Chapter 174: Stealing Money

When Li Hongzhang led his peace negotiation delegation to leave Tianjin Port on the German merchant ship "Volunteer" flying the Yellow Dragon flag, Wei Jichen also began to implement his plan.

Wei Jichen placed a table of side dishes in the room and invited Song Qing to come over for a drink.

On the same day, Song Qing heard Wei Jichen's request for a temporary rest. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed. Can he not agree? Wei Jichen, who was fighting the most fiercely, said that he couldn't rest without rest. Wouldn't it be even more unbearable for other armies?

After these two days of rest, the spirits of the soldiers were indeed much better, and Song Qingyun considered continuing the attack.

Wei Jichen suddenly said that he would invite him over for a drink, which surprised Song Qing. After all, he was about to attack, and Wei Jichen would not be so free.

Not long after, Wei Jichen, who had been waiting for a long time, heard footsteps coming from outside the door and quickly stood up to greet them.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Song Qing with white hair and casual clothes. Song Qing was in high spirits and it was hard to tell that he was over 70 years old.

Wei Jichen couldn't help but feel guilty and worried. He wouldn't do this and take Song Qing's life. He probably wouldn't, seeing as he was in such good spirits.

The two of them were already very friendly, so Wei Jichen stopped being polite.

"Commander Song, hurry up and leave." Wei Jichen was thinking wildly in his mind, but his hands were not slow. He took a step forward, supported Song Qing's hand, and pulled him to the chair beside the table.

"You're such a good boy, why are you free to invite me to drink tonight?" Song Qing sat down with a smile. Because his eyes were a little small, it looked like there was only a slit left.

"As you always said, I can't walk around with you much if I have nothing to do. Isn't there a saying that says that if you want to be promoted quickly, you have to please your boss." Wei Jichen drank wine for Song Qing, He said with a smile.

Wei Jichen's words made Song Qing shake his head and smile, and said helplessly: "When did Zijie become glib?"

Wei Jichen chuckled and didn't reply. Instead, he said, "Young man, I took some time off from my busy work and asked my soldiers to go out of the city to hunt some game. I am not as happy as everyone else. No, I will use it to honor you when you grow old."

Song Qing couldn't help but twitch his index finger when he saw the game on this table.

He picked up his chopsticks, picked out a piece of hare meat, tasted it, and praised: "It tastes good, but you definitely don't have any good intentions. You must be asking me for something."

Seeing Song Qing's confident look, Wei Jichen didn't know what to say. It seemed that he had long been known as 'treacherous' in Song Qing's mind.

After three rounds of drinking.

When Wei Jichen saw that Song Qing was eating with gusto and almost finished a plate of rabbit meat by himself, he was pleasantly surprised and quickly stopped him: "Song Qing, you must leave some for the kid. It's so hard to get the game." , The boy hasn’t tasted it yet.”

"Okay, I'll give you a whole one tomorrow." Song Qing picked up two more chopsticks, then put them down, smiled and looked at Wei Jichen who was about to speak, and continued: "If you have anything to do, don't hide it. It’s okay, just say it.”

Wei Jichen nodded, drank half a glass of wine gently, his expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Song Shuai, let me tell you directly. In fact, I think there was a slight problem with your previous attacks."

"Is there something wrong with the strategy?" Song Qing stroked his beard, looking thoughtful.

"Yes, the Japanese have concentrated most of their troops in Fuzhou, but the rear is very empty. For example, Jinzhou only has less than 4,000 troops." Wei Jichen analyzed slowly and slowly.

Song Qing's body was shaken, and he asked with some disbelief: "Do you want to give up attacking Fuzhou and attack Jinzhou instead? But you kid must know that it's not even a day's journey from Fuzhou to Jinzhou, and the Japanese can go from there at any time. Fuzhou sent troops to support, not to mention that Jinzhou is behind Fuzhou. If we do this, we will be surrounded by the Japanese. "

Wei Jichen waved his hands disapprovingly and said with great pride: "I am Sun Wukong who got into Princess Iron Fan's belly and won't stop until she disturbs her. Besides, I am not suggesting that Song Shuai's whole army go to attack Jinzhou, but use most of his troops to attack Jinzhou." Continuing to attack Fuzhou as a feint attack to contain the Japanese forces, a small group of elite detoured to attack Jinzhou. As long as the battle was resolved quickly, one night was enough to change flags. When Jinzhou City was recovered, the Japanese retreat in Fuzhou City would be cut off. It’s more urgent than us.”

Fuzhou City is the closest to Jinzhou, while Dalian Bay and Huayuankou are a little further away. There is plenty of time for Wei Jichen to perform.

The reason why Wei Jichen wanted to attack Jinzhou was because the headquarters of the First Division was located there. To capture the thief, capture the king first.

More importantly, the Japanese have robbed countless wealth in Jinzhou. The money robbed by the Japanese from all over Liaodong will be collected here, then sent to Dalian Bay, and finally shipped back to Japan. Jinzhou is a very large China. Operation station.

If he could get this wealth, it would be enough for Wei Jichen's early development, so he would encourage Song Qing to attack Jinzhou.

When Song Qing saw that Wei Jichen was speaking eloquently, he couldn't help but think about it seriously. He pondered for a while, but he was still a little worried, and his expression didn't change much.

Seeing this, Wei Jichen continued to persuade: "Commander Song, now that our army is blocked at the foot of Fuzhou City, do we have to hit our heads and bleed with blood? There is no way to go. In the end, it is the road to victory."

Song Qing's face was uncertain. After being silent for a while, his face became resolute and he said seriously: "I will trust you this time. I personally led the troops to attack Jinzhou at night, and you are here to pretend to attack and recover." I will not give up until I win Jinzhou.”

Song Qing's stomach gurgled before he finished speaking. Then he looked uncomfortable, held his stomach with both hands, and shouted: "No, no, I have to go to the toilet."

"Song Shuai must have eaten too much game and had a stomachache. I told you to leave more for me, but you just didn't believe it." Wei Jichen picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth with a comfortable look, and made a firm conclusion.

Song Qing was about to say something else, but his stomach protested again. He could only groan and hurried away.

That night, Song Qing went to the toilet six times in a row, and he was so dizzy that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, his legs were trembling, and his expression was listless.

The next morning, Song Qing lay on the bed with soreness and weakness. Fortunately, he was still conscious, and he immediately summoned the generals to discuss Wei Jichen's plan of "feigning an attack on Fuzhou and actually taking Jinzhou".

Out of trust in Wei Jichen and the fact that this plan was good, most of the generals, including Ma Jinxu, Xu Bangdao, and Ma Yukun, agreed.

As for the candidate to lead the troops to attack, since Song Qing was "injured", it fell to Wei Jichen.

Song Qing suddenly thought to himself: "Is my diarrhea also caused by this little guy?"

Thinking of this, he was shocked and felt more and more likely.

Attacking Jinzhou is unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will be killed. However, the danger of sitting outside Fuzhou City and feinting is minimal. Seeing Wei Jichen sitting upright with a serious face, Song Qing was secretly moved in his heart. This friend of different ages is worth making friends with.

If Song Qing knew that Wei Jichen's mind was full of gold and silver, and he wanted money more than life, would he be so angry that he would jump up and kick Wei Jichen hard?

After discussing for a while, they decided to draw out the best troops from each camp to make up a total of 6,000, and then hand them over to Wei Jichen to lead the attack on Jinzhou. Ma Jinxu and Ma Yukun will go with Wei Jichen.

The time for the attack is sooner rather than later, so it is set tonight. The rest of the generals will still attack Fuzhou City to confuse the Japanese.
