Speaking of the assassination and death of Cavie Hill, Char immediately regained his energy and stared at Junker carefully, his ears pricked up. For nothing else, it's really that guy's death, full of too many doubts!
In other words, a person like Cavie Hill, even if his death was originally unquestionable, combined with his identity, it will always make people imagine.
Junker also felt the solemnity in Xia Ya's eyes, took a deep breath, and his face gradually became strange.
"...The matter of the teacher's assassination, actually..." His tone became more and more strange: "...Actually, it was arranged by the teacher himself."
really! ! !
If he hadn't already made mental preparations, Xiaya would have almost jumped up from the chair!
After hearing this sentence, Xi Ya immediately turned his head and looked around, looking at this small reception room, looking around for a long time, as if to find something, and as if Caviehir was secretly spying on him right now. generally.
Seeing Xia Ya's reaction, Junker and the girl both sighed secretly.
Junker then said solemnly: "The assassination was the teacher's plan, and it was handed over to me to arrange it." After a pause, he whispered: "On the day of the assassination, the route, time, and place of the teacher's carriage, They are all pre-determined. And the people responsible for the assassination are also the dead men I selected from the dark night forest."
When Xia Ya heard this, she frowned.
Assassinate Caviehir with the men of the Night Kings...
Seeing Xia Ya's frowning movement, Junker said with a wry smile: "There is no way to do this kind of arrangement. To make that scene real, we must use skilled elites, and at the same time be reliable enough to be willing to execute unconditionally. Order. In Osgilia City, such a person is really hard to find, and finally decided to use the people of the Night King to do this! The people of the Night King are all dead men, and they have never been to orders. It is executed without hesitation. No matter who the other party is, once the order is issued, there will be no delay! This matter, to put it bluntly, is not complicated. I am the leader of the dark night forest, and I falsely passed on an order from His Majesty the late emperor. , arranged a few elites to ambush the teacher on the road. Created that assassination incident."
It is quite suitable for the elites of the Night Royale to do this. These guys are dead soldiers who are only loyal to the emperor. Junker faked the emperor's order and ordered the assassination of Cavie Hill. Even if those who received the order had doubts in their hearts, But these dark night royal forests will definitely be executed without compromise.
"But, this way, wouldn't things be out of control?" Xia Ya said with a wry smile: "This is basically an act, but the killers in the Dark Night Royal Forest you arranged don't know this, they But it really did. Aren't you afraid that Cavie Hill was accidentally killed?"
After Junker listened to Xia Ya's words, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, his face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth: "At the beginning, this plan was made by the teacher, and I also raised this concern. I am worried about those killers in the dark night royal forest, It will really hurt the teacher. But the teacher only told me to let it go, I don't have to worry about this problem." He said this, and sighed: "What kind of a genius teacher is, I believed it at the time, and there was no more in my heart. I doubt it. Since what the teacher said is all right, it must be all right—that’s what I thought at the time. But… But I didn’t expect that the teacher lied to me.”
In the eyes of this middle-aged man, there is a deep taste of pain, his fists are clenched, his fingers are white, and his arms are trembling faintly.
When Xia Ya heard this, her heart sank, and she turned to look at the girl: "What does this... mean?"
The girl also gave a wry smile, but did not answer Xia Ya's question. Instead, she looked at Junker and pursed her lips before opening her mouth. Her voice was soft and gentle, with a touch of comfort: "Okay, Junker, This is also what the teacher means. You are just doing what the old man wants. The teacher knew from the beginning. If you knew the truth, I was afraid that you would not dare to do it, and you would hide it from you. Just imagine, if the teacher had completely Tell me, how dare you carry out this plan."
Junker's lips trembled, his face was pale, and he looked at the girl, but shook his head vigorously: "You may be right. But... But... I didn't think at all at the time, I... I actually killed the teacher like this! Teacher... It can be said that he died in my hands!!"
boom!
However, Xiaya heard this sentence really, without any ambiguity! His mind suddenly roared, and his mouth was dry, and for a while, he didn't know whether it was shock or absurdity.
died
Cavie Hill, actually... dead? Was Junker really killed? !
Before Xia Ya could speak, Junker was already sitting heavily on the chair, holding his head in his hands, grabbing his hair hard, his voice hoarse and trembling: "Teacher... The teacher died in my hands! I personally The order I gave, the plan was carried out! If, if..."
"Okay." The girl sighed, stood up, walked slowly to Junker's side, put a slender hand on Junker's shoulder, patted it lightly, and whispered, "I know you I have always felt guilt and self-blame in my heart. These days, you are under enough pressure and you have taken on enough. These things are not your fault, and you should not be responsible for them. You just remember Live, this is the teacher's own intention, it is the way he chooses to die for himself. Because the teacher believes that only this way of dying is the most valuable. Junker, you don't have to blame yourself. "
Junker's voice was already a little whimpering and choking. After listening to the girl's words, he shook his head gently, but his emotions still couldn't calm down.
The girl turned her head to look at Xia Ya, her eyes were still as calm as water, and she said softly, "Junker's mood is not stable, then let me explain the following things to you, Lord Xia Ya. "
Xia Ya was also at a loss. After listening to the girl's words, she just nodded subconsciously and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something.
"Teacher once told me before his death that the state of this empire is already rotten and out of control. Although he supported His Majesty Cantos to rule for half his life, he has been unable to reverse the situation, and is often cited by the teacher as a life-hate thing. It's just Cantos. Although His Majesty seems to trust him, in fact His Majesty is a stubborn person. He was energetic in his early years and acted vigorously. It is a pity that when He was young, His Majesty's foundation was not stable and he acted too cautiously. Later, after several encounters, His Majesty's age As I get older and my health is not as good as before, I become hesitant to move forward, and even look forward to the future. I was too aggressive in the early years, and indecisive later, but it went to two extremes, both of which are not desirable. It's a pity teacher Assisted by His Majesty's side, His Majesty has always been stubborn in these most critical matters, and is not willing to listen to the teacher's words. Moreover... The teacher also said that His Majesty, deep down in his heart, is also somewhat guarded against the teacher. "
The girl spoke in a eloquent manner, and when she said this, a mocking smile appeared on that pretty face: "This late emperor of our empire should keep a low profile when he was young and lay a solid foundation, but he has to act in a high-profile manner, too. Excessive manipulation has aroused the strong vigilance of the warlords and partisans, and the result is naturally elbows everywhere. Later, when you get older and have a foundation, you should let go and boldly innovate, but who knows that Your Majesty has hit a wall in his early years, He became too cautious. Such an emperor made the teacher helpless. No matter how wise and wise the teacher was, he was not an emperor after all and could not act on his behalf. As a result, the power of the empire became more and more corrupt, and the warlords The disaster is gradually getting out of hand, and the teacher has spent decades of hard work, so he can only limit it as much as possible."
Xia Ya nodded, thinking that what the girl said made some sense.
The girl continued: "Until Emperor Cantos got old, the late emperor saw that his body was really dying, and the state affairs were corrupt, becoming more and more serious, and it had reached the point of being out of control. The teacher later said to His Majesty that if he did not dare, he would only Afraid of this situation, it is really irreversible. His Majesty was seriously ill at that time, and there was not much time left. After the teacher tried to persuade him, he still dared not make up his mind. But he started to arrange the funeral and arranged the crown prince. Leaving the imperial capital, but leaving the Rodriguez Corps, this is also the teacher's suggestion. Although Your Majesty accepts it, but you can't make up your mind about the warlords. The teacher has no choice but to persecute His Majesty.
"Wait, what you said is too vague, why can't I understand it?" Xia Ya interrupted the other party and said loudly: "What is the funeral arrangement, what is the action against the warlord party, what is the ins and outs of this matter? "
The girl glanced at Xia Ya and frowned, then she sighed lowly, as if talking to herself: "Teacher, you gave me a very serious task, this guy is better than I imagined. more sluggish."
She shook her head and looked at Xia Ya with a mocking smile: "Okay, let me start with you from the beginning. Xia Ya... "
"The warlord party and the royal family have always regarded each other as mortal enemies. For a hundred years, this contradiction has been irreconcilable. The royal family is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but it occupies the nominal legality. The warlord party has strong strength, but it has always been Suffering from the lack of a legitimate name to confront the royal family, in order to deal with the royal family, the warlord party has always been deliberately restricting the royal family's development of its own strength, especially, limiting the royal family's control over the army."
"The central army of the empire is the direct line cultivated by the royal family. Its current position, the central standing army of the empire, has a total of thirteen regiments. However, some of these regiments have suffered heavy losses in previous wars. Some were rebuilt after the war, while others were simply revoked because of the severe damage."
"Char, when you joined the army, you were in the thirteenth corps of the Empire's Central Standing Army, that is, the Rodriguen Corps. At that time, the empire also had the second corps, the third corps, the sixth, the seventh, The ninth corps. There are a total of six corps armies, which are under the control of the imperial family. But the other corps, although nominally the first, fourth, and fifth... etc., but in fact, these armies no longer exist. Yes. Some had their designations revoked after they were lost in previous wars, while others were taken over by the local Tema military region after being controlled by the warlords. So, during the last war with the Odins, it was you. When Char first joined the army, the Empire's Central Army actually had thirteen corps in name, but in reality there were only six corps."
"The central standing army of the six corps is regarded as the sphere of influence of the royal family, and it is also the place where the royal family trains and reuses eagle generals. The equipment of the central army is armed by the royal family with a lot of financial income, and it is also the royal family's peace of mind. The capital that the warlords can compete with is naturally very important. But on the other hand, it is the thorn in the eyes of the warlords!”
"At any time, when you control the army, you have enough capital to speak! Everyone understands this truth. The warlords naturally refuse to sit by and watch the royal family control too many troops, because that will threaten their status. But Nominally, the emperor is the honor of a country, and the warlord party cannot openly organize the emperor to control the Central Army, so it can only deal with the royal family from other aspects. For example, control the investment of military expenditure. At that time, El Salvador was still the Minister of Military Affairs, reducing the military expenditure of the Central Army, It's just a means. In addition, there are other means of infiltration, attracting and so on. When you enlisted in the army, there were only six of the thirteen central corps in the empire. But even so, the warlord party is still uneasy, in addition to using all kinds of means, they have another big killer move to weaken the royal eagle army!"
When the girl said this, she glanced at Xia Ya, and said lightly: "If you want to greatly weaken the army, what is more effective than fighting a war? Start a war, and once a war is fought, it will be a sea of corpses and blood! It will cost countless lives. , money and grain, kill one thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. After a battle, the army always loses a lot. Of course, the warlord party at that time did not openly rebel, and it was impossible for them to send troops to fight the central army. The method is very simple to say: secretly collude with the Odins, promise some benefits, and lure wolves into the house! Invite the Odins to invade, start a foreign war, and then... use this to deplete the strength of the Central Army."
"For the royal family, this is a very contradictory situation. On the one hand, when the Odins invade, the emperor, as the ruler of a country, is obliged to order the army to resist, because one of the biggest reliances of the royal family is the name of righteousness. If a foreign enemy invades and the emperor does not order to resist, then you will lose people's hearts, and even lose your righteousness! So you have to fight! On the other hand, the Tema military area is not on the border, the northern border, More County , Nods County and other places are all areas under the control of the royal family. Once the Odins invade, the first thing that will bear the brunt of the damage to the areas under the control of the royal family! This situation forces the royal family to order their own troops to send troops to resist. And the Tema military area Those warlords in the monarchy sit on the mountain and watch the fight. Therefore, every war with the Odins in the past is actually a damage to the army controlled by the royal family. After a battle, whether it is won or lost, the Central Army will be weakened.”
"I can tell you clearly that the last war you experienced last year when the Odins invaded, the battle of the Albact Plain, the battle with the Odins on the Wildfire Plain, was actually controlled by the warlords. , We have evidence to show that there was an inside story of collusion between the warlords and the Odins in that war. At that time, the Odins invaded, and the warlords controlled the military headquarters, deducting military expenses and supplies, forcing the Central Army to set up a temporary temporary in the north. In the war zone, we controlled the logistics ourselves to avoid the warlords' manipulation. But after the war, we fought very tightly, and the Odins drove straight in, but they seemed to know all the situation of our garrison and defense, including the ghosts of the warlords. "
After saying this, the girl glanced at Xia Ya with a disdainful tone: "Do you understand?"
"...Understood." Xiaya gritted her teeth fiercely.
"Okay, then let's talk about the teacher." The girl said lightly: "The teacher's plan, to make it clearer, is to force the warlords to rebel! This is a big gamble! According to the teacher's calculation, the joints are one link. One link is indispensable! He first encouraged His Majesty the late emperor to make up his mind, and then suggested that His Majesty send the crown prince to the imperial capital to protect him in the Rodriguen Corps. This move will arouse the vigilance of the warlords! Sending the crown prince to the imperial capital, It will make Salvador and others vigilant, thinking that the royal family will make some big moves. And according to the teacher's speculation about the guy's temperament in Salvador, that guy will probably repeat his old trick, secretly colluding with the Odins again, and launch another invasion. war. It was the first plan and it was successful."
When the girl said this, she paused and explained casually: "The teacher sent Sister Via to Odin at that time, and some arrangements and preparations have been made. I have the news of the collusion between El Salvador and the Odins. And the crown prince has also arrived. Rodriguez Corps. After the first plan is successful, the teacher is ready to implement the second plan."
"what?"
"Purge the members of the warlord party in the imperial capital." The girl said lightly: "This is a dangerous gamble! The teacher is trying to force the warlord party to rebel! Force them to rebel! At that time, the emperor was old, and the empire was possessed by the warlord party. It is getting weaker and weaker, and if it goes on like this, in a few years, I am afraid that the royal family will not even have the strength to let go! That is the last chance! If you don't do it at that time, the previous emperor will die, the new emperor will succeed, and the new emperor will wait for the new emperor. Cultivate the foundational power and stand firm, I am afraid that it will take many years to live. At that time, the empire was already devastated by the cancer of the warlord party! There is no chance for a comeback! So the teacher has to take risks! At the last moment of the position, let it go, or you will have to wait to die in the future."
"So, the beginning of the plan was to deliberately alert the warlords and lure them to seduce the Odins to invade again. The first step is not difficult. Even if El Salvador didn't take the bait at that time, the teacher would collude with the Odins to invade! Sister Ya has already made some preparations in the Odin Empire! The invasion of the Odins is the most important part! Bringing wolves into the room is the first round of the teacher's plan!"
Xia Ya's heart was beating wildly, and her mind was buzzing with these shocking words. For a while, she forgot to ask about the details of what the girl said about "Sister Via".
"The reason why the invasion of the Odins is regarded as a key part is because the teacher's plan this time, the top priority, is to give up the land in the north, and no longer let the central army of the royal family resist!"
Snapped! !
Xia Ya couldn't help but slapped the table hard and became furious: "What kind of shit plan is this!!"
Facing Xia Ya's scolding, the girl was very calm: "This is not some bullshit plan, but an exquisite plan."
She shook her head: "Abandoning the land in the north, the Central Army will not go north to resist, this is the most important link. The teacher has calculated that, with the ambitions of the Odins, once they enter the territory of the empire, after they get the benefits, they will definitely not. It will stop there! Odin's nature is like a wolf, and he is insatiable! If you feed it with a little bit of goodness, not only will they not be full, but it will arouse their appetite! The Odins go to eat, then once the ambitions of the Odins are stimulated, they want to get greater benefits, and then…”
"The next step is to face the land of the Tema Military Region." Xia Ya took a deep breath!
This is an obvious fact!
After the Odins invaded and occupied the land of the northern border counties such as Syltan County, Moer County, their ambitions were stimulated, and they wanted to seek other benefits, so they could only directly face the Tema Military Region of the warlord party! !
At that time, the ambitious Odin wolf cubs will not estimate that the warlords are allies who collude with them to invade... When facing huge interests, any allies can be abandoned!
In fact, this plan of Cavie Hill is nothing more than to bring the Odins in at the expense of sending them out to the northern border counties, and finally, make Odins and the warlords fight!
Drive the tiger and devour the wolf! !
It's a standard scavenger hunt! !
If the Odins want to satisfy their greedy ambitions, they can only do so against the warlords!
And once Odin and the warlords fight, whether the warlords win or lose, they will definitely damage their vitality!
"The second round of the plan is to form an alliance with Landis." The girl smiled lightly: "The Landis people have always had hidden ambitions for the mainland. As a maritime country, the Landis people's attempts on the continent are already countless. The dream of the generation. It is only the coexistence of the two major powers in the mainland, and there is no chance for them to intervene. The second step of the teacher's plan is to pull the Landis people into this gambling game! Try to give them some benefits and disturb the situation. more complicated."
"Isn't this a traitor?" Xia Ya frowned.
"... Sigh." The girl was silent for a while, and then sighed: "This is also a point that the teacher hesitated repeatedly, but the lesser of two evils! Although the Lantis people have intentions for the interests of the mainland, they If they can't swallow too much, the nature of their maritime state is destined for their appetite not to be too large. Give them some benefits... It is a hundred times stronger than the subjugation of the country by those warlords. As long as the empire can eradicate the harm of warlords, After more than ten years of stability, the national strength has become stronger, and the problems of the Lantis people will not be a problem in the future."
Xia Ya pondered for a moment, then nodded, as if he recognized the girl's words.
"The third step plan is that once the warlord party is forced to rebel and the civil war starts, we will concentrate the army controlled by the royal family and stick to the front line of Osgilia. Give up the north, give up completely! Let the Odin invaders, as long as we concentrate our army to defend Austria. Sigiriya, persevere and fight. There will be a conflict between the Odins and the warlords in time, and only then will we wait for our opportunity. According to the teacher's plan, as long as there is the support of the Lantis people , coupled with our own concentration of troops to defend Osgilia, it should not be a problem. Gambling is always risky. Besides, the teacher said that although the warlords are powerful, they are not a whole, but dozens of them. When a small group unites together, it is possible to maintain unity for a short period of time in good times, but as time goes on, if there is any conflict of interests, there will be internal divisions! This point... the teacher is also right."
After the girl finished speaking, she also let out a long sigh: "Alliance with Landis to the outside world, abandoning the land in the north, tolerating the invasion of the Odins, waiting for the infighting between the Odins and the warlord party, and waiting for the internal division of the warlord party members. , in the end, we will wait for our opportunity to win. The teacher's overall plan is probably like this. Judging from the fact that this year has come, the teacher's plans are not all in the middle, but also in 100%. Ninety percent!"
Xia Ya was stunned!
Cavie Hill…
Cavie Hill!
What a big bet! What a big deal!
But even Xia Ya had to admit, this damn old lunatic, bet right! !
Abandoning a large area in the northern part of the empire and letting the Odins invade, the Central Army retreated to the front line of Osgilia to defend the imperial capital! The Odins invaded, and sure enough, the appetite was not satisfied. Sure enough, Manninger couldn't help swallowing the Corsica Military Region! !
Although there are factors of Char's sowing discord... But from the perspective of the overall situation, even if there is no Char's manipulation in the middle, after a long time, the Odins can't help but do it!
This is the current interest, what must happen!
The Corsican military region was annexed by the Odins, which directly led to the division of the rebel alliance! Where the Odins are heading, all the military districts in the north of the rebel army are in danger! After internal divisions, the rebels are no longer a unified whole.
With the joining of the Landis people, they formed an alliance with the empire and officially participated in the war on the mainland. The Landis army landed and became a powerful foreign aid for the Byzantine Empire...
This one thing happened in the past year!
And all this, that damned crazy Cavie Hill.
He had already planned everything in advance!
It seems that everything that happened this year was carried out step by step according to his plan! !
Although there are some small mistakes and unexpected details, but from the overall point of view... it is 90% realized!
"This year, the biggest accident is the accidental loss of Osgilia. This accident is beyond the teacher's calculation... Alas, with a famous imperial general like General Adric, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. The army, and the reinforcements of the Lantis people at sea. The fall of the imperial capital can only be said to be an accident, but fortunately, we managed to get the situation back.”
The girl smiled bitterly; "The teacher said that this is originally a gamble, and gambling will definitely involve risks. He told me that even if it is a god, it is impossible to guarantee that every decision is correct. The teacher has done his best for the empire and planned Even the teacher himself was not fully sure of whether he would succeed in the end after such a tactic of trying to survive. But luckily, it seems that the situation has finally recovered."
"… "
Xia Ya couldn't help breaking out a cold sweat on her forehead when she heard it!
The power of this Cavie Hill really made Xi Ya have to break a cold sweat! With such a god-like calculation, the changes in the country's situation over the past year and the development of the war were all counted early... Such a terrible lunatic...
(Fortunately, he was already dead.) Xia suddenly had such an idea in her heart.
But then his expression changed suddenly: "You... You haven't said... How did Caviehir die?"
The girl sighed, her voice a little sullen: "This is one of the plans that went wrong. It's what the teacher said, the problem of His Majesty the late emperor Kangtos... Although the late emperor obeyed the teacher's words, he sent the crown prince. Imperial Capital, this huge plan of the original teacher is already ready to be implemented, but who knows, when the matter is approaching, His Majesty suddenly has an old problem, and he looks forward and backward."
Saying that, the girl glanced at Junker who was sitting there with his head in his hands.
Junker calmed down for a while, he raised his head and looked at Xia Ya: "His Majesty the late emperor had already made up his mind, and even summoned me in secret. At that time, His Majesty asked me if I was willing to die for him. . Based on my speculation, Your Majesty probably made a decision. Then His Majesty secretly ordered me to convene the Night Royal Forest and be ready to do it at any time. The target of the action is exactly where the Red District Warlord Party in Osgilia City is located."
After a pause, Junker smiled bitterly: "However, after His Majesty's secret order came down, there will be no more follow-up. I gathered the Dark Night Royal Forest and made preparations, but for several days, His Majesty did not order. Do it. I know it, Your Majesty is afraid that it will be shaken again."
"Old and sick, Emperor Cantos has lost his spirit. After he was persuaded by the teacher, he was shaken again. Although the teacher tried to persuade His Majesty, Emperor Cantos was always hesitant and always said to wait. Think again."
"But the situation at that time was like an arrow on the string, and it had to be sent! Besides, El Salvador had already planned, and had secretly contacted and colluded with the Odins to prepare to invade again. If the first emperor waited any longer, I'm afraid..." The girl sighed: "The teacher is planning to make a plan. After that, just talking about this matter, there is still a chance, and it needs something to trigger it. Finally, the teacher made up his mind to start this big gamble with his death! The teacher arranged the assassination, and then made arrangements to let the emperor mistakenly Thought it was the work of the henchmen of El Salvador, and finally caused the anger and resentment of the late emperor, and finally acted..."
Xia: "…"
He opened his mouth wide and froze for a long time before frowning: "Cavihill... ah, that... teacher, he, he... From what I know about him, I'm afraid he's not that great..."
This is really disrespectful to Caviehir, but the girl was not angry, she glanced at Xiaya, and then at Junker, who was full of self-blame, and finally whispered: "You said, Also... It can't be wrong. This plan, from the beginning to the end, the teacher only told me the truth, even Junker, the teacher did not tell him. Junker, I told you earlier, you really don't have to blame yourself, the assassination is The teacher arranged it by himself. At that time... even without your assassination, the teacher didn't have much time. In fact, the teacher's health has deteriorated a lot in recent years. The previous emperor was already terminally ill, and our teacher... Actually , too."
