2383 Wind through the corridor (3)
The world is vast, and the wind and rain in June swept through the entire eastern part of the Obaro continent. The scene in front of you was countless silent white rain lines that moistened objects. The rain lines hit the wooden roof of the carriage, and the beads of the tower fell on the hearts of the people in the carriage. A group of Istanese light cavalry wearing silver-edged armor guarded a carriage and slowly drove into the iron gate.
The horse's hooves rumbled into the rainy ground, splashing white water splashes. On the steps of the building, more than a dozen generals of the Istanese Empire stood on the steps, saw the carriages in the distance entering the gate, and saw the red and black cloaks of the Emperor's Guard tremble in the wind. The generals subconsciously looked at each other, feeling bitter in their hearts. If it were a month ago, Kyoto would not dare to do so, but the situation is completely different now.
Kyoto secretly signed a secret agreement with the six southern countries to cede six provinces and regions in exchange for the six countries to send troops to Istan. Kyoto, which was originally weak, was supported by nearly 100,000 six-nation coalition forces, and even more powerful as the invasion of the imperial eastern provinces in one fell swoop.
Among the areas involved in this secret agreement, there is the southern Viagra Province, which is stationed by the 17th Army. The Kyoto Military Affairs Department has issued three orders, requiring the 17th Army to evacuate from the 17th Army and hand over the Viagra province to Feize among the six southern countries. They were all ignored by the 17th Army. However, this time, the emperor's special envoy came in person. Even if he found another reason, the 17th Army would move, otherwise it would be a rebellion!
When has my Istan Empire fallen into such a situation? As an Istanish soldier, it is a shame to watch the country turn into mermaid meat!
The generals were filled with grief and anger, and their faces were pale. Their eyes fell from the carriage to the commander of the 17th Army, Pasnaway, who was standing in front. At this moment, the one who felt most distressed was Lord Pasnaway. He had experienced countless battles and was covered with seventeen scars on his body. He had experienced the most glorious period of the Istan Empire. His empire's pale hair was wet by the rain. His heavy black armor could no longer show a charming momentum when he walked around like in his prime. His straight figure was like a stout goshawk.
Lord Pasnavi, who is standing in front and sheltering the wind and rain in the southern part of the empire, is already old-fashioned, and the red cloak of the general cannot hide the back of the old man Ju Lou. In the white rainy world, lonely and desolate world, two of the three sons died in the southern part of the empire, which merged their souls into the mountains here. The only remaining one, with the former emperor on the expedition of Feishan, is still unknown now. I heard that the Falcon Empire once proposed an exchange proposal to release Istanese soldiers, but Kyoto has always been unenthusiastic. In the end, it was because of the protests of the people of Kyoto, Kyoto agreed to the exchange agreement. Even so, it was going on intermittently. It was obvious that if it was delayed, who would know how many years or decades it would take?
The Pass family, a famous general in the southern part of the empire. Even when Passneville's generation is at the end, Passneville was shot through his lungs by arrows when he was young, although he was cured. However, his cough became more and more serious when he was old. It was better during the day, but at night, he almost coughed all night. There was a problem with rest. Even if it was iron, his body could not be consumed. Moreover, this month, Passneville betrayed one-third of the southern part of Kyoto.
The land was in exchange for the six countries' military service. He was extremely angry and repeatedly scolded the new emperor as a prodigal son and was heartbroken. Several generations of Istanese emperors worked hard to expand the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Istanese soldiers were sent out by the new emperor. The southern countries did not dare to covet the slightest of coveting. Now, the soldiers easily won a province without bloodshed. This is a shame for soldiers and even more a shame for the country!
The evacuation from the southern province of Vera may be just a change to a garrison for other generals, but for Lord Pasnaway, it is a collapse of the credibility of the military that he has been persisting in for his whole life.
During the six southern wars of the Istanese Empire in the past century, the Viagra Province was the most important combat area and the area with the most severe losses. At least more than 500,000 young Viagra people died one after another on the southern battlefield. The most recent one was ten years ago. The former emperor of the Istanese Empire, Soladin I, and the Southern Four-Nation Alliance, was a 17th Legion composed of 50,000 children led by Pasnavi to withstand the most severe strangled Eastern Front. In the end, the emperor successfully forced the Southern Four-Nation to sign the famous Palass clause with the Istanish Empire, recognized the overlordship of the Istanish Empire in the east and gave up control of the Arensos region. Who would have thought that in the past ten years, the new emperor of the empire did not hesitate to spit out Arensos, known as the largest trade distribution center in the east, and even the Viagra Province was given to the six southern countries.
With a crisp "creaking", the carriage stopped in front, and the raindrops were like dark flowers blooming on the roof of the carport.
The generals were still hesitating whether to come forward to greet them. The people in the car couldn't wait to push open the car door, regardless of whether it was raining outside. They were known as one of the new emperor's most trusted confidants. Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Luo Aigeya walked down from above with a cold face, with an eagle-like eyes. After looking left and right, he walked directly towards this side, surrounded by several imperial guard officers wearing red and black cloaks. As a new military figure who made outstanding achievements in the fight against the rebels, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Feng Yun'er, who directly mentioned the position of deputy commander of the military affairs department, how could he take the old 17th Legion in front of him seriously? Moreover, he is still the emperor's special envoy's prominent identity.
His eyes fell on the white-haired Pasnaway, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly. "Mr. Pasnaway, this is an order signed by His Majesty the Emperor. This time, the Lord sent it personally. Don't say that it was not received. Also, I hope to set off as soon as possible. You must know that because of your stubbornness, we have begun to feel unhappy with our allies. "Lo Aegia, who leaned against the emperor behind her back, had a hint of condescending arrogance on the corner of her mouth. She came to Pasnaway aggressively and took out a golden pattern of orders and handed it over. The cowhide boots stopped hard, and the rain splashed everywhere, and her waist and back were straighter than before. It seemed to be telling the old man in front of her that your time has passed. If you are tactful, let me take it honestly.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would take care of me so much and sign the order in person. It's such an honor!" Pasnaway glanced over the gorgeous order in front of him, and he slapped his lips with a little self-deprecating look. He did not take the order in front of him, nor did he say whether it was executed. He just looked deep disappointed. He was probably the first general in the history of the Istan Empire to be signed by the emperor to give up his territory. "Are you ready to disobey?"
Luo Aijiya's face showed a ferocious look, and the hands of several guard officers behind him were held on the hilt of the sword. As long as Luo Aijiya gave an order, the officer would rush forward, and the old man should just squat in front of the fireplace to keep warm. What's the matter with standing in the wind and rain! What's more, such wind and rain are not something you can stop, but you, an old man, will execute the emperor's orders. The emperor will also read the old love for the elderly, and will naturally arrange a position for retirement, not ignorant.
Then don’t blame the emperor for being ruthless. The 17th Legion is still the 17th Legion of Istan, not your private legion of Pasnavi. Kyoto is no longer the toy that you military bosses had to trick you some time ago. Now Kyoto has an army of 100,000 six countries, and 80,000 fierce warriors that have been tempered by rebellion. Even the army of the Eastern Province of the Falcon Empire was defeated. Can the 17th Legion, sandwiched between Kyoto and the six southern countries, dare to turn against each other!
"Protect Lord Pasnaway"
The generals of the 17th Legion stood up at the same time. As a real elite army, how could they endure such a so-called newcomer who thought they were self-righteous after fighting a few battles? I really thought that after fighting a few small counter-rebellion battles, they could show their might in front of the real elite legion of the southern part. What a thing? When I was fighting with hundreds of thousands of enemies in the south, you were still wearing open-crotch pants. The rebels had a total of 70,000 to 80,000 people, which made Kyoto so angry that they ignored it. If it weren't for the sake of the new emperor, you would be a god to be able to enter the Vila Province alive.
"Mr. Pasnaway, do we still need to tolerate these villains who sell their country and seek honor! Come! "A general of the legion shouted in grief and anger, his footsteps rumbling, and the soldiers around him rushed towards this side like a tide. The cold light of the spear stabbing spear was even colder in the rain, and the tense murderous aura seemed to even show signs of solidification of the rain. "What do you want to do! Do you want to rebel!"
Luo Aegia's eyes trembled, and sweat beads appeared on his forehead. He didn't expect that Pasnavi had such prestige in the 17th Legion. These generals did not hesitate to turn against the central government and also wanted to maintain this old guy who was obviously losing power. After all, this is the headquarters of the 17th Legion. It is impossible to say that there is no weakness in his heart. Therefore, Luo Aegia had to act in a very strong posture from the beginning, hoping to suppress the unruly 17th Legion from its momentum. You must know that the 17th Legion can
It is a real elite of the empire, not a miscellaneous army, but a trump army that has fought with the south for decades. Even during the decisive battle between the Istan Empire and the Kingdom of Feshan, the former emperor did not intend to draw the 17th Legion at all. It was because the former emperor knew that the 17th Legion could be as stable as a mountain in the southern part of Istan. Because of this, the secret agreement between the 17th Legion and the six countries could not be implemented, and then the situation that had just grown in front of Kyoto would be shattered.
"Kill them, at worst we can stop doing it. Such soldiers are cowardly!" The soldiers of the 17th Legion were all natives of Vera. I don't know who had cedeed Vera out of the news. There were already crowds of people around. Countless weapons were raised, and the bows and arrows pulled the bowstrings, and even two catapults were pushed. The imperial guards all turned pale. There were only about twenty emperor guards who came with them. Now they were all shrunk into a small circle, holding weapons, trembling. There were too many soldiers of the 17th Legion outside, surrounded by hundreds of people, they were like a small reef surrounded by a huge wave, and could be flooded by a wave at any time.
The generals of the 17th Legion looked at Pasnaway. As long as Pasnaway nodded slightly, they asked the soldiers to rush up and chop all the bastards from the center into pieces.
After being killed on the border for decades, as the ace army among the imperial border troops, his bloodiness was extraordinary, otherwise it would not have been possible to suppress the coveted ambitions of the southern countries.
Originally, the border army still had fantasies about the central government, but looking at what Kyoto did since Feishan's defeat in the miserable defeat, I felt so sad. For the sake of the emperor's throne, the soldiers who abandoned Feishan's battles did not care about it, instead borrowed debts from the surrounding countries and highly exploited regional taxes. In one month, forty-three new tax items were added, which directly led to the opposition between the region and the central government, exploited the border army's military food supply, forced the border army factions to bow to the central government, and fought against the outside world. They could not even deal with a half-diverse rebel, but they were harsh and ruthless in their internal throne, and attacked the opponents with cruelty and ruthlessness. How could an empire center controlled by various self-interests?
In the eyes of those Kyoto factions, as long as the central government can grow, the interests of the region will not be considered at all. Local and border troops are both targets that can be bullied. This time, the abandonment of the six southern provinces is actually to fundamentally cut off the roots of the six most powerful military groups in the south. The central government can also take this opportunity to take back the military power of these six regions. Only with the army can the central government have the confidence to make new rules and take back all the power scattered in the local area, so that the central government can truly become the central government, not the castle in the air, and it will collapse with a slight touch. If not, why use the hands of the six coalition forces to promote this matter? Since the first step has been taken, we can only continue to move forward. The result of stopping in the middle is a collapse situation. The six nations withdraw their troops and the local rebels rise again.
"Master Pasnaway" The generals of the 17th Legion looked at the white-haired Pasnaway again. The arrow was already on the string. Is there any room for hesitation? At this moment, a fast horse ran into the iron gate of the headquarters of the 17th Legion. A cavalry jumped off the war horse and shouted: "Anti-report, Kyoto is in trouble." "The incident of Kyoto?" Pasnaway frowned. What's the situation!" The soldiers and generals shouting around also calmed down with surprise. The cavalry rushed over from the crowd and came to Pasnaway and said, "The Kyoto is in trouble. The six-nation coalition forces surrounded Kyoto. His Royal Highness is back!"
"What, Your Highness, Your Highness is back!" Pasnaway was stunned, and the others were also stunned. Your Highness, Your Highness, has been unknown since Fei Shan's defeat. Most people already thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, it appeared at this time. Moreover, it seemed that the six countries sent troops to the emperor was simply the cover for the eldest prince to return to Beijing! (To be continued...)
