Duan Qirui walked over from behind at this time, and Yang Xiaolin immediately put away his thoughts and terminated the conversation with Tai Wangu.

"Commander, we have just interrogated the Russian prisoners captured today, and according to their explanations, we can conclude that Kilingsky has mobilized Akpolier's troops to the south to meet them at Kulen."

Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed after hearing this: "Oh? Is this information reliable? ”

Duan Qirui nodded: "All Russians say so. I think that our operational plan should be properly adjusted, and if the forces of Kilingsky and Akpolil are combined, it will have a great impact on our strategy of annihilating the Russians south of Kulen. ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and after taking a puff, his mind spun sharply, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was a possible thing. The Russians will never move Kulen's troops, and if Kilingsky really makes this move, it means that this Russian general is simply a fool.

Yang Xiaolin never took his opponent for a fool, so the information he got from these captives may have been deliberately released by Kilingsky. Maybe it's to give the Russians a little hope, maybe it's to give yourself a trap.

Duan Qirui took a step forward to him at this time: "Commander, I think we now have the ability to fight with the Kilingsky Corps, they have blown up those heavy artillery, and the war horses have also been killed, and the time is ripe for a decisive battle." ”

Yang Xiaolin was still thinking about it, and only made a decision when the cigarette was almost smoked: "No! The original operational plan remained unchanged. The decisive battle was held in the area of Kulun, and Zhang Zuolin was telegraphed. Let him continue to pick up the pace and be sure to leave the Russians behind! Send another telegram to Zaitao, ignore the remnants of Stessel's troops, and move closer to us. ”

The corners of Duan Qirui's lips moved, he really had some opinions about this Yang Xiaolin's insistence now. In his mind, if he had commanded the battle, he would have surrounded Kilingsky right now. Put the battlefield on the edge of Kulen, then the three heavy army groups of the Russians can all arrive, and the battle that China wants to fight will not be against 500,000 Russian troops.

However, after he saw Yang Xiaolin's expression, it was obvious that he told him that this decision would not change, so he didn't say anything more. The person who made this decision was Yang Dagui, and Duan Qirui was convinced. When he came out of Beijing, Lao Yuan also explained. In terms of operations, everything must be under the command of Yang Xiaolin.

"Yes."

Yang Xiaolin has his own ideas. He believes that no matter what time it is, war is not an isolated act, and the biggest difference between Yang Xiaolin and Duan Qirui is that Duan Qirui is a very traditional soldier, and he is thinking about how to fight. I think about the comparison of the strength of the two sides.

Yang Xiaolin is different. The concept of combat in the twenty-first century told him. Sometimes it's not just bullets and troops that are fought on the battlefield. Taking this war as an example, he set the location of the decisive battle in the south of Kulen in his plan, and the decisive battle was well timed because the Russians had just entered Kulen. But there is no moment of convergence with Akpolil.

Let their hopes be dashed again when the Russians are just starting to ignite them! He knew that Dowkileski would come to the rescue, and that Dowsel's troops would not stand idly by. That would be just right, let the Chinese troops kill Stessel in front of Kilingsky's army, kill Akpolier, and let them watch how they destroy their last hope!

This time he fought the hope of the Russian soldiers, and asked Zhang Zuolin to forcibly march in front of the Russians, not to block Lao Maozi's way back, but to block their hope. When he did this, so that the Russian soldiers no longer had any illusions about this war, the heavy army group around Kilingsky was only 500,000, not to mention 1 million, and only a share was left for the Chinese to slaughter.

In the 21st century, it is to destroy the enemy's operational consciousness as much as possible before launching an attack. According to our ancestors, it is to attack the heart!

At this time, Yuan Zhongzhen had already ridden back on horseback, and Yang Xiaolin threw the cigarette butt on the ground: "Let's just say it, it's not too early." You rest early, and tomorrow you have to march. ”

Yang Xiaolin said as he walked up to Yuan Zhongzhen's horse's head and grabbed the reins, and stretched out his arms to lift her off from it. A smile appeared on the corner of Duan Qirui's mouth when he saw this action, and he turned around to do what he had to do.

Beijing.

Lao Yuan was busy until about 11 o'clock, and just now Zhang Huaizhi reported to him the situation at the negotiating table, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia submitted a solemn statement to the Chinese Government, demanding that the Chinese Government ensure the safety of ordinary Russian nationals in Mongolia.

At present, there are more than 100,000 Russians in Mongolia, and most of them are self-employed businesses that cannot develop in Russia itself. When the Sino-Russian War first broke out, in order to strengthen its ability to control Mongolia, Russia also made propaganda in the country, calling on some Russian citizens to go to Mongolia.

Now the situation is a little wrong, these people can't leave if they want to!

The attitude of the Chinese troops towards the Russians was very unfriendly, Wu Peifu killed them one by one, and those people were still counting on the Russian army to protect them, but then the Russian soldiers slowly began to bully them.

For a time, the Russians in Mongolia felt as if they had fallen into hell, and there was no place for them to feel safe in the vast steppe. They fled, and the railway station north of Kulen had only one railroad track leading to Russia, and only one train came every two days. That ticket is hard to find.

The Russians made representations to the Chinese that they would also end the massacre of Russian non-combatants in Mongolia and, if possible, ask the Chinese to inform the troops in Mongolia and give the Russians there a safe passage or open a non-belligerent zone.

Lao Yuan also considered this proposal of the Russians, and announced in a very high-profile manner that a non-belligerent zone could be demarcated for the Russians. Yuan Shikai made it very clear that the setting up of this non-belligerent zone is based on humanitarian considerations, and as long as Russia does not deploy any military strength here and does not carry out any war-related activities in this area, the Chinese side can recognize it.

This can be regarded as Yuan Shikai's return to the Russians for agreeing to set Dongjiaomin Lane as a non-belligerent zone. The non-belligerent zone will be demarcated by the Russians. Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Japan will urgently dispatch personnel to supervise and manage them.

But the request to open a safe passage was rejected by Lao Yuan. Lao Yuan said that it is absolutely safe for Russians to stay in a non-belligerent zone.

Lao Maozi didn't say anything at this time, but Mr. Zhu Erdian was still a little uneasy, and asked Yuan Shikai to take a telegram to Yang Xiaolin in person, and to get Yang Xiaolin's personal answer and approval.

This is not a promise that Mr. Zhu Erdian can't trust Yuan Shikai. It's just that Yang fights ghosts, that guy has a record of attacking non-combat zones. Had to be cautious.

It was already more than ten o'clock when they talked to Zhu Erdian, and at this time, Yuan Shikai returned home and read the battle report to see how Yang Xiaolin and the others were fighting in the north.

"Zhenchun, the Russians sent troops from Kulen. Did you get any news from there? Is it accurate? ”

"Nope. I sent a telegram to ask Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun said that there was no abnormal movement of Russian troops in Kulen. It seems that Commander Yang's guess is completely correct. ”

Lao Yuan washed his face, and a smile appeared on his face after hearing this: "This guy is a wolf on the battlefield, and his sense of smell is very keen!" That's right. Send him a copy of the information to reassure him. ”

Lei Zhenchun said: "It's already been sent." And Commander Yang also called you back, President, please take a look. ”

Lao Yuan took Yang Xiaolin's message, and Yang Xiaolin briefly explained the reason why he rejected Duan Qirui in the message. said that if he adopted the method that Duan Qirui said, Kilingsky would inevitably use the best strength of the Russians to fight to the end with himself. In that case, not to mention how many casualties this battlefield will bring to the Chinese troops, perhaps the troops of Akpolier and Stessel will turn around and run away as soon as the situation is not good.

He did not want any Russian troops to escape from China safely. Because that would cause some trouble for his next military plan to enter the Russian mainland. Again, the Russian territory is too big, and the ambitions are too big. With such a neighbor always by his side, Commander Yang did not dare to guarantee that this battle would really make peace for ten years.

Yuan Shikai's brows furrowed after reading this message: "Zhiquan is a little excessive!" He may have disagreed with this course of action, and the argument was fierce. Otherwise, Yang Dagui would not have sent a telegram to explain to me! ”

Lei Zhenchun thought about it for a while, now the relationship between Yang Xiaolin and Yuan Shikai is very delicate, if it really continues like this in the future, it will not be a good thing to offend Yang Da Ghost. But out of emotion, he still had to excuse Duan Qirui euphemistically: "President, General Duan's character is like this, and it is normal to have different opinions in a war, it may be that Commander Yang thinks too much." ”

Lao Yuan put down the telegram and was silent for a while: "How is Zhongzhen in Mongolia?" ”

"It's very good, General Duan said that the second lady is quite well-behaved this time, and she didn't cause any trouble. And Yang Xiaolin's second miss is also good, and they ride horses on the grassland together at night. ”

The corners of Yuan Shikai's mouth inadvertently rose: "Send a telegram to Yang Dagui, and say that there is no need to send a telegram with such an explanation in the future." Also, tell Zhiquan and the paparazzi that I will give an account to listen to Commander Yang's orders. ”

"Yes."

After talking about this matter, Lao Yuan suddenly took out a newspaper from the side: "Zhenchun, this is today's Chinese newspaper, which reported a murder case in Anhui, have you read it?" ”

Lei Zhenchun hurriedly said: "I've seen it, isn't it the fact that the woman cheated and was caught by her husband, and her husband killed the adulterer by mistake during the fight?" ”

Yuan Shikai nodded: "Well, what do you think?" ”

Lei Zhenchun was stunned when he heard this, what does this ordinary murder case have to do with him? The murderer didn't run away at all, and many people saw it, according to the laws enacted by New China, the husband was charged with murder by surprise, and he has been locked up pending trial.

He touched his nose: "President, Zhenchun doesn't quite understand, what do you mean?" ”

Lao Yuan smiled sinisterly: "Is it wrong for you to say that this person killed people by surprise?" ”

"I think what Song Jiaoren said is a bit reasonable about this question, it is inevitable to be in the situation, it is difficult to escape the law, it will not kill people and do nothing, right?"

"But the cause of the incident was because the deceased stole his wife, and you stole other people's things and fought with them, how much is it unreasonable? I heard that the family of the Nafu family is quite dissatisfied with the arrest of people, right? ”

When Lei Zhenchun heard this, he immediately understood what Yuan Shikai was going to do. Lao Yuan wants to shoot the first knife at those revolutionaries. This knife cut to Song Jiaoren and Sun Wen, who they believed to be the cornerstone of democracy, the Constitution.

This case is an ordinary accidental homicide, and if there is anything special, it is the traditional moral concept of the legal encounter in New China. There was such a statement at the scene of the crime, saying that the person who killed by surprise should not be arrested.

It is difficult to say which is more important, morality or law. It doesn't matter, Lao Yuan didn't want to be too clear, he continued: "Isn't it democracy now, we can't help but give people a chance to speak." ”

Lei Zhenchun knew what to do: "I will send someone to Anhui to find the family now, let them come to Beijing to make trouble, and I will arrange it for reporters and public opinion, and the president can rest assured." ”

Lao Yuan was very satisfied: "Okay! Again, no matter what you do, Mongolia can't relax. (To be continued......)
