"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff, otherwise, let me go to the capital by Lao Zhao!" Zhao Bowen rubbed his hands and said. Go to the capital by rushing to the capital! If this is successful, it will be a thing that will be remembered forever! Therefore, since Cai Yun cares about Wang Yuze's identity and does not agree to him, Zhao Bowen will certainly not miss this opportunity.

"Don't think about it!" Wang Yuze rejected Zhao Bowen. This was the solution he came up with. How could Zhao Bowen pick this peach?

"Uh!" Zhao Bowen had to touch his nose, smiled awkwardly, and stopped saying anything more.

"Uncle Cai, don't worry! I have already made a complete plan. There will definitely be no danger. Now the new Qing Dynasty imperial guards have already arrived in Shaanxi, and there are only 100,000 master soldiers left around the capital. Those master soldiers are not very good at defending the city, let alone launching an attack on us. The forces of the two brigades are enough to allow me to easily approach the capital and retreat smoothly!" Wang Yuze persuaded again. If Cai Yun disagreed, it would be impossible for him to lead his army to attack the capital.

"Yuze, can you still want to use the troops of two brigades to defeat the capital? The defense of the capital is much stronger than that of Xi'an City in front of you. There is no problem for those Eight Banners master soldiers to defend within the city." Cai Yun said.

"Uncle Cai, I didn't think about capturing the capital in this battle. I just wanted to accelerate the process of the war. Now, although we have gained obvious advantages on all fronts, it will take a lot of time to completely defeat the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, during this period, the great powers may intervene at any time. If our army can appear in the capital, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the country. At that time, the Qing Dynasty will inevitably draw reinforcements to rescue the capital. And now they are

The reinforcements that can be drawn seemed to be the only ones who rushed to Xi'an. From Xi'an to the capital, there are a total of two thousand miles! After the new guards come from Xi'an, they must immediately return to the capital from Xi'an. Even if the new guards are elite troops, it is enough to make them a tired soldier. At that time, we can concentrate several brigades of cavalry and eat them up in one fell swoop. By that time, it will be time for the overall situation to be decided!" Wang Yuze expressed his thoughts.

"That's right! The New Guards Army is the last manchurning force in the Qing Dynasty. As long as we eat this force, the Qing Dynasty will be completely finished!" Zhao Bowen also said excitedly. Although he cannot lead his army to attack the capital, it would not be unfair if he can participate in the battle to annihilate the New Guards Army!

"This plan is good, but I have to ask the Grandmaster for instructions!" Cai Yun was a little loose, but he still didn't want Wang Yuze to take risks. If something unexpected happened, he would not be able to bear this responsibility!

"Uncle Cai, it took several days to travel back and forth from Xi'an to Chengdu! The telegram line has not been set up. After my father replied, the daylily was cold! Please give me ten thousand hearts, I will definitely not be in trouble!" Wang Yuze said hurriedly.

Cai Yun hesitated for a moment, but in the end he was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to agree to Wang Yuze's request.

"Yuze, but you have to promise me that if you can't do anything, lead the army to retreat immediately. In addition, you cannot risk passing by the capital. Your safety is the most important thing." Cai Yun said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cai, I promise you that I will definitely take the overall situation into consideration!" Wang Yuze promised. He knew that Cai Yun was for his own good. Besides, he had died once, and he didn't want to die a second time, and would not joke about his life.

Next, Wang Yuze quickly summoned the troops and began to set off. This time, the two brigades that rushed to the capital with him were the 10th Brigade and the 13th Brigade of the Second Cavalry Army, with more than 17,000 people in total. In order to ensure speed, Wang Yuze deliberately asked to be equipped with one man and two horses. If it were in the past, the Western Sichuan Army would not have been able to produce so many war horses. However, after annexing Qinghai and Gansu, he took over the large number of war horses and horse farms of the Ma family army, and the resources of the Western Sichuan Army would not be short of shortage.

The generals of the 10th Brigade and the 13th Brigade were also excited and excited after learning that Wang Yuze would lead them to the capital for thousands of miles. Everyone knows that although this is a little dangerous, if it succeeds, it will be a great contribution!

In the afternoon, Wang Yuze led his army to set off. They will go north from Xi'an, pass Tongchuan and Yan'an, exit the desert from Yulin, go east along the Gobi Desert, pass through Suiyuan and Chahar, enter Zhili from Zhangjiakou, and approach the capital. The entire journey is more than 3,000 miles. Fortunately, these areas are empty places with the Qing Dynasty's troops, otherwise they would have to spend more time on the road. Even so, Wang Yuze asked to arrive at the capital within a week, so that this attack could remain the greatest sudden.

After Wang Yuze led his army to set off, the Western Sichuan Army stopped its attack on Xi'an and adopted the tactic of siege but not fighting. This made the Xi'an defenders breathe a sigh of relief. Although they repelled the attacks of the Western Sichuan Army several times in the previous battle, their own casualties were not small, and the artillery in Xi'an City was even more serious. Even if the 105mm light howitzers were protected by the turret, they could not withstand the repeated artillery attacks of the Western Sichuan Army! By now, one-third of the cannons on the top of Xi'an city have been lost. If the battle continues, it may not take long before all the cannons in Xi'an will be damaged. The Western Sichuan Army's tactic of siege but not fighting just coincides with the requirements of the Xi'an defenders. Anyway, for them, as long as they defend Xi'an and persist until the reinforcements arrive, it will be a great achievement!

The Western Sichuan Army also made considerable progress on the other two fronts. On the Eastern Front, more than 100,000 troops led by the Chief of Staff were now approaching Wuhan. The Governor of Huguang Zhang Zhidong was leading more than 100,000 new troops in Zhili, Hubei, and made the final resistance with the strong city. The two sides once launched a fierce artillery battle, and the battle was very fierce.

The progress of the southern line was even greater. The moment before the western Sichuan army approached Kunming, Wang Wenshao led tens of thousands of defeated generals to retreat from Kunming and fled eastward to Guangdong and Guangxi. The western Sichuan army had sent troops to capture all parts of Yunnan and was preparing to see if it could attack Guangxi. If Guangxi was taken, western Sichuan would seize the sea outlet that he had always dreamed of. For the sea outlet, western Sichuan had long been eager for the sea outlet. If the sea outlet could be obtained, western Sichuan would be the one from the west.

Foreign trade will no longer be threatened by the Qing court. At the same time, western Sichuan will also develop its own navy, rather than an inland fleet with only tricky frigates and gunboats. Wang Xiao has sent a lot of talents to the West to learn about the navy in the past few years. When the military port and warships are built, they will be able to return to China to serve. However, taking Guangxi will inevitably lead to conflicts with the French. How to deal with this issue depends on the next development of the situation.

On July 3, it was the fifth day of departure from Xi'an. Wang Yuze led his army to cross the grassland along the Gobi Desert and arrived in Zhangjiakou. However, in order not to attract the attention of the Qing court, the army was always in the wild. Even the herdsmen he met were temporarily detained in order not to leak the news.

"Young Master, Zhangjiakou is ahead. After passing Zhangjiakou, passing Xuanhua, Huailai and Changping, you can reach the capital directly. However, this area is densely populated, and it may be more difficult for us to hide our whereabouts!" Wang Wei said beside Wang Yuze. Wang Wei trained under Cai Yun for a while and now he seems more mature.

"It doesn't matter, the capital in Zhangjiakou is less than 400 miles. We will be able to arrive at the capital the morning after tomorrow. At this time, the Qing Dynasty could not mobilize its troops at all. Besides, they had no troops to adjust! Order the troops to rest for an hour and continue to set off, and camp after passing Zhangjiakou!" Wang Yuze ordered.

After several consecutive days of rushing, even riding a horse made the soldiers very tired. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, Wang Yuze did not intend to march in the last two days, which could be regarded as allowing the soldiers to preserve enough physical strength.

On July 4, Wang Yuze led his army through Xuanhua. The defenders of Xuanhua discovered Wang Yuze's army and were shocked. On the one hand, they closed the city gates tightly, and on the other hand, they immediately reported to the capital. Fortunately, Wang Yuze led his army only to pass Xuanhua and did not attack the city, which made Xuanhua's defenders relieved. Seeing the large number of cavalry passing outside Xuanhua City, they were shocked and numb. When they saw that the direction of the cavalry of the Western Sichuan Army was the capital, they turned pale.

As the center of the Qing Dynasty, the capital was still very prosperous, with crowds of people and no impact from the war. However, at noon on July 4, with the emergency telegram sent by Xuanhua, the entire capital was in full swing. The army stationed outside the city drove into the city. All the seven outer gates of the capital were closed and were not allowed to enter and exit. At the same time, rumors were spreading rapidly among the people, saying that if the front-line army was defeated, the western Sichuan army would come to kill, which made the civilians who were fighting all day long. If the city gate had not been closed, maybe the ordinary people who had children and had a mouth were running away long ago.

This is true among the people, and even more so in the court. After receiving an emergency telegram from the Xuanhua defenders, the people from the Telegraph Bureau broke into the Golden Palace regardless of the court meeting at this moment. Suddenly, the court and the people were shocked, and all the ministers were panicked. Originally, they thought that although the battle situation on the front line was in ruins, they were still thousands of miles away from the capital! Unexpectedly, the Sichuan Army was already close to us!
