Back in the camp, Yishan had a smile on his face, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, with your ingenuity, you should be able to understand the arrest of the people. At present, only by using such a method can we solve the problem of Sankouting, and then promote the defeat of the Russian army and Li Zhen, and solve the cancer of Li Zhen. For the sake of final victory, the sacrifice of the people is worthwhile. ”

"Value, what value?"

Zhang Zhidong had a sneering expression and said in a deep voice: "Aren't the lives of the people valuable?" They keep to themselves, don't cause trouble, don't seek great wealth and wealth, just seek peace and security. They toiled hard to supply food to the Qing Dynasty and food to the officials. If there are no people, what will the officials eat? What did the emperor eat? Where does the money come from in the treasury? All these are supported by the people. Without the people, is there still a state? Can a country that has given up all its people be called a country? Absurd, simply ridiculous. ”

Zhang Zhidong was angry and vented all the stuffiness in his heart.

He looked at Yishan, and his eyes showed undisguised disdain.

That look stimulated Yishan's little heart.

Yishan's expression was gloomy, his sleeves flicked, and he said in a cold voice: "Mr. Zhang, remember your duty, this matter is over, and we will not discuss it again." You don't need to interfere in the arrest of the people, I will send generals to carry it out. You stay in the camp and think carefully about how to defeat Muravyov and Li Zhen and achieve our goal of recovering Vladivostok. That's what you're supposed to do. ”

After finishing speaking, Yishan flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.

As soon as he got up, he thought that this was his camp, and secretly scolded him for being confused, and let Zhang Zhidong leave.

After Zhang Zhidong returned to the camp, he shouted, "Someone! ”

As the words fell, a soldier walked in. Although this soldier was wearing the uniform of a soldier in the Yishan Army, he was Zhang Zhidong's henchman and a soldier of the Sharp Knife Battalion under Li Zhen, who was installed by Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong ordered: "You are guarding outside, no one will be allowed to enter, even if Yishan comes, you have to notify me first." ”

"Yes!"

The soldier turned to leave, and Zhang Zhidong took out the letter paper and wrote the letter in ink.

Zhang Zhidong wrote out Muravyov's ruthless strategy and asked Li Zhen to prepare as soon as possible.

Because Zhang Zhidong still doesn't know what Li Zhen will plan? Whether he would sit back and watch the people be killed, or whether he would open the gates and retreat, it was impossible to determine. Therefore, Zhang Zhidong did not propose what to do, but just wrote down the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly, reported it to Li Zhen, and let Li Zhen handle it himself. In addition, there are Peng Yulin in the barracks, as well as Long Xi, Lu Shaochuan and others, so Zhang Zhidong is not worried that Li Zhen can't think of a way.

The main question depends on what Li Zhen plans.

After writing the letter, Zhang Zhidong called the soldier in, handed the letter to the soldier, and said solemnly: "This letter writes the latest situation. After dark, you quietly left the barracks and rushed to the Sankou Pavilion to hand over the letter to the prince. Remember, except for the prince, who can't read it, understand? ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it."

The soldier nodded solemnly, his expression serious and serious.

He waved his hand, and the soldier withdrew.

On this day, Yishan and Muravyov sent a large army to attack the surrounding villages to capture the civilians. Groups of Russian soldiers were dispatched, and groups of Qing soldiers were dispatched, and the two armies went in different directions.

At night, the Sankou Pavilion is brightly lit and the torches dispel the darkness.

On the city tower, Li Zhen has not rested.

The soldiers rushed to the Sankou Pavilion, saw Long Xi, and immediately said, "Lord Long, I have something urgent to see the prince." ”

Long Xi confirmed the identity of the soldier and led the soldier towards Li Zhen's study.

When Li Zhen saw the soldier, he raised his eyebrows. He knew this soldier because the soldier sent to protect Zhang Zhidong was arranged by Li Zhen. Now that it was the first time he saw the soldiers around Zhang Zhidong come back, Li Zhen knew that something important had happened.

The soldier took out the letter from his bosom and said, "Lord Wang, everything that Lord Zhang has to say is inside. ”

Li Zhen opened the letter and browsed it.

After watching a part, Li Zhen's expression had become extremely solemn.

"Bastard, Muravyov for the dog's day, Yishan for the dog's day. Fuck, they're all bastards. Li Zhen was full of swear words, snorting angrily, his eyes flashed with rage, and he wanted to tear Muravyov and Yishan alive. Li Zhen stood up and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back.

When Long Xi heard one swear word after another, the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking that there were so many swear words today!

After a while, Li Zhen looked at Long Xi and ordered: "Immediately notify Peng Yulin, Lu Shaochuan and others, and start a meeting immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Long Xi had doubts in his heart and immediately went to give the order.

The soldiers went down to rest and waited for Li Zhen to reply.

Soon, Peng Yulin, Lu Shaochuan, Yang Luchan and others all rushed to Li Zhen's study, and these people all asked what happened to Long Xi, but they didn't know the results, so they looked at Li Zhen one by one, waiting for Li Zhen to reveal the mystery.

Li Zhen picked up the letter and shook it, very angry.

He slapped the letter on the desk and said, "Zhang Zhidong sent back the news that Muravyov's old thing ordered the arrest of the people in the surrounding villages, and Yishan Na Dog Day agreed. The two were in cahoots, and during the day, they had already arrested some civilians and imprisoned them in the barracks. They are going to arrest for two days, which means that there will be one more day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will drive all the arrested people to Sankouting and threaten me to open the gate. If I don't open the door, Muravyov will kill 500 people. If you don't agree one day, kill five hundred, and if you don't agree for ten days, kill five thousand. Muravyov's old thing can't take the three-mouth pavilion, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry to mess around. Tell me, what should I do? ”

The voice fell, and no one present spoke.

Muravyov's plan was too ruthless.

Li Zhen continued: "Think about what to do? It is necessary to reply to Zhang Zhidong as soon as possible. ”

Peng Yulin asked rhetorically: "Lord Wang, if you don't take care of the people......

As soon as the words came out, Li Zhen directly interrupted: "I will definitely not ignore the people, when I was in Vladivostok, I once said that I would not abandon the people, this sentence is not an official word, it is the truth from my heart." As soon as the Russian army threatened the lives of the civilians, I immediately led the troops to retreat and abandon the Sankou Pavilion. Therefore, the current consideration is to protect the people and thwart Muravyov's plot. ”

Lu Shaochuan said: "It's too difficult, there is only one way back." ”

Long Xi said: "This thing is indeed not easy. ”

Peng Yulin thought carefully and did not speak.

Li Zhen's eyes fell on Peng Yulin and asked, "Old Peng, what do you think?" ”

Peng Yulin pondered for a moment and replied: "Lord Wang, it is not impossible to solve the matter of Muravyov's holding the people hostage, there is a certain amount of room for maneuver. It not only ensures the safety of the people, but also solves the difficulties they are currently facing. ”

Li Zhen perked up and said, "What do you think?" ”
