196: Seleucus's plan

After listening to the regent's explanation, Seleucus looked at the map and was silent for a while, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this jihua is difficult to do!"

Perdiccas was not angry at being denied by his subordinates, he sighed and said, "Even so, we really need a strong counterattack to delay the enemy's offensive, I wonder if Aiqing has any other good suggestions?"

Antignis, who stood behind the Regent, had been silent since Seleucus appeared, and he thought that he would be able to take advantage of the disappearance of the head of the internal guard to show himself vigorously and gain trust, but he did not expect Seleucus to reappear so soon. And Perdiccas still relied on him, and immediately entrusted the most critical tasks to the other party.

Antizhenis was not angry in his heart, and when he saw that the commander of the internal guard seemed to be retreating, he immediately interjected: "Hehe, General Seleucus has just recovered, and it is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man to carry out this task. Your Highness might as well let him rest for two more days, as for this operation, I will leave it to the last general, I promise to go all out and not disappoint His Highness's expectations!"

Perdiccas turned his head to look at the general of the Silver Shield Infantry Regiment, his expression seemed a little loose, and he was about to say yes. However, Seleucus glanced at Antiochnys, but said casually: "I think the best way is to capture the thief and capture the king first!"

When the regent heard this, he immediately became interested, so he no longer paid attention to Antijanis, and asked Seleucus with great interest, "Aiqing said this, should he have his own idea?"

The commander of the internal guard nodded and said, "I heard that the HRE Emperor Frederick II personally led troops into the city to supervise the battle in order to expand the results of the war. Now I am in the camp of the Chinese army. Marshal Wallenstein, in order to protect the emperor's safety, deployed a large number of troops around Apollo Square. Although they may have let their guard down because of the smooth progress of the past few days, their vigilance is still relatively tight. If we want to raid the opponent's camp and achieve certain results, we must have a large number of fighters involved in the operation. However, our dark passage near the square is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to move troops quickly, and if we delay a little, it is very likely that the enemy will discover it, and Zuihou will fall short. ”

With that, Seleucus looked at Perdiccas. After seeing that the other party was not displeased by this, he continued: "If this is the case, it is better to concentrate a small number of elite troops to kill from the secret passage. When the enemy is unable to react, he can go straight to the opponent's main tent as quickly as possible, and assassinate his emperor with a thunderous blow! In this way, even if the operation is not completely successful, it can still play a role in deterring the enemy's commander. Ordered them to shrink their army. Don't dare to continue to risk advancing!"

After hearing Seleucus's words, not only Perdiccas, but also Antignis agreed very much, this internal guard commander is really reasonable, which is admirable, no wonder His Royal Highness the Prince Regent always trusts him!

Perdiccas smiled and patted Seleucus's shoulder with satisfaction: "Aiqing's Jihua is very good, please take charge of this task!"

Seleucus thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency Ellens the Black Dragon is strong, if you can invite him to participate." It is not impossible to kill Frederick II in one fell swoop!"

The regent smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said, "I've already asked him." The guy was so busy looting for treasure that he didn't even bother. We don't have to count on him!"

The evening of the day.

The vast Apollo Square to the north of Pera is lined with numerous large tabernacles, and the nearby buildings have long since been destroyed and razed to the ground. The HRE army built a fortified fence around the square, built a large number of watchtowers and arrow towers, and guarded against the surprise attack of Pera's army, so as not to disturb Emperor Frederick II, who personally led the troops to suppress the battle.

At this moment, the Emperor of the HRE was sitting in his commander's tent in military uniform, celebrating with the generals of his various armies. The mood of the victories over the past few days was very high, and seeing that the city of Pera was just around the corner, Frederick II decided to hold a simple celebration in order to motivate them to take the entire city in the battle of tomorrow. All the generals who participated in this campaign, except for some who had patrol missions, attended the banquet tonight.

The atmosphere of the dinner was extremely enthusiastic, and the tension of the two-year siege was swept away. The big tent is brightly lit, the banquet is full of famous wine and delicacies, and the beautiful maids rarely seen in the war sing and dance lightly in the center, and the starry eyes and smile are refreshing. The more they drank, the more happy they became, and they boasted of their exploits in the war, believing that the enemy would be defeated no matter what, and that tomorrow's victory would be within reach.

Frederick II, who was full of ambition, was also amused by the praise of the generals, and no matter who came to persuade him to drink, he would see the bottom of the glass. At this moment, he is in a very good mood, under the personal command of his own soldiers, the once powerful Olympia Alliance has been defeated by the HRE army and can no longer fight back, and Pella, known as the city of glory of the gods, this strong fortress that has made his ancestors return many times, can only succumb under his own iron hooves!

Next, the HRE army will continue to move south under his command, sweeping across the entire Balkan continent until it reaches the Macrite Sea! And the current allies of Nicaea, those infidels who don't know what to do, will also succumb to their military might! The ignorant Bright Sky Holy See and the self-righteous pope of the Apennine continent in the southwest will all tremble under their unparalleled prestige!

In the trance of fine wine, Emperor Bixia seemed to see the figure of Alto the Great, the founder of the former empire, and even he seemed to be smiling at himself, proud of the great work he was about to accomplish. And the generals around him were also intoxicated with victory one by one, dreaming of paying homage to the prime minister. Only Marshal Wallenstein, the actual commander of the army, remained silent, and there was not much joy on his face, and when everyone came to toast, he only tasted it.

Soon after, even the elated Emperor noticed his abnormality, couldn't help but open his drunken hazy eyes, turned around and patted Wallenstein on the shoulder, opened his mouth a little effortfully and asked vaguely: "My marshal, what are you doing in a daze? Come on, let's have a drink!"
