Super Dictator

Breaking camp and setting off the next day, Wei Jichen saw Nie Cairong, who was blushing and hiding from him with his head lowered. He smiled and stepped forward to say hello, "Brother, I made a mistake while drinking last night. I almost mistook you for a woman. I apologize to you." , how about it, it doesn’t matter much?”

Nie Cairong's eyes fluttered and blinked twice, and he said with some confusion: "Brother Wei, you just made a mistake while drunk, didn't you see anything else?"

Wei Jichen looked slightly surprised and said, "What else?"

"It's okay if it's not, it's okay if it's not!" Nie Cairong patted her chest and relaxed. If Wei Jichen really found out her identity, she still didn't know how to get along with Wei Jichen, so it would be better to maintain the original relationship like this. .

While the two were talking, Cheng Bushi, Li Yunfei and others came over.

"Sir, we have half a day's journey to Ximu City. According to the news, Fengsheng'a, Nie Guilin and others have escaped the Japanese pursuit and entered the city the day before yesterday." Li Yunfei looked at Wei Jichen who was silent. , reminded: "We killed Feng Sheng'a's nephew, I'm afraid this person will not let it go, and he might do evil behind his back."

"Well, now we can only take one step at a time. Without Xiuyan, we can only go to Ximu City. In the past, Ximu City was Haicheng, the gateway to Liaochen. Once the Japanese occupy Haicheng, they will threaten Liaoyang and Fengtian. Wait for the land, so we have to block the Japanese under Ximu City to prevent them from occupying Haicheng. "

Wei Jichen recalled that in history, the Qing army organized several counterattacks because of the occupation of Haicheng. Unfortunately, they all failed in the end, which put them at a strategic disadvantage in the later period, leading to the occupation of major towns in the Liaodong Peninsula. The Qing army completely collapsed on the Liaodong battlefield.

"As for Fengsheng'a, we don't need to pay attention to him. After all, our Wei Zijun and the Northeast Army are not under each other, and he can't do anything to me." Wei Jichen also thought in his heart at the same time. Fengsheng'a has lost the battle, and now He probably has too much time to take care of himself, and is afraid that the court will blame him, and there will still be time to take care of his little nephew.

But at this time, Fengsheng'a, who had just fled back to Ximu City in shock, was still living a comfortable life. He didn't care at all about losing Xiuyan, as long as he could save his life. If his life was lost, he would have nothing. .

In order to avoid being held accountable by the imperial court for the loss of Xiuyan, Fengsheng'a and Nie Guilin had already thought of countermeasures before breaking out of the siege and made the relationship clear.

Fengsheng'a telegraphed to the court at that time: He fought fiercely with the Japanese in Xiuyan for several days and killed many Japanese. The Japanese became angry and sent a large number of additional troops, but our reinforcements had not arrived yet. So they had no choice but to lead the troops to retreat to Ximu City to do more. Intend.

After the court received his telegram, they believed it to be true. They really thought that Feng Sheng'a had retreated after several days of losing the battle. In addition, Feng Sheng'a also had several princes in the court who could speak well, so When he arrived at Ximu City.

Instead of blaming him for losing the territory, the Qing Dynasty allowed him to take charge of the military power of Ximu City, hoping to fight the Japanese again to the death.

Feng Sheng'a sat in the main seat in high spirits. He started with Nie Guilin and the officials of Yuan Ximucheng.

These people were talking and laughing while watching the singers dancing to entertain them.

"General, I congratulate you on defeating the Japanese and achieving a great victory." An official from Ximu City stood up and toasted.

Fengsheng'a accepted the official's flattery with a natural expression and had long forgotten the embarrassing scene of his escape that day.

Now, even he seemed to feel that it was a great victory for him to escape the siege of the Japanese with more than 5,000 men, lose several thousand men and kill hundreds of Japanese.

Compared with the great victory at Caohekou, it shouldn't be much worse, Feng Sheng'a thought in his mind.

Nie Guilin was still a little ashamed. Hearing all the flattery around him, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. He gently lowered his head, picked up a piece of bear paw and put it into his mouth.

"General, Ximu City will be defended by you from now on. We all hope to follow the general and achieve a great victory." A former defender of Ximu City continued.

No ability, as long as you have connections.

Fengsheng'a nodded with a smile on his face and said calmly: "If the Japanese dare to invade Ximu City, I will tell them never to come back."

Fengsheng A guessed that the weather was cold now and it was winter. The Japanese had just captured Ximu City and would rest for ten and a half months anyway. Therefore, he was not afraid of making big claims before it was too urgent.

"By the way, general, why haven't the reinforcements from Dakaoling arrived yet?" Another general asked.

"Are the reinforcements in Dakaoling the Wei Zijun and Yijun commanded by Wei Jichen?" Nie Guilin asked aloud.

"Exactly, I heard that Wei Jichen has made great contributions on the Eastern Front. He has become the commander of an army at a young age. I have been in the army for decades and am still a small adjutant. I am really out of step with him." The general replied with jealousy and envy in his tone.

When Feng Sheng'a heard the people below talking about Wei Jichen, his face darkened and he drank a glass of wine.

He just received a report from a subordinate who ran back yesterday that Wei Jichen killed a distant nephew of his in Mayang Town.

Feng Sheng'a wasn't very impressed with this nephew at first, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Wei Jichen knew his identity and dared to kill him on the spot without giving me, the deputy, any face. This is Feng Sheng'a's fault. Sheng A cannot tolerate it.

Seeing that several generals were still talking about Wei Jichen, Feng Sheng'a snorted coldly and said: "The Huangkou boy just relied on luck to win a small victory. He was praised to the sky and completely forgot who he was. Only then did he Come and support us on the Western Front, but don't cause any big trouble."

Feng Sheng'a's words immediately caused the generals to change their tune. The generals were already prejudiced against Wei Jichen, who was young and held a high position, but this time they spoke even more brazenly.

"Yeah, I heard that Wei Jichen also calls himself the God of Death. He's really not afraid of Feng Da flashing his tongue."

"I heard that Wei Jichen never thinks too much about fighting. He rushes forward and fights for a while. It's because he was lucky. Otherwise, the bones would have been gone. It is wise to strategize like a general and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. He What a kid, nothing."

…

Fengsheng'a squinted his eyes, touched his beard, and nodded. After a while, he said: "Wei Jichen doesn't care about the overall situation at all. He only thinks about getting promoted and making a fortune. Before, under Xiuyan City, if it weren't for this person's delay Come to the rescue, why did I lose the city? And I heard that the reason why he delayed in rescuing was to encircle and annihilate a Japanese cavalry brigade. My soldiers and horses contained most of the Japanese in Xiuyan, so it would be better for him to ignore Liaodong. For the overall situation, I am secretly accumulating military achievements in the rear. When this person arrives at Ximu City, I will definitely blame him. "

As if to confirm Fengsheng'a's words, not long after he said these words, an assistant leader hurried into the room and loudly reported.

"Report to the general, the reinforcements Wei Zijun and Yijun have arrived outside the city. General Wei and General Ma are waiting for dispatch outside the city." Nazuo leader was obviously very good at talking. Wei Jichen just asked people to go and talk about it. Sheng'a, when this assistant reported to the police, he said that he was at his disposal.

Fengsheng'a sat up straight and said seriously: "Let these two people come in to see me."

"Yes, general." Zuo Ling received the order and turned around to leave and go down to deliver the message.

At the gate of the city, Wei Jichen and his generals were talking to Ma Jinxu.

Wei Jichen stretched his body on the horse and said with a smile: "After many days of hard work, we finally arrived at Ximu City. Now we can have a good rest. After Fengsheng'a is assigned to the station, I will have a good sleep."

Wei Zijun and Yijun were still waiting outside the city gate for a while. They had to negotiate with the defenders in Ximu City before setting up camp.

Ma Jinxu glanced at the Japanese command knife in Wei Jichen's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the Japanese will not give Zijie time to rest. Zijie severely humiliated the Japanese a few days ago, and they are thinking about how to take revenge."

"The soldiers will block me, the water will cover me, and the Japanese will look for me just in time, so I don't have to look for them." Wei Jichen said jokingly.

"Two commander-in-chiefs, General Feng has already hosted a banquet in the palace for you two. I would also like to ask the two of you to go to see General Feng next." The leader who just reported the news came up with a few soldiers and said with a smile. .

Wei Jichen took Mengzi and Huzi with him, dismounted from his horse and walked into the city with Ma Jinxu.

The rest are preparing to set up camp.

There are very few pedestrians in the city, and they all come and go in a hurry with low eyebrows. The houses and shops on the street have already closed their doors. The whole street seems a bit empty except for the patrol soldiers who pass by from time to time.

Wei Jichen and others followed Na Zuo to the outside of the government office. Youdao was a well-established official in the government office. There has always been a tradition in ancient times that officials did not repair the government office, so the appearance of the government office looked a bit shabby.

However, after entering, Wei Jichen realized that he had seen too little. The Rongrong courtyard and the exquisitely decorated scenery opened Wei Jichen's eyes.

Na Zuoling only led the way and did not talk to Wei Jichen and others. After entering and leaving several times, Wei Jichen heard a burst of laughter from the hall in front, as well as the sound of pipa instruments and the melodious sound.

Wei Jichen frowned secretly. The battle was about to come, but Feng Sheng'a and others were still enjoying themselves without considering the current predicament. It seemed that it would be difficult to win this battle.

As soon as we entered the hall, we could hear the aroma of rouge. Several scantily clad women were dancing in the middle of the hall, singing and laughing happily. It was so lively.

"General, bring General Wei and General Ma here." Nazuo leader knelt down, saluted, and reported loudly.

The laughter suddenly stopped, and the singer covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound, leaving only the dancers who were still dancing tirelessly in the field.

All the generals in the hall focused their attention on the door, looking at Wei Jichen, Ma Jinxu and others who walked in with calm expressions, either indifferently, jealously, or with a sneer.
