Chapter 042 and War
"This..." Liu Shengxiu sighed, "General Zhou has offended the Empress Dowager, and there is nothing he can do."
"So, the Empress Dowager Cixi still wants my eldest brother's life?"
"Actually, the Empress Dowager can't kill General Zhou. If General Zhou encounters something unexpected, it is also done by the Japanese..."
"Bulls!" Wu Peifu shouted, "My eldest brother attacked Lushun, saved the Qing Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Cixi. The Empress Dowager saw death. Hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in Liaodong stood by and watched. If something happens to my eldest brother, the murderer is Empress Dowager Cixi!"
Liu Shengxiu lowered his head and sighed: "Head Wu. It seems that it is difficult for General Zhou to come out in Lushun. Once General Zhou encounters an accident, Chief Wu should also think about the 2,000 brothers of Zhang Jun. They are all heroes who fought against Japan. If they die here inexplicably, I'm afraid that Head Wu can't bear it.
Wu Peifu looked up to the sky and sighed: "My eldest brother and I are brothers of life and death. If my eldest brother is killed, I can't avenge him. How can I live!"
"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Liu Shengxiu whispered, "The Empress Dowager is afraid that you will return to China, so you will stay in North Korea to refresh yourself and wait for the sun. This opportunity for revenge may come one day. If Team Leader Wu dies, there will be no chance!"
"Liu, what you said is a conspiracy!"
Liu Shengxiu laughed, looked at the Qing army positions in the distance, and said, "These words, heaven and earth know you and me!"
Wu Peifu was silent for a long time and said, "Well, I have three conditions."
"Please say it."
"First, I, Wu Peifu, will surrender, and I will never surrender to Ye Zhichao, the defeated general. Please tell Liu Kunyi to surrender in person!"
Ye Zhichao is a two-faced villain, and his son Yetao is even more ruthless. In the past, when he was in Tianjin Wubei School, Wu Peifu almost died in Yetao's hands. The first regiment fell into their hands, mostly bad luck.
"Liu Zhongtang is the imperial minister, and the head of the Wu delegation asked Liu Zhongtang to surrender, which is also right. There is no problem." Liu Shengxiu said, "What about the second one?"
"Second, you must let me see my eldest brother's family, including my sister-in-law and her mother Mrs. Qin."
"This..." Liu Shengxiu hesitated: "Zhao Qiaoer and others are trapped in Pyongyang, and Pyongyang has fallen into the hands of the Restoration Army. I'm afraid it's difficult..."
"Mad Commander Liu, more than 8 thousand people in your hand can surround Pingcheng, but there is nothing you can do to restore the army with 3,000 light?" Wu Peifu sneered: "I don't care so much. If I don't see Zhao Qiaoer, I Wu Peifu will fight with you to the end!"
"It doesn't matter, it depends on you!" Liu Shengxiu said.
"Third, if my eldest brother lives in the world for one day, I, Wu Peifu, will not fall for a day, unless my eldest brother is in trouble!"
Liu Shengxiu said, "Okay! Just according to your three!"
Liu Shengxiu has already received the news that Zhou Charter has reached the point of poverty in Lushun. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army will capture Lushun in less than two days. According to the secret agreement signed between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, the Japanese will not let Zhou Charter leave Lushun alive.
......
Pyongyang suburbs, Xuanwu View.
This used to be the location of the Chinese army camp of the Qing army, and Ye Zhichao, the commander of the Qing army, lived in Xuanwuguan. Around Xuanwuguan is the training military defense area led by Yetao.
Three days ago, the Guangfu Army suddenly shot out of Xuanwu Gate in the night.
The goal of the Restoration Army was extremely clear. After the troops left the city, they did not entangled with the surrounding Qing army at all and rushed all the way to Xuanwuguan.
The training army around Xuanwuguan was unguarded. After a charge, the army broke through the defense line of the training army and rushed into Xuanwuguan.
When the alarm sounded, Ye Zhichao was lying **, holding a robbed North Korean girl and sleeping soundly.
Yetao rushed into the bedroom, took the naked Ye Zhichao out of the quilt, killed the North Korean girl with a knife, hugged Ye Zhichao over the courtyard wall of Xuanwuguan, and fled to Anzhou in a hurry.
The training army around Xuanwuguan did not make decent resistance. After a burst of random guns, they ran away with Ye Zhichao.
The battle of the Restoration Army was accurate and fierce, and the Chinese army camp of the Qing army was destroyed in one breath.
Informing the Guangfu Army that it was Cui Daoyi, the Taoist priest of Xuanwuguan.
Cui Daoyi and Li Xuanqing, that is also known as Master Kongming, were old acquaintances. Ye Zhichao led troops to Pyongyang, harassed the people everywhere, robbed food and robbed women, which was worse than the Japanese army. Cui Daoyi was resentful and secretly sent a small Taoist priest to Pyongyang City, contacted Li Xuanqing to tell the false truth about Ye Zhichao. Sued Li Xuanqing.
Of course, Li Xuanqing knew the truth of thieves and captured the king. He immediately commanded the Restoration Army and killed the city under the leadership of the little Taoist priest. As a result, he won the battle.
Liu Shengxiu, Xu Bangdao, Zhang Guangqian and other troops stationed around Pyongyang had no fighting spirit in the first place. Seeing that the commander-in-chief escaped, they also left their respective camps. 50,000 defeated soldiers ran to Anzhou before they stopped.
Pyongyang City has been relieved.
However, before Li Xuanqing took a breath, Park Yonglie came again.
Park Yonglie led the fourth regiment to Pyongyang and met the Guangfu Army head-on at Xuanwuguan.
Li Xuanqing also thought that Park Yong-yeol was here to surrender. This regiment is all North Koreans. According to reason, he should cooperate with the Restoration Army.
However, Park Yonglie surrounded Li Xuanqing in the Xuanwu View without saying anything and immediately launched an attack.
The combat effectiveness of the Fourth Regiment is the weakest in the Zhang Army, but compared with the Restoration Army, it is more than ten times stronger than the Restoration Army.
In less than half an hour, the Guangfu army compressed into a narrow area on the top of Xuanwuguan Mountain, with only the part of being beaten and not fighting back.
Li Xuanqing realized that Park Yonglie was Zhou Charter's best friend! He led his troops to capture Pyongyang.
In the end, Cui Dao came forward and persuaded both sides to strike and stop the war. We are all North Koreans, so there is no need to break the net.
Cui Daoyi and Zhou Charter have a good personal relationship and also know Park Yonglie. Before Park Yonglie's expedition, he asked Cui Daoyi to do a legal thing in Xuanwuguan.
As soon as Cui Dao made peace, Park Yonglie was also happy and put forward two demands. First, hand over Zheng Shixiong; second, hand over Zhou Charter's family, and the two conditions were met. The fourth regiment immediately withdrew its troops and released Li Xuanqing back to the city.
Li Xuanqing can't agree to these two conditions.
Zheng Shixiong has a battalion in his hand. Although the number of troops is not large, this team is the old army of Zhangjun and the main force in Pyongyang. Its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the whole army of the Restoration Army. Li Xuanqing can't help Zheng Shixiong at all. Second, Zheng Shixiong's * is a Russian, and he himself is a captain of the Russian Far East Command. Li Xuanqing did not dare to offend the Russians, otherwise, the army would be completely unreliable.
As for Zhou Charter's family, Li Xuanqing did not dare to hand it over easily. without them as hostages, Park Yonglie's people would immediately attack the city. Park Yonglie still has three battalions in his hand, and Zheng Shixiong has only one battalion in his hand. Once Park Yonglie sieges the city, I'm afraid that the hard-won Pyongyang will be lost again.
Losing Pyongyang, the restoration army will be abandoned!
Li Xuanqing had no choice but to secretly send someone to sneak out of Xuanwuguan and run back to Pyongyang City to ask Zheng Shixiong for help. However, Zheng Shixiong was afraid of Park Yonglie and did not dare to go out of the city to fight with Park Yonglie. The reason is very simple. The 201 battalion led by him are all old subordinates of Park Yonglie. Once the two armies meet, I'm afraid that these people will defect!
At this time, Lai Chuanwu also came outside Pyongyang with the second regiment. Ye Zhichao was defeated and left Anzhou, and Lai Chuanwu became a lonely army, sandwiched between Pyongyang and the Linjin River. The situation was very unfavorable. Lai Chuanwu had to give up Wenshan, retreat to Anzhou, and meet with Ye Zhichao's troops.
Li Xuanqing has long heard that Lai Chuanwu fought against the water and surrendered to the Qing army with the second regiment, while Park Yonglie refused to cooperate with Lai Chuanwu. This time, the two armies met, and if there was a fight, Li Xuanqing could just take advantage of the chaos.
However, after Lai Chuanwu passed Xuanwuguan and met Park Yonglie's troops, he immediately retreated and did not contact the fourth regiment at all. He walked around the city and ran away without a trace.
Lai Chuanwu is guilty and unwilling to fight with Park Yonglie,
This time, Li Xuanqing has really reached the end of the mountains and rivers.
With no choice, Li Xuanqing had to promise to hand over Zhou Charter's wife and Mrs. Qin, but he could not hand over Zheng Shixiong in any case.
Park Yonglie is unrelent and insists on handing over Zheng Shixiong! What Park Yong-ryeol hates most is the traitor. Zheng Shixiong not only betrays the enemy, but also stabbed him in his back to help Li Xuanqing seize Pyongyang, which made Park Yonglie mistaken for a traitor by the Zhang Jun brothers. Park Yonglie is difficult to argue. Only by arresting Zheng Shixiong can he explain to Zhou Charter.
Just as Li Xuanqing had no way to enter the earth, Jin Shu took Zhao Qiaoer, the old lady of the Qin family and Liu Yingshu to the army of Park Yonglie.
Park Yonglie was stunned when he saw Jin Shu.
Jin Shu is not dead, and she has become a member of the Restoration Army!
Park Yonglie can not give Cui Dao a side, but he can't help but give Jin Shu face.
Kim Shu is not only the sweetheart of Zhou Charter, but also the daughter of the North Korean hero Kim Yujun. Park Yong-yeol knows that Kim Ok-jun is in the minds of the North Korean people!
Moreover, Zhao Qiaoer and others were safe, and Park Yonglie was also greatly relieved.
Finally, under Jin Shu's peace, the two sides reached an agreement to strike peace.
Zhao Qiaoer and his entourage stayed in Park Yonglie's army, and Park Yonglie's troops made way to let Li Xuanqing return to the city.
Park Yonglie's troops are temporarily stationed in Xuanwuguan, still using the banner of Zhangjun and are not under the jurisdiction of the Guangfu Army. The Restoration Army and Park Yonglie's Zhang Jun do not invade each other. The military food and fodder needed by Zhang Jun are supplied by the Guangfu Army.
The well water of the Fourth Regiment and the Restoration Army did not violate the river, and Pyongyang regained calm.
However, it did not last for three days, and the gunfire broke the calm again.
On the night of February 2, Park Yong-yeol and Cui Daoyi were sitting and chatting in the Xuanwu View, and there was a sudden gunshot in Pyongyang.
The soldier on guard reported that the gunfire came from the direction of Peony Platform, where the fire soared to the sky.
