    "It's just a title." Xu Shaozeng snorted.

    "Actually, it's not bad. Luzhou was originally the territory of our division commander. Now it has been assigned to Zhao Youxin. The division commander is not satisfied. Commander-in-chief Cai is seriously ill right now. Maybe things will happen again in the future. Brigadier Xu might as well retire for the time being.  Take the next step." Liu Bin advised.

    "If Commander Liu doesn't have Luzhou, he will probably go to Chengdu, right? Once the president falls, as long as Commander-in-Chief Cai enters Chengdu, he will at least be the governor of Sichuan. However, Commander-in-Chief Cai is seriously ill. If he can't be cured in Sichuan, he will probably die soon.  After being sent abroad, Commander Liu will be close to the water." Seeing Liu Bin's eyes flickering, Xu Wei smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I am junior and not as good as Commander Liu and Commander Xiong. It doesn't matter who has the post of military governor now.  But I think it is better for Sichuan to be managed by us Sichuan people. If the Yunnan Army is allowed to occupy Nestl¨¦, we will become a character that grandpa does not love, grandma does not love, and everyone dislikes us."

    "These are all things for later. I wonder what Brigadier Xu thinks of Commander-in-Chief Cai's appointment?" Liu Bin coughed dryly.  "In addition, when Brigadier Xu plans to return the division's old headquarters."

    "Even you can't change Commander-in-Chief Cai's appointment. No matter what I can do, I'll withdraw from Luzhou City. No matter how you fight, it's all your business. As for Commander Liu's old department, after withdrawing from Luzhou City  , I will leave one camp behind, and when you move it elsewhere, I will return all the rest. Otherwise, if you hit me as soon as I release the people, I will not be shooting myself in the foot." Xu  Defend the Way.  Yuan Shikai is dead, and the overall situation in Sichuan has been decided. If the fight continues, the situation will only get worse and worse. Although the benefits are not as expected, it is time to give up when the benefits are good.

    Liu Bin said, "My master is someone who goes back on his word. Brigadier Xu is overly worried."

    Xu Wei waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to dwell on this issue any longer.

    "Assist the country and send a telegram to the governor, saying that the Japanese army's offensive is fierce, our brigade has run out of ammunition and reinforcements, and is unable to fight, Luzhou has been lost!" After sending Liu Bin and Zhang Zhifang away, Xu Wei added to Xu Shao.

    "Yes, brigade." Xu Shaozeng had no objection to Xu Wei's words. Although Zhou Jun was the military governor, Xu Shaozeng and others only followed Xu Wei's orders and returned their troops to the generals. This was also one of the most fundamental reasons for the Sichuan Civil War.

    A few days after Zhou Jun became the governor, and before he could recover from the great joy, bad news came one after another. Yuan Shikai was so angry that he passed away due to illness.  Xu Wei withdrew from Luzhou, leaving Zhou Jun directly exposed to the attack of the guards.  Originally, Zhou Jun's strength was quite strong, and Chengdu was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he didn't dare to make any plans. But now that Yuan Shikai has passed away and Xu Wei has withdrawn from Luzhou, Zhou Jun is now alone.  Cai E led the escort troops to advance quickly with light equipment. Zhong Tidao, Liu Cunhou, Shi Qingyang, Lu Chao and other troops rushed to Chengdu one after another. Zhou Jun was unable to resist even though he had three heads and six arms.  As soon as Yuan Shikai died, the world of Chengdu changed.

    Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others were busy competing for the power vacuum in Beijing's political arena after Yuan Shikai's death.  There was no time to take care of Sichuan at this time.  The morale of Zhou Jun's First Division was already in chaos before the battle. Coupled with the rising anti-war voices within Chongqing, there was no suspense about this war.  The entire battle lasted less than five days, and Zhong Ti Dao took the lead in leading the army into the city.

    Xu Wei held a sinister telegram from Chengdu and Zhou Jun with a bitter look on his face.

    Wang Xiu Sheng, who had been standing nearby for a while, said, "The situation is irreversible. The brigade in Luzhou has tried its best." Xu Wei had been fighting with the guards in Luzhou for a long time with inferior troops. In comparison, Zhou Jun was able to defeat them in just a few seconds.  Chengdu was lost within days. Although Wang Xiusheng did not personally participate in these battles, he could still feel Xu Wei's predicament in Luzhou.

    "But Governor Zhou doesn't think so." Xu Wei sighed. He was kicked out of Shanghai by Wang Lingji. If it weren't for Zhou Jun, he still didn't know where he was hanging out.  No matter what, Zhou Jun gave himself a chance. Xu Wei was not an ungrateful person, and he still felt a little guilty for Zhou Jun when he withdrew from Luzhou this time.

    "Have all the people in the second division been returned to Liu Cunhou?"

    "Liu Cunhou has sent people to collect the prisoners, but he is quite critical of the brigade's refusal to return the firearms." Wang Xiu Sheng said.

    "Return the firearms? It's his spring and autumn dream." Xu Wei sneered, and then said, "Don't worry about him. Now that the guardians have newly gained Sichuan, I'm afraid they are all focused on Chengdu, the center of power in Sichuan, and they can't take care of it for the time being.  Come to us. I have to take advantage of this time to train the troops. However, after fighting for such a long time, the guns have been worn out a lot, and now they are even more difficult to get in and out. Brother Yucheng, you used to be in charge of ordnance, but with this  I can find some ways to get some bullets."

    "My cousin has some connections with the Hanyang Arsenal. I used to go to Hubei to work with him for a while. It's not difficult to get a small amount of ordnance, but I need money to manage it." Wang Xiusheng said.

    "Hanyang Arsenal? Brother Yucheng also worked there?" Xu Wei asked.??

    Wang Xiu Sheng smiled and said, "When my family was poor, I went to live with my cousin for a while. Then by some strange combination of circumstances, I joined the army, and now I am with the brigade, no, I will be the master soon."

    Xu Weiyi smiled and said, "I still have some money here. I need to spend it as much as possible, but I try to use it as much as possible. As you know, now that the army is expanding, money will be used in all aspects. The matter of firearms will be left to Brother Yucheng.  You can get as many guns as you want, and since Brother Yucheng¡¯s cousin has connections, it¡¯s best to dig out a few gun repairmen from the Hanyang Arsenal. Some guns are broken, and they can still be used after repairing them.¡±

    Wang Xiu Sheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to get as many guns as possible."

    Cai E took control of Chengdu and soon announced that Sichuan would cancel the army and protect the army all the way. At this time, it was time to divide the interests. Xu Wei just sent a representative to Chengdu and led the 29th Brigade back to Jiangjin to rest.  Cai E had just assumed the post of military governor, and the appointment was only a matter of a day or two. It made sense for Xu Wei to still be stationed in Jiangjin.

    "Report, guest, Guo Qun is here!"

    "If there is nothing else, I will contact you right away." Wang Xiu Sheng was very good at observing faces. Seeing that Xu Wei had no intention of continuing the conversation, he immediately stood up and left.

    "Well, I'll leave the ordnance matters to you. This is the key to the Sixth Division's foothold in Sichuan from now on."

    "Brigade seat!" Guo Qun looked happy when he saw Xu Wei. He didn't expect that Xu Wei went out to fight a few battles and came back as the brigade commander. Moreover, he heard that Xu Wei would be promoted to division commander soon, and he would have seven more territories.  Although these seven counties have also suffered some wars, the situation in Qi*jiang and Jiangjin counties is much better than before.
