The battle of the Furnas Lake changed the situation of the entire Gallic Kyoto, the fat man's original intention was to break into the Furnas Lake area through Guò to put pressure on the Gallic Kyoto, forcing the Gauls to transfer back the reinforcements that had been sent to the north, but the result received the next day was the result of the battle caused by the high-level change of the Gallic side, the Gallic general Yard, who had always been a good Gallic general, was replaced by a man named Derek, and gently put the information in his hand on the table in the camp tent, and the fat man leaned towards the campfire on the other side, and asked Hukochili who sent the information"Who is this Derek? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It's the Gallic Kyoto's Vice-Minister of Military Affairs who was just appointed this month!" Hukochili replied as he patted the snow off his body and walked towards the fire, looking a little disdainful. It is said that he once fought in the eastern part of Gaul, but he did not have any reputation, if it is worth boasting about, it is a dazzling seniority, I have investigated, he once held sixteen positions in the army, logistics, intelligence, garrison troops, and even spent in the ceremonial team, it took more than 20 years to finally survive into the Gallic Military Department, which was already ready to retire after three years, there is no possibility of a future, but I don't know why, at the beginning of this month, some of the wealthy families in Gallic Kyoto suddenly went against the norm, and jointly pushed this person to the position of deputy minister of military affairsNow I'm playing like this again, it's really incomprehensible."

Hukochili paused, his deep eyebrows frowned slightly, and he shook his head in confusion, "It's too incomprehensible, to push such a guy who has never had real combat experience and even lacks appeal to such an important position as the head of the Kyoto defense line, is the preparation of the Kyoto giants to make a move against Yalde, who has long been unpleasant to their eyes, or has another deep meaning."

"To be honest, I can't see through it," the fat man said with a helpless wry smile in front of the fire, "Because I haven't done a special investigation on this person, now I'm confused, and the other party's sudden change of generals this time has played a very good role." That is, nearly 50,000 people of the Imperial Central Army that allowed us to break into the area of Lake Furnas temporarily stopped marching, the weather here is too bad, fortunately, there are large forests on the shore of the lake nearby, and our army can still make a fire to hold on, but if the time exceeds ten days, it will be difficult to say,

The fat man said worriedly that some of the squadrons were already reacting to the frostbite of the soldiers, and it seemed that this assault had completely disrupted their deployment, and that the entire defensive line had an accident with Yard, and now it must be a mess. I'm afraid it won't calm down in ten days!"

"What about Sallon, is there any reply to his situation?" asked the fat man

"Salon's legion has temporarily stopped at a position 110 miles away from the northern town of Antura, and from the news that has come back, the Gauls have indeed secretly mobilized heavy troops in the direction of Antura, and at present, the Gallic army in front of Salon's army has exceeded 80,000 men, and there are some local Gallic troops gathering towards Antura! If we are beaten back by the Gauls, our army may fall into a wolf bèi that is caught between two sides!"

"Caught on both sides?"

The fat man picked up a thin branch next to the fire and scratched it a few times on the white ash of the fire that had been burning all night. As if thinking of something, he rubbed his cold hands, suddenly raised his head and said to Hukochili, "Gallic Kyoto must be in chaos now, and their defense line should be trying their best to block our army from approaching Gallic Kyoto." And the goal of the northern army of Gaul is to block Salon, if our army turns around, cut off the rear of the northern army of Gaul with a sword, and join forces with Salon to eat all the troops of the Gauls in the north. That's when the situation will be completely reversed!"

"The whole army is marching north, what about our army's wall rock fort?"

Hukochili's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that the success of this plan was so great that the Gauls' army in the north would not expect the enemy to come up from behind. However, if the troops of the Kyoto side advance north, it means that the fortress of Walls, which is known as the gateway to Kyoto, will face all the pressure from the Gallic Kyoto side.

"Sue me, with your month-long experience of fighting the Gallic Kyoto side, if the Rock Castle falls into the hands of the Gauls, will they use it as a base to launch a counterattack?" asked the fat man with a sneer on the corner of his mouth

"No!" Hukochili hesitated for a moment, shook his head in thought, and said affirmatively, "Because they don't have enough troops and adequate preparation to counterattack, not to mention that the other armies of the empire are advancing in the direction of Gaul Kyoto, but if the north falls, the only choice for the Gauls to avoid falling into internal and external difficulties is to take the initiative to abandon the wall rock fort like last time!"

"Haha, give up. The fat man stood up with a high-spirited face and licked his chapped lips, "What you said is too easy! "Well, Majesty means to say......" Hu Keqili was a little stunned when he heard this,

The fat man looked at the snowfall outside the tent, and asked in a slow tone, "If you had to choose a battlefield, would you choose Gallic Kyoto or Wallrock Fort?" I have been stationed at the Walls Rock Fort for more than a month, and the terrain there is clear even if I close my eyes, and the Gallic Kyoto Defense Line was built by Jarder for more than a month, using hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of laborers, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an iron wall, but the Wall Rock Fort is different, it is just an old fortress that has endured hundreds of years of wind and rain! But how can we be sure that the Gauls chose the Rock Castle instead of the strong Kyoto Defense Line?"

"Normally not, but now. That's why it is said that the sky is going to destroy Gaul......" The corner of the fat man's mouth smiled coldly, and he withdrew his gaze from outside the tent, "Don't forget, the head of the Kyoto defense line has been replaced, and he is no longer an experienced Yalde, but a rookie who doesn't have much actual combat experience,

It's not that he doesn't have the aura and record of Yalder who can overwhelm the generals, nor does he have a rock-solid belief and a famous general who resists the temptation of a qiē, this Drake came up from the newspaper, it should be an agent jointly launched by the Kyoto giants, because he is not famous, so it is easy to control, and his qualifications are long enough, so he can replace Yalde as the head of the Kyoto line, in fact, he is a person who can get it in addition to his qualifications. Xinding, who is nothing, so as long as there is an opportunity, in order to consolidate his position, in order to let those masters behind him support him more vigorously, this Drake must be extremely eager to get a victory that is enough to establish his reputation, that victory is the wall rock fort, that is the gateway to Kyoto, it is a strategic point that the Gauls dream of reconquest, and the new occupation of the wall rock fort does not have much effect strategically, but it is for the morale of the Gallic people who have been depressed for a long time. But it has an immeasurable effect!"

"Majesty is to say...... Take the initiative to send him the Wallrock Fort!" Hukochili's eyes lit up as he listened, and he interjected

He is also an experienced general, and he quickly figured out the fat man's intentions, and suddenly his whole body was boiling with excitement, or His Majesty was clever, he always thought about how to smash the extremely hard turtle shell of Gallic Kyoto, and His Majesty directly thought of hooking the other party out of the turtle shell and beheading him with a knife!

"How can it be said that it is a gift, the other party is obviously a super famous general that is rare in a century! There are 200,000 troops under his command. Our defenders are only two or three birds, we can't beat them, we don't run and wait for death!" the fat man shook his head, reached out and patted him on the shoulder with a bit of teasing.

The fat man didn't continue, but the smile on the corner of his mouth made a fierce general like Hu Keqili also have goosebumps, and he had to take it, he had been shocked too many times by the Falcon Majesty's plan not to lose money. This time it was the same, and a cold sweat broke out on Hukochili's forehead

At a time when Kyoto was in crisis and the whole people were depressed, suddenly there was such a big reversal. The Gauls will be overjoyed, counterattack and take the gateway to Kyoto at the Rock Fort, eliminating Lord Draco, who the Gauls have never dreamed of eliminating the danger of Kyoto, and at that time he must be recognized as a famous general who can turn the tide.

And this turned out to be the most terrifying part of His Majesty's plan,

As long as people have fame and self-thought, they will give birth to too much perseverance, and persistence is the greatest heart of a soldier, no matter what, they can't give up, fight to the death, most of the soldiers who die in battle, many famous generals last think of the moment before they die, is to persevere, victory may be in the next second

Hu Keqili is also a famous general who came from the rookie stage, and he was able to persevere in many cruel offensive and defensive battles, and what he upheld in his heart was the belief that he could not give up no matter what, if he put himself in the position of Drake, he suddenly changed from an unknown figure to a famous general who attracted the attention of all people, and then he ordered the abandonment of the wall rock fort without any entanglement, so that Gallic Kyoto once again faced the embarrassment of soldiers coming to the city, it is better to kill him."

The other party will inevitably mobilize all the troops in Kyoto to defend the wall rock fort with all their might! And then be blown to slag by the so-called invincible falcon army Thor, Hu Keqili is almost sure of this, amazing! What a terrible retreat into advance, a wall rock fort that does not have much value, replaced by 200,000 Gallic Kyoto troops, although it is a cold winter, Hu Keqili also feels sweaty cold, "Convey my order to all armies, the whole army rest for one day, prepare enough food and water for ten days, and march north tomorrow!" The fat man walked to the tent door and gave orders to the guards outside

In a gloomy interrogation room in Kyoto, Gaul, an inquisitor was reciting Yalde's crimes, including the unauthorized transfer of troops, improper command and heavy casualties among friendly troops, forcible collection of war materials, use of labor, apportionment of military expenses, and a series of other crimes.

"Do you have any objection to that?"

The inquisitor put down the indictment in his hand, which was a foot thick, and his voice echoed cold and mercilessly in the interrogation room, which was a secret room where no sunlight could be seen, and the thick stone walls were green from the perennial dampness, and all kinds of torture instruments hung on the walls.

Wearing a sackcloth prison uniform, Alder looked at the ceiling above his head with a numb expression, as if he hadn't heard what the inquisitor had been talking about for more than an hour.

He was still recalling what Nuyak Ore had told him when he left, "It's not that we want you to die, it's the whole of Gallic Kyoto that wants you to die! It's better to stay in a special cell in my Praetorian Guard Inspectorate than to take those killers who have already chosen and are waiting for you to go in some of the prisons where you are peeled and stripped of your bones, at least no one here wants your life! Even if you want your life to come in, you will be killed by us first! Here you are the safest!"

"Yalde, do you confess these crimes. If you admit it, put your name on it!"

The inquisitor impatiently reminded him that he had only come by order to shove the crime papers and pens in front of him, but in fact the result was the same whether he signed or not, and that the sinner Yard would be imprisoned for sixty years for a series of crimes, which was the first time that the verdict had always been the same in this interrogation room. Before the verdict is issued, the Inspectorate has the power to detain indefinitely, so in addition to the dead, there are people who are detained indefinitely, and these people may be guilty or innocent, just like according to the Inspectorate, time is also a way to test whether the other party is guilty or not

"Sixty years ...... crime"

Yar's numb eyes swept over the scroll on the table, his pupils constricted slightly, and the crimes recorded on it left him speechless. The verdict is even more speechless, he is already in his forties this year, and the verdict of sixty years, does the other party want to lock him up until he is 100 years old?

He took a closer look at the alleged crimes, all of which were witness testimonies given by the nobles of Kyoto,

In August, hundreds of thousands of refugees who had fled to Kyoto were mobilized to build the outer defensive line of Kyoto, and as the treasury was nearly depleted, Yard used the name of the Ministry of War to distribute the money among the noble imperial aristocracy. In mid-August, in order to exterminate the remnants of the 300,000 Slavs who had fled south, Yard mobilized nearly 200,000 men of the Gallic Northern Army to surround and intercept them, but the results were not effective. Instead, it was defeated by the northward march of the Salonian army in one fell swoop, with more than 20,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and the Salonian army took the opportunity to fully enter the northern part of the Gallic Empire, September ...... Take the initiative to abandon the wallrock fort. This was an extremely strict error of judgment, and the whole of Gallic Kyoto fell into panic and crisis...... At the end of the crime are written the opinions of colleagues in the Ministry of Military Affairs, without exception, "guilty"

"Damn. These bastards!" Yalde cursed in a low voice,

"Let's sign, I'm very short on time, I still have to go to a dinner party, I don't have much time to spend here with you!" The inquisitor said viciously again, Yald's face was surprisingly calm, and his hand trembled slightly and picked up the pen on the table, he has been in the army for decades, he has been on the battlefield that he doesn't know if he can survive, he has killed enemies who he can't even believe it, and he has picked up the sharpest sword, and he is not so heavy at this moment, the tip of the pen squatted heavily in the position of the signature, took a deep breath, and did it in one go!

Snow drifts outside the window. There was a cruel chill in the wind.

The silent and narrow alley where the Praetorian Guard Inspectorate was located was covered with a thick layer of snow, the old eaves were covered with white, there were white ice cubes hanging upside down, a narrow window closed to block the invasion of the wind and snow, three umbrellas were stretched open in the wind and snow, and the snow flakes fell on the umbrellas with a soft crackling sound, and two Praetorian Guard officers stood there, in front of them Nuyakore, a straight military uniform, standing in the snow, "My lord, Yald really refused!" The inquisitor walked up from the exit of the tunnel with an ugly face, and handed the scroll with the signature of Yald in his hand to Nuyakore, where he should have signed, and where he should have signed, Nuyakore saw that it was written "Those who serve the country are not guilty!" "It's too arrogant, does he think this is his legion's headquarters? My lord, let's be executed, I said a long time ago that arrogant soldiers like him don't need a whip to tell them that their bones can be cracked, they will not choose to give in!" A Praetorian Guard officer standing in Nuyakore took it, angrily threw the scroll on the ground, and stomped on the "Ryke" with his foot

Nuyakore glanced at the thunderous officer and said in a cold voice, "If Yald, who fought 100,000 Snards with 30,000 troops in a difficult time for the Empire, is a soft bone, then what are those of us who stay in Kyoto? I don't want to hear such remarks, after all, he is the one who once saved the whole country."

"What if he saved the country, that was his previous behavior, and now he is already a serious crime!"

The Praetorian Guard officer looked angry and said, "My lord, you have spent so much money to finally get the wealthy families to agree to a compromise, if we don't get Yard's confession now, we will be the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto!"

"Let's take a look at the custody first, in fact, the confession is just a cheap cloth!" Nuyakore picked up the pen disapprenosingly, signed the "Yard" on another confession drafted as a backup, and then handed it to the interrogator and said, "Okay, send it to the Ministry of War, don't they just want a valid reason for Yard to step down?" Now that they are satisfied, remember to send it to both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, these flies, why haven't they drowned in this snow!"

"My lord, what about our exchange agreement with the wealthy family......" The inquisitor asked hesitantly

"Just as effective, I'll release those who are detained on the list!"

Nuyakoreo nodded, the Praetorian Guard Supervision Department, as a special review department, has imprisoned more than 100 children of wealthy families over the years, on various charges, such as espionage, collaborating with the enemy, selling intelligence, fornicating with the boss's wife, etc.,

As a condition for Yalde to live, Nuyakore agreed to exchange these people, and according to the opinions of the wealthy families, Yalde could not appear in his lifetime, so the sentence was sixty years, and no one would think that in the harsh conditions of prison, Yalde could last too long, (to be continued......
