In the hall, the opera of Sun Monkey and Three Dozen White Bone Spirits on the stage is still going on, looking at the monkey who is playing with a stick, Cixi's face washes her face with human milk every day, and her skin is as white as tofu has always shown a satisfied smile.

"Galeries Lafayette. Zhang Zhongtang and Governor Songpan asked to see him outside the door, and there was an urgent matter that needed to be reported. Li Lianying came to Cixi's side, bent down late and said cautiously.

Excessively, Cixi frowned and looked at Li Lianying with a dissatisfied expression.

"Little Lizi, didn't the mourning family say that they didn't see anyone today?"

"This?" Li Lianying took a step back, lowered her head and thought for a while, and raised her head again: "But ......"

"But what, spit."

Seeing that Cixi had turned her head to the stage, Li Lianying stepped forward and cautiously said again: "The Liaodong Army has crossed the Yellow River. ”

With a clang, the exquisite blue and white teacup in Cixi's hand that Jingdezhen paid tribute knocked over to the ground at once, and the tea was suddenly fragrant.

"Lafayette," Li Lianying exclaimed, stepping forward to support Cixi, who was about to faint.

"Go, let them wait in the hall for the mourners." Hurriedly caressing her chest with caresses, Cixi took a deep breath, turned her head and walked out after giving an order to Li Lianying.

In the hall of the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu, the cold wind swept the surrounding dead branches and leaves into the sky, not a whirlwind that appeared in the huge courtyard, where the desolation swirled and made a ghostly sound that people heard it.

In the hall, Zhang Zhidong and Songpan stood to the side in a daze, looking at Cixi, who had kept her eyes closed and didn't say a word since the two of them came in, and her face was a little pale.

Songpan's position is slightly lower than Zhang Zhidong, and he hasn't spoken for so long, so Songpan pushed Zhang Zhidong, hoping that they would speak.

Zhang Zhidong glared at Song Pan slightly, in this case, who wants to find it is not painful. The rules and regulations, Zhang Zhidong didn't see it, and still stood there in his own way.

"Zhang Zhidong, how is it in Sichuan?"

What the hell Zhang Zhidong widened his eyes what is the situation I am here to inform the Liaodong Army that the Liaodong Army had crossed the Yellow River yesterday afternoon and was fighting against Dong Fuxiang and others in the Qinling Mountains, why did he suddenly ask himself Cixi would ask him about the situation in Sichuan.

Sichuan has the governor Zhao Erfeng in charge, and there is nothing to do until now, and Cixi should know these things. So what does that mean? Zhang Zhidong was confused.

Not only Zhang Zhidong, but even Song Pan next to him was bubbling all over his head.

After not seeing the two of them answer for a long time, Cixi opened her eyes, she didn't expect that her words were so obvious, and neither of them understood.

Xi'an can't stay any longer. This was Cixi's first thought after learning that the Liaodong army had crossed the Yellow River.

As soon as the Liaodong Army crossed the Yellow River, although there was still a natural danger in the Qinling Mountains behind, the Liaodong Army could come down from the north and attack the Qinling Mountains on both sides, once the Qinling Mountains were lost. Xi'an is dangerous.

Therefore, there is only a place to transfer, and the only option is Sichuan. The terrain of Sichuan is precipitous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can there be several important passes such as Jianmen Pass. Only where to retreat. to be considered safe.

Two old things, Cixi frowned. Slowly moving her body, Cixi opened her mouth again: "I heard that the people in Sichuan are simple and simple, and the mourning family wants to take a look." ”

Sure enough, it was Cixi, and she could still give such a strong reason for escaping.

It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Zhidong and Songpan glanced at each other, and immediately understood that Cixi wanted to retreat to Sichuan, and with the terrain of Sichuan, he shook off with Liu Jun.

"Galeries Lafayette." The two knew about this matter, and if they objected, it would only be a dead end, and suddenly the two of them had the courage to bend down and agree with Cixi's decision.

Arthur Command. Liu Jun, who was wearing a thick military coat, folded his arms, stood in front of the map, and quietly looked at the map along the Yellow River in a daze.

Since eight o'clock yesterday morning, the Fourth Corps in Taiyuan, the Tenth Corps and the two corps of nearly 70,000 people began to cross the Yellow River in three directions at the same time, after three hours of fierce fighting, the Seventh Army of the North Road from the river meandering has repelled the Qing army, and took the Mazhen, Fugu and Xinmin in Shaanxi, and the troops who crossed the river from Hejin have now also taken Hancheng, but the troops who crossed the river from the Yuncheng area have made slow progress, although they have crossed the river, However, it entered a state of confrontation with Gan Jun of Tongguan and the fourth town of Li Yuanhong.

"Head, I think we have to take Tongguan as soon as possible, otherwise something will be wrong." Zhong Lin, who didn't know what came in, pointed to Tongguan and said worriedly.

What's going on, Liu Jun frowned, lowered his arms and looked, he didn't understand why Zhong Lin suddenly said that.

"What's wrong, is there any movement in Xi'an?" Looking down and pondering, Liu Jun estimated that there was a problem in Xi'an.

"No, I guess." Zhong Lin shrugged.

"Why don't you go to heaven?" As soon as he heard Zhong Lin's words, Liu Jun looked Zhong Lin up and down, and he saw that he had the temperament of a god.

"By the way, a few days ago, I asked you to find out who Zhang Zhidong was talking to, and whether the imperial court and Japan had a leg of the matter?" Thinking of what was going on, Liu Jun returned to the brazier on the side and looked at Zhong Lin who came over.

"Head, you guessed it, the imperial court does have a leg with Japan." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he turned around and took out a telegram from the folder he had put aside and handed it to Liu Jun: "Look, this is their relevant content. ”

Opening the file, Liu Jun saw that it was densely packed with words, and immediately frowned, Zhong Lin knew that Liu Jun was very interested in this.

"Head, the people Zhang Zhidong met with some time ago are indeed Japanese, and the purpose of Zhang Zhidong meeting them is to let Japan send troops to attack us, so that we can suffer the enemy on our backs."

"This **** Zhang Zhidong, doesn't he know that this is betraying the country?" As soon as he heard that Zhang Zhidong was actually meeting Japan for this matter, he immediately put the document in his hand on the coffee table next to him and began to insult him.

This, Zhong Lin swallowed his saliva, and when he saw where Liu Jun was scolding, he couldn't interject himself, so he could only stare dryly.

"Go and arrange for someone to do it for Lao Tzu." After insulting, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin, who was drinking tea, and stretched out his hand to make a motion to wipe his neck.

With a pop, the tea that Zhong Lin hadn't swallowed suddenly squirted out.

"What the are you doing?" Liu Jun wiped the water droplets from his face and glared at Zhong Lin.

"Head, I've always wanted to say that Zhang Zhidong told us about this matter, and you killed him like this."

How is it possible, Liu Jun showed a look of disbelief, since Zhang Zhidong was against it, why did he still see the Japanese, and he also needed to discuss the issue of sending troops to the Japanese, which was clearly a contradictory matter.

Seeing that Liu Jun didn't believe it, Zhong Lin stood up: "Head, it's true, I haven't gotten any news since I ordered Shanxi Station to immediately investigate the situation, last night, Nie Linlin from Beijing Station sent a telegram saying that his father got a letter from Xi'an, which recorded these things in detail, according to Nie Linlin, after his father looked at it, he determined that this was Zhang Zhidong's note. ”

"Wait, you said that the imperial court wants Japan to send troops to attack us, is that what the imperial court has offered?" Liu Jun frowned, he didn't believe that Japan would be so kind, this time he would definitely open his mouth, and he would definitely not stop if he didn't slaughter Cixi fiercely.

"Head, I think it's better for you not to know, save you from being angry." Zhong Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said seriously.

, Lao Tzu is such a person who gets angry so easily. Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin and immediately snorted coldly. Pick up the tongs next to you, pick up a piece of charcoal and put it into the burning brazier

"Say, I'm not angry."

"The condition for Japan to send troops is that after sending troops, it will cede Taiwan, this piece, Liaodong, and Northeast China to Japan." Zhong Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Liu Jun, who was fiddling with the tongs on the side, worried that he would be thunderous again.

It's weird, how did his head change today, Zhong Lin's eyes widened, he didn't see Liu Jun getting angry.

Silence, silence throughout the office.

Click...... Click...... Click.

In the office, the sound of tongs being plucked harshly remembered.

"Go, let Li He come and see me." A calm voice came out of Liu Jun's mouth faintly.

The new book "Revenge and Hate through the Late Qing Dynasty" is being released.
