Chapter 144: Entering Guizhou

Looking at Yang Shan, who was arrogant, Gan Ruotong, who was sent out by Liu Xianshi to question, turned pale. "Your Sichuan army is in charge of our Guizhou affairs, general, it doesn't seem reasonable to do this..."

"Helping neighboring provinces to quell civil strife is an order given by our governor before leaving, if you want to be reasonable, go to Chengdu to talk to our governor." Sitting on horseback, Yang Shan glanced at Gan Ruotong mockingly. "Or do we have to be invited by someone to come?"

"Don't you all know how to write the two words of truth?!" Gan Ruotong gritted his teeth and asked loudly.

"Presumptuous!" Before Yang Shan could react, several pro-soldiers on the side had already raised their horsewhips and whipped down.

Although Gan Ruotong was whipped open by a few pro-soldiers, looking at the more than 10,000 Sichuan troops behind Yang Shan like a long dragon, more than a dozen soldiers who escorted Gan Ruotong over didn't even dare to pull out their guns, and they didn't even dare to protect back...

When Gan Ruotong was drenched in blood, after signaling a few pro-soldiers to stop, Yang Shan propped up his head with a horsewhip. "It's really miserable, so let's do it, for the sake of you being smoked so badly, I'll give you a message for free." Saying that, Yang Shan glanced at Gan Ruotong mockingly. "This time, our Sichuan army will enter Guizhou to quell the chaos because someone invited..."

"Who is it?" Hearing Yang Shan say this, Gan Ruotong couldn't care about the pain on his body and hurriedly asked.

"It's your Privy Council President Zhang Bailin, Lord Zhang..."Of course Yang Shan was lying to him, Zhang Bailin had just fled to Guangxi not long ago, even if Feng Nan's speed was fast, it was impossible to "invite" Zhang Bailin back so quickly. However, as long as the news reaches Guizhou, then even if Zhang Bailin is not invited back, at least in the initial period of time, it can reduce a lot of trouble for Yang Shan.

"Sure enough, it was Zhang Bailin who invited him back, no, I want to go back to Guiyang immediately and tell Lord Ren and Lord Liu..."

However, just as Gan Ruotong turned over and got on the horse, Yang Shan raised his hand and shot him off the horse.

"Your Excellency!" Several soldiers surrounded him, but the rest looked at Yang Shan with a look of horror.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Saying that, Yang Shan looked at Gan Ruotong, who was lying motionless on the ground. "If it's just a message, it doesn't matter if it's one less person..."

However, seeing Yang Shan doing this, the chief of staff on the side frowned. "Division commander, will this be..."If possible, the chief of staff still hopes that this combat operation will shed less blood, although a few pro-soldiers just now have been drawn hard, but no one has been killed. Now that Yang Shan raised his hand and killed the officials sent by others, wouldn't he want to do things to the end?

After shaking his head and signaling the soldiers to hurry up and get out of the way with Gan Ruotong's body, Yang Shan said to the chief of staff. "Before leaving, the governor once said to me privately that the person named Liu Xianshi had probably invited the Yunnan army to enter Guizhou to intervene in the civil strife in Guizhou, so no matter what he did this time, it would not be good..."

"What did the Governor say?" The chief of staff was taken aback. "Then why didn't the governor say it directly at the combat meeting?"

"What else? Of course, I was afraid that Minister Song would oppose it. Yang Shan smiled bitterly. Do you think, when the Dian army did not intervene, Minister Song was so opposed, if he knew that the Dian army was also involved, would we still come out? ”

In fact, in addition to being afraid of Song Dinghan's opposition, there is another reason that Yan Guang cannot explain the source of the news. If it weren't for the fear that Yang Shan would pay unnecessary losses in the case of carelessness, Yan Guang wouldn't even want to talk about it.

"But the Dian army, it's really a bit of trouble..."

Seeing that the chief of staff looked a little worried, Yang Shan sneered. "What's the trouble, there is only one town in Yunnan, and it is provisional, like the 3rd Division, even if the situation in Guizhou is chaotic, is it possible that the governor can still send all the troops of the entire town?"

Hearing Yang Shan say this, the chief of staff nodded. "That's right..."

Although the performance of the Dian army in the early Republic of China was much more dazzling than that of the Sichuan army, it can be seen from the 36 towns plan formulated by the Manchu government axe in the late Qing Dynasty that Yunnan was indeed worse than Sichuan in terms of economy and other aspects. Moreover, not every governor can be like Yan Guang, who can completely ignore financial issues in the formation and training of new troops and the purchase of equipment. (In the plan of the 36 towns, Sichuan is three towns and Yunnan is two towns, but in fact, by the Xinhai year, both of them were only temporarily organized into one town, but the worst was Guizhou, because Guizhou was only compiled into a standard (regiment)...) )

"Okay, we've been delaying a lot of time here, tell the brothers, we must take Dafang County before we fall."

"Yes!"

In Guiyang's Governor's Mansion, Gan Ruotong's body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the lobby, but Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng ignored the corpse lying there, and just asked the soldiers who went with Gan Ruotong. "That's what the general of the Sichuan Army really said?"

Although he was a little chilled by Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng's performance, the soldier still hurriedly replied. "I heard it clearly from the sidelines, the division commander of the Sichuan army did say that they were invited by Zhang Bailin to enter Guizhou..."

Sitting back in the governor's seat, Liu Xianshi waved his hand at the soldiers, and waited until the soldiers retreated before saying to Ren Kecheng. "Things are going in the worst direction, this group of Sichuan troops was indeed invited in by Zhang Bailin..."

Ren Kecheng nodded. "Right now, we can only watch Dai Jian and the Dian army."

"Dian Army..."Liu Xianshi smiled bitterly. Even if Dai Jian really succeeds, will the Dian army be able to rely on it? You must know that this time the Sichuan army came over with the strength of a town. ”

"Even if we can't rely on us, there is no other way, if the Sichuan Army was not invited in by Zhang Bailin, maybe we can still consider the matter of committing to it, but since they were invited in by Zhang Bailin, the relationship between us is already endless..."

Hearing Ren Kecheng say this, Liu Xianshi also nodded in agreement, but even so, it still buried a shadow in his heart.

Just when Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng were still worried about whether the Dian army was reliable, Dai Huan, who resigned to Cai Yi, had also caught up with Tang Jiyao.

I didn't know that in order to intervene in the Guizhou Rebellion this time, Yan Guang sent troops from an entire town, and after learning that Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng and other Guizhou gentry were willing to promote him as the governor of Guizhou, Tang Jiyao, who was already quite ambitious, quickly nodded and agreed.

At this time, Cai Ye had also learned the truth about the Guizhou incident from Zhong Changzuo's mouth, and kept calling Tang Jiyao to stop. It's just that Tang Jiyao, who has already received the promise of Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng, is willing to stop, so he just replied to Cai Yi, "Stepping into the Guizhou realm, you can't change your path." After that, Tang Jiyao led the Dian army to continue marching in the direction of Guiyang.

At this time, Yang Shan was also under the leadership of the magistrate of Dafang County, who surrendered in Kaesong, and led 10,000 Sichuan troops into Dafang County...
