Jiang Xi walked to the big map and gestured and said: "The rebel army has lost grain and grass, and more than 400,000 horses are more than 1,000 miles away from the nearest supply place.

The rebel naval division was defeated in Xijiang, and the control of the river fell into the hands of our army, and it was difficult for the rebels to recapture it in a short period of time, and it was difficult for the rebels in Zhongwangzhou to support their comrades, and Jin Man could expand the results of the battle in the southern defense line.

In addition, our army of 300,000 horses and horses controlled Liyang County, so that the rebel army of the Xuanyuan Department could not echo, forming a state of being divided by our army. ”

The senior generals present did not lack strategic vision, and Jiang Xi understood it at all.

"The problem is that there is also pressure on the logistics supply of Liyang County, and once the war stalemates, the grain route to Liyang County must be opened, otherwise Ding Kui will still have to withdraw. ”

Xun Qi did not lack grain and grass in his hands, but there was no troop escort, so it was good to say that it was transported to a safe area, and it would need to be escorted by a large army when it was transported behind enemy lines.

The supplies that Ding Kui had stolen behind enemy lines were enough for more than a month, and the 1st and 10th Army Corps were in short supply.

Due to the loss of the base camp of the northern defense line, the army in the north was all supplied by Zhenjing, and there were magistrates on the road to assist in transportation.

Ding Kui can threaten the rebels' grain routes, and the rebels can also threaten his grain routes.

"Leave this problem to Jin Man to solve, the closest unit in his theater to Liyang County is the Eighth Army Corps, and the logistics materials can be sent to the base camp of the southern defense line. ”

Jiang Xi smiled slightly, as if to say: You understand.

"Please send a military order, Lord Jiang. Xun Qi grabbed Jiang Xi to implement this matter.

Regardless of whether the war is stalemate or not, the logistics department has to solve the logistical problems of the troops, and Liyang County has concentrated four corps, and he will have to solve it sooner or later.

As long as the military command department gave the military order, he sent the logistics materials to the base camp of the southern defense line, and there was nothing left.

Jiang Xi looked at the commander, it was not his turn to call the shots.

"That's it. Shao Dianzhang agreed, only his signature will be on the military order, and only he can call the shots about the logistics supply at the theater level.

The base camp of the southern defense line is currently safe enough, Jin Man is in charge, and the 13th and 15th Army Corps are rotated to rest and recuperate, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be dispatched at any time to protect the grain route.

The military order was issued, Ding Kui could also receive it, and Liyang County could now contact all the counterinsurgency troops, which could be regarded as a temporary move for the counterinsurgency general.

"I also want to end the war as soon as possible, the problem is that I have to wait for the retreat of Luo Kui, or come to Liyang County. Ding Kui also knows about logistics.

His situation is only a little better than that of Luo Kui, but he is fortunate that the Liyang Basin has abundant forage, which can fully meet the needs of war horses.

The Tenth Legion is based on this, and can attack any rebel-occupied territory in the state.

"How much enmity Liu Shuai has with Yang Kui, why do you have to block it in Baise County? If it weren't for this, Yang Kui might have already reached the state border. It's hard for you to do it. Shaodianbao knew that Ding Kui did not order Liu Yi.

"The Ministry of Judge Advocate asked again, I have ordered General Dou Dou Meal to come here to explain, the most difficult thing is that he is missing, to put it mildly, I can still carry this matter when he dies, and now it is really difficult for me to do this. ”

Liu Yi did not obey Ding Kui's order, withdrew from Baise County, and went to Liyang County, and the Ministry of Military Justice investigated clearly, and he would definitely be convicted of a felony, and his widow might even be implicated.

If Ding Kui has the heart to protect him, he can tell the Ministry of Military Justice that he gave Liu Yi a secret order, and Liu Yi voluntarily carried it out in person, and the matter will be over.

However, it would be difficult for Liu Yi to do it if he didn't die, in case he escaped back and took the initiative to confess that he had violated the military order, then Ding Kui would have to bear the charge of deceiving the officials.

"Well, let General Dou tell the Judge Advocate General's Department himself. "Shaodian bud is not good to say much.

Dou Dou Meal commanded the rearguard troops, accompanied by a large number of grain and grass, and the marching speed was relatively slow, and there were still two days away from the headquarters when he received Ding Kui's military order.

However, Liu Yi's whereabouts are unknown, she still has a little hope in her heart, and she is not in a hurry to see Ding Kui.

The rearguard troops did not arrive, the 1st and 10th Army Corps did not arrive, but a small army arrived at Liyang County first.

"Master, all members of the pro-soldier squadron are here. ”

It turned out that Ding Ji had arrived, and there was a squadron of more than 100 personal soldiers.

When Ding Kui and Shaodianluan set off for the capital, Ding Ji also ordered his own soldiers to set off north, and later found the headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps and followed Jiang Zhi for a period of time.

Although the Juggernaut Knight did not need personal soldiers, Ding Ji insisted on fulfilling his duties and must rush to the boss's side.

"Well, yes, I'll give you a task, go to Xiping County and escort Mr. Liu and Mr. Kong over. Ding Kui finally had his hands free to form a counterinsurgency headquarters.

Seeing that there are more and more troops directly obeying his orders, one person can't be busy, so he needs Liu Yu and Kong Ren to come over to help, and by the way, they will bring the two of them.

Commanding across corps is not an easy task.

A legion is very simple, leave everything to the corps commander to do, just take the time to check it.

Two legions or more, and there are more problems.

The regular army has strict military discipline and strict hierarchy, and no unit is allowed to act without the order of the supreme commander.

When stationed at the commander-in-chief's side, the commander-in-chief's approval is required for the movement of troops of more than 1,000 people, and the commander-in-chief's approval is also required for military affairs such as receiving food and ordnance.

Even if the commander gives an order to the corps commander to "manage himself", the staff officer will make a copy of the military order issued by the corps commander and hand it over to the commander for archival management.

Ding Kui received a large stack of order documents in Xiping County.

Unless the troops are ordered to go out on a mission, a lot of military affairs will be generated every day.

The commander can handle the military affairs himself, or hand it over to the staff officer, or at the very least, he has to hand it over to the personal soldiers, but he can't ignore it.

The happiest person in the pro-soldier squadron was Li Fei, and finally someone had someone to share the chores, and all the things that Ding Kui couldn't do before were left to her.

It is not enough to rely on personal soldiers, and the 1st, 5th, and 10th Army Corps will be stationed in Liyang County immediately, and they will not be able to cope with it if they are not professional staff officers.

The small court of Nannuma Prefecture has been dissolved, and Ding Kui's main subordinates are going to serve in the capital.

Fei Ze, as the chief intelligence officer, has already gone to the Protector Mansion, and still leads the affairs of the Security Bureau and the Espionage Department.

Ding Zhong was on the northern border, and together with Qianyou, he assisted Hui Meng in forming a local army.

Mu Sen and Ding Chuan returned to Nanqiu County to preside over the affairs of the territory.

Ding Kun wants to guard the Earl's Mansion and is the main protector by Jiang Jing's side.

Zeng Jian stayed in Nannuma Prefecture to deal with the affairs related to the Knights' Guild.

Shaodian Fei stayed in Nannuma Prefecture and served as a captain of the Guardian Army, temporarily in charge of the state's armed forces.

Qian Bu remained in Hengfu City, leading the development of weapons and guarding the arsenal.

Only Liu Yu and Kong Ren temporarily stayed in the Protectorate Mansion, waiting for Ding Kui to summon them.

The general of the counterinsurgency wanted to appoint subordinate officials, Ding Kui was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to appoint, Liu Yu knew very well, so he pulled Kong Ren to the capital to wait, and then he was summoned by the princess of the auxiliary country, and simply lived in the Houguo Mansion.

"Yes, the subordinates will bring their own soldiers?" Ding Ji felt that one squadron was not enough.

"Well, go and ask Shaodian Bao for a cavalry brigade, and the rest of the soldiers will stay. Ding Kui naturally wants to keep his henchmen.

Ding Ji was originally a team leader, and he didn't need an assistant to command a brigade.

After the troops entered the northern pass of Liyang County, Dou Soybean Meal rode a fast horse alone to the headquarters.

"It's all the general's fault! The husband was worried that the rearguard troops would be slow and easy to be caught up by the rebels, so he arranged for volunteers to stay behind the palace and delay the rebels, but the last general failed to dissuade and did not persuade the husband to stay behind the palace in his place. "She's going to take all the blame.

Ding Kui looked at Dou Dou Meal for a while, and felt that she was really sad, so he asked: "Since there are more than 10,000 volunteers who are willing to stay in the palace, is there no division commander who is willing to command? Liu Yi stays, who will be arranged to take over the command of the Fifth Army Corps?"

"That's ......," Dou Soybean Meal was ready to say.

"Well, you write a detailed report on this matter and give it to the military judge who is with the army. The commander will inform the commander-in-chief that it was the commander's mistake to order the Fifth Army Corps to be broken, and Liu Yi's approach is in line with the tactical essentials implemented by the military conference, and the main responsibility is the commander. ”

Dou Dou Meal hurriedly said, "No, my lord, this is not your fault. ”

She also knelt in front of Ding Kui, knelt on the ground and begged Ding Kui to take back her life.

Ding Kui lowered his face and said very seriously: "You have already disobeyed the military order once, do you still want to disobey my order again?"

He has the right to behead Dou Soybean Meal now, a subordinate who has repeatedly disobeyed orders.

Of course, his order was to exonerate the Fifth Army Corps and share most of the responsibility, and Dou Dou Meal and the Fifth Army Corps would only usher in a painless punishment.

"Yes!" Doudou Meal lowered his head in shame.

The coach's kindness can only be appreciated, and she is not qualified to live up to it.

"Hey, the Fifth Legion started with Du Shuai, there are no soldiers who are afraid of death, and Ben Shuai can't let the Fifth Legion be ashamed. You and your wife are familiar with the affairs of the Legion, and are well loved by the soldiers, and you will temporarily act as the Commander of the Legion until the appointment is made in the Commander's Office. ”

The commander of the corps was not appointed by Ding Kui, and this matter had to be recommended by the General Staff, approved by the commander-in-chief, and issued a military order by the Military Command Department.

Jiang Xi has stepped down as the commander of the corps, and the Commander's Office has not yet officially appointed a commander to the Eighth Army Corps.

Shaodian Tai went to Liyang County first than Chen Yu.

"Well, the Tenth Legion fought well. Ding Kui received the battle report, and Shaodiantai led the army to attack the rear guard of Luo Kui, killing thousands of people and burning a batch of baggage.

"The last general was ashamed and failed to annihilate the enemy army. Shao Diantai's expression was a little unnatural.

"Hehe, the past is over, this commander only looks at the merits, should you still hold grudges, right?" Ding Kui saw Shaodiantai again, and he inevitably sighed in his heart.

"The last general will not dare. Shaodiantai's face flushed.

"It's okay, I don't care about holding grudges. If you don't want to be under me, I can transfer you to the rear or to another war zone. Ding Kui thinks it is necessary to make it clear.

In the battle outside Nanjing, the casualties of the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army were not small, and it was normal for the main general to have a pimple in his heart.
