548 cold thorn six
"I heard that King Kujit Khan, the most evil king in the north, also died in the hands of Your Excellency. I don’t know if this news is true."
Looking at the pale Marquis Chabold in front of him, Sarilk continued to ask with a light smile on his mouth, which seemed to be a peer-like question, but his representative identity and indisputable tone were like Is interrogating the prisoner
Of course"
Chaibold's eyes were round, and he stopped straightening his body quickly. Although his heart was numb, his mouth did not seem to let go. Anyway, he had recited these words countless times in order to deal with the winter situation like today.
"That was an unexpected big gain"
The face of the Marquis de Chaibode reveals an excitement that cannot be concealed
"I received a report from guard scouts that a group of thousands of Kujit cavalry passed through my territory. I think they must be supporting the Kujit who are fighting against the main force of the kingdom. How can I If you can let them do this, there are thousands of them, and they are all well-equipped royal cavalry. If they are allowed to pass through the Bogut Corridor in the north-central part from me, I am afraid that the king who originally had the advantage will Will be trapped in a situation of being attacked by the enemy"
Chaibold looked at Sarelke with a focused face in front of him, and said with a mysterious face
"So I decided to ambush them in a mountain stream they were passing by. To be honest, I didn't think about it so much. It was completely out of loyalty to His Majesty and the responsibility of a lord. It was a trough between two mountains. , In the first round, my archer shot an enemy leader running at the forefront, and then the Kujites ran away like rabbits, completely discarding the leader’s body there"
Chaibold's voice stopped, and he licked his dry lips unexpectedly. "That's it, by examining the corpse, I knew I killed King Kujit Khan"
"That's it?"
Sarilke looked at him with a stunned expression. If it weren’t for the influence of this incident, Sarelke would really like to stand up and slap this idiot fiercely in the face.
The dignified King Kujit Khan was killed, but the guards of the royal court slipped away. This is far more than the night talk,
Thinking of the sensational reaction of this incident at the meeting at the time, Sarelk’s forehead black line, what **** battle for several days, killing the enemy chief and the mountain stream, I am afraid that it was only after the gang of the military department polished it. Appeared grandiosely on the table pressed by His Majesty the King, now that I think about it, it’s really a big surprise in the world,
It’s no wonder that His Majesty the King deliberately asked himself to deal with the aftermath of this incident when he was out of Beijing this time. I am afraid that the truth of this incident would have been known for a long time
"Two adults, what are you talking about here? It seems to be very interesting"
Just when Sarelke was speechless with grief and anger, the whispers of the two of them undoubtedly attracted the attention of other people in the banquet.
The lord of the defense of the neighbouring Agir region, the Marquis of Haller, and his confidant general Machuka also walked not far away. Compared with the tall figure of the Duke Lofthauser, the Duke of Haller appeared I have become thinner, and have repeatedly fought on the battlefield in the past 20 to 30 years, with many scars on his body and countless scars
He likes to live the life of an ascetic monk with light tea and light rice. He is not as indulgent as Lofthauser, so although he is ten years older than Lofthauser, his face looks better than Loft. Thauser needs to be ruddy, and he needs to be radiant
He was originally the lord of the Suluo region, because of the southern treaty with the Rude people, he had to give up his territory to the north and serve as the lord of the Agir region.
"It's a great honor for the Lord Duke to be here. Originally, I was planning to go to Agil to pay a special visit to you. Now I can save this fatigue."
In the face of the duke who has experienced many battles, Sarelke quickly got up from his seat and saluted. This is a true warrior. Under his leadership, the southern Suluo region can fight against the rude people. After 30 years of attacking and stable as a rock, his contribution is the most significant. This time the southern battle ended, although out of the overall situation, he had no choice but to cede the Suluo area. The stubborn grand duke never did it during the contact. Give the rude people a good face, and this is why the rude people in the south also admire him.
His Majesty gave him the most important military town of the three northern counties, Agil. In addition to compensating for his losses in the south, he also vaguely intended him to serve as the military commander of the three northern counties.
King Kujit Khan died in the northern county. According to the Kujit style, revenge is inevitable.
The three northern counties now have less than 10,000 troops, and the main force of the king’s army is stuck in the Bogut promenade, and it is impossible to mobilize extra troops for a while. The status of Duke Haller, the defensive master, is extremely important.
"Oh, do you need my help from Administrator Sarelke?" Duke Halle smiled. To Sarelke, His Majesty’s agent in the three northern counties, his tone was clear. If there is no respect,
"This is a letter of order issued by His Majesty the King before leaving Beijing, instructing people to make a special trip to the Lord Duke."
Sarilke respectfully took out a letter with a red lacquer from his arms and handed it to the puzzled Duke of Halle, and said again with a more emphasis on his tone, "Your Majesty the King also specially confessed, as long as it is The requirements of the Lord Duke must be satisfied as much as possible"
"Oh, this is?"
The Duke of Halle opened the letter gently, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared immediately, and his ruddy face was slightly white
"Within 3 months, forming an army of 20,000 people, is this too harsh?" Duke Halle stared at the letter, his eyes flickering, and hesitated to himself, "The entire northern counties" The population is only more than 10,000. Where can I find young adults of 20,000?"
"You don’t need to worry about this, Lord Duke." Sarelke leaned forward ~ IndoMTL.com~ bent over and whispered in the ear of the Duke, "Your Majesty has dispatched about 20,000 weapons and equipment from Kyoto, as for the soldiers. Adults can think of a solution from the large manor owners in the three northern counties. As far as I know, with the influx of refugees from the north, these large manor owners have at least 10,000 in their hands, and they are all young and powerful. The middle-aged people, not to mention the moths who only know the country’s wealth, it should be cleared long ago."
"Doing so, I'm afraid it will cause a bad reaction"
The Duke of Halle looked embarrassed, "Most of these manor owners are nobles and have direct connections with the officers in the army. If they are moved, I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny in the army."
"My lord, don’t forget. Your Majesty has given him three months, but it’s not just to form a defense." Sarelke’s face suddenly became a little sordid, and he whispered, "These three northern counties’ army and those The lords arrested for treason are inextricably linked. They are no longer competent for the defense task of the three northern counties. To break their connection step by step, what your majesty needs is a three northern counties under complete control. County"
