"The Northwest Army is naturally not easy to fool. www.biquge.info Su Ya smiled bitterly, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Jose, do you know? The power struggle within the empire is complicated, but in fact, many things are not as simple as what you see in front of you!"

When Joseph heard her say this, he also restrained his smile, nodded and said: "I believe you when you say this, not to mention anything else, the emperor of your empire dares to gamble on the safety of the frontier to centralize power, which is something I would never dare to think!"

When Jose said this, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart: this kind of thing similar to gambling on the fortune of the country is very important, and the emperor who can do this kind of thing, whether it is a faint monarch or a bright lord, I am afraid that he must be a shrewd guy who is extremely decisive and decisive!

Su Ya shook her head and glanced at Joseph with a rather calm expression:

"Actually, I didn't think too much about it. But since Heru left office, I have watched the chaos of war on the north-western border, the countless displaced people, and the situation that is deteriorating day by day. I finally understood Uncle Heru's state of mind, and finally knew the determination of those high-ranking military bosses in the empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

For more than a year, almost every two or three days in the imperial capital, there would be war reports ordering the military to report, but no reinforcements had ever arrived. It's as if those guys in the imperial capital have been watching, as if they are watching two unrelated countries fight, and they don't care.

I know that those guys in the military department, even His Majesty the Emperor, are probably waiting. Waiting for the defeat of Moxi, it is better that even me, the duke, will die here! They are not stupid, the rebellion in Moxi is not a big mess, the Macedonians are destined to not be able to cross the thousands of miles of Geerqin steppe and take Moxi into their pockets, they will inevitably retreat and leave!

At that time, at most, two or three legions will be needed to take Moxi back, but what Northwest Army, what Macedonians, is no longer a problem, and even I, the Duke, will be severely punished for losing the war, deprived of the title, or will it affect the family?

Jose's heart moved, and when he looked at Su Ya again, he couldn't help but feel a little more unbearable.

Su Ya said without reservation, obviously in the face of Jose, she was able to let go of the depression in her heart, just shook her head as usual, and then continued:

"I know what kind of disaster Moxi will face if such a situation really happens, and what kind of disaster the family will face! So even if I try my best, I can't tolerate the family being buried in the hands of my Su Ya!"

When Su Ya said this, her expression was a little excited, and her fingers were a little white because she was clenched together, but she still gritted her teeth and said as if in extreme pain:

"So I can only choose to fight, to deal with them, not only the Macedonians, but also those forces in the imperial capital!

I know that the family is now out of power, but in the fiefdoms of the south of the empire, we still have almost the most fertile land and the most tax-rich provinces! These are the things that those guys covet the family! But I can't let the people of the fiefdom down, and I can't let the banner of family honor fall into the hands of my Suya...... So I had no choice but to compromise!"

When Su Ya said this, her tone was already very weak, as if she was forcibly supporting the emotions in her heart. Qiao Se felt a little nervous at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head and look at her: "Su Ya, you are too tired these days, don't talk about it anymore......"

"José, is it okay to listen to me? There are some things that have been held in my heart for too long, but I can't tell anyone. But only you, you can know what I think in my heart, and only in the face of you, can I say these ......" Su Ya was fragile like a helpless child at the moment, her eyes looked straight at Jose, and her eyes were full of deep sorrow.

Jose's heart softened, and he only felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only nod and look at Su Ya.

"Thank you, Jose. Su Ya smiled miserably, but there was indescribable sadness in her tone: "The war in Moxi has been fought for nearly a year, and the four counties outside the Guanwai have fallen one after another, and this kind of result is probably exactly what those guys in the military department want to see, but they have never dared to attack me and the Ellios family, do you know why? Because the Moxi army is still there!"

Although Heru was transferred back to the imperial capital, the tens of thousands of tigers and wolves under him are still there! What the empire wants to see most is that the Macedonians and the Moxi army are both defeated, but as the commander of the Moxi army, I know that the main force of the Moxi army must not be damaged! Because this is a hole card, and it is also the strength that those guys have the most scruples about!

Whether it is a contest between local forces and military departments, or a contest between royal power and divine power, they need to have their own strength. If Moxi is disorganized and weakened, it is a good time for the central government to take power, but now that the Macedonians have retreated, the Moxi army is still bigger, and they still dare not attack me and Heru. ”

When José heard this, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and looked at Su Ya with some surprise, only to find that the girl's eyes were full of deep sorrow:

"Jose, I know what you're thinking right now...... Yes, as you think, the situation in Moxi will be chaotic like this, in addition to the central government of the empire not asking, I, the commander of the Moxi Army, have an unshirkable responsibility!

In addition to the fact that the four counties outside the Moxi Pass were lost, in addition to the fact that the Moxi army was untamable and refused to accept the transfer, it was also because I ordered to avoid the battle and save the main force of the Northwest Army! The cities and counties outside the pass could be captured by the Macedonians, not because the strength of the Macedonians was too strong for the Moxi army to parry, but because the garrison army was mobilized to the pass!

The army under the command of Barcelus is of course the elite Macedonian troops, but you think, the strength of the Moxi Army will definitely not be much inferior! However, if the Macedonians capture every city, we will have to invest several times the number of troops to rush to help, not only will the losses be serious, but the grain and grass logistics alone will not be able to support the Northwest Army!"

When Su Ya said this, her expression seemed to have recovered a little, but her face was still a little pale, she glanced at Jose, and couldn't help but be a little silent: "...... In fact, long before Heru left office, I found that most of the troops outside the Guanwai were concentrated in the Guannai, and I originally thought that Heru was deploying troops for the war, but later I found out that his intention was to preserve the strength of the Moxi Army.

At that time, I realized that I had no choice! I hated those military bigwigs who didn't care about the life and death of the people in Moxi, and hated the Macedonian bandits who invaded the western Xinjiang, but in order to protect my family and myself, I could only be like them!

I did not order the Moxi Army to send troops to repel the Macedonians, but continued to withdraw its troops from outside the Guan! I stationed all the main forces of the Moxi Army in the Guannei, but it was equivalent to giving up thousands of miles of land outside the Guan!

Dozens of cities and counties, tens of thousands of garrison soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were all surrendered by me to the Macedonians! Let them face the butcher's knives and flames of war of the Macedonian army, but they themselves hid in the pass and refused to send troops! I, I am as selfish as those people in the imperial capital, and I am also a disgrace to my family......" (To be continued. )
