Coincidentally, no book is written, Fan Yuzhen caught Sheng Ru, Lei Feixiang caught Hong Tao, one for each person, and they were equally divided.

The arrest process of these two people did not go well, Fan Yuzhen used the magician and Ding Cai, who claimed to avenge his sisters, and Lei Feixiang sent a special operations team to join forces with Dou Xiaoqi to fight the enemy again, and finally captured the two alive.

The county seat of Yanling was announced, and all the original local officials were imprisoned, and the new county was appointed by the prison state after the New Year.

Yan Lu was very unlucky tonight, and went to his mistress's house to disguise himself in order to avoid the military disaster, hoping to find an opportunity to sneak out of the county town after the war was over.

Unbeknownst to him, a middle-aged man with an expressionless face led a team of soldiers and horses to knock on the door of his mistress's house, pointed at him and said, "It's him, the chief catcher of Yanling County." As a result, more than a dozen strong crossbows were aimed at him, and he had to obediently tie his hands and arrest him.

The prison is still the same prison, but the former chief catcher has become a subordinate prisoner, and Yan Lu is horrified to find that some prisoners in the past have become today's prison guards.

After being put in a cell, he was beaten a lot, and if it wasn't for the arraignment, he would still be kneeling on the dung bucket.

"Strict law?"

Yan Lu looked up, and a slightly chubby man was sitting behind the criminal case, his clothes were obviously different from others, and he was obviously a big man.

"Down, low, small," his mind raced, "I am." ”

In the end, he chose a self-title that he thought was the most suitable, calling him a "subordinate officer" but not knowing the other party's military position, calling him a "humble position" but not a person in the army, and calling him a "villain" did not match the identity of the chief catcher.

"Well, ten lashes first. ”

"Oh, don't, my lord, do you recognize the wrong person?" Yan Lu didn't know this "big man" at all.

"I'm so annoyed, shout ten more lashes. The chubby man's expression became impatient.

Yan Lu immediately gritted his teeth, and let the whip dipped in salt water be whipped on his body, and there were bursts of heart-piercing pain. The middle-aged man who led the soldiers to arrest him also walked into the interrogation room and whispered a few words in the ear of the chubby man.

After the ten lashes, the chubby man asked, "I heard that you are quite prestigious, and you especially like to target people in Nanqiu County." ”

"Wronged! My lord, I, the villain really doesn't, the villain has never targeted the people of the horse master. Yan Lu secretly complained in his heart.

In the past two years, he has listened to the county guard, and he has indeed dealt with many people from Nanqiu County or who went to Nanqiu County to do business without permission, and he can't tell who he has offended.

"Hehe, huh?" the middle-aged man sneered, "You also want to move the people of the art troupe, and you don't care about the commander of Shaodian Fei, and now you dare to say that you are wronged?"

It's them!

Yan Lu suddenly remembered a troupe, "I, Xiao, the villain didn't embarrass them at that time! I don't believe you can ask the Shaodian Commander, someone is secretly sowing discord!"

"I was there at the time, and I knew your majesty, so I didn't need to ask anyone. "The middle-aged man is Xiahou Touch, who is wearing a mask, and this time he is responsible for collecting news from Yanling County.

"Huh?" Yan Lu knew that Xiahou was wearing a mask, but he really couldn't remember this figure.

"Then there is no need to interrogate. "The chubby man is Lei Feixiang.

"Spare your life! The villain didn't hurt them!" Yan Lu suddenly struggled excitedly, for fear that the other party would take him down to death.

"What's your name! I won't kill you yet, I'll send you to the art troupe later, and let them decide what to do with you. ”

Sheng Ru and Hong Tao ended up in the same fate, and after being beaten, they were put in a prisoner car and sent to Nanqiu County together with Yan Lu.

A special unit set out from the camp in Zhushan County and headed for Yanling County. They were a new local army made up of retired veterans who guarded the cities that had been annexed to the territory of the small imperial court.

Fourteen cities in Yanling County had been occupied by the small imperial court, leaving six cities on relatively flat ground to the north, and the scouts of the Protector Army had discovered the traces of the 10th Army Corps, and the newly arrived theater chief of staff, Kong Ren, ordered the attack to be suspended.

......

Xingbang City, Linhai Prefecture, a brand-new hall was completed, Shaodian Yong led several important ministers to visit the palace, and this is his meeting hall in the future.

"King, Ding Kui has made a move, it looks like he wants to take Nannuma Prefecture, and he should have gained a lot from going to his own country before. Yang Zhaonian saw Shaodianyong for the first time after the year, chatted a few words and began to get down to business.

"But our army is still assisting our army in Zhongwangzhou, and there is no sign of tearing up the alliance. Shaodian Yong first thought about whether his country would form an alliance with Ding Kui.

"Our own country can make separate bets, the point is that Ding Kui's efforts have stirred up the domestic situation, will the Zhenjing side let him go? The pressure on our army on the front line in Zhuwangzhou should be reduced a lot. Yang Zhao wanted to say another aspect.

"That's right! Ding Kui takes Nannuma Prefecture, and Zhenjing City will have one less state of money and food support, and the balance of strength will be tilted in favor of the widows, but will Ding Kui become our enemy because of this?"

Yang Zhao said: "Ding Kui is just a local force, and the Eighth Army alone can't get on the table, and it is his limit to take Nannuma Prefecture."

The key is to let him make such a fuss, other state pastors will inevitably have thoughts in their hearts, and if they have money, power and people, they may become the second Ding Kui.

Zhenjing City is at war with the two largest states in the country, and if something goes wrong in the four states in the east, the strength will be seriously damaged, and the kingdom will be all yours in the future. ”

"Is there a way for Lord Guogong to let Ding Kui take Nannuma Prefecture and not continue to expand?"

"Let the Zhongwangzhou Theater turn into a defensive state, only defend and not attack. Yang Zhao made a suggestion.

The rebels were defeated and retreated on the northern front of Wangzhou, and the southern front also moved back, and only in the Zhongwangzhou theater did they attack and defend each other to keep their original territory.

"You mean to let Ding Kui get more helpers?"

"Wang Ruizhi! The shadow of the Nineteenth Army Corps has recently appeared in the Zhongwangzhou Theater, they should go to Nannuma Prefecture, and there are also the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Legions, Gu Jun and Jin Man want to help Ding Kui more than deal with you. ”

"Well, yes! ”

Military power is basically in the hands of Yang Zhao, but if you want to change the established strategy, you need Shaodian Yong, who is the nominal supreme ruler.

......

The 71st Division moved, and what Chen Liwu, the commander of Duping County, had been worried about, finally became a reality, and the Eighth Army began to show its fangs. After the commander of the cavalry division drove straight in, the 72nd, 73rd, 78th, and 80th divisions advanced in four directions, and the southern part of Duping County was fully invaded.

The next day, Chen Liwu heard the bad news again, and the 199th and 200th divisions attacked from Shibu County, and the troops attacking Duping County had an additional regiment number. Even if Gongsun Mi told him that reinforcements from a legion would arrive soon, he thought that this time it would be more than lucky.

Ding Kui only used tens of thousands of people to defeat most of Yanling County, and now there are as many as seven divisions and regiments in Duping County, and they are also the most elite troops, and Gongsun Mi may not be able to stop it if he brings another legion.

On another day, Ziliubo Gong Wei announced that Qingxi City supported the prison country and opened the city gate to welcome the 72nd Division. At this point, Maoling City, Qingxi City, Xiayang City, Xinyang City, Raoxi City, Raodong City, Ningqiao City and Jiuqi City fell into the hands of the small imperial court, and the reinforcements had just arrived in the northern part of Duping County.

In fact, Gong Wei had long wanted to take refuge in Ding Kui, but he had been hesitating, the traditional concept was not so easy to reverse, and the nobles had always respected the capital in their hearts, until the Senate asked to convene a temporary aristocratic meeting to discuss the matter of donating the title.

He felt that he had been insulted, that the exploits of his ancestors had been desperately fought would be replaced by money, and that the honor of the nobility would no longer be passed on.

Ding Kui warmly welcomed this, Shibo had an old friendship with the Wuhou and the Gong family in the Senate, and he was not worried about Gong Wei's deception and became a spy under him, and he personally went to Qingxi City to express his importance to Gong Wei.

"Uncle Gong, you should have informed me in advance of this matter, fortunately, the troops below did not mess up and harmed your territory, and I didn't have the face to see you. "He treats Gong Wei like an uncle.

"The main thing is that Chen Liwu is keeping an eye on you, and I saw that you were not in a hurry to take Duping County before, so I didn't contact you. I didn't expect you to suddenly change your strategy and attack Duping County first, this action is too fast, I don't have time to inform you at all. "Gong Wei has a hard time.

His territory is on the state border, the west is the territory of the Gongsun family, the south is Pingfu County across Raoxi City, and the east is under the surveillance of the county guard, and he did not dare to act rashly before the 72nd Division came over.

Ding Kui was right to think about it, he had to put himself in the shoes of others, so he asked with a smile: "Hehe, how do you see that I have changed my strategy? ”

"The fight started on the first day of the new year, and the battle suddenly turned from the west to the east, and the Gongsun family is afraid that they will not react until the next year, and they will not be able to support Chen Liwu in a short time, this is the best time for you to capture Duping County. "Ziliubo is not a general, somewhat strategic.

"Uncle Gong is willing to lead the troops?"

"What?" Gong Wei was caught off guard, "Can you trust me?" asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

Under normal circumstances, he would not ask so directly, and it is difficult for people to answer.

"Hahaha, Uncle Gong underestimated me. Before I came, I had already thought that it would not be in line with the rules to reward you directly, either to ask you to serve as a civilian, or to ask you to take charge of an army, and the court needs a talent like you to serve the country. "Ding Kui's attitude is very sincere.

Gong Wei thought seriously for a while, and said, "If it's convenient, give me a division first, I really can't do a civilian job." ”

"Yes, but you need to go through a process, and it will take about three months before you can take over the troops. ”

"What process?"

"You should know about the Giant Sheep Military Academy, right?"

Ding Kui saw Gong Wei nodding and continued: "Now that the imperial court's troops are equipped with a large number of new weapons, you need to spend time in the military academy to learn about it, during which the commander of the legion will understand your situation, and then the military academy will recommend you to serve in the army."

In your case, there are certainly many commanders of interest, and then you need to think about which legion to go to. Of course, you can also get to know the commanders first. ”

"Oh, it's interesting, but it's the best arrangement, I'll go to the military school. By the way, can I first find out about the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army?"
