"Well, this, there is no division commander vacancy in the Eighth Army Corps for the time being. Jiang Xi, the commander of the General Staff, is still the nominal commander of the corps, and I am the honorary commander-in-chief, and there may be a lack of commanders in the future. Ding Kui thought that Gong Wei wanted to enter the Eighth Army.

"Hahaha, the elite legion can't defeat the battle, the pressure is too great, if I was young for more than ten years, I might want to enter the Eighth Legion, but now it's better to be stable. Gong Wei just wanted to try Ding Kui's mind.

If Ding Kui agreed, he would have to think about whether this person's words were reliable.

Then again, few people know that Jiang Zhi is actually commanding the Eighth Army Corps, which is tacitly approved by Ding Kui and Jiang Xi, and they are inseparable from each other to command, and there is no suitable candidate, so Jiang Zhi can only be allowed to maintain the current situation.

After negotiating with Gong Wei, Ding Kui came to the outside of Qingxi City, and the 72nd Division did not enter the city, but was stationed outside.

"Young master, the chief of staff is about to arrive in Raodong City, I ask to see you. "Bloomer has just received a letter from the Eagle.

"Well, let him wait for me in Rao Dongcheng and don't run around. Ding Kui was not very happy.

Jiang Zhi is the supreme commander of the Eighth Army Corps, and he should stay in the headquarters and should not come to the front line. The magic transmission of Duping County is not reliable, and the letter eagle transmission is easy to intercept, in case his location is revealed, it will be very bad for the enemy to send elite troops to sneak attack.

Rao Dongcheng is next door to Rao West City, it didn't take long for Ding Kui to fly over, and when he got there, Jiang Zhi was already waiting in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Commander, forgive me for sending belated New Year's wishes, and may you take Nannuma Prefecture this year. ”

"Will it take a year?" Ding Kui shook his head, "It's too long, I want to end this war as soon as possible and let the people of Nannuma Prefecture live a stable life." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a war maniac, starting from the age of eighteen to join the army, experienced the invasion of the Three Kingdoms, the invasion of his own country, the counterattack on his own country, the capture of the southern part of Nannuma Prefecture and other battles, captured soldiers to the commander of the war zone and other officers at all levels, his hands are stained with the blood of I don't know how many, can be called the youngest veteran of the battlefield.

However, Jiang Zhi believed what he said, and said: "As far as the current strength is concerned, there are difficulties, the newly occupied land needs troops to stay, a county needs at least two divisions, five counties is a legion, and the training camp needs time." ”

"Well, I'd like to figure out how to do this. Ding Kui also knows.

"If the war is fought urgently, the casualties will be large, and the pension will be large, but in fact, it is not much worse to fight steadily. Jiang Zhi guessed the reason why Ding Kui was anxious.

"Yes, it costs money to ask for foreign aid, so it's really about the same. "Ding Kui is really thinking about the economic account.

Now he owes a lot of debt, and he can save it.

Although his business empire can be described as "making money every day", there are many places to spend money, and the military aspect alone is a bottomless pit, and he does not earn much without spending, and if this situation continues, he will go bankrupt sooner or later.

The Eighth Legion has been immobile for so long, there are economic considerations, and the dispatch of elite legions will cost more money and food than ordinary legions. In the history of the Shaodian Kingdom, there will be no major events in the history of the elite legions, most of them are related to money, and the consumption of ordinary legions is only a quarter.

"It's good to polish the new army in Yanling County, and use up the troops on Shao Dianxi's hand to almost do it again. This time, we can advance to Wenguo County and completely cut off the assistance of the Gongsun family, unless the Gongsun family tears its face and makes a move. Jiang Zhi proposed a plan.

Guanhua County is sandwiched between Duping County and Wenguo County, and the Kong family is actually half of Ding Kui's alliance, and taking Guanhua County can block the passage between Weiguo County and Nanjing City, and Wenguo County will not let the people of the Gongsun family borrow the road.

This plan did not take Gongsun Mi's reinforcements into account at all, and it was no longer a question of whether to defeat Duping County, and it was necessary to continue to advance north.

"The battle line is a bit long, and the threat of the Gongsun family can never be shaken off, so it's a bit risky to do so, let's take Duping County first. ”

Ding Kui didn't want to take any chances, and it was big news that this matter got out, and none of his enemies would believe it.

"Also, don't run around alone in the future, if I am the commander of the enemy army, I will kill you first. He criticized.

"Yes!" A warmth rose in Jiang Zhi's heart.

"Well, I officially appoint you as the chief of staff of the Duping County Theater of Operations, with the right to command all the troops in the area. Ding Kui dropped this sentence and ran away.

He has no shortage of generals who can fight, but he lacks a chief of staff who can take charge on his own, unlike the Zhenjing City Commander's Mansion, who grabs a lot of them, and now he can use Jiang Zhi. Liang Chong barely passed but wanted to get married, have children, and continue the family inheritance; Kong Ren lacked some heat and needed time to hone it; Liu Yu and Fei Ze had their own duties, and they were needed for more important positions, and the rest were not enough to serve as chief of staff.

In this regard, he is very envious of the Zhongwangzhou Theater, where there are many talents, Liang Gong and Jin Man are top staff officers, not to mention the erratic Zhishuai, known as the first wise man in the army.

As soon as the rebels in Zhongwangzhou were discovered as soon as there was an abnormality, Gu Jun immediately consulted with Jin Man: "The rebels have obviously reduced their strength, and their intentions are quite obvious, I hope we will set our sights on Nannuma Prefecture, why don't we push the boat down the river?"

"Now the problem is that once we intervene in the war in Nannuma Prefecture, Zhenjing City will cut off our supplies, and you and I won't even be able to pay our salaries. "Jin Man is worthy of being a wise and handsome man, and he can see it more thoroughly than Gu Jun and Lianggong.

"I heard that Ding Kui issued treasury bonds, and he borrowed a large amount of money before he started it, so the expenses of one more legion should be able to cope with it, right?" Gu Jun was very well informed.

"Well, let's ask him, if he has a plan, you can go over and see, half of the 21st Legion is a local soldier, and it is not advisable to stay here for too long. Jin Man didn't know much about the new thing like national bonds, and felt that it would be more prudent for Ding Kui to make a decision.

It was very convenient for Gu Jun to contact Ding Kui, just let Feng Liang find a magic guild to summon him, Ding Kui's senior brother knew some secret language.

Ding Kui's reply is just two words, welcome!

The 21st Army immediately assembled and took all the materials allocated by the Zhongwangzhou Theater to Nannuma Prefecture, leaving not even a single stake, and walked thoroughly enough.

Most of them will not look back, they helped Ding Kui fight Shao Dianxi, the commander's mansion must be removed, and the follow-up military salaries and materials will not be available.

Their first stop was Pingfu County, from the original station to Zaogou County, and then west to Pingfu County, so that they could bypass Weiguo County and put a little pressure on the Gongsun family.

After five days of marching, the main force accompanied by Gu Jun finally arrived in Zaogou County, not because they didn't want to go faster, but because they wanted to loot some gifts from local nobles along the way, Gu Jun was a careful manager.

When I came to Zaogou County, the problem came on the same day.

"Qiqi Marshal, there are two people who claim to be from the Gongsun family, your old acquaintance, and ask you to go out of the camp for a while. ”

Gu Jun told the heralds: "Please wait for them, I'll go out immediately." ”

The old acquaintances of the Gongsun family, aren't they the two who came to me last time?

He didn't have to go out to see who the came, and the two knights who challenged him were called Gongsun Chong, and his companion was called Gongsun Slow.

Outside the gate, two middle-aged men who were also wearing purple robes stood calmly on the side of the road, and when they saw Gu Jun coming out, they deliberately turned their heads.

A trace of anger flashed in Gu Jun's eyes, and the other party obviously wanted him to say hello first, so that he would be a little weaker in terms of momentum.

"Ahem, who should it be, it's really an old acquaintance. He spoke to the other side.

The taller man said, "Some people don't seem to remember the beating." ”

The dwarf replied, "Do you want to teach him another lesson?" or I'll come." ”

The two still didn't look at Gu Jun when they talked.

"Gongsun Chong, don't deceive people too much, if it weren't for the military affairs, you might not be my opponent. "Gu Jun doesn't want to waste time on opponents who don't deserve respect.

"Yo he! The strength has not risen, but the temper has risen. Okay! I'll ask Commander Gu again today for his best moves. The tall purple-clothed middle-aged man turned around and took a step forward towards Gu Jun.

"Do you want to challenge Gu Shuai?" then you have to ask me if I agree!" a tall young man strode out of the door.

Gongsun Chong and Gongsun Slow's pupils shrank, and they seemed to know the identity of this young man.

"Ding Kui, why are you in Gu Junying?" Gongsun lowered his hands, his eyes and mental power locked on the young man.

Gongsun's family will naturally have a portrait of Ding Kui, as long as Ding Kui is not easy to face, anyone who has seen the portrait can recognize him.

"The Gongsun family attaches great importance to me, and anyone who hasn't seen me can recognize me. Ding Kui came to Gu Jun and stood still, "Gu Shuai is my old boss, and I am very reasonable in his camp."

This time, I invited Gu Shuai to lead the troops to avenge my daughter, what do you mean by intercepting here? Could it be that the Gongsun family wants to meddle in the grievances between me and Shao Dianxi?"

Gongsun Chong's expression became unnatural, the Gongsun family may not be able to withstand the anger of the Jiang family, Ding Kui's Jingjing matter is an excuse, where does he dare to face it.

"What evidence do you have to prove that the king of Nannuma sent someone to assassinate your daughter?" Gongsun next to him slowly opened his mouth to relieve his companions.

"Oh?" Ding Kui's eyes rolled, "It seems that you know the inside story, could it be that you colluded with the bandits?

When Gu Jun heard this, he grinned inadvertently, secretly admiring Ding Kui's ability to mess around.

This kind of thing is not something that anyone can say or dare to say, and you must have enough confidence.

Gongsun was furious, pointed at Ding Kui and shouted: "You don't want to spray people with blood! How can you be suspicious of the Gongsun family! The words just now have seriously offended the Gongsun family, and you must apologize immediately!"

"It was you who said on behalf of the Gongsun family that Shao Dianxi had nothing to do with my daughter's assassination, did I force you to say it?" Ding Kui smiled contemptuously.

"When did I say it on behalf of the Gongsun family?" asked Gongsun Zhong and Gongsun slowly.

Cut, two fools.

Ding Kui easily deviated from the other party.

"Don't talk nonsense! I can represent myself and the Jiang family to determine that Shao Dianxi is plotting to kill my daughter! Who are you? Dare to open your eyes for that evil thief?"

"Me!" Gongsun Chong was grabbed by his companion, and the latter words did not come out, "Don't forget our purpose. Gongsun whispered in his ear.
