After Cai Ye saw Qiao Yu's power, he suddenly hesitated, his opponent was really difficult to deal with, and he buckled a big hat for himself as soon as he came up, Yunnan borders Myanmar and Indochina, these two are British and French colonies, and now the Xinhai Revolution broke out in China, Britain and France are also ready to move, and want to take the opportunity to encroach on the border, Cai Ye is not unaware, but he is afraid of British and French forces, and he doesn't take that disputed territory seriously, but now Qiao Yu openly uses the big hat of a national sinner to buckle it down, It is still very powerful to occupy a moral advantage all of a sudden.

You Cai Ye use the slogan of aiding Hubei and opposing the Qing Dynasty, I will use a hat bigger than this to press you back, Qiao Yu is not at all at a loss, Cai Ye began to face up to this opponent who is much younger than himself, but Cai Ye is still very confident, the Dian army is the elite of a hundred battles, much stronger than the temporary Sichuan army, and it is useless to say anything else at a critical time.

The Yunnan army approached southern Sichuan, Qiao Yu also stepped up preparations for war, after controlling Syria, there were also many local militias in Syria, and Yang Shukan's army was also scattered most of them, all of them broke into the countryside, these routs have no discipline at all, they are completely a gang of bandits, Qiao Yu while collecting these routs, while pacifying the place, but also to guard against the attack of the Dian army, very busy.

"Governor, the Dian army is only three days away from Syria, you see if we are deploying defenses along the river to keep the Dian army out of Syria!" Wu Tong and Qiao Yu were discussing military affairs on the map.

"Chief of Staff, do you think if we deploy defenses along the Yangtze River, can we stop the Dian army?"

"Governor, I think it's perfectly possible, we have enough machine guns and artillery, and as long as the ships along the river are collected, it will be difficult for the Dian army to cross the river at all! And their first echelon is only the size of a brigade and does not have an advantage in troops! ”

"Then if the Yunnan army increases its strength, you must know that the Yunnan army has more than 30,000 people, and they can completely invest more than 20,000 in the direction of Sichuan, and then we will have no advantage in troops."

Wu Tong's brows were also twisted into a pimple, "Governor, should we also transfer the second division, I think the size of the two divisions is enough to guard the Yangtze River, as long as there is a stalemate, the supplies of the Dian army are not as sufficient as ours, we can completely drag them down!" ”

"So what about here?" As soon as Qiao Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chengdu in Xichuan, Qiao Yu transferred all his troops, although he could stop the Dian army, but once the opportunity to attack Chengdu was delayed, it would be worth the loss! This is also the biggest difficulty that the Sichuan army is facing now.

"Does the governor mean to try to annihilate this Dian army?" Wu Tong's mind is also very clear, looking at Qiao Yu's appearance, he guessed that he was planning to fight quickly, from the bottom of his heart, Wu Tong also agreed to this battle plan, first beat the Dian army to the pain and cripple, completely cut off the possibility of the Dian army entering Sichuan again, and then he was able to calm down to deal with the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"That's right, we simply do a little defense in the Yangtze River, the Dian army will retreat when it comes, and then the defense line will be arranged under the city of Xufu, and strive to destroy the Dian army here, as long as the so-called first echelon is defeated, Cai Ye will not dare to attack Sichuan easily."

"I agree with the governor's approach, but there is still a trouble, that is, there are still many civilian armies around Syria, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one among these people will collude with the Dian army, once the Dian army has an internal response, it will be difficult to deal with!"

What Wu Tong said is very reasonable, Sichuan is too chaotic now, all kinds of forces are entangled together, and those who are inclined to the Yunnan army are not necessarily in the minority, and at this moment Wang Tianhe walked in.

"Young master, Yang Shukan sent a telegram, he said that the conflict in Syria was a complete misunderstanding, he is willing to admit the mistakes of the people's army, and he is also willing to support you as the governor of Sichuan, and all the people's army is willing to join the new political axe and make some contributions to overthrow the Manchu Qing! Now the civilian army can accept its integration. ”

Qiao Yu received such a telegram at this time, and he was also very surprised, after Yang Shukan was defeated by Qiao Yu in Syria, the people's army basically collapsed, and the views of the heroes and powers in various places on the people's army also changed sharply, you must know that everyone has a lot of business dealings with the Qianzhuang ticket number, if they all go out of business, it will also be a disaster for these people, so they began to abandon the people's party, and the constitutionalists in various places also began to take the initiative to accept Qiao Yu's new policy, and the local Lijin began to be abolished on a large scale, and many peasants in the people's army also went home.

At this time, Yang Shukan retreated to the vicinity of Leshan, with more than 2,000 troops, and most of them had no weapons, lacking everything, it can be said that it had reached the point of life and death

"Cangbai, just a month ago, we still had tens of thousands of soldiers, and we were full of spirit, but now we have reached this point, it is really unpredictable!" Zhu Zhihong sighed.

"It's not unexpected, since Qiao Yu drove out of Yucheng, we are just puppets in the hands of others, let's talk about this Xufu matter, we handed over all the money on hand to him to buy weapons, and finally had to start with the ticket number, but suffered a failure, and Qiao Yu, took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and deposited it in the money bank, and immediately made those merchants grateful, to be honest, I suspect that the money was earned from our hands, in terms of means, we are too bad, and it is not strange to fall to the point where we are today!"

When Zhang Peijue heard Yang Shukan say this, he felt a little bit in his heart, and found that it really made sense, it seemed that his people were overestimating themselves, Xie Zhi on the side saw that several of them were depressed, and he was also unhappy in his heart: "A few don't have to be lost, I think we still have a chance to turn the tables, I have heard that the Dian army is about to enter Sichuan, if you can get the support of the Dian army, it is not impossible to kill Qiao Yu!" ”

As soon as Yang Shukan heard Xie Zhiyi say this, his face suddenly changed wildly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, absolutely not, you and I know the plan of the Yunnan army to enter Sichuan, everyone is from Sichuan, can you really bear to watch the old folks suffer?" We can't fight Qiao Yu, just admit defeat, but if we lure the wolf into the room, we will be poked in the backbone! ”

"Cangbai is right, and according to me, the Yunnan army is not necessarily Qiao Yu's opponent, although Cai Yi is known as the three heroes of non-commissioned officers, and the Yunnan army is also a strong army, but this war not only depends on the military, but also depends on the financial resources, and the morale of the people, the Yunnan army enters Sichuan, and it will definitely provoke the common people of Sichuan to hate the enemy, and the possibility of Qiao Yu winning is still very great!" Zhang Peijue also added.

"Shall we wait here to die, then?" As soon as Xie Zhi said this, everyone had nothing to say.

Yang Shukan slapped his thigh violently, "The attack of the Dian army is indeed a good opportunity for us, but it is not to help the Dian army, but we can make peace with Qiao Yu and join the military and political axe, and now he has to deal with the Dian army, and it is unbelievable that we can surrender!" ”

After the alliance would talk about the matter and reward the face, it sent a report to Qiao Yu, after Qiao Yu received this telegram, he couldn't stop thinking about it, the two sides had been fighting for so long, and the other party suddenly wanted to surrender, Qiao Yu inevitably had some questions.

"Tianhe, do you think it's reliable?"

"Young master, the people's army has reached a desperate situation, and if you don't surrender, there is only one way to die, I think it's mostly true!"

Qiao Yu thought about it again, "Let's accept their surrender, and immediately issue an order, appointing Yang Shukan as the deputy chief of the military and political axe military and political department, the commander of the third division of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Zhang Peijue as the deputy division commander, Zhu Zhihong as the chief of staff, and Xie Zhi as a member of the Sichuan Parliament, to put all the recently reorganized southern Sichuan People's Army into it, replenish the troops, and at the same time order them to immediately attack the Duanfang headquarters in Zizhou, and send a telegram to Qiao Zhen, let him preside over the matter of attacking the Duanfang, eliminate this force as soon as possible, and then be ready to assist southern Sichuan at any time!" ”

Wang Tianhe nodded with the order: "Young Master still has something to report to you, there are two people with more than a hundred people's troops to join our Sichuan army?" These two people are from Yunnan, one is called Long Dengyun and the other is called Lu Han! ”
