Wang Jiaquan's heart was full of waves, not only wanting to tell the truth, but also afraid that telling the truth would be a dead end. He thought about it and felt that since he had made a decision to take refuge in Yushuai Zhang Zuolin, he would not be able to regenerate side branches, go to the dark one by one, and not hit the south wall and not look back. You must not be half-hearted, you must not be half-hearted, Xiushuai is buying people's hearts, I can't be fooled, I must not be fooled. Yu Shuai promised me, let me be the brigade commander, let me be the guard of Taonan Town, let me be the lieutenant general, I can't live up to Yu Shuai, no. He clenched his fists and slammed them into the iron rod on the edge of the bed, and immediately a large gash was opened in his hand, not caring that his hand was bleeding.

Wang Maoru, who returned to the command center of the headquarters, wanted to rest, but he couldn't sleep, and he always felt that there was some intelligence news coming, and the adjutant Ma Liangjian said: "Xiushuai, why don't we go to the city to rest and rest, I think it's okay there, Zhang Tingju, the biggest gentry in Hulan City, has repeatedly invited you." I think you live here, and one moment the telegram rings, the next moment the herald's footsteps sound, you must not have rested well. ”

"Zhang Tingju?" Wang Maoru thought about it, it was not bad to go there, live in the city and rest well, so he accepted his construction, and waited for Qiao Sanbang and a few other guards to run to Zhang's house. The Zhang family is an old resident in Hulan County, and the Zhang family was here when the Manchu nobles were staking land in the early years, and their ancestral home was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, and they were exiled here because they were implicated in the literary prison during the Yongzheng period. But the Zhang family has repeatedly come back to life, and now they have become the largest local landlords and gentry. Of course, the Zhangjia compound is incomparable with the kind of compound of the southern scholar family, but it has the characteristics of the northern landlord's house. The gate is high and the wall is thick, and it looks like a small city from the outside. There are usually four or five family members with guns standing on the wall, keeping an eye on them to see if anyone wants to climb over the wall to steal things, and the family also invited two dart masters to the town.

Zhang Tingju was very happy to see Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru smiled slightly, and said, "Trouble Mr. Zhang." I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and I want to find a quiet place to rest and rest, so I'm bothered. ”

Zhang Tingju hurriedly said, "The Overseer has arrived. Just let the humble house shine, Lord Overseer, please ......"

Wang Maoru was also polite, and asked Ma Liang to decoct the medicine. I lived in the main room arranged by Zhang Tingju, and everyone didn't dare to speak, knowing that the Overseer was insomnia, and they didn't dare to disturb it. However, Zhang Tingju's six-year-old daughter Zhang Xiaoying has no taboos, playing games as usual, and singing songs in her mouth, Wang Maoru likes it very much, and asks: "How old is this little guy?" ”

"Six." Zhang Tingju said helplessly, children, I can't say it. The little guy is not afraid of his father, which makes Zhang Tingju very helpless.

"Interesting." Wang Maoru smiled, escaped from a pocket watch he was carrying, gave it to the little guy Zhang Xiaying, and said, "Uncle gave you a gift." Uncle likes you very much. ”

"Don't." Zhang Xiaoying shook her head and said, "I want sugar, but my father won't give me candy." ”

"Hahaha." Wang Maoru picked her up and said, "Is it okay for your uncle to buy you candy?" ”

"Okay, okay."

"Ma Liang, go get some sugar."

Zhang Tingju hurriedly said: "Dashuai, Dashuai." There is sugar in the humble house, Western sugar cubes, but this thing is not good for children's teeth, so ......"

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "You're right. returned the child to Zhang Tingju and said: "You still know how to treat children better, I, I don't know how to take care of children, I'm really not a good father." Ma Liang came over with the medicine, Wang Maoru drank it in one gulp, looked at the house carefully, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a female writer in Hulan called Xiao Hong, but he only knew that Xiao Hong was the pen name of the female writer, but he didn't know her real name. He had never been to Hulan in his previous life, and if he had come, he would have found that this Zhang family was Xiao Hong's home, and the child he had just given away the pocket watch was the famous Ms. Xiao in later generations.

The Zhang family did not dare to disturb, but Wang Maoru had a good night's sleep, and there were no staff officers here arguing with each other about plans, revising the battle and summing up lessons, and so on. Wang Maoru got a good rest, and after taking the medicine, he slept beautifully.

At this time, the Cossack cavalry battalion in disguise had quietly approached Hulan County, and they went out day and night, and under the leadership of a team of beards, they quietly entered Hulan County and hid in Miaojiabao in Hulan County. There is a large forest in the south of this Miaojiabao, which is a famous mass grave in Hulan, and legend has it that this place is haunted. Later, a feng shui master was invited, and the feng shui master did this to subdue demons, but the next day the feng shui master hanged himself. So the mass grave of Miaojiabao became even more miraculous, and even those who were collecting firewood did not dare to approach the past on weekdays.

This group of Cossack cavalry was subordinate to the 4th Cavalry Regiment of the 3rd Army Corps in Eastern Siberia, and due to the division within the Russian army, many people defected to the Red Russian side. Now leading the remaining cavalry is the former regimental commander, Colonel Seliminov, although they are small in number, but they are all elite cavalry of the Russian army. After these people hid in Miaojiabao for a day, the beard who led the way contacted Wang Jiaquan, who learned of the arrival of a large number of Russians, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

So, he took advantage of the last day of his leave to run to Miaojiabao and met Seliminov and the bandit Yun Shatian, the negotiator Yang Jinkuan, and because he was from the Surveying and Mapping Office, the army's defense map was basically low-grade in his place, and even if he changed the defense deployment, he would not change much. After getting this map, Seliminov was pleasantly surprised, and that night, with more than 300 Cossack cavalry under his command and more than 20 local bandit beards and Wang Jiaquan, he quietly sneaked into the vicinity of Hulan County.

In order not to startle the snake, the Cossack Gate changed into the black military uniform of the Heilongjiang Route Army. And when there were soldiers interrogating, Wang Jiaquan was first in charge of the negotiations, and if it was unsuccessful, the Cossack cavalry immediately dispatched to kill the Chinese soldiers. In this way, by about eleven o'clock in the evening, it was already approaching the center of the headquarters.

At this time, Wang Maoru rested in the Zhangjia compound for two days, and the headache was swept away, in order to thank the Zhang family for the care of the court in the past few days, and also to win over the guardrail local gentry, with the chief of staff Jiang Fangzhen and many other officers in the Zhang family banquet and the local gentry to drink.

In the past few days, almost all of Harbin has been conquered, and only one Horvat's Eastern Railway Command has been conquered by two-thirds, and Horvat committed suicide by raising a gun and was saved by his secretary, but he was seriously injured and could no longer command. The remainder, led by Ilkashv, commander of the Far East Corps of the Eastern Eastern Railway, is still resolutely resisting. The tenacity of the Russians was unexpected, and Zhao Zengfu's second division attacked several times, but was counterattacked with all its might. In order to reduce casualties, Zhao Zengfu let the prisoners of war go to battle, which achieved certain results.

In order to stop the 3rd East Siberian Army of the Trans-Amur Military Region in Changchun and the 2nd East Siberian Army stationed at Suifenhe, Li Pinxian's 1st Division built a defensive line at Shuangci to prevent the enemy in Changchun, and Ren Yuanxing's 3rd Division built another defensive line at Wuchang.

Of course, the best defense is to attack, but Changchun is not so easy to fight, and the Heilongjiang Route Army is also powerless to attack at this time, so it can only choose to defend temporarily.

The Cossack cavalry endured for so many days, and prepared for this attack on the camp, seeing that it was about to arrive, Wang Jiaquan pointed to the larger room in the middle from a distance, and whispered: "That is Xiushuai's command center and dormitory." ”

"Is Wang Xiaobeard there?" The bandit Yun Shatian grabbed him by the collar and asked urgently.

Wang Jiaquan shook off his hand and said angrily: "What do you mean?" Respect me, what am I and what are you. ”

"The thing that sells the glory of the seller has to be sè." Yun Shatian said disdainfully.

"You ......"

Yang Jinkuan, who was wearing glasses, hurriedly said: "Don't quarrel, everyone, when you take this Heilongjiang territory, you are all brigade commanders." It's a noisy ball! It is important to kill Wang Xiusheng, and I will talk about it later. The clouds cover the sky, don't talk nonsense, they are all brothers. Lao Wang, go in and take a look, aren't you from the General Staff? It's easier to get in. ”

Wang Jiaquan shook his head and said: "That's the core of the headquarters, I can't enter without an order, I can only rely on you." ”

"You just ask, don't dare to see that Wang Xiaobeard is not in it, you are cowardly." Yun Shatian looked down on him even more.

Yang Jinkuan lifted his small glasses, measured the distance, and whispered to Selimenov beside him in Russian, Seliminov discussed with his subordinates, this place is about two kilometers away from the headquarters, if it is on horseback, it will rush over in two minutes, but unfortunately in order to sneak attack, those horses have long been tied to the mass grave in Miaojiabao.

After discussing it in a whisper, the Russians decided to take the risk of a sneak attack, regardless of whether the commander was there or not, but since it was the other party's headquarters, there must be other officers besides the commander, and if the headquarters was eliminated at once, it would be a great achievement. The commander of the Trans-Amur Military District is already preparing soldiers and leaving for Harbin.

"Mr. Yang, we decided to take a risk." Seliminov said as he pulled out his pistol and waited for the thief's big eyes to shine.

Yang Jinkuan is just a liaison, naturally no matter what the Russians do, as long as the Russians can kill Wang Maoru, it is easy to say, whether to kill Wang Maoru or not, he can pick it up in advance, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, brave Russian cavalrymen, I wish you success." ”

Seliminov grinned and did not smile, and looked down on these Chinese even more in his heart, but when things came to the end, he was as timid as a mouse, waved his hand, and three hundred Cossacks carried riding guns and sabers, and quietly ran over. Yun Shatian said to his subordinates: "Brothers, go up, if the idea is easy to do, take advantage of it, and withdraw if it is not good." The bandits also followed behind the Russians, and Wang Jiaquan hurriedly hid behind a wooden pier when he saw this, Yang Jinkuan stood beside him with a smile and said, "Why don't you go up?" ”

"It's all old brothers, so I can't do it." Wang Jiaquan smiled bitterly.

Yang Jinkuan smiled and said, "Is this Wang Maoru really in it?" ”

"I don't know, but he's a workaholic, and he should be in the command center most of the time." Wang Jiaquan analyzed, "In the past half a month, he has not closed his eyes for a day. ”

Yang Jinkuan asked: "What, I can't bear it?" ”

Wang Jiaquan sighed and stopped talking.
