After Chen Zhenfan made a clear neutral position, Zhang Peijue knew that he could no longer count on the 4,000 Hubei army in Zizhou.

"So, now we can only rely on ourselves, do you understand?" This is what Zhang Peijue said to Wang Tianjie and Zhang Dasan and others.

Fortunately, although the people were a little resistant, the deployment of fortifications in various places was very smooth, otherwise there would be no need to fight.

Then…

In Chongqing, almost everyone's faces looked very heavy. Because of this reason, even the atmosphere in the governor's office seemed quite heavy.

There is only one reason why the atmosphere becomes so heavy, and today is the time for a formal showdown.

In fact, both Pu Dianjun and Yan Guang, who was far away in Chengdu, knew that Zhang Peijue did not have the sincerity to negotiate, but just wanted to take advantage of the negotiation opportunity to arrange the necessary fortifications. Unfortunately, although they knew this very well, because they were both revolutionary troops, if they started the war without reason, they would always be together...

but…

"At least after today, we won't have to do these hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric..." Looking at the expressions on the faces of the personnel in the Governor's Office, Pu Dianjun smiled at the entourage beside him.

Although he already knew that the only answer he would get today was rejection, to be honest, he still had to stay here even though he knew there would be no result. He was a little tired of this kind of thing.

"That's right, no matter what, we are sure to win..." Ignoring the expressions of the Shu army personnel beside him, the follower also said with a relaxed look on his face.

This is why the people in the Shu Army Governor's Office looked heavy, because the Sichuan military government now has an absolute advantage, and no matter how you look at it...

They will never have hope of achieving a miracle!

"So, Governor Zhang, what is your answer?" Since you already knew the other party's answer, Pu Dianjun naturally would not be as polite as when he first came.

"Our answer is, refuse." It seemed that there was no discomfort with Pu Dianjun's change in attitude, and Zhang Peijue's face was still a smile.

After receiving the answer, Pu Dianjun turned his head to his entourage and said, "Please."

Understand what Pu Dianjun means, the entourage led a few people and quickly left the Governor's Office, then rode a horse and ran towards Chengdu.

"Then, Governor Zhang, I hope we will be destined to see each other again in the future!"

"Bye now…"

——————————

A day later, after receiving a reply from the entourage sent by Pu Dianjun, the second and third divisions, ready to go, heading towards Chongqing. At this time, Pu Dianjun's convoy had just walked halfway.

"Minister, the next journey will be much easier!" When Pu Dianjun's convoy arrived in Daning County, a cement-paved road appeared in front of them, and when Pu Dianjun's carriage drove up, the body of the car became much smoother.

"No matter how many times I have seen it, I think it is a shocking road..." Pu Dianjun opened the window of the carriage and looked at the flat road under the wheels and said to the follower beside him.

"yes…"

Just at this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front of the convoy, especially the sound of horse hooves when they stepped on the concrete road, which made people feel even more wonderful.

"Minister, it is the commander's cavalry!" The driver's voice came into the carriage.

"I saw it too." Pu Dianjun, who looked out from the car window, looked at the more than a thousand cavalry coming from a distance and replied loudly.

On the cement road that was only a few meters wide, more than a thousand cavalry lined up into a long long dragon, forcing pedestrians, who were already very sparse, to jump off the road and give way to them.

Just at this time, it seemed that I had noticed Pu Dianjun's convoy, and soon dozens of fast horses were separated from the cavalry that lined up in a long queue and ran to the convoy.

"Is it Minister Pu's convoy?" After stopping in front of the convoy, a leading cavalryman asked loudly.

"That's right."

"In the lower house, Hu Ke, currently the commander of the Cavalry Regiment of the Third Division, the governor had already ordered before the departure that if he encountered Minister Pu's convoy on the road, he would send Minister Pu back to Chengdu safely..." Hu Ke said to an officer beside him. "Chen Yuguo, you should take people to send Minister Pu to the governor first!"

"Yes!" Chen Yuguo beside Hu Ke responded.

"What? Is the governor here too?"

"That's right, the Second Division and the Third Division were led by the Governor this time!" Hu Ke quickly replied. Although he was the colonel leader of the Cavalry Regiment, and according to the official title of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Dianjun, the Minister of the Internal Affairs Department, was from the First-rank Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"That's how..."

Thinking about the significance of this war is indeed different, it is natural for Yan Guang to lead the troops himself, so Pu Dianjun felt relieved.

but…

"Will our governor lead the army to fight?" Pu Dianjun said in a confused manner after looking at the followers beside him.

"This..." Several followers in the car also looked at each other. "It should be..."

Yes, Yan Guang didn't know how to fight, but this does not mean that his subordinates would not. Moreover, in order to better grasp the situation, Yan Guang also pulled Sunil and others who were instructors in the military academy to serve as staff officers.

and…

"Looking at this map, I always feel like I'm playing games..." In a four-wheeled carriage exclusive to Yan Guang, looking at a Sichuan map placed in the middle, I don't know why Yan Guang always thought of a game called "Steel Ambition" that he often played in the past.

Of course, the real war is definitely not comparable to the game, but think about the fact that I used the "principal" to annex the Soviet Union in that game, and fought head-on with the bearded head of the Caucasus... (ps: I played 3)

"How is it, are you confident?" Yan Guang said this to Sunil and the others.

"Don't worry, boss, at least from paper, I didn't see that you have the possibility of losing..." Sunil said with a smile.

"Well, I haven't learned military affairs, so I'll ask you guys next." Although I don't know much about military affairs, I have never attended any military academy...

But didn’t the bearded chief of the army not attending a military academy at the beginning? It later swept across Europe!

Although…

The reason why the bearded leader succeeded was entirely because he had a group of elite soldiers and an amazing group of talented generals under his command...

At this moment, a guard suddenly heard the voice from outside the carriage. "Governor, someone in front of him has reported that the people from the cavalry regiment have met Minister Pu and the others."

"Is that so? They are back safely!"
