Chapter 155: Reduced prestige

On the Sichuan-Yunnan border, the soldiers of the two armies were tense, and the atmosphere was even tense to the point that no one from a good family was willing to stay within a radius of 100 miles. Despite this, the two sides have been restrained so far, after all, neither Yan Guang nor Cai Ye has any plans to stage a full martial arts.

In a command post in the Dian army's position, Cai Ye was observing a patrol of Sichuan troops. "Sure enough, as Tang Jiyao said, the Sichuan army is indeed well-equipped..."

Just when Cai Ye was still there sighing about the equipment of the Sichuan army, Luo Peijin, the chief of staff on the side, said with a smile. "Governor, it's true that the Sichuan army is well-equipped, but didn't Tang Geng also say that the training of the Sichuan army is very poor, and it is not as good as our army in terms of individual combat effectiveness..."

Hearing Luo Peijin say this, Cai Ye first nodded, and then shook his head. "Soldiers can be trained, but equipment can't be conjured out of thin air, now there is a gap between the two armies of Sichuan and Yunnan, as long as the Yan light has a little hard work, it is not difficult for the Sichuan army to train a group of elites." As he spoke, Cai Ye raised the telescope again. "And didn't Tang Tang Jiyao say it? The Sichuan army has two weapons in their hands, one is a mortar and the other is a grenade. I can more or less guess what a grenade is, but a mortar..."No wonder Cai said that, after all, a grenade is not a very new weapon, but a mortar?

Luo Peijin also nodded and sighed. "Yes, Tang Beigeng's kid did find us an opponent for nothing."

In fact, before the Guizhou incident, the high-level of the Yunnan army, especially Cai Yi, still had a good impression of the Sichuan army, after all, Yan Guang was the first warlord to promulgate the exemption of land tax. This is also one of the reasons why when the Shu army asked for help, Cai Ye did not agree to intervene in the dispute in Sichuan.

It's just that later Tang Jiyao exchanged fire with Yangshan in Guiyang, and then the war of words between Sichuan and Yunnan some time ago, which made the Yunnan army's sense of the Sichuan army drop a lot, if you use the prestige system to convert, it has basically been reduced from a friendly level to a cold one, and there is a tendency to develop towards hostility...

Just when Luo Peijin sighed there, Cai Yi shook his head and said. "Since that Yan Guang took the initiative to meddle in the civil strife in Guizhou, he may not have ambitions for Yunnan, sooner or later, it's just that Tang Jiyaoran's matter was advanced..."

Luo Peijin nodded in agreement, and then looked in the direction of Guizhou. "I don't know what happened to Tang Beigeng, judging from the telegram I received some time ago, the situation there is not very good."

"It's hard to say, but for me, as long as I can bring back most of the officers and soldiers safely." Speaking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed on Cai Ye's face. "As for himself, he has his own military law!"

Looking at the look on Cai Yi's face, Luo Peijin could only let Tang Jiyao ask for more blessings in his heart. However, he didn't think that Tang Jiyao was innocent, after all, entering Guizhou in violation of orders and clashing with the Sichuan army without authorization were all conclusive evidence, and even if Tang Jiyao was shot to death, it was not serious.

However, just when Luo Peijin was mourning for Tang Jiyao in his heart, an officer suddenly walked over with an anxious look on the side.

"Governor!"

Looking at the look on the officer's face, a bad premonition rose in Cai Ye's heart. "What's the matter?"

Looking at Cai Yi's expression, the officer gritted his teeth. "The news just came that Guiyang was lost, our army was defeated and retreated, and Chief Tang ......... Suicide..."

"What!" Hearing the officer say this, Cai Ye suddenly felt dizzy, but at this time, the officer continued to mend the knife to Cai Ye's chest. "Chief of Staff Jiang Chao said on the telegram that our army now has only more than 2,000 people left, and it is currently converging with the remnants of the Guizhou army of Liu Xianshi and others and retreating in the direction of the Guizhou-Yunnan border..."

Hearing the officer mend the knife like this, not to mention Cai Yi, who was already in poor health, even Luo Peijin had a kind of ** who wanted to sit on the ground, but after barely supporting it, Luo Peijin still said to Cai Yi. "Governor, what should we do now..."

At this time, the surrounding officers of the Yunnan army were also in an uproar, some said that they would fight to the death with the Sichuan army on the opposite side, some said that they would think twice, and some wanted to see what else was on the telegram in the officer's hand.

Just when there was chaos in the headquarters of the Dian Army, Cai Ye stood up tremblingly with the support of the adjutant. "Send a report to Kunming, and let the remaining assistant go to pick up the remnants of the retreating army..."

"Yes!"

"Also, order the whole army to be on alert, and we must not let the Sichuan army on the opposite side take advantage of it..."

"Understood!"

It's just that just as the officers were about to go down to deliver the order, an officer suddenly ran over to the front line. "Governor, the Sichuan army in front seems to be starting to retreat."

Without waiting for Cai Ye to speak, Luo Peijin on the side had already said with a wry smile. "It seems that they have also received a telegram from Guiyang, and now that the goal has been achieved, they naturally have no reason to continue to confront us..."

Just like Luo Peijin said, after receiving the telegram from Yang Shan, Yan Guang ordered the 3rd Division to start retreating, while the 4th Division continued to stay here to take charge of the garrison. After all, now that Guiyang has been occupied, and the Dian army in Guizhou has begun to retreat, there is really no need for the Sichuan army to continue to confront the Dian army.

Of course, in addition to Guizhou, Yan Guang is not without other gains, such as the successful relationship with Cai Ye from cold to hostile or something...

"Pingqing, has Guizhou been occupied by that young man surnamed Yan?" In the garden, Yuan Shikai sat on a stone chair casually and said to Wang Shizhen.

Although Yuan Shikai called affectionately, Wang Shizhen didn't dare to sit beside him, so he just stood and replied. "Indeed, Tang Jiyao, who commanded the army, has committed suicide, and the Dian army has also been defeated and withdrawn from Guizhou."

"Really," Yuan Shikai nodded. The land of two provinces..."There is inevitably some envy between the words.

Looking at Yuan Shikai's appearance, Wang Shizhen said with a smile. "When Gong Bao becomes the president, all of China is Gong Bao, why should Gong Bao envy a hairy boy who is only in his 20s..."

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly. "How old is that hairy boy..."

"I don't know very much about this, but I look like I'm only 22 or 3 years old..."

"22, 3..."muttered, Yuan Shikai waved his hand. Let me be here for a while..."

After Wang Shizhen left, Yuan Shikai, who was over half a hundred years old, looked up at the sky. "Envy? Perhaps, but what I envy is his age..."

"I really want to be an emperor once..."Looking at the sun in the sky, Yuan Shikai's face seemed to be flushed with light...
