"Where did the rebels get so many troops and weapons and equipment?" Xun Qi was puzzled.
"It's hard to judge without seeing it with your own eyes. Don't the newly added troops have combat effectiveness?" Gongsun Jie also didn't believe that the rebels had such strength.
"If Commander Jiang and Commander Long don't come back, why should they?"
"Shut up!" Shao Dianzhang shouted before Shao Dianji finished speaking, "Don't say nonsense that you shouldn't say!"
He had put up with the ignorant young Noritsugu for a long time. If it wasn't for the sake of the Prince Regent, he would have kicked Young Noritsugu out of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
Xun Qi and Gongsun Da both lowered their heads and pretended to read the documents. They were not involved in Shaodian's family affairs.
Shaonian Tsugumi thought that this was the Knights Association, and his father had the final say in everything. You must know that even Shaonian Akira was not qualified to appoint the commander-in-chief of the five divisions. The kingdom has maintained its structure for thousands of years only because of the decline of the Ding family.
But for a change, if the king wants to move the commander, he must first make proper arrangements.
Jiang Xi deliberately did not return to the capital. Now he was happily serving as the commander-in-chief of the camp in the eastern theater of Zhushan County. How could he return to the commander-in-chief and become the commander-in-chief of the staff with his hands and feet tied up.
Long Kun's situation is different. He is temporarily staying in Weiguo County. The flood has affected the Long family, and he also has to take care of the guidance work in the Zhongwangzhou War Zone. There is a reasonable excuse.
No one can say anything bad about them behind their backs in private, but you can't say it in a meeting at the Commander-in-Chief's Palace, no matter who is behind you, even if you are the Crown Prince.
"Shao Dianbao personally commanded the battle against the newly added rebels. Their combat effectiveness is not bad and cannot be compared with ordinary local armies. The nobles in Linhai Prefecture must have private armies and have stored a lot of ordnance. Commander Xun's problem is not difficult.
Explanation." Shaonian Zhang ignored Shaonian Tsugumi and continued the discussion with the other two commanders.
"The recruits from the Shanyuan Prefecture training camp have been allocated to Yangfeng, and there will be no replenishment in a short period of time. The recruits from Hexi Prefecture should support the southern defense line. Otherwise, the recruits from Yangyuan Prefecture should be sent to the south, and the recruits from Hexi Prefecture should be transferred to the north." Gongsun Jie proposed.
A plan.
"Lord Gongsun, please don't forget that the recruits from Yang Yuan Province have been kidnapped. The attitude of Yang Yuan State's pastor is ambiguous and they still don't want to place their hopes on him." Xun Qi said that he could not mobilize the recruits from Yang Yuan Province.
Theoretically, all the new recruits in the country were under the control of the Logistics Department, and Xun Qi had the right to mobilize new soldiers from any place. However, in reality, the new recruits from various places were basically in the hands of the state pastor. The state pastor controlled the military and political power of the state and could use many means to deal with the commander-in-chief.
Gongsunjie said unceremoniously: "It's the Long family! I suggest that the commander-in-chief come forward to talk to Duke Wei. Yang Yuanzhou Mu will definitely give face to Duke Long."
"Old Duke Long?" Shao Dianzhang suddenly felt a headache, "It's better to go into battle and kill the enemy than to talk to the elders, so forget your suggestion!
Put aside the matters in Yangyuanzhou for the time being, can you bring back a legion from the Zhongwangzhou Theater so that the Tenth Legion can maneuver back and forth between the north and south defense lines, which can somewhat relieve the pressure on the northern defense line."
"The Knights Association also has a knight division." Shao Noritsugu thought he had a good idea.
"No!" Xun Qi and Gongsun Jie shouted together.
Shaonian Akira looked at Shaonian Tsugumi with disdain and said: "The kingdom has not yet reached the point of overthrow. I have no shame in using that knight division."
How could the big guys in the Commander-in-Chief’s Office not know the foundation of the Knights Association? Shaodianji once again worked hard at every task. That division is the ultimate force to protect the palace. Shaodian Kingdom has not used it since the founding of the country. The night Shaodiandan was assassinated.
Only one person, Shaodianshi, was dispatched.
Shaonianji's face turned red, his lips were moving but no sound was heard.
"Well, the Zhongwangzhou local army and the Anguo army already have some combat experience, and the 21st and 22nd legions are in charge. It is possible to transfer the 13th legion back. There should be no serious problems in the Zhongwangzhou theater.
Besides, the floods are raging, and transferring one legion can alleviate the logistical pressure on Zhongwangzhou." Xun Qi agreed with the commander-in-chief's idea.
Gongsunjie said coldly: "Don't forget the threat from our country. Although our North Route Army has temporarily retreated, it may return at any time. Zhongwangzhou can no longer afford the trouble."
He didn't say anything clearly, Zhongwangzhou is the territory of each family, and they can fall anywhere, but Zhongwangzhou cannot!
"It doesn't matter, with Ding Kui here, if our country invades Zhongwangzhou again, he will not ignore it. I believe that the descendants of the protector will not sit back and watch the invasion of foreign enemies."
Among the people present, only Xun Qi dared to mention Ding Kui. When the country is in crisis, some internal struggles must be put aside.
"Ding Kui is a traitor, how can he leave the safety of Zhongwangzhou in the hands of traitors?" Shaodianji found another opportunity to speak. This time at least Gongsun Jie did not object to his opinion.
"Shao Dianji, you should avoid suspicion regarding the eldest princess and Ding Kui." Shao Dianzhang's words were very serious.
The rumors about Shaodian Tong and Nangong Taifei caused a stir in the city. Although the news came from Shaodian Yong, the new director of the Intelligence Department confirmed that the news should have been leaked by Nian Si, a defector from the Intelligence Department.
, Nian Si is now Ding Kui’s subordinate.
Many big men in the clan believe this rumor. There are a lot of dirty things in the palace. Outsiders don't know about it, but the old man of the Shaodian family knows it very well. Shaodianzhang was personally promoted by Shaodiandan, and there is a voice in his lineage.
, demanding the secret execution of Nangong Ru and Shaodian Tong. The regent had no objection if he wanted to prove his innocence.
How could the regent execute his own grandson, and he did not agree to touch the king's biological mother, so Shaodianzhang became more and more fed up with Shaodianshi and his son.
In today's situation, the big boss in the clan can influence the ownership of the throne, and Shaodian did not dare to offend the powerful people in the clan easily.
"You, you! I, my subordinates, why should we avoid suspicion? These are all things made up by traitors!" Shaodianji was furious, "Master Commander, be careful what you say! This matter will be decided by the clan office and has nothing to do with the commander-in-chief's office!" He was angry.
I couldn't do it, but I didn't dare to attack Shaodian Zhang.
"The king has not confirmed anything. Before confirming whether the rumors are true or false, it is necessary to avoid suspicion." Shao Dianzhang is also a person with a royal title. "Commander Xun speaks impartially and does not involve personal gain, which also represents the king's wishes.
Just do it! The Thirteenth Army Corps was transferred to the southern defense line of the Zhuangwangzhou Theater. The recruits from the Hexi Prefecture Training Camp rushed to the northern defense line of the Zhuangwangzhou Theater to follow the command of Commander Yang Feng. The Military Command immediately issued a military order."
No one dares to disobey the commander-in-chief when he shows his power, unless the young commander asks for the king's order to stop him.
After Shaodian left with a livid face, he went to the palace to complain to his father that night.
"Who told you to talk too much!" Shaodianshi slapped his son on the spot, "You only need to bring your ears to the commander-in-chief's residence! You'd better sew your mouth shut! Think about what you said? You shouldn't have let it go in the first place.
You go to the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion!”
"Even if I'm wrong, I shouldn't have mentioned the rumor!" Shao Dianzhang stood upright, motionless.
"How presumptuous!" Shaodianshi kicked his son over, "This is not the chance you gave me."
