Chapter 104: Gathering of Storms (3)
The vermilion seal was inspected, and the attendant carefully took out the document and handed it to the Emperor of Light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guo Zizhong stared intently at the kraft letter in the emperor's hand, since he heard the four words of the northern Xinjiang urgency, his heart tightened, and he couldn't wait to check it immediately, but looking at His Majesty the emperor, whose face was becoming more and more solemn, he had to forcibly resist the urge to ask.
Ye Zhong and Dai Chen secretly exchanged a look, and found that the other party also knew nothing. What kind of emergency news will there be in the north? Could it be that the orcs have already attacked the wolf city in a big way?
It's late autumn, and the ice sheets have an extremely early and long winter. In winter, the ice field will be completely covered with snow and ice, and the birds and beasts will hide in the caves, which is even more barren than the desert with nothing. At that time, the snow roads are difficult to travel, and the vehicles will not be able to transport large quantities of grain and grass at all, and the consumption will be very high.
What's more, the orc base camp is far away on the shore of the Black Sea, thousands of miles away. In winter, the orcs simply could not meet the needs of the front line on such a long supply line. Unless they can end the war before winter, the orcs in front of the wolf city will not even have a chance to retreat, and will only die without a place to bury.
Emperor Guangming quickly finished reading the contents of the letter, gently turned the kraft letter paper and put it on the table, his face was extremely solemn, he slowly swept over the three important ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Minister of State, immediately issue the Imperial Military Mobilization Order, only in this way can we have a chance to win the next national battle." ”
Guo Zizhong, Ye Chong, and Dai Chen all changed color, and once the mobilization order was issued, it meant that from now on, everything in the empire would serve the war! This will have a great impact on the people's livelihood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of money for the people. If this is the case, what will the people of the world think of His Majesty the Emperor, who has just issued an edict of guilt, and will go back on his word? Unless something big happens!
"Your Majesty!?" Prince Wen's face changed.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the northern frontier has been-" Guo Zizhong's body shook violently.
Emperor Guangming waved his hand: "Guo Aiqing, rest assured, the situation has not yet reached the point of being out of control." He paused, walked directly from behind the table to the three important ministers, and said slowly: "Admiral Beru Flying Eagle passed the book, just the day before yesterday, the God-given Republic and the southern tribes officially announced their independence from the rule of the undead and became a dominion of the orc kingdom. ”
Guo Zizhong was shocked, as the former governor of Northern Xinjiang and the hereditary Duke of Wolf City, no one knew better than him what this meant? The southern tribe located at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain has been an important grain producing area since ancient times, with a pleasant climate, abundant water and grass, and fertile land, which can be called a pearl on the ice field. In the past ten years, Guo Zizhong has used the centrifugal force of the southern tribes after the Battle of Yinshan, through a series of means such as economic assistance and espionage rebellion, and has been trying to split it from the God-given Republic.
"Semi-independent Dominions? This move by the southern tribes is tantamount to a rebellion? Could it be that the Senate of the God-given Republic is sitting idly by? The Knights of the Temple are said to be deployed in a no-man's land, close to the southern tribes, they have the guts?" Dai Chen frowned, and suddenly bowed to the Emperor of Light and said, "Your Majesty, there is still something strange about this matter, please ask Rong Chen to go to the northern Xinjiang to verify it in person!"
The Bright Emperor raised his hand: "No need, Admiral Beru has made it clear in his letter, although it is unconfirmed, it is basically certain that the Knights of the Templar have died at the hands of the orcs."
Nowadays, the orcs have built a walled city in no man's land, the Guards Brigade is rampant, no one can take its edge, and the scouts in the northern frontier can only be placed within a radius of thirty miles. It can be said that the northern frontier of the empire is like being blind, and now Admiral Beru can't be sure how powerful the orcs are now!"
After the Bright Emperor finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "I wonder if you Aiqing have any other good plans?"
Prince Wen Ye Zhong groaned: "Since the southern tribes have taken refuge in the Orc Kingdom, it means that they have obtained the most important forward base for attacking the empire. For now, in addition to preparing for war, we can only contact the God-given Republic and attack from the north and south, so that the orcs and the southern tribes will be unable to successfully establish an advance base against the empire. ”
The Bright Emperor nodded, and suddenly said worriedly: "Those elders of the God-given Republic Senate will only quarrel endlessly, and it has always been difficult to decide, and their actions are even more procrastinating. However, the orcs are an imminent threat to my empire. Alas—" The Bright Emperor sighed again.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, now that the main direction of the orcs is the northern frontier of the empire, most of those soft eggs are lucky, even if they are willing to send troops, I'm afraid it will be next year!" Guo Zizhong nodded, "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, we must give those elders of the undead tribe a reason why they must send troops, and make them believe that if they refuse to send troops, there will be a disaster, and this matter must be fast." ”
Hearing what Guo Zizhong said, Emperor Guangming couldn't help frowning slightly, knowing that this famous general in Northern Xinjiang had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?"
"Your Majesty, in order to guard against us, the former undead tribe garrisoned 100,000 troops at the foot of Yin Mountain, which was used to block the Yin Mountain passage to Bruda City. The minister found out that among the 100,000 troops, 50,000 were the northern tribes of the undead, and the other 50,000 were the servants of the southern tribes. Now, the southern tribes have suddenly rebelled, and those northern descendants of the army are not aware of it, even if they are not completely annihilated, they must have lost control of the Yinshan Pass......"
"Does Governor Guo mean that we take the opportunity to send troops from the northwest to control the Yinshan Pass?" Dai Chen showed a puzzled expression, "Is it to exchange the control of this passage for the Senate to send troops?"
Emperor Guangming's eyes lit up: "It's a good way, I guess that even if those southern rebels are defeated, most of them will have to pay a certain price." If an elite army raids at this time, there is indeed a great chance of success. He suddenly slapped his palms and sighed, "It's just that the orcs are constantly advancing in the northern frontier, where do the elite soldiers come from?"
Guo Zizhong shook his head: "Transferring troops from other military regions will take too much time after all. We can see this, the orcs must also see this, now everyone is fighting for speed, if we can't take advantage of the uncertain situation to stir up the situation, so that the undead tribe feels a real threat, then in the future we will have to defend ourselves against the orc invasion alone. And once the two countries go to war, with the military strength of the orc kingdom and our dynasty, this war will not be able to see results for several years. Those undead are happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
Emperor Guangming nodded, after all, Dai Chen's strategy was too superficial, when it comes to the strategy of northern Xinjiang, who can catch up with Guo Zizhong? This time, he used the destruction of the wolf cavalry camp to trick Guo Zizhong into coming to the imperial capital, I really don't know whether it was right or wrong? At this moment, the Guangming Emperor actually had a trace of remorse in his heart.
Hearing Guo Zizhong deny his speculation and proposal, although Dai Chen was unhappy in his heart, he did not show his appearance, he knew that when it came to military strategy, he was inferior to Guo Zizhong, so he asked expressionlessly: "What does the Governor mean——"
Guo Zizhong smiled slightly, took a step forward and was about to speak, when suddenly his face changed drastically, and he was shocked: "Your Majesty be careful", he suddenly jumped and led the Bright Emperor to the side.
I saw that where the Bright Emperor was standing, a girl with a pale face and red eyes appeared, it was Ye Shuang, who had just been canonized as a princess. She couldn't control the nightmare in her mind, and the strange bird was even more crazy than ever.
Ye Shuang's slender legs bent slightly, she squatted slightly, bared out a pair of small tiger teeth, and aimed at the next target, and pounced on Dai Chen with great agility.
Princess Feng Shuang? Dai Chen was shocked, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ye Zhong beside him showing a look of concern, and his mind was flashing, and he immediately shouted: "Escort!" I saw that his five fingers were bent into claws, and there was a cold flash on his fingertips, and he grabbed Ye Shuang's shoulder with great speed.
At the same moment, dozens of guards rushed out from the shadows, one team protected the Bright Emperor Tuantuan, and the other team slashed at Ye Shuang with a knife.
"Stop!" Guo Zizhong and Ye Chong reprimanded at the same time.
Almost at the same time as the voice sounded, Dai Chen had already changed his moves sideways, and his reaction speed was a first-class master. However, those guards were unable to stop, it was a matter of His Majesty's safety, and the situation they pounced on Ye Shuang just now was almost fatal.
Seeing that Ye Shuang was about to splash blood on the spot, suddenly a sword light flashed, only to hear the sound of clanging bells, and the sharp blades in the hands of those guards were all broken. A figure appeared in the imperial study, tall and tall, and it was actually a young Praetorian Guard general. At the critical moment, he blocked the desperate blow of the guards for Ye Shuang.
