2383 The Wind Passes Through the Corridor (3)

The heavens and the earth are vast, and the June wind and rain sweep the entire eastern part of the Obarro continent, and the scene that permeates the heaven and earth in front of you is countless white rain lines that moisturize things silently, the rain lines hit the wooden roof of the carriage, and the beads of Tata like broken threads fell on the hearts of the people in the car, and a team of Istanbul Imperial light cavalry wearing silver-edged armor escorted a carriage and slowly drove into the iron gate,

The horse's hooves rumbled into the rain-swept ground, splashing white water, on the steps of the building, more than a dozen generals of the Istanbul Empire stood on the steps, saw the carriage in the distance enter the gate, saw the red and black trimmed cloak of the emperor's Praetorian Guard fluttering in the wind, the generals subconsciously glanced at each other, and their hearts were bitter, if it was a month ago, Kyoto would not dare to do this, but now the situation is completely different,

Kyoto secretly signed a secret agreement with the six southern countries in exchange for the six provinces sending troops to Iran, and Kyoto, which was originally weak, was supported by nearly 100,000 troops of the six countries, and even had the momentum of just defeating the invasion of the eastern provinces of the empire in one fell swoop

Among the areas involved in this secret treaty, there is the southern Vera Province where the 17th Army is stationed, and the Kyoto Military Department has issued three orders before, requiring the 17th Army to withdraw from the Vera Province and hand over the Vera Province to Fei Ze in the six southern countries, all of which were ignored by the 17th Army, but this time, the emperor's envoy came in person, even if it was to find another reason, the 17th Army would have to move, otherwise, it would be a rebellion!

When did our empire of Iraq fall into such a situation? As a soldier of Iraq, it is a shame to be able to watch the land become the flesh of others!

The generals' hearts were full of grief and indignation, their faces turned pale, and their eyes invariably fell from the carriage to the body of Pasnawe, the commander of the Seventeenth Army standing at the front. For this place, he has experienced countless battles, with no less than seventeen scars on his body, and has experienced the most glorious period of the Istanbul Empire, and at this moment his pale hair is wet with rain, and his black and red heavy armor can no longer move around like he did in his prime, revealing a breathtaking momentum, and his straight posture is like a strong goshawk,

Lord Pasnawi, who is now standing in front of him and sheltering the south of the empire, is already showing his old age, and the red general's cloak can't hide the back of the old man's bow. In the white and rainy world. Lonely and desolate, two of the three sons died in the south of the empire, and it is considered that the soul has been melted into the mountains here, and the only one left, who accompanied the former emperor to the expedition of Fei Shan, is now also unknown in life and death, I heard that the Falcon Empire has proposed to release the Istan soldiers in exchange, but Kyoto has always been unenthusiastic. In the end, because of the protests of the people of Kyoto, Kyoto agreed to the exchange agreement, and even then, it was carried out intermittently. Obviously, if it is delayed again, who knows if it will take a few years, or decades?

The Paz family, the famous generals in the south of the empire. Even if it came to the end of Pasnawe's generation, Pasnavi had been shot through the lungs by a cluster of arrows when he was young, although he was already healed. But the cough after old age is getting more and more serious, the day is fine, and at night it is almost the whole night's cough, and there is a problem with rest, even if it is an iron body, it can't be consumed, not to mention this month, Lord Pasnavi is angry at the fact that Kyoto sold one-third of the land in the south in exchange for the six countries to send troops, and he scolded the new emperor many times for being a loser, and the cub sold his grandfather Tian without pain, and several generations of Iraqi emperors worked hard to expand the territory in the south, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi soldiers fought flesh and blood, all of which were sent out by the new emperor, this is a shame for the soldiers, and even more so for the country!

The evacuation from the southern province of Vera may have been a change of garrison for other generals, but for Lord Pasnawi, it was the collapse of the credibility of the military that he had held on to all his life

The six southern wars of the Iranian Empire in a hundred years, the province of Vera is the most important combat area, but also the area that suffered the most heavy losses, at least more than 500,000 young people of Vera, one after another died on the southern battlefield, the most recent one was ten years ago, the former emperor of the Iranian Empire, Soladin I, and the alliance of the four southern countries war, it was the 17th Army Corps composed of 50,000 sons led by Pasnavi to carry the most tragic eastern front, and finally the emperor successfully forced the four southern countries to sign the famous Balasu clause with the Iranian Empire, recognizing the hegemony of the Iranian Empire in the east, and giving up control of the Alonthos region, who would have thoughtAfter only ten years, the new emperor of the empire did not hesitate to spit out Alonthos, known as the largest trade distribution center in the east, and even gave the province of Vera to the six southern countries

There was a crunch, the carriage stopped in front, and the raindrops bloomed on the roof of the carport like a little flower of darkness.

The generals were still hesitating to come forward to greet them, and the people in the car couldn't wait to push the car door, regardless of the rain outside, known as one of the new emperor's most trusted henchmen, Luo Aijia, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, walked down from above with a cold face, eagle-like eyes, after looking left and right, surrounded by several Praetorian Guard officers wearing red and black cloaks, he walked directly to this side, as a military newcomer who made outstanding achievements in the fight against the rebels, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he directly promoted the position of the deputy head of the military affairs department from the head of the banner regiment in one fell swoop, how could he put the old seventeenth army in front of him, not to mention that he is still the emperor's envoy with a prominent status

His gaze immediately fell on the white-haired Pasnawi, and the two sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Lord Pasnawi, this is an order signed by His Majesty the Emperor personally, this time the chief personally sent it, don't say that you haven't received it, and I hope to leave as soon as possible, you must know that because of Your Excellency's stubbornness, there has been unhappiness between us and our allies." Luo Aiguia, who was leaning against the emperor behind him, with a hint of condescending arrogance at the corner of his mouth, saw him come to Pasnavi aggressively, took out a golden order and handed it over, the cowhide boots stopped fiercely, the rain splashed everywhere, and his back was straighter than before, as if telling the old man in front of him that your time has passed, and if you are interested, let him take it honestly, "I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to take such care of me, and personally sign the order." It's an honor!" Pasnavi swept his eyes over the gorgeous order in front of him, and skimmed the corners of his mouth with a bit of self-deprecation, he didn't take the order in front of him, and he didn't say whether it was carried out, but his eyes flowed with deep disappointment, he was probably the first general in the history of the Istanbul Empire to be signed by the emperor to give up his country, "Are you ready to disobey?"

Roaijia's face turned hideous, and the hands of several Praetorian Guard officers behind him were on the hilt of his sword. As long as Roegia gives an order, the officer will rush forward, and the old man should honestly squat in front of the fireplace to keep warm, and he has to stand in the wind and rain to do something! Not to mention that such a wind and rain is not something that you can stop as an old fellow, and if you are interested, you will carry out the emperor's orders, and the emperor will also remember the old man's old feelings, so he will naturally arrange a position for the elderly, which is not interesting. Then don't blame the emperor for being ruthless, the 17th Legion is still the 17th Legion of Istanbul after all, not your Pasnawi's private legion, and the current Kyoto is no longer a toy that you military bigwigs were at your disposal some time ago. In today's Kyoto, there are 100,000 troops of the Six Kingdoms, 80,000 fierce soldiers who have been tempered by rebellion, and even the army of the Eastern Province of the Falcon Empire has been defeated. Does the 17th Army Corps, which is sandwiched between Kyoto and the Six Southern Kingdoms, dare to turn its face! "Protect Lord Pasnawi"

The generals of the 17th Army Corps unanimously stood up, as a real elite in the army, how could they endure this so-called self-righteous newcomer after a few battles. I really thought that after a few small counterinsurgency battles, I would be able to show my majesty in front of the real southern elite army, what the hell, when Lao Tzu was fighting with hundreds of thousands of enemies in the south, you were still wearing open crotch pants, the rebels added up to seventy or eighty thousand people before and after, and they were stunned to overwhelm the Kyoto side, if it weren't for the face of the new emperor, you would be able to enter the province of Vera alive to be called hell, "Lord Pasnavi, do we still need to tolerate these villains who betray the country and seek glory! A general of the legion shouted with a sad and angry expression, the footsteps rumbled, and the legionnaires around him rushed towards this side like a tide, the cold light of the bayonet spear was even colder in the rain, and the murderous aura of the saber rattling seemed to have frozen signs even in the rain: "What do you want to do! Do you want to rebel!"

Roaijia's eyes trembled, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he didn't expect Pasnavi to have such prestige in the Seventeenth Legion, these generals did not hesitate to turn their faces with the center, but also to maintain this old guy who was obviously about to lose power, after all, this is the headquarters of the Seventeenth Legion, it is impossible to say that there is no weakness in the heart, so Roaijia has to put on a very strong posture at the beginning, hoping to suppress the unruly Seventeenth Legion from the momentum, you must know that the Seventeenth Legion is the real elite of the empire, not the kind of motley army, it is the ace army that has been fighting with the south for decades, even during the Armageddon between the Istan Empire and the Kingdom of Feshan, the previous emperor did not have the slightest intention of transferring the 17th Army Corps, because the previous emperor knew that the 17th Army was there, and the southern part of Istanbul could be as stable as a mountain, and because of this, the 17th Army was there, and the secret agreement between Kyoto and the Six Nations could not be implemented, so the situation that Kyoto had just been strengthened in front of it would come to naught.

"Kill them, it's a big deal that we won't do it, such a soldier is a nest in front of him!" The soldiers of the Seventeenth Legion are all locals of Vera, I don't know who spread the news of the central cession of Vera, there is already excitement all around, countless weapons are raised, bows and arrows have pulled the bowstring, and even two catapults have been pushed in, and the faces of the Praetorian Guards are all white, and there are only about twenty Emperor Praetorian Guards who came with them, and now they are all shrunk into a small circle, holding weapons, trembling, there are too many Seventeenth Legion soldiers outside, and the encirclement of hundreds of people, they are like a small reef surrounded by a huge wave, which may be drowned by a wave at any time

The generals of the Seventeenth Legion looked at Pasnavi, and with a slight nod of their heads, they had their soldiers rush forward and chop all these bastards from the center into minced meat

has been killed on the border for decades, as the ace army in the imperial border army, the blood is not ordinary, otherwise it is impossible to suppress the covetous ambitions of the southern countries,

Originally, the border army still had illusions about the central government, but looking at the things that Kyoto had done since the fiasco of Fei Shan, his heart was cold, for the emperor's throne, he abandoned the soldiers who fought in Fei Shan, and did not ask, but instead wantonly borrowed money from the surrounding countries, highly squeezed regional taxes, and added 43 new tax items within a month, which directly led to the opposition between the region and the central government, exploited the military food supply of the border army, forced the border army factions to bow to the central government, and fought externally, even a semi-miscellaneous rebel army could not deal with it**The center of the empire, how can it be possible to convince the border army of the empire,

In the eyes of those Kyoto factions, as long as the central government can grow, the interests of the regions are not considered at all, and the local army and the border army are all objects that can be bullied, and the abandonment of the six southern provinces this time is actually to fundamentally cut off the roots of the six most powerful military groups of different sizes in the south, and the central government can also take this opportunity to take back the military power of these six regions, and only with the army can the central government have the confidence to formulate new rules and take back all the powers scattered in the localities, so that the central government can truly become the central government, not a castle in the air, which will collapse at the slightest touch, if it is not so, why use the hands of the six coalition forces to facilitate this matter, since the first step has been taken, you can only continue to move forward, and the result of stopping halfway is a collapsed situation, the six countries will withdraw their troops, and the local rebels will rise again

"Lord Pasnavi" The generals of the Seventeenth Army looked at the white-haired Pasnavi again, the arrow was already on the string, is there still room for hesitation, at this time, a fast horse galloped into the iron gate of the headquarters of the Seventeenth Army, and a herald cavalry jumped down from his horse and shouted: "Urgent, Kyoto is in chaos" "Kyoto is in chaos?" Pasnavi frowned, "What's the situation!" The soldiers and generals who were shouting all around also fell silent with stunned expressions, only to see the herald cavalry rush through the crowd, come to Pasnavi and say, "Kyoto is in chaos, the alliance of the six countries has surrounded Kyoto, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is back!" "What, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is back!" Pasnavi was stunned, and the others were also stunned, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has been missing since the fiasco of Fei Shan, and most people already thought that he was dead, but they didn't expect it to appear at this time, and it seems that the troops sent by the Six Kingdoms are simply a cover for the Great Prince to return to Beijing!
