Power and Empire Chapter 2520: Thunderstorm (40)
sloping off the sloping fields, torrential rain hit the magnificent flag, the rain like a messy and broken string of beads pounced on the muddy ground, like a turbulent current rolling frantically on this land, the torrential rain once again came to the Fezer King’s area, Gazing at the rain curtain outside, Fazer's Fifth Army Commander Brandon's eyes were filled with a bleak despair
"Why did it happen like this?" Brandon couldn't figure it out. Fei Lietri's first and second armies entered the capital of Fazer in a strong posture, except that the aristocratic army fled westward in a hurry. In addition, Fei Ze's Fifth Army, Eighth Army, and Twelfth Army, who would enter the capital city ahead of time, were in an awkward situation.
Brandon has received the news that the noble army unexpectedly chose to flee west. This news made Brandon stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the noble army's move could be said to have turned to death. The effect of rejuvenation
The aristocratic army, which was originally regarded as a must-see by the royal army and Fei Lietri, unexpectedly showed a staggering strategic gaze. To the west, because of its back to the west coast, the royal family had a secret agreement with the Falcon Empire , Did not place any heavy soldiers there. The tens of thousands of noble armies were almost without resistance to the west of the royal capital. Before the battle for royal power was really decided, whether it was the royal army or the border defense of Feleteri The army will not have any extra energy to control the noble army that fled to the west,
The aristocratic army entered the royal capital this time, and the material and capital it carried was heinous. The killing of the Nulunites made a fortune. Now they choose to withdraw to the west. No one can stop it. There is enough. With material support and sufficient troops in hand, the situation that the noble army was originally condemned by both sides immediately became thunder and rain. Neither the royal family nor Fei Lietri are fools. The existence of the noble army is just irrelevant. Asking and suppressing the noble army will only allow the opponent to capture the opportunity. In this case, the noble army can fully observe the whole battle situation in the safer west, and finally choose who to help, or just don’t care about anyone. , Walk away directly from the royal capital area
"Why don't my Fize Fifth Army have such a good thing!"
Brandon sighed with emotion, the Noble Army turned west, not only got rid of the predicament, but also vaguely grasped the initiative, but the Fifth Army, the Eighth Army and the Twelfth Army were unable to do so. Yes, there are 100,000 elites in the sky, but they are firmly nailed here. Forward is the royal capital where the royal family gathers heavily. The royal family can ignore the noble army fleeing to the west, but it will never sit and watch Feze’s 100,000 elites. West, because it is tantamount to directly putting yourself in a dangerous situation of being attacked on both sides, so if you go west like a nobleman, then the main force of the royal army is placed in front. This kind of thing that has helped Feiletli in vain, how can you do it!
Backward, it was Fei Lietri who wished to take his skin and cramps directly under the First Army and Second Army. The exhausted Fifth Army was not defeated in a war! Staying in place is even worse. It is like being caught directly in front of the royal army and Feleteri. If you can’t raise enough rations in a short time, you don’t have to kill Feleteri’s First and Second Army. The three legions themselves will be chaotic and collapse! And Brandon, who instigated the three legions to separate from Fazer’s military, suffered a sharp decline in popularity. The officers who originally wanted to make a fortune in the capital area did not even get a hair.
Inner loss is filled with various complaints, especially the complaints of low-level officers.
"We were deceived by Shangguan"
"Master Brandon needs to give us an explanation"
"Why only one meal a day now! Is the food corrupted by the quartermaster?" Various rumors circulated in the army, and the situation was getting worse. Brandon felt even more difficult. If he had known this, Shouldn't ruminate the base camp in the first place! Feleteli’s tactics are correct, but what about letting the noble army enter the capital first? As long as the Royal Capital Portal is still in the hands of the military, you can always turn what the noble army has obtained into the military's own, but I had never thought about it at that time. In this regard, Fei Lietri's vision is indeed much better than his own. More,
In the heavy rain, a mysterious guest came to Brandon’s barracks, his eyes swept across the sewage barracks in front of him, the mysterious guest’s eyebrows frowned slightly, the heavy rain has been falling for two consecutive days, and the ground has completely changed It became a muddy zone. Tens of thousands of Fazer Fifth Army were soaked in the rain. Many soldiers’ armor and weapons were thrown aside, and they rolled their trouser legs to drain outside the tent. After two or three days of heavy rain, in the camp, almost They all became a piece of Zeguo. In the middle of the night, they stepped into the water with one foot. The armor and clothes on their body were soaked in water. In this early winter, wearing them on the body is asking for abuse. Brandon found out that he was in the army. They were all turned into fish ponds, and they could only let their subordinates look around for things to drain out. Everyone was soaked white by the heavy rain and trembling in the cold. Brandon sent manpower to cut down trees in the nearby forest to make a fire. Haven't come back for a while,
"My lord, someone asks to see you", the adjutant walked in from the outside, also covered in mud, and said with a weird expression
"See you?" Although Brandon is the main general, the inside of the barracks is the same now. Even if the water is drained, the ground is muddy and hard to move. The cold seeps people. Hearing the adjutant’s report, I almost thought it I heard it wrong, but he was also a legion commander after all, and he was still sensitive to the situation. His eyes paused on the adjutant Na’s weird face, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it Feleteli’s person? Or is it the king? People from all?"
" is a person from the royal capital." Hearing what Brandon said in one mouth, the adjutant trembled a little. The adjutant didn't expect Brandon to say it all in one mouth. Now whether it is Ferreteri or the king , But they are all enemies who want to put the Fifth Army to death!
"Who is the one who came? "When I heard that he was from the royal capital, Brandon's expression eased a bit, raised his head and asked in a condensed voice
" is Lord Ji Ya of the Janissaries" the adjutant hesitated and said, still worried, whether Brandon will immediately order the transfer to Lord Ji Ya to be arrested
"Jiya is here! Haha, he is really a suitable candidate!"
Hearing the name reported by the adjutant, Brandon twitched his mouth slightly. Your Majesty is really pervasive. Ji Ya and himself were friends in their childhood, but they parted ways because of the different systems. They entered the border defense army and made military achievements. Hehe, eventually promoted to the commander of the Fifth Army, can be described as a major general in the military. Ji Ya entered the Janissary Guard, mixed up and waited for death, and became a general. It is just the status of the two sides, which is more than a heavenly difference. , Facing a desperate situation, and the person who came forward to solicit him is Ji Ya! It's ironic!
From the moment he announced his departure from the border guard base camp, Brandon knew that there was no turning back, and then returned to the border guard. Perhaps Ferretelli would accept the subordinate officers’ re-commission, but he would never let it go. As the commander of the army, he has no way out on the military side. Since the military can't do it, there is only another side. It is either or the other. The situation is forced. Even if it is an enemy, there are dead enemies and ordinary enemies. /
and it’s the king’s capital, not a mortal enemy
Soon, a man who covered his appearance with a rain pocket walked into Brandon’s military account
"Brandon, it's been a long time." Ji Ya took off the rain pocket on his head, revealing a slightly pale middle-aged face, a beard with a beard, and a pair of bright eyes glanced at the outside of the tent. Several soldiers of the Fifth Army stood there,
"It’s been a long time indeed. The last time I met was six years ago. At that time, I was promoted to the commander of the eleventh step of the Border Guard." Brandon looked calm and smiled and said, "The barracks are simple, I want There is no place to sit, only forgive me. If I have a chance next time, I will invite you at the best hotel in the capital."
"Is it a hotel in the royal capital? It seems that you have guessed it." Ji Ya's face showed a slight sorrow.
"I guess it's not counted, but I just think that God will not make me so miserable!" Brandon laughed to himself, "I am not Ferretelli, and I have never wanted to replace the royal family. , I’m just a soldier. I believe your Majesty is quite clear about this. Anyway, I still hold the Fifth Army in my hands, and can also influence the Eighth Army and the Twelfth Army. Nearly 100,000 troops, I have such a bargaining chip. In my hand, how can I talk to the royal capital!"
"Are you so confident? Your Majesty can arrange for me to come to you, and naturally you will also arrange for others to go to the Eighth Army and the Twelfth Army." Ji Ya's eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes looking inside the muddy military tent. After a while, the voice said flatly, "The current situation is already obvious. Fei Lietri wants to destroy you. Apart from the path of surrendering to your Majesty, do you have other options? Besides, you were originally Fei Ze’s soldiers, loyal to your Majesty. Isn’t it a soldier’s vocation?"
"Since it is said to be such an extent, then I will not hide it, let's talk, what conditions does your majesty give us, let us stop the First Army and Second Army of Ferretelli?" Brandon's expression began to change He had to become serious, even his breathing became a bit thick. The king is so calculating, how can he forget it? Just as Ji Ya said, the king can reach out to the Eighth Army and the Twelfth Army, and In such a situation, it is false to say that the Eighth Army and the Twelfth Army will not be tempted. After all, they have never really fought against the Royal Army from the beginning to the end, and the two sides are far from the point where they need to be solved by life and death. On the contrary, the cost of the 100,000 Fezer border guards is enough to make the royal family tempted! Once a hundred thousand frontier guards turn from the military, they will have no weight in this battle of the capital, it is self-evident!
"The royal capital will give you supplies and grant you the position of deputy chief of the military department, but after the war, you must surrender the military power of the Fifth Army!"
Ji Ya's eyes fell on Brandon’s hesitating face, took a deep breath, and said aggressively, "Brandon, hand over military power. This is not discussed. There is already a Fletcher. Your Majesty will not let the second one appear again, the command of the army must belong to the royal family, otherwise, this war will be meaningless!"
"Okay, I accept" Brandon faced pressure, he could only nod his head in agreement. It was already very good to be able to guarantee his status and status. As for the undersecretary of the military affairs department, the army was returned to The royal family is now, and the undersecretary of the military department is not just a puppet, but it is better than being decapitated! And it’s better to hand over the subordinates to the royal family than to hand it over to Fei Lietri for a big cleaning
"Well, I'm glad you promised, my old friend!" Ji Ya's expression became much more relaxed, and he took out an appointment letter from his arms and handed it over." This is the appointment letter of the Deputy Chief of the Military Department personally issued by His Majesty. And here is an order that you need to execute immediately"
"It's really accurate and complete. If I don't agree, will you come up with a better one? Did I promise a little too soon?" Brandon blinked and took a look at the appointment letter. The golden royal seal is very conspicuous on it. It is indeed a letter of appointment handwritten by the king himself, the deputy chief of the military department. . . Brandon only had a wry smile,
A touch of embarrassment flashes on Ji Ya’s face
"Okay, just kidding"
Brandon joked, opened the order again, glanced over, his face changed, and his relaxed tone became serious again, "You are not kidding, the Fifth Army will go back to station in Nurem again? Are you sure of this order? That’s right? You know, Fei Lietri’s first army forward is less than twenty miles away from Nurem. Now let me go back. Isn’t it a direct match to Fei Lietri’s 1st army?"
"Since I am taking refuge in your Majesty, I should always show some sincerity!" Ji Ya rolled his eyes and said disapprovingly, "And your Majesty only asks you to be stationed in Nurem~IndoMTL.com~ but you don’t ask for any fees Letre attack, you are a general, you can't even tell this!"
"If the First Army is forcibly advancing to the capital, am I going to fight!" Brandon's mouth curled slightly, the royal family still didn't believe in themselves, and put the Fifth Army in front of the First Army. , Used to consume the combat power of the First Army, regardless of victory or defeat, the king will not suffer!
"That's all I can say, just do it for yourself, remember, you still owe me the best hotel once, Your Excellency Deputy Chief of Military Affairs" Ji Ya reached out and patted Brandon on the shoulder and turned to leave. When Ji Ya left, the adjutant walked in, took a look at Brandon who was still thinking, and asked, "My lord, can the royal family be trusted? What if we ask us to settle accounts after the war?"
"We have no choice. We promised to give up military power. The king shouldn't embarrass me too much. It's not bad to survive. What else can I expect! "Brandon waved his hand." As for you, I believe the royal family will make arrangements. , After all, they are all Fei Ze’s excellent soldiers. Is it because of a civil war that all Fei Ze’s excellent soldiers will be killed? If that is the case, Fei Ze will be severing his arms. I believe the royal family will not be so short-sighted."
"Order, the whole army will be transferred back to Nurem" Brandon ordered to the adjutant
On November 7, Fazer’s Fifth Army, the Eighth Army, and the Twelfth Army declared their allegiance to the royal family and moved to Nurem, the key area of the throat, like a gate, blocking Fazer’s First and Second Army In front of the news, the whole Faze shook again, and Fei Lietri became anxious, and the commander of the First Army and the Second Army crushed Nurem. This civil war between the military and the royal family turned into a border guard for a time. The Civil War, 〖to be continued〗【】
