Chapter 157: Competition

In the Governor's Mansion, Yang Shan was lying on a rocking chair in the garden enjoying a rare leisure time.

"I haven't closed my eyes for so many days, so I really need to take a good rest." After smelling the fragrance of flowers in the garden and pouring himself a cup of tea, Yang Shan thought a little freehand.

Now two days have passed since the end of the war, although there are still some remnants of the Dian army in the city, but when most of them have begun to retreat towards Yunnan, these remnants are just dying and struggling, and many even simply come out with guns and surrender.

"I don't know what the governor will reward me with if I take Guizhou." Although Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng ran away, Tang Jiyao's corpse did not tarnish this achievement much. Thinking of Yan Guang's always big hand, although Yang Shan's cup was filled with tea, he still felt a faint drunkenness surging up his head.

However, just when Yang Shan was still intoxicated, Chief of Staff Gu Runde and several officers of the Sichuan Army walked in.

"Division commander, a telegram just sent from Chengdu."

"Oh?" Yang Shan, who was still intoxicated, was stunned at first, and then happy. "Could it be that the Governor's reward has already come down?" It's no wonder that Yang Shan thinks so, after all, he just won a province, and rewards or something are obviously essential.

"What does the telegram say?"

However, looking at the joy on Yang Shan's face, Gu Runde smiled bitterly. "The telegram said, let's prepare first, and when Division Commander Peng and the 4th Division arrive, let's leave for Sichuan to rest and replenish the troops..."

"What else?" Yang Shan didn't think it was strange that the 2nd Division was transferred back to Sichuan to recuperate, after all, the capture of Guiyang also caused the 2nd Division to suffer heavy losses, and the fierce fighting for 5 consecutive days at least reduced the 2nd Division's permanent surname by more than 2,000 people, not to mention those who were wounded, and it was a strange thing not to replenish the 2nd Division in this case. After all, if the 2nd Division is attribution, he, the division commander, can only be the brigade commander, but at the moment, Yang Shan is most concerned about the rewards of Chengdu.

Looking at the anticipation on Yang Shan's face, Gu Runde could only continue to smile bitterly. "The telegram also said that the governor of Guizhou will be Zhang Bailin, and the deputy governor will be Vice Minister Luo Lunluo, and..." Guizhou's Minister of Military Affairs is Peng Xiupeng..."

"What?" Hearing that Guizhou's Minister of Military Affairs was Peng Xiu, Yang Shan's face became ugly. "How could he be the Minister of Military Affairs?!" Yang Shan did not think about the position of Guizhou Governor, nor did Yang Shan think about the position of Deputy Governor, because Yan Guang once said that the military would never be allowed to meddle in politics.

As for the position of Minister of Military Affairs? To be honest, Yang Shan didn't think much about it, because he had always been aiming at positions like army commanders or even group army commanders. But despite thinking so, Yang Shan never wanted Peng Xiu to be the Minister of Military Affairs. Because although he and Peng Xiu are both Yan Guang's descendants, they have always been in competition with each other, and now Peng Xiu is in the position of Minister of Military Affairs in Guizhou, doesn't he just overtake Yang Shan.

And Guizhou was brought down by Yang Shan himself, but now he wants Peng Xiu to be the Minister of Military Affairs?

Looking at Yang Shan, who had an ugly face, several people on the side didn't know how to dissuade him, and finally Gu Runde stood up and persuaded him. "The division commander doesn't have to be upset, although Division Commander Peng became the Minister of Military Affairs in Guizhou, but Guizhou was defeated by the division commander, and the governor will not treat the division commander badly." Saying that, Gu Runde touched his chin and said with a smile. "Now our Sichuan army still lacks a commander, and with the merits of the division commander, the position of the army commander will definitely not be able to escape."

Hearing Gu Runde say this, Yang Shan's irritability in his heart was eliminated a lot, after all, in this era of attaching importance to the barrel of a gun, the division commander who commanded the three divisions was obviously much stronger than a nominal minister of military affairs, although this minister of military affairs also served part-time as a division commander.

As for the competitors? Although Zhu Qinglan is the deputy governor, Yang Shan does not believe that Yan Guang will let him sit in the position of army commander, although Feng Nan is also Yan Guang's cronies, he is not as good as Yang Shan's old qualifications...

"Is it a military commander..."Yang Shan nodded, if it was a military commander, he could just overpower Peng Xiu again.

Yang Shan is the most likely person to become a military commander, this idea is not only shared by Yang Shan, but also by Gu Runde, and even by Peng Xiu, who arrived in Guiyang with Zhang Bailin and Luo Lun. It is precisely because of this that Peng Xiu did not show off his identity as the Minister of Military Affairs to Yang Shan at the banquet. After all, compared to the military commander, a nominal military minister obviously has nothing to show off.

It's just that what Yang Shan, Peng Xiu, Gu Runde and others didn't expect was that Yang Shan would certainly become a military commander, but Peng Xiu was the same, or even Feng Nan was like this. Because Yan Guang is planning a 10th division plan in his heart, in this plan, there will be two armies in Sichuan and one army in Guizhou.

Among them, the commander of the first army will be Feng Nan, the commander of the second army will be Yang Shan, and as for the third army, of course, it is Peng Xiu, who has just arrived in Guizhou, as for the remaining division? will become a guard division directly under Yan Guang, specializing in Yan Guang's security.

In the case of being the same army commander, Peng Xiu, who is also the minister of military affairs, will obviously overpower Yang Shan. And if he knew this, I am afraid that Peng Xiu at this moment would have already shown off to Yang Shan at the banquet, but fortunately he did not show off, otherwise Yang Shan, who was still a little unhappy and jealous in his heart, would probably have to stage an all-martial arts with him.

After all, no matter what, Peng Xiu is still a step above Yang Shan's official position...

"Everyone is not drunk and has no home!!" Holding a wine glass, Yang Shan said loudly to everyone present, and after speaking, Yang Shan said to Peng Xiu on the side. "Come on, let me see if your kid has been drinking lately."

"You're afraid you won't make it!" Unscrewed the lid of the wine, and after pouring the cup in front of him, Peng Xiu raised his glass to Yang Shandao. "!"

"!"

As soon as they raised their heads, the two of them swallowed all the liquor with at least 50 degrees in one gulp.

Looking at the two people who were fighting over there, Gu Runde pursed his lips and hugged his shoulders affectionately with the chief of staff of the 4th Division. If almost all of the 2nd Division was adapted from the original patrol battalion, then at least half of the 4th Division was made up of patrol battalion personnel. Therefore, although the division commanders of the two sides are a bit of a rival, they can't change the friendship between the people below.

"Dry !!"

"No !! if you don't get drunk"

"Drink, drink, drink!!"

In Guiyang City, which is almost in ruins, the direction of the Governor's Mansion is still brightly lit, singing and dancing...
