In front of Ding Kui stood the first captain to report to him, of medium stature, about the same height as Ding Cai, but with a sturdy body and well-developed limbs, like an elongated version of Lu Ji, wearing civilian clothes to look like a thug.

"I didn't throw you to leave the team to Qinglan City first, why are you?"

Sun Yilei on the information matched the person in front of him, and Ding Kui was sure that he was not an impostor.

Sun Yilei peeked at Ding Kui while looking at himself, only to feel that the young man opposite was like a lying lion, with visible explosiveness all over his body, "If you go back to your adult, your subordinates have hidden information about the division to report." Hearing Ding Kui's question, he quickly answered.

"Secrets? Then you can talk about it well, and you must not bite out of nothing. Ding Kui understood, this person was here to make a small report.

"The subordinates don't dare. Here's the thing......"

At present, the division is like a plate of scattered sand, and the ten captains have their own ideas, and there is no way to reach a unified opinion, resulting in the division and regiment on the verge of chaos, unable to condense combat effectiveness, and is at the end of the battle sequence of the Eighth Army Corps, which can only be used to escort grain and grass.

Sun Yilei only became the captain later, and he has always had a lot of opinions about the practices of some captains, especially those who are waiting to retire.

"Today's division is not a division commander who can be twisted into a rope, even if you take over, if you don't get rid of those few corpse vegetarian guys, we can only stay in the baggage camp. ”

Now that he came to see Ding Kui in advance, he spit out the resentment in his heart.

Ding Kui didn't expect the 74th Division to be like this, "Well, I will seriously consider what you say, whoever dares to influence my plan, I will let him be an ordinary soldier, and those who neglect military orders are not qualified to be officers." ”

"My lord, my subordinates don't dare to talk nonsense, I came here in advance this time because I didn't want my subordinates to have internal strife, the internal relationship between the division and the regiment is complicated, and it will affect the whole body. ”

Sun Yilei also has a hard time, the first team is not something he can control, and some people are not involved with several captains.

"Well, it's easy to do!" Ding Kui is not an ordinary division commander, "I can't use the heavy cavalry for the time being, and I can't use it from the Xixuan City side, the first brigade will go to Port City, and it will be under the command of Zhong Wei for the time being, and I will change two infantry battalions that are familiar with the terrain to come over." The horses are left behind, and you go on foot. ”

"Huh, hike to Port City. Sun Yilei was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a task.

"Port City is the front line. Zhang Dingyuan said leisurely.

"Yes, my subordinates are ordered!" Hearing that it was the front line, Sun Yilei no longer hesitated. Regardless of whether you ride a horse or not, when you get to the front line, you will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and it is definitely better to go to the battlefield than to escort grain and grass.

The 1st Brigade of the 74th Division left even its horses behind this time, and set off with only weapons and dry rations, and immediately went to Port City.

"The General Staff only knew about the situation of the 74th Division, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated underneath, and Staff Officer Lin was going to have a headache for a while. Zhang Dingyuan has never heard of what Sun Yilei said, but he doesn't think that Sun Yilei lied, and it is a fact that Jiang Zhi did not dare to use the 74th Division.

"It's just a small illness, they know that when I was the commander of the division, I had not yet been promoted to the rank of Dominant Knight, let alone served as an honorary commander, and it was not difficult to understand that Yin Feng Yang violated the Yin and Yang in their hearts. Now, hehe, I'll cure Kou Yu's habitual bad problems!" Ding Kui's face became colder, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

In the evening, a letter eagle flew to the city of Kada.

"My lord, something is wrong. Zhang Dingyuan hurried to the Chinese military tent.

"Huh?" Ding Kui frowned slightly.

"Staff Officer Lin came to report that due to the unexpected departure of the first brigade from its post, the trip of the baggage troops was delayed, and they could not rush to Kada City tonight. ”

"What? Lin Xuanmo can't make trouble for me, this report must be coerced, hmph, no wonder, those captains joined forces to deal with him, and he couldn't help it. Play tricks with me, and I'll see how good they are. The order was given that the baggage troops should hurry overnight and be sure to arrive at the city of Qatar before midnight, and those who violated the order were punished by the army. Ding Kui spoke angrily.

Plop, the letter eagle released in the afternoon flew back into his hand, and after Lin Xuanmo finished reading it, he immediately summoned the captain to announce Ding Kui's order.

"Staff Officer Lin, it's not that we deliberately disobey Lord Ding's orders, the problem is that those people refuse to leave! You see it's dark now, the people have to rest after eating, and there is no one to pull the cart to carry the burden, how can we get to Kada City? Otherwise, you go and tell the people and tell them that if they don't go on the road, they will be killed by Lord Ding. ”

The first to come out and vent his bitterness was Zhong Jiong, the second captain, who put all the blame on the head of the people.

"Yes, we must obey Lord Ding's orders, or I will lead the team to Kada City first, and I will be there in an hour before midnight. "Xiao Yanding, the third captain, has his own little abacus.

"Okay, you go first and bring the baggage, at least one-ninth! Leave the large army and go by yourself, who wouldn't, although the fifth brigade is infantry, but it can only take more than an hour to reach Kada City at full speed, and the order of the lord is to let the baggage troops arrive. "The fifth captain, Ji Zhubao, is obviously at odds with Xiao Yanding.

"Captain Zhong is right, how can we hurry if we can't call those people? What if we accidentally provoke them and run away? Staff Officer Lin, it's no problem for us to fight, but I can't deal with the people. Fu Dun, the captain of the Eighth Group, even spoke with a threatening tone.

"Staff Officer Lin, the fourth brigade obeys the order, but we can't move if the big army doesn't move, do you want to explain it to your lordship. Xie Luoli reluctantly expressed his position.

Some of the other four captains bowed their heads and were silent, some were looking around, and two were whispering.

"Bring the baggage to the people of Kada and then go home, and tell them to persevere for the last stretch of the road, and to rest in the city than in this wilderness. Lin Xuanmo couldn't command these captains, so he had to tell them in a consultative tone.

Don't look at Ding Kui's order is very scary, but the baggage troops can't arrive on time, and they can't cut off everyone's heads, and a few captains put the responsibility on the people's husband, is it possible to cut off the people's heads?

Zhong Jiong spread his hand and said, "I can tell those people what you say, but they don't dare to guarantee it if they don't listen, I'll do my best." "He is the most cunning one, not directly confronting Ding Kui's orders, and vigorously shirking responsibility and delaying time.

As the clock ticked by, the hope of arriving in Kada City before midnight was getting slimmer. As the saying goes, the law does not hold the people accountable, and Ding Kui's first order cannot be carried out, so there will be an excuse to delay and disobey his military orders in the future.

This time, except for Xie Luoli, who didn't say anything, the other captains all nodded yes.

Anger appeared in Lin Xuanmo's eyes, and he immediately wrote a report with a few strokes, put it in the letterbox of the eagle's feet, released the letter eagle, and then said: "I have made it clear to the adults about the difficulties you said, and the adults will make a decision." If you are to blame, you are responsible for what you have said and done. ”

Fu Dun pointed at Lin Xuanmo and said, "Staff Officer Lin, don't slander us, 30,000 people are in the camp, you have the ability to let them continue to hurry." ”

Xiao Yanding hurriedly stepped forward to hug Fu Dun and pulled his hand down, "Calm down, Staff Officer Lin represents Lord Ding, how can it be possible to slander us, we will go and persuade the people now, we still have to do what we need to do." ”

"Hmph, yes, I'll take responsibility for what I've done. Zhong Jiong shook his hand and left.

The temporary meeting broke up unhappily, and the captains went separately to find the people, and only Xie Luoli stayed.

"Captain Xie, is there anything else?" Lin Xuanmo also planned to find some leaders of the people to persuade him, but he couldn't leave Xie Luo alone.

"Staff Officer Lin, the Fourth Brigade absolutely supports your lordship, but as long as those people see someone not moving, they will definitely not leave. I don't think you should waste your tongue," Xie Luoli pointed to the departing captains, "If one of them doesn't listen to you, the baggage troops won't be able to leave." ”

"Can you help me persuade them?" Lin Xuanmo could see that Xie Luoli was telling the truth.

"Well, I can persuade a few, but it's useless, can't you see it? ”

"What's the benefit of them doing that?"

"The kingdom is in turmoil, I don't dare to speculate on what they think, one thing I can be sure of is that some people are not worthy of being soldiers at all!"

There are some things that Xie Luoli didn't want to say to Lin Xuanmo, he couldn't be sure of Ding Kui's attitude, he still had to mix in the 74th Division in the future, in case he had to go to the battlefield with some people, he didn't want to be stabbed in the back.

"Okay, what needs to be done still has to be done, just give an explanation to the adults. Lin Xuanmo chose to work hard again to carry out Ding Kui's order.

Zhong Jiong, Fu Dun, Xiao Yanding and another captain gathered together, and Xiao Yanding said uneasily: "Isn't it good for us to be like this? Lord Ding will definitely hate us, what should we do if we are given small shoes to wear in the future?"

"What are you afraid of, just put the responsibility on the people, who can Master Ding blame? If you want to blame us for our poor persuasion, then Lin Xuanmo is also responsible, even if it is Ding Kui, a bowl of water will be level. Fu Dun glanced at Xiao Yanding.

"There are still more than 300,000 enemy troops in Nanqiu County, and Lord Ding still needs us, so he won't give us small shoes so quickly. After this battle is over, we will be able to earn some military merits, and we will not be afraid to leave the army at that time, and the Eighth Army Corps will not want us, and the legions on the Western Front will not be wanted? If the rebels are not destroyed, we will have a place to go, and now the military is not up to the Ding family. Zhong Jiong patted Xiao Yanding's shoulder.

"I heard that Ding Kui is very cross, and Tang Guogong's face dares to be beaten, as if we are not playing. Xiao Yanding was uneasy.

"Then you go and persuade the people now, you see that the large army can't go, is it possible that Ding Kui will dare to deal with us as soon as he takes over the division? You must know that the whole army is staring at him, and he dares to mess around? Besides, we are the captain, if he wants to move, we must go through the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief can take care of such a big thing?" The more Fu Dun looked at Xiao Yanding, the more unpleasant he became.
