Li Hongzhang was helpless in his heart, and he didn't know if this Ren Chao was really stupid? still deliberately pretended to be stupid, but a little relieved that Ren Chao had already said that the Tiger Army would completely obey his Li Hongzhang's command, which could be regarded as a reassuring pill for Li Hongzhang. Before, Li Hongzhang was most worried that the group of arrogant soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army would not obey the command, because this army was completely different from other troops, and this army was created by Ren Chao himself. At the beginning, Ren Chao in North Korea completely relied on his own strength to pull up such a team, and the imperial court can be said to have not given him any support! The only thing given to Ren Chao is just a vain official title. That is to say, the army of the Tiger Army is completely Ren Chao's private army, if Ren Chao does not listen to the dispatch, Li Hongzhang is powerless at all, which is also the fundamental reason why Li Hongzhang has been wooing Ren Chao, fortunately, this Ren Chao is also very aware of the righteousness, and he is also quite respectful to Li Hongzhang, which makes Li Hongzhang feel very pleased.

"I heard that the troops of the Tiger Ben Army to reinforce the Beijing Division by land are already approaching the Beijing Division?" Li Hongzhang thought for a while, slightly gave up the topic for the time being, and instead asked about the arrival of reinforcements from the Tiger Army, with Li Hongzhang's current status, such a thing naturally can't be hidden from Li Hongzhang, although Li Hongzhang doesn't know where the reinforcements of the Tiger Army have arrived, but he can roughly guess in his heart.

"Returning to Lord Zhongtang, I just got the news, if nothing else, this reinforcement is estimated to be able to rush to the capital division in two days." Ren Chao didn't hide it, and replied honestly.

"Yes!" Li Hongzhang nodded slowly, "As soon as this army arrives, it will be time for us to launch a large-scale counterattack, and I have already ordered Song Qing and Ma Yukun's troops to do their best to contain the Japanese Seventh Division, in case this group of little devils reinforces Dashanyan, so that we can concentrate all our strength to encircle and annihilate the Japanese invaders of Dashanyan outside the city in one fell swoop!" This battle also relied on Zifeng's Tiger Ben Army to serve as the main force of the attack. Li Hongzhang saw that Ren Chao never answered, so he could only say it clearly, and he expected that Ren Chao would not refuse.

Sure enough, Ren Chao stood up and said with his hand after hearing this. "Please rest assured, all the soldiers of my Tiger Ben Army will go all out to kill the enemy, and under the wise leadership of Lord Zhongtang, they will be able to completely annihilate the Japanese outside the city!"

Ren Chao's guarantee made Li Hongzhang feel more at ease, and then Li Hongzhang began to assign tasks, and the whole army stepped up preparations for war.

After the battle outside the Guangqu Gate, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and the generals of the army were raised. Down to the ordinary soldiers, they all know that the little devil is already at the end of the crossbow, and he won't be able to jump for long. Now, as soon as they heard that a counterattack was going on, everyone knew that this was a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and naturally they were eager to try it one by one, and under the encouragement of the generals, the whole army immediately began to make all-out preparations for war.

After leaving Li Hongzhang's mansion, Ren Chao did not rush back to his residence, but strolled alone on the streets of Beijing. But now is not the time to enjoy the scenery, because the little devil soldiers are coming to the city, so that the whole city of Beijing is enveloped in an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Although it was not yet dark, all the shops had already closed early. Even in broad daylight, there aren't many shops open, not to mention that it's already evening.

Ren Chao was inevitably a little disappointed, and originally wanted to enjoy the night view of Beijing by the way. But what came into view was a dead silence, revealing a hint of desolation. Although the ancient city has a population of more than one million, it is difficult to find people on the streets at this time. Even if you occasionally see one or two figures, they are in a hurry, not desolate?

Ren Chao couldn't help but sigh slightly, looked up into the distance, and couldn't help but light up, because Ren Chao suddenly found a figure on the street corner in the distance. To Ren Chao's surprise, the man was moving a table from a broken car and propping it up on the corner. If Ren Chao guessed correctly, it was a supper stall, and the person had just come out of the stall.

Ren Chao couldn't help but walk forward quickly, this was a wonton stand, because there was a broken flag on the broken car next to it, and the word wonton was written on it. And the owner of this stall is an old man, who seems to be not young, and there is a cow tied to the stone pillar on the corner of the street, and the cow is skinny and old.

The weather in Beijing is still so cold, just drink a bowl of chaos to warm up, so Ren Chao walked to an old man who had just wiped down the stool and sat down, "Boss, come to a bowl of chaos!" No, eight bowls of ravioli. Ren Chao suddenly remembered that there were seven guards behind him, because these people had always followed Ren Chao honestly all the way without even saying a word, Ren Chao almost forgot about them.

The old man had already seen Ren Chao and a few people coming over, and saw that it was a group of soldiers, and it seemed that the leader was still a small official, the old man couldn't help but be afraid of a while in his heart, and he always lowered his head, and he didn't even dare to look at these people, but the more people are afraid of anything, who would have thought that these people were stopping, and they were going to eat chaos, which made the old man even more uneasy. But it's a blessing or a curse, and it's a curse that can't be avoided. The old man stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "This official wants to eat chaos?" It's just that the old man has just come out of the stall, I'm afraid I have to make the official wait a little longer! ”

Ren Chao looked at the look of fear in the old man's eyes, smiled slightly and said, "It's okay old man, wait a little longer, just wait a little longer, don't worry!" You guys haven't come over to help! This last sentence was to turn his head to the guards.

"Yes!" The seven guards bowed down in response, and then rushed up to help, some to move the table and stool, and some to help the old man make a fire.

When the old man heard that the young official actually called himself this bad old man, he couldn't help but shake his body, and then saw that a few soldiers really came up to help, and hurriedly rushed up and said, "Don't you dare to bother a few military masters to do it, or the old man came by himself, and it will be fine immediately!" Right away! ”

"If it's out of the way, let them move around!" Ren Chao said with a smile. The old man had no choice but to let these clumsy soldiers help.

Soon the four tables were set up, the fire was also lit, and looking at the raging flames in the furnace, Ren Chao suddenly felt a little warmer.

The old man lowered his head and walked in front of Ren Chao and said timidly, "The fire has been lit, and when the soup boils, you can make wontons for the official." ”

"No hurry! The old man sat down and talked! Ren Chao patted the bench next to him and said with a smile.

"Don't you dare to call the official like this, it's a pain in the little old man, the old man's surname is Wang, they all call me Wang Laohan, the old king's head, the official can also call me that!" Although the old man felt that the official in front of him seemed to be different from those arrogant officers and soldiers, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said in fear.
