As long as Ding Kui and Ao Yu stay together, they will have fights every now and then. People around them are used to it.
"Sir, have you discussed with Brother Ding Yu again?" Fei Ze came to the conference room and found Ding Kui with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
"Watch your words, what kind of sparring? I taught him a lesson! He's not used to showing mercy on the battlefield, so he failed to control his strength and it got in his way." Ding Kui tried his best to hide the fact that he was beaten, but it was of no use to say so.
.
"Haha, brother Ding Yu has good medicine. It is particularly effective in treating trauma. No matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured in a blink of an eye. It's just that he is a bit stingy and refuses to share it with his lord." Liu Yu also helped to cover it up.
.
He didn't expect that he was right by mistake, and Ao Yu really had good medicine in his hands.
"That's right, he's too stingy! I won't buy it with gold coins. He insists on using treasures in exchange. He is the most greedy person in the world. Let's not talk about him! What is the situation in Shibu County?" Ding Kui pretended not to know.
Fei Ze replied: "The experts you sent killed the stone foundation of the Shibu County Magic Guild. Kong Ren set up an ambush and severely damaged Lei Jiu's armed forces. Taihe City was captured by our army. Next, Commander Zhong will send his troops to attack the county city.
If nothing else happens, we can capture the county seat before three months."
"Shao Dianxi will not sit idly by and watch. What's going on with Gongsun Mi?" Ding Kui now considered more factors than before.
"Speaking of Gongsun Mi, I have another matter to report."
"explain."
Fei Ze handed over a secret letter and said: "Sir Jin Man sent news that the 21st Army Corps is operating near Weiguo County."
"Oh?" Ding Kui opened the letter and saw that sentence inside.
Liu Yu explained: "Jin Shuai must have considered that Gongsun's family has an affair with Shao Dianxi. Gongsun Mi can not only mobilize the local army of Nanma Prefecture, but also the soldiers and horses of Weiguo County. The activities of the 21st Army are threatening
Gongsun family."
"The Gongsun family won't deliberately go against me, right?" Ding Kui thought carefully about his interactions with the Gongsun family and made sure that he did not have any grudge against them.
"This is related to the disputes of a large family. I have no experience in this area." Liu Yu was in trouble.
"That's right. You used to work for the imperial court. Well, Uncle Jin won't do anything wrong. He specifically informed me that he must have guessed something. We have to be on guard. Bring me the map of the state."
Between the Gongsun family and Jin Man, Ding Kui chose to believe in Jin Man.
"Weiguo County is connected to Duping County. Duping County has the main official road leading to the city, and there is also a separate road leading to Shibu County, which facilitates the rapid march of large-scale troops and horses. We have ignored it before." Liu Yuyue looked at it.
More and more shocked.
There are official roads between cities, between counties and counties, and of course between states. They are the widest and smoothest roads. Every year, the state government allocates funds for repairs and sends people to inspect.
"No wonder Shao Dianxi loves the Gongsun family. He is worthy of being a county king who governs a state. He is so scheming!" Ding Kui found out that Shao Dianxi had involved the Gongsun family, and things became very complicated.
It is true that the Ding family has influence in the military, but in such a large kingdom, with more than two million people in the regular army, no one family can influence the entire military. Among them are the Yang family, the Jiang family, and the Gongsun family.
.
The eldest princess can be the governor of the country, and the prince consort has conquered such a large area. How can a big family with only one county not be jealous?
Introducing Gongsun's family into Nanma Prefecture was Shao Dianxi's plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. He was betting that the court would eventually bring order to the chaos and put an end to the rebellion of Shao Dianyong and Shao Dian Luan. Nanma Prefecture would still be under his control. He was not afraid.
The Gongsun family beat Ding Kui away and forced him to stay.
To take a step back, if the imperial court loses, then the Gongsun family will spare no effort to fight with the eldest princess. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. When the winner is determined between the two families, the strength of the remaining family will also be severely damaged. He, Shao Dianxi,
There will be greater confidence in regaining the lost territory.
"The Kong family is still smart and did not take advantage of Shao Dianxi's trap. It seems that the Gongsun family is very ambitious and I am afraid they will not lose to the Yang family." Fei Ze saw it more clearly.
"It makes sense! Shaodianxi's little thoughts should not be hidden from the Gongsun family. A mere county prince is still not as good as a thousand-year-old family. If the Gongsun family can reach out, they must have some tricks." Ding Kui immediately woke up after being prompted.
Why can't others see through the plan that he can see through? The Gongsun family may have taken advantage of the scheme and used Shao Dianxi's invitation to intervene in Nanzhao Prefecture.
"Then the Gongsun family is not against the lord, but the intention is to oppose the imperial court or Shaodianshi!" Liu Yu linked the matter to the overall situation of the country, "The imperial court was unable to mobilize troops to solve the problem in Nanma Prefecture, and tacitly allowed the local government to form an army.
Protecting one's own interests gives some people an opportunity to take advantage of the court's short-sightedness to strengthen themselves.
The territory of the Gongsun family is right between us and the imperial court. It is a good place where we can have both sides. They can choose to cooperate with the imperial court, quickly grow themselves and then wipe out us, thus forming a situation where they cannot lose. They can also choose to cooperate with us and join forces.
Fight against the imperial court and ultimately help the family reach a higher level."
Ding Kui didn't want to know, but he was startled when he thought that he might become someone else's wedding dress. In the end, everything was in vain.
"Hey, I was just patronizing myself. I was blinded by the identity of the consort. Those thousand-year-old families are the hidden predators. How could they stand idly by? The imperial court is so weak and the royal family is so chaotic. All powerful forces must be
Heartbeat, the question is just how to get the maximum benefit."
He felt like a little fish in a whirlpool. Occasionally he could jump out of the water, but he still had to fall back into the water. If he couldn't break free, he would be swept away by the turbulent current. The big whirlpool of Shaodian Country was not easy to mess with. If you were not careful,
It will be shattered into pieces.
"My lord, don't be discouraged. Not all aristocratic families have ambitions. When the court and the royal family are in chaos, don't the aristocratic families themselves? Stability is the highest pursuit of many aristocratic families. Otherwise, there would be no ancestral precepts that prohibit children from getting involved in the struggle for the throne.
Judging from the current situation, the Jiang family, the Long family, the Kong family and the Xun family all abide by their duties. On the surface, they have not gone beyond the limits. Secretly, they have only made separate bets to insert their children into various forces. They cannot see for the time being.
Those who have territorial requirements.
Whether you stand by and watch or intervene in the chaos, first of all, everyone pays attention to the status. The lord himself is the status. No one will ignore this, so the lord has a lot to do." Liu Yu analyzed the problem from a national perspective.
"The Kong family refuses to come forward to help Young Dianxi and sends Kong Ren to your side. They have already shown their attitude. They only want the stability of Wenguo County." Fei Ze explained the specific intentions of the Kong family.
"Well, no matter what, we have to be prepared to deal with the Gongsun family." Ding Kui pointed to Shibu County, "Who will be the reserve team there?"
"The safest way is of course to send the Eighth Legion, and the second is to send the Twenty Legion. However, I think that the Gongsun family will not be exhausted from the beginning. At most, we can test our strength. In fact, we can send the new Twelve Legion.
Exercise." Liu Yu is not as confident as before.
The opponents hiding in the dark are the most difficult to predict. Maybe the Gongsun family will not rescue Shibu County, and Gongsun Mi may abandon Shibu County, and sending more troops there will be in vain.
Fei Ze suggested: "Shibu County can be classified as the defense area of the Twelve Legions. Commander Zhong can capture a city and leave without leaving troops to garrison. Regardless of whether there are soldiers and horses to rescue Shibu County, we can just stabilize it ourselves."
Ding Kui and Liu Yu both nodded, "I will write a military order based on this idea, and also order Jiang Zhi, the 71st Division to enter a state of preparation for war, and may become a fire-fighting force at any time." Ding Kui stamped a blank military order and handed it to
Fee rules.
"My country has sent an itinerary, and the time and route for you and your wife's entry and exit have been arranged. All the accompanying cars, drivers and attendants are available.
Because you and your wife have been arranged to go through the portal, there are restrictions on the number of people accompanying you. You can only bring ten guards and five maids." Liu Yu was responsible for contacting Ding Kui about going to his country.
"This is the best. It saves time on the road. It doesn't matter if we go to other people's places with or without guards. Luan'er and I have the ability to protect ourselves. The waitresses are honorable, so it's better to bring a few more." Ding Kui has a guard.
Don't want to take it.
If our country has evil intentions, it will be useless to ask anyone to follow them. They can mobilize dozens of sixth-level combatants at any time. Even if they bring Ao Yu and Ding Kun, they will die. Even if Jiang Tong is willing to follow, they can dispatch Yu Guang
, can't be beaten either vertically or horizontally.
The maids are different. They can go to more places with Shaodian Luan, making the eldest princess look more noble, and are much more useful than bodyguards.
"You have to have people around you to wait on you. I can't send servants to ask you to come out in person, right? At least two people are needed." Liu Yu disagreed.
"Two, that's fine." Ding Kui calculated that he could bring thirteen maids to take care of his wife, which is basically enough.
"Who should I take? I can arrange for the etiquette teacher to teach them in advance."
Following Ding Kui to your own country is equivalent to sending an envoy on behalf of the Shaodian Kingdom. It is not good if you don't understand the etiquette. It is a necessary procedure to ask a teacher to teach you, which cannot be omitted.
"Well, I have to think about it. It's hard to go abroad. This kind of opportunity is really rare. I have to let my good brother go out and see it. Zeng Jian wants to follow, and there is another one. I think I'll let Long Shuang go."
Ding Kui is a direct descendant of the Long family who takes care of him and supports him.
Many people have never been abroad in their lives, especially those who live in the mainland. Long Shuang has gone abroad once. The last time he went back to Bei County, he was responsible for the robbery. But this time the situation was completely different. The other party received him as a state official. Then
It's not something that ordinary people can see.
"Long Shuang? What about the Jiang family? Bring one more member of the Jiang family so that you can explain to Master Jiang later." Liu Yu had to be cautious about matters related to the big family.
"There are no direct descendants in the Jiang family. The only one is still nursing, so we can't take her with him. Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry too much. I belong to the Jiang family, so I don't need to bring in another person." Ding Kui had his own plans, and he didn't want to treat anyone badly.
I won’t treat the Jiang family badly.
"Okay." Liu Yu knew he couldn't defeat Ding Kui, "Then how to prepare the gift? You can give me a specification and scope."
"A gift? Can you not bring it? It's really troublesome. People won't be happy if it's not given." Ding Kui had a headache.
