The forty-eighth chapter

The golden drums sounded and roared. The soldiers arranged in neatly arranged in a row did not move in the pouring rain. The water droplets drooped down the soldiers' brows, and the water flow on their faces slowly slid into the soldiers' underwear that had been soaked. The closed lips and fixed postures of staring at the eyes were like statues. The bright spear tips and spear tips shone with blue light in the air, and the leather armor soaked in the rain showed a calm color little by little, and it always seemed that there was an indescribable solemn smell. The murderous aura brought by tens of thousands of soldiers gathered together seemed even stronger in the rain, as if it was about to cut through the vast rain and mist and soar into the sky. The straight and upright soldiers were full of energy, with their heads raised their chests, and were erect to welcome His Majesty's review with great momentum.

The rain had already soaked the three people riding on the horse, but the middle-aged man who was riding the horse first flatly refused the suggestion behind him that the two people would hold an umbrella and put on rain gear. While waving to the soldiers who saluted, he watched the moving parade in the rain with a smile. Every look of the soldiers came into the eyes of the middle-aged man without reservation, and it seemed so vivid and natural, which made the heart of the middle-aged man who had not felt this close and touching atmosphere for a long time surged a sense of indescribable heroic spirit.

From the army being inspected to the other, half an hour seemed so long at this moment. While the young man who was heading first was full of confidence, the Marshal Pijia, who was already a little uneasy, was even more uneasy. He didn't know why His Majesty suddenly insisted on reviewing the originally cancelled phalanx of soldiers, but His Majesty's stubborn opinion could not stop anyone, and even the Minister of State could only stand up and accompany His Majesty to suffer a crime in the rain.

"Very good, I am very satisfied. Zoff, I see that the morale of the kingdom army is quite high, not as bad as you said in the last battle report to me. I don't believe that these inferior nations in the south can really compare to our Andes. After seeing the momentum of this army, my confidence has soared out of thin air." Hearing the two maids who accompanied me with me take off their wet clothes, put on their clothes, and lay in a wide handsome chair, the middle-aged man had recovered his usual easy-going and naturalness. His majesty when the parade was just now disappeared without a trace. He let the maid take off his boots, wipe them clean and put them on his boots, and the laziness that he used to smile appeared on the fair face of the middle-aged man.

Kutuzov didn't understand the meaning of this friend who grew up. He had already made up his mind that if the other party insisted on withdrawing troops, he could only obey and then extract more benefits from the negotiations with the coalition forces. However, after His King came down, he did not mention the withdrawal of troops and peace talks. Is it not as bad as he imagined? He glanced at the dull Minister of State, and Kutuzov had for the first time that he could not see through the eyes. The feeling of human beings, he coughed softly, "Your Majesty, our army suffered a lot in the Battle of Tocton, but the loss of the coalition was also quite large. The continuous rain also affected the morale of both sides. However, our army was elite veterans who had been trained for a long time and fought many times, and were more able to adapt to wars in unfavorable situations. In contrast, even though the coalition had a slightly superior force, in terms of overall strength, the old minister thought it was not an opponent of our army."

Seeing that things seemed to have a turning point, Kutuzov, who had always been modest, did not care about modesty, and carefully analyzed the favorable situation in front of him: "The most important thing is that the mercenaries of the eastern Peninsula Alliance, which plays a vital role in the coalition, may soon return east because of Li Wufeng's southward travel, and the rainy season will end. It is the best time for our army to fight to start a decisive battle with the coalition. As long as we fight, the entire western Peninsula Alliance and the city-states will become our pockets. The Kingdom of Sioran can no longer use the power of the alliance to restrain our army. We only need to rest for two years and digest the land of the strategy. At that time, it will be time to settle the new and old hatreds with the Kingdom of Sioran."

"Well, Zov seems to be very confident in resolving the coalition forces in one battle." Without commenting on the words of his military marshal and friend, the middle-aged man lay comfortably in the handsome chair and stretched his waist. There were only three people left in the big tent. As the king of a country, the middle-aged man seemed to be indifferent to the two confidants standing in front of him. His eyes revealed by his dark pupils always seemed to be wandering.

"Marson Marshal, I believe you also learned that Li Wufeng has already made a big move south in the east of Hengduan Mountain. Hege does not understand military affairs, but I would like to ask, with the current situation, can the Peninsula Alliance resist Li Wufeng's move south?" The Minister of State, who had never spoken, finally asked.

As his eyes narrowed, Kutuzov didn't know what the other party was trying to ask this question, but he knew that this would definitely have a lot to do with the two of them coming to decide whether to fight or something, so he didn't dare to neglect it. After thinking carefully, he replied: "Although the Peninsula Alliance has a military alliance and mutual assistance agreement, there is an undercurrent inside. If the countries and city-states in the eastern Peninsula Alliance only want to resist the full attack of Li Wufeng, it will be difficult, unless the Maqi Khan and the Nanyang Alliance, who were signed by the Treaty of Urgen, sent troops to support it, that would be a different matter."

"So according to the marshal's opinion, will Machikhan and the South China Alliance send troops to help?" the Minister of State immediately asked.

"Even if the Nanyang Alliance is helpful, based on the efficiency of their alliance parliament, I am afraid that the Tanghe people's flags will be planted all over the peninsula at the time of the agreement. As for the Maqi Khans, I am not sure. Bi Xili and Lei Juetian are both cunning people. Logically, they will not allow Li Wufeng to move south so unscrupulously. In the long run, this is also a potential huge threat to the Maqi Khans. But now the Maqi Khans are dragged in the Sanjiang County of the Lin family. The Milanese people are also a hidden danger behind it. Whether they will send troops and how large-scale intervention will have a great impact on the development of the battle situation and the final outcome. There are many variables in the middle, so I cannot be sure." Kutuzov's words became more and more cautious and rigorous, without any leakage.

"I remember that the Marshal once told His Majesty that this would become our enemy sooner or later. I wonder if the Marshal thinks so now?" Hege's voice became deeper and deeper.

After a moment of silence, Kutuzov carefully understood the meaning of the other party's words, glanced at the middle-aged man sitting in a big chair and seemed to be asleep, and then slowly said: "Yes, I did say this, but now I need to correct it. If Li Wufeng can solve Frederick in Luzon, then Li Wufeng will become our biggest enemy. But now Li Wufeng seems to have relaxed the pressure on Luzon, and Frederick seems to have experienced some hardships and become much more mature. It is probably not easy for Li Wufeng to solve the Luzon people. In my opinion, Li Wufeng may not be able to do this within three to five years. Therefore, Li Wufeng cannot pose a substantial threat to us in a short period of time."

"Then in the opinion of the marshal, is it necessary for us to send the Peninsula Alliance coalition back to the east to restrain Li Wufeng's movement south?" Hege's face seemed to turn from yin to sunny at this time, and he looked much better, which made Kutuzov puzzled.

"Let the mercenaries return east?" Kutuzov's thoughts turned sharply, then he was shocked, and he was overjoyed. He was puzzled. Why had he never heard of how the Minister of State, who had been involved in military affairs, could come up with such a clever plan? His eyes immediately looked at His Majesty the King who was lying in a big chair, but saw that the young man with a slightly raised corner of his mouth had not opened his eyes, but his expression had already exposed everything.

"Your Majesty,•;•;•;•;•;•;" Kutuzov suddenly realized, but what was the performance of the Minister of State?

"Haha, Zoff, there is no need to look around. This method is indeed my intention, but Heg firmly supports Zoff's opinion. I want to defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop and take down the Peninsula Alliance. I just agree. I was a little worried before that the Kingdom army could deal with the Peninsula Alliance and the Sioran Alliance after the Battle of Tocton. However, after seeing my army's performance, I feel relieved. Heg trusts Zoff, you have a lot of trust in Zoff, and always firmly believes that Zoff can completely defeat the coalition forces." Opening his eyes, the middle-aged man stood up, stretched his body, and walked up in the big tent with his hands on his back, "No matter Li Wufeng, he doesn't care about Li Wufeng."

Is it the future enemy or the current threat? It is only good for us to let the mercenaries from the east go back. Now the intelligence personnel from all sides are operating very well in our territory. I have to be careful. This time I brought Hege to create an illusion for the outside world, that is, Hege and Zov are different, especially Hege and Zov, you are even more rivals. And I seem to have suspicious of Zov, which is to give everyone this illusion. In this way, we can not only gain some benefits in the negotiations, but also when the mercenaries from the eastern Peninsula Alliance set off, we can continue to complete our grand undertakings of the southern expedition!"
