Lushun, dusk has come, and Liu Jun, who has been busy all day, stretched his sore waist.

After looking at the office that had been lit with candles, and after looking at the sky that had already darkened, Liu Jun estimated in his heart that Zhong Lin would not come back.

I looked up at the time when I hung on the wall, it was already past seven o'clock, and at this time, the two daughters-in-law of the family were generally at home, waiting for them to go back to eat.

Standing up and blowing out the candles on the table, Liu Jun grabbed the cloak that was placed on the hanger in the corner, walked straight out of the office, walked through the backyard, and returned home.

Indeed, as Liu Jun thought, the whole family sat at the table, waiting for him.

After smiling and exchanging a few words with his family, the hanger people began to have dinner together.

However, as soon as he was halfway through eating, Zhong Lin rushed in with a roar, shouting without raising his head: "Head, I found out that, when do you want to grab ......?"

Ahem, when he saw Zhong Lin about to say something, Liu Jun felt a few coughs.

Wu Xiaoyan on the side is not the one who is easy to fool, from Zhong Lin's words and Liu Jun's expression, she knows in her heart that it is definitely not something unsightly.

"What are you robbing?" Wu Xiaoyan put down her job.

"It's nothing, there was a collapse in the Liaoyang road section, and I asked Zhong Lin to mobilize troops to repair it." Liu Jun was a little weak-hearted and pulled the rice.

It's really like this, Wu Xiaoyan showed a trace of disbelief, but after looking at Zhong Lin and Liu Jun, it didn't seem like she was deceiving herself, she didn't ask more, but picked up the rice bowl again.

In the study, as soon as Liu Jun finished eating, he grabbed two apples casually and called Zhong Lin into the study.

Lighting the candle, Liu Jun inevitably blamed Zhong Lin for not being a big deal, and almost leaked his mouth in front of Wu Xiaoyan and Li Maolian.

Zhong Lin also laughed dryly a few times and did not refute.

Seeing Zhong Lin's smirk, Liu Jun had no reason to blame again.

In his position, he took a bite of the apple, and Liu Jun straightened his body forward. looked at Zhong Lin: "When will it pass?" ”

Zhong Lin looked outside and saw that there was no one, so he took out a document from his coat pocket and went up: "This is the marching route of the Northeast Transport Brigade of the Qing Army. ”

Seeing that Liu Jun was studying, Zhong Lin said: "All the taxes of the imperial court this time will be concentrated in Shengjing first, and then transported to Beijing with a battalion of the Eight Banners Army and a thousand people collected, and the intelligence shows that they will set off in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow and arrive near Liaoyang the next day." Saying this, Zhong Lin walked to the map not far from the study and pointed to the place where the Yunshun brigade was going to pass.

Good guys, the guts are really fighting. Liu Jun took a look, that place was the official road leading to Guannei, less than a hundred kilometers away from Liaoyang City.

Closing his eyes, Liu Jun began to think. A battalion of Qing troops, that is, more than 500 people, these more than 500 people, mainly to prevent those more than 1,000 people from doing tricks and feet halfway.

More than five hundred, how many people should be sent over, Liu Jun began to think.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, Liu Jun stood up: "Let's go, Telegraph Office." ”

The telegraph office was now no longer in the city, but in the opinion wing in the forecourt of the Arthur Command.

As soon as he arrived at the telegraph office, Liu Jun glanced at the staff on duty here, smiled slightly, and Liu Jun said: "Connect Liaoyang, secret electricity." ”

There is a rather steep official road outside Liaoyang City, which passes under two mountains and then winds south to Shanhaiguan.

Normally, there would be caravans passing by here from time to time on this broken road, but now. There was silence all around. On the official road under the mountain, not to mention people, even birds have not seen a single one.

On the mountainside, dense forests are dense. From time to time, the wind blows and shakes the trees on the mountainside from side to side.

Phew, under a pine tree, Duan Qirui violently spit out the straw in his mouth, and his eyes stared at the official road under the mountain motionlessly.

Strange, it stands to reason that it should have come over, why hasn't there been any movement until now, Duan Qirui kept guessing in his heart.

Three days ago, he received a secret telegram from Liu Jun, that is, he must snatch the materials transported from the Northeast to Beijing this time. And there is not a single one left.

Duan Qirui didn't understand why Liu Jun did this, but from Liu Jun's secret lightning and some strict words, he knew that Liu Jun attached great importance to this matter. At that time, he sent scouts to Shengjing. Find out when the imperial court will leave this time and how many troops there are.

After getting the scouts to investigate, Duan Qirui knew that three days later, Sheng Jing would transport the materials to Beijing and then hand them over to the household department. This time, Shengjing dispatched a battalion of horses and an infantry battalion to escort them, and the official roads along the way restricted anyone from passing.

A horse battalion and an infantry battalion, which add up to more than a thousand people, and the supplies escorted by more than a thousand people are definitely not a small amount. After careful study, Duan Qirui decided that he would personally go out and win this big fortune.

Early yesterday morning, he mobilized a brigade of troops to lend out for exercises, and when he left the city, he urgently marched, and finally in the middle of the night, he came here to hide and wait for the imperial transport brigade that came.

Raising his eyes and looking at the hot and dry sky, it was estimated that it was already about a little bit, and he looked back at the Lushun army buried behind.

Although the weather was hot, sweat was dripping from his face like water, but the soldier crawled motionless on the ground, Duan Qirui nodded with satisfaction, turned around, Duan Qirui looked at Zhang Yi who was crawling next to him: "You say, they will come, right?" ”

Zhang Yi was not only the deputy commander of the Corps, but also the commander of the Fifth Army, he thought about it for a while, looking at the empty official road. He was also a little puzzled, and looked at Duan Qirui: "Do you want to send someone to take a look?" ”

Duan Qirui thought for a moment: "Forget it, I'm waiting for a while, after all, there are thousands of people, and there are many materials to be transported, so it's normal to be slow, we'll wait and wait." ”

Half an hour later, the neighing of horses and billowing dust came from the official road in the distance, and Duan Qirui, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly came to his senses. , stabbed Zhang Yi, who was lying on the ground and closed his eyes: "It's here." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yi suddenly turned over and raised his binoculars.

I saw that on the official road, the first was a team of military uniforms wearing Qing army uniforms holding high the Yellow Dragon Banner, after tax, the cavalry on both sides, the materials escorted in the middle and the infantry that followed up, adding up to at least 2,000 people.

After looking at the supplies, Zhang Yi opened his mouth wide, at least two hundred carriages.

"Let's do it." Zhang Yi rolled up his sleeves and pulled out his pistol from his waist.

Duan Qirui shook his head: "Don't worry, after they have gone through the general, they will suddenly attack, if they resist, they will fight, if they don't resist, forget it, we are here to grab money, not kill." ”

Also, Zhang Yi nodded, put away the pistol, and waited slowly.

The front team has already walked through the mountainside, and the supplies have already passed through a part. Seeing that the time was ripe, Duan Qirui snapped a shot: "Do it"

The sound of gunfire was the signal, and thousands of Lushun troops got up from the ground at once, and the first one raised the banner of the Yellow Dragon and rushed down the mountain.

As soon as the Qing army under the mountain heard the gunshots, they immediately reacted, the cavalry began to retreat, and the infantry began to climb on the ground and raise the guns in their hands. However, the Qing army, who was about to shoot, raised his eyes and saw the Yellow Dragon Flag fluttering on the mountainside, and his head was suddenly clouded, what was going on, his own people still robbed themselves.

The deputy general in charge of the escort was a man of the Eight Banners, and the four generations were all deputy generals of Shengjing, and he was also confused, and when he saw the Yellow Dragon Banner, he hurriedly stopped the soldiers on his horse. After all, it was the Yellow Dragon Banner, not any other flag.

"Arthur Army." The adjutant general finally saw the people who ran down clearly, and he understood why it was the Yellow Dragon Banner, because except for the different military uniforms of the Lushun Army, everything else was the same as himself.

Meng drew his saber and was about to give the order for a counterattack. However, the Lushun army had already rushed to the front, and "don't move" a few roars, making the adjutant general's face pale all of a sudden. He took a look, at least seven thousand.

Seven thousand, not to mention seven thousand, even five thousand, he will not move, he knows the combat effectiveness and ruthless glorious deeds of the Lushun Army.

"Don't move, don't move." The lieutenant on horseback shouted to stop his soldiers. ”

Well, seeing that the situation was under control, Duan Qirui slowly went down the mountainside with Zhang Yi and came to the deputy general.

After taking a look at this deputy general, Duan Qirui didn't talk nonsense to him: "We are here today, not to kill people, but to make money, so if you don't resist, you will have a chance to live, but these things." Well, he looked at the hundreds of good horses and pointed to them: "We'll take them all." ”
