When Gould said this, he squinted his eyes and glanced at Joseph: "Boss, presumably it won't be difficult to guess what happened next, right?"

"Hmph, listen to what you mean, the Sistine deliberately distracted the Moxi army, and then attacked the Moxi army stationed in Valen City and confiscated their military power, right?" Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hehe, it's not bad at all!" The fat man smiled slightly: "This Sistine has a lot of means, first use the matter of food and salary to control a few generals, and then take advantage of the internal discord within the Northwest Army to divide their forces, and then attack this small number of troops! Hehe, this doesn't seem unusual, but do you know the boss? The Northwest Army that stayed in the pass at that time also had tens of thousands of troops! And the Sistine side led the army from the central fortress to bring the strength of the two flag regiments.

If he forcibly absorbs it, I am afraid that it will really provoke the resistance of these generals of the Northwest Army. So this guy specially used the name of celebrating his birthday to invite the nobles and powerful guys in Valen City, as well as the generals of the Northwest Army, and directly detained those guys in his governor's mansion. Then they directly incorporated their army as provincial governors.

I heard that among the generals of the Northwest Army, Sistine had already rebelled against him and promised to be an internal ghost, so when Sistine absorbed the Northwest Army, he received almost no resistance, and easily pocketed the more than 10,000 Northwest Army. And at this time, Long Keduo also reacted, no matter how the Sistine ordered later, the Northwest Army outside the pass was stunned and refused to enter the Moxi Pass again, I'm afraid those guys were also worried about being played to death by this Sistine!"

When Jose heard him say this, he couldn't help but be a little more wary of this Sistine, it seems that this sissy is not only a delicate guy, but also very clever in his scheming, no wonder Montevideo IV is willing to send this kind of aristocratic child to the northwest to manage Moxi.

"However, listening to what you say, the main force of the Northwest Army led by Long Keduo is still occupied outside the Moxi Pass? The Northwest Army is huge, and it has been entrenched in the Moxi area for many years, so it is naturally deep-rooted, and if you want to completely settle these guys, I am afraid that it cannot be solved by some means of the Sistine...... " Jose pondered for a moment before he glanced up at the fat man, and then asked: "The situation inside the pass is like this, so what about the situation outside the pass?"

When the fat man heard Jose say this, he just frowned, and didn't say anything, but he was silent on the side, but at this moment he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Today, Gould and I have gone to many places according to your master's instructions, whether it is those homeless people under the city walls, or several caravans in the city that come and go outside the gates, and even the traders on the streets of the two slave markets, we have investigated them one by one. I got a lot of useful things from these guys, but I didn't get very satisfied......"

"The current situation outside the gate is a bit complicated!" Gould glanced at the break, and there was some worry in his eyes, but he still continued: "According to my investigation with the break, the four counties of Moxi outside the gate are basically garrisoned by the generals of the Northwest Army, and it is not so easy for the Sistin to let alone appoint officials, even if they want to get out of the pass and get to the outside of the pass." ”

"To put it simply, the entire Moxi Province is now bounded by Moxi Pass, and the two counties in the pass, including Valen City, are basically under the central jurisdiction represented by Sistine, with a strength of roughly 15,000 or 6,000 troops. As for the four counties outside the Guanwai, they are under the influence of the generals of the Northwest Army led by Long Keduo, with a total strength of roughly between 40,000 and 50,000.

This situation is very strange, because although the central government has the intention to subdue the entire northwest, the Sistine does not seem to have enough troops to quell the civil strife in the northwest. His Majesty the Emperor turned a blind eye to the situation in the northwest, as if he had no idea of ending the chaotic situation in the northwest through war, so the attitudes of the two sides seemed to be a little ambiguous. I'm afraid that this guy Sistine also wants to suppress the Northwest Army, but he doesn't have enough troops in his hands to eat the tens of thousands of troops of the Northwest Army.

The Northwest Army, on the other hand, was a group of people who were not easy to mess with, and when Governor Heru was there before, they were naturally obedient. But now...... Hmph, knowing that the central government of the empire can't tolerate them, where is they willing to hand over the military power in their hands, but I'm afraid that they will follow in the footsteps of Heru, and support the troops one by one, although there is no blatant rebellion against the empire, but for the orders of the Sistine, the governor, most of them are also disobeyed, in fact, they are all waiting and watching, or waiting for the price to sell, and there are even some ill-intentioned careerists who want to take advantage of the chaos in the northwest to make some benefits!

Since last winter, some horse thieves and robbers have entered the valley corridor to plunder, and although they say so, there is probably no one else except those steppe wolves. However, after the Moxi army entered the Guanwai, there was less such news, and I am afraid that the Sistine Lord in the Governor's Mansion did not know much about the situation outside the Guanxi now!"

When Jose heard Gould say this, he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart, the situation has developed to this extent, it can be said that the Northwest Army and the Sistine are waiting, the key is the mind of His Majesty the Emperor in the empire. There are obviously more than 100,000 soldiers in the central fortress, and the Sistine went to Moxi to take office, but only brought less than one legion, which is too shabby?!

Although it is said on the surface, Sistine is the acting governor, and there is no need to bring troops to Moxi, because the provincial governor naturally has military and political power. But the problem now is that the Northwest Army does not obey the central command at all, although there is no overt rebellion, but it is basically definitely a warlord on one side, it is impossible for Montevideo IV not to know about such a situation, right?

What the hell does this guy think?

Jose walked around the room, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart, and he also realized at this time that he might not be so easy to be a Sadland county guard!

Now that the outside of Moxi Pass are all the forces of the Northwest Army, and even Sistine, the acting governor of Moxi Province, cannot have jurisdiction over Guanwai, and he is a county guard, will the Northwest Army buy it? If you think about it carefully, it seems that the time when I was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor as the county guard of Sadland was shortly after the Northwest Army retreated to Guanwai......

Joseph suddenly felt a little bad: Could it be that Mondevideo IV already knew that the Northwest Army had been separated from the Guan, and let himself take up his post in the county seat of Sadland?

"Damn, I thought I had picked up a bargain, but I didn't expect to play so big as soon as I came to the Northwest?!
