"Father, I know, I'll send the telegram right away." Li Jingfang, who understood the situation, nodded, and then turned around and walked out.

After getting the accurate situation, Renshoudian, Zhong Lin and others did not have any suspicions about Liu Jun, but began to adjust the intelligence of the southern area again, and mobilized all the main forces of the entire intelligence bureau to the south.

"Head, Li Hongzhang sent an urgent call from Baoji." Seeing where Liu Jun was looking at the telegram in the southwest, Zhong Lin handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun.

What telegram will Li Hongzhang give himself, Liu Jun, who raised his head and looked at Zhong Lin, then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Head, Li Hongzhang called, suggesting that the strength of an army be drawn from the Tibetan side and enter western Sichuan to put pressure on the imperial court." Zhong Lin quickly reported the situation.

Why didn't he think of this, Liu Jun, who heard this, got up from his chair. Take a few steps to the map.

At present, Tibet's land reform has reached Qamdo, and it will not take long to complete it. However, there are a lot of private armed forces in Tibet, and there are only 50,000 people on Wu Peifu's side, and if the strength of an army is transferred at once, Liu Jun doesn't know if Wu Peifu can hold on.

"In my opinion, it is possible to mobilize the strength of an army from Xinjiang to replenish it, and if it is really impossible, call up troops on the spot." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw where Liu Jun was thinking, and stepped forward and said.

Tibet's land reform cannot be broken, but the matter that Li Hongzhang said cannot be broken, it seems that only Zheng Yiqian's method is the best.

"Send electricity to Wu Peifu and Zhao Erfeng in Tibet, draw out the strength of an army, and move to the Aba area." After thinking about it, Liu Jun turned around and gave an order.

In the hall, Wu Peifu, who was the commander of the Tibetan garrison, and Zhao Erfeng, who was the head of the Tibetan garrison, were pointing in front of the map in the hall, and the map in front of them was a map of Tibet. Anyone dares to stand in the way. At present, the land reform in Tibet has been carried out smoothly, and in half a month's time, all the land will be able to change completely, but the following things will immediately have to deal with the counterattack of some undead people.

"Report the Beijing Emergency Call." Just as Wu Peifu and Zhao Erfeng were discussing the next step, an orderly walked in from outside and handed Zhao Erfeng a telegram in his hand.

After Zhao Erfeng returned to Liaodong, he was not transferred, but has been in Tibet to assist Wu Peifu.

"What did the marshal say?" After Zhao Erfeng finished reading the telegram, Wu Peifu stretched his neck and asked.

"The marshal ordered that the troops of an army be transferred to fight back to Aba along the route I took from Sichuan to Tibet."

What....... Wu Peifu, who heard this, suddenly took the telegram in his hand and looked at it, and then immediately raised his head: "Where can we draw the strength of an army, a division is about the same." ”

The troops are not enough, the 50,000 horses and horses have now been separated, and even the Qing army that has been stationed in Tibet has been dispersed, and now there is only one division in Wu Peifu's hands, and there is also an army on the border, and that army cannot move at all. Once you move, you are worried that there will be problems in the south, and you will not have time to cry at that time.

"Don't worry, Dashuai said something here." Seeing Wu Peifu talking a lot, Zhao Erfeng took a deep breath, and then said: "The marshal also said that if the troops are insufficient, the army can be summoned on the spot. But the strength of an army must be, and in addition, the commander said, the border will be absolutely safe within a year. (To be continued.) )
