Power and Empire Chapter 714: The decision of the South (2)
714 Southern Decision (2)
Seeing so many southern aristocrats, only one dared to stand up and say something fair. The bandit leader Ruida slowly leaned back to the back of the chair with a pale face.
Wei Ran let out a long sigh, and said with emotion, "The disaster of extinction is right in front of you. The adults are watching with cold eyes, but only the Marquis still remembers the original intention of the union. How can my lonely 8,000 people stop the iron hoof of Vicky Asia? , It’s really chilling when I think about it"
"Captain Ruida, you are wrong to say that"
From the seat opposite him stood up a young man with an arrogant look. The gold lines on his clothes indicated his noble status. The blue jacket was tied with solid gold buttons, and the three-petal golden silk elm on his chest Ye Heraldry shows that someone in his family once served the royal family.
His name is Celeppe, an adjutant to Tazar, the commander of the First Army,
His ancestor was a minister of military affairs of the kingdom, and he was also considered a wealthy man in the south. As a distinguished nobleman, he always looked disdainful of bandits and chaos like Ruida. ,
He looked at Ruida with an uneven face and pressed his palms heavily on the table. Although he was very young, he still wanted to put on a very imposing look like an experienced politician.
Looking down at Ruida, the corners of his disrespectful mouth curled up and said
"The Vikya people go south to the mountain pass that is at stake. I think it is just an excuse from your Excellency. My Swadian army of 300,000 Chen Bing is on the front line of Paravin, and it is only two days away from here.
While the Vikiyas only have 40,000 troops, just to give them ten courage, it is impossible for them to fight south under the attention of 300,000 troops.
Yes, this is not to fight the Dongting people, this is the invasion of the **, the kingdom may let it go
Selepe's voice stopped, and he said contemptuously
"You are advocating the danger of the Vikya people going south because you want to increase the rationing of your army.
"Does the bandit group of 8,000 mobs want to get the same treatment as the regular army? It's really laughable. Celepe's voice stopped, and he said in a more accented tone, "Don't forget, you are in the south. I joined us only if I couldn’t hang on. Accepting such a bandit is already the pity of you adults. In such a meeting, it’s not your turn."
"The 300,000 army? That is the 300,000 army that treats each other as the enemy, right" Ruida stared at Selepe with a smug look, and there was nothing to say except a wry smile in his mouth.
These nobles are still thinking before, and they still regard it as the era of mainland hegemony. He wants to say, if the 300,000 army is really so powerful, why would it be suppressed by the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Dongting people. ? The number has long ceased to have a deterrent effect. The Swadian army, which was known as an elite, has now become a concentration camp for the refugees. The 300,000 army made up temporarily may not even be as powerful as the 60,000 Vikians’ combat strength. ,
Swadian is no longer the powerful kingdom that sneezed at the beginning, which can make the mainland tremble a few times. Now Swadian has been hollowed out by war and famine, except for the third in the south. The knights were restrained by the ruders and unable to move, the other elite corps were almost lost.
The power of the lion on the mainland has long ceased, and the threat of the Northern War is becoming more and more serious. At any time, this precarious country may become the target of the annexation of the two major powers of the North and the South.
Such an obvious form is this gangster who knows nothing, but these Swadian nobles still invade the memories of the past and imagine a powerful posture
"Really ridiculous" Ruida shook his head in extreme disappointment.
Despite his courage, how embarrassing his situation is, especially after the Berdak faction was placed under house arrest in Kyoto, his status plummeted,
Although I got the false name of the so-called Second Corps commander, it is actually just another name for the concentration camps used by the nobles to accommodate refugees. When fighting, these people are the lives of the past as cannon fodder, the most painful and tiring job. , Will always be in charge of the Second Army"
In this situation, he dared not say a lot of things. As Celepe said, he did kill a lot of civilians when he was a bandit in the south. Later, the people rioted and he was a murderous bandit. The leader has also become a key target of the attackers, and has to join the noble army to seek refuge,
During the period of joining the Southern Noble Army, except for the more open-minded and reckless Marquis of Burdak, who rapidly expanded his power, other nobles did not wait to see him,
The hall was very quiet, only the voices of the nobles drinking water, the big figures of the legions seemed to completely ignore the existence of Ruida. After a while, they found that there was no one to support Ruida, and they fell dejected.
"Forget it, sirs, let’s do it. I don’t dare to expect to do it. The fact is, in front of the Vijaya army going south, even the people of Dongting were beaten to the ground, not to mention us, everyone. You can’t protect yourself.
Hey, it's really scary. I heard that the Vickia Falcons led a group of chaotic people to the point where they are today. I really have nothing to say besides admiring Ruida. I heard that many of the Vijaya army were from mountain hunters, the big deal is that I just surrendered"
"Cowardly, I said that unreliable bandits are unreliable. Swadian's strength depends on us aristocratic elites..." The indomitable adjutant Celepe stared at Rui with contempt. Up to a glance,
This is the nobleman. For his own benefit, he can disregard the overall situation. Just when he wants to continue speaking, he is ready to use a show of righteous and awe-inspiring rebuke to the villain to win the brilliant smile of the opposite Marquis of Birhamming,
A middle-aged nobleman in his top position waved his hand and stopped
"Enough, Celepe, although the other party is indeed not brave, but it is still loyal to us. Let's raise a dog that is obedient and can bite. If the Vikya people go south, we will bear the brunt of this. I still didn’t say anything "
The boss who saw him spoke, Celepe had to sit down with a sense of excitement, but his high face was triumphant, as if he had just won a bragging victory.
Many of his nobles have long been holding back their energy and want to teach this hillbilly to strengthen the pirates. His outstanding performance will undoubtedly make him add a weight to the hearts of all the adults, which has a great influence on the improvement of his reputation. Maybe after the meeting, there will be rumors of young and cutting-edge names on the head,
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was the bright opposite Marquis of Birhamming, who seemed a little absent-minded. He stared at the old brown table in a daze with his eyes as bright as mist. In this beautiful eyes, what a wonderful thing is that
Rida's face turned red and white while sitting on the seat, and her vicious eyes seemed to file the bones of the opposite Selepe, but she couldn't relieve her hatred.
The face of this middle-aged man is very suitable to be called courage. When looking at a certain target, a pair of deep eyes seems to be a flash of light flowing. The bridge of the nose is straight, almost flush with the forehead, giving a person a classical sculpture. His beauty and long eyelashes add a passionate appeal to his eyes,
In the face of this middle-aged man, Ruida's face became a little ugly, and he didn't even have the courage to refute. He is the most powerful first army commander Tazar, the new leader of the noble army,
This time the 80,000 noble army has been re-shuffled. This prestige is second only to the former leader, Marquis Berdak, and the second-ranked noble army who is responsible for staying at the base camp has won the support of 60% of the nobles.
This Lord Marquis of Tazar is handsome, and he was a high lord famous for his brutality when he was in the south.
It is said that in this southern violence*, in order to prevent the refugees from entering his territory, he personally ordered more than 4,000 people to be buried alive. In his territory, the disabled elderly and weak children, Must be cleared and exiled to reduce the supply of food. He has 3,000 well-equipped soldiers under his command.
His toughness towards the refugees is undoubtedly the most supported by the little lord who has suffered from the disaster of the refugees. The Marquis of Berdak, who is good at reunification and resources, was placed under house arrest in Kyoto, and the hardliners represented by the Marquis of Tazar lost their suppression The power of,
Faced with the chaos and the pressing force of the Paravenin neophyte to seize power, the desire for a strong figure to appear has also become the consensus of the Southern Noble Army.
In this division, his First Legion is also the largest of the four legions, with a total of 50,000 people, and most of them are elite noble guards and private armies, which are the strongest in the southern noble army. Legion
His words almost represent the attitude of the entire Southern Noble Army~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing him, the nobles who have been silent in the hall renewed their spirits to discuss the real theme of the meeting,
"Even if we are not ready to go to the battlefield yet. But after all, our army has been concentrated, with 80,000 troops and 6 cities, even if the Vikians have great abilities, it is impossible to divide the troops. Six roads attacked us at once, not to mention that we are in front of the army from Kyoto, and behind us is a large area of land in the south that can be used for retreat."
An aristocrat who used to be in the army stood in front of a map and talked freely
"Isn’t it too early to discuss this issue? Didn’t we say it was done before. We will never provoke the Wikiyas. According to the Wikiyas’ habits, the possibility of proactively declaring war is unlikely. We actually have nothing to do. Worried"
"Yeah, this was originally a superfluous thing." Another nobleman conforms to the Tao." The Vikya people have just a little force, and they have just fought fiercely with the Dongting people for more than 3 months, unless they can fight ten of them. Otherwise, it's the Vickia Falcon going crazy"
