"Cut, anyone else would do this, and that's a fart! Change one! ”

"Uh, well, when are we betting he's going to attack?"

"Good! I'm betting on noon tomorrow! ”

"I'm betting the day after tomorrow! After all, it takes time for the news to come, and it is necessary to stabilize the morale of the army, and the attack can only be launched the day after tomorrow. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Damn, what's there to bet on, I bet that his first attack will be the whole army! Who would dare bet with me? One pays two! ”

"Damn, I'm not an idiot when I won a month's worth of money to bet on Kate! For the first attack, he dispatched a maximum of one brigade of troops! ”

"Okay, kill you! Who else bets? ”

These high-ranking officers were not doing their jobs here, gambling in broad daylight, and should have been punished according to military regulations, but the officers responsible for enforcing military regulations not only did not object, but participated in it.

Although it may seem undisciplined, for those soldiers and junior officers who do not know the truth, the behavior of the immediate boss in this way reassures them.

Just when the two sides were confronting each other, in a mansion in the capital of Haiquan Province, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome, a little immature but pretending to be a mature demeanor, was facing a Kate officer with the rank of major and asking, "Where has General Kate been?" ”

"Your Highness, the marshal has entered the seaside province, although it has not been accurately reported, but according to the time, the marshal's cavalry should be spreading joy on the land of the seaside province." The major was a little arrogant.

"Oh, I hope that General Kate can return victoriously as soon as possible, and Haiquan Province can't leave General Kate's guidance at all." The Seventh Prince looked emotional.

"Yes, in fact, the marshal has temporarily entrusted the management to His Highness, and when the marshal is away, His Highness can help the marshal govern Haiquan Province." The major said respectfully with a smile.

The look of longing in the eyes of the Seventh Prince flashed, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "How is it possible? I don't have the ability to command indiscriminately, I'm afraid I'll make a mess of Haiquan Province, what's the matter, let's wait for General Kate to come back and deal with it." ”

The major was not polite, and nodded directly and said: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will not bother, but please rest assured, once the latest information comes, the subordinates will tell Your Highness as soon as possible, and Your Highness does not need to bother to inquire." ”

Hearing this, the Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and gurgled, although he wanted to cut off this major, but he could only nod with a very grateful smile: "Then there is Your Excellency Lao." ”

"Don't dare, it's just the responsibility of subordinates." After the major finished speaking, he did not bow down or salute, but just nodded and turned to leave.

After the major left, the Seventh Prince, who had endured for a long time, finally had a seizure, slammed the table, and yelled with a hideous face: "Damn the rebel thief!" When His Royal Highness ascends to the great treasure, he must kill all of you! ”

"Your Highness is angry." A voice that seemed to be pinching his throat suddenly sounded, and the owner of this voice was a middle-aged man with a beardless face, smooth skin, and a somewhat feminine demeanor.

Seeing this middle-aged man, the Seventh Prince calmed down, nodded and said, "I don't want to be angry, it's just that they don't take me seriously...... Is it because I'm a puppet that you can snub me like this? How can I say that I am also the Seven Princes, and I am the banner on their faces! If you give some face, you'll die! ”

Looking at this Seventh Prince, who was a little childish at the moment, the middle-aged man smiled, and then said softly with a calm expression: "Your Highness, if you want to become a king, don't think about any face issues, only strength is real." ”

"Of course I understand this, but I just can't control myself." When the Seventh Prince said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk about this, how are things going?" ”

"Under the cover of the loyalists, the Assassins are already lurking in the Iron Cavalry, and as long as Kate uses this elite, he must get close to this force, and the Assassins will find an opportunity to assassinate them." The middle-aged man said.

"Well, it's a pity that you can't put the assassins in the guard system, otherwise it would be better to start." The Seventh Prince said a little dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man was silent about this. The personal guard is related to the life safety of the main general, and the selection of targets is naturally extremely strict, and the slightest problem will not be selected, and the most important thing to be able to serve as a personal guard is loyalty, if there is no accident, don't want to buy cronies at all.

The Seventh Prince suddenly remembered something, and said with an uneasy face: "Yes, recently, the guards around Kate have been vigilant to the point of perversion, that is, Kate has to check it carefully when she goes to the toilet, do you say Kate knows our plan?" ”

The middle-aged man's lips moved, as if he was very helpless, and said, "Your Highness, if you were Kate and knew who was going to assassinate you, what would you do?" ”

"Of course, I gave this guy the first time...... Uh, I see, Kate didn't find out about our plans. The Seventh Prince, who suddenly came to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also immediately full of doubts: "Then why is he so nervous?" ”

The middle-aged man shrugged: "I don't know about this, but since it has nothing to do with us, then don't bother with it, right?" ”

The Seventh Prince felt that this was indeed the case, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you should pay close attention to that side and tell me as soon as there is good news." ”

"Yes, then I quit below."

The middle-aged man, like the major, nodded and left, as if the Seventh Prince was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth and cursing something.

A brigade of cavalry, guarding 10,000 unarmed slaves, to be honest, was an unusually easy job. Quite simply, keeping them locked up in the camp and the cavalry on guard outside the camp made it impossible for these slaves to rebel or escape, as for slave infighting...... What's the matter with the cavalry?

Monitor this grassland? Behind is the valley where they came, the logistics team transporting supplies is constantly going back and forth, and in front is the mountainous area controlled by four cavalry brigades.

Therefore, in the steppe area in the middle, after a round of inspections, the 5th Brigade retreated to the camp to rest, and only placed a few guard points on the transportation line.

Because they had nothing to do, after dinner and set up the sentry posts, the senior officers of Kate's 5th Brigade all gathered together to chat and fart, and they couldn't drink, so they had to spit while pouring tea.

"Alas, what a pain! Who would have thought that there would be no water source in this grassland? Today, I pulled the water wheel of the logistics team from the valley to this big operation water all day long! What annoys me the most is that the amount of work is doubled because of the presence of those slaves! ”

One of the colonels grumbled, the others looked sympathetic, because it would be their turn to deliver water at any moment, and only the brigade logistics chief and his men were smirking.

Originally, this was the work of the logistics team, but most of the logistics soldiers either went to support the advance base, or went back to Haiquan Province to pull supplies, so they had to aggrieve these arrogant knights to go out.

Don't want to do it? Okay, let's die of thirst together.

"If you want me to say, let's not treat those captives as human beings, follow the example of Zhao Hujun, and directly use them as slaves, so that not only can we liberate our cavalry, but also make these slaves not fight all day long."

"Hey, don't think about this, I heard that the marshal is going to recruit these captives to form an infantry brigade, and they will be our colleagues in the future, and it is impossible to use them as slaves!"

"Hey, I see......" The whining colonel suddenly suggested excitedly: "Can we use the reason of increasing affection and ask them to help carry water?" It shows that we trust them. ”

The logistics chief smiled: "I still wish you drove these prisoners of war, do you think it is not a heavy task to be responsible for the supply of a brigade?" ”

The brigade commanders nodded and said, "As long as you can control these prisoners of war and prevent them from escaping and rebelling, you can also let them help with the work." ”

Several colonel officers who would be rotated to carry out the task of delivering water immediately patted their chests and promised: "Haha, don't worry, just their gang of deflated three, I can wipe them all out with one wing!" With us watching, they definitely can't jump! ”

After solving a troublesome matter, the officers chatted and talked about it, and after another hala, a colonel officer sighed and said: "What a boredom, the brothers of the other brigades have made great achievements in the front, but our fifth brigade has become a prisoner of war camp.

"Brigade commander, why don't you talk to the commander and send a few wings from us to help? In any case, only one wing is needed to manage these prisoners of war, which can also reduce the burden of water delivery on the logistics team. ”

As soon as these words came out, several wing commanders immediately catered to them: "Yes, yes, here is a vast grassland in the middle, and there are mountains on the side, just in a circle, and those prisoners who only rely on two legs will not be shot by our cavalry if they can't run far...... There is no need for a whole brigade to stay behind, which is a waste of the brothers' youth! ”

Later, all the officers joined in, but they were so tired of idleness that they hurriedly instigated the brigade commander to fight for the opportunity to make a meritorious deed, taking advantage of the gathering of all the officers.

The brigade commander was already full of complaints because he was selected for the mission left behind, but now he was instigated by his subordinates in this way, and immediately agreed. As soon as the brigade commander agreed, the wings below immediately quarreled, there was no way, only four of the five wings could go, and no one wanted to be the one who stayed.

While the officers were arguing, the rest of the cavalry, except for the unlucky ones on patrol, had long since slept peacefully.
