Yu Qian, who hurriedly entered the Kunpeng Imperial City with his robe, had an ugly face, and even Cao Jixiang, who saluted him, Yu Qian didn't have the heart to answer, but lowered his voice and asked, "How can Gonggong Cao let His Majesty be ridiculous in this matter?" There was a bit of reproach in the tone. And Cao Jixiang, who is usually most jealous of others calling him "father-in-law", doesn't care about this joint at all.

He smiled bitterly and led the way in front of Yu Qian, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is dictatorial, where can our family intervene?" Mr. Yu knew when he arrived, at this moment, Liu Youzhi kowtowed for I don't know how many, but he still didn't persuade him; Young Master Bin has also persuaded many times, alas......"

Because Ding Yi canceled the very inefficient office method of the court meeting, large-scale meetings have facilities similar to those of the Great Hall, and small-scale deliberations go directly to the official room, so Yu Qian rushed directly to Ding Yi's official room under the guidance of Cao Jixiang.

There were not many people in the spacious office, except for the relevant personnel who served as guards, that is, Ding Yi and Liu Ji, Li Dongyang, Yao Kui, Yang Shan, Yang Ding and other officials, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yu Qian coming over. After all, Yu Qian and Ding Yi have a master-apprentice relationship, and even if they are emperors, Ding Yi still respects Yu Qian very much.

"Good sir." Ding Yi was also annoyed by these disciples and ministers, and when he saw Yu Qian, before the latter could speak, he directly stepped forward and sat down with Yu Qian's support, and asked, "Mr. Yi has gone through several dynasties, can a student have the domain of a competent general?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment by his question, but he still nodded subconsciously, to say that Ding Yi can't lead the army to fight? So who dares to speak up today?

Seeing Yu Qian nodding, Ding Yi clapped his hands and smiled: "In this way, there is no need to discuss it again!" ”

A group of ministers and confidants. Immediately, his face was pulled down, and he said: "Your Majesty thinks twice!" His Majesty is the Son of Heaven. An can put himself in danger! ”

"Youzhi, the edict." Ding Yi didn't plan to dwell on this matter any longer.

"Self from Smyrna. The Taixi Daming Capital Administrative Region, the Mediterranean Administrative Region, and the American Administrative Region, all administrative affairs are handled by the Prime Minister; Du Ziteng was transferred to Smyrna and served as Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief. So it was settled, and there was not so much to do, and I took a company with me as an escort, and the other regiments of guards remained in Smyrna and were assigned by the gentleman. until I return to Smyrna. ”

After that, Ding pointed to the map on the wall and said to Yu Qian: "On the Ottoman side, according to our clues, we are shrinking our troops and clearing the wall. These 100,000 people. It wasn't for Smyrna. Therefore, it is unrealistic to wait for the decisive battle of the guards. They should have wanted to outflank Wang Shichang's six divisions. ”

"If it is not intercepted, he will complete the entire strategic attack, then the army of six divisions under Wang Shichang will have to be attacked on both sides when attacking Ankara!"

As Bayezet had estimated, Ding Yi could not sit idly by and watch the Ottoman army of 100,000 pass by.

Bayezet even said to Shi Pu: "My teacher he will stand up and take the initiative to attack you, don't ask why he did this." In any country, the record of heroes should be similar to this. If he doesn't lead his army forward to stop our army, then go around. The fake show is really done, swallow Wang Yue's six divisions together! ”

"What if Ding Rongcheng thinks we're attacking Smyrna?" Shi Pu is very cautious about this issue, for a person who goes to the country like this for revenge. He had to be cautious because he knew he didn't have many opportunities. If you want to achieve your ideals, then you must kill them with one blow.

Bayezet didn't feel any displeasure because of Shi Pu's direct tone: "Then. My teacher would also lead the army, and as a hero, he had a strong sense of mission and would not allow the capital to endure war. He is such a revered man, a man who has 10,000 reasons to be made into a statue, otherwise we would not have found only a dozen soldiers in Egypt who were willing to drive for us. ”

Shi Pu lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Caliph. But in Liangguang, it is really impossible to find people who are willing to stand on our side and deal with Ding Rongcheng. Not to mention, train the army for us and fight against Ding Rongcheng's army. In order to deal with Ding Yi, Bayesset sent men to Liangguang, and he wanted to find retired soldiers in Ding Yi's army.

But just as Shi Pu was not optimistic from the beginning, there was not even a single person, not a single person who was willing to come west.

It's not how high the consciousness of those veterans is, nor how they worship Ding Yi.

It's that the Chinese themselves have a complex of inseparability from their homeland, if it weren't for this, they might have followed Ding Yixi a long time ago.

More importantly, the Governor of the Four Seas encourages the reporting of such behavior, and once this kind of espionage is reported, then the money and goods given by the spy will still belong to the whistleblower, and the whistleblower will also be rewarded! And the republican organization is to let the fine work sent by Bayezid fall into the sea of the people's war, after they go ashore, there is basically nothing to hide, although the main responsible personnel have committed suicide by poisoning, so that the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, for a while, can not directly find the behind-the-scenes commander is the Ottoman Empire, but also let the spies hidden in the caravan to the east, nothing is spared.

So in the end, they could only look for people in Egypt who had been trained by the army under Ding Yi to train the Ottoman army.

"Go, my friend, I await you to get what you want, and get your revenge." Bayezet raised his glass to Shi Pu.

In fact, as Bayezet expected, Ding Yi immediately dismissed Smyrna after receiving the tip.

Ding Yi, with the strength of two newly formed divisions, remained in Smyrna and Ephesus; With two other divisions, he began to advance towards Philadelphia in central Asia Minor. Because if he doesn't attack immediately, then Wang Yue may be made dumplings! Therefore, it is unlikely that Ding Yi will wait for the army to assemble.

At the beginning of contact, the grenadiers of the two new divisions and the rifles of the cartridge bolts gave the Ottomans a relatively large amount of damage, and for Ding Yi, this was not unexpected, since coming from the west, the important thing was that he did not have enough troops to defend the territory he had conquered, not that he had a strong enemy that could not be attacked when facing the enemy.

As Bayezet calculated, the only one who can defeat Ding Yi is himself.

After several defeats of the Ottoman army, Ding Yi led two divisions, which can be described as morale.

"Sir Saint Wei is unpredictable, the enemy army will be crushed at the first touch! The students thought that the remnants of the enemy could be broken! Liu Ji, who came with the army, shook his head and danced with his hands, and he was so excited that he couldn't do it. He even thought that the battle with the Ottomans was ten thousand times better than a boring march, and at least the fall of the enemy one by one would make him feel less monotonous and boring.

And victory, victory is like a dose of poison, which excites Liu Ji and makes him forgetful.

Ding Yi shook his head: "No, I think the other party is very strangely defeated, although from the interrogation of the captives, there seems to be no problem." He stroked his short beard, pondered for a moment, and ordered Cao Jixiang, "Order the New Seventh Division to build fortifications on the mountainside, and the New Eighth Division will hold on to the spot and wait for orders." ”

They were now located in the mountains of the Anatolian Plateau, so there was no big problem in building the fortifications. But in this winter, a winter rain came unexpectedly. It rained so hard that even Ding Yi had to wear a rubber tarpaulin and stand in the muddy trenches and give all kinds of orders.

Because this is a newly formed division, more than half of the soldiers in it are black.

It is impossible for them to be as calm and calm as Rong Yishi, and to complete their work efficiently.

In the heavy rain, the soldiers of the New 7th Division began to be reluctant to continue building fortifications, they wanted to go to shelter from the rain, find a cave, or go to the woods, in short, just not stay in this damn trench.

"Send someone to inform Wen Fatzi immediately, the Ottomans are likely to take advantage of the rain to attack. The new Eighth Division must be on guard! ”

Then Ding Yi could only look at the non-commissioned officer and the platoon and company officers in the muddy fortifications, and kicked the black soldiers who threw down the sapper shovels and were about to run to escape the rain, and kicked them back into the trenches. This is the reason why Du Ziteng does not like to use black soldiers, in fact, black soldiers are not cowardly, they dare to launch a charge against a powerful enemy with no chance of victory.

But long marches, with their boring and monotonous drills, will kill the enemy faster than the blade of the enemy.

"Your Majesty, hurry up inside and take shelter from the rain!" Cao Jixiang came over with an oil-paper umbrella and persuaded Ding Yi.

The company that served as a guard with Ding Yi completed the construction of the fortifications shortly after the heavy rain arrived.

However, Ding Yi did not enter the headquarters that could shelter from the wind and rain as Cao Jixiang invited: "Lao Cao sent an order, anyone who leaves the position without permission and is unwilling to build fortifications will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed!" ”

There is a sense of crisis looming, Ding Yi is very keenly aware of this, on the battlefield, this feeling has saved his life more than once. The winter rains in the Anatolian plateau are so strong that no one can attack when the rain is in full swing. But what if the rain stops?

This question was not only thought of by Ding Yi, but also by Cao Jixiang.

In fact, it wasn't here that they thought about it, even though it was the first rain they had ever encountered.

It was because every time Cao Jixiang persuaded them, Ding Yi refused.

This time was no exception, Ding Yi was very calm, even in the pouring rain: "No, I'm not going anywhere." ”

Cao Jixiang was anxious: "Your Majesty! These two divisions used black powder rifles! After the rain, the rate of mute fire increased greatly, not to mention that the maintenance of those Kunlun slaves for firearms is not as good as that of Chinese soldiers, but I am afraid that not one of the ten branches can be beaten! ”

"And we have a hundred thousand enemies!" Cao Jixiang was so nervous that he didn't even know how loud his voice became. (To be continued......)
