"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1121
There was light snow in the sky, and the howling cold wind was howling head-on. A group of elite Northern Army cavalry was walking along the muddy and wet road in the snow.
The snow particles hit his cheeks, making Li Kou, the generalissimo of the rebel soldiers and horses riding on the steed horse, turn red from the cold.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think His Majesty suddenly called me back this time?"
Generalissimo Li Kou of the rebel army rubbed his hands that were a little stiff and red, and turned to ask another scribe whose face was purple.
This scribe, wrapped in a thick cotton robe, is Zhang Qian, Chief of Staff of the Northern Army, and a confidant of Generalissimo Li Kou.
"Marshal, I heard that the bandits have made frequent moves recently. Their scout Qingqi has penetrated more than 100 miles into the hinterland of Hedong Province. It seems that the bandits have made a big move recently. It is estimated that your Majesty called you back to discuss this matter. .¡±
After thinking about it for a while, Chief of Staff Zhang Qian also expressed some of his own thoughts and judgments for Li Kou's reference.
"The bandit army is now attacking Baishan, Yunzhong, Daling and other provinces at the same time, do they dare to attack us at the same time?" Li Kou was deeply suspicious of this.
Although the fighting power of the Qinghe Army is strong, after all, their foundation is very shallow, and their strength is not very large.
Now the Qinghe army has attacked six or seven provinces at the same time, and they are fighting with powerful wolf cavalry.
Therefore, Generalissimo Li Kou judged that in terms of the strength of the Qinghe Army, there was no way to open up a new battlefield because of insufficient troops.
"The bandit army always likes to use dangerous tactics in combat, and they don't play cards according to common sense. Now the scout Qingqi of the bandit army dares to go deep into the hinterland of Hedong for a hundred miles, which shows that they have already taken a peek at us." Chief of Staff Zhang Qian Judgment says.
"Hmph, it's freezing cold now, and the bandit army is scattered in various provinces. Even if they want to take the risk to attack us, I think it will be too much."
Li Kou is the Generalissimo of the rebel army, and the most powerful under his command is the 200,000 Northern Army under his command.
These 200,000 northern troops are all cavalry units with strong combat effectiveness, and the wolf cavalry who once fought did not dare to invade south.
And now the rebels are expanding their army crazily. In addition to his Northern Army, there is also the Zhendong Army affiliated to Chai Sheng, which only belongs to the rebel emperor Longtian's troops. Among them, the deputy commander Xu Yong has the strongest troops.
Now although they are huddled in Lancang, the east, and the small area of ????Hedong Province, they are still strong.
If the Qinghe army dared to really attack, he didn't mind teaching the Qinghe army a good lesson, and let the Qinghe army know that the tiger's butt can't be touched.
"Naturally, our soldiers are strong and our horses are strong, so we are not afraid of the bandits. As long as we wait until the beginning of spring, when the reinforcements arrive, it will be easy to wipe out the bandits."
"It's just that when the time comes, it's easy to ask the gods to send the gods away. With the ambitions of the Holy See and the Hanhai Dynasty, they will never leave our country so easily."
Zhang Qian, chief of staff, continued: "If the two countries assist us in eliminating the bandit army and don't withdraw, His Majesty will definitely be angered. Maybe we will go to war with them at that time, and we will definitely bear the brunt."
After hearing Zhang Qian's words, Marshal Li Kou couldn't help frowning, because he just looked in front of him and didn't think so far.
"What do you think sir, just say it."
Seeing that Zhang Qian, the chief of staff, talked all about this, Li Kou also knew that this was indeed a problem they had to face in the future.
"Whether it is the Holy See or the Hanhai Dynasty, it is easy for them to help us eliminate the bandit army, but it is not easy to turn around and deal with us. Once His Majesty turns against them, we will definitely become cannon fodder."
"So if we want to survive, we must preserve our strength now and turn to one of them when the time comes. Otherwise, our Northern Army may disappear in the long river of history."
"You mean to make me betray His Majesty?"
Li Kou looked around and saw that the cavalry guards were falling far behind, so he lowered his voice and asked.
After all, no matter which power it is, the most important thing is the loyalty of the courtiers. If Long Tian hears that he has two hearts, he will lose his head soon.
"Commander, people die for money and birds die for food. If our northern army wants to survive, it cannot be an enemy of the Holy See or the Hanhai Dynasty." Zhang Qian said.
Li Kou still felt a little bit guilty in his heart: "But His Majesty also treats me very highly, and even named me the Marshal of the Army and Horses. "
When the old emperor passed away, he led his troops to support the fourth prince, Longtian, in order to further his power.
His support for the fourth prince does not mean that he betrayed the court, because the loyal old emperor died, and the fourth prince is also from the royal family.
But now the chief of staff Zhang Qian's meaning is very clear, that is, if the situation is not right, he is required to betray the Lord and seek glory.
"Marshal, Your Majesty doesn't value you very much. What he values ??is your Northern Army." Zhang Qian said bluntly.
Although this remark is not pleasant to hear, Li Kou, Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, thought it was not unreasonable after thinking about it.
If he didn't have hundreds of thousands of Northern Army as his backing, he probably wouldn't be able to be the Generalissimo of the Army.
"As long as we have the strength in our hands and express our attitude, neither the Holy See nor the Hanhai Dynasty will embarrass us."
"And if you get their full support, it will not be difficult for the commander-in-chief to sit in the position of the ninth-five lord." Zhang Qian gave Li Kou a meaningful look.
After hearing the words of Chief of Staff Zhang Qian, Li Kou's breath also became short of breath. He had thought about self-reliance countless times before.
However, in the face of powerful forces from all sides, he finally gave up the idea, and now Zhang Qian brought it up again, which made his ambition buried deep in his heart ready to move again.
"Let's talk about this later."
After Li Kou glanced at his confidant, he hesitated for a few seconds, and didn't want to continue talking, because he felt that the time was not yet ripe.
"Marshal, if His Majesty wants us to go to the front line to fight against the bandits, we should preserve our strength."
Seeing that Li Kou was acting mysteriously not to talk about this topic, the Chief of Staff Zhang Qian didn't know what he meant, but he still kindly reminded him.
After all, no matter what you want to do in the future, it must be backed by strength. If you don't have strength, everything will be useless.
"Phew!"
Just when Li Kou was thinking about whether to secretly contact the Holy See or the Hanhai Dynasty in order to win their support, and to sit on the Ninth Five-Honored position himself, suddenly the whistling sound of arrows sounded in his ears.
As the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, Li Kou was born in the cavalry, and when he heard the whistling sound, he subconsciously ran towards the horse's belly to avoid it.
The arrow whizzed past, then pierced through the chest of a guard cavalry not far behind him, spattering blood.
"ah!"
After the bodyguard cavalry pierced by the arrow screamed, he immediately rolled off his horse with a plop. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
