"It is the royal family's right to choose who will be the king." Jiang Zhi felt that Ding Kui had a dangerous ideological tendency.
"That was the time when the Senate abandoned their martial arts. Now is a good time to return to the right path." Ding Kui didn't care about Jiang Zhi's views, his eyes were still fixed on Jiang Xi.
The Senate has the power to impeach the king, but this power has not been used for a long, long time, so long that people have almost forgotten this power.
"Are you sure you want to go this way?" Jiang Xi's expression was very serious.
"If you can leave, why not?" Ding Kui asked very seriously.
"This question is too involved and cannot be decided by several families. It is difficult for anyone to give you a conclusion. I cannot answer you on behalf of the Jiang family. In my opinion, whether the eldest princess can be the king depends on you. I
I can only support you in a personal capacity.”
Jiang Xi made his position clear, but he also made it very clear that only Ding Kui's strength was strong enough to overwhelm most aristocratic families, so that he could help Shaodian Luan ascend the throne.
Eight elders or above can jointly impeach the current king, and then organize a collegial meeting between the two houses of government and the two houses. If more than half of the participating officials agree, the process of replacing the king will be initiated.
It is too difficult to achieve the above conditions. The Government Council and the imperial family have always been in the hands of the king. Even if the Senate initiates an impeachment, it will not succeed.
At that time, Zisi wanted to force Shaodianji and Ding Dao to death because he was afraid of the Senate's impeachment. Without these two people, he would not be afraid of impeachment.
"I know it's very difficult, but now the situation in the country is getting more and more chaotic. Everyone has to strengthen their own strength. Depending on our conditions, someone might come to force Luan'er to be the king one day. Get ready now and take precautions for the future.
I will be in a hurry." Ding Kui did not show any more radical expression.
Jiang Zhi was speechless. This kind of topic was not something he could interrupt.
"Well, I understand. This era is for young people. Only those who dare to think and do will be rewarded. As elders, we cannot be a stumbling block for your progress. We must be a big tree that shelters you from the wind and rain. I want to discuss it with my eldest brother.
, if something really happens, the Jiang family cannot hold back."
The thing Jiang Xi mentioned was that someone forced Shaodian Luan to become the king.
"Now that I have my second uncle, Kui'er needs the protection of the elders. After all, the bridge you have walked is longer than the road I have walked."
Ding Kui boldly raised this topic in order to test Jiang Xi's opinion. In fact, he didn't think there was much possibility for Shaodian Luan to become king, but what if he became king?
Next, Jiang Xi chatted with Ding Kui and Jiang Zhi about the current situation in the country. The topic became much more relaxed, and smiles reappeared on everyone's faces.
"Well, tomorrow we will focus our attack on Juyang City. I hope to celebrate the New Year in Juyang City." Before leaving, Jiang Xi set the short-term goals of the Eighth Army.
After Jiang Xi left, Ding Kui asked Jiang Zhi: "What about Huatongcheng? I sent the 72nd, 73rd and 76th divisions there."
"Then take it down. There are not many defenders in Huatong City. I can go to Xinjizhou City and ask Zhang Jie to send troops to support them. At least the 72nd Division will help them take down Jizhou City. You and Ding Yu had better go and help.
I will push the headquarters forward to Xixuan City to ensure your rear." Jiang Zhi was not in a hurry to attack Juyang City and decided to stabilize the front first.
That night, the 71st and 75th Divisions from Qinglan City moved towards Xixuan City, leaving only the 74th Division to guard the supply camp.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu did not wait for Jiang Zhi's headquarters to arrive, and immediately flew to Huatong City after meeting.
"What? The Ji-Kou evacuated on their own initiative!" Ding Kui rushed to Huatong City and found that the walls were covered with flags of the Shaodian Army.
"Yes, they ran away as soon as Wang Chou and Ma Zong arrived. The enemy should have reduced their forces to defend. The rejoining of the 21st Army Corps put too much pressure on them." Hua Mo took the lead to greet Ding Kui and Ao Yu.
Since the Eighth Army Corps arrived in Nanqiu County, our army has been defeated in consecutive battles, and its troop strength has been decreasing. The local army has dropped from 150,000 at the beginning to less than 30,000 now. The Northern Fifth Army has dropped sharply from 100,000 to more than 20,000. The Northern Third Army has also been reduced.
The legion participated in several tough battles and now has less than 80,000 troops. The Northern Fourth Army also had less than 80,000 troops after losing Jizhou City.
A lot of troops of about 200,000 were gathered, and there were not many troops stationed in separate cities. In order to avoid being gradually cannibalized by the Eighth Army, Yudi immediately ordered the defenders of Huatong City to retreat to Jiaxuan after Fengrun abandoned Xixuan City.
New Town.
When the people on Huatong Mountain learned that the Shaodian Army had recaptured Huatong City, some timid ones stayed on the mountain to watch, fearing that their own troops would attack again; the bold ones followed the militiamen down the mountain and returned to their homes.
"You pick up five thousand strong militiamen and head to Baiting City immediately. I appoint you as the commander of the city defense army and temporarily take charge of Baiting City. I also inform General Shu Li to lead his troops to Xixuan City and wait under the chief of staff's tent."
Ding Kui ordered Shao Dian to fly.
"Sir, I would like to return to your service." Shao Dianfei said shyly.
"Stupid, fighting is not just about offense, defense is also very important. Your job is to be the captain of the outpost and the main defense. The task I give you is to train your ability in defense. People with outstanding abilities can easily get promotion opportunities. You
Don’t live up to my expectations.”
"Yes." Shao Dianfei has a strong sense of discipline and will immediately carry out new tasks after his appeal fails. Ding Kui sent him to take charge of the task because of this.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu returned to Xixuan City because the next attack direction was not in Huatong City.
"Which troops do you want to bring back to Juyang City?" Jiang Zhi spread out the map and asked Ding Kui.
"The 71st Division must go. With so many powerful cavalry entering Juyang City, the enemy troops in Tuofeng Mountain will retreat without a fight." Ding Kui did not consider storming Tuofeng Mountain and decided to make full use of the secret passage in the swamp.
"Good idea." Jiang Zhi nodded.
"The 80th Division has suffered the greatest battle losses. They can stay at the Tuofengshan Outpost and leave Juyang City to the defense of the National Protectorate Red Army.
The enemy's defense focus is on the county and city areas, from Demi City to Wangxia City, and only a small number of troops are garrisoned in the cities along the river.
Huatong City and Xixuan City are the places we focus on guarding, while Jizhou City and Port City must be guarded by a small number of troops."
Ding Kui directly considered the tactical arrangements after taking Juyang City.
Juyang City is not a place suitable for defense. It is heavily attacked by the Eighth Army. It is necessary to pay a high price to defend it. However, with the advantage of our own army on the water, it is very simple to attack Juyang City.
"Juyang City needs to defend the Chunlu River Ferry and the long Tongyuan River bank. Does the Red Army have enough strength to protect the country?" Jiang Zhi knew that it was difficult to defend there.
"Don't be afraid. In the worst case, just run back to Hengfu City and defend the outpost. With the current strength of our army, it is unlikely that we will counterattack. Even if we want to counterattack, we will first choose Xixuan City, Huatong City and Jizhou City.
Secondly, unless Yudi is out of his mind, he will attack the Giant City." Ding Kui also has a trump card, he can ask He Lianyu to help defend the Giant City.
"According to you, I will order you to lead the 71st Division to Port City tomorrow. The 77th, 79th and 80th Divisions will be at your disposal before the recovery of Juyang City." Jiang Zhi completely switched to the role of assisting Ding Kui. That secret discussion made him
Understand that Ding Kui may be the king's man.
The lord has returned to Hengfu City!
A big news spread in the city. Someone saw countless war horses and knights entering the city, and the leader was none other than Ding Kui.
"I didn't say anything in advance when I came back," Shaodian Luan said angrily.
She greeted Ding Kui in front of the main gate of the Lord's Mansion.
"Haha, this is a secret march. I also want to give you a surprise."
A few days ago, Ding Kui led the 71st Division and his cavalry troops to Port City. After brief discussions with Dong Ba, Xi Xiu, Qiao Meng and others, he secretly sneaked into the secret passage of the swamp with all the cavalry in one night.
"How long will it take for you to come back?" Shao Dian Luan took Ding Kui to Long Yan's yard.
"Go back to Giant Sheep City tomorrow and drive away all the intruders. Those bastards have been occupying my territory for more than two months."
Ding Kui said this with an evil spirit unconsciously, which aroused Shaodianluan's fighting spirit to protect his body and reveal his fighting spirit armor.
"You are beaten and killed every day, and your evil spirit is getting worse and worse," Shao Dian Luan pulled Ding Kui to a stop, "I shouldn't take you to see Jing Jing." She slowly removed her fighting spirit armor.
"It's okay, she has an amulet, this evil spirit will not affect her, as long as I don't touch her." Ding Kui touched Shao Dianluan's face, "How can you not let your daughter see her father!"
The gift from Ao Yan now shows its value. The evil spirit that can alarm the fearless knight cannot destroy the space near the dragon egg fragments.
"I hope you only touch me, but this is not the solution." Shao Dianluan pressed her hands on her face, "Didn't you say that Haimengji is a body of water? Can it neutralize this evil spirit?"
"Oh yo yo, you are such a generous lady." Ding Kui put Shao Dian Luan into his arms, his big hands becoming restless. This was a sequelae of staying in the military camp for a long time.
"Uh-huh," Shao Dianluan couldn't help but gasp, "It's not just for the sake of you damn ghost."
"That makes sense. Call Hai Mengji here and let's go together..." Ding Kui said with a smirk on his face, "Hehe!"
"..." Shao Dianluan gave in half and took Ding Kui to his room. On the way, he sent someone to call Hai Mengji.
"Sir, madam." Hai Mengji just walked into the room, her face immediately turned red, and what she saw was a scene that made her shy.
"Come on!" A big hand grabbed Hai Mengji's arm.
...(harmonious picture)
In ordinary times, Shao Dianluan would definitely not agree to Ding Kui's request. If the majestic princess did this with a cheap maid, she would never be embarrassed. But today Ding Kui just came back from the army and will go on an expedition tomorrow. There are some things that need to be satisfied by him.
, otherwise it would be even worse for him to find a solution outside.
The three of them fought for almost an hour before Ding Kui walked out of the room with a smile on his face and went to Long Yan's yard to see his daughter.
Shaodian Luan really guessed right. Hai Mengji could resolve the evil spirit in Ding Kui, and now Ding Kui could get close to Jing Jing.
"Jingjing is good, Jingjing is good, yo, don't scratch dad's face." Ding Kui hugged his daughter, his face almost touching her.
"Let her catch you. How can she break your shamelessness?" Long Yan nestled against Ding Kui.
"Our daughter has a new name." Ding Kui closed his eyes and let his daughter's little hands scratch around.
"Ah! What's it called?" Long Yan was in a confused mood.
