Situ Baili, who was notified to come to the Governor's Mansion, began to think about what Xu Bin would do there next when Xu Bin did not come back. With the current strength of the Xu Jiajun's reserves, after taking the Sandao land controlled by the revolutionary army, they already have the strength to unify the whole country. The presupposition, of course, is that it does not provoke a joint counterattack by all the governors of the country.

When he walked into Xu Bin's office and saw Xu Bin using a red pen to draw circles around the three southwestern provinces, he smiled and said, "Dashuai, it seems that once you have come to Nanbin, your appetite has also become bigger." In one breath, you are going to take the southwest three provinces, and it seems that you have decided to implement the layout of unifying the whole country! ”

Xu Bin smiled and said: "This is a matter of time or time, not to mention that the chief of staff has been looking forward to the arrival of this day?" At present, we are in the midst of a strong army, and the grain and grass are well stocked, and if we don't move, others still think that we are going to do something in private! After taking the three southwestern provinces, the entire East China Army will have a stable rear, and I can also have more confidence in the northern provinces! ”

Situ Baili naturally looked forward to the arrival of this day, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, then our division must be famous, right?" Caiyun, the governor who was his brother-in-law, invaded Shu Han Dao in the name of avenging his brother-in-law, what about us? ”

Xu Bin shook his head and said: "When we don't have strength, we need an excuse, when we have strength, everything depends on strength." In addition, Shu Han is located on the edge of our Dong Lake and Qianhu Lake, and the civil affairs department has recently sent several telegrams that a large number of refugees from Shu Han Road have fled to our two roads over the mountains to escape the war. The local Ministry of Civil Affairs is also under great pressure!

It's still the old rule, first warn the warlords of Shu Han and Caiyun to stop all civil war behaviors. Accept the appointment arrangement of the government, and if you don't listen, you will raise troops to fight you. Anyway, there are many excuses. The key is that we have complete control over all three. First take Shu Han and Caiyun two provinces, as for the southwest road is already in the encirclement. At that time, he will not take the initiative to attach, and will directly crusade. ”

Seeing that Xu Bin had a comprehensive consideration, Situ Baili didn't say anything, and quickly discussed the specific route with Xu Bin. And after the two bigwigs of the East China Army discussed until midnight, the next day the People's Daily published a photo of the civil war between Shu Han and Caiyun, which led to the displacement of the people.

The warlord who smelled some breath from this felt that the East China Army could not make the next target, which was Shu Han Dao. This Taoist government, which has the reputation of being the source of the great Han in the country of abundance, has recently been fighting one after another with large and small warlords. The people who used to have a good life. Almost three days to change the governor and ruler. The so-called tax to be paid is naturally paid once every three days.

developed to Zuihou, those landlords with a little money, saw that the opportunity was wrong and immediately rolled up some family wealth, so they ran to the boundary of Donghu and Qianhu Road to make a living and take refuge. Originally fertile land. Now it is also a large area of desertion. As for the Shu Han people near the land of Liangdao, they even dragged their families over the mountains and mountains to come to the land of Liangdao to beg for food.

With the deliberately created voices against the civil war. Several newspapers said that the newly formed East China Army. Conquer the Shu Han Road that is still in continuous civil strife. This voice undoubtedly startled the warlords of Shu Han, and even the governor of Caiyun, who currently occupies half of the land, also said that this is the internal affairs of the people in the southwest and does not want the East China Army to interfere.

But just when the governor of Caiyun seemed full of confidence and asked the East China Army not to interfere. Xu Bin finally spoke. published his intention in the People's Daily, that is, to let the Caiyun Army withdraw from Shu Han Road. As for the candidate for the governor of Shu Han, it was assigned by the national government. We should put an end to this chaotic situation as soon as possible and provide a peaceful living environment for the people in the surrounding areas controlled by the East China Army.

It also published in detail the East China Military and Civil Affairs Department. The high cost of relief for these refugees who have fled. Xu Bin's meaning is very simple, he can not interfere in the internal affairs of the southwest. But they fought back and forth, influencing the development of the two lanes controlled by the East China Army. Who bears this responsibility?

In the face of Xu Bin's reply, the governor of Caiyun Road said very directly, these refugees were not let by him to flee to the control area of the East China Army. Xu Bin is willing to pay for this money, who can blame him? Moreover, this is to blame for the fact that the various warlords of Shu Han have not managed it well, at least at present, in the area controlled by the Caiyun Army, there has not been a case of fleeing from the famine.

These words undoubtedly aroused a lot of public indignation, and as for Li Shichang, as the governor, he also sent a telegram on behalf of the national government. That is to hope that the Caiyun Army will withdraw from Shu Han, and at the same time, let Shu Han still kill and live the warlords and stop the war against each other. It also gave the people of Shu Han Dao a peaceful living environment, and not long after the telegram was sent, the Caiyun army invaded the territory of a small warlord again. Suddenly a new round of battles took place!

Regarding this kind of obviously defying the wind, Xu Bin did not express his intention again, but directly ordered the assembled First Army and the Fourth Army. From the two places of Donghu and Qianhu, directly attack the Shu Han Road.

Compared with the First Army, which was responsible for cleaning up the large and small warlord troops in Shu Han, the Fourth Army sent troops from Donghu. Along the southwest border, it went straight to Caiyun Road and forced the Caiyun Army, which marched to the center of Shu Han, to retreat and protect itself.

In addition to the two armies that began to advance into the Shu Han Road, the Caiyun Army and the large and small warlords of Shu Han were caught off guard, and Xu Bin sent a telegram to Wang Zhongzheng, the second army of the original Revolutionary Army. He began to mobilize troops at the junction of Guixi and Caiyun, and waited for orders from the general headquarters at any time. Cooperate with the Fourth Army of the White Palace Hall and join forces to capture Caiyun Dao.

When he realized that his backyard was in danger, the governor of Caiyun Road was undoubtedly panicked and said that he would withdraw immediately. I hope that the East China Army will stop its invasion of Caiyun Road, how can the East China Army, which has already sent troops to this point, stop attacking!

Just when the two main forces of the original Xu Jiajun swept through the general siege of the city, they quickly mobilized the Caiyun Army that was deployed on the front line of western Guangxi. had to give up his territory in Shu Han and stick to his own backyard without losing it. In addition, in order to keep the territory, the governor of Caiyun Road also wanted to invite the governor of the southwest to send troops to join forces to deal with the East China army, which would definitely not let them go in the future.

After receiving a telegram from the governor of Choiyun Province, the governor of Southwest Province quickly convened a military and political council to discuss how to choose a border battle in this war. Is it to remain neutral, or to join the Caiyun coalition army, which is likely to be defeated, or simply go down to the well to help the East China Army and completely drive the Caiyun army out of the southwest?

On this issue, the military and political leaders of the Southwest Army seem to be divided into three factions. Everyone was arguing and shouting, and they couldn't come up with a specific opinion at all. Until Tie Berlin, the eldest son of the governor of Southwest Province, suddenly stood up and said, "Father, uncles, if you don't mind, can you listen to my opinion on this matter?" ”

For the eldest son, who is now the commander of the first division of the First Army of the Southwest Army, he is also the recognized candidate for the successor of the governor of the Southwest Army. His sudden interjection undoubtedly made everyone present stop arguing, looking at Tie Berlin, who is also known as a rookie in the southwest, hoping to hear his opinion on this matter.

Facing his father's expectant eyes, Tie Berlin calmly took out a map and said: "You can take a look, according to the current report of our spies, the fourth army of the Xu family's army, the White Palace, has been along the border between us and Shu Han, straight into the Caiyun Road. They marched fast, and they weren't war-loving, it seemed that everything was done to get to the Caiyun border.

In addition, the first army of the Xu family army set out from Qianhu and marched together by land and water. At present, Qingcheng, a military town of Shu Han, has been controlled, and half of the Shu Han Second Army, which was originally stationed here, has defected. It can be said that this place is completely under the control of Xu Jiajun.

In addition to the two main forces of the Xu Jiajun, the first part of Wang Zhongzheng, the Second Army of the former Revolutionary Army, which was merged into it, according to our spies. We have completed the whole training, this is the Second Army of the Revolutionary Army with which we have dealt before. This time, with the financial and material support of the Xu Jiajun, the mortars were distributed to the company-level units. Battalion-level units are equipped with radios.

In addition to this, their second army, with a heavy howitzer division. This kind of strength, I am afraid that with the strength of our entire army, it may not be their opponent. At the moment, they are not moving, not because they don't want to attack Caiyun, but because they are waiting for us to make a choice.

In fact, in my opinion, the fall of Caiyun and Shu Han is only a matter of time, and when the time comes, the newly established East China Army. We don't need to do anything at all, as long as we block all the passages out of the southwest, we will also face the end of sitting still. As for the so-called joining the Caiyun Army, or neutrality, in my opinion, it is an act of seeking death.

Regardless of this matter, from the feedback of the troops sent to Beiyi by our Southwest Province to participate in the National Defense War, the volunteer division sent by the Xu Jiajun to Beiyi was not completely wiped out as we imagined. Instead, he was active in the enemy war zone in Beiyi and continued to fight the little devils. The speed of development of its troops is no longer large enough to be the size of an army.

Coupled with the three naval fleets currently owned by the East China Army, don't you see it? This time, the East China Army raised troops to enter Shuhan and Caiyun, the purpose was to create a stable rear. Relying on the vast land of the south, the military layout to unify the whole country began. Even the little devils of the Sun Kingdom can't stop the rise of the Xu family's army, do you think we alone have this ability?

With his future bowing down, it is better to take the initiative to choose to surrender, maybe we still have a chance. In the future, after Xu Jiajun completes the reunification, he will gain a reputation as a founding hero. This is the trend of the times, if we don't make a choice sooner rather than later. Once the Fourth Army of the Xu Family Army begins to enter the territory of Caiyun, then we will express our willingness to join. I'm afraid there won't be many benefits to be gained! ”

Looking at Tie Berlin along a hanging map of Longhua, he simply and directly stated his guess about this military operation. The military and political officials in Southwest Province felt that they were thinking too one-sidedly. The newly established East China Army is simply planning to launch a war to unify the whole country! But think about it, the strength shown by today's East China Army seems to really have this trend!
