"Although the Guanhua County Guard is my son-in-law, the control may have fallen into the hands of the Gongsun family, and it is normal not to obey my orders. Shao Dianxi expressed helplessness.

Guanhua County Shou Jiang Fang is his son-in-law, Jiang is a famous family in China, although there is no national duke-level high lord, but there are several marquises, including Changyun Marquis, Changxin Marquis, etc., Jiang Fang is the contemporary Evergreen Marquis.

It's just that Changqing Hou became a civil official, mixed a Guanhua county guard under Shaodianxi, and married the daughter of the governor as his wife.

"Is Jiang Fang familiar with the Gongsun family?" Ding Kui was not familiar with the Jiang family, let alone Jiang Fang's situation.

"Very familiar, the relationship between the Jiang family and the Gongsun family is very good, and the forces of the two families in the military often support each other. Shaodian Xi looked lonely.

He can't say that his son-in-law put himself along, how would people know that he was actually cornered by Ding Kui at that time.

"That's right, Gongsun Mi can think of occupying Guanhua County in such a short period of time, and it can't be done without local support. What does the Gongsun family think? Do you also want to learn from the rebellious Yang family?" Ding Kui figured it out.

"They don't dare, now they can rank in the top three in the Senate, they can occupy a seat in the Commander's Palace, what can they get by taking refuge in the rebel king? Under Shaodian Yong, there are Yang Zhao and Xuanyuan Xiong, and Gongsun Da is at most the third in the past, so it is better to stay in Zhenjing City and be a loyal minister. ”

Shao Dianxi can't fight, but he has a lot of experience in political struggle, otherwise Ding Kui wouldn't have come to talk to him about this.

Ding Kui had just conquered Nanjing City, and there were still many places waiting for him to clean up in Nannuma Prefecture, so Guanhua County could only put it aside first, and first guide Qian Yilin to fight with Zhenjing City and Xingbang City.

Shaodian would definitely condemn the small imperial court for forcibly occupying Nanjing City, cut off the portal between the Magic Federation and the Southern Demon Branch as soon as possible, and also ordered Shaodiantai to rush back to the capital to rest.

Strangely, Shaodian Yong, who indirectly helped Ding Kui to attack Nanjing City, also publicly condemned Ding Kui, resolutely opposed the Protector Gong's blatant raising troops to attack the state city, and did not recognize Shaodian Luan's right to rule Nannuma Prefecture.

This involves traditional issues, the nobles of the duke and below are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of a state, only the nobles of the county king and above are eligible, Shaodianluan is a married princess, not up to the level of the county king, the superintendent needs to be appointed by the king, and it is impossible for Shaodianyong to recognize Shaodianfeng as the king.

It is one thing to let Ding Kui take Nannuma Prefecture to contain the capital of Zhenjing, and it is another thing to recognize the kingship of Shaodianfeng, and political veterans like to do this kind of contradictory thing the most.

All the ministerial-level units and individuals of the small imperial court began to move to Nanjing City, the Military Command Department and the General Staff Department were the fastest, Ding Kui himself was there, and Jiang Xi also took all the staff officers to Hengfu City when he learned that Shaodianluan was going to Hengfu City.

"It was so prescient to build a magic tower, no wonder you were in a hurry to borrow money to build it. Jiang Xi praised his nephew when he met.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to take down this place so soon. Ding Kui is very honest, "The rebels gave up attacking Zhongwangzhou, the Gongsun family plotted against Guanhua County, Shaodiantai was in a hurry to break the siege, they united to give me a chance, I had to laugh." ”

If Shaodiantai divided a group of men and horses to join the naval army and the local army to set up a military camp, and its main force cruised nearby, steadily fighting to delay Ding Kui's siege, then Ding Kui really could not capture Nanjing City before March. Next came the rainy season, the difficulty of attacking the city increased, and Ding Kui had to pay a greater price and take longer to enter the city of Nanjing.

"There are prerequisites for luring the enemy into making mistakes, and you did a good job. Jiang Xi thought of his son and transferred his love for his son to Ding Kui.

"The rainy season has arrived, there are still five counties to solve, and the army is no longer ready to stop, so the second uncle should revise this year's action plan. ”

A large amount of grain, grass and ordnance have been transported to the front line, and it is a pity that the soldiers and horses that have finally been assembled are sent back to their original station, and Ding Kui wants to pacify the entire Nannuma Prefecture in one go.

With a state as a base, he can support more troops and have more confidence to challenge Zhenjing, and Shaodianguo's voice is indispensable to him.

The General Staff Department immediately convened staff officers at all levels to discuss this year's military action plan.

The chiefs of staff of the various armies, as well as the main staff officers, rushed to the city of Nanjing, and the existence of the portal helped many people save time.

Two days later, the General Staff convened an enlarged military council, focusing on how to pacify the five counties that had not yet submitted to the small court.

"Wenguo County, don't worry, our Kong family needs to obey Zhenjing on the surface, and in fact will not carry out any orders that are unfavorable to the prison country, which is a tacit understanding between the Kong family and the prison country. Kong Ren first explained for himself.

"That's right, the affairs of the Confucian family are easy to handle, I have a few suggestions: first, Wenguo County should organize forces to protect itself, and strictly prohibit all foreign forces from entering; second, Wenguo County should not prevent economic and trade activities, including those from Zhenjing City and Xingbang City; third, when you pay the national tax, you must follow the designated route, and I will arrange people to rob. "Ding Kui has already figured out a way to solve Wenguo County.

Kong Ren smiled bitterly: "Looting taxes is a bit fake, right?"

"Shaodian doesn't believe that he can send someone to check, if he can find out that I have his surname. "Ding Kuicai doesn't care if people believe it or not.

Nannuma Prefecture is too far away from the capital of Zhenjing, and the Prince Regent is powerless in many things, if he can manage it with his hand, he will not be controlled by Ding Kui.

"The General Staff did not intend to use troops against Wenguo County, first Changtai County, and then from east to west, to solve the remaining three counties one by one. The biggest problem now is Guanhua County, Zhenjing City has authorized Weiguo County to assist in the defense of Guanhua County, whether to attack it or not?" Jiang Zhi spoke on behalf of the General Staff.

"It is impossible for the Gongsun family to devote all their efforts to help defend Guanhua County, and they do not have a regular army, so the 20th Army Corps can solve Guanhua County, so leave this task to us. "Liang Gong attended a meeting of the General Staff for the first time, and he may be the first person in the Liang family in the past ten generations.

"It's not time to grab the credit, although the Gongsun family doesn't have top-notch talents, but there are their children in each legion, and they have great influence in the country, so it's not appropriate to start a war with them rashly. After the retirement of the former chief of staff of the 20th Army Corps, Tie Qibin was designated by Yi Sheng to succeed him.

Most of the people present looked at Jiang Xi, but this person who was qualified to challenge the Gongsun family did not mean to express his position.

At this time, Ding Kui had to decide that the Jiang family would not lead the war against the Gongsun family.

"Guanhua County is not a noble territory, it has to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the authorization of Zhenjing City is invalid with me! The use of aristocratic private armies to assist in defending places is only applicable when foreign enemies invade, foreign armies are foreign enemies, and rebels are foreign enemies, we are not! Our dynasty has no intention of encroaching on the territory of any nobles, but the places that belong to the imperial court must be managed by the imperial court, and Guanhua County must be taken!" Ding Kui said loudly.

He dared to challenge the authority of the Prince Regent, how could he care how powerful the Gongsun family was, if he couldn't even settle with a prince, how would he enter the capital in the future?

"Well, in order to deter the Gongsun family, the Eighth Army Corps will be the main one in attack Huajun, and the Twentieth Army will assist. ”

As soon as Jiang Xi came forward, no one came out to fight, who dared to say that his troops were stronger than the first elite of the military?

"Okay! The plan of the General Staff will first be sent north to Changtai County by the Protector Army, and the commander of Hua Song will lead the naval army to respond, and it is expected to be ...... by mid-April." Jiang Zhi immediately laid out the plan and outlined it.

Hua Song had already reached an agreement with Ding Kui in private, as long as Shaodianxi fell, he would openly submit to the small court, and there were more than 30,000 carefully selected sailors in his hands.

In view of the emptiness of troops in these places, there is no need to use too many troops, there is a naval army of the Protector Army and Huasong, and there are two or three regular divisions to assist, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated one by one.

The base camp of the Nanmara Prefecture Navy is in Changtai County, and Changtai County refuses to submit to the small court, partly because of Hua Song and his subordinates.

Changtai County Shou never expected that the Protector Army attacked the county city, and the navy in charge of the city defense suddenly turned against the water, and opened the city gate under the leadership of Hua Song to welcome Lei Feixiang into the city.

At the same time, the 111th, 112th, and 113th divisions suddenly attacked the southwest of Chiba County, completely cutting off the connection between Chiba County and Guanhua County.

In mid-April, the combined forces of the Protector Army and the Navy Army attacked Gyeongdong County from the east, and advanced at a rate of one city a day, reaching the county seat in three days, and the county guard saw that the situation was not good, and the city surrendered.

The rest of the cities also followed suit, and took the initiative to go out of the city to surrender.

Not all city lords swore allegiance to the capital of the town, and many did not accept Shao Dianxi's last order because of the strong pressure of the county guards.

The last armed forces of the three northern counties all fell in Beidaying, which can be regarded as doing their best for the capital of Zhenjing, loyalty can't resist the sword after all, and accepting the rule of the eldest prince is not considered treason, anyway, the current king is not sensible, and he is a half-sister who is close to Shaodianluan, how can he be closer than Shaodian.

When a person's mind begins to come alive, he can find all kinds of reasons to explain his actions, and not all the brainless people can convince him to surrender.

Before Lei Feixiang and Hua Song conquered the entire Qingdong County, someone from Chiba County came to contact them to discuss the pre-battle uprising.

also found the 111th, 112th and 113th divisions, Ding Cai came forward and became the representative of the 12th Army Corps, and accepted all surrenders as Ding Kui's "chief dogleg".

At the end of May, the 8th Army Corps sent heavy troops to press on the eastern border of Guanhua County, while the 20th Army Corps deployed troops on the southern border.

On this day, Ding Kui came to Zhennan City and met with Gongsun Festival under Jiang Li's arrangement.

"What do you mean? We secretly helped you capture the city of Nanjing, what do your troops want to do now?" Gongsun Jie didn't even say polite words, and directly pressed Ding Kui.

"Guanhua County is the place of the imperial court, so it is naturally under the control of the imperial court, and my people haven't done it yet, just because you didn't prevent me from fighting Nanjing City, otherwise I would have started fighting a month ago. Ding Kui was not polite to the other party.

"You!" Gongsun Jie pointed at Ding Kui, "Are there any rules?"
