Ding Kui greeted Hua Song at the water village, and the Nanzhaozhou navy returned to Chunlu Bay.
"So the battle plan started with General Ding. On behalf of the Zhou Navy, I would like to thank you!" Hua Song finally had the last laugh.
"If it weren't for you to contain the enemy navy and without the bravery of the navy soldiers to kill the enemy, how could the general have captured this stronghold? Sir Hua, you're welcome." Ding Kui did not dare to take credit.
"Speaking of it, in order to defeat the Japanese invaders this time, the navy suffered a lot of casualties. I hope your army can help defend the Chunlu Bay Water Village, so that I can do my best to clear the enemy forces on the Tongyuan River."
The state navy army could mobilize limited troops, and the new recruits were managed by the war zone base camp. Basically, priority was given to replenishing the 6th Army. Hua Song had to ask for help from Ding Kui.
"This is no problem at all. How about I leave the 75th Division to garrison for a while?" Ding Kui knew the importance of the water village and did not refuse.
The 75th Division was led by Yu Zhong for a period of time. Let alone defending on the shore, even boarding a ship for combat was not a problem. Hua Song was very satisfied with Ding Kui's decision.
More and more troops were besieging Nanqiu County City. Ding Kui led the 74th Division and the Red Army to protect the country, and swaggered to set up camp five miles outside the south of the city. He also regularly flew over the south of the city; with the 114th, 115th and 116th Divisions
With the formation of the regiment, the 111th, 112th and 113th divisions joined the siege, built camps in the west of the city, and sent new soldiers to conduct siege drills.
There are the Kong Family Army and the 21st Army Corps in the north, the main force of the 8th Army Corps in the east, Dingkui and Chunlu River in the south, and the 12th Army Corps and the hinterland of Nanzhao Prefecture in the west. It is difficult for more than 60,000 own troops in the county to get involved.
escape.
Haotong came to negotiate with Ding Kui, hoping to open a way for his own army to board a ship at Lengshui Slope of Juyang City and evacuate. The condition they gave was to leave all their belongings and weapons and equipment.
"The only way out for you is to surrender. All the property, weapons and equipment are not enough to compensate the people of Nanqiu County. If you want to go home safely, ask your country's court to pay for the redemption."
Ding Kui simply refused.
No one expected that the battle situation in Nanqiu County would change so drastically in just one day. Before the end of the armistice, Yudi was still deliberately planning an attack, intending to eliminate several Shaodian troops.
However, because he ignored a small sneak attack, Ding Kui boldly crossed into the area occupied by his own army and directly attacked the place where his army must be rescued, disrupting all his strategic and tactical plans. In the end, he lost everything after making repeated mistakes.
Negotiations were also taking place in Zhenjing City, and this time Ji Ji found Shaodianxiao's Prince's Mansion.
"Brother Xiao," (Shaodian Xiao is older) Ji Xun's attitude changed obviously, "Our king is reasonable and agrees that Prince Man's matter needs to be investigated clearly so that the world can be given an explanation. As for the compensation, we can wait."
We’ll discuss it after the investigation results come out.”
"Okay, okay, King Ji understands justice well, is fair, and has always been on good terms with our country. This decision will benefit the people of both countries."
Shao Dianxiao secretly complained in his heart: You should be reasonable after losing the battle. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hold our hands and want to talk about it later. You have taken advantage of all the good things.
"Yes, we are a country of in-laws. It would be too harmonious for us to fight against each other. Let's do this. Our country will take the initiative to withdraw its troops in Nanqiu County and stop the armed confrontation from now on." Ji Jun made no demands and blindly promised.
"Haha, brother Jun Xian seems to have forgotten one thing."
"Um, what's the matter?"
"On the border between the two countries, your country's Northern Route Army is attacking our border county. It has caused many casualties in our country and dozens of villages and towns have been burned down. How should we deal with it over there?
As for those troops from your country in Nanqiu County, they have done a lot of burning, killing and looting. Our soldiers and civilians have suffered greatly, and they must be punished according to our laws."
Now Shaodian Xiao is very strong-willed. Since the enemy has been trapped by his own army, there is nothing he can do to let them go back.
"Your Highness Prince Xiaoyao, we will handle our troops ourselves, so we won't bother your country. The Northern Route Army doesn't know the situation yet. I'll talk to them when I get back, and they won't continue to attack."
I found that the other party didn't give me much face, and the expression on his face became stiff.
With a click, Shao Dianxiao knocked on the table with his fingers, and the servants waiting on the side exited the living room one after another.
"His Royal Highness Prince Haichao, you should be clear about the situation of your army without telling anyone secretly. The Eighth Army Corps is guarding outside the city. The only option for your army is to fight to the death except surrender.
At this point in the war, it is almost impossible to change the will of the soldiers on the front line. Even if you persuade the Prince Regent, you will not be able to save the troops in Nanqiu County.
Surrendering can reduce casualties." He emphasized the last sentence, not wanting to make any detours.
"Your country is so unfriendly, and you think our country has no one? It's okay if you don't want to talk. I can talk to Shao Dianyong." Ji Jun did not hide his bottom line.
"You are threatening us like this. I advise you not to use the rebels as bargaining chips. The people of the Shaodian family are not lacking in backbone. If you dare to side with the rebels, it is equivalent to declaring war on our country! I heard that Meng Guo seems to be doing the same.
They will not be idle, they will be very happy to see our two countries start a full-scale war."
Shao Dianxiao had long known that Ji Kun had this skill and had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Is Shaodianguo so depraved that he wants to join forces with the enemy?" Ji Jun hit several nails in a row and became very angry.
"The Meng Kingdom attacked its in-laws and allies. Isn't this a good look? There are some things I don't want to say clearly. No matter how weak the Shaodian Kingdom is, they will not allow others to come and bully them. If your country does not correct its attitude, it will only be a bitter fruit in the end."
Shao Dianxiao didn't give him a good face either.
The private negotiations between the two ended badly.
Looking at Changle County, Shaodianzhi urged the Wan family to organize troops to support Dingguo County. At noon, he suddenly received a secret letter, and the new king Shaodian asked him to rush to the border of his country immediately.
"Hello, cousin, I didn't expect my nephew to see you again so soon." It turned out that it was Ji Man who asked him to meet.
"Haha, you and I are two families. We don't need to be so clear-cut in terms of seniority. You can just call me big brother in private." Jiman's attitude was completely different from the last time.
One of them is from the Shaodian family, and the other is from the Ji family. According to their respective families, regardless of the elders or juniors, generally speaking, they are judged by their age.
"Oh, since the eldest brother has such good intentions, you're welcome." Shao Dianzhi was a little surprised when he arrived.
However, he is also considered a prince, and he doesn't like to call Jiman, who is also a prince and similar in age, his cousin. He is happy to see the change in the other person.
"I heard that in Zhenjing City, Shaodian is now in control of the government, and even put his son into the commander-in-chief's mansion. It seems that there is some disorder, which has caused complaints throughout the country."
Shaodianzhi's eyes lit up.
There's drama!
The other party's words contained a wealth of information, and our country's attitude towards the orthodoxy struggle for King Shaodian's throne had changed.
"Yes! That's not right either!" He said according to Jiman's words.
"That's right, because the former president of the Knights Association has really made the whole country complain. He supported a young boy as the king. It turned out that he was deliberately causing trouble for Tsunasa for his own selfish reasons."
"It's wrong because my father has always been in charge of Shaodian's affairs. It was not his turn to get involved when he rebelled against Shaodian. Unfortunately, the important officials in the original dynasty were deceived and coerced by him and had to fight against the orthodoxy of our country."
He was really not polite at all. Shaodian said that Shaodian Yong's lineage was rebellious. He also said Shaodian was rebellious. His point of view was to emphasize that Shaodian Yong was the orthodox king.
"Haha," Jiman smiled again, "The heir to the throne should at least have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Ignorant children can only be deceived into becoming puppets. How can they behave like a king? I personally think that your father is more suitable to be the Shaodian King."
That's right! Shao Dianzhi was waiting for this sentence. He had been called a rebel for more than half a year, and few outsiders recognized him. Jiman's statement was very important to him.
"Eldest brother's knowledge is worthy of that of the crown prince of a country."
"Hey, don't say that. My brother is not the prince of my country, so it can easily be misunderstood." Although Jiman knew that the other party was not sincere, he still smiled broadly.
"Oh, I really didn't expect this!" Shao Dianzhi pretended to be shocked, "In my opinion, you should be the crown prince of your country, but that doesn't matter. Sooner or later, the crown prince's position will belong to the eldest brother."
"Haha, I accept your good advice! Of course, I am not here to talk to you about our prince's affairs this time."
Shaodianzhi pricked up his ears.
"Do you know what happened to me?"
"Well, I heard something." Shao Dianzhi understood immediately.
"Actually, I just want to seek justice. As for compensation, I don't pay attention to it. Based on the relationship between our two countries, just give me justice. I don't need compensation."
"Little brother, I believe in big brother." Shao Dianzhi found that he couldn't say anything.
After all, the matter happened so suddenly, and Shao Dianyong did not have any specific explanation to him. On the surface, it seemed that it was very cost-effective to admit that Ji Man had been humiliated in exchange for his country's recognition of Shao Dian Yong as orthodox. The meanings of the two were several levels different.
Moreover, Ji Man clearly stated that compensation was not required, which meant that it could be negotiated and the bottom line was set very low, but the matter involved the country's face and he had to treat it carefully.
"I know this matter has nothing to do with you, and I'm not using it as a bargaining chip. I just want to get your condolences."
Jiman stopped and stared directly at Shaodianzhi.
"Ah, I will report it to my father immediately when I get back. I believe that my father will care about my eldest brother."
Shaodianzhi said beautifully, but in fact he said nothing.
"Alas, my good brother is still enthusiastic. As a brother, I can talk to my father. Tax cuts and deregulation can bring great benefits to our country. At least it is much better than that side that doesn't know how to respect people."
The manga is deliberately a bit vague.
"Brother, don't worry. Your experience is well known to everyone. Who wouldn't sympathize with you? If possible, I would be willing to vent your anger."
Shao Dianzhi is no longer the rookie he was during the first negotiation. He knows how to exercise discretion. He can understand what others mean without giving the other party any leverage. He has grown up quickly in a place far away from Shao Dianyong.
"Very good, I think the next opportunity to meet will come soon." Jiman expressed satisfaction with the meeting.
"By the way, if you really want to help me vent my anger, it's not difficult. You can do it as long as you are willing."
Shao Dianzhi asked curiously: "Oh? What does the elder brother need the younger brother to do?"
