"Congwen, it is not a good time to enter Sichuan at this time. With the strength of the 15th Route Army, although Tian Songyao's troops have special strength to defeat Deng Xihou in northern Sichuan, the terrain in northern Sichuan is almost certain, and it is not suitable for large troops to launch. If a fight with the Sichuan army starts, the Sichuan army civil war between the two Liu Zhengchuan has just ended, and we may have been in northern Sichuan for a long time again."

It was originally a family dinner, but Jiang Li invited a few people to have a meal. He said three words and never left the business. After a brief chat about Jiang Li’s arrangements for the marriage, the topic returned to military and political affairs. In the entire 15th Army, the one who could call Jiang Li this way was naturally Huang Xiansheng.

"The second Liu Zhengchuan, we were busy dealing with the remnants of the Ma family army, governing the local area, and then going to Shanghai, the Great Wall War, which consumed a lot of energy, and the sacrificial energy was really not available to plot against northern Sichuan. Now the civil war in Sichuan has come to an end in general, and the leaders of the warlords in Sichuan are quite xenophobic. At this time, the idea of ​​fighting northern Sichuan will probably be attacked by Liu Xiang, Deng Xiyao and others. Of course, these are not the most important. The main thing is that although our military expenditure has increased year by year, we still don't use it."

Feng Zhanhai has always stood on Jiang Li's side on major issues, and he also reminded Jiang Li at this time.

"The harvest in the northwest this year is not good, and the drought is severe. The situation in southern Shaanxi, Longnan and northern Sichuan is not much different. Gansu and Ningxia have our 15th Army, and Shaanxi has 17 Army, and there is no big trouble for a while. The crop harvest is generally guaranteed. However, Sichuan has been fighting for more than 20 years and has not had a safe life. Especially in the past five years, the scale of the war has been larger and longer, and the duration has been longer and longer.

In the battle, the Battle of Pihe, the Battle of the Second Liu, the troops of all forces participated in the war, and in order to attack the opponent, Deng Xihou dug up the horse chao on Dujiangyan, and lured the outer river water into the Neijiang River, causing the Neijiang River to suffer from continuous floods. The water shortage of other channels was severe. The water level of the Pihe River increased, blocking Liu's army. Liu Jun used mines to blow the Feishayan. He also leaked the water from Neijiang to other irrelevant channels, so that there was no water where it should be, and there was a lot of water where it should be."

"The people in the war zone have been affected, and taxes in some places have been received a hundred years later. This autumn harvest is limited. The food can be reached until next spring, not to mention the autumn harvest next year. According to some information I have at hand, the number of people in Sichuan's famine next year may be far beyond everyone's imagination. Rather than wanting to occupy some counties and districts in northern Sichuan, it is better to open a channel to introduce disaster victims and provide relief to the victims. In addition, we must use these cheap labor to push the infrastructure in the northwest to a new peak."

Jiang Li put down his chopsticks and said.

"Yes, these turtle slaughter in Sichuan do not take human lives seriously. What we lack in the northwest now is people, which is even less than in the northeast. There is no sight of the yellow sand at a glance. There is no sight of a few residents. If it weren't for the limitations of manpower, the commander wouldn't have to find a way to introduce disaster victims. But although the commander's starting point is good, the Sichuan masters and minds not only do not appreciate it, but also regard the commander as the number one enemy. The commander won the hearts of the people away. What else does Sichuan have to do with them?"

Feng Zhanhai said with regret that Sichuan is a province with a large population, even if it has been war and famine for years. The population of a province is firmly among the top provinces in the country. If Sichuan can obtain human resources, the shortcomings in the northwest will be completely filled.

"The Chief of Staff is right, this matter is not urgent." Tibetan Yi nodded. In contrast, the situation in Xinjiang is not balanced at this time. Li Guofei could not control important towns such as Tacheng and Dihua. It was not a wise decision to have another incident in northern Sichuan at this time.

"It has not been put on the table yet. Before the conditions are ripe, I will try my best to avoid turning against Deng Xihou. Liu Xiang's troops." Jiang Li nodded. It was because he was worried that what Huang Xiansheng and Feng Zhanhai said would become a fact that Jiang Li secretly established a certain grain and ammunition reserve in Qingchuan, and the two counties connected to Pingwu and Longnan were connected. After the Gansu Leima Incident, Deng Xihou's power once entered Longnan. When he used all kinds of warlords in Sichuan to suppress the red forces, it was understandable that he developed the power to northern Sichuan.

"We are still at ease when you do things. If the disaster is really as serious as you said, it is indeed an opportunity. I have a way here, maybe it can be useful." Huang Xiansheng put down his hand holding the wine glass at this time and said.

"What are the opinions of Commander Huang?" Feng Zhanhai also said seriously.

"After our 15th Army entered the northwest, the army expanded again and again. These soldiers were mainly Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and many were Shaanxi, and even Henan. However, there were some Sichuan people, and even some people from northern Sichuan. If you really intend to be northern Sichuan, you can concentrate this group of Sichuan people and send them to northern Sichuan to secretly establish a force. After the power has reached a small scale, you can choose military officers to integrate into it one after another. After some time, you can become an army.

These people are local troops in northern Sichuan, which can also dispel the xenophobia in northern Sichuan. Now Deng Xihou and Liu Xiang are all attentive to the Sichuan-Shaanxi base. We are less active and will not attract too much attention. When Deng Xihou reacts, we will go to the newly established troops, and Ma Zhuang will enter northern Sichuan by taking advantage of the bandit suppression. Deng Xihou, even if Liu Xiang understands it at that time, you can still control the territory of several counties in northern Sichuan, and even more than ten counties, and radiate the power to Sichuan."

"My uncle is worthy of being an official master who has been fighting for two years in the Northeast Military and Political Affairs. I was originally planning to win over a puppet force in northern Sichuan, but puppets are not as safe as my own."

Jiang Li said that the miscellaneous cards under Hong Chengbo’s hands are really not worthy of attention. However, if some officers of the 15th Route Army can be filled with some weapons, they will be equipped with a batch of weapons. Although they are still miscellaneous cards, they have some combat effectiveness and are no longer optional miscellaneous cards. They will train for a while and eliminate some of the soldiers with bad habits and ages. They will constantly fill the Lanzhou Military Academy and the soldiers from the recruit training camp. In less than a year or two, they will be another force that can go to the battlefield. They not only expand their strength, but also infiltrate the power to northern Sichuan.

"The disadvantages are much greater than the commander's investment in winning over puppets, not much easier than rebuilding a force. However, in comparison, there is no need to directly confront Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou's forces for the time being, and it is safer. Borrowing a little from the bank's military expenditure should be solved. However, this year the commander can no longer make any other tricks." Tibetan Yi nodded and agreed.
