Power and Empire Chapter 391: The balance of the north (1)
Latukate’s summer
The cyan vines crawled all over the wall of Latourquet Manor, like countless tentacles surrounding this deep courtyard,
In the eyes of the people in the town, the owner of this courtyard must be a nobleman who lives in a simple way.
Although this manor house full of romantic and elegant style looks so charming, the breeze blows across the spreading wall, and the colorful flowers are swaying in the wind
People in the town have rarely seen the owner of this manor.
This manor is like its closed and decadent appearance, covering everything up
Most of the time, the residents of the town only see black carriages stopping in front of this mysterious courtyard.
The people above always enter the courtyard gate in a hurry,
Then he was blocked by an emerald green creeper sculpture at the entrance of the manor,
It’s been a long time, and the people in the town have been quite familiar with this situation,
It is said that the nobles in the city most like to buy secret manors in the suburbs outside the city to do some shameful deeds. In some places, there have been a large number of missing girls.
Compared with these terrible rumors, this secret and peaceful Latourquet Manor has been much better
However, the guests here are quite special this time.
The old York couple on the opposite side of the manor were awakened by the sound of rushing horses in the middle of the night,
The sound of metal crashing made them get up from the bed curiously,
Through the slightly open slits of the windows,
Old York looked carefully with his old dim eyes,
Peeping at the guests from the opposite manor has become a unique hobby of this old couple
By the bright moonlight in the sky,
Old York saw a group of shining metallic black cavalry, and stopped at the entrance of the mysterious Latucket Manor
"What are these!" Old York almost cried out in surprise, the black devil from the south! The incarnation of blood and killing,
This used to be the ruler of Kudan, the favorite words used by the Steian family to criticize Samor
But now, Old York really understands this sentence
The black armor is shining coldly in the deep night,
Wearing armor, serious-looking black soldiers line up like a strange wall in front of Latukite Manor,
Latourquet Manor, which has always been known for its mysterious closure, is rarely brightly lit today.
The steel gate, which has always been closed in the courtyard, is now wide open.
The emerald green sculpture that was originally used to hide the figure has been removed, leaving a more spacious space inside,
From time to time, officers riding war horses go in and out,
In the quiet, you can faintly hear the breath of the war horse from the nose,
"This document will be sent to the south immediately! This is an order signed by the adults!"
A general wearing a red cloak walked out of a two-story small room in the middle of the courtyard and handed the documents in his hand to the messenger waiting outside
The tranquil manor is shrouded in suffocating Xiao Sha
Old York, a farmer who has never stepped out of a small town in his life, was stunned by the sudden changes before his eyes.
The black armor is like a **** of death, and the tall war horse that can reach its eaves
This is probably the legendary Samor.
Old York still remembered, Mr. Ateliers who had just escaped from the city said,
The powerful Samor army in the south has just defeated the local Lord Stian with one hundred thousand troops on the outskirts of the Kudan Plain.
Now these southerners have become the new owners of this land,
For these major events that have only been heard in rumors and gossip,
Most people in the town hold the attitude of just changing someone to collect taxes.
But to see these murderous knights in person is another matter.
"It's terrible." Old York panted, leaning down hesitantly,
The already rickety hunchback looked more curved, and I prayed secretly in my heart,
I hope these rulers from the South can increase taxes less,
I hope they will not drive themselves from their dilapidated homes to the more desolate west as the rumors do.
The bright moonlight shines from the small slits of the slightly open windows in the room,
Like a sharp blade, dividing the darkness in the room into two distinct pieces,
A ray of light, a ray of darkness!
Fatty led the cavalry guards stationed at the Latukite Manor, and asked Hu Keqili to go to the Salon Camp outside the city of Coodan on his behalf.
"This is a letter from Mrs. Jelinkana in Kudan City to an adult. Hu Keqili handed the letter to Salon with a weird face and whispered to him.
"My lord asked me to tell you that he will arrive at Kudan in 2 days! He hopes to see Kudan's open door when he arrives"
"Kudan's open door?" Hu Keqi's ambiguous transmission made Salong stunned.
The meaning of these words is too much. The gate of Kudan City is not as weak as a piece of paper in front of tens of thousands of Samor troops.
Saron believes that at most one squadron can easily occupy this nominal gate.
But it is clear that the Grand Duke delayed the trip at this moment,
and gave myself a 2-day deadline,
I'm afraid this result is not needed
"Yes, Kudan opened the door!" Hu Keqili was Saron's favorite general when he was the commander of the cavalry guards, otherwise he would not assume the position of Saron after Saron left. ,
Hu Keqili has always remembered this gift of knowledge and experience,
Naturally, I will give some hints to my old officials at this critical moment
"What the adults need is Kudan's human heart, and they want Kudan himself to open the door of the city in front of the adults!" Hu Keqili emphasized his tone.
He knows that his veteran officer is a good man in war, and he is a little too close to playing politics.
I could not help but reminded again in a low voice in Salon’s ear, and handed a note attached to the back of the letter into Salon’s hand,
"Kudan's heart!" Salon looked at the letter in his hand with a bitter mouth,
It was the Grand Duke who issued the deportation order. When he used coercive means to expel the Kudan for most of the time, it was also the Grand Duke who asked to regain the hearts of the people.
This is too difficult! ~
"Actually, this is not impossible!" Hu Keqili looked at Salon with a bitter melon face, and knew that the chief executive who executed the demolition order must be mixed with five flavors in his heart at this time.
Offended most of the Kudan people, but now they have to regain their hearts within 2 days,
For Salon, who is not good at government affairs, this is simply an impossible task.
"It's just!" Hu Keqili looked around cautiously, then stopped talking.
"You go down and rest first!" Salong saw Hu Keqili's expression, knowingly ordered his generals to disperse,
When the generals had already withdrawn from the tent, Hu Keqili whispered in Salon’s ear
"The heart of Kudan is in Kudan city, but Kudan city is in the hands of Mrs. Jerinkana,
All the adults have to do is to reach an agreement with this Mrs. Jelinkana! "
"Agreement!"Saron's face was full of embarrassment,
It is okay for him to fight a war, to sit at the negotiating table calmly, like a seasoned politician, and bargain with enemies like a merchant,
Moreover, there is still a time limit for negotiation, which undoubtedly makes Salon, a bloodthirsty man, feel depressed and want to vomit blood
"This is too difficult!" Saraon couldn't help sighing, and shook his head helplessly
"My lord, don’t let the grand duke’s painstaking pains be disappointed!" Hu Keqili saw Saron’s frustrated look and continued." Since the grand duke gave this letter to the lord, he actually gave the entire library Dancheng's supreme control is in the hands of adults
Regaining the hearts of the people is the archduke’s strong point. Do you still remember how the archduke regained the southern Riwa Chaze? "
"Southern Riwa Chaze? You mean..." There was a look on Salong's depressed face, as if he was thinking of something,
Although Saraon did not participate in Satsuma’s battle for the South, Saraon has also heard about the South.
Especially the relationship between Caesar Sauron and Salon of the Northern Legion is good. In the letters of the two, there are many mentions of the situation in the south at that time.
Looking back now, the Japanese car at that time has many similarities with the current Kudan city.
One is a century-old southern aristocratic cultural center, and the other is a century-old northern aristocratic cultural center.
Samoor entered as an invader forcefully,
"Land is what the farmers desire most! And wealth is a fatal temptation to the nobility!
To gain a firm foothold in the shortest time, as long as some special methods are indispensable,
Why don’t you learn from some of the great duke’s practices in the southern Japanese car policy."
Hu Keqili saw Salon's face suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly became tight.
Saron the Cyclops is the most famous among the Samor army,
Even many generals in the guard cavalry now, seeing the one-eyed one-eyed of the old officer, Salon, couldn’t help but feel cold.
Hu Keqili was afraid that Salon would be wrong, and quickly reminded me cautiously
"If I am not mistaken, the reason why the Grand Duke wants you to do this is to pave the way for you to be the consul of the Kudan region!
North Kudan is the most important hub area to control the entire north,
Adults must give it to the person they trust the most,
Looking at the entire Samer, no one except the adults has such prestige and loyalty to the Grand Duke,
"Loyal?" Salong's face was faint, not knowing the meaning of Hu Keqili's words
"The adults resolutely implemented the demolition order and offended the Kudan people, but they won the grand duke's loyal recognition to the adults" Hu Keqili saw Saron's suspicious eyes and continued to explain
"If the adults can accomplish this task well, I believe that the adults will be the second commander of the corps in addition to the Southern Army's Statunko in addition to the sergeant Statunko of the Southern Army!
This should be the Grand Duke, a reward for your outstanding performance in this battle of Kudan! "
"Ah, it's impossible..." Salon's one eye lit up, almost shouting excitedly,
Unexpectedly, one year after being placed alone on the northern line of defense, there is still the possibility of achieving such a glorious achievement,
"This is what an adult deserves! No adult stays alone in the north,
The Grand Duke couldn’t safely pull out his hand to unify the entire central and southern part of the kingdom.
Speaking of which, adults can be regarded as Samor's greatest hero!
The Grand Duke's ability to deliver tens of thousands of Samor's elite to the adults during the entire campaign is in itself a recognition of the loyalty to the adults! "
"No matter how great a monarch, the loyalty of his subordinates is always the first!"
Hu Keqili patted Salon on the shoulder with emotion,
Thinking that I have gone through dozens of **** battles from south to north. Although it looks like the confidant of the Grand Duke now, there is still a long way to go from Saraon, who is about to be released.
What may be lacking is "loyalty" to the unconditional execution of the grand duke’s orders
"Here I first wish my lord to be promoted to the chief officer of the Kudan region." Hu Keqili, who was still stunned by Salong, gave a military salute and took the reins of the war horse from the guards outside the tent.
Seeing that Hu Keqili was about to leave, Saron quickly kept him. Hu Keqili said to the one who kept him, "I also want to stay here for a few days, but the military affairs are urgent, so I have to rush to the west to meet someone. An important northern guest!"
"Guest from the north!" Saron asked strangely, "Are they Kujites again? Aren't they besieging Aichamore?"
"Haha!" Hu Keqili said with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "I heard that those arrogant Kujites were surrounded by Swadian troops in Aichamore, this time they are here for help!" /
"No way, the Khergits used 80,000 troops!"Saron was taken aback by Hu Keqili's words and thought he had heard it wrong. 80,000 cavalry is not 80,000 infantry.
For cavalry fighting, it’s easy to travel hundreds of miles a day,
Especially the Kujites are well aware of the way of hunting horses. The cavalry group is like a hurricane roaring across the grassland, with fearsome high mobility and powerful combat power.
In the vast grassland extending in all directions, encircle the 80,000 brave and fighting Kujit light cavalry,
That's just like a talk of heaven and night,
But what swift methods and calculations are needed for the Swadian people to do it!
Think about the Kujit War two years ago, but Kujit’s 40,000 left-guard cavalry almost turned the entire north-central Vikia into a hornet’s nest,
If it weren’t for the strong rise of Fat Samor,
Vickia may have long been a pasture for the Kujit cavalry! ,
"I heard that Marshal Berrant of Swadian took the shot himself this time." Hu Keqili had a strange face and shook his head sighingly.
"This time, the Swadian army fought beautifully. They used the 20,000 Swadian army holding Eichmore to fight the Kujites on the inner wall of Echmore. Street fighting was not. The strength of the Kujites, the 80,000 army was dragged by the 20,000 Swadian infantry for half a month,
Just as the final line of defense of Aichemore was about to be broken, the Swadian Marshal Burrant, who had already assembled, personally led the 30,000 cavalry soldiers rushing to the north for 3 days and 3 nights.
Suddenly attacked the rear court of the Kujites too far ahead,
The Wang Court was attacked~IndoMTL.com~The exhausted Kujit main force had to choose to retreat,
The result is when passing through the Laha area
I was once again flanked by the Swadian 100,000 Northern Army who withdrew from the Stian Territory,
Countless deaths in the Kujit army, it is said that even King Kujit was seriously injured!
Kujit special envoy Doweiyan walked into the verdant courtyard with a heavy heart,
The cool summer breeze mixed with the fragrance of green grass pours into the nose,
Duo Weiyan’s heavy heart feels more anxious, in her hometown, the vast Kujit grassland,
This season is when weeds grow wildly and horses gallop,
Now, there is sorrow everywhere,
The intruder has become an intruded!
What an irony this is!
