"What? Xu Wei actually asked for Luzhou and the counties to the north of Luzhou?" Liu Yunfeng couldn't help but get angry when he heard Xiong Kewu's words. The whole of Sichuan is so big, Xu Wei wanted to go to Luzhou and the northern part of it at once. of seven counties. At this time, Xiong Kewu had not yet spoken out about Qi*jiang and Jiangjin. These two counties can only be regarded as private transactions between Xiong Kewu and Xu Wei. After Xiong Kewu took control of Chongqing, it was time for the dragon to enter the sea. What he would do at that time did not depend on other people's faces. At this time, Xiong Kewu only had five thousand soldiers and was short of bullets. If the matter was revealed at this time, I am afraid that Xiong Kewu would be in trouble. Difficult to do so.
"Xu Wei's requirements are naturally a bit high, but we have fought so many large and small battles in Luzhou during this period, and we have not gotten any benefits at all. According to the news from Luzhou City, Xu Wei has recently expanded a regiment , the strength of the army has exceeded 8,000, and none of us here have been in battle for a long time, and the old skills in our hands are almost the same. If we really fight with Xu Wei under Luzhou City, we will probably have to pay almost the same, or even more. At the price, if the defense force really weakens, the Beiyang army that has retreated to Chongqing at this time may come out again at any time." Xiong Kewu said, "In this case, why can't we make some concessions appropriately."
"Now that we have given in to Xu Wei, when we reach Chengdu, will we have to give in to Zhou Jun again?" Zhao Youxin said dissatisfied, "If we take a step back every time we pass, what's the use of holding high the banner of protecting the country?" ?¡±
"My Second Division has been severely damaged in several battles. Now it has no ammunition and insufficient food supplies, and is unable to fight anymore. If Commander Zhao Ti does not want to compromise, he can lead his army to capture Luzhou City. My Second Division is willing to Waving flags and shouting for Captain Zhao Ti." Liu Zhenhua said, neither salty nor bland. The implication could not be more obvious. Since you don't want to, then you can conquer Luzhou with your own strength, and labor and management will not wade into this muddy water.
"The 29th Brigade is quite powerful, and Xu Wei is even more brave and good at fighting. I think that if we had to fight to the death at the foot of Luzhou City, even if we reached the capital, we would not be able to continue, and I'm afraid we would lose even more by then. If Xu Wei can be won over, Sichuan's overall situation will be decided." Xiong Kewu said. "What we gave up was a small profit, but what we gained was the whole of Sichuan."
Liu Zhenhua and Xiong Kewu both said this, and Zhao Youxin was immediately speechless. Although his echelon commander was at the same level as Xu Wei's brigade, in terms of military strength, he was only as good as Xu Wei's regiment. If Liu Zhenhua and Xiong Kewu were to watch the Luzhou battle with cold eyes, even if they and Liu Yunfeng were to defeat all the two echelons, they might not be able to defeat Xu Wei's severely overstaffed 29th Brigade.
¡°I think it¡¯s better to report this matter to Commander-in-Chief Cai, who will make the decision.¡± Liu Yunfeng said somewhat unconvinced.
Everyone made a fuss over Cai E, who was just lying on the bed to rest. The group of people walked outside the house and unconsciously slowed down their steps. From every detail, we can see their respect for Cai E. Cai E is not only famous, but his excellent command in previous battles has convinced these proud soldiers and generals to be convinced of him. Once upon a time, the Beiyang Army forcibly captured three towns in Wuhan and forced Sun Wen to relinquish the position of president. Then they went on a rampage across the country and largely unified the entire Republic of China. However, under extremely difficult conditions, Cai E and the Beiyang Army fought inextricably in Sichuan, with each other winning or losing. If there were equal forces, Cai E would have already driven the Beiyang Army out of Sichuan by this time.
"Yes" When Cai E saw everyone, he stood up from the bed and opened his mouth to speak, but then coughed violently. At this time, Cai E's throat was so tight that it was difficult for him to speak.
"Commander, let's tell you what happened, and then you can write down your decision on paper." Zhao Youxin respected Cai E the most and hurried forward a few steps.
Cai E braced himself up and listened to what happened. He frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, during which no one disturbed Cai E.
After a while, Cai E picked up his pen and ink
"Travel seat, Travel seat! Something big has happened!"
"What's the matter?" Xu Wei looked at the usually steady Xu Shaozeng with some surprise.
"The president passed away due to illness." Xu Shaozeng said.
The cup in Xu Wei¡¯s hand suddenly fell, bang! Tea splashed everywhere!
"Xu Wei, what's wrong with you?" Chen Guoer, a first-time wife, whose fair face became more and more delicate, couldn't help but ask when she saw Xu Wei was lost in thought. Xu Shaozeng rarely saw Xu Wei lose his composure like this. Even when he was forced out of Chongqing by Wang Lingji, this was never the case.
"This is the end of an era. Who else in the Republic of China can clean up the current mess?" Xu Wei shook his head and said that he was fine. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, when it really became a reality, Xu Wei found that he was also a little at a loss. . Perhaps future generations will despise the short-sightedness of the Sichuan warlords who spent all their limited power on the civil war. Sichuan's great resources were wasted.
As a bystander, you can maintain a detached attitude. But once you get involved,?Know that sometimes you can¡¯t just do whatever you want. Xu Wei's current industry has an annual income of hundreds of thousands. If invested in the local area, it can greatly stimulate the local economy and promote industrial development. But reality is not that you can do whatever you want. If you spend your money on industry and be surrounded by wolves, you will only be swallowed up until even the dregs are left.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Who can be so noble as to engage in construction themselves, only to have the benefits taken away by others, not even able to save their own wealth and life?
"Report, guest seat." Wang Congyun's voice sounded outside the house.
"What's up?"
Wang Congyun said, "Liu Bin, Zhang Zhifang would like to see you."
Liu Cunhou and Xiong Kewu are not fools. After seeing each other talking to Xu Wei separately, they quickly got together. During the War to Protect the Country, the Yunnan Army went north to attack cities and conquer lands, which made the generals in various departments in central Sichuan feel a sense of vigilance. At this time, if Liu Cunhou's second division wanted to restore its combat strength in the shortest possible time, it must obtain the original veterans from Xu Wei. If Xiong Kewu wants to take root again in Chongqing, he also needs the support of fixed allies.
"Bring them here together." Xu Weidao said, since Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou got together so quickly, there was no need for him to be secretive.
Chen Guoer retreated to the side hall for a while, and Liu Bin and Zhang Zhifang rushed over.
¡°I¡¯ve met Brigadier Xu.¡±
"Enough chatter, how about Mr. Xiong and Mr. Liu?" Xu Wei asked.
"Brigadier Xu, you also know that the Yunnan Army is the main force in this war to protect the country. In order to balance the several units, Commander-in-Chief Cai also needs to give certain benefits to his several echelon commanders. Luzhou was assigned to the second Ladder leader Zhao Youxin." Zhang Zhifang said with a dry cough. "However, through the efforts of the commander and Commander Liu, we have obtained enough benefits for Brigadier Xu."
"What's the benefit?" Xu Wei frowned and said, big cities like Chongqing and Chengdu are not his turn, but Luzhou has to give up, which really makes Xu Wei feel a little uncomfortable.
"Commander-in-Chief Cai said that the seven counties of Luzhou, including Yongchuan, Rongchang, Tongliang, Dazu, Bishan, Hechuan, and Wusheng, can be placed under the rule of Brigadier Xu, and he can be given the designation of the Sixth Sichuan Division, but this year The war in Sichuan caused huge consumption, so we had to raise our own food supplies in the first year." Zhang Zhifang said, "In addition, the master's promise is still valid."
