Before Yang Xingguo and his party could rest when they returned to the headquarters, the imperial edict sent by the court came.

More than a dozen guards and eunuchs stood in front of Yang Xingguo with superiority, waiting for Yang Xingguo to kneel down to pick him up.

Not to mention the identity of the commander of the Liaodong Army of Yang Xingguo, the identity of the Liaodong Army from later generations. Apart from the father who died at the beginning, Yang Xingguo has never knelt down.

Seeing that Britain had no intention of kneeling to accept the order, the eunuch who took the lead immediately cursed: "Yang Xingguo, do you want to rebel? Don't kneel down in the face of the imperial edict, this is a ruthless act. Aren't you afraid that I will go back to report to the Gao court, and the court will send a large army to encircle and suppress your Liaodong army?"

Yang Xingguo replied calmly: "I believe you won't!"

The eunuch who sent the order did not know why Yang Xingguo was so confident and arrogant. Just as he was about to continue cursing Yang Xingguo, Yang Xingguo waved his hand, and dozens of guards holding rifles immediately surrounded them. He held the rifle and pointed all the black wounds at them.

The people who came to pass the order were either the Great Eunuch or the Great Eunuch, and they were all the closest people to Cixi and Guangxu.

In terms of identity, they are very noble. No matter where they go to the Qing Dynasty, they will be treated like ancestors and be served.

But, in terms of courage, they are the smallest.

So, as soon as the guard with a rifle appeared, more than a dozen people couldn't say a word because of nervousness.

What's more, beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on their foreheads, and even their legs began to tremble.

Finally, the eunuch who was just talking was pushed out by them and said, "Mr. Yang, no, General Yang's troops were angry. I will never tell you what happened today. You can let your subordinates put the gun down to prevent fire. ""It's okay to put the gun down, but don't forget your promise just now. If you dare to make any tricks, you will find and kill you even if you return to the capital and hide in the Da Nei Palace! I, Yang Xingguo, are not even afraid of the Japanese and Russians, let alone you timid little fish and shrimps! ""Tell me! What's the matter with the court sending you here!"

After feeling the strong murderous aura emitted from Yang Xingguo and dozens of guards around him, the eunuch's cold sweat broke out again. He quickly replied to Yang Xingguo: "I promise not to kneel down and say it out, nor will they say it out!"

"As for the imperial edict of the court, General Yang can see it yourself! General Yang has been awarded the second-rank Liaodong general by the court. In addition to General Shengjing, General Yang has the highest official position and title!"

After reading the content of the imperial edict, Yang Xingguo could hardly believe his eyes.

While suddenly being stunned, he quickly asked the eunuch in front of him: "When did the imperial court release so much? It was sealed and rewarded! This is absolutely abnormal, there must be something I don't know!"

The eunuch who sent the order quickly took out another imperial edict and said, "General Yang, there is an imperial edict here, you will understand it after reading it!"

Soon, Yang Xingguo's face showed a sudden enlightenment. After thinking about it, he said to the eunuch who passed the order in front of him: "You go back and tell the court that my Liaodong army will definitely obey the order. But if the Japanese want to pass through my defense zone safely, the Japanese must come here with sincerity."

The Japanese garrisons in Fengtian City and several surrounding counties have a total of more than 14,000 troops.

As soon as Dashanyan received the recovery of the court, more than 1,400 Japanese troops left Fengtian and handed Fengtian to the imperial army that came to accept it.

But the vast and more than 10,000 Japanese troops had just walked less than thirty miles, and a regiment of Liaodong troops blocked their way.

"Baga, haven't the Qing court already given them an order? Why are they still standing in front of us and not leaving! Send someone to contact the Liaodong Army opposite and let them get out of the passage!" The Lieutenant General Division Commander led by the Japanese army ordered loudly in anger.

Soon, the Grand Secretary who was sent to contact him hurried back.

Under the gaze of the Lieutenant General Division Commander, he replied nervously: "Tei Commander, let us on the opposite Liaodong Army!"

When did the Lieutenant General Division commander suffer such grievances? If this were the case in the past, he would not have thought about it. He directly ordered the troops to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army in front of him and fight back all the way.

But now it is different. Not to mention the strong combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, only the more than 10,000 people in their hands have lost their fighting courage to fight against the Liaodong Army because of the continuous defeat of the main force.

In this case, no matter how dissatisfied the division commander was in his heart or how angry he was, he could only hold it in his stomach.

Facing the Grand Staff, who was hesitant and had no soldiers at all, the division commander, who was already full of anger and had no place to send him off, he became even more angry at this time.

He looked up and cursed at the Grand Secretary in front of him: "Baga, what else can I say at this time? What did the Liaodong Army say? How can we get out of the passage and let us leave here!"

The master quickly replied: "The Liaodong Army left us half of the rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, artillery and ammunition, and then we were allowed to pass through their defense zone. Otherwise, we could only fight all the way back!"

"Bageyalu, this is blackmail, it is blackmail. The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire will never accept this kind of blackmail. At worst, we will fight back. We have more than 10,000 people, and I don't believe that so many of us can't fight back to Lushun!" The division commander seemed to have been insulted and cursed at his subordinates.

The chief of staff next to him quickly stood up and persuaded: "Please think twice. The main force equipped with heavy artillery brigades is not the opponent of the Liaodong Army, let alone us...!"

"As long as we start fighting, I'm sure we will be surrounded by heavy troops of the Liaodong Army!"

"According to the commander-in-chief report, the Liaodong Army's heavy artillery is equipped with nearly two brigades. At that time, these heavy artillery alone can blow us all to death!"

"I beg the division commander to think twice and report the situation to the commander-in-chief and let the commander-in-chief propose to us to make a decision!"

A large number of veterans killed in battle is absolutely deadly for a unit.

Since its establishment, the Manzhou Army has been drawing veterans from China, with a total strength of more than 300,000.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Manzhou Army lost more than 100,000 veterans. In several battles with the Liaodong Army, the Manzhou Army lost another 70,000 to 80,000 veterans.

The losses of more than 200,000 veterans not only had a fatal impact on the combat effectiveness of the Manchu Army, but also had a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire Japanese army.

In Dashanyan's view, when veterans suffered heavy losses, even if new recruits were added to the army, the troops could not recover to their pre-war strength in half a year or even a year.

Therefore, for Dashanyan now, every veteran is very important, not to mention the more than 10,000 veterans who retreated from Fengtian.

In this case, as soon as the Liaodong Army requested to pass it to Dashan Iron, Dashan Iron ordered the troops to agree to the Liaodong Army's request that half of the weapons and equipment should be left to buy money through the Liaodong Military Defense Zone.

However, Dashanyan is not the one who suffers a loss.

While ordering the troops to leave money to buy roads, they quickly passed through the Liaodong Military Defense Zone. While asking the country to protest against the Qing court, they demanded that the court compensate the imperial government for the money paid to the Liaodong Army.
