Long Yun's stubborn temper came up. He knocked on the table and said sternly: "I don't care who Zhuang Wenge is, but I can't agree to his request. This is simply a bully of me, no one in Yunnan, I just want to conquer and show him."

"Chairman Long," Zhou Zhongyue also interrupted, "I heard that among the abducted people, Professor Cao Ruizhi, who is a famous water conservancy expert in China and is very famous internationally. Such people are captured and slaves. If this is spread, it will be a national uproar. At that time, the political pressure will be all on us."

Long Yun was stunned for a moment. Zhuang Jihua mentioned Cao Ruizhi in the telegram, but he didn't know who he was, so he didn't care. After Zhou Zhongyue said this, he felt a little trouble. He was an Yi person naturally understood the matter of the Yi people. There were many Yi people. It was the Yi family that kidnapped the professor, and no one could explain it clearly now. What is even more worrying is that the Yi people's revenge was cruel. This group of people hid in their own territory. If the Yi people treated him as their own people, they would probably be no longer alive.

"I'll ask Sun Du to check it out." Long Yun finally let go, but Zhou Zhongyue reminded him with concern: "Tell him to ensure his safety and send the person to Kunming first."

However, the main purpose of their visit this time was to persuade Long Yun to truce. Hu Yingyou continued: "Zhizhou, Sun Du led the main force of our Yunnan Army. If there is any loss, what should I do in Kunming?"

"Liu Wenhui has no power. Zhuang Wenge only has a guard team of thousands of people. He is still far away in Chongqing. What can he do to me?" Long Yun asked with a sneer and said, "When they arrive at Huili, the rice fans will be cold long ago."

This rice noodles is a famous Yunnan snack, Guoqiao Rice Noodle. A bowl of rice noodles looks calm, but in fact there is a thick layer of oil soup on it. Diners from other provinces who don’t know the inside story will inevitably suffer disaster if they are anxious to drink the soup. So before eating this rice noodles, you must add the side dishes and cover them for a few minutes. Wait for a few minutes, and when the dishes are cooked, the rice noodles will become cold.

It seemed that there was no flaw, Hu Ying was speechless, and Zhou Zhongyue interrupted, "What if Chiang Kai-shek asked you to stop?"

"Unless he agrees to my request." Long Yun is very confident now. The Guangdong-Guangdong Incident is about to break out, and Chiang Kai-shek needs him to surpass Liu Wenhui.

"If he agreed to your request, would you send troops?" Hu Ying looked at him and shook her head.

"No," Long Yun immediately replied: "Now Chiang Kai-shek's power is getting stronger and stronger. Only by uniting local forces can they fight against him. If he eliminates Guangdong and Guangxi, the next step may be our Yunnan. So I cannot participate in this matter, and neither side can participate."

"Isn't that all. Your statement has no effect on Chiang Kai-shek, so you are useless to Chiang Kai-shek. Why did he punish Liu Wenhui? Why can't he deal with you?" Hu Ying stamped his feet in a hurry.

Long Yun did not understand Hu Ying's meaning. Hu Ying's true meaning was that Chiang Kai-shek had actually seen through his purpose, and compared with Liu Wenhui, he posed a greater threat to Chiang Kai-shek. So Chiang Kai-shek was completely possible to deal with him, and he did not express his attitude now. It was just because he didn't know whether Zhuang Jihua could deal with him Long Yun.

Lu Han didn't understand, but his intuition told him that it was dangerous to continue the war. The words Hu Ying said just now that Zhuang Jihua was not easy to mess with were very reasonable.

"Cousin, I think I'd better stop. Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhou and others have a deep understanding.

Before Lu Han finished speaking, Long Yun interrupted him: "Yongheng, I didn't want to fight. You all thought I had lost my mind. In fact, I didn't even want to go." Long Yun stood up, walked back and forth in the room for two steps, and then stopped and said heavily: "Have you ever thought about it? If Chiang Kai-shek could successfully deal with Guangdong and Guangxi, who would he target in the next step?"

Hu Ying, Lu Han, and Zhou Zhongyue were stunned.

"It's all for us. Look at the map. By then, the only one who will be He Jian and I will be south of the Yangtze River. Zhuang Jihua successfully entered Sichuan. Guizhou has been solved by him. If we don't show some strength, we may be going to Nanjing next year."

Long Yun's words were heavy, but it was not unreasonable. Hu Ying and Zhou Zhongyue were speechless. Lu Han thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, we won't say anything anymore. However, cousin, in order to prevent accidents, I went to southern Yunnan and organized the security regiment there into troops."

Long Yun stared at him, thinking about his purpose in his heart. Although they were cousins, the two had a lot of conflicts. The most dangerous time was to abandon the division and change the brigade. Lu Han and several other division commanders even reached the point of breaking with Long Yun. Fortunately, Hu Ying came forward to persuade them, and the breaking did not happen in the end, and Long Yun finally controlled Yunnan.

Lu Han looked at Long Yun very calmly. This time he really didn't have any other intentions. Long Yun's mind turned a lot. Suddenly he smiled. Now his rule in Yunnan has been relatively consolidated. Lu Han's foundation is the same as him. They are all Yi people with a lot of Chineseization, but...

"Okay, the army should be expanded." Long Yun nodded.

The internal unity has been temporarily achieved, but the external wars are not going well, which should be very unsuccessful.

Sun Du's attack on Huili was very unsuccessful. At the beginning, they were able to approach the city wall and even rushed up the city wall for a while, but then they were counterattacked by the guards. Their counterattack was extremely fierce, and the troops rushing into the city were quickly driven out. Then the internal team of the city adjusted their defense deployment, and Sun Du could no longer approach the city wall.

An Enpu, who returned from the halfway of Dechang, attacked Baolin Mountain even more miserably, so the officers and soldiers of the model brigade who had always been tenacious were a little afraid of Baolin Mountain. They felt that it was not that they were attacking, but that they were defending. The artillery fire on the mountain was more fierce than them, machine guns were more intense, and they fought harder. Their attacks were the same every time. The first half was very smooth. When you saw hope halfway up the mountain, the rain of bullets from the mountain drove them down, and then they began to counterattack and pursue.

No matter how Long Yun scolded him in Kunming, Sun Du had no choice, and An Enpu had no choice. The extremely high casualties made them not want to continue.

The demands of the generals in front would not work with Long Yun. Long Yun insisted that they defeat Huili. Long Yun was now in a difficult position, and Chiang Kai-shek ignored him. The strength of the Yunnan military was fully exposed in the Battle of Huili. If he retreated like this, Long Yun could imagine who Chiang Kai-shek would deal with next step.

However, Sun Du and An Enpu and other generals jointly requested reinforcements. Long Yun could not, just draw a brigade from the Kunming garrison and add several security groups from the Zhaotong area to Huili. These security groups were trained by An Enpu in Zhaotong. Although they were not as good as regular troops, they were still stronger than ordinary militias. These troops had a total of six or seven thousand people. During this period, Huili's battlefield was in a stalemate.

As soon as the garrison troops left, Zhuang Jihua's ultimatum arrived. In the ultimatum, Zhuang Jihua reiterated his first four conditions, but reduced the compensation requirement to six million, and the rest of the country remained unchanged. This document was limited to a reply within 24 hours.

Long Yun felt a deep crisis after receiving the ultimatum. After thinking for a moment, he sent a telegram to Liu Xiang. He had no contact with Liu Xiang before, but now he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

In the telegram, Long Yun accused Liu Wenhui of bullying people too much and provoking conflicts between Sichuan and Yunnan. He suggested that Sichuan and Yunnan work together to expel Liu Wenhui, and then the Yunnan army withdraw to Yunnan. Never do not have an inch of Xikang land.

Of course, Liu Xiang knew who Long Yun was going to join forces with him to deal with him. He said to Zhang Sike lightly: "This Long Manzi, Zhuang Wenge, had panic before he really started. If he didn't fight, he would have been defeated."

Zhang Sike nodded and said yes. Even Fu Chang, who had always disliked Zhuang Jihua, thought that Long Yun might not be able to hold on, but Qiao Yifu said: "Mr. Fu, I think I can remind Long Zhizhou and ask him to withdraw his troops and admit defeat now. Otherwise,..."

"Otherwise, Zhuang Wenge will turn around to deal with us after he has dealt with Long Zhizhou." Zhang Sike continued his words, and Qiao Yifu nodded.

"But we can't deal with Zhuang Wenge," said Zhang Sike: "Zhuang Wenge has 50,000 troops in his hands. This time he mobilized up to 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 are all in Chongqing. What is it to do? Isn't it just to guard against us? Even if we attack Chongqing, what will Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Li Jiayu and others react? Chongqing's arsenal can produce 30,000 rifles every month. Neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Yang Sen Deng Xihou Li Jiayu will allow this armed base to fall into our hands. At that time, we may rescue Long Zhizhou ashore, but we will fall into the water ourselves."

"That just means that we must establish a good relationship with Long Yun and can support each other in the future." Qiao Yifu said while thinking. They all understood the meaning of Zhang Sike's words to save Long Yun. Once they take action, Zhuang Cultural Ge will definitely return to rescue Chongqing, so Long Yun may reach an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhuang Cultural Ge will join forces with Yang Sen and others to destroy Liu Xiang first. However, Qiao Yifu still believes that saving Long Yun is a threat in front of him, and not saving Long Yun is a long-term threat. For the long-term plan, Long Yun should be helped.

"You can remind Long Zhizhou and tell him that we cannot deal with Zhuang Wenjie. He would better accept the conditions of Zhuang Wenjie and keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood." Zhang Sike said as if he finally reached a conclusion.

Liu Xiang's kind reminder was quickly sent to Long Yun, but Long Yun was shocked. They could not agree with Zhuang Wenge. What does this mean? Zhuang Wenge's military strength exceeded them? It's impossible. Liu Xiang is still the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army and the chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Government. If Zhuang Wenge was stronger than him, Chiang Kai-shek would have driven him off the stage long ago.

Long Yun was not sure about Liu Xiang's intention, so he invited Hu Ying to discuss. After reading Liu Xiang's telegram, Hu Ying immediately said to him: "Immediately order Sun Du to withdraw his troops, and you can send a representative to Dechang to Zhuang Cultural Revolution to negotiate."

After Hu Ying finished speaking, Long Yun was still hesitating. He couldn't help but say anxiously: "Long Zhizhou, why are you hesitating? Liu Fucheng's telegram is very clear. He has more than 100,000 troops but cannot deal with Zhuang Wenjie. This means that Zhuang Wenjie's comprehensive strength has exceeded Liu Fucheng's strength. In war, is it just a fight against the army?"

Long Yun was a little awakened now, and he immediately ordered Sun Du to withdraw his troops, and at the same time sent Zhuang Jihua, Dechang Di. He agreed to negotiate on his four keys. But at this time, twenty-four hours had passed, and Sun Du wanted to leave but found that it was difficult for him to escape. On June 1st, Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Deng Yanda, Li Jishen and others announced the establishment of a military committee and anti-Japanese rescue in Guangzhou. Chen Jitang was appointed as the chairman and the commander-in-chief of the **, Li Zongren, Li Chongxi was the deputy commander-in-chief, Bai Chongxi was the chief of staff, Deng Yanda, and Li Jishen were the member of the military committee. The Guangdong-Guangdong Incident officially broke out.
