Chapter 366

Everyone knows what "change of guard" means.

For the northwest army, their snobbery covers half of the nurin provinces, and they have been operating in the Northwest for 20 years. If they "change their guard" at this time, they will leave their territory. If a tree has no roots, it will die.

Moreover, the northwest army has not listened to any orders of the Empire for 20 years, but it still bears the name of Imperial Army in name.

For Lu Gao, the commander of the northwest army, he was also very clear that this was the last signal of the Empire.

It's a life-threatening decision. Or, accept the imperial order, then wait for their own is to the north after the collapse of the Empire.

Or, to refuse the order of the Empire's change of defense, the Empire must be ready for it. As long as they refuse, they will be charged with "disobeying military orders", "Treason" and other charges, which will be suppressed with high sounding. Next, there will be... War.

At the end of this year, the Empire recruited new soldiers on a large scale. Then, in the northwest, Dewey had 100000 troops, governor Bohan was also actively preparing for the war, and the imperial city guards transferred a division to the West... All these things were very obvious.

On the other hand, the northwest army seems to have very few troops mobilized.

Lugao was also very clear in his heart that all his previous powers had been threatening the Empire because the Empire was not sure to fight a civil war that would hurt him. For the sake of stability, for the sake of peace on the surface, the central empire was not willing to launch a civil war.

But now, I don't know why, the young Regent made such a determination!

Lugao knew better that once the Empire had made up its mind. If civil war is to be launched even at a certain price. Then the strength comparison between the two sides, losing must be their own. No matter in terms of population, military strength, war potential and so on, I am just a local warlord, and I am facing a huge empire.

When "blackmail" has lost its effect, then you should make the smartest decision.

Fort Watt, northwest army. Northwest army commander's mansion.

The hall was silent. Lugao was sitting at the top of the hall. He was very small, but his eyes full of pressure made the generals feel heavy.

"No more talking?" Lu Gao said coldly: "life and death is now! The Regent boy of the empire made it clear that he wanted our lives. Didn't everyone have any opinions? "

All the generals below were silent. No one spoke, but. In everyone's heart, there is a trace of discontent with lugao.

of vital importance? What did you do! For a whole year, the Empire has been deploying troops. We all know these things. They all suggested that Lu Gao make a decision as soon as possible, but this general has done nothing in the past year. Almost so sit still, let the Empire put the noose around his neck!

Now... What else can we do now!!

Many generals can't help but show their faces when they think so. Lu Gao saw it in his eyes, wrote it down in his heart, and said slowly: "I know that many people have some ideas in their hearts now, but it's not the time for infighting. We need to unite... I think you all know very well. What's our attitude towards the Empire in the past few years! Then, you can think that if we are really finished, the Empire will not forgive anyone here. No one can be forgiven for the great crime of treason. Since we want to live, we need to work together. "

It was these words that moved a lot of people, and immediately some people began to express their views.

Some places said they could send people to the grassland immediately. Find a big tribe that has a secret relationship with you. Ask them to send troops immediately to attack the province of Desa, and create a chaotic situation of "foreign invasion" first. To disrupt the situation in the northwest, then our Northwest army can refuse to go to the north on the pretext of "foreign invasion, military emergency". Even can secretly help grassland people, to the tulip Duke hit!

Lu Gao looked at the person who put forward the idea and sneered in his heart.

Grassland people? At this time, there is no need to count on grassland people.

Lugao also received the news on the grassland. Now the major tribes on the grassland have become a mess. You beat me and I beat you, and they all covet the position of the grassland king. Moreover, that Saladin... Lugao just thought about it a little, and then he guessed that behind Saladin must be Duwei! Grassland people are now too busy to help themselves. Where do they have the opportunity to send troops to help themselves?

What's more... His son couldn't kill Baihe, and he had completely torn his face with Daxueshan. Baihechou is the king of witchcraft. As long as he gives an order, which tribe on the grassland dares to help himself?

Alas... It's just a pity that Sebastian missed such a good opportunity!! The White River worries about the serious injury and is powerless, this kind of opportunity is not often had!!

Other generals suggested that they immediately attack the province of DESAR, concentrate their strength on defeating duvi's army with their own superior forces, then seize the opportunity to occupy the province of DESAR, seize the strategic reserves accumulated by the tulip Duke, and then fight a war of attrition with the Empire.

However, few people agree with such a proposal.

Some people think that we should start our troops immediately, concentrate our troops and go eastward with all our strength before the Empire starts. Then we can defeat the imperial capital as soon as possible. As long as we can conquer the imperial capital and destroy the royal family in the first World War, we will occupy the imperial capital and hijack the Imperial Palace and noble ministers. Then, as long as we send an address, we can spread it all over the mainland.

If everything goes well, then the world is ours! Destroy the Augustine Dynasty, and then lugao can be emperor!

The plan is bold and ambitious. It was immediately approved by many generals, and everyone thought about the possibility of this plan.

From Fort watt to the imperial capital, if it's a fast March, the elite cavalry can go to the capital in seven days. Moreover, the Empire's strength is not enough, and two divisions were dispatched to the north to replenish the Legion. Then he sent a division eastward to monitor himself. Now, there is only one division with 20000 troops stationed in the imperial capital. In addition, a division was mobilized from the southern army. However, the southern army was always considered to be the weakest in the main battle army of the Empire, and the northwest army generally did not look up to those guys.

It's just two divisions. With our strength, we can crush them in the first World War!

As long as you can occupy the imperial capital... Then, what is impossible?

Lugo didn't speak. Just listen to the discussion of these guys.

He was sneering in his heart.

He's ambitious, but he won't be arrogant.

In fact, Lu Gao has always been very clear that with his strength, he threatened the imperial capital with "war". When the imperial capital was unwilling to fight civil war, he naturally gained the upper hand. You have what you want. However, once the imperial capital made up its mind to fight, it would lose its greatest reliance.

Relying on the strength of the northwest army, it is almost impossible to attack the imperial capital in the first World War.

If it's a normal city. For example, the provincial capital of nurin, or even Loulan city in Duwei, maybe it's still possible.

But imperial capital?

Not to mention running all the way for seven days and nights, will there be resistance and interception on the way

After all, the imperial capital is the most powerful city in the mainland. The famous giant magic array in the mainland and the magic gun on the city wall are not joking.

Once the magic array is opened, it is absolutely impossible to break, and you can only stare outside the city. In the next few days, his army will be surrounded by the army of the ground service king, and finally torn to pieces.

It's not a smart choice to attack the imperial capital, and it's not easy. This matter is of great political significance, but the actual harvest is very small.

In the past, the imperial capital often deployed troops in the east to defend itself from the eastward attack. However, whether it is Lu Gao or the imperial capital, it is clear that with Lu highland forces, it is impossible to attack and conquer the imperial capital.

The emperor is afraid of it. Just in case the emperor is besieged by the rebels. It will cause great panic and shake the prestige of the Empire.

Lugo was silent. He is satisfied with none of the opinions of the following generals.

Lu Gaodi has no staff and counsellors... Because he is very conceited. He thinks that as a disciple of the wizard king of Daxueshan, he has learned all about astronomy, geography, tactics and strategies. His own wisdom is enough for the northwest army. He does not need any staff.

Looking at the quarrel of these generals, lugao gradually lost his patience. He coughed hard: "OK!"

He stood up and looked at these generals. He was very disappointed. These guys are all things that lack the overall view... Well, except one person.

Lugao took a look at guhuadoro. This calm and silent middle-aged man. This is the most respected and trusted General of lugao.

Although his martial arts are not the best among the generals, some people even ridicule him for not being brave enough. However, it is still unable to shake the position of guhuadoro in lugao's heart.

"Guhuadoro, you stay, and the rest of you go away." Lu Gao made a decision, but he felt that he needed to stabilize the morale of the army, so he laughed a few times on purpose. Then he laughed at his generals and said: "OK! You don't have to worry too much... Hum, the Regent is just a little boy! Augustine VI, his father, has nothing to do with us. Can't we pick up the next little hairy child! Hum... Don't worry, though he's making so much noise now, he must be under a lot of pressure. I don't think he really dares to fight. Even if he does, once he suffers losses, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. This kind of young people are all impetuous and unstable, and as long as he loses his spirit, he will soften immediately. We've been in the Northwest for so many years. Who are we afraid of? "

After listening to these words, the generals could not help but regain some confidence in their commander-in-chief.

Then, after all the people left, lugao looked at guhuadoro standing below, and his face showed a faint worry.

"Well, guhuadoro, there is no one else now. Tell me what you think. "

"My Lord." The middle-aged man looked at his commander steadily, and then he asked a strange question: "do you think we have a chance to win this time?"

"..." Lu Gao stared at the most trusted subordinate. Then he told the truth: "it's small."

"I think it's small, too." Guvardoro nodded, slightly bowed, and then whispered, "the Empire has not failed us all the time. It's just that the Empire doesn't dare to fight, doesn't want to fight, and can't make up its mind. But now, when they're down, we've lost our trust. Once the war starts. With all due respect... No matter what the process is, perhaps with the bravery of our officers and men, or with the wisdom of your commander, we can achieve some victories, but... In the end, we are bound to fail. The only difference is that the duration is long or short. That's all

"And what do you think?"

Guvardoro closed his mouth, as if afraid to say.

"Say it. Guhuadoro, since I leave you alone, I want to hear your true thoughts Lu Gao light way.

"Regardless of the outcome." Guhuaduoluo shook his head: "may I ask you, general, what are your expectations? What is the ultimate goal? Is it the way to capture the family of brambles? Win the world? Take the throne? Or just want to make a big scene? Or are you willing to compromise to save your life? I think. Before I make any choice, I need to know what your goal is, general

Lugao's eyes are very serious: "Oh?"

"Of course. If you decide to take over the world and the family of brambles, then I know it's impossible, but I want to repay you for your kindness. I will try my best to do it until I die, though I don't think this goal can be achieved. If your goal is just to make a big noise, then I think it's a good way to move the army eastward and then trap the emperor. Even if you are defeated in the end, it's still a big noise, so that the mainland will always remember our name! If... You feel you have to compromise to save your life, then. I am willing to follow you to the death, even if you decide to throw the whole northwest army into the fire pit. "

Lugo is silent.

"You see, you haven't thought about it yourself. How can I answer your question?" Guhuadoro sighed. Then he reached out and picked up the military document on lugao's desk, tore it to pieces, and finally knelt down on one knee to lugao: "my Lord, my life is yours. Over the years. You know my secret, but you always keep me by your side. Trust me and reuse me. Even though my colleagues have some opinions on me, your trust in me has never changed. I have nothing to repay you, just my life. No matter what choice you make, I swear that I will stand by you before I die. "

This steady middle-aged man, his eyes at the moment, actually showed a few threads of madness. He even laughed at Lu Gao, then stood up, turned and walked out of the hall.

"My... Choice." Lugao frowned and thought for a while.

Then he burst out laughing.

"Prince Chen, if you want to play, then I will play a big game with you

With that, he grabbed the pen on the desk, and then quickly wrote down an official document, called out his soldiers to come in, and then let people quickly send this thing out.

This is an official document, and the content is very simple.

"The commander of the northwest army, Lu Gao, was ordered to immediately prepare for the change of defense."

He actually accepted the order of changing guard?!

After losing his pen, di lugao strode into the inner hall. Then he waved back his followers and went directly into the secret road in the inner hall. All the way down, he came to the underground tunnel. As soon as he entered the tunnel, he heard a roar like a wild animal. The voice was shrill and sharp, full of despair and anger.

At the end of the tunnel, there is a square stone room. Lugao stands at the door. The door of the room is an iron fence. As soon as he stands at the door, he sees a black figure in the stone house rushing towards here.

Boom!

The figure bumped into the iron fence, and the whole room was buzzing. Then he saw the man in it. His hair was covered with blood, and his whole body was covered with blood. He didn't know how many tiny scars there were. But on his face, under the blood, he was a pale and handsome face.

Sebastian, this is the major general of the northwest army, Sebastian!

Sebastian's eyes looked like a bloodthirsty beast. His hands grasped the iron fence door and shook it. The iron fence made a clattering sound. However, the young general could not say anything in his mouth. He just roared like a beast. There was not a trace of clearness in his eyes. It was killing and beast like ferocity.

Lu Gao stood outside the door, looking at his only son with deep sadness in his eyes. However, Lu Gao raised his hand and stroked his son's head through the iron fence

Suddenly, a flash of fire came out of his palm and hit Sebastian on the head. Sebastian immediately cried out like a wounded beast. The whole person rolled back and got up after rolling on the ground for a few times. However, his eyes were trembling. He did not dare to step forward, lay on the ground and looked at the door from a distance“ Poor son Lu Gao sighed: "where do you look like my son now! You've become a beast! A beast without human reason... I should have killed you. " Since the last attempt to kill baihechou and the Pope failed, Sebastian, who was beaten seriously by "Aragon" awakened by "coincidence", reluctantly recovered by "perfect body" and fled back to the northwest army. But what is the strength of "awakened" Aragon? It's a wonderful achievement of Sebastian's "perfect body" to be able to survive him. However, his "perfect body", which has fatal defects, will lose his sense if he uses transition. And barely recovered the injury, returned to the northwest army, perfect body side effects immediately broke out. Moreover, because of the treatment of Aragorn's wounds, the use of the perfect body has exceeded the limit of any time in the past. Sebastian was so crazy this time that even lugao's big snow mountain magic could not appease him. He became a beast full of lust for killing and destruction!! There is no human nature left behind, completely become a bloodthirsty beast! As a last resort, Lu Gao can only confine his son in the stone house, and he uses the magic of big snow mountain to arrange the array around the house, so that Sebastian can not display his strong fighting spirit and martial arts in the house. Otherwise, a stone house, how can he confine Sebastian with level 9 strength? At the moment, Sebastian has been locked up in this stone house for more than a year. He never sees the sun all the year round, and only howls like a wild animal every day. On the stone wall, he used his nails to scratch out traces one by one, while his ten fingers and nails were all raised, and the blood flowed, but he seemed to feel no pain. Lu Gao just stood outside the door, quietly looking at his only son, the only blood. Although he hated it on his face, there was deep sorrow in his eyes.
