Chapter 62: Power and Disaster

"Caro, commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Army of the Moxi Province, reported to the Duke that there were more than 30,000 infantry cavalry of the Macedonian enemy regiment and besieged the city of Moduo five days ago. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe empire has insufficient 8,000 soldiers to defend the city, the soldiers are outnumbered, the city is in danger, the grain and grass are all gone, and it is difficult to stabilize. And the death of the last general is not a pity, but tens of thousands of imperial people in the city are afraid of being slaughtered by foreign races, if the city is trapped and the land is destroyed, the last general will not be worthy of his crime, I sincerely ask the Duke to quickly send troops to help!"

Su Ya looked at the battle report in front of her solemnly, her fingers clenched tightly, and she looked coldly at a few officers who were arguing on the side, still not saying a word.

In the past few months, the Macedonians have attacked several cities in Moxi, and the northwest half has been owned by the enemy country, if you retreat at this moment, I am afraid that the city of Valen will soon be exposed to the Macedonians' scimitars!"

"My lord, the last general thinks that the city of Moduo is outnumbered and sparsely populated, and this time the Macedonian general Barcellus has 30,000 troops, all of whom are elite cavalry, and the infantry of the central army and the headquarters of Moxi stationed in Valen City is only more than 50,000 people, and the cavalry is less than 20,000, so rashly sending troops will only outweigh the losses!"

"Commander Ronkedor, you mean to give up the city of Modo?!"

The officer who opposed on the side looked anxious, and his face was flushed, he was not burly, and his temperament was also weak, although he was wearing a military uniform, but he looked more like a civilian official. He was now pointing at the officer who was opposing him, and shouted angrily.

"Lord Weier, although you are a staff officer sent by the Central Army to Moxi to supervise the war, I heard that you were also from a civilian background in your early years, and I am angry that I am angry and said bluntly, such a thing as marching and fighting, hum...... I'm afraid it's better for us martial artists to be clearer!"

The middle-aged officer named "Long Keduo" had a strong face, an extremely burly and tall figure, and his words were mixed with a bit of a northwest accent, obviously a local general in Moxi Province.

"Ronkdo, you are bold!" Hearing this, Weil was obviously not lightly angry, and his face immediately turned red, "You are just a small local cavalry commander, and you dare to talk to me with such an attitude?

"You fart ......"

"Enough!"

Heru finally couldn't help but snort with a cold face, "Now that the military situation ahead is urgent, you don't discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, but instead do these righteous battles here, what are you talking about? Lord Weir, don't say this kind of thing again in the future, and ...... Ronkdo, you also shut up Lao Tzu!"

After all, Heru is the governor of Moxi Province, and after so many years of operation, his prestige is also quite high. Na Long Keduo is a faction of his Moxi lineage, and when he saw that Heru was angry at this moment, he naturally didn't dare to quarrel with Zaiwei, but he just glared at Weil fiercely, and then closed his mouth a little unwillingly.

Naturally, Weil is not a fool, although his heart was slightly relieved when he saw Heru beating Ronkedo, but he also knew that this governor was probably a little dissatisfied with himself, and he immediately accepted it when he saw it, but said in a stiff tone: "Anyway, I still insist on my own point of view, this Moduo city cannot be abandoned! After more than a year of war, Moxi has lost several cities, if Moduo does not hold it again, where is the power of the imperial army? Wouldn't it live up to the high hopes of His Majesty the Emperor?!"

When Long Keduo heard him say this, he was even more disdainful in his heart, this guy was in a hurry to send troops just for his own position, but what he said was good, and he was not afraid that the emperor would blame him, and he would suffer?

Sure enough, when Heru heard this, his face also changed, obviously he was really angry. He has been in the military for many years, and he is the kind of upright and arrogant military character in his bones, and when he heard Weier's words, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Su Ya shook her head, and finally spoke: "Okay, don't fight anymore, whether Moduo City is defended or abandoned, I have my own plans in my heart, and today's argument will end here, well, General Heru, I still have some battles to discuss with you, and the rest of you will disperse." ”

When Long Keduo and several Moxi generals heard this, they all gave a military salute, turned around and retreated, but when they passed in front of Weir, they all had a somewhat disdainful expression, and then walked out with their heads held high.

Weil looked indifferent, and after these officers were gone, he also glanced meaningfully at Heru, and walked out with a sneer.

After all the people in the room were gone, Su Ya shook her head and looked at Heru: "Why do you bother? No matter what Wei Er said, he was also sent by the military department, and nominally inherited the title of His Majesty the Emperor's 'Qincha', although this overseer is not large, but his backstage is a group of difficult guys." ”

"Lord Duke, I just don't like that guy, hmph, it's obviously a straw bale waste, but he was sent to Moxi by the military department to point fingers, if it was twenty years ago, I met this kind of guy in the barracks, I must have broken his hands and feet first, and then directly drove him out!"

"Uncle Heru," Su Ya pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I call you uncle, you are an old subordinate under my grandfather's command, why should you be so alienated from Su Ya......? But I don't understand your actions today. ”

When Heru heard her say this, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he only smiled heroically, "Okay, Lord Duke, if you call me Uncle Heru, I will naturally not meet you." When I was under the command of your grandfather for many years, Duke Evos was the soldier I admired the most in my life, if it were not for the old Duke, how could I have the identity I have today? The Ellos family has a deep affection for my Heru, and I will remember it in my heart!"

When Su Ya heard this, she couldn't help but have a good impression of this northwestern man, who fought in the north and south when her grandfather was alive in the past, and had a very high prestige in the army, and her subordinates had cultivated a group of loyal subordinates, which was the strong support of the family in the imperial military department.

It's just that after the death of his grandfather, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the government changed, but many of the generals under the original Duke of Ellos were rarely used, and some generals in the army were either transferred or dismissed, and the prestige of the family gradually declined.

This Heru was also the first fierce general under his grandfather in the past, and he had a close personal relationship with the family, and after Su Ya returned from the front line this time, he also specially sent Perry to find it, which shows the importance he attaches to Su Ya.

Heru also seemed to be a little moved, and couldn't help but flash his eyes: "When I followed the Duke in the past, it was the happiest time in my Heru's life! What steppe cavalry, what Macedonian Isby, which army is not the defeated general of the Third Legion of our empire? As soon as the charging horn of the Third Legion sounds, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the point of the sword of the Ellios family is the will of our 'Whip of Heavenly Punishment' of all armies!"

"It's a pity, if the old duke is still alive, if His Majesty Mondevia I is still safe, I am afraid it will not be difficult to conquer this continent! Those old friends and subordinates in the past are either transferred or far away, and my old Heru has also been in this desolate place in the desert for almost thirty years, and that bit of sharpness and ambition is almost exhausted, haha......"

Su Ya frowned, and was about to comfort Heru a few words, but Heru waved his hand and smiled indifferently: "Lord Duke, I know what you want to say, today's matter is not my Heru's righteous action, it's just that this Weil will not come sooner or later, but when the front line is lost, the military department sent such a guy...... Can't you see the intent?"

Heru saw that Su Ya sank like water after hearing this, although he didn't say a word, there was a trace of essence in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "It seems that with your intelligence, you naturally understand...... The open and secret battles in the imperial capital have always been like this. The last rout at the front, His Majesty the Emperor was always more or less dissatisfied in his heart, plus for so many years, your uncle's business in the military department. Which of our subordinates who once followed the old duke is not a thorn in the eyes of those people? This time the front line is tight, and a few more cities have been lost, and the situation may be even more difficult to manage, how can those guys let go of such a good opportunity?"

When Heru said this, he grinned, but his expression was a little bitter: "I, Heru, have been operating in Moxi for many years, far away from the prosperity of the imperial capital, and I can protect myself for many years, but this time in the northwest disaster, Your Majesty transferred you, the newly promoted Duke of Ellios, I think you also know it...... I'm afraid those people are going to attack the Ellios family!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Ya just snorted coldly: "What Uncle Heru said, I naturally understand." Although the family relied on his grandfather's martial arts in the past, I am afraid that it also made the wealthy nobles of all sizes in the imperial capital worry about it, how could there be no few enemies, besides...... Even His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want the Ellos family to be dominant. ”

When Heru heard her words, he was even more relieved that Su Ya could say this to him, and it seemed that it was indeed a heart-to-heart word. couldn't help but feel less worried, just smiled slightly and said: "Imperial power, it has always been like this, although the old duke was outstanding in martial arts when he was alive, but after all, it was the reign of His Majesty Mondevia I." Those later Majesties, who is willing to use such a meritorious minister of the previous dynasty, once a prince and a courtier, to say something inappropriate, with the talent of the old duke, I am afraid that only an emperor of great talent like His Majesty Mondevideo I can control it......"

"Having said that, Uncle Heru, do you know that today you seem to be impartial, but there may be some suspicion in Navel's heart, you have been far away from the imperial capital for many years, I don't know how many people's lives are involved in this whirlpool of open and secret strife within the empire, plus the ...... of this defeat."

Heru frowned, and a trace of essence flashed on his rugged face: "Suya, do you think I deliberately made enemies?"

"What does Uncle Heru mean?"

Heru smiled, his face was the same: "This time you came to Moxi, I faintly noticed some rumors. Now it seems that I have only understood the purpose of those people in the imperial capital, and their goal is not me, but you!

Your young hereditary dukedom, coupled with the fame of the Ellios family, I am afraid that I don't know how many people are red-eyed! Hmph, not to mention anything else, this Moxi has frequent wars and turmoil, and it has been a disaster for the empire for almost many years, even if the old duke is alive, it has not been calmed down. You are a new duke who has just left the imperial capital, and His Majesty sent you to this **** place, how much thought do you have in this...... Who can't see that?"
