That night, several of the rebel commanders in Boulder Town received a notice from Alok and arrived at the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition to the original regular garrison of 800 people in Aloke, and the two or three hundred people recruited by Fat Gould, the remaining 1,000 people came from the ranks of the five rebel armies. Most of these guys were garrisons in various towns, and because they lost their city defenses or were routed by the Macedonians, they learned that there was still a regular army in Boulder Town on the way to disperse, so they naturally came to take refuge and take refuge.

However, the problem is that most of these guys are conventional troops, and although there are a lot of battles in Moxi on weekdays, most of them are undertaken by Heru's Guannai army. Although this was Heru's training method, in this way, the quality of most of the troops outside the border was not high, and their regular garrison troops naturally rarely fought any hard battles.

But these people are all those who have been fighting in the army all the year round and take being a soldier as a profession, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, they are all with the temper of an uncle. On weekdays, he is used to being arrogant and domineering, except for his superiors, who basically disobey other people's control.

Most of these guys who have been gathered are garrison commanders in small towns, and they are at most at the level of battalion officers. There are many large and small towns outside the gates, with the county seat as the head, the county governor holds the political power, the county commander naturally holds the military power, and the finance chief is appointed to manage the county's financial revenue.

The separation of military, political and financial powers in the Bright Empire to weaken local power has been a tradition since the founding of the People's Republic of China and has continued for hundreds of years. This has always been done in the counties and towns within and under the province to ensure that the local authorities are unable to raise troops to rebel.

But the problem is, this is the Northwest!

The war in the northwest is constant all year round, whether it is all kinds of border frictions, large and small, horse thieves raiding or even mutiny, it is commonplace. The people in the northwest are fierce and martial, especially in all parts of the Guannai, because they are far away in the east of the river valley corridor, which is not a grain producing area, and there is a Moxi Pass in the middle, so it is even more difficult to transport grain. Most of the grain in the customs is dispatched from neighboring provinces, and the central government even has to allocate a considerable amount of expenditure for this purpose every year.

This is true in all provinces, not to mention the small towns in Kannai. I can't eat enough, so I naturally don't have the strength to farm, and the Guannai is directly connected to the hinterland of the empire, connecting the east and west of the mainland, and the trade between the two is naturally prosperous. As soon as the business travel flourished, the need for escort warriors naturally increased, and the perennial war in the northwest made it a way out for most men in the pass to be a soldier or a mercenary to escort the caravan.

It is said that there are several barren towns in the Guannai, and there are no peasants left, most of whom have become professional soldiers, and they are also the main sources of soldiers in Moxi.

Moxi people do not obey discipline, and they are brave and ruthless since ancient times. Because of the proximity to the grassland aliens, it is said that Moxi was almost all grassland people a long time ago, and the times have changed and the population has flowed, although today it is completely a province of the Bright Empire, but many of them still retain the blood of the grassland people. In appearance, most of the Northwesterners were as tall and broad-eyed as the people of the hinterland of the empire. On the contrary, it is closer to the appearance of the steppe people.

This is where the problem in Boulder Town lies, a few battalion officer-level guys control half of the city's troops, although they themselves are also here to defect to Alok. But now that the army is in chaos, and even Guan Zai has been captured by the Macedonians, who cares what level you have, but it is true that you have soldiers in your hands.

At first, these guys were quite honest, but after staying for a month, seeing that the scale of the war was getting bigger and bigger, they naturally felt a little bottomless. Coupled with the news that the Macedonians were going to draw reinforcements to attack Boulder Town, these guys were naturally shocked and prepared to run away in a hurry.

But this Yaroque, who doesn't know the times, insists on defending the city to the death, isn't this dragging everyone to the end! Originally, these guys were just scattered deserters from the defeated army, so how could they have any intention of resisting?

And everyone's level is about the same, and no one's troops are much less than yours, even if you want to defend to the death, everyone should decide together. Why do you Yarok make a big decision and take the city defense army into your own hands everywhere. What military supplies are also equipped for their subordinates first, and the rest of them are distributed to our people, which is obviously us cannon fodder?!

Naturally, none of these leaders of the rebel army are good stubble, and such a grudge is a lifetime, and it is a little unkind to look at Alok again. Although he didn't dare to go against this guy openly, it was very simple to cause him some trouble. Especially at this juncture when the battle is about to be fought, how can this kind of opportunity be missed to put pressure on this guy and force him to give up power?

So in the past half a month, the rebel army in the city, under the instructions of the commander, has either picked quarrels or fought and brawled. There were already a lot of things going on in the city, and the hundreds of people under Aroque couldn't be managed by breaking them in half, which gave him a lot of headaches.

But tonight, this guy suddenly announced the convening of a meeting, presumably because of these things, and maybe he will make some concessions.

Although some of the quick-witted rebel leaders heard that Gould who supported Alok had returned to the city today, it seemed that he had brought back a mysterious magician!

But most rebel leaders were quick to believe that this was just a bluff.

If he can recruit magicians, wouldn't magicians be too worthless? I'm afraid that they are either low-level magicians or liars who walk the rivers and lakes!

With this in mind, several rebel commanders soon arrived at the meeting hall of the garrison in the city. However, they found that Alok and Gould were already waiting for them.

Allocke's solemn look made these guys feel a little proud:

Finally, I can't help but ask us to give in......

Seeing that several leaders of the rebellious army had all arrived, Alok still did not speak, but said angrily in the Gould urn on the side:

"The main purpose of this meeting was to discuss the return of the Macedonian reinforcements, who, according to my intelligence, had already headed for the valley. Several of the more powerful rebel garrisons a hundred miles away from Boulder Town have been wiped out.

Moreover, according to the latest report of the scouts released in the city a few days ago, the Macedonians have drawn a group of elite troops from the army guarding the nearby county town in an attempt to besiege Boulder Town, and now they are stationed in the town fifty miles away, and I am afraid that they will approach here at noon tomorrow at the latest.

So...... This meeting was also a meeting for the mobilization of the whole army. Commander Alok wants you to mobilize the soldiers under your subordinates, obey the dispatch of the garrison, rearrange according to the order, divide into five formations, and unify the garrison with full management and command......"

Before Gould finished speaking, a general who was anxious immediately scolded him:

"Damn, Gould, what do you mean by this, unified under the command of your garrison? Our subordinate soldiers are handed over to you for dispatch, obviously to take our army!"

"Yes, no one wants to be recruited by Lao Tzu's soldiers!"

Immediately, some people responded, some of the leaders of the rebellious army scolded loudly, some echoed the situation, and some saw that the atmosphere was not right and remained silent.

Gould's face was dark, and he squinted at the guy who shouted the fiercest, but snorted coldly:

"Hughes, you guy seems to be the most dissatisfied! Why, you only have two or three hundred men, and you shout so loudly...... Dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this, you are really not afraid of death!"

"Gould, you ......"

The guy named Hughes was startled by Gould's angry face, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He was about to refute a few words, but before Gould could speak, he immediately scolded:

"You bastard, a guy who was chased by the Macedonians like a wild dog, now you also have the courage to play prestige in front of Lao Tzu like a dog? Lao Tzu came to ask you, what is the crime of the military decree, the following crimes, and those who do not obey the military law?

Hmph, the following offenses are not subject to military law...... Capital offense!!"
