"What way?" Ding Kui looked at Kong Ren vigilantly, undisguised his distrustful attitude.

Kong Ren didn't mind, smiled and said: "You don't trust the Kong family or a certain family, you can find a few more families, the Jiang family has Anguo County, the Long family has Weiguo County, and even the Xun family has Liguo County, I believe there must be a lot of talents in these places."

Of course, there are also other places, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, it's just a few city lords and county guards, as long as you relax the restrictions, you can definitely make up enough, and there are a lot of capable people in Shaodian Kingdom who know you Ding Kui. ”

"That's right!" Ding Kui stood up abruptly, and a word woke up the dreamer.

"I didn't know that I was on the tip of the horns before, uniting and balancing all friendly forces, why didn't I think of it?" he understood what Kong Ren meant.

Different statuses consider different issues, when he was still a lord and a faction, he just had to concentrate on how to manage his own territory; now it is different, he has become a representative of a certain camp, he cannot just guard his own one-third of an acre of land, he must learn to share and share, how to give benefits to others is a major issue.

"Alas, I'm going to be scolded when I go home. Kong Ren deliberately cried with a sad face.

The Kong family doesn't need to be a representative, they can earn as much profit as they can, and they can eat alone regardless of others.

"Hehe, the Kong family has taken a lot of advantage, I'm not stupid, if you don't remind me, someone will remind me, the Jiang family and the Long family won't watch you take advantage of you in vain. ”

Ding Kui is just not used to the change of status, and after thinking clearly, he can see it more thoroughly, and it is difficult to fool him.

"What kind of head do you have? Are you a soldier or a politician? If I hadn't been following you all these days, I would have thought that many ideas were made by the staff, and you would have made sober and correct decisions, both militarily and domestically. Kong Ren deepened his understanding of Ding Kui.

"Hehe, if it weren't for my young age, none of you would have been my opponents. Ding Kui was proud.

"Now that there is no one in that batch of players who is your opponent, don't talk about these boring things, now you can consider taking Yanling County, if it drags on, there may be reinforcements from the local army, and it will not be so easy to fight again. Kong Ren hopes to continue to expand the territory.

Ding Kui shook his head and said, "No, the people's will is not stable enough, and it will take time for officials to adjust the people's will, so let's digest the newly occupied places first."

The terrain of Yanling County is complex, the local officials have combat experience, and there is a naval army to support the Tongyuan River, so it is not suitable to go north along the river before solving the problem of Huasong.

How many local armies can Shao Dianxi organize? Zhushan County can threaten the state city, how many troops does he dare to send to help defend Yanling County? If he sends too much, I dare to directly attack the state city. ”

"Okay, it's okay to take it slowly, don't push the court and Shao Dianxi too hard, in case they concentrate on dealing with you, it won't be good. Kong Ren did not insist on his opinion.

The prison country has a new will, this time it is to inform Nannuma Prefecture that Cui Dun, the city lord of Shapu, will be the commander of Dongxing County, and the commander of the city defense army will temporarily act as the city lord.

As soon as the news came out, Yi Sheng was even happier than Cui Dun, there was someone in Dongxing County in charge, and he was an official who was good at engaging in the economy, the military salary of the 20th Army Corps had been settled, and the morale of the army could be stabilized.

Dongxing County guards the main route in and out of the swamp, at least there are resources of Warcraft and local products of the swamp, Cui Dun has room to play, and it should make Dongxing County richer.

In contrast, the order of the deputy commander of the Military Command Department was much more low-key, and the transfer order of the Eighth Army Corps was directly handed over to Jiang Zhi, and he did not even send a copy to the Zhongwangzhou Theater, but Jiang Li knew it in his heart, and he didn't care which theater the Eighth Army ran to.

Jiang Li was more interested in another piece of news from Ding Kui, who asked the major families to provide recommendations to reserve officials at the level of city lord or above for Nanmara Prefecture.

It is said that it is a reserve in fact, it is used to replace the existing magistrate, and the great family who received the request knew it clearly, and hurriedly selected the right person in the family and sent it to Huashan County as soon as possible, the sooner the person arrived, the easier it was to get the position.

Now that Ding Kui's control area has been connected to Zhongwangzhou, those who come to Ding Kui can go unimpeded, depending on whose horse runs faster.

Pingfu County and Nanping County took the initiative to take refuge, and the magistrates and local armed systems did not need to be adjusted, and Ding Kui allowed these two counties to be autonomous.

Dongxing County is the base camp of the 20th Army Corps, the local armed system is in the hands of Yi Sheng, the magistrate has the newly appointed Cui Dun adjusted, and Ding Kui arranged for Liu Yu to coordinate on his behalf, basically keeping Dongxing County in a semi-autonomous state.

Daling County has the strength of the 20th Army Corps, and Ding Kui can only temporarily declare the county into military control, waiting for a suitable county guard to govern.

The situation in Chongxi County was slightly better, with the former county guards as puppets, and the troops of the Eighth Army continued to arrive, this place at least could not afford to make big waves, and could barely maintain local development.

The situation of Tunchang County and Huashan County is the best, just on the edge of Nanqiu County, the small imperial court organized by the prison state can control these two counties, and if there is Fei, it will sit in Tunchang County, and Ding Kui will sit in Huashan County, and the officials below will not dare to rebel if they have the intention to rebel.

The situation in Zhushan County is the most embarrassing, the county guard has the heart to rely on Nanjing City, but there is a war zone battalion in which Jiang Xi is sitting on the side, and all the weapons in the county can be disarmed at any time.

Shao Dianxi was anxious and angry when he learned that nine counties in his jurisdiction had fallen into the hands of Ding Kui, but tens of thousands of local troops had just been formed and were taken to the ditch by Wei Shiwen, and less than 10,000 people fled back to Nanjing City, and they couldn't find the military strength to resist Ding Kui for a while.

Fortunately, Ding Kui stopped his expansion and did not continue to occupy other counties, so Shao Dianxi had a chance to breathe.

"Nearly half of the state has fallen into the hands of Ding Kui, how can this be good?" Shao Dianxi summoned the military generals in the state to discuss countermeasures.

Lou Xiao, Minister of the Prefecture Ministry of People's Livelihood, said: "The situation is critical, and the court should be asked to send a large army to suppress the Ding thief." ”

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the imperial court wants to deal with the traitor Shaodian Yong, I'm afraid that it won't be able to draw troops to Nannuma Prefecture, so I think that we must organize troops to protect ourselves, at least to ensure the safety of Nanjing City. Wei Shiwen is more accurate in judging the situation.

These two are representatives of the internal affairs and the military of Nannuma Prefecture, and they dare not talk casually to others.

"There is no conflict between the imperial court and the formation of a local army, the two things can be carried out together, I asked if there is a way to arrest Ding Kui!" Shao Dianxi was not satisfied with the answers of the two subordinates.

Lou Xiao peeked at Wei Shiwen, and the requirements of the state pastor were not under the control of the Ministry of People's Livelihood.

Wei Shiwen stubbornly said: "Lord Hui, Ding Kui is the master knight, and there are great martial artists, great archers and forbidden magicians under his command, and the Magic Guild has declared neutrality, and Nanmarsh Prefecture has no power to capture him." ”

"Then what should I do? Let me watch him do whatever he wants? Let him run rampant through the state? Or will he wait for him to bring someone to Nanjing City and arrest me?" Shao Dianxi shook his fists angrily.

He knew the actual situation, but he couldn't hold his face, and there was no way for the dignified state pastor to take a city lord, which was a great shame.

Lou Xiao understood the truth of cold lips and teeth, and now was a critical moment, and he wanted to unite to deal with Ding Kui, so he proposed: "My lord, now we must gather all the forces in the state, including the power of the nobles.

The Magic Guild refuses to help and the Knight Guild, and the head of the Southern Cavalry Branch is also the dominant knight, so the Lord can issue an order to let all the people of the Knight Guild in the whole state gather in Nanjing City, and ensure the safety of the state city first.

There is no shortage of master-level masters in the nobles of Nannuma Prefecture, if they can be concentrated, they can completely compete with Ding Kui's subordinates, and they don't have to be subject to Ding Kui's high-end combat power, even if they can't catch Ding Kui, he will not be allowed to offend Nanjing City. ”

"That makes sense!" Shao Dianxi's eyes lit up, "This matter will be left to you, and you can represent me with full authority to contact the Nanqi branch and all the nobles in the state." ”

He treats dead horses as live horse doctors, and he adopts a plan that sounds reasonable.

"Yes! Humble duties require the handwriting of adults. "Lou Xiao is not humble, and the power of the plenipotentiary representative of the state pastor is very large, and this kind of opportunity is rare.

Wei Shiwen gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the top priority is not to capture Ding Kui, but to build up a force to fight against him! At present, there are the Eighth Legion, the New Twelfth Legion, and the Twentieth Army at the disposal of Ding Kui, and here are the 300,000 regular army, as well as the most elite legion in the kingdom, what should we fight against?"

In order to concentrate all the armed forces in the prefecture for the present time, we can order all counties to send city defense troops to support Nanjing City, and make every effort to recruit new soldiers to form local legions, and even order each county to form militias and replace the city defense army with militia, so that hundreds of thousands of city defense troops can be quickly summoned to Nanjing City. ”

It's going to be desperate!

On average, there are 2,000 city defense troops in each city, 40,000 in one county, and 400,000 in ten counties. If the power is given to the county guards to form a militia and use the militia to maintain local security, then the city of Nanjing can indeed gather hundreds of thousands of city defense troops in a short period of time.

Shao Dianxi understands this account, but he can't give such an order unless he has to, who can guarantee that there will be no rebellion in the locality? Who can guarantee that Meng and Cao will not fight? All the city defense troops will be transferred to the state city, and Nannuma Prefecture will fall into a state of extreme weakness.

"Okay!" he fused, "Except for the counties along the Tongyuan River, other counties have organized their own militias to maintain security, and all the city defense troops have been transferred to Nanjing City!"

Ding Kui's threat is too great, bigger than the local Xiaoxiao and Meng and Cao countries, if he doesn't fight, maybe Ding Kui will fight under Nanjing the next day, and his life will not be saved at that time, let alone Nannuma Prefecture.

"Yes!" Wei Shiwen breathed. He is the only person who has directly faced Ding Kui's power, and he knows Ding Kui's power very well, and if he doesn't do this, he can't stop Ding Kui's expansion at all.

"Wait, gather so many soldiers and horses at once, who will command?" Shao Dianxi was very cautious. He didn't allow these soldiers and horses to fall into the hands of people he didn't trust, otherwise he might become a second Ding Kui, and then Nannuma Prefecture would be even more finished.

"Humble ......" Wei Shiwen was interrupted by Shao Dianxi before he finished speaking.

"No! You are not Ding Kui's opponent, you have to choose someone else to command!"
