On the Sichuan-Yunnan border, everything is the same as last year, and the people on the entire border have almost been evacuated, leaving only the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army still facing each other on the border.

"Sure enough, as the Governor said, we have finally waited for our chance to take revenge." Cai Yi, who accompanied him to inspect the military situation, walked into a hidden command post, and Luo Peijin signaled the orderly to come over and serve tea and said with a smile. Since the Yunnan army suffered a big loss in Guiyang last year, Luo Peijin and other officers of the Yunnan army have always wanted to get back to the field, but it is a pity that Yan Guang's power has become more and more huge since then, and although the Yunnan army has also grown to a certain extent under the governance of Cai Yi, it is far from the National Socialist Party. Originally, almost all the officers of the Dian Army, including Luo Peijin, thought that there was no chance of revenge, but now...

"Although the strength of that Yan Guang is very strong, but compared with Yuan Gongbao, it is very different, and now even the Yuan army established by the alliance has been defeated, this surnamed Yan still dares to read power, I really don't know what he thinks." Saying that, Luo Peijin glanced at Cai Ye again. "But Dudu, I still don't understand, why didn't that Yan Guang stand up when Sun Yat-sen and the others showed their defeat, but waited until they were already defeated? Could it be that the surname Yan didn't react? ”

This can be said to be the strangest thing about Luo Peijin and others, after all, since the beginning of the Second Revolution, the Yuan army has been defeated all the way, in this case, Yan Guang should have stood up to help, but until the Yuan army failed, Yan Guang and his Kuomintang still sat firmly in Diaoyutai.

Originally, Luo Peijin and others thought that he was frightened by the military strength of the Beiyang Army and did not dare to stand up against Yuan Shikai, but after the defeat of the Yuan Army and Sun Yat-sen and others all went to Yueben by boat, this Yan Guang suddenly ran out to announce the reading power of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces? This really made Luo Peijin and them scratch their heads.

Sitting at the only table in the forward command post, waiting until the orderly brought the tea, Cai Ye gently tapped the table with his fingers twice before he slowly spoke. "I'm afraid it's not that this surnamed Yan didn't react, but I'm waiting..."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Sun Yat-sen and them to fail..."When he said this, Cai Yi's fingers tapped the table a little faster. This young man surnamed Yan, I'm afraid his ambition will exceed everyone's imagination..."

In fact, Cai Ye originally thought the same as Luo Peijin, thinking that since Yan Guang did not stand up during the Second Revolution, then when Yuan Jun was defeated and Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others fled to Yueben, Yan Guang would never stand up again, after all, Yuan Shikai had shown enough strength in the Second Revolution, and now only a few provinces have not fallen under Yuan Shikai's control...

However, just when Cai Yi thought that the wind was calm and he could bring back to Kunming a town army stationed on the Sichuan-Yunnan border, on the way to the Sichuan-Yunnan border, he suddenly learned the news of the announcement of reading power in Sichuan and Guizhou...

It was at that time that Cai Ye began to think about what Yan Guang was thinking in his heart...

And after thinking about it for several days, Cai Ye came up with an answer that even he himself was very surprised, that is, Yan Guang deliberately sat back and watched the defeat of Yuan Jun, the purpose was to force them out of China, and then defeat Yuan Shikai by himself...

After coming up with this answer, even Cai Ye himself felt that he had not rested for too long, and his brain was a little wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, Cai Ye felt that it was not impossible...

First of all, Yan Guang's Kuomintang has much strength that is not inferior to Beiyang, which is definitely better known to Cai Ye who is close to Sichuan than Sun Huang who was far away in Nanjing at that time, and Yuan Shikai and others in Yanjing, after all, it is definitely more convenient for Cai Ye in Yunnan to send a fine work to infiltrate Sichuan to search for useful information.

It is precisely because of this that Cai Ye has an intuitive understanding of the strength of the National Socialist Party.

The strength of ten infantry divisions, and the five infantry divisions that are being formed, and even the weapons and equipment they are equipped with, etc...

Although Beiyang has more than 200,000 troops, if you count Zhang Zuolin in the northeast and the old-style patrol battalion in Beiyang,

Today's Beiyang has more than 200,000 troops, if you count Zhang Zuolin in the northeast and the old-style patrol battalion in Beiyang, I am afraid that Yuan Shikai can use more than 300,000 troops (the latter two can be ignored), but if you count the advantages in equipment, I am afraid that Yan Guang's strength will definitely not be inferior to Yuan Shikai.

What's more, it is impossible for Yuan Shikai to transfer all his troops, after all, he still needs a certain amount of troops to sit in his hometown, otherwise he will not only have to worry about Zhang Zuolin behind him, but also about the banner forces in Yanjing City...

In this case, although Yan Guang only has ten infantry divisions, he will not be inferior to Yuan Shikai too much in terms of strength.

This will also make Yan Guang have the idea that Reading Power will defeat Yuan Shikai, and then gain the rights of the whole country, after all, Yuan Shikai can become the interim president today because his fists are hard enough...

As for why it was necessary to wait until the defeat of Yuan Jun and Sun Yat-sen and others fled to Yueben before they came forward? In fact, the reason is very simple, it is a matter of personal prestige.

Although Yan Guang has a small prestige in China and even the world because of his many achievements, he is too far behind Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen and others. So if Sun Yat-sen and others stand up before they are defeated, then after the victory, who should sit in the position of president of this country?

Yan Guang? That's right, if you talk about strength, Yan Guang's Kuomintang is indeed many times stronger than Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang, but in terms of prestige, Yan Guang is far inferior to Sun Yat-sen and others.

But what if the position of president is given to Sun Yat-sen? Not only is Yan Guang himself unwilling, but I am afraid that even the subordinates who follow him are unwilling, after all, Yan Guang's subordinates are willing to follow him, in addition to the desire to enrich the country and strengthen the people, personal future interests are also very important. If after the overthrow of Yuan Shikai, their positions were only raised a little, and all those important key positions were given to the Kuomintang that did not make much effort? So what did they follow Yan Guang for?

Therefore, the best thing for Yan Guang was to let Sun Yat-sen leave China, and preferably because of the defeat.

In this way, as long as Yan Guang can successfully destroy the forces in Beiyang, then even if Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others return to China, what qualifications do they have to compete with Yan Guang for the position of president? In the name of their revolutionary fathers? If this name is really useful, the position of the president will not fall on Yuan Shikai and his successors.

――――――――――

"That's it..."After listening to Cai Yi's explanation, Luo Peijin muttered a nod. I didn't expect this surnamed Yan to be so bold, he actually wanted to read Li alone against Yuan Gongbao..."

"yes, this guy is really bold..."

"So, Governor, what should we do now?"

"It's very simple, just complete Yuan Gongbao's order." Saying that, Cai Yi closed his eyes, not that he didn't want to take this opportunity to avenge Guizhou, but his Dian army now only has the strength of two towns, even if all the troops of the two towns are swarmed up, I am afraid that he can only repel the Sichuan army of this infantry division in front of him with heavy casualties.

An infantry division? You must know that today's National Socialist Party, in addition to the ten original infantry divisions, there are also five newly formed infantry divisions, even if they defeat an infantry division in front of them, they can't hurt people's bones, compared to only two town troops, they are more likely to be injured, in this case, it is the best choice to contain Yan Guang's troops and let Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army deal with him...

And after hearing Cai Yi's answer, although Luo Peijin was unwilling, he could only nod his head and acquiesce, after all, the Dian army only had the strength of two towns, even if one of them was injured, it was enough to make the vitality of the Dian army greatly damaged...

Looking at Luo Peijin's appearance, in fact, Cai Yi himself was also very unwilling, but as the leader of the Dian army, he had to think more about the Dian army, and he couldn't ignore the interests of the Dian army because of a momentary anger.

Just when Luo Peijin and Cai Yi were unwillingly drinking tea in the command post, suddenly there was a burst of artillery on the opposite side...

"Fuck, could it be that kid surnamed Yan who did it first?"

After hearing the sound of the cannon, Cai Ye and Luo Peijin both got up from their seats, and then looked in the direction where the cannonade came from.

It's just that just when they thought that the Sichuan army was rushing to attack, they found that not a single shell fell on the position of the Yunnan army, because the dust pillars raised by the shells were almost all in Sichuan.

"Bastard, what the hell are these guys up to?"

Listening to the bursts of cannons, Luo Peijin cursed with some annoyance.

At this time, Cai Yi's face changed after looking at the dust pillar in the distance through the telescope.

"Is this..."

"Governor, what is it?"

Seeing Cai Yi's face change, Luo Peijin, who was still cursing, asked a little strangely.

However, Cai Yi shook his head, because he was not sure if what he had just seen was true, after all, as far as he knew, the Sichuan army did not have the ability to manufacture 150 and 210 caliber heavy artillery.

"But with such a large pillar of dust and such a heavy cannon sound, there shouldn't be any other artillery except for the 150 caliber and 210 caliber guns..."

"Dudu, General Luo, the Sichuan army on the opposite side has just received news, saying that they are going to test the newly installed 150 and 210 caliber guns, I hope we don't get nervous!" When he said this, the officer of the Dian army smiled bitterly, obviously he also understood what these two calibers of heavy artillery represented.

At this time, after hearing the officer's words, Cai Ye and Luo Peijin's faces also changed.
