Three days later, Yang Rui, who was handling official business, received an invitation. After a closer look, it was Zhang Zongchang’s wedding banquet. He asked Xu Liezu, “What is Zhang Zongchang doing? Get married at this time?”

"Sir, I'm marrying a concubine. Zhang Zongchang has a wife in his hometown in Shandong." Xu Liezu knew that Yang Rui was not clear about some folk customs, so he explained this.

"Then who is this woman? What's the origin? Is there an investigation from the Political Department?" Yang Rui asked. Anti-espionage has always been an important task of the Revival Army, especially after joining the Russian army, the task became heavier. According to investigation, at least one of the ten Chinese employed by the Russian army was a spy bought by the Japanese army. Before the Intelligence Bureau was established, the Political Department was responsible for this work.

"Sir, I have checked it with the Yuanshi, there is no problem. The woman's name is Xiao Jinfeng. She was originally the bearded Yang Daxin from Heilongjiang. Last year, Yang Daxin died, so Xiao Jinfeng took over his team and became the boss himself. This time, I don't know why she brought people to Liaodong. She met Zhang Zongchang in the casino in Zhangyi City two days ago. You also know that Zhang Zongchang was just like this. He bet with this little Jinfeng all night, and in the end he lost to Xiao Jinfeng with money... Later, I don't know why the two got together, so he wanted to marry Xiao Jinfeng as his concubine." Xu Liezu saw the investigation results of the Political Department, and only felt that Zhang Zongchang was really an adventure. He met a beautiful widow and was rich.

"Well, that's the case. It seems that you still have to go to a wedding banquet." Zhang Zongchang was a general in his later generations, and one of them was "I don't know how many wives he has." Yang Rui was not surprised by his concubine. He played with the pen in his hand and said so.

Zhang Zongchang's wedding banquet seemed to be very grand, and he booked the Zuixian Tower in the city. The Russians in the army heard that there was a lot of wine to drink, and Yang Rui, as the leader of the army, had to go to congratulate him. At six o'clock on the 22nd, Yang Rui put down all the things in his hands and went to the city to attend the banquet. The banquet started at 7 o'clock, and he didn't want to be late.

Zuixian Tower is the most grand restaurant in the city. It is said that it is the property of a retired adult. For the wedding banquet, the entire building was arranged brightly. The lanterns were hung on the street. As soon as Yang Rui got off the horse, the doorman's "distinguished guest" had not finished calling, Zhang Zongchang took the bride out to greet him with a festive look. The bride was dressed in red and covered with a headscarf. Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she should be a beauty. Among the people who came out, in addition to Zhang Zongchang and his wife, there was a beautiful woman in red clothes standing beside the bride. It seemed that she was a bridesmaid or a maid. Yang Rui was about to say something congratulations. The suona next to her rang, and the firecrackers were lit up by someone. They kept clattering and making noises. It was hard to say, so he could only enter the house and enter the table under Zhang Zongchang's welcome.

Although there was no banquet in the restaurant at this time, the beards were already on the verge of the beards and the fists were so lively. However, as soon as Yang Rui entered the door, the sound in the hall suddenly became quiet. The beards of the second master sitting at the banquet looked at Yang Rui, and they said in private, "Zushan Diao is here..." Most of them had only heard of the mountain Diao, and very few people had actually seen it. Seeing this, Yang Rui only bowed in all directions and went in. After Yang Rui got into the banquet, Xu Liezu walked aside and asked Li Erhu, who had been here for a long time, and said in a low voice: "What's the situation? Is it safe?"

"The whole city has been cleared once recently and many people have been caught. Everyone in the restaurant has also checked it, but no one has any problems has been asked. In addition, the wine and food are all made by me, and we are also watching the food in the kitchen. We will try the drugs and keep them safe." Yang Rui's safety is the focus of countless people's work these days. Li Erhu also knew this completely. For this, he didn't close his eyes for several days. "Damn it, just for a pheasant, we are so tired that we are like dead dogs. What's this?"

Xu Liezu didn't have a good impression of Zhang Zongchang, but he couldn't speak according to Li Erhu's wishes. "He was helped by Russians and Russians, and he was also the commander of the Second Division. The commander always wanted to give him face. After all, he was from the same army."

The specific security plan was done by Xu Liezu and several staff officers. Although Zhangyicheng was already under the jurisdiction of the Independent Army, he was still extremely nervous. No one else was afraid of the Japanese, just because he was afraid of the Japanese's bad luck, so he kept a close eye on it everywhere.

Xu Liezu was nervous, but Yang Rui completely relaxed at the banquet. Zhang Zongchang was careless and flushed on the front of the wedding. Yang Rui kept drinking with Yang Rui. Seeing that he was very happy, he couldn't refuse his face. After a few drinks, his expression became a little confused. In a daze, he only smelled a gust of fragrant wind beside him, and a pleasant voice in his ear called "Master Man..." and then a pair of jade hands poured him wine. At the same time, Yang Rui turned his head and saw that it was the woman in red next to the bride. He had not looked at the woman carefully before, but now he got close to her, and only saw that her skin was white and tender, but the powder on her face and the red marks specially drawn between her lips made Yang Rui from the modern era dare not look at it.

Yang Rui's momentary dullness made the woman named Xiao Yinfeng look shy and happy in her heart. She had heard a lot of reputation of Zuoshan Diao. The storyteller said that he was eight feet tall and eight feet long. As soon as he said this, everyone who listened to the book laughed, saying that this gentleman was talking nonsense, eight feet tall and eight feet long. Isn't he square? Isn't he square? Somehow Xiao Yinfeng thought of this joke while drinking wine. She held back her laughter. Before the wine was filled, she stood up embarrassedly and went. Just go. But when she left, she even touched her arm intentionally or unintentionally on Yang Rui's shoulder before leaving.

Zhang Zongchang didn't see the little collision between Yang Rui and Xiao Yinfeng. Instead, Xiao Jinfeng, who was wearing red gauze, looked carefully. A few days ago, she had asked about Zuoshan Diao several times through Zhang Zongchang. Today, she came to see Zuoshan Diao. Now she saw Zuoshan Diao seem to be interested in her sister. She pinched Zhang Zongchang under the table. Zhang Zongchang felt so happy that he felt so painful. I don't know what happened. Xiao Jinfeng attached to his ear and said a few words, so he put down the wine bowl and said to Yang Rui seriously: "Master, this..." Last night, Xiao Jinfeng forgot what he repeatedly explained to him. He really didn't know what to say, so he said directly: "Master, my sister-in-law is handsome, but she has no in-laws' family yet. If the Master doesn't dislike it, would it be nice to send it to the Master's camp?"

As soon as he said this, everyone on the table was stunned. Several bearded men suddenly laughed. Xiao Yinfeng, who was serving him, hurriedly hid out of the room. Although he had no good feelings for Xiao Yinfeng, Yang Rui couldn't resist everyone's face. He said, "You Lao Zhang should take care of your own tricks. The war is about to start now. This battle is not as easy as last time. The enemy and our army must decide the outcome. If something happens..."

When everyone said that the war was about to begin, everyone was very dangerous on the battlefield. Even if the Japanese brigade commander was surrounded, he would die a few more times. No one could say whether he could still survive after the battle. For a moment, the joy in the room became much weaker and became solemn. After Yang Rui said that, he did not expect such a result, so he had to hold the wine bowl and say again: "No matter how much he did, he had wine and was drunk today, come and drink it!"

I haven't drunk for a long time, and once I let it go, I have to drink happily, especially soldiers in the war. It is not so easy to face the outcome of life and death. Yang Rui was drunk the next morning. When he woke up, he used to touching the smoke, but found that his right hand was numb and disobedient. He turned his head and was startled in his heart. It turned out that there was a woman sleeping beside him. The woman leaned on his arm and slept soundly. Although the military quilt was large, she did not wrap all the women. A piece of fragrant shoulder was exposed under her black hair. Through the gap between the quilt and bellyband, it seemed that she could see the snow-white bulge on her chest... Seeing Yang Rui's heart was full of thoughts, but looking at her sleeping face again, she felt that she was not as good-looking as Cheng Rui... Thinking of Cheng Rui, a slightly hard part of Yang Rui, it completely softened. When he was slowly about to pull out his arms, the woman on the bed was awakened.

"Masterman..." The woman looked at Yang Rui and shouted softly, and then she felt shy when she saw her exposed shoulders.

"Uh...you..., are you awake?" Yang Rui didn't know what to say at all. He had no idea how this woman appeared. Yes, it seemed that she was Zhang Zongchang's concubine's sister. He couldn't remember what she was called, and he couldn't help but stare at her shoulders that she wanted to cover but did not cover. Yang Rui felt something had risen on her body.

Seeing the man staring at him, the woman turned over shyly, but she calmed down after a while. Just as she was about to come over, Yang Rui had already put out the flames and got up to get the clothes on the stool beside the bed. Just as he was about to get dressed, he saw a jade hand reaching out to serve him. Yang Rui was not afraid of it, but he just put on his clothes and went out. He was now asking Xu Liezu to ask how this woman came from, which confused him - he felt that many things were wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Sir, this..." Xu Liezu really didn't know what to say, "Last night, the husband got drunk, so the woman was with him. Later, he saw that the husband was inconvenient to ride a horse, so Zhang Zongchang got a sedan chair. The woman was in the sedan chair at that time. She said that the husband asked her to accompany him... I look at the husband... she, just..."

Dizzy, after all, I was still drunk and was it because I was a mess? "What happened to me? It's clear!" Yang Rui was still a little confident in his character. He never got drunk and was very quiet. This is also one of the reasons why he dared to get drunk.

"At that time, sir... hugged her, and I... couldn't stop her..." Xu Liezu said very hard, but at least his words made Yang Rui recall some things at that time.

"Okay, I understand." After hearing Xu Liezu's words, Yang Rui's face felt a little hot. He was a role model, but now he was so confused after drinking. He really shouldn't have been drunk by himself. After understanding the whole story, Yang Rui was about to go back, but Xu Liezu said again: "Sir, Qingyuan called last night..."

When he heard that Qi Qingyuan was calling, Yang Rui had no idea of ​​returning to the camp. He was not a big deal and would not call him. Moreover, his work and schedule had always been at night, and now it was already during the day, so it was only a few hours to be delayed.

When Yang Rui arrived at the General Staff, Qi Qingyuan had two things in the telegram. One was that according to the plan, the two hundred dead soldiers who went to India to hunt for gold were about to set off. The Japanese-Russia-Japan-Russia naval battle was about to begin. While the world was attracted by the Russian fleet, it was very feasible to catch a hand in India. Early investigations have long shown that the temple with gold was only five kilometers away from the sea, and there were many rivers in that place, and hundreds of tons of ships could even drive along the river to a very close place to the temple. This matter is of great importance and is related to the funding issue of the Antong-Bong Railway. Yang Rui has been preparing for a year, and now the personnel are only taking action as planned.

The previous incident was a routine notice, and the second thing was to ask for instructions. Qi Qingyuan and the Japanese had already set up a line. The Japanese wanted to command Qi Qingyuan's troops in accordance with the Manchu Volunteer Army. This was completely different from the previous plan given by Yang Rui. Yang Rui's intention was only to divide the labor and cooperate, that is, Qi Qingyuan's troops attacked the Russian army in Fushun. The attack time could be coordinated with the Japanese army, but the specific attack plan was not controlled by the Japanese. Especially the Japanese proposed that officers entered the army to command the troops, which was not even thought about. The two sides had a great disagreement, and Qi Qingyuan came to ask for instructions. In addition, he seemed to feel the Japanese plan from the Japanese army's offensive requirements. There was a large section in the telegram about the Japanese strategy.

"Reply, the Japanese army can send a liaison officer to Huairen County. We promise to promptly inform the Japanese army of the war report, but we have the right to decide on the specific strategies of attacking the Russian army. Also, those 1, 3, 4, and 7 are smoke bombs, which are not necessarily guaranteed by the Japanese army. However, when discussing the specific, we must make the other party feel that these are what we value the most. In fact, we just need to hold the coal mine in our hands. Nothing else matters." Many of the Japanese army's things are very incompatible with the Fuxing Army, with bullets and shell calibers.

No, even if the Japanese gave him 10,000 guns, it would be useless if he wanted them. It would be nonsense if he really fought without a backup. "Also, the death squad was toasting me like them, and wishing them all the best." Yang Rui said so. In fact, he really wanted to see him off in person, but he was separated by people and land, so he could send him even if he wanted to send him. The document finished the last few points that Yang Rui had oralized and asked Yang Rui to sign and send him a report. As soon as he left, Yang Rui read Qi Qingyuan's content about the Japanese offensive strategy several times and pondered it on the map.

According to historical records, the Japanese army's plan for the Battle of Fengtian was to hit the east and west again. First, they mobilized troops to attack the left wing of the Russian army, that is, the Fushun area. After Kuropatkin thought that the focus of the Japanese army was on the left wing and dropped a large number of reserves to the left wing. The Japanese army then asked Nogi's third army to attack the Russian right wing in order to attract the remaining Russian reserves to the right wing, and to mobilize the enemy reserves on both wings to achieve the purpose of mobilizing the enemy reserves. Finally, the second Japanese army and the fourth army attacked the death to break through the Russian army's central front.

To be honest, Kuropatkin, in history, followed the baton of Gentaro Ota, and he had no idea of ​​seeing through the Japanese plan. After the war started, he transferred the reserve team to the left-wing mountain forest area and hit the Japanese plan 100%. However, the Japanese army also had miscalculations, that is, the Russian central position was too strong, and the second and fourth armies of the central position could not break through. In the end, the Japanese army could only count on Nogi's third army to encircle the Russian right wing and reach an encirclement of the Russian army.

The purpose. When Kuropargent saw that he was surrounded by the Japanese army, especially the danger of cutting off the railway, he hurriedly ordered to retreat. It was difficult to retreat in a fierce battle. The cooperation between the troops would inevitably be chaotic and the morale of the army would be difficult to stabilize. The result of this order was that the troops from the right wing and the central position retreated smoothly due to convenient transportation, but the retreat of the troops in the mountain forest area of ​​the left wing was tragic due to poor communication. Most of the tens of thousands of Russian troops captured in this battle were left wing troops.

According to Qi Qingyuan's telegram, the Japanese army asked him to attack the Russian army in Fushun area. Compared with the map, the Russian army's most left wing was actually Qinghe City in Benxi area. This place is more than 70 kilometers away from Fushun's straight line, which is considered to be a relatively forward-looking line on the entire Russian defense line. The newly formed detachment defended here was a newly formed detached team. Qi Qingyuan's telegram said that all the Japanese army's requirements for him were fully met, and there was only one condition, which was to attack desperately and ignore casualties. In this way, the Japanese army still used the previous method according to historical inertia, and hit it again. Since his strategy has not changed, then I feel relieved.

Yang Rui was excitedly holding the telegram and was about to explain the Japanese plan to Leo and some people. Although he knew that he had not yet issued an order, Leo said: "The Army Command ordered us to drive to Sifangtai in three days and the attack is expected to start on the 29th."

Yang Rui was very surprised to receive the order, but after reading it, he slapped the telegram and scolded: "Damn it, treat us like monkeys! The previous time was this plan, why did this time still be this plan? Those staff members were full and full?!" The combat plan this time was exactly the same as the plan of the previous Heigou Taiwan Battle. If it weren't for the different date and signature, Yang Rui would have thought it was a month ago.

Leo smiled and said, "I was also surprised, but the order was like this. I have already interrogated the staff. The plan for this attack was the same as the last time, but the commander was different. According to Colonel Madlitov, the staff of the Operations Department discovered that the Japanese left-wing troops were transferred back after the Russian retreat. Afterwards, they judged that the last attack should have hit the weakness of the Japanese army. Now they regretted the last retreat, and believed that as long as such an attack occurs again and the Third Army on the Central Front also supports it, the Japanese army will definitely be defeated."
