After Ren Chao came out of Li Hongzhang's mansion, he returned to his temporary residence and slept well, last night in the middle of the fierce battle, Ren Chao did not sleep all night, at this time he was already exhausted, and fell asleep with his head on the pillow, and he slept until the afternoon before waking up.
Ren Chao's current residence is a courtyard of Prince Gong Yi 60, because Ren Chao has no place to live in Beijing, Yi 60 gave this house to Ren Chao to live. The yard is not too big, but it is quiet. Because the wounded of the Tiger Ben Army had nowhere to place, Ren Chao placed all the wounded in this courtyard, at this time, inside and outside the courtyard, everywhere was filled with the seriously wounded of the Tiger Ben Army, and the wounded of the Tiger Ben Army were also increasing day by day.
After Ren Chao woke up, he immediately asked someone to bring him a basin of washing water, and the cold well water was applied to his face, which immediately lifted Ren Chao's spirits. Ren Chao hurriedly washed his face twice, took the towel that the guard lowered and wiped it, and asked casually, "This little devil is quite honest today!" ”
"Honestly! This little devil was scared by us, how can he not be honest! However, after we hung the head of the black wood on the flagpole, some little devils wanted to snatch the head back, but naturally they did not succeed, and all the more than 100 little devils were killed! The guard said with a smile.
"I didn't expect this black wood's head to have this effect, it's better to attract a bunch of little devils to come over and send them to death, the more the better, we are in charge of killing and buriing!" Ren Chao said with a laugh.
"There is one more thing to report to the adults, I heard that Li Zhongtang sent someone to persuade him to surrender, but the messenger was directly beaten out by Dashanyan, and the one who was beaten was called miserable! When Li Zhongtang learned the news, he was furious! The guard continued.
"And this?" Ren Chaoyi was interested when he heard it. said with a smile, "This little devil really doesn't know how to lift!" But that's fine, if they do surrender, so many captives won't be easy to deal with! Kill it! There are too many people, and the impact is not good, so let it go! It's too cheap for these shitty guys. Keep it! That's a waste of food! Since they are so ignorant, then we can justifiably destroy them. ”
"The adults are right, these little devils, if they are kept, it will be a disaster, and only by destroying them directly can they get rid of the future troubles forever!" The guard echoed with a smile.
"You! Be enlightened! Ren Chao smiled and nodded on the guard's forehead. Alright, go get me something to eat, I'm hungry! ”
"Yes!" The guard answered, then turned and went out.
Ren Chao was eating, Niu Kaixuan hurriedly ran in, "Lord Qiqi, Chief of Staff Yang has just sent someone to send news that the three thousand tiger army led by Meng Yan to reinforce Beijing by land has arrived near Dacheng, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach the Beijing division in two days." ”
"Yes!" Ren Chao nodded while eating. "As soon as this batch of troops arrives, it will be the death of the little devil!"
"It's just that the Japanese Seventh Division captured Langfang, and Chief of Staff Yang asked you for instructions to let Meng Yan's troops support Ma Yukun and Song Qing. Or come directly to Jingshi. Niu Kaixuan continued.
"Of course, I came directly to Jingshi, and I will destroy the old devil Dashanyan first!" Ren Chao thought for a moment and said.
"Yes! If you are lowly, you will send someone to inform Chief of Staff Yang! Niu Kaixuan answered, turned around, and walked away in a hurry.
But soon another personal guard ran in, "Lord Qi, Li Zhongtang sent someone to ask your lord to come to the house immediately." There are urgent military consultations. ”
"I know, just say I'll be there soon." Ren Chao said casually, a trace of impatience appeared on his face. I couldn't help but complain, "It's true, I can't even eat a meal!" Although he complained, Li Hongzhang sent someone to call, and Ren Chao naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after eating in a hurry, he immediately got up and rushed to Li's mansion.
After Ren Chao hurriedly arrived, a large number of Qing army generals had gathered here, and after meeting Li Hongzhang and the generals one by one, Ren Chao walked to the position reserved for him and sat down honestly.
"Zifeng came just in time, we are discussing the next operational deployment, what does Zifeng think, let's hear it!" Li Hongzhang said to Ren Chao with a smile.
"In front of Lord Zhongtang and all your lords, how dare you be presumptuous, what instructions does Lord Zhongtang have, even if you are told, all of them obey your orders!" Ren Chao said very modestly.
"Haha! When did you become such a mother-in-law, just say anything, and there are no outsiders here, so don't be restrained! Li Hongzhang smiled and pointed at Ren Chao and said. Because of Ren Chao's crazy move of attacking the day camp at night last night, Ren Chao had such a nickname, Li Hongzhang felt that this nickname was also appropriate after hearing it, anyway, there were really no outsiders here, they were all Li Hongzhang's cronies, in order to show his closeness, Li Hongzhang openly called out the nickname Ren Chao. It was also from this time that the nickname of the madman Ren was completely called.
Ren Chao laughed at this, "Since this is the case, then the humble position will be bold and presumptuous, if there is anything wrong, I hope that Lord Zhongtang and the adults will correct it!" Ren Chao said very politely.
"According to the understanding of the humble position, at present the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses and has lost its offensive capability. Moreover, the Japanese army is running out of weapons and ammunition, and our army can fully carry the momentum of a great victory, concentrate all efforts, launch a comprehensive counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and strive to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army outside the city in one fell swoop! Ren Chao said unceremoniously, revealing a strong confidence in his tone, as if the invincible little devils were all local chickens and dogs.
"Yes!" Li Hongzhang nodded and agreed, in fact, Li Hongzhang had discussed with everyone before, and had reached an agreement, Dashanyan refused to surrender, Li Hongzhang naturally did not want to leave this scourge, and had made up his mind to annihilate it in one fell swoop, but how to fight this battle has not yet been discussed with a specific result. Although Li Hongzhang already had an idea in his heart, but Ren Chao had not yet arrived, this matter could not be determined, because Li Hongzhang still had to rely on Ren Chao's Tiger Army as the main force in this battle.
"Zifeng is right! If this little devil stays for a day, it will always be a scourge, and it must be eradicated as much as possible! Li Hongzhang said with a smile, "This battle must be fought, and it must be solved as much as possible, but how to fight this battle?" What is good about Zifeng? After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he looked at Ren Chao meaningfully, and Ren Chao's answer just now naturally could not satisfy Li Hongzhang, so Li Hongzhang had to hint at Ren Chao again.
"The lowly position is dull, this charge into battle is in the line of lowly duty, but when it comes to giving advice, it is not the strength of the lowly position!" Ren Chao seemed to have guessed Li Hongzhang's thoughts, but he didn't want to be this early bird, and continued to pretend to be stupid, "I think Lord Zhongtang is clever, and he must have made up his mind in his heart.
