Super Dictator

Several Japanese soldiers, led by soldiers from Hunan, strode in with their heads held high and their chests high.

Li Guangjiu didn't think they wanted to surrender.

The Japanese walked to the middle of the big tent. Instead of saluting, they looked at everyone in the tent with contempt.

"Where is General Wei?" One of the Japanese asked a little respectfully.

"Humph, there is no General Wei here, only Li Daoyuan and the Wei vassal." The camp officer in the tent was already angry when he saw the Japanese being so arrogant. When he heard him ask this, one of the camp officers snorted coldly. , replied unhappily.

"Daoist Li, General Wei?" The Japanese who just spoke tilted his head and thought for a while, then curled his lips and said, "I haven't heard of it, but as a representative of the Japanese side today, I have something to see General Wei. If you It’s okay if they are all General Wei’s subordinates.”

Li Guangjiu couldn't help but reprimanded: "If the General Wei you are talking about refers to Wei Jichen, he is in Gaiping now. If you fart, just say it. If you have something to say, don't make any noise here."

The Japanese looked like they suddenly understood, and said with disdain, "It turns out it's not Wei Zijun. No wonder our Japanese Empire only has 2,000 troops in Ximu City, and you can't attack it. In this case, I'll take my leave."

Li Guangjiu saw that the other party was sarcastic and deliberately irritated himself and others. He couldn't help suppressing the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Although we are not Wei Zijun, we can also do what Wei Jichen can do. Five In the future, our Hunan army will break up the wooden city."

"Well, we are waiting for you to attack!" The Japanese raised his feet and started to go out.

"Wait a minute! Now that you're here, why don't you finish talking! Tell me, what's the purpose of Osaka Shangmin sending you here?" Wei Guangtao was more mature and prudent, and he spoke out to persuade the Japanese to stay.

The Japanese was just pretending, but when he heard him speak, he also took the opportunity to stop and said in a leisurely manner: "My brigade commander, Your Excellency, thinks that Ximu City is worthless, it is a pity to abandon it, and it is meaningless to occupy it. Originally, we thought that the two armies could temporarily Cease fire, our army will withdraw, and then hand over Ximu City to your Wei Zijun. However, since you are not Wei Zijun, our Imperial Japanese Army cannot afford to lose that person. Only Wei Zijun who has defeated us is qualified. You are not qualified to accept this city from our Imperial Japanese Army without firing a shot."

The Japanese's words made Li Guangjiu's face turn livid, and he shouted angrily: "How dare you be so arrogant, this little Japanese pirate? People came from left and right to push him down and kill him."

The two soldiers surrounded them from both sides like wolves and tigers. When the Japanese saw this, they were not afraid. Instead, they laughed loudly and said: "The two countries are fighting. If you don't kill the envoy, you are really far behind General Wei. He dares to fight on the battlefield." Defeat us head-on, but you only dare to let people kill me, an unarmed person. Hmm, just kill me. You just wait for the crazy counterattack of more than two thousand warriors in Ximu City. After killing me, the imperial warriors We will never retreat until we fight to the death of every soldier."

Wei Guangtao has been fighting hard with the Japanese in the past few days. He knows that the Japanese are brave people and what they say may not be true. If he kills him, his army will really have to pay a huge price, and it may not be able to capture the analysis. Wood City.

Wei Guangtao thought of this, waved his hand to stop the sergeant who came forward, turned to Li Guangjiu and said: "Let's see what tricks this Japanese is playing."

Li Guangjiu originally only threatened and intimidated him, but now he took the opportunity to step down and nodded.

"Is Dafu Shangmin coming here just to let you use your words? What you said is nothing more than to sow discord between our Hunan Army and Wei Zijun. But you miscalculated. I admire Wei Jichen's character as much as you do. "Wei Guangtao touched his beard and said lightly.

The Japanese's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Whether it is to sow discord between you and Wei Zijun is another matter, but we will only hand Ximu City into the hands of Wei Zijun. Only the strong can win." With the respect of our brave warriors of the Japanese Empire, not only will the brigade commander be able to accept it, but His Excellency Nozu Michizuki, the commander of our First Army, will definitely agree to hand over Ximu City to the hands of Wei Zijun. , Not to mention whether your Excellency the Commander will agree, even our imperial warriors in Ximu City will not accept it, so we have no choice but to continue fighting. "

When Li Guangjiu heard these words, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. It was so insulting. It clearly showed that he looked down on our Hunan Army. Among the ranks of the Qing army, he only looked up to Wei Zijun.

"Since you want to fight, let's continue fighting!" Li Guangjiu stood up, said these harsh words, and walked out angrily.

Li Guangjiu said this, so Wei Guangtao naturally couldn't keep any more Japanese envoys.

Immediately, the two men led the Hunan army to attack again for a whole morning. Naturally, they did not gain any advantage. Instead, they lost a lot of troops and had to take a break.

Wei Guangtao was depressed and saw that this was not going to work, so he discussed with Li Guangjiu: "Guangjiu, although the words of the Japanese are a fallacy, they are also quite reasonable. Rather than hurting both sides like this, it is better for us to report the news to the sea." Li Yunfei of the city invited him to come to the front line of Ximu City. As long as we capture Ximu City, it will be a great achievement. At that time, the world will care about how we captured it? "

Li Guangjiu said nothing with a sullen face, but reluctantly nodded after a while.

The two were about to send someone to Haicheng, but a sergeant hurriedly came in to report.

"I would like to report to you two adults that Wei Zijun Li Yunfei has captured Ximu City and sent people to invite you two adults to enter the city." The soldier said with a surprised look on his face.

The soldiers will take care of so much. As long as there is no more fighting, they will be happier than anyone else, no matter who takes it.

After hearing this, Li Guangjiu and Wei Guangtao were furious and depressed.

He and others had worked hard and spent a lot of money to attack Ximu City for several days, but they still failed to capture Ximu City. However, Li Yunfei showed up in time and went to pick peaches alone. This would make anyone angry.

^.^，

In fact, Li Yunfei didn't understand what was going on than the two of them. Not long ago, a Japanese envoy stated that he was willing to hand over Ximu City to the hands of the Hunan Army and Wei Zijun, and asked him to come to Ximen at noon today to take over.

Li Yunfei was naturally happy. Being able to capture Ximu City without blowing the trumpet was a good thing for everyone.

Without saying a word, he rushed to the west gate of Ximu City with several hundred soldiers overnight. He sent a sergeant to take a look and found that the Japanese had indeed retreated.

Although he didn't understand why the Hunan army hadn't entered the city yet and seemed to be gathering at the east gate, Li Yunfei thought it would be some time before their army was dispatched, so he happily led his troops and entered Ximu City happily.

I never thought that this would become a manifestation of Wei Zijun's desire to win credit.

It seems that Wei Zijun and the Hunan Army really had a lot of grudges.

Jinzhou's Shandi Yuanzhi also repeated his old tricks and wanted to drive a wedge between Wei Jichen and Song Qing.

Shandi Yuanji instructed Nishi Kuanerlang, the commander of the Second Brigade stationed in Fuzhou, to send people to Gaiping and express his willingness to hand over some surrounding small towns intact to Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen, who already understood that Kawakami Caoliu wanted to deal with him, immediately saw through Kawakami Caoliu's trick to sow discord, and immediately told Song Qing the details.

Wei Jichen understood that the most important thing in getting along with people is timely communication. How many people have fallen into mutual suspicion and distrust.

"The Japanese have really tried their best to destroy the relationship between you and me. It's a pity that I didn't expect that Zijie and I have become friends forever." After Song Qing heard Wei Jichen's explanation, he couldn't help laughing, and his face was completely white. The beard twitched.

The generals were holding a military meeting to discuss sending troops, and Wei Jichen spoke out openly.

Song Qing's confidants Ma Yukun and Song Desheng couldn't help but admire Wei Jichen's ability to behave when they saw him so happy.

Ma Jinxu was even more happy. He had originally learned that Wei Jichen had lost his position as a military assistant, and he was worried that Wei Jichen would have a grudge against Song Qing, and it would be difficult for him to be a good person if he was caught in the middle.

"Commander Song, since the Japanese are willing to return these small towns to us, should we send some troops to occupy this place?" Song Desheng suggested with a smile on his face that he could regain the lost land without a single soldier. Could he be unhappy?

Seeing that Song Qing was about to nod in agreement, Wei Jichen hurriedly persuaded him seriously: "Commander Song, I think it is absolutely unnecessary to send troops to occupy those small towns, and the gains may outweigh the losses."

According to the Qing army's consistent strategy of "building strong forts to defend against the Japanese", a large part of its troops were used as garrison. Coupled with other garrison needs, although the Qing army far exceeded the Japanese army in terms of total strength, However, compared with the Japanese army in terms of local military strength, they are actually about the same, so the Japanese can rely on quick battles to advance all the way.

Now, as a counterattack party, Wei Jichen naturally does not want to see Song Qing disperse his troops again. The Japanese in small towns have withdrawn. He only needs to send one or two hundred people to maintain order. If he sends more people, it will be like the Japanese now. It seems that the troops on the battlefield in Liaodong are becoming increasingly insufficient, and they have to be condensed into a few large cities.

Wei Jichen quickly stated his concerns, and then said: "On the battlefield in Shandong, the Japanese had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and our side far exceeded 20,000 horses. However, they were defeated by the Japanese all the way, so that the morale of the army was weakened and the soldiers fled. We have no intention of fighting anymore, and now our army should aim to annihilate the living strength of the Japanese."

When Wei Jichen said this, he looked around at everyone and saw that everyone looked serious, so he continued: "Killing a Japanese means that there will be one less Japanese in Liaodong. They want to supplement from the country, but they are far behind us. Conveniently, over time, even if all the cities in Liaodong are occupied by the Japanese, the final victory will still belong to us. "

Song Qing first clapped his hands and applauded: "You are indeed a famous scholar who can write about protracted war. Zijie's words made me and others enlightened. If it weren't for the imperial court's order, I would have abdicated in favor of others."

Ma Yukun and others all looked up to Wei Jichen with admiration. He really was a worthy man despite his great reputation.

"Don't say that, you're just talking talk. Song Shuai is experienced and experienced, how can a rookie like me be compared to him." Wei Jichen quickly replied humbly.

"Here, Zijie, what is a rookie?" Song Qing asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The surrounding generals also looked at Wei Jichen with curious faces.

Only then did Wei Jichen realize that he was happy and had spilled the beans. At this moment, he had to rack his brains and explain himself: "Rookie is a slang term from my hometown. It means a person who doesn't have much practical experience and can only talk."

Song Qing touched his beard and sighed: "Zijie is too humble. Even you think you are a rookie. Aren't we all rookies?"

"Yes, we are a group of rookies." All the generals agreed with Song Qing's words and sighed in unison.

Wei Jichen was embarrassed.

After everyone finished sighing, Song Qing said seriously: "Everyone, I plan to send out a large army tomorrow, with the target directly at Fuzhou City. I also ask all the generals to work with me, Song Qing, to capture this city in one fell swoop."

"I obey Commander Song's order!" All the generals shouted in unison to show their determination.
