"Hahaha, my parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and my senior brother is the one who knows me." Ding Kui said with a smile.
Li Hao ran down the city tower and reported to Ding Kui: "Captain, all the enemy troops on the west gate wall have been cleared, and the leading troops of the 206th Division have arrived one mile away."
"Well done, let's go meet the 2o6 Division." Ding Kui gave Li Hao a thumbs up.
The first person of the 2o6 Division to rush into Qinglan City was a majestic body with a head that was a little taller than Ba Xi. When outside the city, he kept saying hello to the special operations team members on the top of the city.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm here to help you!"
Long Kun rushed to Ding Kui and then pulled the horse back. He could control it easily from running to stopping, showing his excellent riding skills.
Ding Kui smiled slightly and said: "How can you tell that I am anxious? Let's be clear, who wants to help whom?"
Long Kun's eyes rolled around, and he saw signs of fighting on Ximen, but he was very calm now, which was different from what he thought when he rushed over.
"I am a noble of the Meng Kingdom, and I demand the treatment of noble prisoners of war."
A golden prisoner of war was sweating profusely and protested loudly to the soldiers who pushed him.
"What's going on?" Ding Kui asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency, your soldiers broke my arms, and I ask for medical treatment. As your prisoner of war, I take the initiative to ask my subordinates to surrender and actively cooperate with your army's arrangements. Is it not too much to ask for reasonable treatment?"
Gong Yupei's eyesight was not bad, and he could see that Ao Yu was Ding Kui's personal soldier, and Ding Kui was the highest commander here. He accurately positioned himself to strive for the situation that best suited his own interests.
"Who is this person?" Long Kun's eyes were bright and he was very interested in Gong Yupei's identity.
"Li Hao, bandage him." Ding Kui felt that Gong Yupei's words made sense, "He is a treasure, and I plan to give you a great gift."
"Hahaha, brother-in-law is very interesting. I didn't marry my sister to you in vain. I accepted this favor. If anything happens in the future, you can just send someone over to tell me."
Long Kun's inheritance can be said to be the best among all the people present. This guy's eyes are very sharp, and he can understand Ding Kui's meaning after a little careful consideration.
"Then the Lord of Qinglan City will be handed over to you. Take him to occupy the City Lord's Mansion and surrender the remaining defenders, so that you can fight without any loss."
"Okay, brothers, quickly accept the generous gift from Captain Ding. Gong Yupei, as long as you listen to me honestly, I will ensure that you are handed over to the Senate intact, not a hair on your head." Long Kun also guessed.
Find out what the golden captive wants most.
Li Hao was very agile with his hands and feet. He quickly splinted Gong Yupei's arms, fixed the fracture, and handed him over to the people of Long Kun's brigade.
When Deng Biao led his army into the city, Ding Kui and his men were still guarding the west gate.
A staff officer came to Ding Kui and said, "Master Deng, please ask Captain Ding to come to the city lord's palace to talk."
"I humble my position and obey orders, but I dare not bother you as much as I ask you to do."
Ding Kui sat firmly on the horse and saluted. He didn't have to dismount when he saw anyone except the king.
The 2o6 Division did not encounter any decent resistance when they recaptured Qinglan City. It can be said that they regained a city without spending a single soldier. The division commander Deng Biao was in a good mood. He finally had something in his hand since he entered the Nanzhao Prefecture War Zone.
Decent credit.
Since the establishment of the 21st Army Corps to this day, almost all the achievements have been made by the 2o1 Division. The 2o6 Division can now pat its chest and say that it is the second in command of the Army Corps.
"Your Majesty, Ding Kui would like to see you." The soldiers came to report.
"Please." Deng Biao was drinking a bowl of hot soup. He had only had one bite of hot food since last night.
"Ding Kui, the captain of the first brigade of the 2o1 Division, met Master Deng." Ding Kui bowed and saluted.
Liang Gong rushed to Zhenbeiguan in the early morning, and the first order from the chief of staff was to promote Ding Kui to the rank of captain, replacing the seriously injured Xue Chong, and concurrently serving as the squadron leader of the "Ding Kui Squadron".
"Without courtesy, let's sit down and talk. Have you had breakfast? You can also have a bowl of hot soup." Deng Biao did not put on the airs of a superior officer.
"Thank you, sir. I have had breakfast for you. I admire you for being busy with military affairs and forgetting to eat and sleep."
"Haha, feel free to do it with me. You are the glory of the legion and Gu Shuai's beloved general. In the future, your achievements will be higher than mine. I will still need your help in the future."
"Lord Deng is making a joke. You are a mighty general of the kingdom, and you have led your troops to achieve unparalleled achievements. How can this junior dare to talk about glory in front of you?"
"Well, not many of the younger generation are as humble as you. This time I ask you what you mean," Deng Biao said and went straight to the topic. "After this battle, are you going back to rest or do you have other plans?
"
Ding Kui's brigade is not under the control of any nearby division. To command them requires orders from Zhang Jie or the corps level. Since they cannot command others, their position on this battlefield is very embarrassing.
"I'm going to give you a piece of credit for my humble job. I wonder if you dare to take it?" Ding Kui's lips curved up into a meaningful smile.
Squeak, Deng Biao took the last mouthful of hot soup, threw the bowl to his own soldiers, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is it possible that you can still cheat the port city?"
Ding Kui followed him to the map, pointed to a point in the southeast of Port City, and said: "It's not that, it's here, the Tuofeng Mountain Pass."
"The Tuofeng Mountain Pass is different from other places. Behind it is the important grain garrison area of the Meng Army. Taking it down not only threatens the life of the Meng Army, but also cuts off the grain roads of the five cities in the west of Nanqiu County. Not only is there a heavy troop garrison, but nearby
There is also a large army surrounding it, so it is more difficult to break than Nanqiu County City."
Deng Biao never expected that Ding Kui would actually propose to attack the Tuofeng Mountain Pass. He did not believe that his men were capable of taking this important military area, nor could Ding Kui's brigade.
"Occupying the Tuofeng Mountain Pass will cause chaos to the Meng Army's position, completely disrupting the enemy's deployment in the occupied area, and forcing the enemy to engage in a decisive battle with our army at the Tuofeng Mountain Pass, Nanqiu County City and Juyang City.
To put it another way, it can also force the enemy to change important grain storage areas, which will not only extend the transportation line but also contain the enemy's navy, further establish our army's strategic offensive, and compress the enemy's strategic activity space.
It can be said that there is no chance of a frontal attack on the Tuofeng Mountain pass, but what if we go around to the back? Sir, you should know that the humble bodyguard is now a great martial artist, and he suddenly attacks a small pass by surprise, hehe."
Ding Kui pointed out the key points and stopped talking about it. There is no need to explain in detail to a division commander, he will naturally make a decision.
Deng Biao folded his arms on his chest and stared at the map with his tiger eyes, but did not make an immediate decision.
The pass of Tuofeng Mountain is not big. It can accommodate about 10,000 people at full capacity. However, the pass lacks water and can supply at most 5,000 people for long-term garrison. Once the external reinforcements cannot come in and the logistics supplies cannot be provided, the 2o6 Division will take
It is also easy to get trapped when going down the pass.
"Ten thousand people entering the Everglades is no joke." Deng Biao was worried.
"How does your army compare to the people of Giant Sheep City?"
“Do you have anyone who has walked that road?”
Of course Deng Biao knew about the evacuation of the people from Juyang City. The deeds of Zhang Xun and Qi Nan were reported to the entire army, and no one in the commander-in-chief's office knew about it.
"There was a survivor who didn't have time to evacuate the enemy-occupied area. People from the Intelligence Department protected him. He is currently in a village in Qinglan City."
The advantage of Ding Kui's other identity was revealed at this time.
"I almost forgot that you are still the commander of Huben. This position is equivalent to mine." Deng Biao patted his head, "This matter is worth a try, but it requires Gu Shuai's approval. Without the cooperation of the army, we can take the Hump Mountain
The pass is useless."
"That's natural. You are truly Gu Shuai's beloved general."
Ding Kui not only understood the situation of the enemy, but was also familiar with the situation of his own people. Deng Biao had followed Gu Jun all the way up the ranks. He had been Gu Jun's subordinate since he joined the army and was one of Gu Jun's confidants.
The 2o1 Division has the advantage in ranking. In fact, the 2o6 Division has the best troop resources. The combination of Weiguo County and Beilin County is considered the strongest in Zhongwangzhou. Deng Biao's division is in Gu Jun's eyes
The most combative.
"Gu Shuai estimates that someone inside has leaked information about you. This time he will go behind enemy lines with ten thousand of my men, just in case the information is leaked." Deng Biao was still hesitant.
"This humble position has been considered, but based on Meng Jun's reaction, the mole should not be in the 21st, 22nd and Zhongdi 1st Army Corps. In fact, we don't know our course of action, otherwise the town of Beiguan will not stop.
With a force as small as 15,000 men, no one within our legion will leak the news."
"Okay, I'll send a message to Gu Shuai right now. You need to find the survivors of Juyang City first. As long as he agrees to lead us, the matter will be half done."
Deng Biao's strategic vision is no worse than Ding Kui's. He will know whether he can fight as soon as the conditions are laid out. This battle is going to be successful. The 2o6 Division's contribution will immediately surpass that of the 2o1 Division. Even if Ding Kui's brigade is involved, the biggest
The weight is still on him.
After Ding Kui left the city lord's palace and returned to the military camp in the city, the 2o6 Division sent troops to take over the defense of the west gate, and the special operations brigade could rest and recuperate in the city.
"Sir, what should we do with Qin Shou's family?"
Fang Qingguo restored his original appearance and visited Ding Kui. It turned out that she was a young woman, about one or two years older than Bai Qian, with willow eyebrows and an oval face. Her beauty did not live up to the name of Qingguo.
Ding Kui was a little dazzled when he saw her, "Grandma, after staying in the army for a long time, you will really get hungry and thirsty, and you won't be calm when you see a beautiful woman." He was cursing himself secretly.
"Well, Qin Shou died for the kingdom after all. Treat his family well and arrange for them to live in other states. If they stay here, they may be hated by others."
Qin Shou died in the chaotic battle to capture Zhenbeiguan. In the last period of his life, he did not betray his motherland, which can be regarded as a trace of his conscience.
Fang Qingguo noticed Ding Kui's reaction and was quite pleased with him. He deliberately took a step closer and said, "My lord, you can do whatever you want. Your humble position is entirely up to me."
Damn, if you tease me, be careful and you'll get angry.
Ding Kui felt like a mirror in his heart, and he took advantage of the trick and stretched out a finger to hook Fang Qingguo's chin, "Find the survivors of Juyang City. If the matter is done, I will reward you heavily."
