Xiao Qian's words frightened the generals nearby.
"General!"
"General, you must not!"
"How can we counterattack? This..."
Things on this battlefield are indeed changing rapidly, but they always have to move towards a general strategy. At this time, they should defend passively, strategically give up some places, and then counterattack. But Liu Zheng's intention was obviously to have their army prepare for a counterattack! This difference is huge. It involves all aspects of a war, including food and grass, baggage, ammunition, troop movements, and deployment. These things are difficult to change in a short period of time.
So once they're ready for a full-scale counterattack, there's no turning back.
They all persuaded Xiao Qian.
"General, the general is outside, and you are not accepting your orders!"
"General, Mr. Liu is very powerful, but he doesn't know the real situation in Liaodong..."
Xiao Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why didn't he know this truth? But although he was a fierce general under King Wei, he had always had a different kind of belief in Liu Zheng. This kind of belief was not innate, but was confirmed through incidents one after another. To prove a truth, what Liu Zheng said can always be verified with facts.
Although the situation in the Liaodong war was not as severe as the northwest war situation.
However, once you make the wrong choice, you will still be in danger.
Therefore, Xiao Qian still planned to obey Liu Zheng's orders. Despite the dissuasion of many people, he still issued the order for a full-scale counterattack!
For a moment, the Tsarist Russian soldiers who had just planned to land on Sakhalin Island were all confused.
Ushakov was really confused when he got the dragon flame army on the battleship and started to counterattack.
It shouldn't be.
Xiao Qian of Long Yan is a famous general. Even he would not dare to be careless against Xiao Qian. This is a famous general who is extremely brave, but also careful and careful every step of the way. Under such a fierce attack by Tsarist Russia, he actually chose to counterattack? This is simply difficult for people to understand, and it is even more difficult for Ushakov to understand.
There is no benefit in going head-to-head.
"What on earth was he thinking?"
Ushakov frowned.
He did not believe that Xiao Qian would make such a common-sense mistake, because even if it were given to his own students, they would not choose this way.
Could it be...
Long Yan is going to bring a large number of reinforcements?
His eyes lit up.
In the past few days, Li Chao's army has been mobilized somewhat frequently. It even caused him to suffer a lot. But after the last confrontation, Li Chao still did not dare to be too presumptuous because he was afraid of Tsarist Russia's power. Could it be that they are going to make a comeback again? Ushakov couldn't help but gasped when he thought of this.
Could it be...
This time, does Li Chao really plan to join the war between Long Yan and Tsarist Russia?
That is equivalent to Li Chao declaring war on Tsarist Russia!
How dare they!
"General, what should we do?"
"These Long Yan people are really not afraid of death!"
For a time, Ushakov was also caught in a dilemma.
How to choose?
Continue the onslaught and go head-to-head with the Longyan people?
Or is Xiao Qian bluffing?
There is definitely no benefit in fighting head-on. Because it will inevitably increase the casualties on Tsarist Russia's side.
However, after all, Rumyantsev on the northwest side of the battle had sent an urgent report, and they had launched a general attack on Long Yan's northwest. It won't work if he doesn't cooperate.
"Keep on attacking!"
"Continue the fierce attack! We must land on Sakhalin within three days!"
"yes!"
…
In Menshikov, in Tsarist Russia, his hands cramped from counting money these past few days. This time, he really made it happen! He looked at the gold and silver he had acquired, which already ensured that he was undoubtedly the richest man in Tsarist Russia. He might even have become the richest man in Europe!
Got rich, how can I say that?
enjoy!
Naturally enjoy!
Of course, it was impossible for Menshikov to take this wealth and flee abroad.
He is not stupid. The reason why he has all this wealth and the reason why he can enjoy it is because this is Tsarist Russia and he has a Tsarist brother! Once you take this wealth and go to other places, you will become the fish on someone else's chopping board!
Drunk life and death, singing and dancing!
Let’s play!
As the old saying goes, if a person becomes inflated, he will easily become crazy. Once he becomes crazy, he will no longer be able to care about those things.
For example, the Qian family father and son, he only sent people to strictly monitor them, but on the surface, he still treated them as honored guests.
So what he didn't know was that the Qian family father and son were planning to escape Tsarist Russia today.
Because they calculated that time was almost up.
On this day, the Qian family father and son also held a large-scale banquet and reception in the mansion awarded by Menshikov. The two of them were in St. Petersburg at this time, and they were already the objects of many people's attention. People secretly thought in their hearts. He scolded them both as Menshikov's bastards, and at the same time treated them as nobles, using all kinds of flattery.
After all, he is Menshikov's "favorite"!
The Qian father and son's consecutive drinking parties also made Menshikov lower his guard against him. At first glance, he was obviously from the same group.
By the time it was late at night, the Qian family and his son had drunk too much.
But the scene was still full of wine and the atmosphere was warm.
Because the beauty of Longyan brought by the two of them was so charming that these guests did not want to leave for a long time.
When the two were carried to the bedroom by the servant, the two suddenly woke up and looked at each other.
"Today is the day!"
"Are you ready?"
"Haha, I just stole the exit token from the guard!"
The two said, looking at each other and laughing.
After that, he began to disguise himself and walked out through the back door under the cover of night. Although there is a curfew in St. Petersburg, what the two of them are holding is the guard's token! So there were no obstacles at all along the way. Because after dressing up in disguise, they were completely different from before, and then they deliberately brought one more person with them, and the three of them went together, pretending to be three drunken drunkards. This combination is perfectly normal for Tsarist Russia.
After successfully leaving the city, the three of them took a carriage that had been prepared outside the city and ran towards the west at the same speed.
That's right.
West side of St. Petersburg.
That is not Longyan. If the two of them go east and return to Longyan, they will pass through many places in Tsarist Russia along the way. Once Menshikov discovers that the two of them are missing, he will definitely be furious and order the whole country to stop them.
Therefore, the two of them had already planned their route.
Start with St. Petersburg and enter the Ottoman Empire!
Then, from the Ottoman Empire, through the waterway, return to Longyan!
The next day, Menshikov was stunned for a long time when he received the news that the two were missing.
He really couldn't figure out why the two of them escaped...
But something felt wrong.
He felt that a storm was coming.
