Threat one that is not a threat

The room was very dull, and in the quiet space, except for the whispering of the two people, there was only the rustle of burning wood in the fireplace, and the guard gently closed the study according to the instructions

"This is really" The eldest prince Alisachs sat opposite the Minister of War, Prais, his face was full of regret just after reading the letter, holding a steaming glass of water in his hand, staring at the table for a long time without speaking, but the sound of heavy breathing showed that his heart was not at peace,

"On the left side of the three northern counties is the city of Baituo, the center of this battle" Prais decided to put an end to this heavy topic, and decided to express his opinion in Kaimiyama

He stood up with a stern expression, and in order to prove his reason, he deliberately took out the strategic plan he had just written down from the O1 drawer beside him, and pointed to one of them

"I have already sent someone to investigate, there are less than 10,000 Kugits left behind in the Bokuo region, with the combat power of His Royal Highness's First Knights, as long as one attack can be taken lightly, and when the time comes, you can use this as a backing to break north until the Kugit in Tulga is blocked on the border"

"Isn't it too risky to use Bai Kuo as a starting point for a counterattack?

It is only a day's journey from the main Kugit forces assembled on the border, and if the three northern counties are as the letter says, we have not sold our backs to the enemy."

The eldest prince Ali Saxophone looked at the map on the text unnaturally, and his two eyebrows frowned together,

Although he didn't understand the advanced strategy, judging from the map in his hand, the three northern counties on Bai Kuo's side were like a knife hanging over his head, which could cut off the logistics of the army advancing north at any time, which was tantamount to a catastrophe for a large number of soldiers fighting in the cold season."

"Yes, it's risky, but it's definitely worth the try" Prais agrees with the Prince's concerns, but he still affirms, "The Kujits have looted a large amount of material in our country, and they have been hoarded in the city of Berko, on the border, and His Highness's First Army can use this place as a logistics supply center after the offensive starts, which can save a lot of trouble in transportation."

"The transfer of the three northern counties is the best cover for this mobilization of troops, even if the Kugit people show the whereabouts of our army, they will treat His Highness's army as an inconsequential team in the hearts of the Tulga people, we are being disturbed by the cavalry of the Eastern Court, and we will not focus the attack on them"

As for the three northern counties, Prais's voice paused, and he clenched his hands into fists and said, "I will inform them of this defense plan in advance, but they will not think that His Highness will go with a secret order to arrest them, and I will ask the 9th knight Bolotov, who is stationed on the edge of the three northern counties, to assist you."

"Bolotov, you mean the Bolotov Knights, formed by the New Northern Army"

Prince Alisax asked, the Northern Army has been idle since the crushing defeat, and in the first battle of Yeruige, Duke Berrant proved to the kingdom with his own blood and 5,000 northern jīg Rui that the Northern Army still has the combat strength of these outstanding warriors who are good enough to fight new battles,

During Dale William's tenure as Minister of War, a new group of generals of the Northern Army was activated, and the original combination of infantry and cavalry was separated to form two knights responsible for the defense of the flanks of the kingdom, of which the 18th Heavy Infantry Knights composed of 20,000 infantry were stationed in the southern region, responsible for monitoring the movements of the southern Rods, and the remaining 15,000 cavalry formed the new 9th Knights, the commander was the famous cavalry general Bolotov, who was one of the main generals who could not resist the northward advance, and was appointed by the Duke of Berlant as the left-behind officer of the three northern counties, this force was called the New Northern Army because of its fierce and brave style

I only paid special attention to him because this time Prais's northern reconstruction plan, in addition to the formation of a new northern army from the original army, there is also a core content, that is, to use the three northern counties of the Ninth Knights of Bolotov as a base, absorb new soldiers from the refugees who are now displaced in the north, and prepare for a counterattack on the north in the future.

In this regard, the Ninth Knights did quite well, but in just over a month, they absorbed nearly 20,000 young people from the north and became an important force in the north to resist the Kugit cavalry

"I believe that with Bolotov's legions, these rebels do not dare to make too obvious moves," Prais said, picking up a pen from the table and writing down the name of the place with great caution, and then said slowly

"All our supplies will be secretly mobilized to this place, you must solve the hidden danger of the three northern counties before the battle moves, otherwise it is difficult to imagine that these hateful traitors will not be stabbed in our back, and then not only will the new offensive of the kingdom be destroyed, but I am afraid that some of the advantages just gained will also be lost",

"Just run to arrest like this, I'm afraid that I will meet help, after all, they are the local lords" Ali Sachs said his worries with a look of embarrassment, since he knew that he was the protagonist of this battle, Ali Sachs's impression of this always strict and old-fashioned military minister has changed greatly, and the resentment in his heart has long been thrown out of the sky with the jī movement before the war,

This battle is undoubtedly a battle of great significance, if it succeeds, the call for himself to take over the throne will also seem to be natural, but if it fails, it will inevitably become an excuse for other princes to attack him, this is a double-edged sword, any mistake will cause a series of reactions

"It's not a problem, it's like catching a mountain fox, the most important step is to seduce the fox out of it" Prais God - firmly stopped his pen, and then put the letter in the envelope with his own signature, and gave it to Ali Sachs on the opposite side with extreme caution

"This is an order signed by me personally, Your Highness can select and transfer the lords of the three northern counties to gather together in the name of discussing the Battle of the Long Corridor, and then Your Highness can arrest all these guys in one fell swoop

"As for the charges that will soon be there," Prais said with a smile on his lips, "because when the time comes, I will personally come forward and testify that they secretly kidnapped Dale William and made him sign those filthy traitorous jiàns."

Isn't it too easy."

Ali Sax felt a sense of frustration that he couldn't laugh or cry in, and the Prais in front of him was still the rumored rude, and it was as easy as it was easy to get hold of these dark things

"That's the blood of a dozen lords, big and small" Thinking of these noble heads, being cut off by the guessed crimes, made Alexus feel a chill that he couldn't resist

He knew that as the only person involved in that matter, no one really could refute Prais, and even if there were, it would be deliberately ignored by His Majesty the King, and this time the lords of the three northern counties, who were afraid of death, would not have thought that Prais, who saved them from the cession plan, would become the mastermind behind the burial of them

"Okay, Your Highness, time is tight, I won't delay you," Prais urged, "The three northern counties have been very deferential since the last incident, and even the punishment of Dale William seems indifferent, as if it has nothing to do with themselves."

Prais paused in his voice and continued, "But now I know that it is not calm and generous, but the fear that has been broken by the scheming, as Dale William said, his death can only make these guys dare not come out in public for the time being, dare not be the first to raise the banner of rebellion, but it will never be long, they did not continue to entangle because the rebellion is imminent, these rats of yīgou do not want the eyes of the kingdom to focus on them"

After saying this, Prais's mouth fluctuated slightly, which was very different from the generosity he had shown at the Imperial Council last night

Coming out of Prais's mansion, Ali Sachs felt a little confused, as Prais analyzed, he also felt that the situation in the three northern counties was a little strange recently,

In the past, those small lords in the north, as long as there was a disturbance, would cry and shout and send people to Parabon to seek protection from the regular army of the kingdom, and some did not even see the shadow of the Kujits, so they chose to give up their territory in panic.

This is also the main reason why the war situation in the north has fallen into an uncontrollable scene from the beginning, but those lords of the three northern counties, even if they are attacked by the Kujits, have chosen to remain silent and silent, as if they are trying their best to hide something

At this moment, there was a noise in the distance, and Alisachs looked up and saw that as the sun dispelled the cold fog, the streets of Paravon began to increase in numbers, and the refugees along the way began to wake up from their numbness, and some ordinary citizens in sackcloth, also holding jars of things in their hands, lined up at the entrance of the city under the watchful eye of the soldiers, waiting for the opening of the city

These were the citizens waiting to go to the outside of the city to fill the water, the wells inside the city were now the focus of the army, as a measure to avoid poisoning the enemy, except for the nobles who owned their own wells, the ordinary citizens of the city had to go to the rivers outside the city to fetch water, which had become commonplace in recent months

But I don't know why, today's city entrance is particularly lively, not only are there many more people lined up than before, but the soldiers guarding the city also have an extra squadron of troops, it is these people who make the already crowded city even more crowded, those who enter the city and those who leave the city are crowded together, and no one will let anyone, blocking the whole city tightly.

"Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong ahead" A servant rode back from the front, and reported to the suspicious Prince Alisachs with a strange expression, "3 carriages from the three northern counties overturned in the city passage, and I heard the soldiers say that after the curfew last night, when they were checking some hidden areas, they ran out of the darkness in a panic, and the people jumped out of the car while driving, and the carriage that lost control hit the city fence and overturned on the spot, and it is said that several soldiers were injured"

"Why hasn't last night's incident been dealt with until now?What are the guards at the entrance of the city doing?" Ali Sachs frowned slightly, he was worried about the affairs of the three northern counties, why did he still encounter such a bad thing at this time

The guards did not dare to move the carriage, and the face of the officer was full of sleepiness and caution, "Because when they tried to carry the overturned carriage, it was now full of standard weapons used by the army, about a thousand pieces, and the city officer thought that this matter was too unusual, so he could only report it to the city guard in Paravon and wait for someone to deal with it."

"What, thousands of standard weapons"

This number made Alisak's eyebrows unconsciously pick, what are you afraid of, since the Dongting army hit the periphery of Paravon, some big nobles in the city began to buy weapons in large quantities, preparing to form a small-scale army to support the defense of the city if necessary, which is not a taboo in Paravon,

However, after the Battle of Yerega, the threat of Paravon was lifted, and the nobles who intended to assist in defending the city gave all their weapons to the royal family, and now no one could have such a large reserve of weapons

Thinking of Prais's words just now, the cold sweat of the eldest prince Alisax fell, thousands of weapons are enough to equip a squadron, if the three northern counties are erecting their own rebel flags, it is suddenly difficult to send dead soldiers in Paravon, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable

"This matter must be reported to the father immediately"

A thought flashed through Alexachs's mind, and he grabbed the reins of his horse with one hand and shouted to the servant beside him, "Follow me into the city from the west"

The horses turned southeast and flew up a cloud of dust,

"Do you think this method works?" In an attic on the far side of the city, two black shadows were whispering, occasionally pointing at the soldiers blocking the passage of citizens in the city, and one of them was a little unwilling to say, "3 carriages, thousands of high-quality weapons, it's a pity to give them away like this, if they are placed on the black market, they can be sold for at least 10,000 gold coins."

"Which is more important, tens of thousands of gold coins or your head," the other scolded in a low voice, "This is a task done by the above, if you mess up, everyone will have to die, and last night there was a brother who was responsible for carrying weapons, just because he was drunk and talked nonsense afterwards, and he was ordered to dispose of it on the spot, and now he can't see anyone alive or dead."

"You mean the drunken old Duoli," the dark shadow shrank his head, and said in a cold tone, "That guy should die if he was here, if he hadn't drunk and misbehaved, he wouldn't have killed two more brothers in the last mission"

"Squeak"

Just when the two were talking in a low voice, a hidden small quilt behind them was pushed away from the inside out, and Isa Moriel, who was dressed in a plain-long dress, came in from the outside, and put the war knife at her waist heavily on the table, so frightened that the two of them quickly shut up, and they didn't dare to breathe, everyone could see that the temper of the first time was quite hot

"Botto, let the brothers prepare to evacuate" Isamoryl commanded in a deep voice to one of the dark shadows, her face was a little pale, a pair of eyes were red, she had just come over an important surveillance point, and she stayed up for 2o days to finally wait for the target to appear, and for this mission, she also had a lot of complaints, she secretly assassinated the first killer, and was completely ordered by the fat man, arranged to monitor a little-known little knight commander, and it was the kind of person who couldn't do it,

It was this fool's order that allowed her team to follow her from Amira to Paraven for a period of 2o days, just to stage a farce with the weapons she had prepared long ago after the target sent a letter, which meant that if the target didn't send the letter, she would have to wait

This is always used to using violent means to solve the problem Isa Moriel can ask for her life, according to her plan, isn't it just a letter, kill people, the old lady to deliver the letter will not get it It's a pity that the ancillary conditions of this mission let her wish be frustrated, the fat man said in the order sent to the assassin "If the target is dead, not only will you not give money, but you will also be deducted"

"Leave immediately?" asked Boto cautiously,

"Yes, right now, I don't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment," Isamoriel commanded in a categorical tone,

"You report the news of the completion of the task to the headquarters, and then ask everyone to prepare a few more horses, we will not go back to Vicchia, and go directly to the north of the Aichemore I want to sue sù that guy who owes me a flat job, even let me do this kind of task with no time limit, this is a level, if it weren't for luck, maybe I would stay here for the rest of my life, and the commission this time would be doubled, otherwise the old lady would burst into him with a bow and arrow."

Big 6 North, Green Promenade

The night was deep, the gray sky was pitch black, there were no stars, no moon, not even wind, as if the confrontation between the Kugit archers and the Vicchian army had condensed the heavens and the earth,

The torches flickering like stars in the distance, the 60,000 main force that should have appeared on the left flank, but now it was the falcon banner of the Vikian army, which undoubtedly made the exhausted Kujiit feel a sense of frustrated frustration

They didn't expect that they would lose so badly, so quickly, but after only a few days, the original advantage was completely reversed to the side of the Wikimen, and every time they saw the huge battle flag fluttering in the wind in the opposite camp, many people would feel the rapid beating of their hearts.

It was the battle banner of the Grand Duke of Falcon, a powerful existence that even immortals would choose to retreat from, since the collapse of the left flank, this kind of rumor has been scattered in the camp of the Kujits, as evidenced by the powerful lightning that shattered the battle flag of the left flank

At first, there were officers in charge, but later it spread more, and even the officers were difficult to manage, everyone was hungry, rather than watching these words that could not satisfy hunger, it was better to dig some grassroots nearby

Because of the sharp reduction in troops, the original 120,000 troops suddenly became 60,000, which was basically the same as the Vichian army opposite.

In this case, even the Khan King Si Sai Ali personally inspected the guards, and watching his own jīg Rui royal court guards fall one by one in this hunger and cold, Si Sai Ali's face was already completely indifferent
