Chapter 1451 The Three Great Commanders of the Past
This meeting was completely beyond Ding Kui's expectations. Shaodian Run was completely different from the Zhou Mu he knew. He was more like an elder who cared about him. He spent most of his time chatting about family matters and only talked about serious matters in a few sentences. He was willing to serve as a captain.
, Yang Yuanzhou Mu passed it down to his son.
"You and grandpa must have many stories. When I was young, my father was rarely at home, so grandpa Kun was the only one who accompanied the younger generation."
"Who is Grandpa Kun?" Shaodian Run was curious.
"Lao Ding's later housekeeper, Ding Kun." Long Yuan knew.
"Oh, that young man, we were already hanging out here when he entered the Ding family." Shaodian Run obviously knew about it, but he was not familiar with it.
"That guy only knows how to kill people. How can he tell stories to children? Besides, he doesn't know anything about us." Long Yuan looked disdainful.
Not many people dare to comment on Ding Kun like this, at least they have never met Ding Kui before, but Long Yuan is qualified.
"That era was when Lao Ding was at his most high-spirited, and his reputation as a brave commander was powerful in the southern continent." Shao Dianrun narrowed his eyes with a look of nostalgia on his face.
"Hehe, Lao Run wants to recall the past again." Long Yuan waved his hand, signaling the singing and dancing to retreat.
It seems that he is indeed a frequent visitor to the palace, and the servants obey his orders.
"Aren't you kids who want to hear it? It's been a long time since anyone told me about the past."
Shaodian was so chatty that he drank all the wine in one gulp and threw it on the ground.
"It was an era when heroes came out in large numbers. The first one who rose to fame was your grandfather, the tyrant Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong was incredible. Single-handedly, with one man and one sword, he killed a large group of Qi Army who could not land. He became famous in the battle on the Tongyuan River.
.
Later, he took over as the commander-in-chief of the First Army Corps and guarded Shanyuan Prefecture. Every time the Qi army invaded, he led the First Army Corps to attack the enemy's landing camp head-on, beating the Qi people to the point of losing their temper.
Not to mention this, Boss Jiang domineeringly provoked Qi Guo, "I will kill as many soldiers and horses as you come. If I am in the first legion for a day, anyone who dares to offend Shanyuan Prefecture, I will kill them all."
The name spread from there.”
Ding Kui quickly filled a glass of wine again and placed his hands in front of Shaodian Run. He had never heard of Jiang Tong's past. No wonder the commander of the water village guarding the golden waterway went to Xiaxi Town to protect him, so he would definitely take up the post with Jiang Tong.
It is related to the commander-in-chief of an army.
"The second person who came out was your grandfather, Yongshuai Dingdao! Hehe, Old Ding's reputation was built on the shoulders of me and this old guy."
Long Yuan smiled bitterly, and Ding Kui pricked up his ears.
"That year was a turning point in the Hundred Years' War. The coalition forces of Cao Qi captured half of Yangyuan Prefecture, and the late king Shaodianlong personally led the expedition. At that time, I led the ninth legion to escort them. Xiaolong was still serving in the fourteenth legion, and Lao Ding's eighth legion was the vanguard.
.”
Come, those are the years when they and grandpa fought together.
Ding Kui was very excited. King Shaodian was leading the expedition in person, and instead dispatched two elite legions at the same time, and there may be more.
"I remember that it was Bei Yi who came up with a plan to lure the enemy deep and then defeat it with a strong army. Lao Ding deliberately let go of the enemy's main force. I led the troops to ambush a hundred miles away, and the 14th Army Corps protected the late king's central camp."
"The Fourteenth Army fought very fiercely in that battle. Old man, tell me about it. You know the situation best at that time." Shao Dianrun picked up the wine Ding Kui poured to moisten his throat.
"Well, Cao Qi's coalition army of 300,000 people besieged the Chinese army's camp. How could our army withstand it? Seeing that the situation was critical, I didn't think too much. I forcibly took off the late king's armor and led my troops to protect you and break through.
After a long period of fighting, I broke out of the siege. All the guards around the late king were killed. I only had more than a hundred men left, and there were nearly 5,000 pursuers behind me. In order to stop the pursuers, I asked a small team of soldiers to escort the late king away.
, the remaining people broke up with me.
Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared. If your vanguard hadn't arrived in time, I might have been watching you drinking and chatting in the Eternal Temple today." Long Yuan said this and toasted Shaodian Run with a glass of wine.
The memory of just a few sentences made Ding Kui fascinated. A thousand people protected the king and broke out, but more than a hundred were left. Long Yuan only said "after a long period of fighting", but you can imagine how fierce the battle scene was.
.
What made his blood boil the most was that Long Yuan led more than a hundred people to block nearly 5,000 pursuing troops. How much courage and confidence it took to do such a thing.
Shaodian Run continued: "In that battle, we were able to completely defeat the enemy's vanguard."
Ding Kui couldn't help but clicked his tongue, the 300,000 troops were the vanguard.
"The most unexpected thing is Lao Ding, what the hell!" Shao Dianrun got excited and started swearing, "He let the enemy rearguard go and actually led the Eighth Army across the Tongyuan River to Shengzhou in the west of Cao State.
"
Long Yuan drank another glass of wine and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Not to mention the commander-in-chief of Cao Qi's army, even we were frightened. Cao's army's logistics troops could not stop the tiger and wolf army. They burned down three major supply camps in less than three days."
"Awesome!" Ding Kui couldn't hold it in any longer. His grandfather was so powerful that no words could be too high to praise him.
"Hey, what does this mean?" Shaodian glanced at Ding Kui, "You can be called brave and handsome like this? Then I deserve it too!"
Ding Kui quickly shut up and sat down obediently.
"Commander Cao Jun was shocked and immediately ordered to cross the river to return reinforcements. Three more legions, an army of 300,000, gradually retreated to Xishengzhou. Your grandfather led the eighth legion to ambush by the river, attacking one by one, one after another.
Defeated all the Cao army that came back for reinforcements." Shaodian Run's eyes showed a proud look.
The commander-in-chief of the Ninth Legion is very proud of the Eighth Legion. This alone is a feat that is difficult for future generations to achieve. The two legions are at odds with each other. In order to compete for the title of the most elite in the kingdom, no one cares about the other.
If you don't like it, no one can convince the other person.
"If we were in our country, I could try to fight continuously like that, but I couldn't do it in Cao State!" Shaodian Run admitted very honestly, "That battle inspired everyone's bloody spirit, and in the end, under the leadership of the late king,
He drove away all the invading enemies and won a complete victory, and his reputation as a brave commander was born."
"I'm convinced! Your grandfather was my idol at that time. However, the number of members of the Ding family was reduced sharply due to this battle, and all members of the clan who served in the Eighth Army suffered casualties. Because they took the lead in the battle and worked hard without caring about their own lives, the Eighth Army was able to
This laid the foundation for victory. Later, your father was unable to join the army because of this, and he could not become a soldier, leaving only regrets." Long Yuan added one of the reasons for the decline of the Ding family.
The blood in Ding Kui's body seemed to be ignited instantly. He stood up and shouted: "The Eighth Legion, the courage to protect the country!"
He seemed to see the elders of the clan shouting slogans and attacking the enemy under the guidance of the big flag. Their indomitable momentum was unmatched.
Shaodian Run and Long Yuan also seemed to have returned to the past, marching forward carrying military flags on the battlefield of swords and swords, and singing military songs loudly together.
Finally, Ding Kui helped Long Yuan leave the palace. Shaodian Run was so drunk that he lay down in the flower hall and did not see them out.
The Long family's carriage left the palace, and Long Yuan, who looked drunk, immediately sobered up. How could the Dominant Knight get drunk so easily?
"Prince Runjun is indeed old. He can't afford to get drunk with this amount of wine." He was trying to save some face for Shaodianrun. If he walked out of the door sober, he would embarrass his old friend later.
"It's a pity that I wasn't born in that era, and now I realize that Kui is just a rookie." Ding Kui was still excited.
"Hahaha, it's different! The Shaodian Kingdom has gone through a hundred years of war, and only a few characters have emerged after years of hard work. Who can surpass those four commanders now? I think you still have some hope. The flying general is only one step away from the flying commander.
Level." Long Yuan is more optimistic about Ding Kui.
"Kui will be laughed to death by grandpa when he goes back. By the way, I just mentioned the two handsome men, where is the handsome man Zhi?"
"Old Bei? Didn't I just say that he devised the plan to lure the enemy deep into the river? He was the one who instigated your grandfather to cross the river. The rest of the war was all according to his plan. All the military staff admired him. He
He became the only staff commander recognized by the military, the wise commander."
"Where's the other one?"
At this time, Long Yuan's face darkened and he said unhappily: "He is a traitor, I don't want to mention him." Ding Kui closed his mouth knowingly.
After returning to the Long Family Courtyard in silence all the way, Ding Kui couldn't help but ask: "Would His Highness the County Prince forget what he said today after drinking too much?" He was referring to Shao Dianrun's promise to the small court.
"That's not true. Your grandfather is the person he admires most and least. He will not embarrass you. He will definitely do what he promised." Long Yuan patted Ding Kui on the shoulder, "On the contrary, it's you, Qian
Don’t make it difficult for him.”
"Understood! Please rest assured that Kui will resist the pressure from Zhenjing City."
Yangyuan Prefecture is different from Nanma Prefecture. Its northern border is Xijiang. If it declares its submission to the small imperial court, it will directly face the revenge of Zhenjing City. The Xijiang Navy will not listen to Shaodian Run, and maybe the Fourteenth Army Corps will also make changes.
"Well, after all, I served as the commander-in-chief of the 14th Army Corps. Hu Qin won't mess around for my sake. He just needs to block the threat from the north."
Only then did Ding Kui learn that Long Yuan had also been the commander-in-chief of the army.
"Logistics supplies are in the hands of the local government, right? How dare the Fourteenth Army Corps seize the official warehouse? Well, I will transfer the Twelfth Army Corps, plus the National Protectorate Army, and the Nineteenth Army Corps will be transferred to Nanzhao Prefecture, which can basically ensure that
Yang Yuanzhou is safe."
The army in Nanzhao Prefecture had no combat missions and could be deployed at any time. Ding Kui simply transferred the 12th Army to Yangyuan Prefecture. First, he had to protect the safety of Jianyang City. His own forced capture of Nanjing City was a lesson that could not be learned by others.
Gone.
Long Yuan reminded: "The headquarters of the Nineteenth Legion is still in Kangcheng County, and the last batch of ordnance has not been transported there. We might as well postpone the change of defense."
"Okay, Kui understands."
The next day, the steward of the county prince's palace came to see Ding Kui and left after a secret conversation for half an hour. In the afternoon, Ding Kui said goodbye to Long Yuan and returned to Nanjing through the teleportation gate.
"Oh, there is such a past between Prince Yangyuan and grandpa." Shao Dianluan happened to be in Nanjing and was very interested in the affairs of the previous two generations.
"Now he can declare his surrender to you at any time and make his brother king, thanks to the kindness left by his ancestors. We are one step closer to rescuing his brother."
"Great! Does grandpa have any friendship with Prince Shanyuan and Prince Hexi?"
(I can’t stop thanking Ha Jiaojie, Shan Danmei, Youshu Yisheng and Situ Panpan for the red envelopes)
