Yuan Shikai looked at the coastline on the map, his scalp tingled. At this time, in addition to the tens of thousands of Beiyang New Army in Tianjin, countless sufficient and vast coastlines in Zhili and Shandong were directly exposed to the 30,000 southern troops.

When Yuan Shikai analyzed that Tang Jian's main attack direction would be in Weihaiwei, Shandong, so he mobilized a large number of new troops from Zhili, Henan and other places to gather in Jinan, Shandong, and standby. In Taiyuan, in order to prevent Nie Shicheng from going north, Yuan Shikai also stationed heavy troops in Shanxi.

Under this, Yuan Shikai's superior forces were divided into Taiyuan and Jinan. The remaining Beiyang New Army in Zhili and Liaodong were some miscellaneous troops with weak combat power. Judging from the combat effectiveness and firepower of the southern armies that captured Weihaiwei, these miscellaneous troops could not resist at all!

With heavy troops stationed in Tianjin, I believe the Southern Army would not be so stupid to fight head-on. There are Russian soldiers guarding the Port of Lushun, and the land distance between Lushun and Beijing is relatively far, so the Southern Army would not spend so much effort to follow this path.

Yuan Shikai thought about it and thought that the Southern Army's landing location should be chosen not far from Beijing and that the garrison power was relatively weak. But where would it be? Yuan Shikai's eyes kept wandering on the map.

Suddenly, Yuan Shikai had a glimmer of inspiration and subconsciously nailed his eyes to a place called Shanhaiguan, and the closest to Shanhaiguan was Qinhuangdao.

Qinhuangdao was named after Qin Shihuang's eastern tour and sent alchemists to the sea to seek immortality. Qinhuangdao has an excellent deep-water port. The port is wide and deep, and it is not frozen or silted. It is an excellent anchorage location. Moreover, Qinhuangdao is only 280 kilometers away from Beijing!

The Southern Army will choose its landing location in Qinhuangdao. Once the landing is successful, the defenders in Shanhaiguan will be attacked behind the scenes. If Shanhaiguan, the last barrier in Beijing, fails, the Southern Army can go south all the way, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

When Yuan Shikai thought of this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He should be in charge of Beijing at this time and mobilized heavy troops to support Shanhaiguan. After thinking about it, he immediately ordered people to prepare for horses and prepare to return to Beijing.

However, just as Yuan Shikai was about to set off, Liang Shiyi crawled and rolled in and cried, saying, "Master, something is wrong, Shanhaiguan is lost, the guard Lu Yongxiang is killed in battle!"

After hearing the news, Yuan Shikai suddenly felt his eyes blooming, his blood surged, and a feeling of dizziness surged towards him from all directions.

Liang Shiyi quickly stepped forward and helped Yuan Shikai who was about to fall, helped him to the chair and said, "Mr. General must take care of himself! The Southern Army only captured Shanhaiguan yesterday. He wanted to go south to enter Zhili. There were several of our troops on the way. They were not that fast yet. As long as we mobilized heavy troops north of Zhili in the shortest time, the outcome was still unknown!"

After a long time, Yuan Shikai finally breathed evenly, but his face was scary. Yuan Shikai said: "Come on horseback and return to Beijing! Never let the Southern Army go south and order all the Beiyang New Army in Zhili to gather in Chengde, northeast of Beijing, and you must defend Zhili, cough cough..."

"But, Grandmaster, you are like this..." Liang Shiyi was a little worried.

Yuan Shikai said: "Soldiers are very fast! You can't delay for a moment. You and I will leave first, and the army will arrive later!"

Seeing Yuan Shikai's resolute appearance, Liang Shiyi did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he quickly ordered several guards to hold Yuan Shikai and walk towards his carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Yuan Shikai's chest suddenly fluctuated violently and he began to cough desperately. Yuan Shikai subconsciously covered his mouth with a handkerchief. When he looked down, he found that there was a blood stain after the handkerchief, which was caused by his cough and vomiting blood.

At this time, Liang Shiyi lifted the curtain and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay? Look at your cough so badly?"

Yuan Shikai calmly placed the blood-stained handkerchief under his body and smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just suffered some cold last night and had a little cough. It's okay. I'll ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine after returning to Beijing!"

"At this critical moment, you must not let others know that they have vomited blood, otherwise the entire Beiyang New Army will immediately collapse in morale. Now the only way is to return to Beijing to defend Chengde!" Yuan Shikai said in his heart.

After Liang Shiyi took care of everything, he got on the carriage and sat on Yuan Shikai's right head. Liang Shiyi said to the horseman: "Okay, let's set off immediately!"

"Hold!" The groom raised his whip and landed on the horse with a "bang". The horse neighed, and the carriage began to move forward slowly and headed towards the direction of Beijing. Liang Shiyi didn't speak for a long time. He saw Yuan Shikai closing his eyes and resting, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

Wuchang Wartime Command.

When a telegram from the north was sent to the command center, all the officers of the command center cheered in groups, because the telegram said that yesterday morning, the advance regiment of the Marine Corps headed by Sun Chuanfang had successfully captured Qinhuangdao. This morning, Zhu Lianjie's troops followed successfully besieged Shanhaiguan, which was the "No. 1 pass in the world". The Beiyang New Army Guard Lu Yongxiang of Shanhaiguan was killed in battle, and Shanhaiguan had fallen into the hands of the Southern Army.

Yan Fu said happily: "It's great. As long as Zhu Lianjie's troops successfully enter Zhili, then this counterattack will be half successful!"

Tang Jian did not answer. After a while, Tang Jian turned his head and grinned at Yan Fu. Before he could start talking, Yan Fu immediately shook his head vigorously, took two steps back, and said, "Commander, I see that you are really cunning in your smile. What else do you have to say?"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Mo Fuyan is a roundworm in my belly. Even if I smile, I am aware of what the meaning of my back means?"

Yan Fu patted his head in pain and said, "Commander, forget it, your idea is decided, it will be useless for me to dissuade me. Commander, please just say it straight!"

"Hehe, Mr. Yan is still understanding!" Tang Jian said, "Now that Yuan Shikai's defeat has just begun to appear, there must be no war south of the Yangtze River. I can't just stay in Wuchang to watch the fun on the front line. Besides, the fun must come forward to watch it. I decided to set off tomorrow and go to Shanhaiguan to command the battle myself!"

Yan Fu nodded. At this time, Yan Fu would play the role of helping Tang Jian stabilize the rear, so Tang Jian could let go of his hands and feet and punch and punch on the front line without any worries.

"Well, then thank you Mr. Yan!" Tang Jian patted Yan Fu's shoulder and thanked.

"And, there is still a personal grudge between Yuan Shikai! I want to ask him in person to solve this grudge that I have been struggling with for several years!" After Tang Jian said that, his eyes began to become blurred, as if he had returned to the time when he was working on his career with Yuan Shikai.

Yan Fu also felt deeply and nodded slightly behind Tang Jian.

...

"Meng'er, don't pack so many things anymore. I'm going to fight, not to go sightseeing. You said you asked me, a commander-in-chief, to carry so much luggage. Wouldn't that make your soldiers laugh at me?" Tang Jian advised.

Since Tang Jian returned from the command center, Tang Jian told Deng Yimeng about his intention to go to Shanhaiguan to command the battle himself. Although Deng Yimeng was not very willing to let Tang Jian go to the front line to take risks, this was his future husband's decision, and as a wife, she should support it.

So after Deng Yimeng pouted and said a big push to pay attention to this and that, she helped Tang Jian sort out his luggage that he would set out tomorrow.

Tang Jian looked at Deng Yimeng who was busy in the room with soft eyes, especially when the morning sun shone in, reflecting on her busy figure. Tang Jian felt that Deng Yimeng was so beautiful at this moment.

Deng Yimeng wore a European-style long skirt that Gelina gave her today. Although Deng Yimeng is not a Westerner, she does have a unique charm when wearing a Westerner's long skirt.

Especially when Deng Yimeng bent down to Tang Jian to pack up his things, the curved buttocks appeared faintly in the long skirt. Under the reflection of his eyes, Tang Jian could even see the furry hair on Deng Yimengxue's neck.

Tang Jian, who was sitting on the chair, felt dry mouth after looking for a while, and a ball of flames in his lower abdomen surged up, and his breathing became heavier.

At this time, Deng Yimeng bent over and asked Tang Jian with a pair of changing socks: "Brother Jian, why don't you bring more changing socks?"

Tang Jian looked at Deng Yimeng who turned around and swallowed unconsciously, because the European long dress that Gelina gave Deng Yimeng was of low-cut. Deng Yimeng just bent down and gave Tang Jian a happy look, and the infinite spring light was in his eyes.

Deng Yimeng saw Tang Jian standing there in a short answer, so she followed Tang Jian's gaze and looked down. She just looked down at her chest that was full of gullies. She immediately said with a pretty face: "Brother Jian, you are so bad. People are asking you questions, but you are looking around!" Deng Yimeng took the pair of socks to Tang Jian, then threw them directly into Tang Jian's arms and said: "I'll give it back to you! I've prepared all the clothes for you to change, and only these socks are left. You can do it yourself!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Tang Jian was so angry that he was so moved by Deng Yimeng's graceful figure that he could not let Deng Yimeng go so easily. As soon as Deng Yimeng finished speaking, Tang Jian took Deng Yimeng's tender hand and pulled her into his arms.

Deng Yimeng turned around by Tang Jian and sat face to face on Tang Jian's legs. He seemed to feel the foreign object under his thighs. Deng Yimeng's cheeks were red and moaned.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Who told you to be so beautiful? I can't see enough!"

Deng Yimeng was about to speak, but suddenly felt a strong masculine aura coming to her face. Deng Yimeng closed her eyes obediently, and then she felt a pair of thick lips pressing against her lips.

Then, Tang Jian pounced open Deng Yimeng's teeth and enjoyed the nectar in it.
