Chapter 143: Robbery while the fire is on

"You just said that the Sichuan army from at least one town is coming to Guizhou, and it has already arrived in Xuyong County?" Sitting in a position that only Yang Xincheng could sit, Liu Xianshi looked at the officers below and frowned.

Tearing open the collar, the officer who was full of habits hugged his fist. "Lord Hui, this news was sent back by the magistrate of Dafang County just now."

Sichuan and Guizhou are mountainous, and there are not many roads between the two provinces, and there are even fewer that can make more than 10,000 troops march, plus Yang Shan never thought of hiding his whereabouts (and can't hide them), so when he arrived in Xuyong County with more than 10,000 people from the 2nd Division, the merchants of Guizhou who traveled between the two provinces had already transmitted the news back to Dafang County.

Although the civil strife in Guiyang cannot be said to be well known, at least in Guizhou, no one knows about it, so the county magistrate of Dafang County quickly judged that this group of Sichuan troops came to take advantage. Although the magistrate of Dafang did not belong to either side of the civil strife, out of a sense of responsibility for his homeland (Guizhou), the county magistrate still sent a few people to ride fast horses to inform Liu Xianshi of the news. As for himself? At present, preparations have been made for the surrender of Kaesong in the county office.

"In this way...", motioning for the officer to retreat, Liu Xianshi turned his head to Ren Kecheng on the side. Zhiqing, what do you think is the purpose of this group of Sichuan people? Do you take advantage of the fire? ”

Ren Kecheng smiled bitterly. "If their purpose is just to take advantage of the fire, I am relieved..."

Liu Xianshi is a smart person, so after listening to Ren Kecheng's words, he quickly understood what he meant.

If the purpose of this group of Sichuan troops is only to take advantage of the fire to loot and plunder several prefectures and counties on the border of Guizhou, although the losses will not be small, at least it will not pose much threat to the status of Liu Xianshi and others. But if they came to Guizhou, or just like they asked the Yunnan army to "replace the Guizhou chaos", this group of Sichuan troops was also invited by Zhang Bailin to "represent the Guizhou chaos?" "What?

"Could it be that this Yan Guang still dares to risk the world's condemnation!" Liu Xianshi said with an ugly face.

However, Ren Kecheng just glanced at Liu Xianshi with a wry smile. "Ru Zhou, we don't say secret words, if it were you, what would you do?!"

Is it yourself? Of course, he took advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly include Guizhou in his sphere of influence. But it was this kind of thought that made Liu Xianshi's face even more ugly.

Looking at Liu Xianshi's ugly face, Ren Kecheng shook his head. "Now I'm not worried about the first point, but the second one. If this Yan Guang's purpose is only to occupy Guizhou, then even if he succeeds, he needs our people to help him gain a firm foothold, so that although the position of governor is hopeless, at least our power can be guaranteed. But if this Yan Guang is Zhang Bailin, please come back..."

and Liu Xianshi glanced at each other deeply, and everything was self-evident...

"Damn, do these Sichuan people think that we are soft persimmons?" Liu Xianshi picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.

"Even if we are not soft persimmons, do you still have a way to stop this group of Sichuan troops..."Seeing Liu Xianshi panting there, Ren Kecheng said with a wry smile on the side.

If they have a way to stop the Sichuan army, then Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng don't need to invite the Yunnan army to enter Guizhou to support them, you must know that the strength of the Guizhou army brought out by Yang Xincheng is not very good.

"And what do you do now?" After standing stiff for a moment, Liu Xianshi said gloomily.

"What's the solution? I can only send someone to the Sichuan army to ask them about their intentions, and by the way, check the strength of the Sichuan army. Send someone to Dai Huan again, and ask him to urge the Dian army that is already on the way, as long as the Dian army can reach Guiyang before the Sichuan army, we still have a little hope..."Speaking of this, Ren Kecheng glanced at Liu Xianshi deeply. "Ruzhou, sometimes I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf..."

"Don't worry, I never hesitated when it was time to give up..." It's nothing more than the position of the governor.

Although he is very reluctant in his heart, he can drive Zhang Bailin, the actual number one person, out of Guizhou, Liu Xianshi can at least be called a character if he is not a hero, and he can naturally distinguish which is more important.

"Why did the Sichuan army get involved?" Listening to the news from Guiyang Kuaima just now, Dai Huan, who was about to leave Kunming, was stunned.

The officer in charge of delivering the message shook his head. "This humble position is not very clear, but Lord Liu means that he hopes that Lord Dai can speed up the speed of the Dian army, and it is best to let the Dian army enter Guiyang before the arrival of the Sichuan army..."

Shaking his head, Dai Jian walked back and forth in the hall. "It's okay to say if there is no Sichuan army, but now that the Sichuan army has intervened, then things are a little difficult to do." Dai Jian thought very clearly, Cai Ye was originally a little hesitant about the "Dai Ping Qian Chaos", but now that the Sichuan army has intervened, considering the relationship between the two provinces, Cai Ye may not continue to support him...

Seeing Dai Huan's embarrassed look, the officer hurriedly posted it. "Lord Liu said, let Lord Dai try it first, if it really doesn't work, even if it is impossible to give up the position of the governor..."

Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng thought very clearly, if the Sichuan army just wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot or take Guizhou into their hands, it would be okay to say. But if the Sichuan army was invited in by Zhang Bailin, then I'm afraid Liu Xianshi and they wouldn't even be able to save their lives. When you can't save your life, what's the use of holding the governor's position?

"The position of the governor can also be relinquished?" Hearing what the officer said, Dai Jian was also taken aback, and then thought about it carefully. "If that's the case, maybe, no, it's unlikely, Cai Ye is not the kind of person who is greedy for power..."Although he said, Dai Jian remembered the young officer who was leading the Dian army to Guizhou.

"That young officer, he looks very ambitious, maybe you can start from him..."Thinking so, Dai Huan turned his head to the few people around him. The matter in which the Sichuan army also intervened must not let Cai Dudu know, understand? ”

The entourage and staff around him also understood the importance of the matter, so they nodded one after another. "Understood."

"Okay, I'll resign to Cai Dudu..."

Just as Dai Huan rushed to the Yunnan Governor's Mansion to bid farewell to Cai Yi, Yang Shan, who had already stepped into Guizhou, laughed at the officials who came to question him. "Lao Tzu was ordered by the strict governor to "level the chaos", if you know each other, hurry up and flash me aside, otherwise Lao Tzu will even be flat with you! ”
