"Father, Ding Kui must be severely punished to avenge Yu Qian!"

He and Yu Qian are of the same age, the two are young, have been friends for many years, and Yu Qian, who was promoted after he joined the military command department, Yu Qian went to Ding Kui to pick thorns according to his wishes.

"Ding Kui killed the envoy without permission, won't the Commander's Mansion deal with it? Why did you come to me to avenge Yu Qian?" Shaodian was very puzzled, he hated Ding Kui because of rumors recently.

"That Jiang Xi openly shielded Ding Kui and put the charge of killing Yu Qian and the other three on a personal soldier named Wei Tong, saying that Wei Tong was a spy sent by the traitorous king, and killed Yu Qian and others in order to sow discord. Shaodian Ji was resentful.

Jiang Xi invited officials from the state government to openly try the case of Wei Tong's assassination of the envoy, bypassing the Military Command Department to deal with Wei Tong, and skillfully dissociating Ding Kui from the relationship, which can be regarded as a counterattack by the staff boss against the military command boss.

The matter is that Shaodian Ji offended Jiang Xi first, a big man who just entered the Commander's Mansion challenged the authority of another senior boss, and as a result, he suffered a dumb loss, this is what other bigwigs are willing to see, and no one in the Commander's Mansion speaks for Shaodianji.

"Did Shaodian Zhang also protect Ding Kui?"

Shaodian had different feelings about the two governments and two courts, the clan mansion and the government affairs yuan were more obedient, but the commander's mansion and the senate were against him everywhere, and the root cause was that many great families were dissatisfied with his governance.

"Don't you understand? The actual power of the army is not in the hands of the commander-in-chief, and his words must be listened to by the people below. Father, we must master the military power!"

"The military power of the kingdom has always been held by the Wuxun family, and the royal family controls the military by controlling the Ding family, but this model was broken by the previous king, causing the Wuxun family to increase the penetration of the military, so as to control more military power.

Now there is a great resistance to controlling the military power, and those martial families will fight with us shirtless, except for the 9th and 10th legions that directly obey the orders of the royal family, no legion will listen to us. "When I was young, I gradually became familiar with government affairs.

There is a fact that he is unwilling to admit, as long as he regains control of the Ding family, he can regain most of the military power, but the premise is to curry favor with Ding Kui and make Ding Kui willing to serve the royal family. Shaodian Dan has been doing this in the later part of his reign, and the effect is not bad, just marrying a princess can ensure the rule of a generation of kings.

The world is difficult to fulfill people's wishes, two kings were changed two years after Shaodian Dan's death, Shaodian Luan changed from a guarantee to a threat, and Shaodian Dan Quanquan will definitely be angry and cheat the corpse.

"Yang Feng is a capable and knowledgeable person, who can be of great use. Shaodian made a suggestion.

"Did he find you?"

Shaodianji's face was slightly red, and he explained: "His disciple has approached Erchen and hinted that he is willing to be loyal to you. ”

"Isn't he from the Zi family?" Shaodian had some scruples in his heart.

"The Zi family has no influence in the military, and people like Yang Feng with outstanding military talents can't get help from the Zi family, but we are different, we can give Yang Feng what he needs. Shaodian Ji spared no effort to help Yangfeng lobby.

"What do you want to give?" said Prince Regent.

"Erchen believes that Yang Feng has the ability to lead the Wangzhou Theater of Operations, and under his command he can expel the rebels, and even counterattack the four western states. ”

This is the condition proposed by Yang Feng, which can just meet the ambition of Shaodian's father and son.

In addition to the ninth and tenth legions, the other four legions were also the main force of the Shaodian army, close to one-third of the total strength controlled by the imperial court.

Excluding the border troops stationed in Shanwon Prefecture, Hexi Prefecture and Yangyuan Prefecture, it was the largest regular armed force in the Shaodian Kingdom.

The Prince Regent can appoint a war zone commander, and of course he can remove him at any time, but at the risk of offending several commanders.

"This can be considered, but if he wants to show a brilliant record, it is best to silence everyone in the Commander's Palace. "Shaodian did not refuse.

"Erchen Dai Yangfeng, thank you father, what about Yu Qian?" Shaodian Ji did not forget Ding Kui.

"He's in trouble now, he just took off the throne of Shaodian Feng and wants to move his horse again, isn't it in response to the rumors?

Besides, he holds military power, his territory is far away from the control of the imperial court, and he secretly colludes with Meng State, which is no longer so easy to deal with.

You hurriedly sent an order to Jiang Xi to drop Ding Kui's troops and go to Zhongwangzhou, and ordered him to capture Dingguo County, proving that he had no connection with the rebels. ”

The rumors of the capital made Shaodian quite a headache, and now it is more and more mysterious, and some people even say that Shaodian succeeded the Shaodian who was born to Concubine Nangong, and he replaced the Shaodian seal in order to protect his grandson's ascendancy, and the branch of the Shaodian clan to which he belonged wanted to control the throne.

The most hateful thing is that the rumors can't be stopped at all, not only among the people, but also among the courtiers, this is still in the capital, I believe that other places are also spreading, and it is even more uncontrollable.

After Yu Qian was killed, Ding Kui suppressed the military order, not mentioning this matter, Jiang Xi only saw the body of the proclaimer, and deliberately ignored the military order, the 74th and 75th divisions still stayed in the border camp.

"Okay, Erchen will go and give the order immediately. "Shaodian has learned well this time, and sent the military order document to the commander of the war zone, and no longer sent people to announce the order.

......

The base camp of the 20th Army Corps was in the northern suburbs of Dongxing County, and except for two divisions monitoring the defense line of Turbid Water Town, the rest of the divisions rested here.

Legion Commander Yi Sheng finally found the laid-back feeling he had before.

In two years will be the twentieth anniversary of his coming to Nannuma Prefecture, from deputy commander to commander, his peak years were spent in the twentieth legion, and he has been guarding the southern frontier of the kingdom for so many years, he is a legend in the military.

"Report!"

Yi Sheng, who was recuperating, moved his eyelids and said, "Come in and say." ”

Tie Qibin walked in and reported: "All the recruits have been replenished, and the regiment has returned to full strength." ”

"Okay, you make a training plan, and train those recruits well for the next six months. Yi Sheng's eyes didn't even open.

"Yes!" Tie Qibin stood still.

Yi Sheng heard Tie Qibin's breathing getting heavier, but he didn't mean to leave, so he opened his eyes, looked at the staff officer who was evasive, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone wants to see you. ”

"Who? want to see me, and I want you to report!" Yi Sheng was very unhappy.

Tie Qibin said bitterly: "Ding Kui and Ao Yu. ”

Yi Sheng was shocked, although he was stationed on the frontier, but the major affairs of the court could not hide from him, he had heard a little about Ding Kui in the court and the court, and it would definitely be no good to come to the door at this time.

He walked to the door and rushed out: "Since the person has arrived, please show up." ”

Judging from Tie Qibin's expression, Ding Kui and Ao Yu would not take the normal way to meet each other, and the two master-level masters sneaked into his camp without much effort, and they should have taken Tie Qibin hostage and brought them here.

"Hehe, the last general will see Commander Yi. Ding Kui and Ao Yu jumped off the roof.

"General Ding has helped my legion a lot, and the twentieth legion welcomes you at any time, why are you so sneaky?" Yi Sheng waved his hand to signal Tie Qibin to leave and kept quiet.

"I am visiting you in a private capacity this time, and I want to talk about something that is not suitable for publication, but it is abrupt. Ding Kui and Ao Yu followed Yi Sheng into the room.

The three of them sat down as guests, and Yi Sheng frowned and asked, "You don't have a personal relationship with me, can you talk about things that are not suitable for publication?"

His attitude is very clear, and he is unwilling to have a relationship with Ding Kui.

"Then I'll say it directly, who do you think is the orthodoxy of the Shaodian Kingdom?" Ding Kui didn't go around in circles.

"This. Yi Sheng couldn't answer, or he didn't dare to say anything about it.

"You don't have to tell me, but I hope you don't tell anyone either. ”

Ding Kui's meaning said: You can not stand on my side, but you can't stand on someone else's side.

Yi Sheng understood, and said, "But my personal opinion does not represent the Twentieth Legion. ”

"You may not be able to lead the Twentieth Legion to rebel, but you can definitely suppress the voices of dissidents, and I won't speak without certainty. Ding Kui's tone was not so polite.

"What if I refuse?" Yi Sheng's back of his hand showed green tendons.

Ding Kui said calmly: "I am used to eliminating uncontrollable factors first, and I believe I have this ability." ”

Threat! Undisguised threat!

Yi Sheng couldn't deny that the other party was enough to threaten his life, especially if someone came to secretly, and letting Tie Qibin report it was just that the two sides didn't tear their faces, and they just saved him some face.

"My identity and position are given by the Kingdom, and I must not betray the Kingdom, even if I lose my life. "He has the air of a soldier.

Ding Kui was not surprised, nodded, and said, "The duty given to you by the kingdom is to guard the defense line and the southern border of Muddy Water Town, and this is the only task before you retire. ”

This is a promise, if Ding Kui wins, Yi Sheng will not have to do anything to maintain the status quo, if Ding Kui fails, Yi Sheng will have to bear some responsibility, but the crime will not lead to death.

"This isn't a betrayal of the kingdom, is it?" Ding Kui didn't persuade Yi Sheng to join his camp.

He knew he couldn't give others enough confidence right now.

"Okay!" Yi Sheng gritted his teeth and spit out the word, he didn't have many options, whoever called him was by Ding Kui's side.

"Well, when are you going to take over the border camp?" Ding Kui didn't let Yi Sheng come up with a guarantee, for someone with less than sixth-level combat power, he was a killing god.

"Tomorrow I will let the 195th and 196th divisions go south. Yi Sheng was not ambiguous.

This in itself was in line with the military order of the Commander's Office, the 74th and 75th divisions were to be transferred to Zhongwangzhou, and the border battalion needed to be taken over by the 20th Army Corps.

After the two left, Ao Yu asked, "Is this the end?"

"Well, Yi Sheng is a responsible person, just the border and Muddy Water Town will contain half of his troops, and he doesn't have much strength if he wants to use his brain, and he won't ruin his promise in front of me if he has a little brain. Ding Kui is confident.

"Where are you going to pick up treasures next?" Ao Yu never forgot about Ao Yan.

"You can be busy next, and you will have treasures after you are done. Ding Kui was helpless.

In mid-May, the 1st Army Corps of the Annexation Army received the order of the commander of the theater to evacuate Daling County and assemble at the base camp of the theater; on the same day, Jiang Xi ordered the 74th and 75th divisions to assemble at the base camp together, but did not carry out the order from the military command department.
