11. There is political drama everywhere
Patos looked at the enemy camp in the distance, he was puzzled, the other party had been camping for many days, but only launched an attack, who knew that he only took a pass and hurriedly retreated, which made him nervous for a long time. And in the next few days, except for some scattered scouts, it was a complete stalemate, but he didn't put too much pressure on the other party, and the two faced each other so strangely, if it weren't for the conflicts that occurred from time to time, Patos really didn't think this would be a battlefield.
"I don't know when His Majesty will arrive, or if the matter has been dealt with. ”
"Rest assured, Your Majesty is ambitious and ambitious, and will be able to arrange everything properly. ”
Just as Patos was about to reply, a message interrupted him: "General, Your Majesty has arrived with a large army!
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
There was no tragic siege scene in Li Xi's imagination, except that the guards were a little tighter and the atmosphere was a little more tense, and there was no sense of déjà vu of a big war at all! What is wrong with this? Doesn't it mean that the situation is critical?
"Lao Pa! Lao Pa! Come out of here!" Li Xi looked at everything in front of him inexplicably, eager to understand the current situation.
"Your Majesty! Patos is here to report!" the crowd trotting from a distance quickly stopped in front of Li Xi, waiting for his instructions.
"What's the situation now? What about the enemy army? Didn't you say that the military situation was urgent?
"Return to Your Majesty! The enemy army is two kilometers outside the city, and our army has been in confrontation with the enemy for five days, and no large-scale war has occurred!" After hearing Patos's loud and clear reply, Li Xi's originally clear train of thought began to short-circuit again, "Let's go! Let's go in and talk!"
Li Xi was already half tired and half dead after rushing all the way, and as soon as he entered the governor's mansion, he sat down and said in a deep voice: "Say! What the hell is going on!"
Five days ago, the enemy had appeared, but had not attacked, and the scouts had only probed the perimeter, but three days later a large number of scouts approached the town, engaged our expatriate scouts, and the enemy withdrew. I thought that the enemy army was preparing for a large army to attack, so my subordinates could only order someone to report the news in advance. Unbeknownst to him, the enemy was just bluffing, and hurriedly retreated before they could reach the city wall. For the next two days, apart from sporadic scout battles, the enemy did not make any moves. Patos briefly recounted the recent situation, and Li Xi also felt inexplicable after listening to it, are these rat people too full to eat?
"Is there some conspiracy on their part?
"Back to Your Majesty, at present, our army only knows that the other side has 2 large battalions, about 4,000 people, but due to the limited military strength, the area covered is not much, and whether there are other situations I can't detect by my subordinates. ”
The more he thought about it, the more strange Li Xi became, and the more he started to make up for himself, the main general was sick, and the people who came to demonstrate had already fled? (Why didn't you say that you were ready to surrender!)
"Forget it! No matter, if he doesn't move, then I'll move! Time can't be delayed for too long, the all-round military tilt in the territory has already affected normal life, and besides, the food is still insufficient, and the result will be difficult to say after a long time, now that the troops are there, don't be soft when you should fight!"
Patos, who had been aggrieved for several days, was finally happy, and it was helpless to be suppressed in the town, and now he was able to fight back and turned around and left without excitement.
Alas! They are all war maniacs! Even Patos, who is both civil and military, is also a military faction, and it seems that the administrative part should be arranged as soon as possible, and the strong economic strength is the guarantee of the war, otherwise I don't know how long these three knives will be tossed. Come on, let's think about it after you're done. Thinking of this, Li Xi lay down and fell asleep beautifully.
......
After Lixi's reinforcements arrived, Monte also got the news, and his face was as blue as a volcano about to burst out, and the whole person was silent and terrifying. The original battle has gone off track, although he is confident to hold his camp, but he does not want to suffer heavy losses, who knows what Asqi behind him will do.
At this point, the faithful Monte has also deviated from his tracks, he is no longer preoccupied with the public, and he needs to think about his own situation. Haughty, he could not accept unfair treatment, and while repeatedly missing victories, his resentment finally broke out. He's had enough! Why should he be fooled by an idiot as the best general in Sadoron? Why can't the chief see himself who has been loyal and giving everything he has? It's all your fault! You forced me! Monte, whose face is getting more and more hideous, finally made his decision, he wants revenge! He wants to take back everything from him!
Not far away, in the main tent of the Third Legion, Asqi was still drinking wine and watching Yan Wu, not caring about the legion commander Suotu who walked into the big tent. may also know the man's virtue, Suotu also sat aside with a big grin, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it in a big gulp.
After a while, Aschi waved his hand and told the singers to retreat: "It's all arranged?
Suotu wiped the wine from his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The 1,000 warriors who came with me have been arranged, including 500 heavily armored warriors, don't you really understand that it is necessary to be so complicated?
Aschi chuckled, looked at the lock figure who pretended to be stupid and said softly: "Monte, Sadoron's most capable general, he has been in the army for 15 years, according to human terms, it is the meritorious service of the two dynasties, and now most of the generals are more or less related to him, arrogant and rude, and there are countless things to point fingers at him by relying on his identity." Catch him in the tribe? Maybe it's leaked before you even do it. ”
"Also, our chief has only been on the throne for 4 years, and it seems that in addition to the 1,000 heavy armored soldiers directly under him, the first and second legions are not reliable, if it weren't for the formation of the third and fourth legions, then maybe... ”
Asqi snorted disdainfully and continued: "With Monte's emotional intelligence, it is too difficult to understand this, I am just the target of the chieftain tree in the open, and the formation of the third and fourth legions is also under the pretense of my hands, to put it bluntly, let me paste money and stickers to form troops, in order to protect myself, I can only stick the old book of the original tribe." In the eyes of outsiders, my presence has upset their balance, but in fact the army is full of chieftains, and I must still do what I am told, otherwise do I need a reason to kill me alone?"
"Monte isn't that stupid, is he? he can't see it?" "Suotu was the only Asqi in this army, and while he wasn't stupid, he didn't understand his master's struggles.
"He's arrogant, don't you notice that since we have been wooing, the commander of the Second Army has also alienated him? He is too controlling, and he is aimed at me because of his position and because of the army, and it is ridiculous that he still thinks that this is the way it should be. So it's rare to have this opportunity to pull him out alone, and the best result is that the humans will destroy him, so if it doesn't work, then let's mend the knife!" Aski shook his wine glass casually, telling the purpose of the trip.
"It's okay! It's okay! I think we'll do it ourselves! The group of pustules on the other side, who have been cowering in the city for so many days, must have been frightened! Why don't you do it tonight?" Suotu rubbed his hands excitedly, and counted on his master to give him an order, so he would set off immediately.
"Wait for news! Didn't the chief say when he would do it?"
"Say it! Look at my brain, I almost forgot it. The chief said that the agreed time was the night after tomorrow, and the signal was based on the light of the fire in the tribe. It is said that the chieftain wanted to worship the gods in order to pray for victory, so he ordered a large fire platform to be built, so that we could see it at that time. ”
"Hmm. Keep an eye on Monte, don't go wrong. Seeing that the master was ready to rest, Suotu was ordered to retreat.
It's just that Asqi still poured a glass of wine, and asked to himself, "Did you hear it?"
"Very good! The royal court promised you that the conditions will remain the same, and then the Sadoron will be your world, and the army will arrive in two days, and as long as the fire is together, the army will attack the Sadolon tribe, and you will lead the army to attack the first army of Monte. ”
"The plan is good! When the time comes, Monte and I will be defeated and unable to resist, but you will dominate Sadoron, so that the strength of the royal court will be greatly increased, and the humans on the other side will be enslaved, and it seems that there is really nothing to do with me in a circle. Asqi's mocking tone made the mysterious man silent for a long time, but Asqi was not in a hurry at all, to this point, except for the strength in his hands, he would not be gullible.
"And what do you want?"
"Quite simply, Monte should be left to you to deal with, not leave me desperate here. So you have to arrange for a force to come, you don't have to command me, but I have to know that they exist. The original conditions also have to be modified, and it doesn't matter if I give you the whole of Sadoron, but I want the human territory, and I don't need your help. But don't worry, I will give you half of the grain, which is a part of my heart to the royal court. Aschi said his request seriously, but the other party couldn't accept it.
"Are you sure you're not playing with fire? We can kill you at any time, even now I can kill you!" The mysterious man was already enraged by the ants in front of him, and he thought it was ridiculous, how dare a waste under the fence negotiate terms with the royal court?
"Oh, is it?" he was originally lazy, and his momentum suddenly skyrocketed, and the bronze fighting spirit surrounded his whole body like substance, but unfortunately after a blink of an eye, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
After a longer silence, the cold voice sounded again: "You are good. I was surprised. I will seriously consider your suggestion. I'll give you an answer tomorrow. ”
"Don't wait for the expiration date, don't send it goodbye. ”
After the wind flashed, the big tent calmed down, and Asqi sneered, really thinking that the signboard of the royal court could be invincible? The surrounded Sadolon tribe would only be eaten away. Dog, I've done enough, it's time for a different way of living.
