Chapter 144 Entering Guizhou

Looking at Yang Shan with an arrogant look, Gan Ruotong, who was sent to question him, looked as if he was ashen. "You Sichuan army is here to take care of our Guizhou affairs. General, it seems that this is inappropriate..."

"Helping neighboring provinces to quell civil unrest is an order issued by our governor before leaving. If you want to reason, go to Chengdu to talk to our governor." Sitting upright on the horse's back, Yang Shan looked at Gan Ruotong with a sarcastic look. "Or do you have to invite someone so that we can come?"

"Don't you, the governor, know how the word "reason" is written?!" Gan Ruotong gritted her teeth and asked loudly.

"Rareless!" Before Yang Shan could react, several personal soldiers on the side had already raised their whips and whipped them down.

Although Gan Ruotong was so furious that several personal soldiers were sucked, looking at the Wanchuan Army like a long dragon behind Yang Shan, more than a dozen soldiers escorting Gan Ruotong over, let alone pulling their guns, they didn't dare to even protect them afterwards...

When Gan Ruotong was sucked in blood, after signaling several personal soldiers to stop, Yang Shan put his head on a horse whip. "It's so miserable, let's do it. For the sake of your being sucked so miserable, I will give you a message for free." Yang Shan looked at Gan Ruotong with a mocking look. "This time our Sichuan Army will enter Guizhou to quell the rebellion because someone invited him..."

"Who is it?" Gan Ruotong asked hurriedly when he heard Yang Shan say this.

"It's your Privy Council President Zhang Bailin, Lord Zhang..." Yang Shan was of course lying to him. Not long after Zhang Bailin had just escaped to Guangxi, even if Feng Nan was fast, it would be impossible to "invite" Zhang Bailin so quickly. However, as long as the news reached Guizhou, even if Zhang Bailin was not invited back, at least for the first time, it would reduce a lot of trouble for Yang Shan.

"It was indeed Zhang Bailin who invited him back. No, I want to go back to Guiyang immediately to tell Lord Ren and Lord Liu..." Gan Ruotong, who didn't know that he had been deceived, covered his wound and gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Shan, preparing to return to Guiyang to inform Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng of the news.

However, just as Gan Ruotong turned over the horse, Yang Shan raised his hand and shot him off the horse's back.

"Sir!" Several soldiers surrounded him, but the rest looked at Yang Shan with horror.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Yang Shan looked at Gan Ruotong who was lying motionless on the ground. "If it's just a message, it doesn't matter if there is no one person missing..."

However, seeing Yang Shan doing this, the chief of staff frowned. "Team Commander, will it be possible to do this..." If possible, the chief of staff still hoped that this combat operation would shed less blood. Although the few personal soldiers just now had harshly shot, at least no one had died. Now Yang Shan raised his hand and beat the officials sent to death. Wouldn't he do the trick?

After shook his head and signaling the soldiers to get out of here with Gan Ruotong's body, Yang Shan said to the Chief of Staff. "Before leaving, the governor once told me privately that the person named Liu Xianshi might have invited the Yunnan army to enter Guizhou to intervene in the civil strife in Guizhou, so no matter how you do this, it will be impossible to do it..."

"What the governor said?" The chief of staff was surprised. "Why didn't the governor say it directly at the combat meeting?"

"What else can I do? Of course I'm afraid Minister Song will oppose it." Yang Shan smiled bitterly. "You think, Minister Song opposed it so strongly when the Yunnan Army was not involved. If he knew that the Yunnan Army had also been involved, would we still come out?"

In fact, in addition to being afraid of Song Dinghan's opposition, there is another reason that Yan Guang cannot explain the source of the news. If he was not afraid of Yang Shan paying unnecessary losses when he was careless, Yan Guang would not even want to tell this matter.

"But the Yunnan Army is indeed a bit troublesome..."

Seeing the Chief of Staff looking a little worried, Yang Shan sneered. "What's the trouble? Yunnan has only one town, and it's just a temporary organization like the 3rd Division. Even if the situation in Guizhou is in chaos, can the governor still send out all the troops in the entire town?"

Hearing Yang Shan say this, the Chief of Staff nodded. "That's true..."

Although the performance of the Yunnan Army was much more dazzling than that of the Sichuan Army in the early Republic of China, it can be seen from the plan of the 36 towns formulated by the Qing government in the late Qing Dynasty that Yunnan is indeed worse than Sichuan in terms of economy and other aspects. Moreover, not every governor can be like Yan Guang, and there is no need to consider financial issues in the compilation and purchasing equipment. (In the plan of the 36 towns, Sichuan has three towns and Yunnan has two towns, but in fact, both were temporarily organized into one town by the year of Xinhai, but the worst was Guizhou, because Guizhou only formed a bid (group)...)

"Okay, we have been wasting a lot of time here, and tell my brothers that we must take down Dafang County before sunset."

"yes!"

In the Governor's Office in Guiyang, Gan Ruotong's body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the lobby. However, Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng ignored the bodies lying there, and just asked the soldiers who went with Gan Ruotong. "What did that Sichuan general really say?"

Although he was a little disappointed with Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng's performance, the soldier hurriedly replied. "I listened clearly, and the commander of the Sichuan Army did say that they were invited to Guizhou by Zhang Bailin..."

Sitting back to the governor's seat, Liu Xianshi waved to the soldiers and waited until the soldiers retreated before saying to Ren Kecheng. "Things are moving towards the worst direction. This group of Sichuan troops was indeed invited by Zhang Bailin..."

Ren Kecheng nodded. "At present, we can only see Dai Kan and the Dian Army."

"Dian Army..." Liu Xianshi smiled bitterly. "Even if Dai Kan is really successful, can the Yunnan Army be reliable? You must know that the Sichuan Army came here this time with the troops of a town."

"Even if we can't rely on it, we have no other way. If the Sichuan Army was not invited by Zhang Bailin, maybe we can still consider the matter of committing ourselves and seeking support. However, since they were invited by Zhang Bailin, our relationship will be endless..."

After hearing Ren Kecheng say this, Liu Xianshi nodded in agreement, but even so, a shadow was still buried in his heart.

Just when Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng were still worried about whether the Yunnan army was reliable, Dai Kan, who said goodbye to Cai E, had already caught up with Tang Jiyao.

He didn't know that in order to intervene in the Guizhou chaos this time, Yan Guang sent a whole town's troops. After learning that Guizhou gentry such as Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng were willing to recommend him as the governor of Guizhou, Tang Jiyao, who was already quite ambitious, quickly nodded in agreement.

At this time, Cai E had already learned the truth about the Guizhou incident from Zhong Changzuo, and kept sending Tang Jiyao to stop. However, how could Tang Jiyao, who had already received the promise of Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng, be willing to stop, so after just replying to Cai E that he "stepped into Guizhou, he could not change the way." Tang Jiyao led the Yunnan army to continue marching towards Guiyang.

At this time, Yang Shan had already led 10,000 Sichuan troops into Dafang County under the leadership of the county magistrate who surrendered in Kaicheng...
