    Chapter 538—The South Road Difficulty

    "I want to kill him…kill him……I want him to die, to kill him, I want him to die…"

    In the inner court room, the young Emperor Garcia was still shaking, and the clothes on his body had already been soaked in rain, and the hair was wet on the forehead.

    The way he looks at the moment is really pitiful, just like a bird shivering in the rain.

    In the inner room, all the chamberlain have been retired, and only the old Prime Minister, Salon Bonelli, is alone. The old man stood there, looking at the emperor who shivered and whispered himself, and took a blanket from the side of the bed, and put his hands on the shoulders of the emperor.

    The old man is very clear that today's incident, the attack on the emperor, is almost deadly!

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

    Such a mutiny completely tore the so-called "majesty" and "king power" of the emperor's originally weak layer! Thoroughly exposed the emperor's weakness, incompetence, and imperial power to the broad daylight!

    The Royal Family was wiped out by the prestige, and was almost forced into a desperate situation by a General!

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

    The chaos has withdrawn from the Imperial Palace – so that Salon Bonelli is slightly relieved that Adric has not taken the opportunity to ask for more and more excessive demands. He originally thought that Adrick would take the opportunity to take over the city defense of the Imperial City. go with. Fortunately, Adric did not do this, the chaos completely withdrew from the Imperial City, and the Imperial City returned to the control of the Imperial Guard.

    But…

    Let the old Prime Minister sigh, is the current Imperial Guard trustworthy?

    When the chaos was forced, the Imperial Guard opened the door of the Imperial City and placed the rebels inside. When the chaotic army rushed into the main hall and forced the majesty, the vast Imperial Guard was only two or three hundred people still standing under the loyalty.

    Such an Imperial Guard…It is no longer possible to trust the Royal Family.

    It’s ridiculous!

    The empire has come to the present, and looking at it, Ken will die for his majesty, only two or three hundred people.

    As for Adek – to become "protecting the country Marshal", to know such a title, since the founding of the Empire, no one has ever been! Protecting the country Marshal, the general leader of the military and foreign affairs, has the right to all the troops in the empire, to serve in the army! Such authority is by no means a person can take it!

    But he did what Adek really did.

    After the end of the war, Adric did not have the same attitude as the emperor did to plead guilty as he had expected. This straight guy, even simple gestures do not bother?

    He is just a hard-boned, please enact another secret order.

    And this secret order is the most worrying thing for the old Prime Minister!

    "Call Duke Minas back to Imperial Capital!"

※※※

    The order to chase down the army of the south to rebel is already set off. As the order is sent, it is the first and most urgent order of the emperor's department: the golden order.

    The golden order signed by the Emperor and his military minister and the Prime Minister of the Empire represents the highest authority of the empire!

    Such a golden order was sent to the army of the south to rebel, unless his Duke Minas immediately reversed directly, otherwise, he would have no reason to resist any such supremacy.

    As for the reverse…

    Adek believes that even if Duke Minas is really ambitious, it will never go that step. He has only been in the south for a few days. Although he has removed the commanders of the 16 military forces and took over the military power, it is not enough to let the whole army surrender. If you want to really rebel, even if his trusted aide is willing to follow him, the whole army will be willing to follow him to do this kind of sin. How many?

    Among the golden orders sent, the words were extremely harsh and reprimanded. Duke Minas had previously removed the actions of the 16 commanders in one breath – this is indeed an ultra vires, even if it is Commander-in-Chief in the military. There is no power to remove so many first-line commanders before they are authorized by the military! ! Such an approach is difficult to stand up, both in terms of reason and law.

    The Golden Order has already been ordered, and the South Army’s rebel army is ordered to be stationed on the spot immediately. Commander-in-Chief Duke Minas immediately handed over the military, and returned to Imperial Capital to see the emperor 自 self-defense in the following positions!

    At the same time, the former Imperial Rhodelia Army General Ruhr took over as the Commander-in-Chief.

    The order sent more than ten rides in one breath, and more than ten of the highest gold orders were sent, and Ruhr, with his accompanying officials, was also preparing to take office from Imperial Capital.

    Ruhr accompanied more than 20 officials, all of whom were transferred from the City Guards and the Central Army. They were prepared to take over all the command once they took over the army.

    In addition, there is a cavalry escort from a squadron that is drawn from the city.

※※※

    Although it can be said that I have done everything I can do, but when I am out of town, Ruhr is still playing drums.

    I don't know why, there are always some bad feelings in his heart. The officers who accompany him are the people who are loyal to Adrik among the Central Army. The escort of the squadron, cavalry, is also the credibility of the city. The relationship between the two.

    But…

※※※

    Out of Osgiliath, the Ruhr pedestrians only walked the road. Fifty cavalry of a squadron was fully armed. Together with Ruhr and the accompanying 20-year-old officer, a total of 76 rides flew south and took the emperor’s autograph. The command.

    Going south for a day, the horses are non-stop, and the whole team is not shy under the strict rules of Ruhr. Ruhr himself has played a full-fledged spirit. He is a fine man, and he has sent more than ten sneak peeks to explore the road before, but he has not even ran out of the Imperial Capital of Osgiliath Empire. He really encountered the worst thing that Ruhr worried. Happening!

    Cavalry, who probed the road, found an accident next to a tree in front of the road, found a dead imperial cavalry, dressed in central Army costumes, already dead, with arrows in his body, and the body died under the tree, apparently killing his people, and not even the interest in burying the body to cover it up. Seems to have deliberately left the body next to the road!

    After Ruhr received the news, he took the man and rushed up. When he arrived at the scene, he just looked at it and suddenly his face was gloomy!

    He recognized that the dead Central Army cavalry was the member of the ambassadors who had been sent from the Imperial Capital to the South before their departure!

    The military ambassadors of these orders sent more than ten rides at a time, but some people died here!

    You know, there is no scope for Osgiliath Imperial Capital! Distance to Imperial Capital is just a day away! In such a close proximity to Imperial Capital, the squadron of the messenger, such a thing, is simply daring!

    "Lord Duke…You are so hot this time…"

    Ruhr whispered in his mouth and his face gradually began to look. He took a deep breath and looked at the people around him. He then ordered the team to move on.

    In the face of the military squad being killed in the middle of the road, the whole team has already noticed the danger of this trip, the cavalry responsible for the escort is more spirited to do enough.

    After a few more hours, two bodies were found on the road. Ruhr saw it, and it was the army that was sent before!

    It was only one day after Osgiliath, and I actually saw three dead military ambassadors. Now I want to come. The previous dispatched order made there are more than ten rides, but…If you can go to the south, I am afraid…

    "The order, the whole team stopped!"

    Ruhr suddenly said such a strange order.

    The officers around him, everyone is looking dignified, no one is talking, everyone just looking at Ruhr.

    These officers were all transferred from the Central Army. They were in the military for a long time. Naturally, they also had some thoughtful thoughts. They saw three commanding troops in succession and were killed in the middle of the road. How many can guess the situation is not good. .

    Someone killed the commander in the middle of the road. Naturally, he did not want the order of Imperial Capital to pass to the Southern Expedition in the South…

    In the end, who deliberately made such a hot resort, trying to cut off the connection between Imperial Capital and the Southern Expedition? What is the answer…I am afraid that many people do not understand, but dare not think about it!

    "The whole team turned around and we went back to Imperial Capital!"

    Ruhr sighed and looked very ugly.

    I can only go back to Imperial Capital!

    Even Ruhr didn't think that Duke Minas actually did such a hot decision!

    You know, Duke Minas has brought the army in the south, and those hidden in the way to the South, must be the trusted aide of Duke Minas – and most importantly, these trusted aide must be Duke Minas has reserved a force before going south!

    To know……At the time, before Duke Minas went south, there was no change in Imperial Capital!

    At that time, Duke Minas had already left such a hot and ruthless hand, and sent people directly on the road to start killing the military, then there is only one explanation!

    From the very beginning, the old duke has already broken the boat and made up his mind. In spite of all the consequences, the Nanzheng Army must be completely robbed! He is so absolutely, he has not left half a share and a retreat for himself!

    That is to say, the moment Duke Minas took the army out of Osgiliath, he was actually reversed!

    Originally, Ruhr and Adrick’s idea was to send people south to the military to take over the army and call Duke Minas back to the emperor. I thought that as long as the action was quick and a time difference, Duke Minas did not know that Imperial Capital had changed…

    But now, both of them underestimate the determination of Duke Minas! The old man did not plan to delay or hold half of other hopes. He took the first moment in the south and was ready to go against it!

    No matter what your Imperial Capital is, no matter whether your Imperial Capital is a military or not, anyway, he turned it back!

    In this case, Ruhr knew that he would like to take the tens of rides in such a district and go to the south to take over the officers. It was a dream!

    Since the old man has already clarified the rebellion of the carriage horse, and even dared to do things that killed the emperor, what else is he afraid to do? These dozens of rides…I am afraid that I don’t think it’s safe to go to the South.Even if there is a life to the south, the old duke will never give himself any chance to directly kill his dozens of rides!

    The old man acted violently, and the means were good. Ruhr knew it deeply.

    "Go back to Imperial Capital."Ruhr took a deep breath and his face was cloudy.

    If we want to recapture the military power of the Southern Expeditionary Force, it is impossible to do it in a peaceful way.

    It’s not necessary to force yourself to go to the death of these dozens of riders, or go back to Imperial Capital to find a solution, preferably…From the defender of Imperial Capital, he took an elite army and led the army to the south, threatening Duke Minas with the army. After all, the old duke had just cleaned the army, and he had not really taken control of the army in the south. As long as he took the army south, the old duke would have to rebel, and the army below would not all be with him.

    There is only one way to go.

    "Go back."Ruhr added his own order: "Everyone will support me again, let's go back to Osgiliath overnight."Speaking of this, Ruhr sighed softly and whispered to himself: "Father this time is a bad one, I didn't expect the old man to do so…"

    Ruhr said, Ruhr ordered the horse to be buried in the ground to bury the bodies of the intercepted army. He would return to Imperial Capital with the brigade, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the cavalry in the distance. There was a voice from the police.

    The sharp whistle of the police rang, Ruhr suddenly looked a glimpse! Did you encounter the sharp killing of Duke Minas?

    Then he knew that he was wrong.

    Just on the south side of the road, a riding team came slowly, watching the scale of about a hundred rides, playing the banner of the South Zhengjun, but it seems that the speed of walking is not fast, more than a hundred rides slowly, far Far away was discovered by Ruhr's guard patrol.

    It seems that there is no hostility in this southern squad. The team is also walking on the road with great fanfare. Ruhr immediately made a decision, sent his men to run and contact each other, and the rest were done in the same place. Preparation for the battle.

    After a while, the camelry who came back to contact came back, but it brought news that made Ruhr very unexpected.

    The original squadron from the south came from the South Conquest, and ordered to go to Imperial Capital Osgiliath.

    What makes Ruhr even more unexpected is that the mission of this team is actually "cash."

    According to the previous Duke Minas military ambassador's report to Imperial Capital, he has already dismissed the commander of the 16th military first-line army on various charges in the military, and this squad is based on Duke Minas. The order was sent to the Imperial Capital for the removal of the sixteen officers who were "to be guilty".

    This one is called Ruhr. Some accidents, although he knew the news long ago, he did not expect to encounter this group of officers who were removed by the old duke.

    But then he immediately went to summon these people – from these populations, you may be able to know the current situation of the South Conquest!

    However, when I saw the sixteen officers who were dismissed, Ruhr was shocked again!

    Because, with the sixteen "waiting for sin" officers being escorted, there is also another latest report from Commander-in-Chief Duke Minas who brought the Southern Conquest to Imperial Capital!

……

    A few days ago, the same day that the 16 officers of the Duke Minas General were dismissed, that is, the Rhody Pioneer Cavalry swept the southern county to get the first victory in three days.

    According to the report, the main force of Duke Minas has been rushing to the army for a long time, and surrounded the rebel army that had been forced by Rhody Pioneer Cavalry in a big city that was rebel.

    Duke Minas immediately ordered the general attack, attacked the city overnight, and thundered the thunder, breaking the city and breaking the city. The rebels immediately disintegrated and defeated the rebel army of 60,000 people, killing more than 10,000 and capturing four Million!

    In this battle, almost one of the three largest forces in the southern rebels was completely annihilated by the ravages!

    Such a great victory is coming so fast! So suddenly! !

    A big victory!

    Great… hēi hēi ! !

    Ruhr looked at the battle report in his hand and only felt that a heart was completely cold!

    Just when he and Adric had just made a mutiny at Imperial Capital and wanted to send someone to regain the power of the Southern Army, Duke Minas, did you make such a big victory? !

    Hurry! Too fast!

    Ruhr knows very well that this is not the way Duke Minas learned about himself and Adrick's Imperial Capital mutiny, but…Duke Minas is just walking every step of herself and Adrick! He walked down step by step early, and Adek and his own mutiny were good, and the power to go south was all the way, step by step behind the action of the old duke!

    Great in the South…

    Such a big victory, the defeat of one-third of the southern rebels in the First World War, the recovery of a county land – such a big victory, the great victory, let Imperial Capital have any reason and excuses to go Take back the military power of the Southern Army?

    A victory, what excuses have become pale – people have a big victory, this time to recover the military power, how can not say, how can not stand. Unless it is really tearing your face…There are no other options!

    If I had to say that Duke Minas had been in a hurry, I couldn't really grasp the General team. I still couldn't really control the military.

    But now the situation is different! Ruhr is an old armyman. He knows very well that for a strange commander, Commander-in-Chief, the quickest and most direct way to do the best is to clean the middle officer and replace it. Own trusted aide! The other one is a big win!

    The old man who cleaned the action has already done it. And now a big win…

    Things in the military have always been straightforward, a Commander-in-Chief. If you can win with everyone, you will get the true heart and respect of the soldiers. What's more, the old duke was originally a prestige. After this great victory, even those who had a wait-and-see attitude in the military, I am afraid that they will immediately return to the old man.

    Historically, people have been used to standing beside the winners.

    Now, even if it is really sent to the army, the order of Imperial Capital is presented in public, and the commander-in-Chief position of the old man is to be waived. The old man does not even have to resist. As long as he ascends, he will only have the military. Many people are dissatisfied with him.

    Depriving a Commander-in-Chief who has just led them to take a big victory, who is the soldier standing on? I can think of it with my ass!

    Ruhr's heart was cold, and the battle report was slowly collected, and his heart was in chaos.

    The situation is already terrible!

    But it is at this time…

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

    Among the teams that were "esed", there was an angry voice.

    Ruhr looked up and the 16 officers who were removed from their official positions were in public. Although they were not tied up, everyone was paid and only dressed in a military uniform.

    It is one of the officers who are guilty of anger.

    "What shouts?"Ruhr sighed.

    Soon, the people under his command brought the shouting officer to Ruhr's side. Ruhr glanced at him. The officer in front of him was tall, with a neat look, sharp eyes and full of anger. Ruhr was slightly indulged and said: "I recognize you, you are the 9th Army of the Central Army, you call…Ned? ”

    "Yes General!"The officer raised his head and looked angry: "Lord, I am Ned, I am 9th Army, I have seen you in the military!"

    "I remember, you are a flag officer, are you?"

    "It's a deputy, Lord."This Ned gritted his teeth: "Lord, I want to complain! I want to complain! ! I want to sue Mina…"

    When Ruhr's heart moved, he immediately interrupted the other party's words and shouted: "His Lord Ned, please mind your words!"

    He said, he glanced around and whispered: "Take him with me."

    Ruhr Zema came to a remote place by the side of the road, with a guard behind him bringing this Ned to his side. Ruhr looked at the angry officer: "His Ned, what do you want to complain about?"

    "I want to complain!"Ned stood up straight and stood up. He said: "I want to accuse the empire Marshal Duke Minas. I accuse him of committing treason, colluding with party crimes, and…Seeking an anti-sin! ”

    Ruhr suddenly changed color and looked at the officer named Ned: "Nehder! Can you know what you are talking about now? ”

    "I know very well, General Lord."The officer said: "I know more about these serious charges, but I will not take back my words!"

“……“Go on.”Ruhr narrowed his eyes.

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

    Said, this Ned began his remarks.

    Just a few days ago, the "great victory", which is the battlefield described by Duke Minas just sent the battle report, which is somewhat intriguing.

    "At the time, the army I led was on the second line. It was originally the second sequence that listed us as a siege. I remember that in the evening, the general attack began, and the front began to knock on the drums. My subordinates and I are refueling in the back, and we are all guessing how long it will take us to turn us up. ”This Ned slowly said: "Lord, I am also old-fashioned. Although the rebels are not very worthy of them, if they are field battles, we can beat them 10,000 people!" But this is a siege war! There are tens of thousands of rebels, and they occupy a big city. They have enough equipment to guard the city. When we arrived under the city, the woods outside the city had been cut down. Obviously, the city was fully prepared. I saw the stones piled up on the head of the city, the giant wood, and the smoky smoke, they prepared ample oil! Such a siege warfare will definitely be a hard battle! Strong city defense will greatly shorten the quality gap between the two armies! Even if the other party is a group of rebels, even if we are regular troops, but based on the advantages of urban defense, with my years of experience in the rebellion, we want to capture such a big city with tens of thousands of rebel forces, the difficulty will be greater than the field Several times. Even if we made up our mind to attack, the soldiers used their lives, in my judgment, I am afraid I have to wait for the third wave of offensive to break the city! ”

    Ruhr had a slight calculation in mind, nodding his head and affirming the other side’s statement: "You counted well."

    "But, I was waiting behind, the drums were knocked, but only a quarter of an hour later, I heard the cheers coming from the front, and I heard shouting 'City broken' everywhere! My army as a second-wave sequence of reserves, even did not get the opportunity to play, the city has been broken-no, even I later know the truth, the first wave of the offensive did not fully unfold, heard that only tuned the two millennia team up to fight for a moment, the gate was broken, and soon, the Chengtou rebel flag fell, The Imperial Eagle head Flag was erected. The rebel forces of the city defense collapsed like a flood, and they surrendered to the team. Even after they entered the city, the rebels did not have the intention of street fighting. Our striker quickly broke the garrison in the city. I heardThe head of the rebel army had already killed itself when we scored, and the second person of the rebels had ordered the surrender in the first place. ”

    This Ned smiled bitterly: "My soldiers, the blade in the hand did not see blood at all, we just roared along a trip, a tumultuous shout for a while, and then the city was inexplicably broken, the rebels inexplicably collapsed, almost half an hour, the back of the line to open up to surrender the war It's prisoner! Lord ……You are also old-fashioned, this kind of battle of tens of thousands of people, and it is still a siege war, and it will be finished in less than half an hour…Hey, it’s dull, it’s been a lifetime, and it’s not so easy to win. ”

    "However, you are a guy with a heart."Ruhr nodded: "But, you said, the rebel leader killed himself, and the rebels' second person ordered the surrender…"

    "Lord, the problem is here. When I took the troops into the city, I was far away from the garrison. I saw the second person of the rebel, who was dark, but fortunately, I recognized the guy. ”Ned looked very serious: "That guy, I know, and I am very familiar! We used to work in the same army a few years ago. I know the name of that person. At that time, few people in the military knew that he was the guardian of the Duke Minas Lord, Praetorian Guard, so he had the opportunity to be released into the Central Army. Experienced. Only after our army was transferred, he was transferred. I haven't seen it for years, but I didn't expect that he saw him this time, and he actually became the second person in the rebels. ”

    Ned said here, the look is more and more gloomy: "Lord, with your wisdom, you will not see this problem! This guy, there is absolutely no possibility that our army should be within the rebel army after the rebellion in the south! We must know that it is only a dozen or so days for us to rebel in the south. Even if we want to be inserted into the inside of the rebels, the time of ten days is absolutely not enough! Moreover, even if it’s really safe, people go…In ten days, should this be the second person in the rebels? I am afraid that it is unbelievable to say to people! The only explanation…"

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

    Ruhr sighed in his heart.

    Almost instantaneous, a complete and huge plan has completely emerged in the heart of Ruhr!

    Duke Minas Comeback – Southern Rebellion – Duke Minas takes the South Commander Commander-in-Chief – leads the army south – Dajie…

    "The old man step by step, I am behind Adrick and I am behind…"

    For a time, Ruhr found that what was in front of him had become a dead end!

    The current situation is that there is no way to see Duke Minas really tearing his face. The only way is to regain the military power of the South in a peaceful way and call Duke Minas back to Imperial Capital to control him.

    And now this plan has completely gone bankrupt. The rebellion in the south seems to have been inextricably linked to Duke Minas, even…There is his shadow! The old duke mastered the right to rebel in the south, and because of the internal reasons, it was easy to break the rebels and earn the great prestige brought by the victory. With this great prestige to control the whole army and let the army return to the heart, With the capital of Imperial Capital!

    At this time, it is impossible to make Minas hand over the military power if he wants peace. The army will definitely stand on his side, and the soldiers at the bottom will not understand these insiders. The officers will only instinctively support the Commander-in-Chief, a prestigious Commander-in-Chief that can lead them to victory. Imperial Capital At this time, if it is forcibly ordered to deprive Duke Minas of the position, the old man is fully capable of provoking the army to change and rebound, so that the General team is in the hands. But – this road can't go! Duke Minas can break the can, but Imperial Capital will never do it! Once Duke Minas provokes the Southern Army to rebound and change, then the rebels in the north, especially Hughes…It’s definitely a big pie that falls in the sky!

    It is even more impossible to go directly from Imperial Capital to the Central Army and directly to Minas.

    Hughes, the northern rebels, will wake up even when they sleep! (To be continued …… If you like this work, you are welcome to come to *** (***.***) Vote for referrals, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
