The horse team sprinkled out of the tun of the Gao family's shack in a hurry, stepping on the ice and splashing the snow, and the horses' hooves clanged loudly.

Walking in front was a green cloth bun with a head and a slippery scout wearing sheepskin jackets. Chen Bin led the team forward, and the guy in his hand was also replaced by a five-son Yangma gun, carrying a ghost-headed machete on his back, and he was murderous.

These scouts first spread out five or six hundred paces, forming the scattered star array in their mouths, and sparsely spread their wings and moved forward. With a shrill wooden flute in his mouth, he will send back the news from before him at any time. If it wasn't a warning but a sneak attack, they would gallop back and bring the slip back.

These men are the toughest of the horse thieves, and they can run hard. The eyes are poisonous, the movements are fast, and the marksmanship is accurate. It's not the time to fight for the old book, it's often these slick scouts who do everything they do.

The Chinese army following behind these scouts is Du Qilin's old battalion, the main force that has always been commanded by Jiang Ziming. They are all on horseback, but they can dismount and fight on foot. It was they who played cover, and it was also them who smashed the kiln with the main force. Jiang Ziming used the Ministry of Justice to strangle this old battalion, and there were banner orders for advancing and retreating, which was very different from other horse thieves. At the peak of this old battalion, I am afraid that there are more than 1,000 people, and it is a team that can fight bravely with the Yi army and other soldiers who are entering the army. Now, in order to recruit security, the remaining 400 people are carefully selected, all of whom are strong men and stand out when they look at them. Half of the equipped Mauser has nine rings and thirteen bangs. There are also half of the guns that are a little messy, but they are also breech-loading fast guns such as Remington, Winchester, and Burmai. It is similar to the general equipment level of training at that time.

Xu Yifan's more than 20 remnants, Goshha brought fifteen, and the other six or seven stayed in the Gao family's shack to protect their relatives. Their small team is with the old battalion. Xu Yifan didn't do the stupid thing of sending Goshha down to be the new junior officer of the old battalion. The first time these charlatans voted, it was the time when they were full of eagerness and apprehension. It is also a self-contained system, rashly sending people down, not only commanding but also making others think that they are about to be swallowed and digested. simply let Jiang Ziming be in charge of the main command of this battle.

The old camp was followed by an apse, and the horse thieves came and went not without order. There are sentinels in front and an apse in the back. It's just to look at the back road, if the limelight is not right, the person in front can withdraw the fuck. When you are a horse thief, the first thing you need to do is to be able to escape! The apse was sometimes responsible for collecting and collecting grain, negotiating prices with gunners, and building relationships with insurance teams along the way. This time, for the sake of safety, more than 100 people in this apse team also pulled up. Dai Junwei was aggrieved, and a horse was looking forward and backward to look inside the Chinese army, so he looked forward to showing a small face in front of Xu Yifan again.

The team was all pulled out, and they were ready to fight the Goryeo horse thieves found by Chen Bin.

It's not that Xu Yifan is small, so he has to take revenge. But he must figure out where these Koreans came from, why they want to deal with him, and how to grasp his whereabouts! The Goryeo horse thieves of more than 100 people dared to attack and kill the ministers of the Qing Dynasty. also had a relationship with his pair of Korean maids. They are not caravans, they are not pedestrians. Dozens of heavily armed horse teams were attacked by a well-orchestrated surprise attack. There is no attempt behind it, Xu Yifan believes it even if he is killed!

He is now in North Korea, and his roots are temporarily in North Korea, and he is surrounded by enemies on all sides. is still holding back the danger and making trouble, ready to give the Qing Dynasty and Beiyang a good look! There is another mysterious team of sticks and horses, and maybe some force will be added. His burden is really a hundred pounds.

As soon as Chen Bin's news came back, Xu Yifan immediately took the case and cleaned them up! Ask them why they are dealing with him Xu Yifan!

Chu Wanli didn't say anything at that time, he and Xu Yifan thought of one thing. And Du Qilin seems to have made up his mind, relying on his son-in-law to enjoy happiness in the future, and not to ask about foreign affairs. Everything is a nod, Jiang Ziming made it a little more detailed, although he did not dare to disobey Xu Yifan's order. But Gao Tao was also brought in, and he was familiar with people nearby, and asked him if he knew that there was such a large team of Korean horse thieves, and whether there was any rumor on the road.

Gao Tao was snorting for a long time at that time.

"There are a lot of Korean Flower Horse teams, but they are mostly in stock with our Daqing Flower Horse team. In this way, the flower horse team comes and goes, and we will go to North Korea if the wind is tight here, and if the wind is tight in North Korea, we will go back to our Daqing Customs. It's rare to have a horse team with such a pure stick! Besides...... There are still hundreds of miles away from Jilin, and those Huama teams mixed with the Qing Dynasty and Goryeo are all operating only a hundred miles to the left of the border, how did they come here? More daring to deal with adults? It doesn't make sense! ”

Xu Yifan's heart was just depressed, it had not been good recently, Beiyang bullied him, the court was holding back to deal with him, and there was a Jia Wu hanging not far away. He's already tried his best to deal with it, and now he's got a bunch of sticks to bully! He suppressed himself just now, and first finished the big matter of appeasing Du Qilin and them. Now that I have half of my heart, the fire is even more irrepressible.

"Fuck it! When Lao Tzu is a soft persimmon, everyone comes up and pinchs it? Lao Tzu will kill North Korea again, and his eyes will not blink again! He picked up the whip that was resting on the edge of the kang table.

"What about the two little North Korean girls? When the horse thief is coming! Lao Tzu didn't believe it, and the mouths of the two little girls couldn't be pried open! Which way fairy, ride on the head to! ”

When he was screaming so loudly that he was ready to bully a girl who was a circle younger than him. Chu Wanli grabbed his arm: "My lord, everything is coming, you must have calm...... Don't mess with your own minds. It's easy to get angry, but you still have to do things, right? Bullying women, we haven't fallen for the sake of being down. ”

When Xu Yifan heard this, he withdrew his hand, put down the horsewhip, and patted Chu Wanli's shoulder. Recently, I've been overusing my brain, and I've been under too much mental pressure, and I've lost my temper. In the final analysis, although he embarked on this road, he was just a small white-collar worker back then. He looked at Chu Wanli, a little jealous. How can this kid be calm and breezy at any time? Hee-hee-ha......-ha But in the end, he didn't pick up this burden after all......

Looking at Xu Yifan's appearance, there is a way to humiliate the ministers to death. Not to mention Jiang Ziming, Dai Jun, and Chen Bin, these talents are effective, this is a man who has to make meritorious contributions to self-consolidation! Immediately, Dai Jun slapped the table and stood up, enthusiastic and enthusiastic: "Fuck it!" ”

Chen Bin is not far behind: "Lao Tzu's slippery scouts will clean them up!" Want to run after wiping your mouth? The scoop kang has to lose two dollars down! ”

Jiang Ziming also nodded: "As soon as the adults give the order, let's go, don't give them time to react!" They thought there were only about 20 adults left, but they didn't know that there were hundreds of our new brothers! The Koreans want to spread wild in our place, it's too early for 800 years! ”

Everyone was expressing their determination, and Gao Tao seemed to have remembered something, and he didn't dare to say it. Xu Yifan had already calmed down, looked at his embarrassed appearance, and glared at him: "What do you want to say, say it!" ”

Gao Tao panicked and hit a thousand again: "Back to the words of adults, I have heard the wind recently." Those above the border have sticks and horses, and many of them are making trouble. It was said that there was some Korean minister in the country who came to appease them. A stick merchant who used to look at us to sell Korean ginseng once seemed to say......"

"Say what?" But it was Chu Wanli's rare serious speech.

“…… It is said that a group of loyal ministers in North Korea have fallen into trouble, and now the country is in charge of annihilation. They want to recover the rivers and mountains...... Many of the flower horse teams of that year were dismissed in the year of Renwu and a large number of old military reformers, and now they want to go back to protect the country and protect their loyal ministers...... He also said that those loyal ministers were wronged. Dayuanjun is dedicated to our Qing Dynasty, and if he dies, it will be over. Daqing a fart...... Not a word of justice was said. General Nanda died for the king, and his daughter was also in trouble! At the beginning, the old army was changed to the flower horse team, which was presided over by General Nanda, and now they want to rescue the general's daughter......"

Xu Yifan and Chu Wanli glanced at each other like lightning.

The recent turmoil in North Korea has been caused by them! If because of this, these down-and-out old ministers will not be wronged when they find them. But ...... There may not be no opportunities to take advantage of!

Seeing that Xu Yifan's eyes seemed to have brought out the knife, Chu Wanli shook his head and waved his hand busily: "You are in charge, you are in charge!" You have an idea, I don't think about anything, my mind is blank......"

Xu Yifan was angry and funny, but in the end he sighed: "This is a risk, and a risk......"

"I'm afraid it's just a risk, a risk, right......" Chu Wanli had already flashed to the side, and added slowly.

Anyway, my plan is to be shameless, my pants are off, what are you doing there? Xu Yifan has struggled all the way to the present, whether there are any other changes, and whether the king's domineering spirit is more sufficient. But there is already the ability to make decisions that you must have as a leader! In the midst of chaos and rugged roads, you must have the ability to make decisions!

"Isn't that the square of the risk? Well, come on, don't let Lao Tzu settle down, Lao Tzu simply turn the whole of North Korea upside down! ”

He turned his head sharply to Jiang Ziming, Dai Jun, Chen Bin and the three of them: "Now listen to my orders!" Lord Jiang, as soon as you dispatch troops and arrange operations, you are completely responsible, and I only ask for one result. Capture those guys, not a single one left, for Lao Tzu! This is your first credit, plus the credit for the future. Did you see Lord Chu? Master Jiang, the top of your head will not be much worse than his! The other two will also be eight-seater generals! What else to say no? ”

A sentence of Lord Jiang called Jiang Ziming with mixed feelings, bowed down with Chen Bin and Dai Jun, and replied loudly: "Follow your lord's orders!" There's just death! He raised his head sharply, but subconsciously glanced at Du Qilin, who was sitting upright on the side.

This tycoon who was all over the rivers and lakes back then just turned his head slightly.

"Yang Shixiang's car has left Seoul and is heading straight for Pyongyang! Take the official road, calculate the mileage, but within seven or eight days you will reach Pyongyang! ”

In the signing room of Xu Yifan's Office of the Minister of Military Training. A few people stayed behind to guard the heavy generals, sitting or standing. They all listened to the news of the return with a serious face.

After Xu Yifan left, he handed over all the military and political power here to Tang Shaoyi and Li Yunzhong, two civil and military personnel. Zhan Tianyou and Yuan Shikai can't make decisions, but they can counsel the military aircraft. In order to deal with Xu Yifan, the imperial court and Beiyang have completely blocked the news from him. In Seoul, Xu Yifan originally had a small office to carry telegrams between the two sides. As a result, this office has long been taken down and monitored. The telegram sent by the imperial court to Xu Yifan to apologize would never be forwarded to Pyongyang. just wanted to give him the biggest sudden surname, so that he could only hand over the military power before he had time to arrange everything.

The imperial court and Beiyang also knew that it was impossible to completely block Xu Yifan's news. There are so many people coming and going to North Korea, but as long as he can tolerate time and only leave him a buffer of six or seven days, then it will be too late for him to do anything, so he can only obediently comply. However, they didn't expect that Xu Yifan had guessed the crisis he was facing from Tan Sitong's words, and he had already bought for seven or eight more days!

The news transmission to Seoul was also immediately arranged for urgent delivery. Yuan Shikai had a deep relationship in Seoul, and several of his subordinates had already rushed to Seoul to carry out activities, and as soon as there was news, the fast horses arranged along the way flew to Pyongyang at a speed of 400 miles in one day and one night.

This Yang Shixiang finally arrived in Seoul, and the news of his immediate departure for the second time spread here. I'm afraid that Yang Shixiang has been on the road for two days.

Tang Shaoyi waved his hand slowly, allowing the spy to step back and rest. His gaze swept over and he looked at a person who stood still, but he just sighed and didn't speak.

Yang Shixiang really went out for Beiyang, and this errand was done very well. The storm came treacherously, and without a day of rest, he rushed to Pyongyang! What Xu Yifan told them was that within ten days, they would definitely go back and forth, and the overall arrangement would be completed, and it would take another two or three days before they could launch a big campaign. But now, I can't make up the time. When Yang Shixiang appeared in front of Xu Yifan generously, what should he do, is it really a rebellion? He followed Xu Yifan with all his heart, for the ambition in his chest, as well as glory and wealth, but not for the sake of losing his head.

The ideal is there, but it is definitely not to the point of desperation.

But...... What else can be said? Li Yunzhong stayed behind and held the military power. is to spy on these civil officials, Tang Shaoyi understands, and Xu Yifan understands even more. This Li Yan King had a well-defined and handsome face, but he gently rubbed the handle of the Western-style saber on his waist, and his eyes were cold and he didn't know what he was looking at. Tang Shaoyi didn't dare to say anything to test whether he had any other thoughts.

This person is a knife that is so fierce that he has a dry heaven and harmony, Xu Yifan polished it with his own hands and pulled out the sheath with his own hands, and the handle of the knife is only in Xu Yifan's hands!

Everything has not settled, and Xu Yifan did not step down gloomily. He could only stand on top of Xu Yifan's chariot!

Tang Shaoyi looked at Zhan Tianyou, whose face was like earth, and estimated that the two brothers had the same idea. However, this scholar is indeed the best talent in the world, but his courage is not as good as his.

At this time, he began to strongly look forward to Xu Yifan presiding over the plan here, no matter what the situation, he can always come up with a way and always be a good helmsman!

As long as Xu Yifan is here, I'm afraid I won't have any other thoughts. People will only believe that he has a way to do it......

"What should I do? Lord Lianfang arrived, but Lord Xu is afraid that he has not returned to Pyongyang yet, what should we do? ”

Tang Shaoyi finally spoke in a deep voice and listened to everyone's opinions.

The room was still silent, and I don't know how long it took before I heard Zhan Tianyou hesitantly speak: "Can't we greet Lord Yang first...... I don't mean anything else, I use the entertainment methods of officialdom to restrain him for a while, and then stuff some silver...... There is no official in Beiyang who doesn't want money, and Lord Lianfang's reputation in this regard is not necessarily good, as long as it can be delayed for a while, can it be okay to wait for the adults to come back and arrange everything? ”

Without waiting for Li Yunzong to say anything, Tang Shaoyi had already waved his hand to object: "Lord Lianfang is the mastermind of the middle hall, can he not know the seriousness of the matter?" This time, they made up their minds to deal with the Lord and the Praetorian Guard, and they must have read out the edict urging Lord Xu to leave the army...... Stuffing money, socializing, it's useless. ”

Zhan Tianyou's eyes flashed, and he just said to himself while holding his head: "If Master Xu is still here...... What kind of Northeast are you going to! I didn't dare to go along with that plan, it was too bold and too risky...... If he doesn't go, he'll still be here. With his ability, he can always come up with other ways to deal with it...... We are reluctant to give up this group and this foundation. There's always another way to think of it......"

Everyone didn't speak, Li Yunzong gritted his teeth, as if he was about to get up and speak. A short and fat figure suddenly stood up beside him, and said loudly: "Mobilize troops!" Intercept Yang Shixiang halfway! Anyway, don't let him set foot in Pyongyang for half a step, dead or alive, and let the adults come back and decide with a word! ”

Tang Shaoyi's body was crooked, this Yuan Shikai really dared to say it! Xu Yifan's original plan was to use horse thieves to cause chaos under the banner of the Dongxue Party, and the Praetorian Guards immediately distributed to various places in the name of quelling the rebellion, but in fact they refused to block Beiyang from going north. As long as he gritted his teeth and said that he still bears the responsibility of quelling the chaos in Korea, with the merits of his establishment, there is a lawsuit with Beiyang. When the imperial court makes up its mind to do something that is not easy to do, most of the half year may pass - why Xu Yifan emphasized this half year, everyone doesn't quite understand, thinking that it probably means supporting and waiting for change.

As long as there is chaos, Yang Shixiang dares to come up, and he dares to send troops to "protect" him! In case Yang Shixiang has any accidents, the incident has already been launched, and there is a place to push. If you talk about the truth that you will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, you may be able to walk through the Yanjing Gate, and then mobilize some Qingliu forces to create public opinion. Maybe you can find a way out of all difficulties!

They reluctantly accepted Xu Yifan's plan, although they felt that there were too many risks and they were too bold. But after all, it's barely reasonable. For the group, fight and fight.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai surrendered to the people, but he had to transfer troops to intercept and kill Yang Shixiang! What can be adjusted now is nothing more than the Praetorian Guard! With the imperial court guards to blatantly intercept and kill the angels of the imperial court, Yuan Shikai had the courage to wrap his body? At this time, Yang Shixiang had an accident, where could they push?

"Nonsense! You are immediately causing trouble to us and adults! Can this kind of thing be done? Do you still hold a grudge that we drove away your master Ronglu and took away your Qingjun? In vain, Lord Yu also asked you to counsel the military aircraft! There's no place for you here, step back! ”

Tang Shaoyi's face turned blue. Yuan Shikai didn't care. The short and fat body stood there upright, and there was only a kind of ruthlessness revealed in his eyes.

"So what? Is there anything else that can be done now? Yang Shixiang came up, as long as he looked at the Pyongyang camp, even if he was an adult, he would not have the power to return to heaven! He didn't expect Yang Shixiang to come so quickly! Now is the most critical time for our group! ”

"Our group? When will you Yuan Weiting count us up? ”

Tang Shaoyi's words were urgent and poisonous, he really couldn't look down on it, and he was faintly afraid of the character of Yuan Shikai. There is no smiling to be a person, not to mention, for the sake of wealth, that kind of singleness seems to be innate. Let him stand in this group now, and I don't know what kind of storm he can stir up in the future!

This heart-wrenching sentence made Yuan Shikai's body tremble, he lowered his head, and raised his head again, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"I Yuan Weiting couldn't study, and I went to Qingjun for thousands of miles in vain, so I didn't expect to go back in vain! Back then, I snatched the Qingjun and cut off the heads of three old battalion officers! I can't fight Lord Xu, I will be defeated again and again, and I will let Lord Xu take me in. The world is so big, I have nowhere to go, and now this group is the foundation of my life! You have a way out, but I have no way out! Tian Sheong ...... Except for death!

Now that the situation is urgent, do you really watch Yang Shixiang come to Pyongyang? Do you really want to see the group fall? We just need to wait for a few days for the adults to come back and host! Only transfer troops and intercept Yang Shixiang! ”

"Where did the soldiers come from? Can the Praetorian Guards intercept and kill the ministers of the imperial court? His guards are the Huai Army, under the banner of the Daotai Honor Guard, we are the imperial army, not bandits! ”

Tang Shaoyi was about to explode, and he shot the case violently.

Yuan Shikai said coldly: "We are just Lord Xu's army, he is here, we survive, he goes, we die." ”

One sentence made Tang Shaoyi sit down in a daze, and Li Yunzong just looked at all this coldly.

After a long time, Tang Shaoyi muttered and waved his hand: "We know this truth, you go and take this truth and explain it to the soldiers." Let's see if they will follow their fate......"

Yuan Shikai's eyes were like lightning: "You can draw out troops!" It is also possible to draw out officers! Give me back some of the henchmen of the former Qingjun, as long as I give an order, they will dare to do anything! I brought it all out! There are also officers brought by adults from Nanyang, and they don't have the imperial court in their minds, only adults! Five hundred people are enough to draw it out and hand it over to me, so that you can buy the adults these few days! ”

Tang Shaoyi seemed to have found a crack in the conversation, and took the case: "You want to pull your own team?" Want to set up another mountain? Sure enough, it was ill-intentioned! ”

Yuan Shikai didn't bother to refute this, but just sneered. Li Yunzong, who had been listening quietly, picked up the military hat and put it on his head, and strode out: "Bing, I'll transfer it for you, officer, I'll give you a pump." As long as you can get the errand done, hold on until the adults come back! ”

Tang Shaoyi stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold Li Yunzong, and his tone was poignant: "Lord Li! ”

Li Yunzong turned his head indifferently and pointed at Yuan Shikai: "This guy is not a good person, but he is right." We're just Lord Xu's team...... Lord Tang, we are not good people. But we are on the path we want to follow! …… Compared with ideals, defeat and death are just trivial things. ”

In the sound of riding boots hitting the ground, Li Yunzhong's always straight figure went away. Yuan Shikai silently saluted Tang Shaoyi and followed.

Tang Shaoyi slowly turned to Zhan Tianyou, and Zhan Tianyou, who was already stunned, was startled when he came into contact with Tang Shaoyi's eyes! In the blink of an eye, Tang Shaoyi's eyes were already full of bloodshots, and she looked a little crazy.

"Daren, accept your fate, we have no way back!"
