Chapter 443: Li Weiguo's Worries

As the sun sets, the gunfire of Mount Killini gradually dies out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Spartan army failed to ambush it, and was ambushed by the Chinese Imperial Army, resulting in a mountain of corpses and rivers of blood.

When he went, the soldiers were boundless, and the momentum was so great that he had the courage to destroy the Chinese Imperial Army in one go.

But when he returned, only Philobidas and a few of the guards platoon soldiers around him, the corpses of the Spartan army, were left forever in Mount Killini.

It was so miserable that Philobidas wanted to take out his gun and commit suicide, but unfortunately he was still afraid of death, so he finally didn't go down and fled to Sparta in disgrace.

Ye Zhichao, who was in the rear, was overjoyed when he learned that Yuan Shikai had won a good start, and ordered the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shikai's battalion to be commended, urging Yuan Shikai to advance quickly and pursue the victory.

The Imperial Chinese Army has a large number of trucks and motorcycles, and the degree of mechanization is unique in the world.

Yuan Shikai gave an order, and 10 fire reconnaissance assault vehicles opened the way in front, and the officers and men of the whole battalion rode motorcycles and military trucks, and their mobility was very strong.

Later that day, the vanguard battalion had already arrived in Sparta.

At this time, Sparta City had not yet received the news of the defeat in front of it, because the speed of the Chinese Empire's maneuver was too fast, and at this moment, Philobidas and several of his guards were still walking on the mountain road in the mountains, and they did not dare to take the big road, and watched the Chinese Imperial Army run ahead of them

Philobidas was in a hurry to get to work, trying to inform the defenders of Sparta to strengthen their defenses, but he couldn't do anything.

The defenders of Spartan City were still proud at the moment, thinking that this time Philobidas led more than 10,000 troops to ambush, even if they could not completely annihilate the Chinese Imperial Army, they could inflict heavy damage on it, so Spartan City was foolproof.

With this kind of luck, the defense of Sparta City was lax, and it was not until he saw the Chinese Imperial Army suddenly killing the city with rolling sand and dust, and then he woke up like a dream.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Put away the drawbridge, close the gates!"

Too late for a pity!

The fire reconnaissance assault vehicles of the Chinese Imperial Army accelerated and fired machine-gun fire from a distance.

The bloody heavy machine guns were powerful, and in an instant, bullets rained down, causing the Spartan army guarding the city gate to run with their heads in their hands, and suffered heavy casualties.

Some of the defenders tried to close the drawbridge and close the city gates, only to be beaten into a beecomb in an instant, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The remaining defenders around suddenly turned pale, and they were so frightened that they peed their pants, how could there be information to resist, and it was important to flee for their lives.

In this way, the fire reconnaissance assault vehicles of the Chinese Imperial Army quickly rushed across the drawbridge and rushed along the city gates.

Leaving four chariots to guard the city gate, waiting for the arrival of the infantry convoy of the Chinese Imperial Army behind, the other chariots rushed directly into the city of Sparta, chasing and killing the fleeing Spartan army along the way, and strafing with heavy machine guns, whether it was the Spartan army or civilians.

For a time, chickens and dogs jumped in Sparta.

The city gate fell so quickly that there were tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers in the city barracks who did not react, and they learned that the city gate was lost and the Chinese Empire had attacked.

Just when the Spartan army was panicking, Yuan Shikai had already led the army to completely control the city gate.

"That's the power of a mechanized army! This kind of mobility ability can often catch the enemy off guard in the future, which is really the best choice for stealing city tactics, which is really cool! ”

Yuan Shikai was terrified in his heart, and Ye Zhichao in the rear was even more excited, and at the same time Wang Shizhen rushed to reinforce him.

Originally, I thought that Spartan City would be difficult to attack, and it would inevitably be compared to the 357th Regiment, but the victory of a counter-ambush war directly caused the total destruction of the Spartan army, and even stole Spartan City in one fell swoop.

This is the first time we have encountered this kind of smooth battle.

"Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, and you have created this mechanized infantry, which is much more powerful than the ancient cavalry!"

When Ye Zhichao arrived at the Spartan city gate, he looked at the Chinese Imperial Flag and the Shence Army flag planted near the city gate, and he was immediately full of emotion.

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "Tuanzao, this time we have made a turnaround!" ”

Ye Zhichao nodded and said, "That's nature!" You can rest assured, the credit will not be lost to you! ”

Yuan Shikai immediately blushed and said, "Look at what you said, do I still care if that credit is not or not?" ”

At this time, Wang Shizhen also rushed over after learning that Ye Zhichao had arrived.

"How's it going in town?"

"There are still some remnants of the enemy resisting, but the main force has been defeated by our army, and the remaining enemies are just bullying us and not understanding the terrain of Sparta, so they are still trapped in the beast."

Ye Zhichao nodded and said: "Eliminate the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, this Spartan city was defeated by our regiment, and we must submit the battle report before the 357th regiment reports its battle exploits, which is very important!" ”

Wang Shizhen and Yuan Shikai glanced at each other, both knew what it meant, whether they could turn over or not, and they were all in one fell swoop.

Under the vigorous supervision of Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment fought bravely and quickly eliminated the remnants of the enemy in Sparta.

Chief of Staff Cao Kun immediately sent troops to occupy all important departments of Sparta, especially the treasury.

Although Sparta is poor, mosquito meat is also meat!

"Tuanza, how do you report this treasury property? Do you want to ......?"

"Report it truthfully! We can't afford to make the slightest mistake now! ”

Ye Zhichao said very spicy, he knew that Cao Kun meant to hide some personal secrets and give some gifts to Shangfeng, but this is not good! At least it doesn't work with him Ye Zhichao.

History has completely reborn Ye Zhichao at this moment, and he is not the Ye Zhichao of history at all.

The battle report was quickly reported to the division headquarters, and the division commanders were also surprised, originally handing over the most difficult task to the 358th Regiment, but Ye Zhichao and the others did an excellent job, but instead got the 357th Regiment, which had the easiest task, has not yet completed the established combat mission.

"This can't stop them, it seems that they have the luck to add to it! Forget it, you can't go too far, it doesn't matter if it's difficult to suppress it at ordinary times, but at this time, you can't do something special, and the 358 regiment will be rewarded by the general order, and at the same time report to the military department, so that the officers of the military department will have a headache! ”

This time, the division headquarters did not discriminate and truthfully reported the combat exploits of the 358th Regiment.

In the distant capital of Beijing, Wu Yong, the secretary of the military department, played the battle report to Li Weiguo.

"Sparta? Three hundred Spartan warriors? ”

Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered a very famous movie "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

Wu Yong was taken aback and gave Liu Mingchuan, the combat staff officer, a look.

Liu Mingchuan then said: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to know this legend!" The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, very famous in the history of ancient Greece, have always been the pride of the Greeks. Especially in Spartan City, the Spartans still believe in the three hundred Spartan warriors, who have never surrendered to the Ottoman Empire, and are the strongest combat force in the Greek army, but they were unexpectedly defeated by Ye Zhichao. ”

Liu Mingchuan deliberately mentioned Ye Zhichao's name, he originally hoped that the emperor would pay attention to Ye Zhichao, as long as Long Yan was happy, maybe Ye Zhichao would be able to rise to prominence.

However, Liu Mingchuan never expected that he didn't mention it, and when he mentioned Ye Zhichao's name, it caused Li Weiguo's frown and vigilance.

"Ye Zhichao?"

"Where?"

"What did you do before?"

Liu Mingchuan saw that Li Weiguo's expression was not good, and his heart suddenly tightened, but he didn't dare not say it.

"Your Majesty, Ye Zhichao is a native of Hefei, once a general of the Huai Army, and then educated and advanced by the Imperial Military Academy, ten years ago, he followed his ministers to conquer the natives of Southeast Asia, and made many military exploits."

"Li Hongzhang's old department?"

Li Weiguo's brows twisted even tighter.

Liu Mingchuan felt that his eyes were almost dark, and he regretted that he shouldn't mention Ye Zhichao's name, who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would know such a little person as Ye Zhichao, this is too outrageous!

Liu Mingchuan smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, although Ye Zhichao once served as a general in the Huai Army, he is not willing, he does not belong to the Huai Army, and he has nothing to do with Li Hongzhang a long time ago!" ”

Li Weiguo knew that Liu Mingchuan wanted to protect Ye Zhichao, but now Li Weiguo's understanding of Ye Zhichao is still on historical knowledge, and this Ye Zhichao lost the Battle of Pyongyang, which can be said to be the same as the Beiyang Naval Division lost the Battle of the Yellow Sea, which is the most shameful account in the history of the Chinese nation, and it is impossible for Li Weiguo not to have a mustard in his heart.

But Li Weiguo did not fail to give Liu Ming face, he believed in Liu Mingchuan's character.

"I only ask you, can you trust Ye Zhichao?"

Liu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and finally said: "He has followed the minister to fight for ten years, and he can be trusted!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded, and then asked: "Ye Zhichao is worthy of your trust, but you have been transferred back to the General Staff for five years, can Ye Zhichao still keep his heart?" Won't he be egged on by his men? ”

Liu Mingchuan thought for a while and replied, "This shouldn't be!" Ye Zhichao's subordinates are only a few people, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen, and Cao Kun, although they are all old generals of the Huai Army, they are still peaceful! ”

"What? Who are you talking about? Yuan Shikai is Ye Zhichao's subordinate? ”

Li Weiguo was taken aback, and his brain was suddenly a little insufficient.

One Ye Zhichao is enough for a headache, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen, and Cao Kun are all his subordinates, what the hell is this Nima?

Should history be so funny?

What about teasing my brother?

Not to mention that Li Weiguo's brain was messy, Liu Mingchuan's heart also collapsed at this moment.

it! What's going on today? I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out!

Just mentioned Ye Zhichao's name a lot, which has already made His Majesty unhappy, it seems that His Majesty knows that Ye Zhichao is still very unfriendly. As a result, he mentioned Ye Zhichao's subordinates, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen and Cao Kun, but unexpectedly, the three words Yuan Shikai seemed to touch the emperor's sensitive nerves again.

"Your Majesty, do you also know Yuan Shikai?"

Liu Mingchuan asked weakly, he couldn't figure it out, Yuan Shikai was just a pawn, and he didn't even know about the officials at the state level, so why was he registered in the emperor's heart!

This is not scientific!

"I've heard a little!"

Li Weiguo also came back to his senses and said lightly.

I can't tell Liu Mingchuan that Yuan Shikai is very good, in history he is a careerist who has set aside the power of the Qing court, usurped the presidential throne of China M, and finally has to be the emperor, and he may usurp the Chinese empire and the Li family in the future.

Seeing that Li Weiguo's face was not good-looking, Liu Mingchuan regretted that his intestines were blue.

He secretly said in his heart: Ye Zhichao, it's not that I don't want to promote you, it's really that your name is registered with Your Majesty. And your subordinate Yuan Shikai, it seems that His Majesty became even more unhappy after hearing this name. If I mention you again, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself!

What is this? A group of little people, why are they registered with His Majesty!

I've never seen His Majesty look so concerned!

You must know that Your Majesty's imperial heart has long been perfect, and I haven't seen Your Majesty so out of shape for many years!

It seems that there seems to be a story between His Majesty, Ye Zhichao and Yuan Shikai!

Liu Mingchuan smiled helplessly.

Wu Yong was also confused, but he had followed Li Weiguo for many years, and he could guess Li Weiguo's thoughts, so he tentatively said: "This battle of Sparta was fought beautifully, demonstrating the combat effectiveness of the recruits of our empire's Shence Army, as well as the proper command of the veteran generals." Since Your Majesty has heard the names of Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others, it is better to invite them back to Beijing and let them explain the battle in detail in person, so that other generals who have no chance to go on the expedition can learn it! ”

Liu Mingchuan suddenly glared at Wu Yong, this girl is too bad, and it is clear that the carriage and horse are going to target Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others.

What does it mean to be transferred back to the capital? Stripped of military power! House arrest!

"This, there is a war going on on the front line, and the temporary replacement of generals is afraid that it will affect the morale of the army, so it is better to wait until the war is over and then recall?"

Liu Mingchuan said tentatively, this was his last effort.

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "In the Balkan War, I plan to fight for three years and five years, so as to carry out large-scale military training, and the front-line generals will be replaced in turn. Now that Ye Zhichao and the others have won a battle, let's change to other troops! We must make a bowl of water even, and we can't let other troops stare at it! ”

A bowl of water is flat?

Liu Mingchuan smiled bitterly, he knew Li Weiguo's temper, and he couldn't persuade him.

"These days, I originally wanted to go to the Western Theater to inspect it, but now there are some things that can't be erased, Liu Ming will ask you to go on a trip instead of me!"

Liu Mingchuan was dumbfounded, how could he not think of it when he was smart, this was clearly to support him!

What's going on? Are you afraid that I will intercede for Ye Zhichao and Yuan Shikai?

"Your Majesty......"

"Alright, I'm tired, you go and prepare! Let's go! ”

Liu Mingchuan sighed and could only take orders.

After he left, Wu Yong asked Li Weiguo, "Your Majesty has something on your mind?" About Ye Zhichao and Yuan Shikai? ”

There are no outsiders, Li Weiguo and Wu Yong are still very close, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

But this time, Li Weiguo was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do with Ye Zhichao and Yuan Shikai.

History has changed, but human nature has not necessarily changed.

Li Weiguo was not very nervous about treating Ye Zhichao, but when he treated Yuan Shikai, he was always worried in his heart, afraid that one day Yuan Shikai would rebel and take away the Li family.

"Do you believe that I can predict the will of heaven?"

Wu Yong was stunned, such a thing was the first time Li Weiguo said it.

In fact, in Wu Yong's eyes, Li Weiguo is an omnipotent and omniscient person.

Over the years, Li Weiguo's every move, word and deed has proved that he is a great leader and an incomparable emperor.

"I believe it!"

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, and could see that Wu Yong was telling the truth.

"I once predicted that in the prophecy given to me by Providence, the names of some people were mentioned, and they were closely related to the Chinese Empire."

Wu Yong suddenly realized and said, "Among them, there are Ye Zhichao, Yuan Shikai and others?" I wonder what the prophecy is about them? ”

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said: "Providence predicts that Ye Zhichao cannot be the commander of an army, and if he commands more than 300,000 troops to fight, he will definitely be defeated. ”

Wu Yong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? At present, Ye Zhichao is just the head of a regiment, just transfer him back to China to serve as a local garrison, and don't let him participate in the big war until he retires! But I don't know what about Yuan Shikai? ”

Li Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times!" ”

Yes!

Wu Yong was suddenly startled, his mouth opened wide, and his eyes were about to fall out.

The capable minister who rules the world, the hero of the troubled times, isn't this talking about Cao Cao?

Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

Yuan Shikai actually has such ability? What a surprise!

"If this is the case, this person should be eliminated as soon as possible!" (To be continued.) )
