"They have been entrenched there for many years, and they have long known everything there, and we are not familiar with the situation there, so if we attack rashly, it is easy to fall into their trap and suffer a big loss. This is the first battle of our suppression of bandits, and the first battle will be won, if we don't fight well, then those who covet the position of the teacher's governor in the court will use this matter to trouble the teacher, wouldn't it be bad at that time? ”

Taylor couldn't stop nodding his head when he said this, frowning, looking thoughtful, it seemed that he was talking to his heart, but it annoyed Charlie, the commander of the Fourth Legion, Charlie glanced at Colliford with some dissatisfaction, and said in a strange tone: "Count Colliford, you mean that the regular army under my command can't even deal with a few bandits?" ”

This is obviously nothing to do, but Clifford doesn't dare to face him head-on now, his army is Taylor's capital based on the three counties in the north, and he is just a trickster, if he really pinched it, Taylor will definitely greet the other party and Charlie politely, and said: "General Charlie, of course I believe that your army can clean up Dupont, but what if?" If we don't do a good job, then we won't be able to get off the stage. I have always had high respect for General Charlie, but this matter involves the future of the three northern counties and all of us, and I dare not tell the truth because of my personal feelings. ”

Taylor was very satisfied with Cliffor's attitude, looked at him approvingly, and finally shook his head and said: "I think Clifford has a point, we have just come here, the first battle must be 100% sure, if there is any mistake, everyone's future will be affected." ”

Cliffor's guess is right, Taylor is really a person who seeks stability, it's no wonder, he is fifty years old, and he has been on the cold bench for a long time to get this position for a few days, how can he not cherish it? It must be that there is no danger at all, and I will not take it.

Since the Governor had spoken, the others were not good at what to say, but Charlie, the commander of the Fourth Legion, was still dissatisfied, and no matter what, the Governor refuted his face in front of everyone, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and he turned his face aside, snorted, and did not say a word.

Taylor, an old fox who is old and sophisticated, naturally sees through Charlie's thoughts, he knows whether he can gain a foothold in the north, Charlie's cooperation is very important, if the other party does not do a good job, or even stumbles, then it will be difficult for him to show his strength here, smiled slightly, and said: "Charlie, the situation in Duolai County and Heihe County in the north is very complicated, I think you don't have to come back after you exterminate Joseph's bandits this time, take a brigade to be stationed in Duolai County to defend, and you will send another brigade to defend Heihe County, Leave one division to me to defend the most important county of Chaoen. ”

According to the establishment of the Rhine Kingdom, a corps was divided into two divisions, and a division was divided into two brigades, and according to Taylor's deployment, he divided the fourth corps into three parts, and he left half of his strength to help him defend Chaoen County. Divide the other division into two, one part to Charlie and let him guard Duolai County, and the other part to let them guard Heihe County, which is a bit of a dismemberment of the Fourth Army.

From this incident, it is enough to see Taylor's old spiciness, he doesn't want this army to be in Charlie's hands, so won't he have to listen to him for everything in the future?

However, Charlie was very satisfied with Taylor's arrangement, although he lost control of the entire legion, but he got the territory, the territory of an entire county, plus another brigade sent to guard the Black River, which was originally his old subordinate, could he not listen to him? In this way, wouldn't he control the territory of the two counties at once, and this transaction was simply profitable.

Charlie has no ambition to compete for the world, in fact, few people have this ambition, he just wants to keep retaining and expanding his power, and he feels that it is very cost-effective to exchange the strength of one division for the territory of two counties, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay Governor, I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

Taylor was very satisfied with his attitude, in fact, he was not worried that Charlie would take the opportunity to become a warlord, warlords will only appear after the country's chaos, and now the state apparatus of the Rhine Kingdom is still operating effectively, Charlie's army still needs to rely on the central government to pay silver, he himself has no power to levy salaries, and he cannot interfere in local affairs, so he has no chance to become a warlord, at most he is a little more powerful in the local area, and said with a smile: "I believe in your ability, let Clifford go with you this time, he is resourceful, I hope I can help you. ”

After that, he turned to Clifford and said, "Clifford, you will report the situation there to me at any time after you go, do you know?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone understood that this was to send Colliford to be the overseer, although Colliford was young, he was already an earl, and in this era, the title was much more important than the official position, and many dignitaries and dignitaries were mixed with death and could not mix with a little title, so sending him to be the superintendent, everyone did not feel abrupt, after all, the identity was there.

After hearing Taylor's order, Cliffor's whole body was shocked, he was excited, the teacher can hand over such an important position to himself, it is definitely a trust in himself, how can he not be excited, not moved? He bowed to Taylor and said, "Thank you, teacher, the students will definitely live up to your hopes." ”

Charlie, the commander of the Fourth Legion, glanced at Clifford, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, there are two types of people he looks down on the most in his life, one is the one who eats and waits for death by relying on the merits of his ancestors, and the other is the so-called strategists who can only play tricks.

Charlie snorted coldly in his heart, and said secretly: You kid is lucky, you can rely on the glory of your ancestors to be my supervisor, but you'd better not point fingers casually, otherwise I won't be polite to you, and said with a smile: "Lord Supervisor, I will ask you to take care of me when the time comes." ”

"Where, where." Clifford hurriedly saluted: "General Charlie has experienced a hundred battles, I just went to study." When the time comes, I hope that General Charles will give him advice. ”

"Hmph, that's easy to say." Charlie shook his sleeves and said arrogantly: "As long as you are willing to study humbly after you go, I have something to teach you." ”

Clifford will not deal with this kind of person who relies on the old and sells the old, but my brother has crossed over, and he has a golden finger, and he still needs you to teach? It's just that it will take time for his golden finger to evolve, and he doesn't know much about the military of this era, so he needs to use Charlie to investigate, let you pretend for a while, and then let you see your brother's strength later.
