If Dikal II's diplomatic measures only worried Sulla, his next move forced Sulla to discard his usual appearance of not being interested in politics and to admonish Dikal because of his decision to remove Adlem from his position. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the peace agreement reached with all three parties to the Paz Empire, Dikar II felt that his northern frontier was safer than ever, so he decided to send the 50,000 cavalry originally stationed on the northern border to reinforce the war with Palchi in the south. The 50,000-strong army, consisting of 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 camel soldiers, was arguably the most elite remaining force in Arubania. Since the loss of a large number of troops and generals in the battle against Yaqui, the remaining mobile combat force of Arubania is only 50,000 men in the north and 20,000 cavalry stationed in the capital Basrady for many years. Some of the remaining cavalry units were formed later, and they have not yet returned to their original level.

Fortunately, after that defeat, Arubania remained on the defensive against Yaki, and Yaki was caught in the war with Palchi in the south and had no time to look north, so although there were not enough cavalry stationed on the southern border of Arubania, there was no danger, which is why Adlem had only 1,000 cavalry to mobilize in the last battle of Argoba.

Now that Dikar has decided to transfer all the mobile forces on the northern border to the south, the clear question is who will command this cavalry force. Although the military commanders of Arubania suffered an unprecedented blow, this did not include the generals who had been stationed in the north for many years, and it was the famous Arubanian generals Shurya and Abrahe who commanded this cavalry.

Speaking of these two generals, their seniority in the Arubanian army is far superior to that of Adlerm. The two of them were already celebrities in Adlerm when they were little-known men, and they had been defending the Empire on the northern frontier for ten years. As for their power, it is enough to see that they can be sent by the previous king to defend against the threat of the mighty Paz Empire. Both of them are talents with wisdom and bravery, and they are also a rare pair of good partners. If it weren't for the fact that Adlem defeated the Yaqui army at the most critical juncture of the empire and established a military order that surpassed everyone else, then the position of general would most likely be chosen between the two of them.

Of course, Dicard is not a. In his eyes, Adlem is indeed better than these two famous generals in all aspects, except for his personality, and these two generals have always remained neutral in the political arena and have not contributed to his ascension to the throne. But now his biggest threat is Adlem rather than these two, so he has more trust in them.

If the cavalry is to be transferred to the south, then it is necessary to choose one of these two generals as the commander of the army, and once it is deployed in the south, the question of the ownership of this cavalry unit will arise - if the cavalry unit is under Adlem, then not to mention that Dikar himself is not very comfortable with this kind of disposition, even whether the two generals themselves can be convinced is also a big question. You must know that these two are better than Adlerm compared to their qualifications, and being later promoted to the position of general by Adlerm has already made these two very dissatisfied, and now they want to succumb to Adlem, who was demoted, it may be difficult to deal with the relationship between the two. In addition, Dikar has always believed that Adlem was deliberately slacking off in the Battle of Agoba and refused to fight with all his strength, resulting in the loss of the country, so he took this opportunity to deprive Adlem of his military power as a punishment.

Hearing his beloved concubine Sula disagree with his decision made Dikar a little unhappy, you must know that Sulla has always been very obedient to him and has never spoken disobediently, but today has set a precedent.

"Why does Concubine Ai think that it is wrong for the widow to do this?" Dikar said as he gently stroked Sura's waist.

Sula hooked Dikal's neck with her arm and said, "The concubine knows that His Majesty naturally has His Majesty's intentions in arranging this, but with the concubine's stupid thoughts, it seems that His Majesty is unable to do this perfectly. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"Your Majesty, please think about it, as a military general, it is natural to put honor first, but the concubine thinks that Adlem will not think so, and that person is not a military general in his bones. If His Majesty had brought Shurya or Abrahe under his command, perhaps the two generals would indeed be quite dissatisfied, and there would inevitably be friction between the generals; But if Your Majesty had put Adrim under these two generals, then that Adlem would probably have thrown his hands and pushed all the affairs to these two generals as a matter of course. The concubine knew His Majesty's opinion of this Adlem, but presumably His Majesty also agreed with his command skills. If such a person were allowed to do nothing, it would obviously be a detriment to Arubania's military strength. ”

"Well, what Concubine Ai said is also reasonable, but as you said, letting these two generals commit themselves to Adlerm will also cause discord among the generals."

Sula turned over and snuggled into Dikal's arms, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is an inevitable situation, but the two generals Shurya and Abrahe will definitely accept this reality, and only your majesty's words can calm the resentment in their hearts." ”

"A word?"

"Yes, Your Majesty just needs to tell them that even if Adlem moves to the left, he will be their general after all, and judging from the Arubanian tradition of meritocracy, there is nothing wrong with Adrim being their commander. And after all, Adlerham knows more about Palch's way of fighting than they do, and it is less likely to make mistakes when he commands him. Your Majesty, please think that although these two generals obey Adlem's orders, these cavalry belong to these two generals, and if Adlem's infantry can still cope with it, if it is a field battle, it will still rely on these two generals, so it can be concluded that he will definitely find a way to get along with these two generals. And when it really starts, it is these cavalry who can influence the victory, and the two generals can also use this to establish enough martial arts and accumulate combat experience against Palci. In this way, the two generals must be grateful to Your Majesty, and they will definitely be more loyal to Your Majesty. At that time, if His Majesty transfers Adlem away, won't it be a smooth sailing? ”

Dikar listened to Sula's words, and then he smiled and said, "Concubine Ai said it well! It is indeed more appropriate to do this, and it is really a blessing for a widow to be able to marry such a virtuous helper as you. ”

Dikar said as he tried to untie Sula's clothes. Su La hurriedly turned to one side and dodged, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the concubine has not menstruated this month, but I am afraid that she is already pregnant with Your Majesty's flesh and blood, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Dikar's face changed, and he said happily: "Is this the case?" The widow immediately called the imperial doctor to come. (To be continued.) )
