Chapter 1408 Intrigue
A few days later, Chen Chu arrived in the Loga Mountains, and together with Chen Chu, the elite First Legion and the Seventh Legion were also arrived.
"Wenpin, thank you for your hard work during this period!" Chen Chu smiled at the general Wenpin, who was standing on the right head. Wenpin has been guarding the Luojia Mountains for a while.
Wen Pin couldn't help feeling flattered when he heard this, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "I am loyal to Your Majesty and the Empire, and I dare not speak of my hardship!"
Chen Chu nodded with a smile and asked, "How is the situation of Ross Army?"
Wen Pin clasped his fists and said, "The Ross army on the front of Luojia Mountain has about 800,000 people, including nine legions of about 450,000 regular legions, including the War Bear Legion and the Goshawk Legion, which the Ross people are proud of."
Chen Chu thought, "It's only 800,000!"
Wen Pin was stunned when he heard this.
Chen Chu said: "We must make the Ross army in front of us feel extremely serious danger! What is the current arrangement of their army?"
Wen Pin replied: "The 800,000 Ross army was divided into two parts, of which 450,000 were hoarded in and around the Durent Fortress! The other part of the 350,000 army was hoarded in the daycare province in the east! What's strange is that Cao Pi actually set up a defensive formation!"
"Cao Pi? You said that the opponent opposite us is Cao Pi?" Chen Chu asked.
Wen Pin nodded, "Based on the information obtained by the scout, this is indeed the case!"
Chen Chu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Empress Ross trusted Cao Pi quite well!~~" An idea appeared in Chen Chu's mind. Chen Chu temporarily pressed this idea because it was not yet time.
"Fengxian!" Chen Chu called out.
Lu Bu's tiger's eyes lit up, and a loud voice replied, "Here!"
Chen Chu ordered: "I will lead 20,000 cavalry to challenge the Durant Fortress, kill them with a fierce spirit! Remember, if the enemy is in full swing, you will not be able to fight!" "Get orders!" Lu Bu agreed with his fists.
Chen Chu said loudly: "All the generals will go down and prepare, we will set out tomorrow! The target, Durant Fortress!" "Yes!" The generals agreed with their promise.
Inside the lobby of the Durant Fortress.
"General, when will we launch the general attack?" Cao Pi's general Kasro asked impatiently.
Cao Pi put down the letter he had just received, looked at Casro, and asked, "Do you think we have the ability to break through the Luojia defense line of the Qin army's 500,000 troops?"
Casro was stunned and frowned and asked, "But, the imperial court's order~~!"
Cao Pi said decisively: "The general is not accepted by the orders of the king outside! As a general on the front line, I have the right to decide the action strategy based on the actual situation! Although our army has 800,000, its overall combat power is not as good as the opponent. Don't talk about attacking, even defense is not easy! I am passing on my general order, and the army along the line must not fight without my order! Violators will be punished by military law!"
The generals were filled with their hearts and agreed with their promises with fists.
After the generals retreated, Cao Pi came to the map, looked at the situation on the map and frowned and murmured: "This time the decision seems a bit hasty!"
Petersburg Palace.
"What did the Romans do? My Ross army has already confronted the main force of Qin! But they have not launched a general attack for a long time!" Queen Slan looked a little out of control.
Prime Minister Schroeder said: "It's no wonder they are! Who would have thought that the food and grass that were hoarded in the mansion would be raided by the Qin cavalry!"
Queen Slan frowned and said ruthlessly: "Canglang Camp! What a Canglang Camp!"
"Prime Minister, do you think the Qin army will take the initiative to attack us? Can we resist it?" Queen Slan asked with some concern.
The Prime Minister said: "This should be unquestionable! The main army of Qin is already on the southern front. If it weren't for the attack on us, why should it be like this? As for whether it can resist it? Queen, we should trust our army!"
Queen Slan nodded. After thinking for a moment, she ordered: "Sent to the governors of all provinces across the country to prepare for a comprehensive mobilization! We must make the worst plans!"
The hall calmed down and the atmosphere seemed very depressing. No wonder, the Luos people who lost consecutive battles in front of the Qin army had no confidence.
Far from the extreme north of Ross' central area. It is thousands of miles away from Petersburg. There are many yurt-like tents distributed on a lush meadow between the two mountains. Herders ride horses to drive the flock of sheep with long poles. Women are busy outside the tents. In the center of this settlement, there is a special area surrounded by simple fences, the size of a football field, and surrounded by soldiers. At this time, several important figures of the original Ross were discussing matters.
"This is the information I just received, look!" The person who spoke was Babulov, the oldest general of the former Ross, sitting cross-legged opposite him, one of which was former Ross Prime Minister Goggins, and the other two were the heads of two tribes in the north, one was named Ades and the other was Kunschle, with a total population of 300,000. The extreme northern tribe mentioned here is different from the tribes that supported the eldest prince Peterchi as mentioned before. The tribes that supported Peterchi were more than 3,000 miles north of Peterborough, and it was a tribe alliance with a population of nearly one million.
Gaokins took the information, looked carefully, and frowned slightly, "It seems that the situation of the empire is worrying!"
Babulov angrily said, "If it weren't for this bitch Slan, why would our Ross Empire be like this? I have to kill her with my own hands!"
"Do you think we should take some action at this time?" asked Pablov.
Goggins shook his head, "No! The empire is in great crisis at present, and we must not drag the empire back! It is no longer a personal problem for Slan, but a problem for the entire empire!"
Pabulov nodded and thought, "We don't do this, but someone will do this!"
Goggins frowned, "You are talking about the eldest prince Peterchi?"
Babulov said: "This guy just wants to be the emperor all day long, so he will definitely not miss this opportunity!"
Goggins frowned and nodded, saying worriedly: "He can do it!"
Babulov smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much! Petersburg can't be threatened with Petersburg!"
Goggins shook his head and said worriedly: "It's not that simple! When two even opponents fight each other, any little external force may cause a total change!"
Pablov frowned and said, "What should we do? Stop him? We can't do it at all!"
Goggins sighed, "We can only watch!"
Just when Goggins and the others were worried, Peter, the eldest prince of Ross, who was thousands of miles away, welcomed an important guest.
"I will not beat around the bush, just say it!" Peter said in unison. A middle-aged man who looked like a Han man sat opposite him.
"What will you do if our army breaks through Petersburg?" Peterchi asked with concern.
"If Your Highness seizes Petersburg, then he will be the emperor of the Ross Empire. My Great Qin Empire and the Ross Empire will become brotherly countries, so of course we will withdraw our troops!" The envoy smiled.
Peter nodded and asked with a greedy look on his face, "What help can you help me?"
The messenger smiled and said, "Is it not enough for our army to hold back the main force of Slan's pseudo-senior?"
Peterchi shook his head, "Not enough! Nothing is enough!" He stretched out his two fingers, "I will also provide me with 100,000 sets of armor and 500 artillery!"
The messenger was stunned and said to himself: 'Good guy! You really dare to ask for it!' pretended to hesitate and nodded, "Yes! I can agree to you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor!"
Peter was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "There is no basis for speaking, let's set up the words!" Then he ordered the maid to present mature cowhide and ink. In Rose, there was no paper. In important occasions, cowhide or sheepskin is generally used as the carrier of text.
The envoy signed a contract with Peterchi on behalf of Qin, and stated that the treaty would take effect only after Peterchi became Emperor Ross.
Peterchi picked up the cooked cowhide and couldn't help laughing.
