Liu Tong rode a horse for a day and a night, and finally caught up with Li Shirui and his army, and learned that Wang Yongan was suddenly summoned, Li Shirui hesitated at first, and then returned to Kangding with Liu Tong, and ordered Duan Changhu to lead the army to temporarily station in place. Duan Changhu immediately pulled Li Shirui aside and asked in a low voice, "What if the big marshal is ready to attack you?" ”

"My life will be given to him." Li Shirui chuckled.

"Huh?"

"What else? Losing Jiangbei and losing the support of the big marshal, what are we? Li Shirui asked rhetorically.

Duan Changhu was stunned for a moment and complained: "It's a big deal, let's go to be the king of the mountain." ”

"Don't be stupid, old Duan." Li Shirui smiled, "Can you go to be the king of the mountain, but can your son and daughter also go to be the king of the mountain?" Do you want them to be two little bandits? ”

"But ......"

"Don't be, I'm free and measured, the handsome won't treat me like this." Li Shirui comforted, but from the heart, he was still uneasy, and when he returned to Kangding City, he heard Wang Yongan ask him if he was willing to go to Mexico with him, go to San Lucas, and fight to the death with Mexican warlord President Huerta.

"If I went, I temporarily gave up the glory and wealth of the country." Wang Yongan said, "And whether we can defeat the Mexican army, I am not sure, maybe we will all die in Mexico, and we will no longer be able to enjoy everything at home." ”

Li Shirui said without hesitation: "I'll go to San Lucas." ”

"Don't think about it?"

"No, you don't." Li Shirui replied, "It's rare to have such a big war, let me fight enough at once, hahahaha......"

As the so-called plan has not changed quickly, Yuan Shikai was about to make a big fuss about Li Shirui's arrival as the commander of the Sichuan Army, but suddenly received a telegram from Wang Yongan, Li Shirui decided to give up this opportunity after thinking twice, and there was a crisis in the Chinese Special District of St. Lucas, and he had to go to support, Li Shirui decided to follow him to St. Lucas immediately.

Yuan Shikai was puzzled, and immediately asked his foreign adviser about the current situation of San Lucas, only to learn that Huerta wanted to recover San Lucas, and was immediately surprised, if Huerta recovered San Lucas, the newly established Republic of China would also lose face, after all, it was the only special zone for overseas Chinese. Some aides even suggested that the Republic of China should send a navy to escort overseas Chinese, and follow Wang Yongan's last operation to conduct an overseas military operation.

"Stupid, that time it was to protect overseas Chinese, but this time it can't be used to protect overseas Chinese." Yuan Shikai even sent troops in the name of protecting overseas Chinese, indirectly recognized the subordination of San Lucas to Mexico, and then gave the Mexicans an excuse to directly recover San Lucas, and the Republic of China was not yet capable of directly interfering with foreign governments.

Yuan Shikai sent a secret telegram to Wang Yongan, asking about his plans, and Wang Yongan called back that he had stopped disarmament and was ready to send 20,000 troops out of Sichuan, down the river and directly to Shanghai, to join Fang Xianwu's 20,000 troops, and gather 40,000 Jiangbei troops to support St. Lucas. Once San Lucas is recovered by Mexico, the five million Chinese there will be slaughtered by Huerta and the Mexicans, and he will never sit idly by and watch San Lucas suffer such a catastrophe.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shikai replied to him with one word: Dry!

Wang Yongan laughed when he received the call, and said to Feng Heng and others: "Look, President Yuan Da and I are the kind of people, no matter how hard we fight ourselves in China, we will be consistent with the outside world when we meet gringos." ”

Li Yao said: "He hopes that you will lose more." ”

Wang Yongan said: "There is also this reason, but in short, it is better to fight with the Sichuan army than to fight with the Mexicans, the civil war is not a hero, the foreign war is a hero." ”

Being able to send Wang Yongan out of the country is something that Yuan Shikai never dreamed of, this opponent is too tricky, and his most troublesome political opponent is Wang Yongan, not Sun Yat-sen, who is born in marriage with thorns. Now that Sun Yat-sen, who is covered in thorns, has been driven to Japan, Wang Yongan, who is slippery and does not spare his hands, ran to the Kangzang area and became the emperor of the soil in the name of protecting his family and defending the country. Yuan Shikai is not chasing, not chasing, let's fight, there is nothing to fight in that remote place, and Wang Yongan did not give him a chance to fight. But don't fight, I always feel that I am the overlord of Chu, Wang Yongan is Liu Bang, and one day I will be killed by him and the army.

Just when Yuan Shikai was the most difficult, Wang Yongan met Huerta, a bad star, and Wang Yongan deserved to be unlucky, St. Lucas was his door of death, and he had to protect St. Lucas.

Wang Yongan's relationship with St. Lucas is very complicated, inadvertently, he created St. Lucas, he gave overseas Chinese a beacon, he let the world know Chinese, and also re-acquainted with Chinese soldiers. Therefore, abroad, Wang Yongan's fame is much greater than that of Yuan Shikai, don't look at the ambassadors to China who support Yuan Shikai more to become a big president, that is because Yuan Shikai can dominate China. However, if Wang Yongan runs with him, the vast majority of foreigners will think that he will become president.

He is a nuisance, and if he thrives, he will overthrow Yuan Shikai's country. It's a pity that he first met the Japanese, and then met a madman Huerta, of course, Yuan Shikai thinks that the person Wang Yongan should not meet the most is him, Yuan Shikai Yuan Xiangcheng.

In this era, no one can be smarter than Yuan Shikai, no one has Yuan Shikai's courage, and no one has Yuan Shikai's luck. This era is destined to belong to Yuan Shikai, Wang Yongan was born, but he still can't stop Yuan Shikai's light. If Wang Yongan is like a meteor across the foreign sky, Yuan Shikai is the domestic noon sun, shining on the earth.

Sometimes people have to admit luck, Wang Yongan's luck is good enough, but Yuan Shikai's luck is even better, which causes Wang Yongan to fall behind Yuan Shikai in everything, even if Wang Yongan's army is strong Yuan Shikai, even if Wang Yongan's personal money is more than Yuan Shikai, he can fall behind in everything.

At this time, Yuan Shikai sent Wang Yongan out, which was far more comfortable than driving him out - at least Yuan Shikai was satisfied, and no one in the country could make trouble for him anymore. In this regard, Duan Qirui, who originally regarded Wang Yongan as a great enemy, was worried, and he finally found out that Wang Yongan's biggest advantage was that he was the only one who could contain Yuan Shikai, and without Wang Yongan, no one could contain Yuan Shikai anymore.

When leaving Xikang Province, Wang Yongan did not accept anyone's farewell, and took Feng Heng, Li Shirui and 20,000 troops with them, and they set off in the early morning and set off in the direction of the rising sun. Wang Yongan felt as if he was being manipulated by the hand of fate, and he turned around, but history is still like this.

"Perhaps, the only thing I can change is not history, but the fate of some people in history, such as the fate of five million overseas Chinese in St. Lucas." Wang Yongan rode on his horse and thought to himself.
