The deputy's words obviously made Cheng Wenqi's heart cold, indeed, what qualifications did he have to negotiate with the Liaodong Army.

To put it simply, the Liaodong Army does not need to send any letters of persuasion to itself at all, only one brigade, then the Hotan City it guards will be occupied by the Liaodong Army, which is armed to the teeth, within one day.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Wenqi lowered his head and asked in contemplation.

"My lord, don't miss the opportunity and never come again, once the patience of the Liaodong Army is worn out, then we will be at the end." The deputy obviously understood that with Hotan's troops against the Liaodong Army, it was a car in the mantis arm.

It's been two days, and the intelligence soldiers in Liaodong have been waiting here for two days, and if they don't reply, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Aksu County, although the weather is extremely hot during the day, but at night, the temperature in the desert will suddenly drop, Luo Dacheng, who was still wearing short sleeves in the morning, has now put on a thick military uniform, although this is the case, but Luo Dacheng still feels a little chill.

Cheng Wenqi didn't reply. Put down the pen in your hand. Luo Dacheng tightened his clothes and asked the adjutant standing next to him.

"Commander, there has been no reply since we sent personnel two days ago." The adjutant stepped forward and told Luo Dacheng the latest situation.

Hmph, with a cold snort, Luo Dacheng walked to the map placed on the table, he knew very well that this Cheng Wenqi was delaying time.

Since you don't know how to lift, then don't blame me for being ruthless, thinking of this, Luo Dacheng suddenly stood up straight and looked at the adjutant and adjutant beside him: "Tell the Thirteenth Army that it is advancing fifty kilometers forward." I don't believe that he can withstand my 20,000-strong army. ”

Driving a brown fast horse, he was galloping south along the Hotan River, and on the horse, a Qing soldier wearing a uniform kept beating the horse under him, hoping that the horse could reach Hotan immediately.

It was another morning, the soldiers of the Hotan battalion started a day of training under the leadership of the officers, and Cheng Wenqi's eyes were a little rosy, and after thinking about it all night, he didn't make a final decision on how to choose. It is to return to Liaodong. Still stubborn to the end.

There was a sound of horses' hooves outside. Then a soldier wearing a Qing army uniform walked in, this person Cheng Wenqi knew, it was the soldier he sent to Aksu to inquire about the news.

"What's the situation?" Seeing the soldier walk in, Cheng Wenqi stood up from his chair lightly and asked.

"My lord, the 20,000 people of the Liaodong Army stationed in Aksu are advancing towards the Hotan River."

Hetian River? Cheng Wenqi turned around suddenly and came to the map, if the Liaodong Army was advancing towards the Hotan River, then it would definitely be the south of the Hetian River, and the first city after going south was Hetian.

"Your Excellency." The deputy took a step forward and spoke anxiously again, he knew that time was running out, and if he didn't decide, the thousands of soldiers in Tanaka would die in vain. Nothing at all.

"Immediately summon the Liaodong envoy." Cheng Wenqi turned around violently, he decided, surrender to Liaodong.

Lushun, the weather has gradually become hot, Wu Haozai did not put on the black cloak, but only wore a short sleeve, even so, he still felt the hot wind pouring in from the window, pressing himself out of breath.

"Give." Zheng Yiqian knew that Liu Jun was afraid of heat, so she added a piece of ice to Liu Jun's teacup and handed it to Liu Jun.

"Is there any news from Hetian?" Liu Jun, who took the tea, asked after taking a sip.

For Hotan, Liu Jun is very concerned, where can be successfully taken, it will be related to the deployment of troops in Liaodong for a period of time in the future, but since he ordered Wu Peifu to send personnel to Hetian, until now, he has not received any information about Urumqi.

Seeing that Zheng Yiqian didn't speak, Liu Jun knew that there must be no news.

With a snap, Liu Jun put the teacup in his hand on the table and stood up from the chair: "I can't wait." Go for it, Zhong Lin find it. ”

"Head, no need, I'm here." It is estimated that Zhong Lin outside the door heard Liu Jun looking for him, so he shouted loudly outside.

The sound is loud and the walk is calm, which is definitely a good thing.

"Head, Wu Peifu is in a hurry, Hetian has already returned to Shun this morning, and now Luo Dacheng's corps is on its way to take over the defense."

Well, it's indeed good news, if Hotan is taken, Luo Dacheng's corps will be able to keep an eye on the northwest of Tibet, so that the **** will not dare to easily mobilize the troops in northwest Tibet.

In this way, he indirectly supports Zhao Erfeng in the east. The overall situation in Tibet can be determined.

"Head, there's another piece of news." Seeing Liu Jun stand up, Zhong Lin took out a telegram from his file bag again and handed it to Liu Jun.

There is another one, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin suspiciously, not understanding what this information was.

"Head, a telegram has been sent from Nanyang that the Tsarist fleet has arrived in Malacca.

So quickly, Liu Jun listened to Zhong Lin's words, and turned on the telegram at once, and it was indeed very clear that the Tsarist fleet had arrived in Malacca and was filling coal and water there.

"Wu Tingfang is here." Before Liu Jun could speak, Zheng Yiqian pointed outside.

Liu Jun turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi walking towards him.

"What are you two here today?" Let Zheng Yiqian serve tea, Liu Jun asked.

Wu Tingfang has been walking around Germany and Tsarist Russia for a while, and when he saw Liu Jun asking, Wu Tingfang took out a document from his file bag and said: "Marshal, Tsarist Russian Minister Vidoyev came to talk to us this morning and said that their fleet has arrived in Malacca. ”

It seems that this thing is true, Liu Jun nodded, and handed the telegram in his hand to Wu Tingfang.

"Let the Guangdong sailor pick it up, after all, they are allies now." Liu Jun said with a smile.

Ally, Liu Jun didn't hurt this ally enough, Zheng Yiqian on the side almost laughed when she heard this.

This telegram belonged to Zhong Lin, so Zhong Lin nodded, wrote down Liu Jun's order and stood aside.

Now that the Tsarist fleet has arrived, then the plan for the Far East can be carried out, thinking of this, Liu Jun stood up, walked in front of Wu Tingfang and sat down and said: "Old Wu, how are you going about the negotiations with Tsarist Russia, are you completely sure?" ”

As soon as Wu Tingfang heard Liu Jun ask, he immediately understood what Liu Jun meant by negotiation, and bowed his head slightly, Wu Tingfang suddenly stood up from his position and said affirmatively: "Six layers of grasp." ”

Six layers of grasp, enough, smiling slightly, Liu Jun stood up and returned to his position.
