Chapter 1053: Defeat after Defeat
"The news from the Senate says that the strength of the Zi family is enough to enter the top ten elders, there are new changes in the Commander's Palace, and Shaodian, the son of the Prince Regent, has succeeded as the commander of the Military Command Department...... "Zibi reported to Zisi the latest movements of the imperial court.
"What?" Zi Si opened his half-closed eyes, "Shaodian has succeeded him as the commander of the Military Command Department!"
According to the military practice, the commander-in-chief of the five departments of the Commander's Office does not allow the Shaodian clan to serve, and basically the top ten families in China send people to take over, and the practice of the Shaodian can be said to have broken the tradition.
"Yes, it is the will of the Prince Regent. ”
"How can this be!" Zisi sat up straight, "Didn't you and the minister of the court oppose it?"
"Ugh. Zibi lowered his head, and he had no idea of objecting.
"Alas!" Zi Si sighed, "The people of the Yang family and the Xuanyuan family are not here, are there no sober-minded people in the court?"
"But there is no objection in the commander's mansion. Zibi tried to defend himself.
"Confused! Jiang, Long, Xun, and Gongsun already occupy a position, how can they oppose it? This kind of thing must be stopped by the Government Council and the Senate!" Zi Si took a deep breath, trying to calm his mood.
"The ten elders of the Senate have gone to the fifth, Jiang Li is recruiting troops in Zhongwangzhou, Bao Ran is sick at home because he is anxious about the safety of his hometown, Kong Ci is concerned about the war in Nannuma Prefecture, Xun Ruo and Gongsun Dayin are avoided by someone in the Commander's Mansion, and no one has an opinion on this matter. Zibi patiently explained.
"It's you!" Zisi said, pointing to Zibi's nose, "how can you let this happen without stopping it?"
"Son, son, it took a lot of effort to keep Yangfeng, and it is inconvenient to openly oppose the Prince Regent. Zibi thought of a brilliant excuse.
"It's trouble!" Zi Si lay down dejectedly, "The balance of the government and government has been broken, and the behavior of the royal family will definitely inspire the courtiers below to be disrupted. ”
"Is it that serious?" Zibi seemed frightened.
Zisi closed his eyes and could see his eyelids fluctuating, "The conventions since the founding of the country can be broken, what else can't be changed? Once people's minds change, they will have to be suppressed with iron and blood, I don't see that the royal family has this ability, things will only deteriorate, it is difficult to control it, it is very difficult!"
"The boy is ready to play the music right away!" Zibi realized the gravity of the problem.
"Has Shaodian succeeded him?"
"I just took up my post this morning. ”
"It's too late, you should stop it when you have an idea, unless the Senate counters strongly, but that will damage the authority of the Prince Regent and weaken the majesty of the court, hey, it's not a good thing either. Zisi's expression was pained.
"This, this, what should I do?" Zibi panicked, and the beard on his jaw was shaking.
"Well, think about it. ”
"Fully support Yang Feng, help him grasp more military power, and expand his influence in the military!"
"Try your best to make friends with all kinds of nobles, be sure to fight for a seat of elder at the next Senate meeting, and you can use half of the resources in the clan. ”
"Pay close attention to the situation of the Ding family, sabotage them as much as possible to enhance their strength, especially to prevent Ding Kui from developing further, provided that you can't make enemies with the Jiang family and the Long family!"
“......”
Zisi didn't expect to say a little bit and explain to his son to deal with the situation that may arise in the future.
There is another father and son in the capital.
Weiguo Mansion.
"Why did Shaodian come so suddenly? Isn't there any rumor in the Government Council and the Senate?" Long Kun asked his Lao Tzu.
"No, didn't Shao Dianzhang ask you?" Long Dang was very annoyed.
"I didn't see any warning at all, but this morning there was suddenly a commander in chief of the Military Command Department, and several of us were very surprised. Long Kun's face was solemn.
"Crazy, crazy! How can a knight president be in charge of the government? Are the people around him all ministers? Shaodian Kingdom! It's going to change the sky!" Long Dang's face suddenly flushed.
"Dad!" Long Kun grabbed Long Dang's hand, "Please rest assured! Pay attention to your body!
"Hmph!" Long Dang closed his eyes to channel the fighting energy in his body.
After a long while, he said: "That's right, the rebels are almost at the doorstep, and I can't care what others want to pull!"
"Do you want to make a move in the military?" asked Long Kun tentatively.
"Move! We must move! If we don't move, others will move, and the strength must be in our own hands, isn't the Twelfth Army still lacking a commander? If you go to negotiate with Jiang Xi, you must use the people of the Long family!"
"I'm afraid the Xun family and the Gongsun family will object. ”
Long Dang glanced at his son, "Are you old and foolish to me? The Gongsun family still dares to take care of us even if the Eleventh Legion asks for it? I can knock out Gongsun Da's teeth! Jiang Xi will give the Long family a face, and the Xun family can't stop him." ”
The old man is still domineering.
"Dragon Twin ......"
Long Dang glared and said, "He can't do it! It's okay to be a captain, just use your old subordinates." The Twelfth Legion has been rebuilt in Nanmarsh, and it's time for your godson-in-law to do something. Well, send someone to give your granddaughter more gifts, and I authorize you to choose whatever you want in the clan's treasure house, and be sure to stabilize Long Yan's position in the Ding family. ”
When Long Kun heard this, he thought it was true, and responded: "Definitely, definitely! Ding Kui has fought well in Nanqiu County, and the credit for recovering the country will definitely not be less, is it possible for him to mention it again?"
"An Guogong has not yet chosen an heir, he should have transferred the Ding family back to the General Staff, and the Jiang family took over the Military Command Department, but now the situation is messed up by Shaodian, and it is impossible to mention Ding Kui to the General Staff.
You go and hint at Ding Kui and allow him to promote more capable and reliable cronies. At most, he can regain control of the Eighth Legion, and the way up is blocked by Shaodianji, so he can find a way below. "Long Dang's mind is unusually clear.
"You are really the treasure of the Zhen clan, comparable to the entire treasure house!" Long Kun showed a flattering look.
"Get out!" Long Dang grabbed a mahjong on the table and threw it over, "Don't please you here, I'll persuade your eldest brother when I have time." ”
“......”
At this time, Jiang Xi, who was far away in Nannuma Prefecture, also learned of the changes in the capital, and standing in front of him was the leader of a "flying thorn", in charge of the collection of special intelligence, "There is another thing, the old housekeeper suddenly returned to the capital from Anguo County, and then disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”
"Flying Thorn" is an intelligence organization secretly established by the Jiang family, and the person in charge is the patriarch, and Jiang Xi can share part of the information.
"Don't worry about the housekeeper's business, the patriarch must have something important to hand over to him. Jiang Xi said solemnly, "The Military Command Department is handed over to Shaodianji? Hmph! Then don't blame me for abusing my authority as the commander of the war zone." ”
"I'm sorry lord, there is news again, go down and take a look. ”
Jiang Xi waved his hand, still digesting Shaodianji's matter in his mind.
After a few moments, the leader of the flying thorns returned to his study and taught Jiang Xi a small note.
After reading it, Jiang Xi slapped the note into powder and said, "The Long family's reaction is really fast, and they thought of privilege earlier than me."
Not being in the capital at this time is a mixed bag, and neither is my father and eldest brother, so I can only make my own decisions.
Inform Jiang Zhi and call Ding Kui to wait for me, and let Sun Jianing assist my stand-in to take care of the base camp, and I will leave for a few days. ”
Ding Kui was circling around Fei Ze, pondering how to write a detailed battle report.
"Do you want to write the truth?" Fei looked dizzy.
"No! Now is an era of great rejoicing, and if I write truthfully, I can't share any credit from others, and my image of being wise and martial will also be greatly affected, so I must highlight the strong combat effectiveness of each unit!" Ding Kui was reluctant to make it public that he persuaded Feng Run to retire.
"But there aren't many corpses of your own army in this battle, how can you highlight your strong combat effectiveness if you don't kill a few enemies?" Fei Ze had already racked his brains.
"Made, there are still some captives over there in Hengfu City, and they have all been cut down. Ding Kui couldn't think of a way to conjure up a corpse.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
Gong Le walked into the tent and said, "Chief of Staff, please go to the headquarters tomorrow." ”
"Good. Ding Kui motioned for Gong Le to step back.
Why is Jiang Zhi looking for me at this time? Why don't you ask him to borrow some prisoners?
Whatever he did, he thought of the captive.
"That's the only way, it's useless for Hengfu City to be captured. Fei Ze didn't take the lives of his own people seriously.
"Hey, I knew that I would let Feng Run leave all the wounded soldiers. You have to hurry up and let the 73rd and 76th divisions go to Huatong City, there are Red Army guards here, and you can't let yourself escape anymore. ”
Ding Kui's command task has actually been completed, and he can communicate with Jiang Zhi if he takes Xixuancheng, but the front-line commander has the right to issue new combat orders according to changes in the military situation.
"This military order can be written by his subordinates immediately, do you need to bring the battle report to the headquarters tomorrow?"
"No, you contact your family, do a good job and then report to the war. "Ding Kui is not in a hurry to report the battle.
After one night, Ding Kui inspected the city defense, left Ao Yu to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, and took a few personal soldiers to Qinglan City slowly.
"What? Shao Dianji, who is it?" he heard an unexpected message when he arrived at the headquarters.
"Prince Regent's son. Jiang Zhi replied expressionlessly.
"Damn! Who is Shaodian Xiao when Shaodian?" Ding Kui's thinking jumped a very large span.
"That's okay. ”
"Is it against me? He went to the military command department because he didn't want me to join the general staff! me, who did I recruit and provoke?" Ding Kui smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.
"I can't tell. Jiang Zhi didn't have such a keen sense of politics, "Later, you can ask the coach, he called you this time." ”
Ding Kui realized that there was no one else next to him, Jiang Zhi took him into the small room, "Uncle is here?" he turned his head to look around.
"I didn't arrive. By the way, what's going on with Xixuancheng? Your first military information is full of mistakes and omissions, is the enemy commander stupid or are you stupid? Just handed over Xixuancheng without incident?" Jiang Zhi had already seen the problem.
"Don't talk like that, we're still relatives! Ding Kui didn't hide it, and told Jiang Zhi in 1510.
"It's really a peaceful handover, so why don't you write it directly? Make up a lot of some and no, the boss doesn't like us to take the lead in the army, maybe he came for this, no wonder he told me to keep it secret. ”
