The train traveled from Shandong to Shaanxi, adding coal and water along the way, and with the current capacity of the Gonghe Zhengfu, it was impossible to keep it secret. There are countless loopholes in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, which will lead to the route of action of the troops, the time of the pit stop, and fall into the hands of Guo Jian. However, Zhao Guanhou also has his own views on the leakage of news.

Shandong has made a lot of friends in the past few years, and there are also many enemies, among which the most likely to do this is Tiele. But Tiele's intelligence ability in Shandong is not high, and the chaos in the country is getting worse and worse, so he doesn't seem to be a person who can do such a thing.

Moreover, Tieler's intelligence agency in the northwest region had actually contacted him not long ago and was willing to assist the Lu army and fight against the Shaanxi army together. This time, the two armies were broken in a row, and Cao and Gao's troops did not move, which was also the result of Tiele's forces in the northwest.

In addition to them, another group of people is Fusang.

First of all, the development of light industry in Shandong had an impact on the export of light industry in Fusang, and the local chaebol in Fuso was very hostile to the forces in Shandong. Unlike the Gonghe, the chaebol capitalists are extremely powerful in the country, and to some extent, can even manipulate the country's policies. Both the military and the political circles have their spokesmen.

Because Shandong insisted on engaging in commercial competition with Fusang, its intelligence agencies in Shandong have been secretly engaged in anti-Zhao operations since the reunification. Although Yuqing's department is not external to the outside world, it has the cooperation of Albiang, and it is also very clear about Fusang's small actions.

Due to the overall situation and the fact that this institution does not have much impact on him, Zhao Guanhou has always turned a blind eye to it, but this time, he decided to make a heavy move.

In the tent, Cheng Yue, who had already changed into a satin leather jacket, carefully held a porcelain cup and handed it to Zhao Guanhou, and what was placed in it was a bowl of chicken soup boiled by five watches. This is Feng Xi's craft, which was handed over by Su Hanzhi in the past, but now she can take this position on her behalf, which is a great blessing for her.

Watching her husband drink a bowl of chicken soup, Cheng Yue's heart warmed first, and she sat down next to her husband and replied to the situation in Shandong.

"Shanxi's two co-salaries before and after, a total of 1.5 million taels of silver, and Liangjiang's co-salaries, is 800,000 yuan, compared with our expenses, although we still can't make ends meet, but the loss is not too big. According to the calculation of ten grids, if the battle can be completed at the beginning of spring, our losses can be controlled within one million. ”

Her face flushed slightly, and her husband's hand held her hand, which was originally a very ordinary intimacy between husband and wife, but for her, it was a rare warmth since she became married. Feeling her husband's hand and gently stroking her hair, Cheng Yue was as nervous as a wedding night, and didn't know what to do, so she only whispered: "Master......"

"Don't listen to Shigege, I want to hear you say, do you think our loss is big?"

"The master's decision is naturally right, the concubines and women should only obey the order and dare not say a word."

"I want you to say it, you just have to say it. I know you're not a fool at home, and I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

"What if...... If it is summer, although our expenses are large, but the provinces should also have the co-payment, and the concubine thinks about it, two million will be the top. Although this loss is very large, Shandong can still afford it...... Besides, our things can be sold to Shaanxi, and we can make money slowly. ”

After saying this, Cheng Yue suddenly realized that she was opposing Shigege, and hurriedly apologized, "The concubine doesn't understand anything, it's nonsense." Don't blame me, sir. ”

did not fall in the slap, but was held in his arms by Zhao Guanhou and said with a smile:

"You're right, how can you call it nonsense? Although Yuqing is smarter than you, there are also things she can't see. For example, the circulation of Lu made goods, as well as Lu tickets, this is a good thing. Moreover, Shaanxi is poor in everything, but it has one advantage, that is, there are enough people. These manpower are wealth. Two million silver, less than five million reckless tickets, where to buy back so many people. ”

Zhao Guanhou hugged Cheng Yue as he spoke, the latter's face was flushed, panting, and in a moment of confusion, he looked sideways, but saw that it was a telegram manuscript on the case. But when I look at the content, I don't know what it's about. Before she could open her mouth to ask, her husband was enthusiastic and blocked all the questions.

When the telegram was sent to Shandong, Yuqing was about to enter the delivery room, and the girl who delivered the telegram was also a flag person, not very old, and very smart. is considered a confidant cultivated by Yuqing, she took the telegram, and was very hesitant, not knowing whether to give it to his wife at this time.

Seeing her like this, Yumeiren stepped forward and said, "Now there is no one at home, I will take care of the handsome housekeeper." I don't ask about your business, I'll remind you that if you miss the official affairs of the handsome, ten grids will not spare you. Now is not the time of Qianjin, she wants to kill you, that is, a matter of words. ”

The little girl's face changed, and she hurriedly ran in and read the contents of the telegram in Shigege's ear. It was a string of meaningless sentences: "A cup of Tiele tea." No jam or orange peel marmalade, season with honey......"

Yuqing was tormented by fetal movement at this time, although she had already given birth to a fat girl, she was still sweating profusely at this time. The nun in charge of the delivery was about to drive the maid out, but Yuqing gritted her teeth and called her, "Come here, send a telegram to Tanaka Yu for me, just say two words, and do ......."

The Tanaka Jade Brigade was stationed in Rizhao at this time, and the work it was engaged in was a drudgery that made his subordinates complain more than once: repairing fortifications. Fortifications, moats and fortresses. He couldn't figure out what was the significance of Zhao Guanhou investing a lot of money and requisitioning a large number of manpower and material resources to repair these things in Shandong. But this is a commander's order, and it must be carried out unconditionally.

The admiration of the people of Shandong for Zhao Guanhou and the treatment of the people by the Lu army allowed them to devote all their energy to carrying out their orders. Under the severe cold, the progress of the project was still maintained, and a strong line of defense was built with blood and sweat.

While the project is in progress, there are always some people watching in the form of caravans or other names. Although Tanaka Yu himself does not understand intelligence work, he has been in the army for a long time, and he always has this kind of vision. The identities of those people are not difficult to check, but if you want to move them, you must consider the balance of forces of all parties, and you can't act rashly.

Several subordinates complained because the weather was too cold and they didn't take enough annual leave

"It's still the fate of the Xia family's buddies, and there is a father who is the director of finance, and he actually got into the navy. It's the same as eating food and being a soldier, and now the navy is better than our infantry. I heard that the monthly military salary is twice as much as ours, and the food is good. There is fresh fish to eat, we can only eat salted fish. In winter, when the sea freezes, people can take a vacation and play in the city every day, and then they live a fairy-like life. ”

Tanaka Yu glanced at a few people, "If you don't want to do this with me, you can also go to the navy." If you can be like the Xia family buddies, you can play with those paddle steamers well, and you can repair those two big wheels, and I will write you a letter of recommendation. If not, you can go, as long as you want to, you can go. I have a relationship with the navy, so I'll make sure you have a job of brushing the toilet and mopping the floor, no problem! ”

Several subordinates smiled awkwardly, "No...... It doesn't mean that. We're nothing, we're just a little bit upset about the brigade commander. Why do you send troops this time, Shang Quan can go, we can't go, we have to stay here as coolies......"

"You know a ball! The burden on our bodies is heavy, this is ......" It's been a long time, Tanaka Yu still swallowed back the words behind it, and waved his hand impatiently, "Tell you, cheer me up." Dashuai's clever calculation is not something we can predict. This fortification must be useful. There are also those few fine works, keep an eye on me! ”

"It's useless to keep an eye on it, people are Fusang people, and we can't catch ......"

"You're tired of being alive, aren't you?" Tanaka Yu's eyes rolled, and several subordinates hurriedly fled out in fright, at this moment, the orderly had already run in from outside, and stood up and saluted, "Report to the brigade, Jinan is calling." ”

That night, dozens of businessmen mysteriously disappeared in Shandong, and vicious incidents occurred in two warehouses. A group of bandits attacked the warehouses and engaged in a skirmish with the owner of the warehouse, killing and wounding each other, but in the end, it was the bandits who were overwhelmingly outnumbered and captured all the merchants.

Fusang did not have a consul in Shandong, so he could only protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Fuso minister in the capital. He demanded a thorough investigation of the case and an explanation to the Fuso businessman. Yuan Weiting's Fusang staff also lobbied vigorously to send an investigation team to Shandong. Yuan Weiting did not object to this, and allowed Fusang to send someone to go, and only muttered at night when he talked to Shen Jinying at night:

"I've never seen a tendon like that of a Fuso person. They were all killed once, and they had to send people to die again. They still don't know about the situation in Shandong? Guanhou was really angry, and he wanted to avenge his brothers, and no matter how many Fusang people went, there was no return. ”

Shen Jinying smiled and said: "This is also the majesty of your president." Since the former Jin to the present, our country, when has it negotiated with foreigners, it has not been so majestic. It's not the face that the crown marquis earns for you. ”

"Yes, he did earn enough face for me, this time I fought well in the northwest, and after he leveled the five route soldiers, I won't treat him badly."

"It's not just not a bad treat, but you also have to support him. For example, if you help the Sang people, you can't do what they want. Anyway, this is also our country, if everything depends on the faces of foreigners, you, the big president, where to put your face. ”

That's what I said, but how to do it, I have to think of a way. can't be hard topped, Fusang people are not easy to offend. If Guanhou kills their people, I will give them face, otherwise the Fusang people will not go down the steps, and there will really be a big mess. ”

As he spoke, he laughed, "Guo Jian, the white wolf, they actually didn't die, and they went to touch the train of Aunt Zhao's wife." Guanhou's temperament is like this, whoever touches his woman, he will definitely die. Guo Jian had already committed a taboo before, and this time he committed it again, his qi count, ...... to the end"

Outside Huayin City, the area that was originally controlled by Guo Jun has now all flown the banner of the Lu Army. Huayin County, like the previous Qiangbai, was besieged by the Lu army.

The difference is that the city defense of Huayin is far stronger than that of Qiangbai, and there are even artillery emplacements on the city. Several Hongyi cannons in the former Jin era, erected on them, and Guo Jun, who was on guard with guns, nervously looked at the Lu army outside the city, beware of an attack they might launch at any time.

Since the defeat of Tongguan Hall, the Lu army was killed at the end of the rank, almost into Huayin County. Thanks to several counter-assaults and stabilizing the situation, the city gate was closed. Huayin is considered an important place, far stronger than Qiangbailai, and the savings of Guo's army after the sack of Chang'an are enough to support the army's expenses for several months.

Although under siege, Guo Jun's morale is not bad, and Guo Jun, who experienced the Battle of Chang'an, admired Guo Jian very much, and decided that with his leadership, he would definitely not lose. No matter how tense the situation is, it always turns the corner in the end. Moreover, people in the green forest, being besieged and pursued, are common, and now after all, they are in the city, and the Lu army is in the wild, and if they continue to confront, they will not suffer a loss.

However, the high-level leaders of the Salvation Monarch in the city are not as optimistic as the people below. Tongguan was defeated again, in addition to the loss of a considerable number of troops, the loss of several fierce generals in the generals made Guo Jian feel even more distressed. His subordinates can be recruited at any time, but the generals who charge into battle on the battlefield and are willing to die are all old brothers who followed him down from Huanglong Mountain and fought in all directions, including his own relatives and clansmen. Die one less one, this loss, just like he lost Yang Yuzhu, made him sleepless all night.

The originally extremely heroic man became a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he lost a lot of weight. He is not the only woman Yang Yuzhu, in Qiangbai and Chang'an, he plundered several famous and talented women, and even forced them to death. As long as he wants, there will naturally be women, but these women can't get close to his heart and can't comfort him.

It would be nice if Yuzhu was there. Guo Jian thought that she would definitely be able to liberate herself and make her mood feel comfortable. This woman has such magical power, and in just a few words, she can make people forget their sorrows and troubles. Sing a few more words to yourself, and you can forget about the damned Lu army outside the city. It's a pity that the beauty is nowhere to be found, even if he wants to apologize and admit his mistakes to her when no one is around, confess his heart to her, and confess that he has no suspicion in his heart, and he has no chance.

The rumbling cannon sounded, and the artillery of the Lu army had rushed to the outside of Huayin City from the rear one after another, and began to declare their existence with artillery. The walls were not so easy to destroy, and the power of these cannons could not penetrate the city, but the headquarters was still safe. But being shelled continuously and not being able to fight back always makes people feel unhappy.

The consequences of the defeat of Tongguan were more obvious, although there were still many people in the city, but they were broken by the Lu army and did not dare to go out to the field. The positions outside the city were all abandoned by the Shaanxi army and lost to the Lu army. Now that the Lu army has set up artillery positions outside the city, no one dares to take them.

What's more, after Tongguan in World War II, Guo Jian also roughly had a fixed opinion that it was impossible for his troops to get a bargain from the Lu army with the same strength. It's not just a matter of weaponry. The gap between the soldiers on both sides is not something that can be bridged by weapons.

In the people's army, there are still some generals who can fight tough battles, such as Bai Lang and his subordinates, who have also proposed more than once to fight out of the city and destroy the artillery positions of the Lu army. But these proposals were all rejected by Guo Jian.

At present, the city has two feet of food and ammunition, and it is not a problem to support it for two or three months. On the contrary, the Lu army was stationed outside the city, and as long as it was a cold spring, it would be enough for them to pay a huge price.

Under the premise of confrontation, the situation is still in their favor. Moreover, although the Jing and Zhang armies were destroyed, the Cao and Gao armies were both there. If the three forces can join forces, they may still be able to fight against the Lu army.

Wang Tianzong, Bai Lang, and Hu Yunyi were all gathered in front of the map to compare and draw, and they didn't have a very good opinion on the joint force plan. Jing Xia Demon is the soul of the Five-Way Alliance, and even the five-way joint attack plan he organized has failed, and another attack is just a humiliation.

Several people were thinking about how to use the existing strength at hand to deal with the Lu army. Or wait for change, or organize troops to break through, and then march to Sichuan according to the predetermined plan.

After the defeat of Tongguan, the Zhensong army was the first to withdraw from the battlefield, and the establishment was the most intact. He pointed to the map and said:

The brothers below were a little tired and wanted to go home and have a look. As you know, my brothers are all from Henan, and they have left their homes and land, and they can talk about it themselves, and there is still a family at home. In the past, no matter how long I went out, I could always go home to see, but now I am reluctant to leave my hometown. If I don't appease them, I'm afraid I'm going to mutiny. In my opinion, let's go out first, and then talk about what we have to say. When the time comes, it is better to occupy another city, or to fight again in another place, than to defend here. The officers and soldiers have cut off their salaries, and we have no foreign aid, and when we run out of food, we still have to break through the siege. It's better to break out early than late. ”

Guo Jian shook his head and said, "Big brother, my brother is going to shake his head." The brothers were homesick, paid some military salaries, and if they didn't succeed, they would kill a few people, and they could always keep the team. Now that the weather is freezing and the troops have too few cotton clothes, where will they go to get warm when they leave the county seat? When the spring flowers bloom, we don't need to be urged, we have to leave. As for now, the number of winners and losers is still unknown. Our five-way coalition army is against Yuan, one is to have Yunnan Cai Inspector as a support, and the other is that we, the heroes in Guanzhong, have never been afraid of death! From the former Jin to the present, the uprising failed, and the head was killed. The dead sleep, and the living, look for an opportunity to continue the uprising. That's how it has come over for so many years, and it's the same now. Don't look at the defeat of the two soldiers, the gentlemen in Guanzhong, don't be afraid! Come! ”

The orderly sent paper and pen, Guo Jian held the pen in his hand, splashed ink, and a letter was obtained in an instant. "Zhao thief attacks me, you thief doesn't care, if my thief dies, you thief is not far away." There were only two words "Guo thief" and then ordered: "Someone, send the letter to Puxian, and find Cao Xiucai to ask for soldiers!" (To be continued.) )
