Chapter 487, Char's Weakness, Northern Empire, New Singee City......

New Singee is a new name that was originally the capital city of Esria County.

Esria County was occupied by the Besta Military Region at the beginning of the civil war, and then the Besta Military Region broke away from the rebel camp and surrendered to the Empire *Central, and the act of surrendering was pleased by the emperor, and the subsequent reward, the Empire *Central did not acquiesce to the Besta people's occupation of Esria County, and even explicitly allowed the merger of Esria County and the original Besta Military Region into a new Besta Region.

This is of course a commendation from the Imperial Central Government for the surrender of the Besta Military Region, and it also reflects that the Imperial Central Government has no control over the local political situation. Even if the Empire had the intention to reclaim Esria County, it did not have such power. I had to pinch my nose and acquiesce to this behavior.

The beautiful Governor's wife of the Besta Military Region is eloquent and does not let men. After King Qin was enthroned and returned to the north, he vigorously implemented the new policy, and the action of integrating the two counties was quickly completed, of course, the Besta people occupied Esria County for more than half a year, and the internal has already been digested, and this official merger is just one more name.

In addition, another move by the governor's wife was to move the new district in the new city from the former Besta military district to the county of Esria.

The county of Esria has always been wealthy, and the trade routes from north to south have always been rich, and the prefecture is also known for its commercial prosperity. The size and population of the city are larger than those of the Besta Military District, and it should be said that it is a very correct move to move the government here. However, the Governor's wife's actions were even more meaningful!

Then this move of the government moved the ruling heart over, and such a relocation was naturally indispensable for the adjustment and merger between the various internal subordinates, etc., "through a series of magical means of this beautiful governor's wife", or ascending and secretly descending, or denigrating, or vacant, or co-opting, or divided. Soon a purge and redistribution of power was completed internally, "It turned out that the old courtiers who were secretly loyal to the old governor's faction and supported the poor General Lear who remained in the imperial capital were basically eaten and wiped clean, even if there were one or two leaky fish, the governor's wife deliberately stayed unmoved to appease people's hearts, and they could no longer set off any storms."

And after moving the administrative office, this woman issued an N decree "to change the name of the city of Xinfu to "New Singki". The name, in Byzantine language, means a new prosperous place.

The internal rectification has gradually been completed, and since the governor's wife has cleared away the hidden dangers inside, she is naturally ambitious, and she is ready to do a big job.

But today, in the new Governor's Palace in New Zealand, there is a jubilant mood up and down, "there is no tension at all, there are lights everywhere, and even the servants up and down have changed into new clothes."

Because today is the birthday of the old governor of Besta.

The old governor has been recuperating behind closed doors in recent years, and he has appeared less and less in front of his courtiers, and it has always been the governor's wife who is in charge of the overall situation, but also in order to appease his subordinates, the old governor still has to occasionally appear from time to time, "It's just that such opportunities have become less and less rare in recent years."

Those who have a heart actually know that the governor's wife has gradually diluted the old governor's sense of existence. And after today, I am afraid that the old governor will show up again, and I don't know when it will be.

In any case, on the Governor's birthday, the important courtiers, generals, and officials of the Besta Group "still have to come to the banquet to congratulate them." Therefore, the governor's palace is also a festive appearance of laughter and laughter.

The foreign ministers who came to congratulate the banquet "naturally had confidants in the governor's palace in charge of the reception.

And just when the front hall was very lively, in a secluded small courtyard behind the governor's palace, "the beautiful governor's wife, but her face was like frost, and she looked coldly at the people kneeling on the ground in front of her.

The Governor's wife was dressed in a gorgeous red dress, which was exactly the outfit for the banquet, and today she was even more powdered, and she was already beautiful, but she was even more touching and charming.

But at this moment, the few people kneeling in front of her were like a great enemy, with awe-inspiring expressions, and their faces were full of fear and apprehension, where did they dare to look at her more?

"So, you were kicked out in such a disgraced way? The other party arrested you, and instead of punishing you, they sent them out of the country? And then you ran back in such a disgraced manner?"

This woman's voice is very light and thin, and the way she speaks seems to be slow...... It's just that these people kneeling in front of them are all sweating on their foreheads, and these people naturally know that the more the governor's wife speaks so softly, it is a sign of the anger in the heart of this hostess!

"Very well, you guys are doing a great job. The governor's wife sighed, and deliberately sneered: "You really give me a long face! It's also a shame that you are all veterans of this industry for many years, and you were actually swept out by a hundred and ten soldiers who were randomly drawn from the army by a security bureau in the new city!"

The people kneeling in front of him were the spies and spies who Char had cleaned and rectified Denzel City a few days ago and swept out of the city. It's just that these intelligence officers who belong to the Besta Military Region, Char politely released them directly and sent people to expel them.

The people kneeling in front of them were all trembling, just for one person, finally mustered up the courage and said: "We were derelict in our duties, we didn't dare to find excuses, and we were willing to accept punishment, but we really had a hard time, and we had to show it to our wife.........

"Oh, do you have any excuses? The Governor's wife looked a little lonely.

"Yes. The man who spoke calmed down slightly, and said slowly: "Madam, it's not that we don't do our best. Ever since we entered the city of Denzel and lurked, we have all been diligent in our duties, and we have not slackened off for a single day. They also tried their best to find out the inside information of the northerners. It's just "...... Madam, you are wise, and you should understand that the days of Char's thunderous rise were too short. Our infiltration of them had only just begun, and his place of rule, Denzel City, was a small city with a population of only tens of thousands. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, all of whom are registered and identified. On weekdays, we lurk there, and it's safe, but once the other party starts to check..."Originally, there were not many people there, and everyone was familiar with each other" We outsiders couldn't hide immediately, just like a few soybeans thrown into a wheat pile, the target was too obvious.........

The Governor's wife listened, nodded slightly, and finally changed her tone to a slightly calmer tone: "Okay, that's a reason. It is true that Char's thunder has risen too quickly, and your infiltration of him is too short." I accept all of these reasons. But dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty, and those who were driven back this time were all demoted by two levels and suspended from pay for one year. Are you convinced of this decision?"

Hearing such a decision, these people immediately raised their heads and looked at the hostess in surprise.

It's not because the punishment is too heavy, but it's too light!!

"Doing intelligence has always been a dangerous job, and the more dangerous the job, the easier it is to achieve results, and promotion has always been fast." So even though I was demoted two levels, as long as I worked hard in the future and was lucky, I might be able to get back in just a year and a half.

As for the suspension of pay...... Everyone knows that to do intelligence work, you don't live on that salary, but on activity funds!!

Buying intelligence, making friends with enemy forces, etc., are all about spilling a lot of money, these people who do intelligence, the money in their hands on weekdays is like flowing water, who will really be inferior to those salaries?

"Thank you, Madame, for your leniency!" the leader looked moved: "We will redraw the plan" and the route of Moore will be re-......... within the year

"No need. The Governor's wife suddenly interrupted the other party coldly: "From now on, all operations against the Northern Army will be stopped...... The unfinished plans "are all put on hold, and all the dark lines that have been revealed have been withdrawn" have not yet been revealed," ...... Well...... ,..." The woman groaned slightly, and said, "Let's withdraw too." From now on, stop all action on them. ”

"The leader ............ looked at the hostess with his mouth wide open.

"Hmph, they arrested you, didn't embarrass you, and released you all the beards and shadows back, don't you think it's enough to be ashamed? You still want to go back and ask for your humiliation? You have this heart, I don't have such a thick skin......" The governor's wife said in a mocking tone: "This time they let you come back, it was Char Leiming who sold me face! Otherwise, where would you still have the life to kneel here and beg me for mercy now? I'm afraid that you would have been hanged outside the gates of Denzel City long ago!" Since the other party has sold my face, then I am embarrassed to do anything more. Char, if he really annoys him, I'm afraid that he will do anything. Now is not the time to make enemies with the northerners...... That's the end of it. ”

Speaking of this, the woman raised her hand and waved: "Everyone go out...... "You stay." ”

The last sentence was addressed to the man in the lead.

The others were relieved as if they had been pardoned, and hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

In this small courtyard, only the governor's wife and the little intelligence leader in front of her were left.

"As for Char's information, I've seen all the things you brought back at the end. It's not bad, although you have been exposed, but you have finally accomplished an important thing. The governor's wife sighed, took out a booklet from a table behind her, flipped through it slightly, and said: "The news in this is quite detailed, it seems that you are really attentive, otherwise, how can I easily spare you!"

The man in front of him was covered in cold sweat, standing there and not daring to interject.

The booklet in the Governor's wife's hand was obviously the information that had just been gathered recently.

It doesn't really have the core secrets of Char's internal group, but what is recorded in this booklet is a lot of information from various channels, such as ordinary soldiers of Char's army, low-ranking officers, and even taverns and inns. Some of them were asked by drunken soldiers, and some were even ordinary grooms, cooks, and even farmers who supplied vegetables to the garrison.

There are even some news that came out of the mouth of the groom who gave Char Leiming a horse in the garrison mansion.

None of these verbal records are classified, but most of them revolve around a theme!

Battle of Sirtanshire!!

Through the lurking in the city of Denzel, from the ordinary sergeants and junior officers of the army in the tavern inn, from the farmers who supplied the army, from the civilians who served as soldiers for the army, from the men who served as auxiliaries for the army, and even from the lowly minions who were related to the servants of the garrison, etc., all the news about the battle of Syltan County was inquired from all sides, from all angles, from all sides!

No matter how big or small, everything that can be heard, even some inconspicuous details, even what kind of food the army eats, and so on......

All the information was finally summarized, analyzed and investigated, and such a booklet was prepared.

And if Char saw this book and a half here, he would definitely be very surprised!

Because it was some details and hearsay from the pawns of ordinary people, all brought together, almost the battle of Siltan County was restored to seventy or eighty percent!!

After the Battle of Syrantin, "the soldiers who participated in the war, even if they occasionally inadvertently talked about some details of the war with their families, even if it was some news that seemed to be very unimportant, and their family members accidentally told friends or neighbors to hear it"...... However, these intelligence officers of the Besta Military Region all went to the door to pretend to be passers-by or travelers to get close, and then carefully set out these seemingly inconsequential news.

This compliment, very willing!

But it is these seemingly unimportant details that are brought together, dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, "It is enough to restore the original appearance of that war!"

"You are my old courtier, you were originally in the army, you are familiar with military affairs, and you have done intelligence work for many years, I want to hear your opinion. The Governor's wife squinted.

The intelligence officer pondered slightly, calming down for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Madam...... That Char Thundering General, since defeating the Odin Chixue Army, "recovering Siltan County, and pacifying the Corsica region in the east, has made outstanding achievements, and has been called the first general of the empire in the modern era, even if he is a military leader like General Adric, although he can also be called a famous general, but in terms of external records, "it is not as good as this Char Thundering." Now above the big 6, although the evaluation of Char Leiming is mixed, "but the title of famous general, he is already a well-deserved first person today." ”

This is the truth.

The Byzantine Empire has been at war with the Odin for a hundred years, "most of them have lost more and won less, and more often than not, a draw is considered a victory." Even if it was a mainstay of the empire like General Adric, the first elite of the empire like the commander of the Rhoderia cavalry, he never really took much advantage when facing the Odin.

Like Char Thundering, it is already a great cause that the empire has never had in a hundred years to destroy a main army of the Odin people in a single battle.

The title of the number one contemporary general, although somewhat amazing, is not necessarily exaggerated.

"Char Lei Ming has a great reputation now, known as the number one general, but his subordinates can analyze it carefully"...... In fact, he has not been in the army for a long time, and even other high-ranking generals of the emperor, such as General Adric, such as General Ruhl, etc...... This Char Leiming's military qualifications are really shallow and excessive, and even "...... , his so-called "famous general", since his debut, has not really participated in several wars at all. ”

"From the information we have obtained, Char Thundering's army began with the cavalry of Rodria and he was taken under Adric's command. The first time he experienced the battle in the army, he was a scout, in that battle, he killed several people, got promoted, and then in the battle of Arbuckt Plains, he accompanied the army as a vanguard cavalry squad, that time his troops were ambushed, Char Thundering was almost killed in that battle, but he was lucky to kill a prince of the Odin, and later returned to the army with a few colleagues who were separated in the chaos. However, because of that injury, he stayed in the camp and did not participate in the battle of the Arbuckt Plains, but this gave him an opportunity, in that war, Hasting's Black Flag Army attacked south and routed the eastern troops of the Empire, and the Black Flag Army immediately outflanked the camp of the Rhodria cavalry, and the real rise of Char's roar also began from that battle. He organized the soldiers who stayed behind, and even armed all the auxiliary battalions, led his troops to resist the battalion, and even had a record of personally going into battle to fight against Hasting, and even heard that he had injured Hasting's subordinates and thought that the news was a bit exaggerated, Char at that time, I was afraid that he did not have the ability to injure Hasting, "But he can come back alive under Hasting's men, which is enough to show his ability." ”

Later, in response to the withdrawn large army, Char Leiming once gathered the miscellaneous soldiers of the battalion, and even heard that he even gathered all the horsemen and cooks, and gathered more than 300 horsemen. At that time, he finally came to prominence. After the war, he was also promoted for his merits. However, he was almost framed because of the powerful people of the imperial capital, and he was only spared under the protection of Adric and Ruhl. After returning to the imperial capital to be entitled, he was greatly appreciated by His Majesty Emperor Kantos, who heard about the Imperial Capital Hunting Conference, and His Majesty promised to take the title of duke in public...... ，......””

"The Red Snow Army of the Odin invaded south, and he was the commander of armaments in Moore at the time, but he was only a local officer at the level of a banner regiment. However, he dared to single-handedly pretend to be an envoy to enter Odin's camp to meet Manninger, deceived Manninger into delaying the march, and then bought enough time to exercise the scorched earth strategy around the city of Denzel, and Manninger's army entered the south, but because it could not collect enough food, it had to be defeated under the city of Denzel. After that, the Odin people went all the way south to sweep the county of Siltan, but the city of Denzel was spared, giving Char a chance to breathe. ”

"Looking at the composition of his subordinate army, I heard that some of them were horse thieves who had been recruited, and some of them were mercenaries recruited from the wildfire fields, but most of the main force was "the remnants of the original Sixth and Seventh Corps of the Central Army!" It was the addition of the remnants of these regular armies that allowed his army to take shape. It was also heard that he had gathered some of the remnants of Rodria cavalry, which made the army mighty. These are the elite of his current Northern Army. ”

According to the information we have gathered, it was Grimm, nicknamed Mad Dog, who led the main army of the Northern Army south to confront Manninger's army, attracting all the attention of the Odin. And Char Thundering led a small force of cavalry, and attacked the rear to harass "the first battle and took Manninger's old nest new city, forcing Manninger to return to the army" Char Thundering took danger again, and actually did not defend according to the Xiongcheng" instead took his small group of elite cavalry out of the city, ambushed Manninger's main vanguard cavalry team, and won the battle, so that Manninger's cavalry was lost, and he completely lost the initiative in the war...... Madam, I have to say that at this time, this Char's luck is really good and enviable! Although the morale of the Odin people was very bad at that time, the main force still had tens of thousands of infantry. But the coach Manninger vomited blood and died, and then the army was disheartened, and he was in chaos without a fight, giving Char a chance to win! It can be said that to annihilate Odin's Red Snow Army, this Char's thunder can be said to be three points by strength, three points by luck, and three points by risk!"

"Throughout Char's military strategy, judging by the few examples of his participation in battle, he is a man of great courage and a great sense of adventure.

Several of his victories were in a critical situation, even in a desperate situation, and then took a risk, and finally won the victory. This kind of behavior, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have lost all his capital long ago, but he was surprisingly lucky, and he took risks several times to turn the situation around in a crisis. The information I got was that if he hadn't succeeded in attacking Xincheng in the first battle of Syltanjun, at that time, the main force of the Northern Army led by Mad Dog Green had confronted the Odin, and had already formed a situation of encirclement by the Odin, and even the army had almost run out of food...... I'm afraid that Green's main force has been annihilated by the Odin, and at that time, no matter how risky Char is, he will not be able to return to the sky. ”

"Char Leiming is very famous now, but throughout his resume, he has never had formal experience in commanding a large corps of battles, and I even doubt that he has the ability to command and coordinate a large corps of operations. He seems to be very good at commanding small groups of elites to raid and fight in the form of surprise soldiers, and his personal bravery is outstanding, and he has won the hearts of the army. However, according to my guess, because his resume in the army is too shallow, I am afraid that if he really commands a large army to fight, "he will not be so brilliant!"

Now it seems that Green, the mad dog under his command, has played a very important role in the group of the Northern Army! It can be said that although Char Leiming is nominally the brain and supreme commander of the Northern Army, in fact, in the war, it is Green who commands the large corps, while Char himself is the commander, often leading a small group of elites to play the role of a vanguard general. ”

"The ability to lead troops and the ability to command cannot be innate. No matter how good Char's talent is, he has never really commanded a large army, so I can conclude that this must be his shortcoming! If one day, I, the Besta and the Northern Army, are enemies, we can take advantage of this weakness of him! As long as we find a way to get rid of the mad dog Green! The Char Thundering Group will lose the only outstanding commander who is capable of commanding a large corps, and the Northern Army Group may have other outstanding military and strategic talents, but above its prestige, it will no longer be able to find a candidate who can replace the mad dog Green to command the army! And Char Thundering's own excellence lies only in taking a surprising attack, mainly guarding against this one, not giving him a chance to take risks, and only using the strong strength of the large corps to push over in a dignified manner and force him to fight a decisive battle head-on, and his methods will not be able to be used. In the case of a small difference in strength, we have more than 50% chance of winning a head-on decisive battle!"

If Char were here, listening to this person's long talk, he would definitely be in a cold sweat!

This analysis almost really saw through Char's advantages and disadvantages!

Indeed, Char was not very good at commanding large armies in battle, and to this day, he is not very good at playing the role of a commander, commanding an army of tens of thousands and coordinating all aspects...... ，... It's not what he's good at.

Even in reality, Char does not have such an ability now.

When the governor's wife heard this, her face was calm, not happy or angry, and her eyes were the same, as if she had been pondering for a long time.

By the time she opened her eyes again, a complicated smile had already appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth.

"Okay, you've done a good job, and this information and analysis is worth more than a thousand gold! Go and pay a thousand gold coins to the department, I will reward you, and you can go down and rest." ”

At the order of the Governor's wife, the intelligence officer immediately took her leave, leaving the Governor's wife alone in the courtyard, and she flipped through the booklet in her hand.

"Char, Char, Char......" ...... I don't know, will we really have a day when the showdown field "......"

※※※

Denzel City garrison house.

Char looked at the person in front of him, the turtle had already stared at the boss with his eyes and mouth open.

It was a long time before he swallowed it with great difficulty. Spitting: "You, you, you...... You're really ?!!! Todoro."
