The soldiers of the two armies were tense on the Sichuan-Yunnan border, and the atmosphere was even tense so much that no good people were willing to stay within a radius of 100 miles. Despite this, both sides have been restrained so far. After all, neither Yan Guang nor Cai E had planned to perform the full martial arts.

In a command post in the Yunnan Army's position, Cai E was observing a team of Sichuan Army patrolling by. "Sure enough, just like what Tang Jiyao said, the Sichuan Army is indeed well-equipped..."

Just as Cai E was still sighing at the equipment of the Sichuan Army, the Chief of Staff Luo Peijin, who was standing beside him, said with a smile. "Governor, the Sichuan Army's excellent equipment is indeed true, but did not Tang Ligeng also say that the Sichuan Army's training is very poor, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as our army in terms of individual soldiers..."

Hearing Ropekin say this, Cai E nodded first, then shook his head. "Soldiers can be trained, but equipment cannot be transformed out of thin air. At present, the Sichuan and Yunnan armies have gaps. As long as Yan Guang put some hard work, it will be difficult for the Sichuan army to train a group of elite troops in the future." As Cai E said that, he raised the telescope again. "And didn't Tang Tang Jiyao say that? The Sichuan army has two weapons, one is a mortar and the other is a grenade. I can guess what the grenade is, but if it is a mortar..." It's no wonder Cai E would say this. After all, a grenade is not a very new weapon, but a mortar?

Luo Peijin also nodded and sighed. "Yes, that boy Tang Ligen has indeed found us an opponent for nothing."

In fact, before the Guizhou incident, the senior executives of the Yunnan Army, especially Cai E, still had a good impression of the Sichuan Army. After all, Yan Guang was the first warlord to issue a pioneering and good governance such as exemption of the land tax. This is one of the reasons why Cai E did not agree to intervene in the Sichuan dispute when the Shu army sought help.

However, later Tang Jiyao exchanged fire with Yangshan in Guiyang, and the war of words between Sichuan and Yunnan some time ago caused the Yunnan Army to experience a lot of senses towards the Sichuan Army. If converted to the reputation system, it has basically reduced from a friendly level to apathy, and there is a trend of developing towards hostility...

Just as Ropekin sighed there, Cai E shook his head and said, "Since Yan Guang took the initiative to intervene in the civil strife in Guizhou, he may not have no ambitions for Yunnan. Sooner or later, it's just that Tang Jiyaoran's incident was ahead of schedule..."

Luo Peijin nodded in agreement, and then looked towards Guizhou. "I don't know how Tang Ligeng is doing. Judging from the telegram I received some time ago, the situation in their place is not very good."

"It's hard to say, but for me, it's enough to bring most of the officers and soldiers back safely." At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Cai E's face. "As for himself, he has his own military law to deal with it!"

Looking at the expression on Cai E's face, Luo Peijin could only let Tang Jiyao ask for more blessings in his heart. However, he didn't think that Tang Jiyao was innocent. After all, entering Guizhou without permission and clashing with the Sichuan Army without authorization were all conclusive evidence. Even if Tang Jiyao was shot to death, it would not be serious.

However, just as Ropekin was paying silence for Tang Jiyao in his heart, an officer suddenly walked over with anxiety.

"Governor!"

Looking at the look on the officer's face, Cai E felt a little bad premonition in his heart. "What's the matter?"

Looking at Cai E's expression, the officer gritted his teeth. "The news just came, Guiyang was lost, our army retreated, Chief Tang... committed suicide..."

"What!" After hearing what the officer said, Cai E suddenly felt dizzy, but at this time the officer continued to finish the knife at Cai E's chest. "Chief of Staff Jiang Chao said in the telegram that our army now has only more than 2,000 people left, and the remnants of the Guizhou-Jiang Army, who are joining Liu Xianshi and others, are retreating towards the Guizhou-Yunnan border..."

Hearing the officer's final blow, not to mention that Cai E was in poor health, even Luo Peijin wanted to sit on the ground. However, after barely supporting him, Luo Peijin still said to Cai E. "Governor, what should we do now..."

At this time, the Yunnan Army officers around were also in an uproar. Some said they wanted to fight to the death with the Sichuan Army opposite, some said they wanted to think twice before acting, and some wanted to see what else was on the telegram in the officer's hands.

Just when there was chaos in the Yunnan Army Command, Cai E stood up tremblingly with the help of his adjutant. "Send a report to Kunming and ask the left-behind to pick up the retreating remnants..."

"yes!"

"Also, I ordered the entire army to be on guard, and the Sichuan army on the other side must not be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity..."

"clear!"

But just as the officers were about to go down to convey the order, an officer suddenly ran over on the front line. "Governor, the Sichuan Army in front seemed to have begun to retreat."

Before Cai E could speak loudly, Luo Peijin on the side said with a wry smile. "It seems that they have received a telegram from Guiyang. Now that the purpose is achieved, they naturally have no reason to continue confronting us..." As he said this, Luo Peijin's words inevitably felt relaxed. After all, it was their Yunnan army who was at a disadvantage now.

Just like what Luo Peijin said, after receiving the telegram from Yangshan, Yan Guang ordered the 3rd Division to start retreating, and the 4th Division would continue to stay here to be responsible for the security mission. After all, Guiyang has been occupied, and the Yunnan Army in Guizhou has also begun to retreat. There is no need for the Sichuan Army to continue confronting the Yunnan Army.

Of course, Yan Guang has gained other things besides Guizhou, for example, successfully reducing his relationship with Cai E from being cold to being hostile...

"Pinqing, has Guizhou been occupied by that young man surnamed Yan?" In the garden, Yuan Shikai sat casually on a stone chair and said to Wang Shizhen.

Although Yuan Shikai was intimate, Wang Shizhen did not dare to sit beside him, so he just stood up and replied. "That's true. Tang Jiyao, who was commanding the army, has committed suicide, and the Dian army has also been defeated and withdrawn from Guizhou."

"Is that true..." Yuan Shikai nodded. "The land of the two provinces..." There was inevitably some envy in his words.

Looking at Yuan Shikai's appearance, Wang Shizhen smiled and said, "When Gong Bao becomes president, all of China belongs to Gong Bao. Why should Gong Bao envy a young boy who is only in his 20s..."

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly. "How old is that young boy this year..."

"This is not very clear, but it seems to be only 22 or 3 years old..."

"22, 3..." murmured, Yuan Shikai waved his hand. "Pinqing, let me be quiet here first..."

After Wang Shizhen left, Yuan Shikai looked up at the sun in the sky. "Are you envious? Maybe, but what I envy is his youth..." There has always been a saying, that is, the male of the Yuan family cannot live beyond 60 years old, and Yuan Shikai's father and grandfather are like this, and now he is over 50 years old...

"I really want to be an emperor..." Looking at the sun in the sky, Yuan Shikai's face seemed to be rosy...
