Chapter 532 [South Road Difficult to Ping]

Chapter 532 [South Road Difficult to Ping]

"I want to kill him ... to kill him ... I want him to die, I want his life, I want him to die ..."

In the inner chamber of the court, the young Garcia was still shaking. His clothes had been soaked with rain and his head was wet on his forehead.

He looked pathetic at the moment, like a bird shaking in the wind and rain.

In the inner room, all the shì had already retired, and there was only the old prime minister Salenelli. The old man stood there, looking at the emperor who murmured to himself, calmly took a blanket from the side of the couch, and put his hands on the emperor's shoulder.

The old man knew very well that what happened today was a blow to the emperor!

Such a blow, such a fear, is even far past the time when the rebels broke the city!

Such a mutiny completely tore off the so-called "auspiciousness" and "imperial power" of the emperor who was already weak! Thoroughly weaken the emperor's weakness, incompetence, imperial power, and violent 1ù in the broad daylight!

The royal prestige swept the ground, almost forced into a corner by a general bī!

Under such a thorn, the young emperor was afraid that it would really collapse.

The 1uan army has withdrawn from the palace-to reassure Saronelli a little bit that Adrik did not take the opportunity to make more and more excessive requests. He originally thought that Adrik would take the opportunity to take over the imperial city defense. Fortunately, Adrik did not do this. The 1uan army completely withdrew from the imperial city, and the imperial city returned to the control of the imperial army.

but……

What made the prime minister sigh is, can the current Yulin Army be trusted?

When the 1uan army was forced, it was the Yulin army who opened the gate of the imperial city and let the rebels enter. When the 1uan army rushed into the main hall square, when bī forced His Majesty, only two or three hundred men stood faithfully under His Majesty.

Such an imperial army ... can no longer be trusted by the royal family.

Really ridiculous!

Now that the empire is in sight, there are only two or three hundred people willing to die for His Majesty.

As for Adrik—became a “Protect Marshal”, we must know that such a title has never been obtained since the founding of the Empire! Marshal protects the country, conquers the emperor's military affairs at home and abroad, and has the right to save all the troops in the empire, and to serve in the army! Such authority cannot be assumed by anybody!

But he really did.

And after the end of the soldiers, Adrik did not act like an emperor to make a gesture of guilt, as he had expected—this straight guy, wouldn't he even disdain for a simple gesture?

He just asked his Majesty to issue another secret order.

And this secret order is the most worried thing about the old prime minister now!

"Call the Duke of Minas back to the capital!"

※※※

The order for chasing down the rebel army to the south has already been sent out. Following the order, the order was the first and most severe and urgent order of the imperial ministry: Jin Ling.

The golden order signed by the emperor himself, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the Prime Minister of the Empire represents the supreme authority of the Empire!

Such a gold order was sent to the army of insurgents heading south, and unless he immediately and directly countered the Duke of Minas, there would be no reason for him to resist such a supreme order.

As for the counter ...

Adrik believed that even if the Duke of Minas was really ambitious, he would never get there now. He has just traveled south a few days. Although the commanders of the sixteen troops were dismissed and took over military power, it was not enough for such a short period of time to really submit the entire army to submission. If you want to really rebel, even if his confidant is willing to follow him, how many of the army's generals would follow him to do such a crime of copying and destroying the house?

In the sent-in gold order, the wording was extremely harsh, reprimanding the actions of the 16 commanders by the Duke of Minas in one breath. This is indeed an overstep of power, even if it is a military commander and has no power Dismiss so many frontline commanders before getting authorization from the military! !! Such an approach is difficult to be justified both in reason and in law.

Jin Ling has already commanded, ordering the south rebel army to be stationed immediately, no further south! The commander-in-chief Duke of Minas immediately retired from his military post, and returned to the emperor to meet the emperor and defend himself afterwards!

At the same time, the empire's former General Rodrion Corps Ruhr moved south to take over the commander of the rebel army.

The summons sent more than ten riders in one breath, more than ten highest orders were sent, and Ruhr was accompanied by his accompanying officials to prepare to go south from the capital.

Ruhr was accompanied by more than 20 subordinate officers, all of whom were transferred from the city guards and the Central Army. They were prepared to take over all command power once they took over the South Rebel Army.

In addition, there is a cavalry **** from a squadron in the city.

※※※

Although it can be said that everything is ready, Ruhr still beat the drums when he was out of town.

I do n’t know why, he always had some bad foresights. The accompanying officers were all U-tuned loyal to Adrik, and the **** cavalry of that squadron was also netbsp from the city; but ...

※※※

Going south from Osgilia, Ruhr and his team only headed the road. A squadron of fifty cavalry was fully armed, plus Ruhr and the accompanying twenty officers. , With the emperor's own order.

After traveling south for a day, the whole team was non-stop and under the strict orders of Ruhr. Ruhr himself was full of energy. He is a fine man, and he has sent more than ten scouts to explore the road in front of him, but only one day's journey. Even before he ran out of the Empire Region of the Ottoman Empire, he really encountered what worried Ruhr The worst situation!

The cavalry exploring the road, there was an accident near the road in front, and a dead imperial cavalry appeared under a tree next to the road. Wearing the costume of the Central Army, it was already dead. Several arrows and bodies were in his body. He fell under the tree, and apparently the person who killed him had no interest in burying the corpse. It seemed that he left the corpse by the road on purpose!

After receiving the news, Ruhr rushed up with someone. When he arrived at the scene, he just glanced to the extreme with a look!

He recognized that the deadly Central Army cavalry was one of those missionary envoys sent from the capital to the south before his departure!

These commanders of the army sent more than ten riders at one time, but some people died here!

You know, this is not yet within the scope of the Ottoman Empire! The distance from the imperial capital is just a day's journey! At such a close distance to the emperor, the killing of the messenger in the army is so bold!

"Master Duke ... you acted so fiercely this time ..."

Ruhr murmured in his mouth, and his face gradually became fierce. He took a deep breath, looked at the people around him, and then ordered the team to continue forward.

In the event that the army was killed in the middle of the road, the entire team had already noticed the danger of this trip, and the cavalry responsible for the guards were even more vigilant to be fully alert.

Just a few hours away, there were two corpses on the road again. Ruhr looked at it, and it turned out to be an army officer sent before!

It was only one day after Osgilia, and I actually saw three dead soldiers. Now I want to come. Although the messenger sent earlier has more than ten rides, but ... who can go to the south, I am afraid ...

"Order, the team stopped!"

Suddenly Ruhr gave such a strange command.

The officers around him, everyone looked dignified, no one spoke, everyone just looked at Ruhr.

These officers are all transferred from the Central Army. It has been a long time in the army. Naturally, there are some careful thoughts. I saw three consecutive commanders who were killed by personality in the middle of the road. I can guess how much it is. wonderful.

Someone intercepted the envoys in the middle of the road. Naturally, they did not want the orders of the imperial capital to be transmitted to the southern conquest army in the south ...

In the end, what kind of person deliberately used such a ruthless means to try to cut off the connection between the imperial capital and the Southern Army? The answer ... I'm afraid that many people don't understand it, but they dare not think about it!

"The whole team turned around and we went back to the capital!"

Ruhr sighed, his look was ugly.

I can only go back to the capital!

Even Ruhr didn't expect that the Duke of Minas did such a fierce decision!

You know, the Duke of Minas already has an army in the south, and those who hid the messenger hidden on the road leading to the south must be the heirs of the Duke of Minas-most importantly, these heirs of the elite, It must be a force that the Duke of Minas had reserved before going south!

You know ... At that time, before the Duke of Minas went south, there was no mutiny in the capital!

At that time, the Duke of Minas had already left such a fierce backhand, and sent someone to start killing military envoys directly on the road, then there was only one explanation!

From the very beginning, the old duke had already lost his life, and made up his mind to disregard all the consequences. He was so utterly utter, leaving no room for himself and no way out!

In other words, the moment the Duke of Minas took his army south with Osquilia-he was actually reversed!

Originally, Ruhr and Adrik's idea was to send people south to the army to take over the army immediately after the mutiny, calling the Duke of Minas to return to the emperor, thinking that as long as the action was fast, the time was bad, the Duke of Minas returned I don't know that the capital has been mutiny ...

But now, they both underestimate the determination of the Duke of Minas! The old man had no intention of delaying or holding other hopes at all. The first moment he led the army south, he was ready to counter-attack!

No matter what your emperor is, whether your emperor is mutiny or not, anyway, he was reversed at the beginning!

In this case, Ruhr knew that if he wanted to take such a few dozen rides and ran to the south to take over the officer, it was a dream!

Now that the old man has made clear the rebellion of the chariots and horses, and even dare to kill the emperor, what else is he afraid to do? His dozens of rides ... just don't worry about running to the south safely, he will be severely intercepted halfway ... even if he has the life to run to the south, the old duke will never give himself any chance, and will directly Ten rides are gone!

The old man acted fiercely and made a good effort, but Ruhr knew deeply.

"Go back to the imperial capital." Ruhr took a deep breath, his face cloudy.

If you want to regain the military power of the South Conquest, it is impossible to achieve it in a peaceful way.

I do n’t need to force myself to go south to find death in these dozens of rides, or go back to the emperor to find a way, it is best to ... from the emperor's defenders, tune an elite army, lead the army south, and threaten the Duke of Minas with the army . After all, the old duke has just cleaned the army and has not really completely controlled the army in the south. As long as he moves south with his army, the old duke would not want to fight against him, and all the troops below would not be with him.

There is only such a way.

"Come back." Ruhr added his command: "Let's support it again, and we'll rush back to Oscar overnight." Speaking here, Ruhr sighed softly and whispered to himself: " Lao Tzu wanted to be one step behind this time. I didn't expect the old man to do such a great job ... "

Speaking of which, Ruhr ordered to leave a few horses to bury the bodies of the intercepted army, and then he would return to the imperial capital with the brigade, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the cavalry sent in the distance. The sound of a warning came.

A sharp warning whistle rang in the army, and Rulton looked stunned! Did it meet the cutting-edge elite left by the Duke of Minas?

But then he knew he was wrong.

Just on the south side of the road, a cavalry team came slowly, and it looked like there were more than a hundred riders. It was under the banner of the southern army, but it seemed that the walking speed was not fast. More than a hundred riders came slowly, far away. Far away, the guard whistle appeared under Ruhr.

After recognizing that this south cavalry did not seem to be hostile, the team was also walking on the road with great fanfare. Ruhr immediately made a decision and sent his men to contact the other party, and the rest were done in situ. Ready for battle.

A moment later, the cavalry who had contacted returned, but brought news that Ruhr was very surprised.

It turned out that this cavalry team from the south actually came from the south conquest, and was ordered to go to the capital of Oscar to replace his life.

What's more surprising to Ruhr is that the mission of this rider team was actually "escorted".

According to the news of the former duke sent by the duke of Minas to the imperial capital, he has fired 16 commanders of the first line of the army for various crimes in the army, and this cavalry served Mi The order of the Duke of Nass sent the sixteen "polluted" officers to the imperial capital.

This incident was called Ruhr and was a bit surprised. Although he had known the news for a long time, he did not expect that he would encounter a group of officers dismissed by the old duke here.

However, he immediately went up to meet these people-from these populations, maybe we can know the current situation of the South March!

However, when seeing the sixteen dismissed officers, Ruhr was shocked again!

Because with the sixteen "sinners" officers being escorted, the team also brought another latest battle report from Duke Minas, the commander of the Southern Recruitment Army!

...

A few days ago, on the same day that 16 officers of the Duke of Minas were dismissed, it was only three days after the Rodin Vanguard swept across a county in the south to achieve the first victory.

According to this battle report, the main force of the Duke of Minas has marched hundreds of miles day and night, besieging a large rebel army that was previously forced and assembled by Roddy vanguard cavalry in a large city that was rebel rebels. .

The Duke of Minas immediately ordered a general attack and attacked the city overnight. With a thunderbolt, he broke the rebels and broke through the city. The rebels then disintegrated and defeated 60,000 rebels. Over 40,000!

This battle almost wiped out one of the three largest rebels in the South with a near-destructive trend!

Such a big victory came so fast! So suddenly! !!

A great victory!

Dajie ... hehe! !!

Ruhr looked at the battle report in his hand, but felt that his heart was completely cold!

Just when he and Adrik had just mutinized in the imperial capital, and when they sent someone south to regain the military power of the Southern Army, the Duke of Minas made such a big victory? !!

fast! too fast!

Ruhr knows very well that this is not the response of the Duke of Minas after he learned of the mutiny between himself and Adriatic's capital, but ... the Duke of Minas simply walked with himself and Adri Gram before! He walked down step by step early, and either Adrik and his mutiny, even if he went south to collect power, lag behind the old duke's actions!

Southern Victory ...

Such a great victory wiped out one-third of the southern rebels in the First World War, and restored the land of a county. Under such a great victory, the great victories gave Emperor what reasons and excuses to take back Military power of the Southern Army?

A victory, all excuses have become pale-people have fought a great victory. At this time, to recover the military power, it is impossible to justify it, and it is untenable. Unless you really tear your face ... there are no other options!

If before, the Duke of Minas hurriedly could not really control the army, and he might not really be in control of the army.

But things are different now! Ruhr is a veteran army officer. He is very clear that for an unfamiliar commander-in-chief, the quickest and most direct way to do everything is to clean up middle-level officers and replace them !! The other one is a big victory!

The cleaning man has done the cleaning action. And now in a big victory ...

Things in the army have always been straightforward. A commander in chief, if you can bring everyone to victory, you will get the true aspirations and admiration of the soldiers. What's more, the old duke was prestigious. After this victory, even those in the army who still had a wait-and-see attitude would be impressed by the old man immediately.

People have always been accustomed to standing next to winners.

Now, even if someone is actually sent to the army, the Emperor ’s order is presented in public. The old man ’s commandership position must be removed. The old man does n’t even have to force a resistance. As long as he ascends, he ’s afraid that there will be many people in the army. Dissatisfied.

Deprived of a commander-in-chief who had just taken them away, who would the soldier stand on? I can think of it with my butt!

Ruhr's heart was cold, and he slowly closed up the battle report, with a hún1uan in his heart.

The situation is extremely bad!

But just now ...

"General Ruhr! I want to see General Ruhr!"

An angry voice came from the "escorted" team.

Ruhr looked up. The 16 officers who had been released from office were in the escorted team in public. Although they were not tied up, everyone was disarmed and wearing only a cotton uniform.

It was one of the "sinners" officers who made the roar of anger.

"Who shouted?" Ruhr sighed.

Soon, his men brought the shouting officer to Ruhr's side. Ruhr glanced at him. The officer in front of him was tall, with a stern look, sharp eyes, and full of anger. Ruhr sank slightly, saying, "I know you, you are from the 9th Corps of the Central Army. What's your name ... Ned? "

"Yes, general!" The officer raised his head, looking angry, "Sir, I am Ned and belong to the Ninth Corps. I have seen you in the military!"

"I remember, you are a banner officer, aren't you?"

"It's a deputy, sir." The Ned gritted his teeth. "Sir, I want to sue! I want to sue! I want to sue Mina ..."

When Ruhl's heart moved, he immediately interrupted the other party's words and yelled, "Herald, please think of your words!"

Then he glanced around and whispered, "Bring him with me."

Ruhrzema came to a secluded place by the side of the road. A guard behind him brought this Ned to his side. Ruhr looked at the angry officer: "Her Ned, what do you want to sue?"

"I want to sue!" Ned stood upright, tǐng raised his back and sank, "I will sue the Duke of the Empire, Marshal Minas. I charged him with treason, collusion with the 1uan party, and ... ! "

Lulton suddenly changed his color, looking at this officer named Ned: "Her Ned! Do you know what you are talking about now?"

"I know very well, General." The officer said fiercely, "I know more about the seriousness of these allegations, but I will not take back my words!"

"... Go on!" Ruhr narrowed his eyes.

Ned took a deep breath and looked at Ruhr: "Master, I personally experienced the great victory a few days ago! I have good reasons and evidence to accuse Lord Duke Minas of secretly colluding with the rebels!"

Then, this Ned started his story.

The "Big Victory" just a few days ago, that is, the decisive battle described in the report that the Duke of Minas just sent, is really intriguing.

"At that time, the army I led was on the second line, which originally listed us as the second sequence of siege. I remember that in the evening, the general attack began, and the drums began to be beaten in front of me, shouting and killing loudly. My men and I were at We are speculating about how long it takes before we can be transferred up. "This Ned slowly said:" Sir, I am also fighting the old, although the rebels do not think much of them, If it is a field battle, we can fight 10,000 people with a thousand people! But this is a siege war! There are tens of thousands of rebels and they occupy a large city. They have enough equipment to defend the city. When we reach the city, The woods outside the city have been cut down. Obviously, the city is fully prepared. I saw the stones, giant trees, and the billowing smoke on the top of the city. They have prepared enough fire oil! Such a siege battle will definitely be a head-to-head battle! A solid city defense will greatly reduce the quality gap between the two armies! Even if the opponent is a group of rebels, even if we are regular army, but the basis The advantage of city defense is to betray 1uan with my many years of experience in the army. If we want to capture such a big city with tens of thousands of rebels, it will be several times more difficult than field battles. Even if we make up our minds to attack and kill the soldiers, According to my judgment, I am afraid that we must wait for the third offensive to break the city! "

Ruhr had a slight calculation in his mind, and nodded affirming the other party's statement: "You have a good calculation."

"But I was waiting in the back, but the drums struck the throne of God Seal in less than a quarter of an hour, and I heard cheers from the front. I heard the shout 'City breaks' everywhere! My army was the second sequence. The reserve team did not even get a chance to enter the battlefield, the city has been broken-no, even the facts I later learned, the first sequence of offensives have not been fully launched, I heard that only two thousand teams were tuned up to play After a while, the gate was broken, and soon the banner of the rebels in the city fell and the flag of the eagle of the empire was erected. Even after surrendering into the city, the rebels had no intention of fighting in the streets, and our striker quickly broke through the city's garrison. I heard that the rebel leader had committed suicide when we entered. Dead, and the second figure of the rebels immediately gave the order of the Seal of Throne. "

This Ned laughed bitterly: "My soldiers, the blade in my hand didn't see blood at all, we just ran around with 1uan, 1uan shouted for a while, then the city was inexplicably If you break it, the rebels collapse for some reason. Almost half an hour later, the team will come up to gather and surrender the prisoners of war! Lord ... You are also fighting the old battle, this kind of tens of thousands of decisive battle, and It was still a siege battle, and within half an hour, the throne of the Seal of God was finished ... Hum, his subordinates were foolish and had never fought a lifetime of battle. "

"However, you are a deliberate fellow." Ruhr nodded: "But you also said that the rebel leader killed himself, and the rebel No. 2 ordered surrender ..."

"My lord, the problem is here. When I took my troops into the city, I was far away from the Guard House, and saw the surrendered rebel number 2. Although it was dark at the time, fortunately, I thought That guy came out. "Ned looked very serious." That guy, I know it, and I'm familiar! We used to play in the same army a few years ago. I know the name of that guy, and few people in the army knew it at the time. He was a guarded relative of the Duke of Minas, so he had the opportunity to be transferred to the Central Army for training. However, after our army was transferred, he was transferred. I have n’t seen it for years, but I did n’t expect it. Seeing him this time, he actually became the number two in the rebels. "

Ned said here, the more gloomy look: "Master, with your wisdom, you will not see this problem! This guy, it is impossible for our army to enter the rebels after the south rebellion. You should know! It ’s only a dozen days before we went south to rebel in the south. Even if we want to break into the rebels in Ancha, the ten-day throne of God Seal is definitely not enough! Moreover, even if Ancha really When people go ... the Seal of the Throne of God in more than ten days, it should be able to achieve the number two in the rebels? I am afraid that it is unbelievable to others! Is the only explanation ... "

The only explanation is that ... This "inner response" was already in the rebels as early as the rebellion.

Ruhr sighed secretly.

Almost instantaneously, a complete and huge plan has completely surfaced in Ruhr's heart!

The return of the Duke of Minas-Southern Rebellion 1uan-The Duke of Minas robs the commander of the Southern Army-leads the army south-big victory ...

"The old man scrambled to get ahead, Adrik and I lag behind ..."

For a time, the throne of the Seal of God, Luer now, before him, has become a dead end!

The situation now cannot meet the Duke of Minas. The only way is to take back the military power of the South in a peaceful way ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and call the Duke of Minas back to the emperor to control him.

This plan is now completely bankrupt. The betrayal 1uan in the south seems to have been inextricably linked with the Duke of Minas, and even ... among them is his shadow! The old duke took control of the insurgents heading south, and because of internal reasons, he could easily defeat the rebels and earn great prestige brought by victory. The prestigious prestige to control the whole army and let the army return to heart. With the capital to fight against the emperor!

At this time, it was impossible for Minas to send troops for peace. The army would surely be on his side, and the soldiers at the bottom would not understand the inside story. The soldiers would only instinctively support a prestigious commander who would lead them to victory. If the imperial capital at this time forcibly orders the deprivation of the Duke of Minas, the old man is fully capable of instigating the army to mutiny and rebound, so as to further control the army in his hands. But-this way cannot go! The Duke of Minas can break the jar, but the imperial capital is not here! Once the Duke of Minas provoked the Southern Army to rebound and mutiny, then for the northern rebels, especially Hughes ... it is definitely a big pie falling from the sky!

As for going directly from the imperial capital to the south with the Central Army and directly fighting with Minas, it is even more impossible.

Those northern rebels in Hughes will wake up with a smile even when they sleep!
