Chapter 173 Life for Life

Then, the Battle of Hufeiling took place. Lai Chuanwu hid on the cliff and witnessed the whole process of the battle. The performance of Zhou Charter and Zhang Ziying stunned him.

A remnant army successfully broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army and killed the brigade commander of the mixed brigade - this is the only victory won by the Qing army since the outbreak of the Qing-Japanese War!

Lai Chuanwu reluctantly accepted the fact that the turtle in Tianjin Wubei School is stronger than his turtle!

Subsequently, Lai Chuanwu followed Zhang Ziying to Yizhou. However, Zhang Ziying's faction in Yizhou made him resentful.

Zhou Charter killed Wei Rugui, a three-grade member of the imperial court, annexed Wei Rugui's Sheng army, and collected scattered soldiers and North Koreans. His power developed to more than 10,000 people and became a large army.

Zhou Charter has violated the imperial taboo!

Killing the imperial court officials without authorization and expanding their strength without authorization, both of which are absolutely intolerable by the imperial court! Both are serious crimes of conspiracy!

Zhou Charter commits two crimes, how can the court tolerate him?

Lai Chuanwu quietly crossed the Yalu River, returned to Beijing, and reported Zhou Charter to the old Buddha for rebellion.

However, when Lai Chuanwu walked into the Foxiang Pavilion, his mood was extremely contradictory.

Zhou Charter is his savior. If it hadn't been for Zhou Charter, he would have died in the cow's rest. How could he have come to Beijing to complain?

If it is a personal grudge to say that Zhou Charter saved his life, then it is definitely a contribution to the court to fight blood in Hufeiling.

Zhou Charter is personally kind to him and meritorious to the imperial court. Lai Chuanwu is to do bad things to such people, and his conscience is unhungible.

However, Zhou Charter killed the members of the imperial court in Yizhou and annexed the Sheng army to expand its strength. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it was indeed a conspiracy.

How can Lai Chuanwu turn a blind eye to the act of rebellion?

So, when he saw the Empress Dowager Buddha, he was almost incoherent, the language was messy, and the foreword was unspeakable.

In the end, even he didn't know what he had said to the old Buddha.

Lai Chuanwu came out of the Foxiang Pavilion, and then remembered that his report seemed to be fragmented. In fact, under the subconscious guidance, it weakened the content that was unfavorable to the Zhou Charter, and the achievements of the Zhou Charter were factually reported, which was equivalent to evaluating the Zhou Charter.

In this way, he saved Zhou Charter's life.

Lai Chuanwu regretted it greatly, but the words had been said, and he couldn't take it back. He had to deceive himself - both sides lost their lives, and the two sides were even, and no one owed anyone! In the future, if Zhou Charter dares to fool around again, Lai Chuanwu will not be polite!

The Empress Dowager Buddha did not doubt Lai Chuanwu. Lai Chuanwu also died in North Korea. After more than half a year of ups and downs, when he met the empress dowager, his face was haggard and depressed. Therefore, the empress dowager naturally thought that Lai Chuanwu's language expression ability declined because he did not have a good rest.

From Lai Chuanwu's fragmented expression, the Empress Dowager Cixi got two important information: First, Wei Rugui died and was killed by Naha Five, and Nahawu was a flag man. Second, Zhou Charter is not from Li Hongzhang, and he has nothing to do with other leading generals from the Xianghuai army, and he is not the same person. That is to say, Zhou Charter is neither a post-party nor an imperial party, and he can't fight with those Han generals! And his mentor, Na Jin, is a flag man and a decent man.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is not interested in Zhou Charter's achievements at all, and even in Zhou Charter's expansion to kill Wei Rugui. What she is interested in is who Zhou Charter's * is!

If Zhou Charter's * is a member of the court, whether it is Manchu or Han, the old Buddha should remain highly vigilant. Because the Han people will threaten the rule of the Manchu people, and the Manchu people will threaten her authority!

If the powerful ministers inside, the Zhou Charter has heavy troops outside, and the two sides echo each other, then Cixi can't tolerate the next charter.

However, Cixi was surprised to find that Zhou Charter has no root, and the only thing that can have anything to do with him is just a roundabout man. Moreover, this Jin must not be an imperial party, but has something to do with her. They are all surnamed Yehenara!

So, Zhou Charter seems to be closer to her Empress Dowager Buddha.

Cixi sneered secretly: Emperor Guangxu's wings in the Forbidden City have grown, and he wants to govern himself. He wants to use Zhou Charter to challenge her mother. Well, draw a salary from the bottom of the pot and simply pull Zhou Charter into the party! It's better to be as loyal to her as Lai Chuanwu!

Of course, this is a good wish. After all, Zhou Charter is a Han man. The ancestors have long said that if it is not our people, their hearts will be different. Cixi has never been reassured about the Han people. These days, it seems that the call for anti-Qing and restoration has come out again.

However, even if Zhou Charter can't be completely loyal to her, he can be used to contain the generals of the Hunan and Huai systems. Over the years, the most headache for the court are the Xiang army and the Huai army. In order to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the court had to let Zeng Guofan handle Xiang Yong, but the result was not bad. Until now, the Hunan army and the Huai army have become the main force of the Qing army, and even the Xianghuai army is in the training army!

Cixi has decided to reuse Zhou Charter instead of killing him!

In the thought of the old Buddha, a person ascended from hell to heaven!

Of course, it is not easy to control a strong general with military power. At this point, Cixi is much clearer than Guangxu, and Guangxu only wants to give grace to Zhou Charter. Cixi's Zhou Charter is three-pronged.

First, Cixi added an official title to Zhou Charter, which is a kindness; second, Cixi sent Yuan Shikai to bring a decree not issued to Zhou Charter, indicating that Zhou Charter killed Wei Rugui, and reminded Zhou Charter not to think that the Empress Dowager knew nothing, which is to establish authority; third, it is also the most important to return Lai Chuanwu faction to Zhou. Next to the charter, press a nail beside him.

Before leaving, Cixi summoned Lai Chuanwu again and told him that his mission this time was more difficult and important than his going to Germany to spy on the intelligence of Westerners, which was related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty! Cixi told Lai Chuanwu that when he arrived in Zhang Jun, he should pay close attention to Zhou Charter's every move, report Zhou Charter's movements and ideological dynamics at any time, and most importantly, try to master some of Zhang Jun's troops.

Cixi even gave Lai Chuanwu a secret decree. If Zhou Charter is loyal to the country, the court will naturally give a reward. If he dares to rebel, or secretly communicate with the powerful ministers in the court, or turn to Emperor Guangxu, Lai Chuanwu can immediately kill Zhou Charter and take over Zhang Jun with a secret edict. At the same time, Accept all titles and official positions of the Zhou Charter.

Cixi is worthy of being a master of employment. This decree not only firmly controls Zhou Charter, but also makes Lai Chuanwu full of yearning - to take over Zhang Jun and accept the title held by Zhou Charter, which is a huge ** for Lai Chuanwu.

Lai Chuanwu sneaked back to Yizhou with a secret decree. Of course, he can't take the initiative to run to Zhou Charter to ask for rejoining Zhang Jun, which will make Zhou Charter suspicious.

Lai Chuanwu is not an idle person. This boy is thoughtful and knows Zhou Charter's temperament very well. He knows that Zhou Charter lacks military talents and is eager for talents for people with some real ability. If he sees him, he will take the initiative to invite him to join Zhang Jun. In this way, it was not Lai Chuanwu's cheeky way to return to Zhangjun, but Zhou Charter invited him to join Zhangjun.

So, Lai Chuanwu disguised himself as a beggar and ran to Zhao Zhenglun's stable with a belly of horse material, making him look depressed. As expected, Zhou Charter was overjoyed to see him and strongly persuaded him to return to Zhangjun. Lai Chuanwu pushed the boat. Unexpectedly, Lai Chuanwu not only returned to Zhangjun as he wished, but also became the deputy commander of the Second Regiment, the battalion commander of the 201 Battalion, who controlled a whole battalion and became a real power faction. .

Now, Lai Chuanwu took his battalion across the Qiaochuan River and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army.

Unlike Zhang Xun on the peak of the fetus, Lai Chuanwu has long known that Zhou Charter is in Anzhou. He also knows that the goal of this battle is not to stop the Japanese army on the front line of the Qiaochuan River and the fetal peak, but to eat the mixed brigade.

Only a few people in the whole Zhangjun knew this strategic intention, including Luo Mingfang and Nahawu, two deputy division commanders, as well as Hannagan and Park Yonglie, excluding Lai Chuanwu.

However, Lai Chuanwu still tried his best to figure out Zhou Charter's movements - the old Buddha ordered him to keep an eye on Zhou Charter's every move.

Lai Chuanwu was greatly surprised by Zhou Charter's intention. With Zhang Jun's existing strength, how can he shake the elite mixed brigade of the Japanese army? It's good to delay the mixed brigade. If you want to eat it, it's simply a fool's dream.

However, Lai Chuanwu still admires the courage of Zhou Charter. After all, there is no other good way to defend Yizhou.

However, as the war progressed, Lai Chuanwu suddenly found that Zhou Charter might succeed!
