Qiao Yu also received Deng Xihou's report in the rear, his face was very grim, Cai Ye really had two hits, he wanted to drag himself to death, Qiao Yu knew very well that his main task now was to use the God-given opportunity of World War I to initially improve the industrial system, this is a goal that can never be changed, and even this goal is more important than expanding the territory, and his unification of the southwest is to better carry out the industrial layout, if the attack on Yunnan affects the overall situation of industrial development, no matter how unwilling Qiao Yu is, he must also abandon Yunnan at that time.

Cai Yi was waiting for this time, although he couldn't win the Sichuan army, but he could drag the Sichuan army to death, just when Qiao Yu was anxious, Wang Tianhe suddenly brought a person to meet Qiao Yu, although Wang Tianhe is now in charge of the military police force, but his reputation is not good, compared to the investigation director Wang Lingji is too much, but Qiao Yu has definitely put more effort into the military police force than the investigation bureau, it can be said that the investigation bureau is a target that Qiao Yu has made to attract firepower, and Qiao Yu has handed over all the hidden and important things to the gendarmerie department.

Wang Tianhe's ability has also improved rapidly in this kind of exercise, and he has become more and more sophisticated and ruthless.

"Young master, Zhaotong's Haoqiang Longbai wants to meet you, is Junzuo going to see you!"

Qiao Yu knows very well that it is definitely a good thing to have Haoqiang come to take refuge at this time, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, and now that he has just entered Yunnan, it is best to reach a compromise with these forces, "Bring him in!" ”

Not long after, a little old man in his fifties came to Qiao Yu, this little old man was just in his early fifties, but his face was full of red light, and the clothes on his body were also gorgeous, at first glance, it was a rich family, and after seeing Qiao Yu, the little old man immediately knelt down.

"Little old man Longbai visits the patrol envoy, the adult is auspicious!"

Qiao Yu was also amused when he saw this old man acting like this, "Tianhe, quickly help the old man up, it has long been the Republic of China, how can he still kneel and worship?" ”

"My lord, the little old man is clear, but I still feel that kowtowing is enjoyable, seeing that the adult is as powerful as the sky, I am impressed in my heart, and not bowing down is not enough to express respect!"

"Hehe, old man, if there is anything, you should say it directly, as long as it is reasonable, I will definitely agree!"

"Thank you, Dashuai!" The little old man made a gesture again and again, "Dashuai, although the little old man is from Yunnan, but my nephew Long Yun is still an officer in your army, and I often go to Syria to do business, to be honest, the little old man has long been looking forward to the Sichuan army to come in, and now Yunnan has a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, we businessmen have worked hard, and the big head has been handed over to the official master, how can there be a comfort in doing business in Sichuan!" ”

As soon as Qiao Yu heard that this Long Bai and Long Yun were still related, he was immediately interested, this little old man must be from the Yi nationality, and he can mix to this extent, I am afraid that this is also a descendant of Tusi, and he belongs to the elite, although the Ming and Qing dynasties have a policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, but these Tusi still retain considerable power, the family is rich, and there are even private armies and slaves, which are more powerful than the Han landlords.

"So the old gentleman is of the Yi nationality? I remember that the aristocracy did not advocate business, why did the old gentleman engage in business? ”

"Dashuai, the rules are dead, but this money is alive or not, who can give up this glory and wealth for some dead things, I won't tell you, Xiao Lao'er has tripled his trade with Sichuan in recent years, and now who dares to disrespect Xiao Lao'er!"

Qiao Yu said with a smile: "Old gentleman, he is a sincere person, I can tell you that after the elimination of the Cai Yi Group, Yunnan will fully implement the new policy, reduce harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and vigorously support industry and commerce. ”

Long Bai hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Xiao Lao'er still has a problem, that is, Xiao Lao'er is a Yi ethnic group, I don't know if he can enter the parliament and become a member of the parliament in the future!" ”

After Long Bai said this, Qiao Yu knew that this little old man was not only greedy for money, but also liked power, but these were not problems, "Old man, as long as you are concerned about the political axe and can take the initiative to make meritorious contributions, the future is definitely not a problem!" ”

After Long Bai got the guarantee, he immediately raised his eyebrows and danced with his hands: "Dashuai, Xiao Lao'er is more familiar with the place, the Dian army sent a lot of small detachments to ambush everywhere a few days ago, looking for opportunities to sneak attack Wang Shi, I know where they are going, I can now guide Wang Shi to wipe out all these Dian troops!" ”

Long Bai also took out the bargaining chips exchanged at this time, now the Sichuan army is having a headache, this old guy can help the Sichuan army solve the attack of these small groups of Yunnan army, it is really a good thing, Qiao Yu hurriedly arched his hand at the little old man.

"The old gentleman can do this, it is really a great merit, and there will be the name of the old gentleman in the Yunnan Provincial Council in the future!"

Qiao Yu promised a councilor, Long Bai was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to help the Sichuan army guide the way, Qiao Yu also ordered to send elite scouts to attack the Dian army, and after sending Long Bai away, the joy on Qiao Yu's face suddenly disappeared.

"Tianhe, there are definitely not a few people like Long Bai in Yunnan, they love power and are greedy for money, but this is their original surname, which is understandable, but the worst thing is that they still have their own armed forces in their hands, with this kind of person controlling the place, the power of the political axe will never be able to control the place, and they can betray Cai Ye today, and they will be able to betray me tomorrow, once the situation in Yunnan is controlled, this kind of character must be cleared up as soon as possible, you will work it now!"

Wang Tianhe hurriedly nodded yes, he also hated this kind of person, but he had to use it, and indeed with Long Bai's cooperation, the Sichuan army, who was originally black-eyed, suddenly became deaf and clear-sighted.

Liu Qingfu, the captain of the special combat team, led a group of elite soldiers to Gaoqiao Township under the guidance of a guide, and Liu Qingfu and others crossed two mountain beams in a row, and a river more than three zhang wide and unflowing appeared in front of them.

"Sir, cross this river, there is a valley opposite, the mouth of the valley is very narrow, but the inside is very spacious, it is the place where the Dian army is hiding!"

Liu Qingfu nodded, and looked at the surrounding terrain, of course, it is dangerous, the mountains are continuous, the Dian army is hidden in the valley, all around are towering ancient trees, without the guidance of the locals, I am afraid that I will not be able to find here, the Sichuan army team followed Liu Qingfu across the river, just landed on the riverbank, two figures appeared not far away, and when they saw someone on this side, they hurriedly ran over.

"What people!"

As soon as Liu Qingfu saw that his people were discovered, he was not polite, and killed the two sentries of the Yunnan army with two points of fire as soon as he raised his hand, and then hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to act quickly and block the valley mouth.

This valley mouth is more than 20 meters wide, but there are hundreds of meters wide inside, thousands of meters long, typical gourd mouth, the Dian army hidden in the valley heard the gunshots outside and hurriedly rushed out, just arrived at the valley mouth, the two people who rushed to the front were hit by oncoming bullets, a person's skull was knocked away, and a person drilled a big hole in his chest.

The company commander of the Dian army was very aware of his situation at this time, although this valley was very hidden, but after being discovered, it became a dead place, and he had to rush out, otherwise he could only be trapped inside.

"Brothers, we've been plotted, get out!"

The soldiers of the Yunnan army were not willing to be trapped in the place of death, so they could only rush outward, but half of the soldiers brought by Liu Qingfu were special combat teams, and the rest were scouts, all of them were the most elite soldiers, they did not panic at all against the enemy, and their shooting was extremely accurate, and soon more than a dozen Yunnan soldiers were killed.

The company commander of the Dian army knew that he had kicked the iron plate, so he could only beckon his men to retreat into the valley and seal the valley mouth.

Liu Qingfu and others had already prepared, the guide had already introduced the terrain to them, and they also formulated several sets of plans to deal with it, as soon as they saw that the Dian army retreated into the valley, they did not rush to seal the valley with six light machine guns to suppress the fire of the Dian army, and then sent a team of soldiers to keep approaching the valley, and they also brought two grenadiers.

This kind of grenadier is the idea provided by Qiao Yu, mainly to imitate the ** type grenadier of the later generations, the caliber is fifty millimeters, but due to the current metallurgical level restrictions in Sichuan, the entire grenadier is a little heavier than the original version of the book, reaching three kilograms, and the maximum range is only five hundred meters, but this is enough, the grenadier team quickly approached Taniguchi, and the one-kilogram warhead drew a beautiful arc and smashed into Taniguchi, and in less than a minute, each grenadier shot at least twenty warheads.

The whole valley mouth was shrouded in violent explosions, the sky was full of gunsmoke, and many stumps and broken legs flew into the air, the cheap weapon of the grenadier showed a murderous side, the Yunnan army defending in the valley mouth was killed by more than 20 people, plus the soldiers of the Yunnan army who died at the beginning, it can be said that half of the soldiers of this squad have been wiped out.

Although the Yunnan army is known as the elite, but it can't bear such a big loss, suddenly has no fighting spirit, scattered everywhere, Liu Qingfu commanded the troops to easily capture the valley, most of the remaining Yunnan army killed, the rest of all prisoners.

This kind of scene is also played out in other places, the small squad soldiers of the Yunnan army are constantly annihilated, and can no longer threaten the engineering troops of the Sichuan army, Deng Xihou commanded the engineering troops to quickly repair the road of nearly sixty miles, and the Sichuan army brigade is approaching the pass.

Responsible for guarding the gate of Daguan is Cai Yi's favorite general Zhao Youxin, of course he knows the important surname of Daguan, only by holding Daguan can he hold Zhaotong, only by holding Zhaotong can he hold Kunming, originally thought that the Sichuan army was not familiar with the place, and would definitely be harassed by the Yunnan army, as long as it drags on, the equipment advantage of the Sichuan army will become their logistical pressure, and eventually drag down the Sichuan army, the abacus is very loud, but it is a pity that the local Haoqiang like Longbai has fallen to Qiao Yu, and the geographical advantage of the Yunnan army has begun to reverse.

Looking at the freshly released report, Zhao Youxin's face was distorted, more than 300 elite soldiers were wiped out by the Sichuan army in this way, not only did he not achieve the purpose of attacking the Sichuan army, but also lost these elites, how can he hold the pass next!
