Chapter 1120

I'd rather know a little about the military structure of xuanke Empire, but I didn't know it from Meng Ye. I heard that Sima Haiwei mentioned it casually when I was still in Xuelong empire.

In general, xuanke empire is similar to Xuelong Empire, and each area has its own military. In addition to the city defense forces, the rest are basically stationed as legions, with equal treatment for each other. However, all legions are subject to the transfer of Marshals in their respective districts. As a marshal, holding military autonomy, unless the emperor directly ordered, no one could intervene and mobilize his legion.

However, due to the fact that the overall shape of xuanke empire was narrow and long, the North-South span was large, and the East-West span was narrow, the situation of four marshals leading each side was not adopted. Instead, there were only two Grand Marshals in the north and the south, each of whom had only one elite guard. In wartime, they were able to directly mobilize all the legions under their jurisdiction to listen to orders.

That is to say, Xia Yun, the old man in front of him, was once the owner of half of xuanke Empire and one of the two marshals of the whole empire.

Ning Yue hurriedly saluted again and said, "it's my faux pas. I didn't expect that this crouching tiger, hidden dragon in Xingyuan city is still living in seclusion with the former Grand Marshal of the Empire."

"I don't live in seclusion here. At least the royal family knows it, as do many of my former colleagues and their descendants. But I don't care about the Empire any more. I'm just a wild crane. The defeated general of the past has been in the army for half of his life, and his blood debts are countless. It's not bad to be able to spend the rest of his life like this. But it seems that this time, more than one side intends to let me out of the mountain again. "

Xia Yun shook his head and sighed, spreading out his wrinkled hands.

"When I lost that year, I lost all my strength. Even though Zehan's cavalry swept the demon world, the other seven countries also bowed to the throne. However, I still can't forgive myself for being defeated like a mountain after I made bold words. At the moment of stepping on the city wall, the cheers of the soldiers and the people behind them, the panic in their eyes when the city was defeated and the anger when they looked at me. I was frustrated by the contrast. Victory and defeat are not common things for military strategists, but some of them are defeated, and there is no chance to come back again. "

Hearing this, Ning Yue sighed that he had never officially become commander-in-chief of the first army, nor could he know the strong contrast between this yearning and defeat. But it's a bit like bitterness. I've experienced it before. The pain is unforgettable.

"I think, before the city was broken, there were many reports of defeat, right? It was not the old Marshal's fault that Zehan was invincible. However, when all the troops retreated, and only the old marshal was still struggling to maintain the final dignity of the Empire, he also took on the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. There is no way back, only to fight hard and gamble on everything. Before the war, it carried the hope of the whole country. After the war, however, they have to face the accusations of thousands of people and bear the eternal curse. This pain, I dare not presume to understand, but can imagine that it is severe enough to destroy the bottom line of a hundred battle handsome. Frustrated, but normal. Moreover, the people of the Empire also need an explanation. "

"Not bad. I really didn't do enough, but those cowards who would only shrink in the rear and have no courage to go to the battlefield once are qualified to point out to me? But if I lose, I lose. I voluntarily resign from the position of Marshal and retire. I choose to live in this Xingyuan City, but I also want to stay in the northernmost part of the Empire. Occasionally, I can have a look at the battlefield that I once galloped, and remember how I fought side by side with you. "

After that, Xia Yun shook his head and laughed at himself.

"When people are old, they just like to recall things from the past. I've said so much to a boy I don't know. By the way, you haven't said, "why can you see that I come from the army?"

"The correct sitting posture, the old calluses in the fingers and palms, and the scars on the neck of the old Marshal's collar all show that you used to live in the army. The disdain and the scrutinizing manner when I entered the door were not the habit of junior officers. So I conclude that the position of the old marshal is not low. But I didn't expect that he would be the former Grand Marshal of the north. "

Light a smile, rather more slowly narrate. When I was in the snow dragon Empire, I had a lot of contact with Marshal Xi Yuan and marshal Bei yuan. I also spent some time in the army. I paid attention to some details. If it is not for this reason, I really don't know the identity of Xia Yun.

Xia Yun nodded back: "I see, there are some abilities. But still that sentence, only relying on this little cleverness, you want to shake the barriers of Xingyuan City, just like shaking the tree. "

"My reply won't change, just add one more sentence. With the help of the old marshal, I have a good chance of winning. Apart from other things, it should not be a coincidence that the designated restaurant for escorting troops is just like the old man's residence? I think it may not be that the senior secretly manipulated and deliberately assigned it. Maybe it is. The restaurant is actually owned by the senior. Usually many soldiers will go to the restaurant. Therefore, the officer who received the goods chose any one subconsciously and designated a place not far away. I think the elder bought a restaurant and often entertained the soldiers of Xingyuan city. It's not just to reward his colleagues, is it? From their chat at the table, they can collect a lot of information more or less, can't they? It's said to be a hermit and a wild crane. But I don't believe that you, who have been able to be the Grand Marshal of the north, can really put down the humiliation of defeat and be willing to ignore the world instead of proving yourself again. "

"Yes, that restaurant is my property. You are right. However, with the help of my network, it's easy to get all kinds of intelligence in the army. There's no need to collect it secretly. What's more, I'm really disheartened. I don't want to go to the battlefield any more. "

Smell speech, rather more hum a smile.

"I'm not serious enough. Yes, the old Marshal doesn't want to go to war again. Before you also said, choose to live in Xingyuan City, is to be able to remember once the extraordinary years. He also said that it is not allowed to lead wolves into the house. Then, with the defeat in the past, you will not want to see the junduo Empire, the former enemy, enter the territory of xuanke in this border city? In particular, officers and soldiers with the same resistance mentality were imprisoned. Is the old Marshal really not going to move? No matter whether the old marshal is willing to help or not, at least we young people who have never experienced or witnessed Zehan stepping into xuanke can't allow a similar scene to repeat in Xingyuan city. "

At the end of the speech, he turned and left. Just the corner of the mouth, slightly a pull.

In the heart, secretly in admire, really thanks to gagu can find Xia Yun such an important role, after his side of the action, must be able to smooth a lot. It's no wonder that he has a light look at the destruction of a 300 elite army like DIYing. Because, as long as there is a word from Xia Yun, there are far more troops that can be mobilized in Xingyuan city.

The chances of winning this battle are getting bigger and bigger.

As for whether Xia Yun will agree to move, there is no need to worry. In fact, he didn't have to be so excited. He would never allow the tragedy to happen again. What's more, can he really let go of half of his military life?

The old man is ambitious. In his old age, the martyrs were full of ambition.

Looking at the door closed by Ning Yue, Xia Yun suddenly grabs the book of war that he just read, but he falls heavily and looks up and laughs.

"Jiagu, the younger generation who can be as interesting as you are, really! Unfortunately, he was not a member of our xuanke empire. However, even he is willing to put all his eggs in one basket to defend xuanke's dignity, let alone me? "

When he pulled the desk drawer, he took out a brocade box of some age. When he opened it, what he saw was a pair of black jade tiger amulets. The talisman he used more than 20 years ago. With the retirement and the change of military talisman, the pair of tiger talisman also returned to his hands as a memorial.

It's also a witness to the pain of never allowing yourself to forget!

"It seems that you have made up your mind."

A voice rang out, but one side of the window was quietly opened, a middle-aged demon relies on the windowsill.

Glancing at him, Xia Yun hummed, "is it done?"

"Well. It's impossible to save that army. However, it is more than enough to save only one commander. Fortunately, the Deputy General of Ruijin camp, who was only thinking about the upper position, didn't know that my wrist guard was actually given by the emperor. The identity of the Royal knight was long gone. But like you old man, how could I ever put it down in my heart? "

"Yes, some of us are too presumptuous. Before we die, we want to make trouble. They probably forgot all about the glory and inheritance. It's necessary to reorganize. Bo Pu, go and inform those old friends. It's time to make a move. Before our old bones are completely rusted off! "

Bang!

But also at this time, the door was knocked open by the housekeeper, he saw Xia Yun moment, quickly knelt down to worship, not waiting for accountability, said in a hurry: "no good - he, he came to visit!"

"Who? Speak well

Xia Yun was stunned. After hearing the housekeeper's story, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Well, it's him? How dare you run to my house? Just tell me to meet him and see what the bastard wants to do! "

……

On the other side, some servants rushed into the hall where ningyue and his party were entertained. They waved and said, "everyone, my master has orders. Go and hide quickly. I can only be wronged for a moment, and I'm going to shrink into the cellar. "

"What's the matter? Is it hard to find out? "

Ning Yue is surprised. If the restaurant is owned by Xia Yun and Jiagu fails, it's not impossible to be held accountable. Just, since the other side knows the identity of Xia Yun, can also visit the door to ask a crime, the courage is too big.

Moreover, the possibility of exposure in kagu is really not high. It can't be done. It should be done.

"Yes, my master is working. Just in case, please hide first. "

"As your master, which army dares to come to search?"

Without moving, Ning Yue suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Don't ask. Let's go. Don't involve my master."

The servant's face was anxious, but after being stared by Ning Yue, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Yes... Your highness, he led the team himself."

Your highness! Ning Yue's eyes glared, and then a strange smile appeared on his face“ You mean, here comes the Regent, right here? "
