Dax was sent away, and his loyal magician servant was picked up - from this point of view, it seems that God's will has destined our Lord Dotolo to go to the imperial capital. He didn't complete the previous mission, and he met Xi Ya and turned back halfway. It seems that this time, our magician has to go to Osgilia. Our uncle Char gave an order and made the team speed up, and the whole team went all the way towards their base camp - Syltan County, Xincheng.
Xi Ya walked very fast, especially after entering Syltan County, he immediately got in touch with the local garrison, and then Xi Ya handed over the convoy to the garrison, he only brought Mr. Darwin and Oak. , Aside from the brigade, go directly to the new city.
It can be said that when he got the news of Xia Ya's return, Green's mood can be described as a sense of relief - this kid who doesn't do a good job is finally back! Just as General Green, who abides by his duties, is thinking about how to persuade his boss well, he must get rid of this bad habit of playing and disappearing no matter what in the future-Char came back and saw Green's first sentence. The words are: "Get ready, we're going to fight!"
At the beginning, Green didn't understand Xiaya's words correctly. Green mistakenly thought that Xiaya knew the order from the imperial capital to send troops to the Northern Army. It is estimated that Xiaya planned to make some noises and deal with the imperial capital. Just request.
So Green's answer was: "It's ready, I've made preparations for Sharpa's cavalry regiment to send troops, and pulled it to the border to run for two days. If you do it, you should be back soon."
If Xia could do it, Green would almost faint on the spot!
"Cavalry regiment? Just the cavalry regiment is not enough. Order, the entire army of the Northern Army is mobilized. We will move forward in four directions. I hope that the situation in the north will be calmed down before the first snow of winter comes."
One of Green's reactions when he heard this was - the boss is crazy!
Yes, he must be crazy!
It's not just Green that thinks so! The first time Xia Ya entered the city, a military meeting was held, and immediately, almost all the generals of the Northern Army in the new city thought so. The boss must be crazy!
And Xiaya ignored everyone's eyes at all, and directly pinned a map of the north to the wall.
Well, now let's briefly introduce the current situation around Char's "Northern Garrison".
To put it simply, Char's northern garrison now occupies the territory of More County, Syltan County, and the former Corsica Military District.
These three places make up Char's current jurisdiction, and outside the "Northern Garrison", there are a total of four Red Round Table warlords' sites.
The distribution is evenly distributed, with two in the east and two in the west.
It is worth mentioning that the two in the east all border the Corsica region, while the two in the west all border the county of Syltane.
The forces of these four warlord parties, according to the traditional name of the empire, they are all military regions, the Tema military region. Among the red round table groups of the warlord party, the strength of these four military regions is not the top, but they are by no means the weakest - if you do a math problem, the total strength of the four is about 60,000 or 70,000. Man, this is still a conservative estimate.
This is a very simple math problem. After the reorganization of Char's northern army, the first corps now has 20,000 combat strength. If you add the cavalry unit, Char's total strength is only about half of the opponent's, which is insufficient— If the local garrison does not move.
From a normal military point of view, it's not that they can't fight, but with a weak force, it is absolutely mind-blowing to start a war with four families at the same time. But everyone at the meeting could see that their commander-in-chief had a serious look, and his expression definitely didn't look like he was joking!
"As for the plan to send troops, the first corps and cavalry are all dispatched, and the local garrison can be stationed in place." Xia Ya took a deep breath: "Who is the leader of the troops..."
Xia Ya quickly spoke out the ideas that he had planned along the way.
The two Tema military districts to the west, the "Notting Military District" was the weakest among the four opponents. Char's plan was to let Sharba take the independent cavalry regiment. The Nordin military area has less than 8,000 troops, so Char's cavalry regiment is the foundation of the Rodriguez cavalry. With four thousand Rodriguez cavalry against several thousand warlord troops, the chance of winning is huge.
And there is an opponent outside the territory also in the west: the Beckerp Military District. This military region has a force of about 15,000, which is the second strongest among the four opponents. Char's meaning is to dispatch the First Corps of the Northern Army, and Commander Green - with Green's military ability, plus the Northern Army As for the combat strength of the First Corps, with the strength of the two sides being equal, with an excellent general like Green, and the elite level of the Northern Army, there should be no problem in defeating the other side.
It can be said that for the two opponents in the west, there is not much problem with such an assignment.
But next, when it comes to the east front, everyone's plan is breathless!
"The Newwicka Military Region is in the northeast of Corsica, so you don't need to deploy too many troops, let Sogel draw 5,000 people from the Corsica region, make an attacking posture, attract the attention of the other party, and then They can deal with them and hold them temporarily. Newwicka only has 10,000 troops, they can't pull all of them out. If we take an offensive posture, they will pull out at most two flag groups to deal with it, let Sogel Put on a confrontational stance and tell him that all I need is ten days or so."
Having said that, Xiaya set his sights on the name of the fourth opponent on the map.
Boluo Military District.
Among all the Red Round Table camps of the rebel warlord party, the Boluo Military Region can also be regarded as a member of the front-line phalanx. Because this Boluo military region has land equivalent to about a county, and also has more than 30,000 troops.
This kind of strength is not inferior to the former Corsican military region and the Besta people.
It can be said that among the Tema military regions of all the empires, there are not too many warlords with such a large area and the strength of more than one corps. The best among them, such as the leading figure among the warlords, Governor Hughes of the Armenian Military Region, is nothing more than the territory of a county plus tens of thousands of horses.
Another example is El Salvador.
If it is only calculated mathematically, the strength of the Boluo Military Region can even be firmly ranked in the top five of all warlords.
But in fact, the real strength of the Boluo Military Region can only be ranked in the top ten.
The reason is very simple. Although the Bolo Military Region has land in a county, the Bolo area is geographically remote and not too rich. Armenia, such as Hughes, is known for producing the most sophisticated armour on the continent. And the territory of the Governor of El Salvador... It has a name that makes people look up: Rodria!
Yes, "that" Rodriguez!
The hometown of the Roderian cavalry regiment, the former ace of the empire! From the name, you can see that the territory of El Salvador is famous for what it produces: brave warriors!
So, what about the Boluo Military Region, which also has such a large territory?
Sadly, the Boluo Military Region is known on the mainland for producing the most delicious potatoes and Chinese cabbage…
Even the ruler of this Boluo military region, the Beinrich family, is quite "famous" among the warlords of the empire.
It can be said that the Boluo military district was established as early as a hundred years ago - it was one of the first Tema military districts established in the Byzantine Empire.
And Rondo, the first-generation governor of the Boluo Military Region? Beinrich was once known for his bravery and skill in battle.
But unfortunately, after a hundred years, this former warlord family has quickly become aristocratic.
In the last three decades, they have had three governors.
Stent, who took office thirty years ago? Governor Beinrich, who reigned for two years, was said to be an equestrian aficionado. Unfortunately, this hobby did not allow him to build a strong cavalry force - the governor is said to play very good polo. And in the end, he unfortunately died of this hobby: he fell off his horse in a polo match again, and was trampled on his head by his companion's hoof.
The next governor was the polo lover's younger brother, named Romero? Beinrich.
This dude became famous because of one of his hobbies: lust.
It is said that he married a total of eleven wives—perhaps you will twitch your lips when you see this number, thinking that it is nothing, and it is not an anecdote for such a powerful person to have more women.
Well... if this is not anecdotal, then... of his eleven wives, one of them is the widow of his dead brother (he not only inherited his brother's governorship, but also his wife laughs) - you think it's nothing? Then there are more fierce ones behind, and one is more sensational than the other: his third wife, one of his half-sisters! The fifth wife is his niece! ! !
Are you dumbfounded? !
This dude's approach is definitely not a word for "fierce" to describe! It's a life like a beast! !
But tragedy struck.
This beast governor has been in office for twenty-six years. After successively marrying his sister-in-law, niece, and half-sister, it is probably such a beastly practice that even God can't stand it. As a result, this beast brother has Really cursed: his eleven wives bore him eleven offspring.
Unfortunately, ten of them are daughters, and the only male, his only son, is the result of this beast brother and his youngest wife, his niece! !
This is definitely a tragedy - because it is the product of close relatives, the only son is said to be born with some disabilities - it is said that this Xiongtai's hands are different from ordinary people, with four fingers on the left hand and six on the right. And, rumor has it that this guy has a different hobby: streaking!
Yes, it is "streaking"!
It is rumored that the Governor-General's favorite thing to do is to take off his clothes on a sunny day and run a few laps around his luxurious and comfortable Governor's Palace. It is not enough to run naked like this , when the Governor is interested, he will even order all his guards to take off their clothes and run with him...
Perhaps, this miraculous Mr. Governor is a strange man with human emancipation in his bones.
This gentleman's name is Hillman? Beinrich, but when people on the mainland mention this brother, they usually refer to him as the "Governor of Streaking".
It stands to reason that such a magical family can still exist today, and the Boluo Military Region has not been defeated and annexed by other forces. It seems like a miracle.
But in fact, although the nearly three governors of the Beinrich family are all eccentrics, in fact, it must be fair to say that they at least have some abilities.
For example, the sturdy beast governor who married his close relatives, although he was so lustful that he even started with his own blood relatives, but his ability to govern is not too bad, and he also made a lot of military regions. The thing that the governor is very envious of: he actually recruited a magician to work for his military district.
Moreover, the Boluo Military Region also has more than 30,000 troops. Even by the standard of the regular army of the Byzantine Empire, the quality of the army is not bad. This is due to the fact that they have a talent, a general with excellent military strategy, who has served three generations of governors and has served the Beinrich family.
And the more amazing thing is here!
The current actual commander of the Boluo Military Region Army was drawn up by the Governor of Polo, and his birth will make many people open their mouths in amazement - he was once a castrato in the Governor's Palace! Because he served the polo governor since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became the confidant of the polo governor and was inserted into the army. quite a bit like.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the Boluo Military Region is still standing after three absurd governors.
A magician's allegiance guaranteed the Beinrichs a loyal companion. And a eunuch general with excellent military ability took good control of the army for them. The best thing is that because the eunuchs have no fertility and no offspring, they will not have a particularly heavy desire for power, and there is no threat of usurpation.
Therefore, although the Boluo Military Region has a bad reputation outside, in fact, their strength must not be said to be "weak".
After all, they have 30,000 troops of good quality, an excellent and loyal general, and the help of magicians.
And for this strongest opponent, Char's plan is:
"Bolo Military Region, I will deal with it myself."
Green was the first to ask the question: "How many troops are you taking with you?"
The meaning of this sentence is obvious: you have allotted all the soldiers in the family, where is the army?
To deal with a military region with 30,000 troops, even if you Xia Yaleiming can fight very well, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't have enough troops.
... Xia Ya's answer shocked everyone!
"Five hundred strong cavalry battalion, foot is also!" Xia Ya smiled arrogantly: "I brought a 500 strong cavalry battalion to deal with the Boluo military area, within ten days I will definitely defeat the opponent, and then return to join the army with Sogel, Until then…”
"Wait, wait!" Green shouted: "Are you crazy? Xia?! Five hundred cavalry!! I admit that the strong cavalry battalion is very elite, but five hundred to thirty thousand, do you really think..."
"I'm not joking! I'm not crazy!" Xia Ya's tone suddenly became extremely serious, she slowly looked at the crowd, and said with concentration: "I know your worries and doubts, but what I need now is your trust. And obey! Trust me, I'm not crazy and I know exactly what I'm doing! I won't explain it to you now... I just need to execute orders unconditionally!"
…
How Xia Leiming persuaded the officers under his command to carry out his crazy plan - this process is no longer known in future generations.
In short, this crazy plan that seemed to be courting death at the time was forcibly carried out by the young general in the north with an extremely determined will and a non-negotiable attitude. And because of this crazy plan, people on the mainland have given this young general a new nickname since then: "Madman"!
However, what about Hillman, the famous "streaking governor" of the Boluo Military Region? Beinrich, the mood at this time will naturally not be too good.
Xia Ya still follows the rules. After he implemented the plan with a strong will, he sent a document to the Boluo Military Region through the channel before sending troops.
In fact, Xia Ya's Northern Army and the four surrounding warlords have been in contact for a long time, and, in fact... everyone's relationship is not too bad.
As early as when the Odin Chixue Army invaded south, occupied Syltan County, and annexed the Corsica Military Region, the four surrounding warlords had been worried for a while. But soon, Xia Ya took his newly established Northern Army to the south, fought in Syltan County, killed the Chixue Army, and conquered two territories in one fell swoop.
At that time, in fact, it was impossible for the four surrounding military regions to say that they had no idea at that time. It is not that no one has ever made an idea, and wants to send troops to occupy some territories to seek benefits while Xiaya's foothold is not stable.
But considering Xia Ya's ferocity - this guy forcibly defeated the murderous Odin Chixue Army! With this in mind, several of them backed down at the time.
Later, after Xia Ya established the Northern Army Group, he had some secret contacts with the four warlords, and the purpose of the contacts was very simple: procurement.
After the county of Syltan was ravaged by the Odins, it took a lot of materials to rebuild the home from the ruins and re-cultivate the abandoned farmland. Among them, the Besta people assisted some, but it is impossible to rely on the Besta people for such a large site. So at that time, Char also bought a lot of things in demand, such as food, agricultural tools, seeds and so on, through Dax.
Dax is the former ace intelligence officer of the Landis Kingdom, and he secretly communicates with the Garros Chamber of Commerce. Relying on the Garros Chamber of Commerce's network and strongholds in various places, the purchasing group sent by Char Ya has been here one after another. The four military regions, and even, Xi Ya even reached some secret purchase agreements with these four military regions through intermediaries. It can be said that the two sides actually have some secret relationships.
Especially the Bolo area.
The Boluo area has the largest territory and the largest population. It is also rich in grain production. It is an important area for Char to purchase materials.
Even, Xi Ya once had some secret correspondence with the legendary "streaking" governor. However, officially, everyone will never admit this.
From a certain point of view, it can be said that in the process of rebuilding Shirtan County, the Boluo Military Region still helped Char. Even in an agreement that everyone secretly reached, the Boluo Military Region promised the Northern Army a not-so-small amount of material purchases...
From this point alone, it can even be said that the two are secret allies.
But unfortunately, what angered the streaking governor was that at the moment he was holding the official document from this "secret ally"!
In this official document, Xi Ya brazenly declared that a purchasing caravan he sent disappeared in the Boluo area a few days ago, and he had reason to suspect that the Boluo people had done robbery. Strongly demanded the Boluo people to return the captured caravan members, hand over the murderer, and proposed a compensation amount - 100,000 gold coins.
At the end, he arrogantly declared that if the Boluo people did not agree to his request and did not pay him compensation, then he would bring warriors and swords to get it!
It just doesn't make sense! ! !
Hillman? Beinrich almost cocked his nose!
This is simply blatant blackmail and false accusation! !
What made him vomit blood even more was that just two months ago, Xiaya had just sent someone to purchase a large amount of food in his own territory, and because of the secret agreement between the two parties, he did not embarrass Xiaya's people. , but very happy to give a lot of convenience.
This Xia Yalei Ming is simply a white-eyed wolf! ! !
Just bought food from yourself, turned around and raised a butcher's knife to yourself? !
Bullying is not so bullying! ! Do you really think that my Boluo military region is afraid of you, a nouveau riche? !
Hmm, 100,000 gold coins? It's not that I can't afford it! I can't afford to lose this person! ! !
"Prepare for war! Mobilize the army!!!" The streaker governor gave an order very simply.
In his opinion, there is no need to reply to such a rogue's request. Since you want to deal with me, then call me!
In fact, he didn't know that Xia Ya didn't expect that the other party might agree to his rogue's request, nor did he wait for the Boluo people's reply.
On the second day after this official document was issued, Xiaya had already left Xincheng with his top 500 cavalry battalion, all the way to the east!
