- Chapter 568 [Roland people! ¡¿
"Attention, make sure the ropes are tight!"
"Damn it, did the Logistics Department just send these people to move people?"
"Okay, stop scolding. There is a war going on now. I heard that Mulan City has been besieged for several days, and all the able-bodied men have been drafted to the front line."
"Is the situation that bad? Why did those prairie barbarians suddenly become so powerful?"
"Shh, keep your voice down and move quickly."
This is the upstream dock of the Lancang Canal. If you continue westward after passing here, the river will become narrower and more rapid, and it will enter the mountainous area and there will be no value for water transportation.
The geographical location of this dock is located at the very edge of the northwest region of the Roland Empire, less than a few dozen miles away from Cold Spring Pass.
After passing Lengquan Pass, you have entered the border of Nulin Province.
Nowadays, it is relatively peaceful here, mainly because the military defense line established by Panin, the new Duke of the Empire, in Nulin Province has not been broken through by the grassland people. The grassland people besieged the important military defense line composed of several cities. Panin Still firmly blocking the prairie people in front of him.
Several ships have already docked, and all the docks here have been requisitioned by the army - in fact, civilian merchant ships basically don't come here anymore.
Lanlan hid in a tung oil barrel and was carried off the ship by the military civilians who came aboard. She heard the messy conversations outside along the way, but she just carefully held her breath.
On the shore, the materials have been temporarily piled up in the warehouse - it is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually a temporary shed. It is good to be able to protect it from wind and rain.
Not far from these supplies, Gu Le was taking his people off the ship. The interior minister stretched first, and then quickly led the people away from the dock. They took out the token of the inner guard and easily recruited some horses from the military quarters on the dock.
When Boggins, the officer responsible for escorting the military supplies this time, saw Gu Le and others leaving, he finally let go of his hanging heart.
He quickly ran to the warehouse, looked at no one around, and called in a low voice: "Hello? Are you still there? They have left! Come out quickly!"
Perkins shouted several times, but received no response. He searched carefully and found a tung oil barrel leaning to the side empty!
Could it be that you have already left?
Perkins wiped the cold sweat and secretly swore in his heart that he would never accept this kind of commission again. The little money he earned was really unnecessary.
¡¡
Lanlan took advantage of the chaos to leave the dock. It happened that some peasant women were bringing meals to the peasants at the dock, so Lanlan blended into the crowd of peasant women and then left quietly.
The clothes she was wearing were purposely worn, and she had not washed them for many days. Her hair was unkempt, but it was not eye-catching.
After leaving the dock, Lan Lan quickly found out the way from a group of peasants. After that, she spent more than a dozen copper coins to buy some dry food from a peasant and headed northwest.
¡¡
Cold Spring Pass has begun to be transformed.
A battalion of infantry temporarily transferred from elsewhere is stationed here.
The temporary military camp is stationed east of the broken earth wall of Lengquan Pass. In addition, there are more than three thousand civilians working here.
Their task is to smooth the road along this route and ensure as much as possible a transportation and supply line to the northwest.
And Lanlan heard another amazing news here.
This news is said to have been confirmed to be true by people in the army. And when this news spread in the place closest to the front line, it unexpectedly inspired the somewhat confused military morale and people's hearts.
The news is:
The Tulip family has sent out troops!
The official information is not very accurate. After all, during the war, a lot of information may be out of date.
But this news seems to be taken very seriously by everyone.
It is said that just the day before yesterday, the day before Lanlan disembarked, the Tulip family's army had already deployed.
The original 2nd and 3rd Infantry Regiments of the Tulip Home Army were mixed into an infantry division and headed to the border between the Tulip Home and Nulin Province.
As for the purpose of sending troops of course no one would think that the Tulip family's army was to deal with Panin. Although many people in the northwest vaguely understood that the Tulip family seemed to have some conflicts with the emperor in the imperial capital, but as everyone thought, their familyAfter all, it was my own family. Since the Tulip family sent troops, they must have gone to attack those prairie barbarians.
Although it is a temporary mixed infantry division with only two regiments and even less than 10,000 troops, compared to the hundreds of thousands of grassland people's cavalry, these people seem a bit pitiful.
But no matter what, the Tulip family finally sent out troops. This is the best news!
¡¡
When Gu Le arrived at Mulan City, the outer areas of Mulan City had turned into patches of scorched earth.
Wherever the prairie people¡¯s iron hooves went, villages and towns were turned into ruins. Panin also implemented a strategy similar to that of the Tulip family, which was to fortify the wall and clear the country. However, it seemed that it was too sudden and because Panin took over Nulin Province for a short period of time, which was not as strong as the Tulip family's control, and the execution was not enough to evacuate.
Wherever Gu Le went along the way, in the villages, towns and wild fields, he would occasionally see some corpses and dead bones. Judging from their clothing, they were all Roland people.
These discoveries made the soldiers accompanying Gu Le fall into silence.
About thirty miles outside Mulan City, Gu Le led people up a hillside and could see the densely packed tents in the distance.
"These damn prairie barbarians, those tents are like piles of excrement pulled on the wild ground!"
When Gu Le heard someone among the entourage muttering, he sighed softly.
"Sir, how do we enter Mulan City? It looks like the prairie people have surrounded Mulan City. It may be difficult for us, a small number of people, to break through the prairie people's camp"
This was said somewhat euphemistically.
With just a few dozen riders here, if you want to break through the grassland people¡¯s camp it can be said that it is impossible! What the grassland people are best at is riding and shooting. If you want to charge into the battle with dozens of cavalry Saint-level masters may be able to do it, but Gu Le has no such ability. As for these people under him, they will definitely die.
¡°I¡¯m afraid very few people would be willing to do it even if they knew it was a matter of death.
Gu Le glanced at the man who was speaking, and suddenly smiled: "Who said we want to enter Mulan City?"
"Huh? Sir?"
After hearing Gu Le¡¯s words, the officers and soldiers surrounding him were stunned.
After receiving the order from the imperial capital to rush to the northwest, Gu Le did not tell his subordinates about the mission to the northwest, and because of strict discipline, no one would ask - the rules of the internal guards, as long as the orders are carried out.
But everyone generally has a consensus. This time when we come to the northwest, we should go to Mulan City to meet General Panin, the largest military commander in the northwest. As for what mission it is to perform, what will the commander say then, and how can everyone alright.
But now, when they arrived outside Mulan City, Master Gu Le suddenly said, isn¡¯t Mulan City important?
Don¡¯t you want to enter Mulan City? So what are you doing in the northwest?
Going to Tulip¡¯s house? Don't be kidding, the Tulip family has broken with the emperor. Ordinary people don't know this, but the inner guards know it clearly. The situation in the northwest this time is that the Tulip family has lured the wolf into the house. What are you doing at Tulip's house at this time?
So where to go? Going to the northwest fortress? Well, that Darling Chen was granted the title of Baron of Luowa City But, what is there to see about that guy? What role can the thousands of troops he has in his hands play in such a war?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of this, what is the use of internal guards like myself in the northwest?
Gu Le looked at the confused eyes of his men and said calmly: "Gather everyone together, I have something to say."
People quickly gathered on the hillside, and even the people on guard not far away were called over.
Gu Le glanced at his subordinates with very calm eyes. It can be said that these are his most elite and most confidant team among the internal defenders. They are the most capable group of elites he has cultivated in more than a year since he took over as Home Secretary. Many people were even the confidants that Gu Le had been secretly cultivating during the years when Shiloh was dormant.
He can call everyone¡¯s name, everyone¡¯s resume, everyone¡¯s strengths, weaknesses, and even everyone¡¯s hobbies
"Now, everyone, listen up, I have something to announce."
"Our mission in the northwest this time is to go to the Prairie King's army and ask for an audience with the Prairie King as the special envoy of Emperor Roland Empire."
¡°I bring with me the letter of credence written by His Majesty the Emperor and my willingness to cease war. The letter of credence contains some concessions made by His Majesty the Emperor to the grassland people, as well as a compromise strategy.¡±
Everyone was shocked!
The majestic Emperor Roland??, you actually want to bow to the prairie barbarians?
"grown ups!!"
Gu Le¡¯s adjutant was the first to cry out.
Gu Le waved his hand to him and said coldly: "Listen to me first!"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
"You are all internal guards. It stands to reason that you are the ones who know the most clearly about various news and situations. Don't you know those situations that ordinary people don't know? Nowadays, the Tulip Family is almost tantamount to treason, plus With the invasion of the Upper Prairie people, it is impossible for the empire to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time. General Panin is also working very hard to support the northwest. Now the Tulip family has sent troops. We already learned this news on the way. But we haven¡¯t received any news about the battle between the Tulip family and the prairie army. I think everyone can guess what this means."
No one said anything!
"I personally do not agree with asking for peace." Gu Le finally sighed. A sickly blush appeared on his pale face, and he coughed lightly: "As a subject of the Roland Empire, my life has long been lost." It belongs to me. So His Majesty, the secret order given to me is to find a way to reach an armistice agreement with the grassland people and grant me full authority. Even if necessary, I have the right to sign a contract with the grassland people as your majesty's plenipotentiary representative. .
Our task is to sue for peace and sign the armistice agreement successfully, then we can return to the imperial capital to report on our duties
¡¡but! ! ! ! "
At the end of the sentence, Gu Le suddenly raised his voice.
His eyes darkened, and he said word by word: "We have also prepared a backup plan, and this plan is also approved by His Majesty. The backup plan is that if the request for peace and truce is rejected by the Prairie King then, in order to restore the situation, In a critical situation, we will carry out an extremely dangerous, even fatal mission."
Gu Le took a long breath and glanced at all the internal guards with his gloomy eyes: "At the negotiating table, assassinate the Prairie King!! Prairie people are tribal. Once the Prairie King is killed, they will definitely fall into civil strife! Then the pressure on General Panin in the northwest will be greatly reduced! The grassland tribe without the grassland king is a piece of loose sand! But I don¡¯t think you need to explain the degree of danger of carrying out this mission. You all know it well.
In the large tent of the King's Court of the Prairie People, not to mention that there must be expert guards around the Prairie King It is very difficult to succeed.
Even if we succeed and kill the Prairie King in the camp of more than 100,000 prairie troops, we will definitely not be able to escape alive!
In other words, if we implement this backup plan, regardless of success or failure, we will all die! "
When Gu Le said this, he paused deliberately and glanced at his subordinates one by one.
What made him happy was that although some people's eyes wavered for a moment, everyone's eyes soon became firm again!
The inner guards are the emperor¡¯s closest confidants, the most loyal direct descendants, and Gu Le¡¯s years of hard work in cultivating them.
"The above is our mission to the northwest this timeor rather, this is the official authorized mission I received. Next, I have a few more words to say to you, and this is just me. decision."
With Gu Le¡¯s tone changing, everyone¡¯s eyes became confused again.
"I am a subject loyal to Your Majesty. As an internal guard, I should be Your Majesty's most loyal minion, an eagle and a dog!" After Gu Le said this, he suddenly bit his lip hard, and he even bit his lip. Bite your lips and bleed:
"ButI am even more of a Roland!"
Everyone was shocked! !
The meaning of this sentence seems to have some deeper meaning!
"Every one of us has followed His Majesty Shiloh since he was dormant! We have endured for a long time, dormant in the dark, serving His Majesty, and we have survived even the most severe situations!
Because, I, we, each of us firmly believe that His Majesty Hilo is the best person to rule this empire. We believe that under his rule, this empire will move towards glory! The Roland people will become the overlords of this world, and the great Roland Empire will"
Speaking of this, Gu Le suddenly shed tears in his eyes.
"For this belief, I even stabbed to death His Majesty Malsi's only flesh and blood with my own sword! I am a sinner, and I clearly understand this in my heart. But it is this belief that has allowed me to support myself and complete this task. Everything! Your Majesty and I have only known each other for a long time, so I can only devote my life to serving him. I can only?Choose to believe that he will be the best and the best great monarch to rule this empire.
However, just many days ago, when I walked out of the palace one night, carrying in my arms this letter of credence signed by His Majesty and the warrant authorizing me to be the envoy for peace and truce That night, I walked out of the palace, returned home, and cried! "
Gu Le suddenly took out something wrapped in oilcloth from his arms. Obviously, it contained the credential for peace and truce.
"I am a Roland! A Roland!! Each of us is very clear about the meaning of this name! It represents glory, honor, pride, and dignity!! The Roland people, one hundred and forty years ago, faced the brutal orcs, The elves and dwarves never lowered their heads in the face of the invading army of millions of aliens!
The first Tulip Duke never sued for peace! His Highness the Regent Chen has never asked for peace! Empress Karina never asked for peace! Even His Majesty Charles, who is known as the foolish king has never asked for peace!
But now, facing the smelly prairie barbarians, we have to run to their dirty tents and lower our proud heads to those barbarians! !
On behalf of all Roland people, lower our heads! !
I, Gu Le, can¡¯t do it! ! "
Having said this, Gu Le suddenly exerted force with his hands, and after a silver ray of fighting spirit, the certificate of credence in his hand was torn to pieces by him! !
Everyone was stunned, and some people stared at their commander with their mouths open.
"I don't want to comment on His Majesty Shiloh's decision. Maybe at this time, His Majesty was forced to make such a compromise. Maybe this compromise decision is wise and the best choice in this harsh environment. I also Understand that if you endure temporary grievances, you can get them back in the future when you strengthen yourself
I understand all these principles!
I don¡¯t blame His Majesty Hilo for making such a decision.
but!
I, Gu Le, still can¡¯t do it! !
I still can¡¯t do it. I go with my credentials and, on behalf of all the Roland people, on behalf of all the noble Roland people, I bow my head to those prairie barbarians and ask for peace! !
My honor, the honor of being a Roland, does not allow me to do this! !
Therefore, I personally decided I will not carry out His Majesty Hilo's first mission, but
Directly implement Article 2!
Assassination, Prairie King! "
Everyone stared at Gu Le with surprised eyes.
Gu Le's voice was still so cold: "The negotiation for peace and truce will be used as a cover! In other words, regardless of whether the Prairie King agrees to the truce or not, I will carry out the assassination plan! This is my decision as a Roland! !¡±
Having said this, Gu Le was silent for a while, and his eyes swept across the audience: "Now, I give you all a choice. If you are willing to follow me to carry out this fatal mission, take a step forward! If you have any objections to my decision Those who choose to stay put, just stand where they are - I will never blame him! Those who choose to stay put can wait for my news here, and then, when we go to the prairie people and do what we need to do, then please stay The person responsible for sending the news back to the imperial capital and reporting it to His Majesty the Emperor! Now, I will give you time to make a decision!"
Silence, long silence!
However, just two minutes later, maybe it was not uniform, maybe someone came first and someone came last
However, this group of elite internal guards all chose to take a step forward.
No one is standing still!
"Sir, we are also Roland people! We also have the dignity and pride of Roland people!"
The adjutant stared at Gu Le with red eyes and gritted his teeth and said fiercely. r1152 - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
