The changes in Chengdu reached Wang Hengyue's ears as soon as possible.

For this scene that would definitely happen, Wang Hengyue didn't show too much surprise. All of his current focus is on his reading master.

The Chengdu Mutiny was just a prelude to the chaos, and after a while, the time for Sichuan to fight was coming, and if there was no strong armed force enough to defend the place, it would inevitably be just a small wave in the tide of history, and it could be submerged without a trace at any time.

When Wang Hengyue was actively reorganizing his army for war, Xiong Kewu finally returned to Sichuan.

At this time, Xiong Kewu was appointed by the League as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Army, and soon returned to Sichuan under the order of Sun Yat-sen, and accepted the leadership of the Shu Army and political axe in Yucheng.

Xiong Kewu, who returned to Sichuan, did not go to Yucheng immediately, and chose Rong County as the first stop.

and Wang Hengyue met in Rong County at the beginning, and it was here that Wang Hengyue saved his life. When I came back here again, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, things are not people.

Today's Wang Hengyue is no longer the small squad officer he was back then!

The current Wang Hengyue is the deputy governor of the "Han Sichuan Military and Political Axe" and the commander of the Reading Power Mixed Division. However, on the streets of Rong County, banners such as "Long live the political axe of the Chinese Revolutionary Army" and "Long live the Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army" are still posted everywhere. It seems that the appointment of Chengdu has not affected the people of Rongxian at all, and in their minds, Wang Hengyue is still their "Hengshuai"!

Everywhere you can see soldiers coming and going, and the recruiting office is crowded. A large number of porters hurried into the city against one wooden box after another, and one worker was in a hurry, and the wooden box fell to the ground, and there were bullets scattered all over the ground.

Those wooden crates are full of weapons and ammunition, right? Wang Hengyue has a lot of money and plenty of weapons!

And when he learned that Xiong Kewu arrived in Rong County, Wang Hengyue also opened all his postures and gave Xiong Kewu enough face. All the officers above the battalion level of the Reading Power Mixed Division went out, and under the leadership of Wang Hengyue, they all performed a military salute:

"Welcome Commander-in-Chief Xiong to inspect Rong County!"

"Shuzhi, my brother Shuzhi, what kind of way are you posing?" Xiong Kewu greeted him with a smile: "Such a big pomp, I can't stand it!" ”

"Brother Kewu is now the commander-in-chief of the northern part of the Shu army, and Wang Hengyue is just a small division commander, as a matter of course!" Wang Hengyue said with a smile.

While the two walked towards the headquarters, Xiong Kewu said: "Where is the commander-in-chief, I was ordered to return to Sichuan and accept the leadership of the Shu army's political axe." On the way, I received an order from the Shu army and appointed me as the commander of the first division. ”

Wang Hengyue looked surprised: "What? Teachers? Isn't it the commander-in-chief? I'm about to call on to welcome you. ”

"Shuzhi, you electrified general, don't act with me anymore!" Xiong Kewu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I haven't received the appointment yet, and you know before me, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”

Wang Hengyue laughed, entered his headquarters, and invited Xiong Kewu to sit down: "Brother Kewu, I also wonder, there is a military and political axe in Chengdu, and there is also a military and political axe in Yucheng, who do you say I should listen to?" ”

Xiong Kewu's face became more serious: "Shuzhi, I came to Rong County today to tell you about this matter. After the establishment of the Shu military and political axe in Yucheng, the 57 prefectures and counties in southeastern Sichuan responded to the wind and merged them under the Shu military and political axe, condemning Pu Dianjun and others to compromise with Zhao Erfeng to establish the Han Sichuan military and political axe. The military and political axes of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces also believe that the Chengdu political axe is a 'political axe of the elder association' and does not recognize it. It is unanimously recognized that the political axe of the Shu army in Yucheng is the revolutionary political axe, and it is the only legal political axe in Sichuan. General Cai Yi, the governor of Yunnan Military and Political Axe, sent a letter to Hubei Military and Political Axe, hoping to unite and attack Chengdu. The Shu army and political axe have decided to march westward, and invited Yunnan and Guizhou to send troops to support. Which do you say is legitimate? Which side should you listen to? ”

"General Cai Yi wants to crusade? Hubei, Guizhou, and Yunnan also want to crusade? Wang Hengyue's face was full of surprise: "How do you let Chengdu resist this?" Zhao Erfeng is dead, and Pu Dianjun has also stepped down, it seems unnecessary, right? ”

"Zhao Erfeng is dead, and Pu Dianjun has indeed stepped down, but Yin Changheng is still there, and Luo Lun is still there." Xiong Kewu said seriously: "One of these two people is a powerful figure who is keen to compete for military power and status, and the other is the helmsman of the Elders' Association, where are the people who are truly revolutionary?" In this extraordinary period, I hope you can continue to support the revolution, support the Shu army and political axe, and assist the Shu army and political axe to complete the true reunification of Sichuan! ”

"Yes, yes, Hengyue sincerely supports the revolution and reunification." As he spoke, Wang Hengyue suddenly changed his words: "It's just that Hengyue has something unclear, and he asked Brother Kewu for advice." ”

"Why be polite, what else can't you and my brother say?"

Wang Hengyue said slowly: "The matter of Sichuan, when Sichuan is resolved, why should the Guizhou army and the Dian army be invited into Sichuan?" At present, the Manchu court is still there, and everyone does not work together to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, how can they take care of who is in charge of the house in Sichuan? Is it necessary to unify the whole country by force before sending troops to capture Yanjing? I really don't understand that. ”

Xiong Kewu was speechless for a moment, and Wang Hengyue said slowly and logically:

"My revolutionary army is fighting Duanfang, fighting Zhao Erfeng, now Duanfang is dead, Zhao Erfeng is also dead, who else is fighting? Do you have to fight to the death in Chongqing and Chengdu, and come out when you see a superior? Fighting, it is impossible to fight highly, talking, but everyone can talk, at present, Yuan Shikai is still in the north and south to negotiate peace, how can Sichuan not negotiate peace? ”

Xiong Kewu was speechless.

Wang Hengyue really changed, he was very respectful to himself at the beginning, opening his mouth "sir" and closing his mouth "sir". But now what he said, he remembered it straight to the point, hid a needle in the cotton, and showed no mercy.

But what he said, he couldn't refute it.

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Brother, I am the fairest, I don't fight Chengdu, I don't fight Chongqing, I just hope everyone can sit down and talk, what can't be solved?" Whether it's Chengdu or Yucheng, I don't care who unifies whom, but if anyone moves my place, Brother Kewu, I, Wang Hengyue, can turn my face and don't recognize people! ”

Xiong Kewu was about to speak, Ma Xiao suddenly walked in in a hurry, and Jiang Baili followed by him, also with a serious face.

As soon as the words "Heng Shuai" and "Heng Shuai" came out, Ma Xiao saw Xiong Kewu on the side, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yunnan's reinforcement army is coming to Yibin!" ”

"What, it's really here?" Wang Hengyue stood up suddenly, took the information handed over, looked at it for a while, and sneered: "Okay, good, help Sichuan and Sichuan, and actually hit Lao Tzu's territory first!" ”

Xiong Kewu was inexplicable: "Tell it, what's going on?" ”

"Brother Kewu, please take a look for yourself!" Wang Hengyue handed over the information to Xiong Kewu with a gloomy face.

It turned out that in 1911, Cai Ye left Guangxi and went to Yunnan to serve as the assistant commander. At that time, many of the members of the alliance in the army were his subordinates and got along well. After the Wuchang Uprising, the members of the Yunnan League prepared to revolt, believing that Cai Ye sympathized with the revolution and decided to invite him to participate in the preparations for the revolution. On the night of Chongyang, the Yunnan uprising was successful, and Cai Ye was promoted to the governor.

Cai led the Yunnan New Army uprising in an organized manner, and soon took control of the whole province, after which the political situation in Yunnan was stable, the troops were tightly organized, and the morale was strong. The Yunnan New Army was well-trained and one of the few fully organized elite forces in the rebellious provinces. As a result, Li Yuanhong, the governor of Hubei, Tan Yanhong, the governor of Hunan, and Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief of the war, asked Cai Ye to lead the Northern Expedition.

However, Yunnan is remote in the southwest, with rugged mountain roads and long roads. There was no effective means of transportation in the southwest, and when the division went on the Northern Expedition, it could only march on foot, and it was impossible to reach the front line quickly. At the same time, the order was chaotic after the armed riots in various parts of Sichuan, some areas were still under the control of the Qing army, and the establishment of the Sichuan military and political axe of the Han Dynasty made Cai Ye decide to attack Chengdu first!

So, on November 11, Cai Ye formed an army to aid Sichuan, with the strength of one division, divided into two echelon regiments. The road into Sichuan in Yunnan was rugged and the march was slow, and the reinforcement army finally came from Yibin less than 100 miles on December 16!

Xiong Kewu was shocked.

The Yunnan New Army is elite, but is Wang Hengyue's new army bad? This fight must be dark, from now on, it will inevitably implicate the whole of Sichuan, from then on, Chengdu Yucheng will no longer be able to negotiate peace!

Wang Hengyue sneered constantly: "Okay, since you want to fight, I'll accompany you to fight!" ”

In fact, Wang Hengyue couldn't be clearer about Cai Yi's purpose of aiding Sichuan. Cai Ye is indeed a big hero, but he is a little anxious to send troops to Sichuan, Guizhou and Guizhou this time.

Cai Yi's intentions were good, he only wanted to concentrate on the Northern Expedition and do the best he could for the republic, but the subsequent changes were beyond his expectations, and he also deviated from the original track!

Originally, the plan of the Northern Expeditionary Army organized by Cai Ye was to go through Luzhou, Sichuan, and go out of the Yangtze River to participate in the Northern Expedition.

However, Cai Ye saw that the internal order of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces was chaotic, and he believed in a telegram to Sun Yat-sen that it was difficult to expect these two provinces to restore order on their own and affect the overall situation.

But a series of huge changes after that completely deviated from Cai's previous ideas.

Now that Yunnan's Sichuan aid army has arrived in Yibin, no matter what aspect is considered, this will not help the situation in Sichuan, but will easily make the situation further out of control!

Wang Hengyue knew that at this time, it was time for him to show a tough attitude:

"Order, I will send out all the mixed divisions, armed guards, security teams, and artillery teams, gather all troops in Yibin, pull up Lao Tzu's belongings, and completely annihilate the incoming enemy at all costs!"

Xiong Kewu was really anxious: "Please wait a while, Xiong Kewu still has something to say!" ”
