Chapter 207: An Opportunity Not to Be Missed
Jin Zongsima's words, Chen Jian could only smile bitterly. He knew very well that what this woman said was not right, as a leader, he was indeed very unqualified at the moment.
Chen Jian knows that he is not ruthless enough, and his heart is not ruthless enough, although he will also play with people's hearts, although he will also use some shady means to maintain his rule, but in general, he does things more according to his own preferences and spontaneity, and treats his subordinates with sincerity, rather than the so-called tricks of subordination.
He also knows that although he has a bit of a ghost idea from time to time, he is not good at controlling the overall situation.
His vision is more tactical than strategic.
Sima Jian's analysis was quite reasonable in Jian Chen's opinion, and with his understanding of Catherine, it was not difficult for him to imagine that Catherine would make such a decision.
Although Catherine can't give up her family, her subordinates may not give up.
In Chen Fa's heart, he was actually very reluctant to admit this possibility, he didn't want to see that this woman who once made him admire had such a dark side, even if she did it for countless legitimate reasons.
Because now Chen Jian can't accept this kind of behavior that is tantamount to betrayal to his companions who trust him.
One day I will become like this, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the end? Jian Chen asked himself in his heart.
And Sima Xima's words also made Jian Chen look at this woman again.
The individual strength is super strong. With such a keen political mind and such a talented person, she will definitely be reused wherever she goes, but why did she choose her own weak force that has the possibility of destruction in minutes?
Could it be that she really enjoys the pleasure of supporting the weak forces to slowly become stronger?
All along, this tough young woman has performed very well, as she often said to Jian Chen, she is a good and loyal subordinate.
Several times at critical moments, she was extremely firm on Jian Chen's side, and the usual monitoring of her also showed that she did not have any abnormal behavior, except that she would show great attention when training soldiers.
But this kind of attention is also very normal for her personality to be in her identity.
Jian Chen once thought that she would be a Kerrigan or someone that Mrak had planted next to him, but it turned out that she was not.
But apart from Kerrigan and Malak, Jian Chen couldn't think of anyone else who would be so deliberate against him.
The Elven Kingdom, it may be possible, but Jian Chen doesn't think that a human being can be so absolutely trusted in the Elven Kingdom.
The Negans who are against themselves in Bairders? But what kind of reason do they have to deal with?
Oneself?
Is it because they have ruined the profit they have made in Baildus?
But their target should be the hill dwarves, as has been confirmed by Philip.
However, their subsequent pursuit of themselves is indeed very puzzling.
Why are they chasing themselves? Could it be that the Zaixi who had been snatched from the bandits had any treasures that were important to the Negans? But I've seen all those things myself, and although they're valuable, they're just ordinary goods, and there's nothing special about them.
And if there was something important, there was no reason why the caveman should not take it away when he fled from the battlefield, but would come and grab it after the fact.
At this time, Jian Chen suddenly remembered that it was Sima who suggested that he go to Negan.
Could this be another conspiracy? Why would she want to go to Negan?
Could it be that she was really a spy sent by the Negans?
But why hasn't there been any action? On several occasions, Jian Chen deliberately created opportunities for the two to be alone. But Sima didn't move.
Jian Chen thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Negan would do to him.
He was thinking nonsense, but the discussion in the conference hall continued.
"So why did Catherine even ally with the Elementals? Could it be that there is also a conspiracy? The sorceress thought for a moment. It's still a little unacceptable to Sima's statement.
Sima gave the sorceress a slightly mocking and sympathetic smile and did not speak.
The smile annoyed the sorceress, who found that it was not the first time that the other had looked at her like that.
Sima mocked herself that a sorceress could accept it, but she didn't think there was anything about herself worthy of sympathy.
Half-elf Pete hesitated for a moment and spoke: "If things are really as Sima said, maybe Catherine's alliance with the Elemental Clan is just to kill people with a knife, so that the Elemental Clan and the Krigan will lose both, and then the Empire will take action at the right time to profit from it, not only can the Krigan be wiped out in one fell swoop, but even the Elemental Clan can be cleaned up together." But it's hard to imagine that such a plan would come from Catherine! ”
Sima glanced at the half-elf in surprise, as if surprised at how quickly he could draw inferences.
Pete, the half-elf, had the crowd in the chamber talking again.
Jian Chen's heart also jumped because of the half-elf's analysis.
It occurred to him suddenly. Since those emperor ** teams who are not loyal to the new emperor and are very likely to have changes, Catherine has calculated them more than the plan clan that let the empire lead ten things on their own. What about the aliens in Hammondale? Could they also be in Catherine's calculations?
One of the important reasons why these aliens were sent to Hammondale by Catherine at once was because they could become a destabilizing factor for the Empire.
Although Catherine did not reveal how to deal with these aliens in her letter to Jian Chen, it was obvious that even if Catherine did take Jian Chen to Enjess with her, she would not have been able to leave with such a large number of aliens along the way.
Then the new emperor ascended the throne. With the great nobles who ostracized the aliens in power, what would happen to these aliens who remained in Hammondale, lost the protection of Catherine and Jian Chen, and had serious dissatisfaction with the empire because of their migration?
Not to mention now. They had successfully been provoked by Chen Jian to become hostile to the empire, and stood clearly behind Chen Jian, who was regarded as a rebel by the empire at this time.
Will Catherine, who even counts her loyal subordinates, spare these aliens? And the human lords who clamored for the establishment of an independent regime in Hammondal, although Mlak was captured by himself at that time, but the spies sent by Mlak were not caught by themselves. It is likely that the words of the lords have already reached the ears of the Empire's rulers through these spies. Their fate is also worrying.
Even if Catherine didn't make any special arrangements for these aliens and the human lords of Hammondal, how could someone like Mrak let these people stay in Hammondal's strategically important place and remain indifferent?
Jian Chen suddenly found out. So. The act of evacuating Hammondale with all his subjects has inadvertently become a prophetic and meritorious deed.
Thinking of this, Jian Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself a little.
As long as this matter is properly hyped up in the future, it will undoubtedly have a great effect on improving his reputation again.
And it seems that he can also use this incident to fight for more favorable conditions in his negotiations with Catherine.
If she offered to Cather to leave the empire with the people of Hammondal, would she let her go?
I think so. After all, if she wants to attack these civilians, she will also get out of a helpless move, if she can solve it in a less bloody way, I believe she should be happy to see it, the key is, how to make her believe that she really wants to leave the empire with these people, leave Hammondal, and not carry out some conspiracy in the dark.
Although Catherine is no longer the Empress of the Empire, her power is still amazing, and she still has considerable influence in the Empire, which can be determined from the fact that she can still act like this despite her current loss of power, if she can leave Hammondale with her permission, then the migration operation will undoubtedly suffer much less resistance, and the Erathian Empire may give up on dealing with itself because of this.
After figuring out this relationship, Chen Jian hastily ended the meeting and began to write to Catherine.
This is a good opportunity. Definitely not to be missed.
When I received Chen Jianxin. Catherine was leading her army at the end of the day, and was resting on the edge of the river, preparing to camp and rest.
This time. Catherine is actually quite mixed feelings.
It's just that overnight, her years of hard work have turned into floating clouds, and her former dream is no longer possible. Her ideal of a great kingdom of power and abundance, of unifying the entire continent and of many races, could henceforth only appear in her dreams in the middle of the night, after the end of this war. She will also leave the land she loves so much and return to Enloth with her husband. When she was the queen of the Iron Fist Dynasty, she taught her husband and children from then on, and did not ask about politics
。
To say that she is not heartbroken, it is impossible.
But the Empire no longer needed her, the Empire had stubbornly taken another path, and there was no place for her on that path, and she didn't know what the Empire would eventually become, but there was no doubt about it. No matter how it changes, the empire will not become the model she imagined
。
Roland has already made an appearance. He joined Christine's army with the defenders of Guffenhardt, who were still loyal to Catherine, and was marching towards Hammondale from the other direction.
Several other armies were also heading towards Hammondal, armed with all the supplies they could gather. Under the watchful eye of the other imperial teams who were much more numerous than them and loyal to the new emperor, they hurried day and night.
The letter sent by Jian Chen lifted Catherine's spirits.
Although the contents of the letter are not yet known. But she knew that Jian Chen should have made a decision.
After opening the letter and reading it word by word, Catherine couldn't help but fall into deep thought, because Jian Chen's final decision was too unexpected for her.
After thinking about it for a long time, Catherine finally made up her mind, and she began to write letters to Kendall. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in... Horn , more chapters. Support for work
