Chapter 63: Decision

Su Ya's face sank like water, but she didn't say a word. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Heru looked at Su Ya solemnly, and then sighed: "This defeat is a reason for those people in the imperial capital, if others don't say it, I'm afraid that your uncle may not be able to say something in front of His Majesty." With His Majesty's temperament, if there is any more suspicion, I am afraid that the family's situation will be even more dangerous. ”

Heru smiled indifferently, glanced around the study, and said with some emotion: "I have been in Moxi for almost twenty years, and it is time to move the place." ”

When Su Ya heard this, her face suddenly changed: "Uncle Heru, you ......"

Heru looked the same, just shook his head and said: "You don't have to say it anymore, this time in the Northwest Disaster, nominally I am still the supreme general in the theater, and I am responsible for the defeat, who will I carry it? Besides, I have long expected this day, and now in the old department of Duke Ellos in the empire, in addition to my old Heru, there are a few people who have real power in their hands?"

Although this Moxi is bitter and not more prosperous than the imperial capital, it is also a provincial land, if you want to suppress the family, how can you tolerate me, a feudal official who has a deep personal relationship with the Ellios family, and holds military power and guards the northwest?!

Today's attitude of this Weil is a signal, although they don't dare to do it directly against you, but those guys in the imperial capital are probably going to attack me too! Hmph, if I guess correctly, the appointment and dismissal order issued by the military department will be delivered within ten days! After all, the defeat is small, and this procedure must also be left!"

Su Ya's whole body trembled, and her face was ugly: "These guys, don't you know the importance of you, the governor of Moxi? For so many years, if you hadn't been in the northwest to deter those alien races, I'm afraid that Moxi would have ceased to be owned by the empire a long time ago!"

Moreover, you have been operating in Moxi for many years, and your prestige in the northwest is quite deep, so how can you say that you will be exempted? If you don't say anything else, just take the northwest troops under your command, I'm afraid it will be a big problem. From His Majesty to the military headquarters and those in the imperial capital, no one is a fool, how could they do such a self-defeating thing?!

How could they not know about the stakes involved? If they dare to come here like this, even if I, Su Ya, don't do it, even if I don't do it, I will have to reason with them in front of His Majesty!"

"Alas," Heru listened to Su Ya's words, not only was he not a little relieved, but he just shook his head and sighed: "Su Ya, you are still too immature. Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world, and no one will always be fair in the face of interests, do you think theory will be of any use? Since you know that Your Majesty has already developed a suspicion in your heart, to put it mildly, if Your Majesty also has such thoughts...... You go to theorize, and who will listen to you?!"

"Moreover," Heru's face was a little gloomy, and he said in a complicated tone: "You have been in the imperial capital for a long time, and you don't know the situation in the northwest. Since a few years ago, the Central Military Department has begun to consciously or unconsciously take power in the northwest...... First of all, the cavalry regiment of two battalions of Moduo was withdrawn a few years ago, and during the spring drill last year, we took the opportunity to cut down a garrison corps of 20,000 men.

Originally, I still had the 18th Army Corps, the 19th Army Corps and the 13th Army Corps, but after the spring exercise, the main forces of the 18th Army Corps were all transferred to the center, leaving only an empty shelf for me, and now Moxi still has three legions in name, but the total strength is not 70,000, otherwise, how could the northwest be chaotic like this? Hmph, this time you came to Moxi, in addition to Perry's thousands of cavalry, what reinforcements are there?!"

Heru said with a solemn face: "So you don't need to say these words again, I estimate that this time my position as the governor of Moxi is sitting at the end, and as soon as the order of the military department arrives, I will return to the imperial capital to be accountable." But after all, I have been operating in Moxi for many years, and they don't dare to rashly do anything to me, at most they will deprive me of my military power, and then transfer me to a vacant position. It's just that in this way, the power of the Ellios family is a little weaker, so you must be more careful.

Suya ...... You have to remember that you are a leader, and at all times, the preservation of the big picture is what you should consider. To put it mildly, if you don't even have this bit of forbearance, let alone revitalize the family. It can only show that you are not worthy of the power in your hands at all, so you can simply write to Your Majesty now to release the military power, leave the imperial capital and return to the fiefdom to live in obscurity. ”

When Su Ya heard this, her face was already pale, but she couldn't say a word anymore.

Heru sighed, but his eyes fell on the battle report on the side, and the words changed: "Don't talk about this, then now...... Tell me how you plan to solve the problem of Moduo City. Do you think we should support or give up?"

Su Ya also took a deep breath, trying to calm down her emotions, and then shook her head and said: "Moduo City is the second largest city in Moxi Province, and the terrain is dangerous, guarding the remaining veins of Hangai Mountain, if this city is lost, the hinterland of Moxi for hundreds of miles will be exposed to the iron hooves of Macedonia, and even Valen City is no longer in danger, so Moduo City must not be abandoned!"

"Then you mean to send troops to support?"

Su Ya said with a solemn expression: "Moduo is hundreds of miles away from Valen City, if you send an infantry regiment to support, you won't be able to reach it in half a month, and with the current situation in Moduo City, I'm afraid that it can only be held for three days at most, and it is easier for the Macedonians to wait for work if they rush to lead a tired army that has traveled a long distance." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Cavalry!"

Heru thought for a moment, his face was a little solemn, and he glanced at Su Ya: "Go on!"

"There are three armies stationed in Valen City, namely the guard soldiers of Moxi Province, the infantry regiment of the Third Army of the Central Army under my command, and the cavalry regiment of the Central Army of more than 8,000 under Perry, with a troop of more than 70,000 troops. Of these 70,000 men, more than 50,000 were infantry, and although the total number of cavalry was only 20,000, in terms of mobility, it was the only force that could support the city of Moduo in three days.

The Macedonians were mainly infantry, and as far as I know, the main force of their cavalry this time was the Macedonian Sixth Cavalry Regiment, which was only average in terms of overall quality and military equipment. Moxi's cavalry was fierce, almost invincible even in the empire, and with Perry's more than 8,000 cavalry of the Central Army, he could barely make up 20,000 cavalry. Macedonia is besieging but not attacking, obviously it is also waiting, but if these 20,000 cavalry go day and night to rescue Moduo City, it will be enough to have the strength to fight!"

Heru thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Yes, your strategy is somewhat feasible. Then Heru frowned, and said solemnly: "Moduo City is indeed a dangerous terrain, and it must not be abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary...... It's just that you've figured out who to send for reinforcements?"

Heru pondered for a moment: "20,000 cavalry, but all of our Moxi belongings, although my Moxi cavalry is only more than 10,000, but if you talk about the quality of the army...... Hmph, even Perry's kid's cavalry of the Central Army is not as good as my Moxi Army, although the Central Army is well-equipped, but when it comes to war training, I'm afraid it can't compare to me, a veteran trained on the battlefield, right?"

"I understand what you mean," Su Ya smiled bitterly, "The Moxi army is fierce and untamable, and the central army thinks very highly of itself, the two proud troops are combined, and there must be resistance, this general must have enough prestige to suppress these two cavalry ......"

Speaking of this, Su Ya sighed secretly in her heart: Over the years, Heru has been guarding one side in the northwest, and his subordinates have also trained a strong army on the battlefield, and when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the army, it is that the garrisons of several other southern provinces can't catch up. It's just that the people in the northwest are fierce and martial, and the army is quite laborious to control, and the military discipline is even more uninhibited, which makes Su Ya frown again and again.

Heru has a bold temperament, and most of his subordinates are rough generals, and the army inevitably carries this kind of character. Although these people were obedient under Heru, if they were replaced by the main general, there would definitely be resistance and backlash, and if they were halfway through the battle and learned the news of Heru's deposition, I am afraid that even if they mutinied, it would not be surprising.

Seeing Su Ya's eyes flashing, Heru suddenly understood a little in his heart, pondered for a moment and said, "I know the concerns in your heart, huh...... I have some fierce generals, but there are not many who can use their brains, and I am afraid that the matter of sending troops will have to be considered. In my opinion, Ronkedo is brave and resourceful, and although he is impatient, it is enough to be a pioneer, and as for the lieutenant general......"

"Perry can be the lieutenant general. Suya muttered.

Heru was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "As the commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Central Army, Perry has prestige and strategy, but his identity is ......."

"It's okay!" Su Ya clenched her fingers, her eyes flashing, "I know you're worried about Perry's sensitive identity, but after all, I've known him for many years, and I know him very well...... And if he hadn't brought troops to help this time, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of the Macedonians, he ...... It's not like his father!"

Heru wanted to say something, but Su Ya shook her head and her face turned pale: "You don't need to say it anymore, I've already decided." There is no doubt about the use of generals, if there is another person who can bring 20,000 cavalry at this time, this person can only be Perry. As for the vanguard, he was appointed to the post of Ronkedo...... Uncle Heru, let's draft a military order!"

Su Ya's words were quite tough, but when Heru heard this, he didn't get the slightest annoyance, but was faintly relieved, looking at Su Ya's gaze, and also showed a hint of praise: "Yes, although I have the power to suggest you, but the final decision can only be in your hands, since your decision is so, then I will now draft a military order and dispatch the army." ”

When Heru said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with some confusion: "By the way, speaking of Perry, this kid has locked himself in the backyard since he came back with you last time, and I have hardly seen him for more than half a year, and I can only see him a few times a month when I go out for exercises, and he is silent with a cold face...... What the hell is wrong with him?"

Su Ya smiled bitterly: "He was frustrated, the last time we rescued me, we met a master in the desert, he was defeated by that man, I guess I still haven't got out of this matter!"

Heru was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why haven't I heard you say this?" and...... Although Perry's kid is young, his strength is already a serious eighth-level knight......, who can defeat him? What was the last time you encountered in the desert?"

"It's complicated to say, we met a strong man of the elf clan in Tadam, and he also kidnapped a friend of mine, so Perry fought with that elf, but I didn't expect that elf to be ......"

Su Ya's face was a little unnatural, and then she shook her head slightly, almost gritting her teeth and spit out two words:

"Holy Order!"
