In addition to the issue of military pay and equipment, there is also the question of where exactly it should be deployed to fight against Yan Guang's troops.

At the meeting, both the people of the Alliance and the Elders' Association felt that they should shrink all their forces back to Yucheng, after all, the soldiers of the Shu army were far inferior to Yan Guang's troops in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.

It's like a fast gun, which is already a commonly equipped gun in the patrol battalion, but on the side of the Shu army, guns like Lin Dengming and Martini can only be used by officers, and the rest are either earthen muskets or broadsword spears, no wonder Yan Guang dares to boast that the two newly built divisions equipped with Lin Dengming and Martini, after several months of training, can pick out any one of them to fight 20,000 or 30,000 people in the Baolu Army.

And if it is just to capture Yucheng, I am afraid that only the second division and the twelfth brigade need to be used.

However, just when Zhang Peijue was about to agree to deploy defenses in Yucheng and fight Yan Guang to the death, Zhu Zhihong's words changed his mind.

"Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan, and the Sichuan military and political axe is also the first military and political axe in Sichuan, and the surname Yan has promulgated a tax exemption policy to win people's hearts, so it can be said that at least in terms of influence, the Sichuan military and political axe is definitely higher than the Shu military and political axe. In this case, if we are abandoning the peripheral states and counties and retreating all our troops to Yucheng..."Looking at Zhang Peijue, Zhu Zhihong smiled bitterly. "When that Yan Guang's troops come to the city, they only need to throw some letters of persuasion into the city, I'm afraid our subordinates will tie us up..."

It is true that if you just lose in the periphery, then you can go back little by little, but if you give up the peripheral states and counties in the beginning...

You must know that this is not a game, and the people and the soldiers of the Shu army are not NPCs, if you do this from the beginning, it is easy to have a kind of "Shu military political axe is finished" mood for the people and the soldiers of the Shu army, coupled with the orthodox status of the Sichuan military and political axe itself, and the influence is much higher than that of the Shu military political axe.

When Yan Guang's troops come to the city of Chongqing, it is likely that they only need some letters of persuasion and some generous conditions that the soldiers of the Shu army in the city dare not imagine, and those soldiers will tie up Zhang Peijue and go out...

"However, it is still necessary to give up appropriately, such as Dazu County and Rongchang County, we only need to arrange a small number of troops, and the main force should still concentrate on Xinsheng Town, Tangba Town and Tai'an Town in Tongnan County, of which Tangba Town is the mainstay!" The fastest route from Chengdu to Yucheng is Tongnan, otherwise you can only go to the capital, so Zhu Zhihong wants to come to Tongnan generation is the real main battlefield.

Zhang Peijue listened to Zhu Zhihong's words, and nodded after looking at the map. "That's right, if Yan Guang's army wants to capture Yucheng, taking Tongnan is indeed the fastest route..."

Zhang Peijue's decision soon spread from the governor's mansion, first of all, the Shu army of nearly 70,000 troops, of which more than 10,000 were old and weak, and 3,000 were each arranged in Dazu County and Rongchang County, and the remaining 7,000 people were all arranged in Tongliang County except for 3,000 people who stayed in Yucheng.

The 6,000 men in Dazu and Rongchang counties were used to maintain the existence of symbolic surnames and a certain degree of vigilance, while the troops of Tongliang and Yucheng were purely used as sappers to arrange the defensive line needed after the defeat of the front.

After considering the strength between the Sichuan military and the Shu military axes, even the most optimistic people felt that it was unlikely that they would repel the enemy army in Tongnan County, so Tongliang and Yucheng were the second and last fortresses...

While Zhang Peijue was busy preparing for war, Yan Guang was not idle.

Although Pu Dianjun and other constitutionalists were still negotiating in Yucheng at this time, and there was no bad news at present, Yan Guang did not think that Zhang Peijue would agree to his terms, so it was very important to make full preparations before the war.

Of course, Zhang Peijue and they may have unexpectedly agreed to the conditions, but they are not afraid of tossing when they have a lot of money, but time is something that money can't buy, so even if they really miscalculate in the end, it's nothing.

Under such circumstances, Yan Guang would often take time to go to the Second Division and the 12th Brigade to inspect the reorganization of the troops.

At the same time, he also mobilized the doctors in several western hospitals he had built and organized them into a medical battalion, which could form a field hospital in the rear to treat wounded soldiers when fighting broke out.

Of course, Pu Dianjun, who was far away in Yucheng, was not a fool, and by the third day of the negotiation, he had already noticed that Zhang Peijue and the others did not have the sincerity to negotiate, and it could even be said that they were just trying to buy time for war preparations.

After letting his entourage go to the city to listen to the news, he got that a group of Shu troops were pulling out in the direction of Tongnan, and even many troops were simply building fortifications on the spot, Pu Dianjun let several of his entourage ride fast horses and rush back to Chengdu in batches.

Two days later, the entourage sent back by Pu Dianjun finally rushed back to Chengdu one by one.

Along the way, in order to prevent being stopped by Zhang Peijue's people, they all walked from a remote path, but neither they nor Pu Dianjun expected that Zhang Peijue never thought of stopping them at all.

Although he and the others had no intention of negotiating at all, at least until the end of the negotiations, both the Shu military and Sichuan military axes were still members of the revolutionary army. And in this case, even if Yan Guangming knew this, he would definitely not take the initiative.

As for a week later?

You will still know what you need to know, and the difference is just sooner or later.

The most important thing is that Pu Dianjun will send people back every day to report on the negotiations, and they have no reason to stop it, and once they block it, I am afraid it will have a bad effect.

"Really? And so it was! "Holding the letter sent back by Pu Dianjun, Yan Guang casually threw it aside after reading it." You see I'm right, that guy Zhang Peijue really didn't think about talking to me! ”

"It's really unexpected..."Song Dinghan smiled slightly, at this time, Song Dinghan was also wearing a pure black uniform, but there were some differences in the epaulettes.

In the past two days, after seeing the M32 uniform worn by Yan Guang, many generals, including Wang Er and Zhu Qinglan, have said that they will also wear such military uniforms.

After seeing his colleagues, even his cousin Wen Jing defect and surrender, Song Dinghan, who was still a little unable to open his mouth, had no choice but to bow his head and surrender.

Therefore, when Pu Dianjun's entourage sent the letter back, at least among the upper echelons of the Sichuan military and political axes, except for some old-fashioned people, the pure black uniform of M32 had been completely popularized.

Of course, there are still some differences between the uniforms worn by clerical workers like Song Dinghan and Wen Jing and those worn by Wang Er and Zhu Qinglan, and the difference lies in the collar badge!
