The envoy of Yishan walked to the camp, glanced at Muravyov, lowered his head, did not dare to meet Muravyov's gaze, and bowed respectfully: "Your Excellency the Governor! ”

Muravyov said: "What is the matter with the Governor? ”

The envoy said respectfully: "General Yishan learned that Li Zhen had taken Vladivostok, and he intended to join forces with the governor to attack Li Zhen. The general said that Li Zhen was a thorn, and that one day when Li Zhen existed, the governor was stuck in his throat, and General Yishan was also restless. Therefore, the general sent down to discuss the matter of unity. ”

"Send an envoy here, Yishan is really sincere!"

Muravyov stared at the envoy, his eyes narrowing slightly.

In his eyes, there was a flickering cold light.

The envoy was helpless, because Yishan did not dare to come, so he sent him.

At this moment, Muravyov was not the old man who had shown his fragile side before, his waist was straight, his eyes were like knives, and he had restored the demeanor of the mighty governor of Eastern Siberia. The envoy was stared at by Muravyov, panicked in his heart, and said with a wandering gaze: "Your Excellency Governor, General Yishan is ready to send 30,000 troops to crusade against Li Zhen." What do you think? ”

Muravyov did not speak, his eyes remained sharp.

The envoy was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Your Excellency, General Yishan said that you must be invited to send troops. If you don't send troops, I'll be killed when I get back. ”

"Hahaha......"

There was a burst of laughter in the tent, and the generals laughed happily.

This envoy, so interesting.

The envoy blushed, eager to make a hole and get in.

Muravyov didn't speak, and the envoy had to continue: "Your Excellency the Governor, General Yishan said that Li Zhen is very powerful. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to win. Moreover, General Yishan also said that as long as you are willing to send troops to attack Li Zhen with us, you are willing to listen to your arrangement, with you as the leader, and you as the commander of the coalition army. ”

On a cold day, the envoys broke out in a cold sweat and were uneasy.

When he spoke, he was incoherent.

Even, the slightly bowed waist continued to go down, it was almost ninety degrees, groveling, without the slightest bearing of an envoy of a great power, reduced to an envoy begging for help.

Shame on yourself, shame on the country!

Muravyov said: "Go back and tell Yishan that within two months, I will send troops and make him ready." Food, weapons, you have to be ready. I still need 500,000 taels of silver, otherwise I will not send troops. Li Zhen only won Vladivostok, how much does it have to do with me? No! It's a big deal, I withdrew to Boli City with my soldiers, anyway, Li Zhen is going to attack Heilongjiang in the next stage, and he wants to attack Beijing in the south, which has nothing to do with me. ”

After the envoy listened, his expression became even more difficult.

Isn't this really embarrassing him? However, when he thought of the scene of Yishan's madness, and then thought of the scene where Yishan groveled in the face of the Russians, he was even more unconfident. Eventually, the envoy said, "Okay, I'll go back and report to General Yishan immediately, and I'll send someone to Boli City to contact the Governor soon." ”

"Go ahead!"

Muravyov waved his hand, and the envoy turned to leave.

After the envoy left, Muravyov said: "There are 30,000 troops in Yishan, even if the soldiers in Yishan are poor, they are still useful. We withdrew to the city of Burleigh, reorganized the troops, and in two months sent troops again. When the time comes, completely wipe out Vladivostok and kill Li Zhen. Yishan's army can be used. Take Vladivostok, then take Yishan, and control Heilongjiang in your hands. ”

At this moment, Muravyov bared his fangs and planned further.

……

In the Qing army barracks, after everyone mourned for the dead soldiers, their faces were filled with joy again.

Everyone, excited for this victory. They all congratulated Peng Yulin, because this battle was all thanks to Peng Yulin's assistance, and the Russian army could be defeated in one fell swoop. In addition, Peng Yulin effortlessly exterminated Medev's 10,000 troops, which added luster to Peng Yulin and impressed countless generals.

In the tent, there was a lot of joy.

Only, Li Zhen's expression gradually became solemn from the smile at the beginning.

He couldn't be happy, more than 5,000 people died, can he be happy?

More than 5,000 corpses, left here.

What about silence? Can it make up for the loss of a husband and a son?

Long Xi was the first to notice the change in Li Zhen's expression, and immediately shut up after seeing it, stopped talking, and gestured to Lu Shaochuan, Yang Luchan and others with his eyes. Soon, the laughter in the tent died down, and they all fell silent, consciously standing still, silent. Long Xi, Lu Shaochuan and the others all had some doubts in their hearts, why did they suddenly change their faces when they were fine just now.

Li Zhenluo stood up and walked outside the tent.

Peng Yulin, Long Xi, Lu Shaochuan and others looked at each other, unable to understand what Li Zhen meant.

The group followed Li Zhen, left the barracks, and came to the hill where the battle was held.

There are countless soldiers here with torches, cleaning up the battlefield overnight. Originally, Li Zhen asked the soldiers to be stationed and did not plan to clean up the battlefield for the time being, but Hu Beiwang suggested that it be dealt with overnight, because after the soldiers' corpses were frozen into ice, it would be difficult to clean them out. Therefore, Li Zhen appointed Hu Beiwang to be responsible. When King Hu Bei saw Li Zhen coming, he ran over and raised his hand to salute.

Li Zhen asked, "How is the situation?" ”

King Hu Bei sighed and said in embarrassment: "It's too cold, the corpses are already frozen, and some have ice slag. Among the soldiers who died in battle with the Russian army, some died holding the Russian army, and some died biting each other's bodies...... There are so many situations that it's hard to clean up. "King Hu Bei's hands were blue from the cold, and he also tried to move the corpses of the killed soldiers, which was very difficult.

Li Zhen looked up at the sky, it was already dark, and torches were lit around him.

Countless soldiers were still cleaning up the corpses by the light of torches.

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Countless soldiers died this time, and it is definitely impossible to clean them up now." Immediately prepare firewood, then pour liquor and oil on it, burn all the corpses on the battlefield, and then according to the names of the soldiers recorded in the army, each dead soldier prepares a jar of ashes to bring back to their families. ”

King Hu Bei nodded and immediately executed.

Piles of dry firewood were piled up, frozen corpses were put on them, spirits were poured on them, fire oil was poured on them, and torches were thrown on them. The fire burned and lit up under the black night sky.

"Crackle! Crackling!! ”

The corpse burned, emitting a disgusting smell.

This time, not only the soldiers under Li Zhen's command were burned, but even the bodies of Russian soldiers were also burned. Li Zhen knew that after the ashes were scattered, he would definitely not be able to tell whose ones it was, but at least he could take a jar of ashes back to the families of each of the dead soldiers, so that the families of the soldiers could have a thought, which was a white lie made up by Li Zhen.

After the fire burned, Li Zhen bowed three times to the burning fire before turning around and leaving silently.

The generals in the army are like this, bow and leave.

At this time, no one can have a smile on their face. The fire continued from night to the next morning, and was not extinguished until the next afternoon.

Li Zhen asked the soldiers to get the ashes and return to Vladivostok with the army.
