In 4875, the first order from the Commander-in-Chief's Office was to stop attacking Qi State, cancel the Shanyuan Prefecture War Zone, Yan Ge returned to the Commander-in-Chief's Office, and the First, Second, and Third Army Corps returned to their original positions.
There are several considerations for lifting the war with Qi State first. First, Qi State is the farthest away from Nanzhao Prefecture, and it will take a long time to prepare for organizing troops to go south again. Second, Qi State's naval forces face the waters of Shanyuan Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture alone.
The division is at a disadvantage, and its territory is vulnerable to attack by the Shaodian Kingdom; the third is that the Qi Kingdom is full of internal conflicts, and Qi Shuang's main force has been consumed by more than half but still has a certain strength. It is not easy for Qi Shao to win him; the fourth is to stabilize Qi.
The country can prevent the Tongbei Empire's attempts to penetrate southwards.
There are no plans to cancel the Nanzhao Prefecture War Zone, but coach Jiang Xi returns to the capital to report on his work, and the dominant knight Gu Jun temporarily serves as the acting coach.
The Eighth Army will return to its original station, and the Ninth Army will switch defenses with it.
The Fourteenth Army Corps returned to its remote station, the Kong Family Army, the Haitian First Army and the Lindi Second Army Corps were cancelled, and all soldiers returned to their places of origin.
The Eleventh and Twelfth Legions canceled their original stations and immediately rushed to Hailin Prefecture to suppress the local pirates. The distant stations were replaced by the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Legions.
The First Army Corps of Zhongdi and the First Lindi Army stayed temporarily in Nanzhao Prefecture, nominally assisting the Ninth Army Corps and the local defenders in deterring the enemy, but in fact monitoring the Water 6 Army of our country that had not yet returned home.
The smoke that filled the sky over Nanzhao Prefecture gradually dissipated, but the threat of war has not been completely eliminated. The state of war between Shaodian State, Meng State, and Cao State has not yet been officially lifted. The seemingly friendly country is also watching from the sidelines and garrisoning.
Once Nanzhao Prefecture's military strength is empty, trouble may occur.
The 20th, 21st and 22nd legions are currently stationed in Nanzhao Prefecture, and the upcoming 9th legion and the Zhongdi 1st and Lindi 1st legions are temporarily stationed. The 600,000-strong army consists of the main legion and regular
The composition of legions and local legions restored the ancient system when the country faced serious threats. The royal family, localities and nobles jointly defended the country.
This ancient system gave birth to the largest number of minor nobles in the history of the Shaodian Kingdom. Due to the continuous fighting of local legions, a large number of families with outstanding military exploits emerged. The Senate could not promote their military ranks and could only reward these families with titles.
Shaodiandan made the decision to restore the ancient system to tell Meng and Cao that your invasion of Nanzhao Prefecture is not over yet. Shaodian is not so easy to bully. If you can come, we can go. Although in
The country needs to recuperate and recuperate, but with the stimulation of knighthood, the fighting enthusiasm of nobles and commoners will not diminish at all.
Liangchong did not return to Nanqiu County after the New Year. According to Zhang Jie, he and Ding Kui hung out in Juyang City every day. Because the commander of the 21st Army Corps ordered to station in Nanmao Prefecture, the 2o1 Division was officially stationed in Nanqiu County.
, and Juyang City is the closest to the enemy country, so it is reasonable for the division's direct elites and staff to be permanently stationed here.
"Hahaha, it seems that the ship doesn't need to be turned in." Ding Kui received the notification of the war zone earlier than other cities, at least not as late as the county town.
"This requires Mr. Zhang's consent, and the warship needs a home port to maintain it. The place where it is docked is not safe, and it might be washed away by a strong tide." Liang Chong came from a family of staff officers, but he didn't only know about 6 battles.
"That's right, and you have to use it secretly. You can't hide it from others by tinkering in that place." Even Feng Liang thought more carefully than Ding Kui.
"If you want to keep it, you can't use it. If you want to use it, you can't keep it. Is that what you mean?" Ding Kui asked.
Liang Chong and Feng Liang nodded together.
"Home port?" Ding Kui touched his chin, "Giant Sheep City has been established for so long, and the nearby river banks have been surveyed. No suitable place for docking large ships has been found. Maybe there is a place that no one has visited."
"You mean the Great Swamp?" Liangchong responded the fastest.
"Well, even if there is a suitable harbor in the swamp, no one will build a dock. The key is that it cannot be used, but if ordinary people can't use it, can't we use it?" Ding Kui's idea is different from others.
"How long will it take to build a deep-water dock in the Everglades?" Feng Liang kept shaking his head.
"There is no need to build a pier, as long as it can hide a ship. Don't make a decision in a hurry. Ding Yu and I will go take a look."
Ding Kui thought of the big grassland and had more thoughts in his mind.
"Anyway, I promised President Huan to survey the area along the river first." He made a decision.
There are many rivers and lakes in the great swamp, and there are many waterways connecting the Tongyuan River. Ding Kui believes that it is not difficult to hide a large warship.
"I think you should write a letter to Ao Yan." Ding Kui drove away Tao Mu, Ding Cai and Ding Fen, leaving Ao Yu alone.
"Why are you writing to her? I can't write in human characters."
"You can write words that the Dragon Clan can understand, so I won't worry about others discovering your secret. I want to see her. If she agrees, she can come here to find us. Some things will be clearer if asked in person." Ding Kui did not see her. Guo Ao Yu wrote.
"Wouldn't anyone find out if I wrote dragon language?"
"I haven't seen you for so long. How many people in this world have seen Dragon Language? No one will recognize you when you write on the street. You are from overseas. You won't be recognized if you write some weird words. People doubt it."
Anyone in this world who has studied dragon language is not an ordinary person, and it is basically impossible to see the letter Ao Yu wrote to Ao Yan.
"Oh, let her come? She may not listen to me." Ao Yu was unsure. Ao Yan's status in the White Dragon Clan was higher than his in the Qinglong Clan. She said she was here to find him, but who knew she would come? What to do.
"She will come. The future White Dragon God will not come to the human world for no reason. She clearly has your clues. Her purpose is either to find you or to find me, unless she really has the leisure to waste time in Xiaxi Town. "Ding Kui has thought about this issue for a long time.
Ao Yu's letter to Ao Yan did not go to the Magic Guild, nor did he contact Lu Ji through the Lu Chamber of Commerce. Ding Kui gave it to someone from the Intelligence Department to send it secretly. It is better to keep Julong's family letter a little secret.
The last time they went to the Everglades, Ding Kui and Ao Yu walked south. This time they found a small boat and went down the river.
Merchant ships passing through the swamp are usually dozens of meters away from the shore to avoid attracting the attention of some low-level monsters, while mid- to high-level monsters will basically not get close to the river bank.
The riverbanks within the Great Swamp are not obvious in some areas. They are all under the water and cannot be seen without diving into the water. Human ships will sail according to the existing routes, and only special ships will deviate from the routes.
Ding Kui and Ao Yu deviated from the course. With Qinglong in their boat, they could sail accurately along the river bank.
"There's a river ahead!"
Looking from a distance, Ao Yu seemed to be sitting on the water dragging the boat forward, while Ding Kui was lying leisurely on the boat with the paddle on the back of his head.
"Oh, this place has just entered the Great Swamp area, which is more than 20 miles away, but it is far enough away from Juyang City. It is not difficult for people to move around. Material transportation is a problem." Ding Kui's mental power has been paying attention to the situation nearby, Huan Qiao explained.
The map needs to be implemented.
"Well, this river is quite deep. The water is more than ten meters deep." Ao Yu floated effortlessly on the water.
"The terrain here is very low and you can't hide the warships. Turn in and take a look. I see the water plants over there are quite tall." Ding Kui stood up.
"Stand still!" Ao Yu shouted, a torrent spurted out from under his butt, and he led the boat forward.
"Wow, if a group of blue dragons serve me, I can create an invincible navy!" Ding Kui had little stars in his eyes.
"Come on, what qualifications does a puny human have to let a noble dragon pull a boat? If you have a group of blue dragons, you can just start fighting. Why do you need a navy? Are you sick?" Ao Yu suspected that Ding Kui was mentally abnormal.
.
"Damn it, you're the only one who's sick. I'm just imagining it. Your Qinglong's talent in the water element is too strong." Ding Kui was jealous.
Ao Yu raised his head so much that his chin almost turned to the sky, and said proudly: "Of course, we are the first creatures of the water element. We are born to be the darlings of the water element. No creature can defeat us where there is water."
"Hey, waterfowl!" Ding Kui pointed to the sky and said.
The arrival of the boat startled a flock of waterfowl.
"What's so strange about water birds? There are also many flying birds in the sea."
"They are afraid of us, which means there are fishing boats here. The fact that fishing boats come here proves that there should be no monsters nearby."
Ding Kui was accustomed to making inferences, and Ao Yu couldn't even accept it. He couldn't think of anything with his little brain capacity.
"Then what? Even if there are monsters, we are not afraid." Ao Yu did not understand Ding Kui's intention.
"Haha, let's hide the big boat here. People have to go in and out. You can walk on the ground here, but my subordinates can't. The best way is to take a small boat. Since there are fishing boats here, we can pretend to be fishermen to go in and out.
A dozen fishing boats will be enough for us."
"Okay, if you can solve the problem, we won't run away in vain." Ao Yu thought that he didn't have to do anything himself anyway.
"Let's keep going and see where this river leads?" Ding Kui took out an animal skin and marked something on it with a pen.
The boat walked westward on this fifty- to sixty-meter-wide river for about half an hour. Ding Kui felt that the scenery on both sides of the river looked familiar and asked, "Brother Yu, do you think this place looks familiar?"
"Well, I think I've been here before." Ao Yu and Ding Kui had the same feeling.
Ding Kui flew up from the boat, convinced that no one would come to the Everglades at this time.
"Look, isn't there a big grassland over there?" He flew dozens of meters and stopped in the air.
Ao Yu's butt seemed to have a spring under it, and his whole body suddenly bounced up and jumped into the sky.
"Yes, we checked here."
Ding Kui and Ao Yu walked around for a while before leaving the grassland. At that time, they noticed the river but did not go far. They did not know that it could be connected to the Tongyuan River.
"But the river bottom has become shallower. If it is a large warship, it can reach the intersection ahead." Ao Yu pointed to the intersection of several rivers ahead.
"It is indeed a pity, but it can also prevent the enemy from attacking the grassland through waterways." Ding Kui looked at it from a defensive perspective.
