The Corsican Military Region is located next to the county of Sirtan, which was transformed from the former Imperial Administrative District into the Tema Military Region about 80 years ago.
The first governor of the military region, Juan Carros, was once a famous general of the empire at that time.
He has experienced two wars with the Odin, and has made outstanding achievements.
At that time, the Tema Military Region system had only been formulated for many years, and the system had not yet collapsed, and the whole empire believed that this was a good strategy to resist the invasion of the Odins.
Large-scale division of military districts in the north of the empire.
General Juan Carlos accumulated meritorious service and was made governor of the Corsican Military District.
After that, Corsica became a military district and was no longer owned by the imperial family, until eighty years passed.
Today, the Carlos family has occupied the Corsican Military Region for three generations, and the first Governor-General of the Military Region, Juan Carlos, has long since passed away.
The present viceroy of Ciceño Carlos is forty-one years old, in the prime of life, but ten years ago he suffered a serious illness, and his body collapsed, and he was bedridden for many years, and his two sons were in charge of all the affairs and military affairs of the military region.
The eldest son, Cardoso, was in charge, and the second son, Gaia, was in charge of the army.
Originally, the family of the governor of the military region was an actual warlord, and naturally attached the most importance to military power, but the Carros family, but the second son was in charge of the army, so naturally there was a hidden danger of seizing the heir.
However, the governor of Sicinio liked the second son more than the eldest son, and handed over the military power to this younger son at an early age, and the eldest son was helpless.
The Corsican Military Region was adjacent to the county of Siltan, which was originally the location of the Seventh Corps, and the Empire set up this central standing corps here, firstly, to defend the northern territory of the Empire, and secondly, to supervise the movements of the surrounding Tema Military Region.
But with the invasion of the Odins, the total annihilation of the Seventh Corps, and the occupation of Siltan County, the Corsican Military Region naturally had no constraints, as early as the beginning of the war in Osgilia, the Corsican Military Region was the first to issue an announcement in response.
The Corsican Military District is also a stalwart member of the "Red Round Table", the entire Corsican Military District, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and close to the northern grain-producing regions, has a standing strength of more than 20,000, the size of a fully formed corps.
At the outbreak of the war, Gaia, the second son of the governor, issued a mobilization order, and recruited another corps in one go, with a total strength of more than 40,000.
Originally, the eldest son Cardoso was not very happy, but seeing that the Seventh Army was annihilated by the Odin in an instant, the combat effectiveness of the Red Snow Army of the Odin was so amazing, and these fierce guys, the rebels were in the neighboring county, and tens of thousands of Odin people were entrenched at the doorstep, which also made the Carlos family feel a little uneasy.
After all, although there is a secret covenant, the Odin people are fierce and arrogant by nature, who can guarantee that these red-eyed Odin robbers will not be greedy and come across the border Gaia, the second son of the governor in charge of the army, was also quite heroic, and strongly advocated the border of the army to guard against the Odin.
But the old governor and the eldest son strongly advocated Huairou.
Thinking that at this time, there can be no over-the-top reaction, but it angered the Odin people and gave the Odin people an excuse to violate.
Although Gaia is dissatisfied, although he is in charge of the army, he is only a second son after all, and the old governor has been ill for many years, and he still has some influence, and he can't disobey his father's will.
After the old governor and his eldest son Cardoso defeated the Seventh Corps by the Red Snow Army, they sent two groups of people to Siltan County to meet with Manninger, the commander of the Red Snow Army, and also sent a large number of cattle, sheep, grain and grass, in the name of rewarding Odin's army, trying to appease these fierce Odin bandits in such a gentle way.
Manninger had just pacified the county of Siltan, and although he also coveted the wealth of the Byzantines, he was unable to do anything else during the rainy season, and the two sides still had an alliance after all, so he happily accepted these generous gifts.
For a time, the tense atmosphere between the two sides was greatly eased, and there was quite a posture of brothers and family.
The Rollo River is a river that runs through the Corsican region and the county of Siltan, and the upper reaches of the town of Rollo is the border between the two regions, the town of Rollo was originally a small population, with less than 2,000 inhabitants, relying on the fertile land of the riverside plain, and the agriculture is developed.
After the outbreak of the war, the Corsican Military Region originally stationed two flag regiments on the border with Siltan to maintain pressure on the Seventh Corps, but after the Seventh Corps was annihilated, in order to "take into account the overall situation" and win the trust of the Odin, they instead withdrew the two flag regiments.
Because of the important geographical location, the town of Luoluo is located in the upper plain of the river, surrounded by radiation grain production areas, and it is the end of spring ploughing, in order to ensure that there are no accidents in grain production, so the Corsican Military Region still left a battalion of troops stationed here, and at the same time, there is also a baggage transport team stationed in the vicinity less than 20 miles away.
Originally, after receiving the reward materials sent by Corsica, the Odin people also relaxed their defense of the border on both sides, and Manninger was still trustworthy, restraining the warriors in the tribe, and strictly ordered his subordinates not to cross the river into the Corsican military region, so as to avoid any accidents and frictions.
After nearly a month, the two sides were at peace, and gradually everyone relaxed, and even every day when the defenders in the town of Rollo patrolled along the riverside, the Odin warriors who were taking water from across the river waved hello.
In addition, when the weather is fine, the two sides send people to wade across the river and barter for trade.
This night, but there is something special, the rainy season has obviously ended, but this day from the afternoon, there is a large dark cloud in the north, the sky is also soon darkened, the weather is hot and humid, but the rain has never fallen, but the cloud seems to be getting lower and lower, and the sky is dark very early.
By the time it was time for dinner, it was completely dark, and the dark clouds obscured the starlight and moonlight in the sky.
The army garrison stationed at the west end of the town of Rollo had already rested early, and except for the soldiers who were patrolling the town at night, they heard only a gust of wind passing through the streets of the town, and blowing the curtains of some houses on both sides of the street.
In the middle of the night, the defenders were already slack and tired, but suddenly they heard a noisy sound in the east of the town, and the sound came from afar, as if it was mixed with the movement of the Jin Ge fighting, and there were faint screams.
Soon, in the darkness of the night, the sound of hurried hooves swept through the streets of the town like the wind.
Some of the inhabitants of the town were awakened, and some of them were bolder, and quietly opened the windows to peek out, but they saw that in the darkness, under the cover of night, a group of people galloped down from the town, and in the darkness, I don't know how many, but I felt that the mounts of these fellows were running, and the sound of hooves was dull, and the silhouette of the shadows that fell on the eyes did not look like horses, and those mounts had horns on their heads.
These people rushed into the town at a gallop, and did not stay in the town, but directly killed the garrison of the defenders to the west, and there were more than a dozen night guards who walked through the streets, and saw things from a distance, and before they could react, they were rushed in front of this group, and when they saw a heavy weapon such as a snowy tomahawk and a hammer raised, they smashed the heads of the oncoming patrol soldiers to pieces, and the rest of the people rushed and collapsed in the night, and before they could turn around and flee for their lives, they were trampled into pulp by the cavalry who swarmed after them The torches in the hands of the patrol soldiers fell to the ground, and by the light of the fire, I could see these cavalry who suddenly fell from the sky, all of them rode on the firstborn feet, the majestic reindeer with markings all over the body, and the riders on the horses were all burly and majestic, wearing short jackets, and the weapons in their hands were all heavy guys such as tomahawks, machetes, and rams, and only a few were wearing iron armor, and most of them were armed with leather armor.
The short sound of the fight was quickly drowned out by the sound of hooves, and the group swept like a dark cloud towards the defenders' garrison to the west of the town.
There are really no defensive fortifications in this station, but there is a slightly higher slope at the west end of the town, and the garrison is barely stationed here, and some simple sheds have been built, in order to save trouble, even the walled wall has not been done, only some baggage wagons are used to surround it, and it is barely regarded as a wall By the time the group rushed to the front of the station, many of the soldiers had not yet run out of the shed, and even those guarding the door were visibly panicked.
There was no gate at the entrance of the village, but two big tree poles were cut and made a partition beam, and the reindeer galloped over, and the rider took control of the mount lightly, and jumped over with a slight leap, and when he landed, the rider on the back of the reindeer dropped the axe and cut off the head of the soldier guarding the gate with a light and skillful hand.
Finally, when almost half of the brigade had rushed into the garrison, there were bursts of shouts from the camp.
"Enemy Attack" "The Odin Odin Kill is coming" This short shout was soon drowned out by the light of fire and the sound of shouting to kill, and there was a lot of food hoarded in the station, which was going to be sent away by a convoy in the next two days, and most of the three hundred defenders were killed, and a few escaped for their lives, and fled in all directions.
These guys who attacked at night did not pursue, but after killing the defenders, they immediately began to carry food.
Most of this grain has already been loaded into carts, and it is only necessary to put on the animals that pull the carts to walk.
The hundreds of reindeer cavalry began to retreat with dozens of carts of grain, and while it was nightfall, some people could see clearly, but they were heading in the direction of the river.

There was no large army of the Corsican military region near the town of Rollo, only a baggage transport battalion was stationed less than twenty miles away, and the defeated soldiers of Rollo town fled there, and this transport baggage battalion got the news, but where did they dare to go to the rescue, but they only ordered to guard the camp gate, and panicked all night, until dawn, seeing that the Odin people did not kill, this was barely reassured.
By the afternoon of the next day, hundreds of cavalry from the Corsican military district had come to the rescue from a small town fifty miles away, but by the time they came to the town of Rollo, the barracks had been destroyed, the grain had been carried out, and those who had not had time to move away had been burned.
After inquiring about some of the rout soldiers who had escaped for their lives, they all identified the other party as Odin.
Riding a reindeer, those warriors are all fierce and strong, burly, wearing Odin's leather coats and leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are also the heavy weapons used by the Odins The most important thing is that at night, it was clear that after seeing these guys after the robbery, they retreated in the direction of the river At this time, the army that came to the rescue knew that the matter was very important, and did not dare to make a decision on their own, so they hurriedly reported the matter to the top.
This kind of military situation, even if it is urgent, by the time it is reported to the Governor's Palace, it will already be another day.
And that very night, on the banks of the lower reaches of the Rollo River, a small city called Lean was also robbed by the Odin.
The news that came out of the newspaper was almost identical.
At night, a group of Odin cavalry did not know what method was used, after opening the city gate, a group of people forced into the city, and after setting a few fires in the city, they rushed into the city's government office, not only slaughtering the government officials, but also carrying all the tax money stored in the government office for this spring.
There were originally 500 defenders stationed outside the city, but these 500 defenders were all infantry, and by the time the defenders organized their forces to arrive, these Odinites had already finished their belongings and left the city.
These Odin people were very ferocious, and after leaving the city, seeing that Lean's garrison was chasing after them, they simply turned their heads and killed them.
Poor Lean's defenders are all infantry, and they hurried to the rescue when they got the news at night, and they didn't bring any heavy weapons at all, and it was a field battle, where was the opponent of the cavalry was crushed in less than a moment, and this group of Odin cavalry was even more arrogant and domineering, so they chased the defeated defenders and fought and ran around the city of Lean, only to kill the Li'an defenders and the rest of the five hundred defenders were less than one of them, so they swaggered away, and before leaving, they also put a fire under the city gate.
The news was soon sent to the Governor's Palace of the Corsican Military District, causing an immediate uproar In particular, Gaia, the second son of the governor, was suddenly furious, smashed the table on the spot, and scolded: "The Odin people are too arrogant for us to blindly tolerate it, and they also sent a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass, they are not greedy enough, and they actually came to rob us and kill our sergeant."
As he spoke, he said angrily to his brother who was sitting on it: "It's not all your idea, these Odin people have to inch in, a few days ago we showed weakness, but they thought we were easy to bully, this is really rushing to the door" The governor's eldest son, Cardoso, was also annoyed, but he was even more angry, because it was his idea to live in harmony with the Odin, but at this moment, the Odin people treacherously crossed the border and violated it, and immediately felt as if he had been slapped in the face.
He suppressed his anger, but he couldn't weaken his momentum in front of this younger brother, let alone admit his mistakes, but he just kept his mouth shut.
"I'm going to gather the army and lead it to the Lorro River myself," Gaia was about to go out, when Cardoso finally shouted, "Stop" "How" Gaia turned her head with a fierce expression on her face.
"The strategy of harmony with Odin was set by my father, do you want to rebel against my father's ideas" Cardoso said coldly: "My father is still sick, brother, you are not allowed to mess around."
After a pause, he said, "Send a clever man to Syltan to meet the leader of the Odin people to ask for their guilt, this time they broke the contract first, see what they have to say." ” Although Gaia was angry in his heart, he was also very dissatisfied with his brother, but after all, he was not a governor, and although his father was sick, he was still the lord of Corsica after all, so he could only hold back his anger: "Well, I want to see what these Odinites can say."
Here in the Corsican military district, Cardoso, after consulting with the old governor, sent two capable and clever men to Sirtan County and met Manninger.
Manninger read a letter of reproach written by the old governor of Karros, and was slightly puzzled, but then the thought in his heart changed to think that his soldiers stationed on the banks of the Rollo River had done it on their own initiative.
He is the patriarch of the Bashak tribe, so he naturally understands the spleens and surnames of these boys under his command.
These people came to invade Byzantium, all the way was too smooth, easily killed the Byzantine Seventh Corps, and also occupied the two counties of the flower world, where the land is fertile, the Byzantines are rich, copied a lot of rich nobles' homes, but also copied a lot of gold and silver treasures, the whole army is a great harvest, I just feel that there is no better object in the world than these Byzantine sheep to bully.
A few years ago, he got the reward materials sent by the Corsican side, although he also ordered that the people under his command were not allowed to cross the border to make trouble, but these guys under his command were usually unruly, maybe they were the boys along the way, looking at the wealth of the Corsican military region on the other side, and under the red eyes, it was not strange that he quietly led people across the border to see such a vote.
The Odin people have always been respected by the strong, whose fists are hard and whose knives are bright, they will naturally be respected.
These guys have been depressed for too long, maybe someone below has violated their orders, and it is not too surprising to do this kind of thing.
Manninger is familiar with the spleen and surname of the Odin warriors under his command, and he has long been accustomed to it, Odin was born in the northern country, even if it is between the same tribes, there will be occasional fights, this kind of small thing, if it is placed in the clan, he will just smile and pass, and he will not hold anyone accountable at all.
According to the custom of the Odin, if you are robbed, you can only blame yourself for being too weak, and you deserve it, and no one will sympathize with you and pity you at all.
If you are weak and backward, you will be beaten, and in the eyes of the Odin, it is simply a matter of course.
The only thing that made Manninger a little unhappy was that these little cubs below, since they had done such a vote and got the benefits, they actually swallowed it privately, and according to the customs of the tribe, they went out to loot the spoils, but they had to think that the clan elders contributed a part.
These guys have done such a vote, I'm afraid that they have gained a lot of fat in one bite, but they actually get bored, and they are a little nonsense.
I think it's because I gave a military order not to cross the border, and these kids below are hindered by the military order, so they don't dare to report it to themselves.
Since Manninger decided so in his heart, all the remaining doubts were eliminated, but he thought in his heart that he would go back and knock and knock the restless boys below, robbing or robbing, but he still had to hand over the spoils according to the rules, and the rules in the tribe could not be broken.
As for the envoy sent by the Corsican Military District, Manninger only dealt with it casually, only deniing that he knew about the situation, and there was no evidence of such a thing.
Speaking of evidence, the people sent by the Corsican Military Region immediately realized that this Odin leader was probably going to deny it.
The sneak attack of the Odin did a very clean job, every time they came at night, grabbed a ticket and ran, and when fighting, even if there was damage, they never left prisoners. will not abandon his companions, as for the evidence, not even a single hair of the other party has been caught, where to say that the evidence is as for the witnesses, after all, there is no comment Manninger looked at the face of the other party's messenger, and his heart suddenly calmed down, thinking that although these boys below are a little reckless, they are still doing things cleanly, but they also make me less troublesome.
Besides, Manninger is also a mind, as the patriarch, he is naturally protective of his shortcomings, and he originally saw that these Byzantines were weak and could be bullied, and his subordinates robbed them, even if they violated their own orders, it was their own patriarch who closed the door and dealt with them by himself, where could these weak Byzantines come to ask for guilt At that time, Manninger sank his face and said angrily: "Since there is no evidence, how can you say that I, the Odin warrior, did such a false accusation, aren't you afraid of breaking the covenant between the two families?"
The envoy of the other party was speechless, but he insisted on one thing: after the battle, naturally some people saw clearly, and there was no doubt that the person who attacked must be the Odin warriors, not only the Corsican soldiers could testify, but also many civilians and civilians could see it.
Manninger listened, that is, he smiled coldly: "Since there is a witness, you brought it and confronted me face to face."
These words also made the Corsican envoy lose his temper and ran into front of the commander of the Odin, who didn't know that this Manninger was a murderer who slaughtered thousands of prisoners of war in the Seventh Legion without even blinking an eyelid.
Such a fierce person, who would dare to come to him face to face and confront him "This" Seeing the envoy's words, Manninger's face sank even more, and he shouted angrily: "Hmph, I don't even dare to confront you, naturally you are weak-hearted, and I don't know where the bandits came from to rob you, you don't have the ability to catch the thieves, but you are planted on our Bashak people I see that your Corsican army is also pus, hmph, for the sake of the two alliances, if you don't have the ability to suppress the thieves yourself, I, as an ally, might as well send troops across the river to help you maintain law and order."
The last thing I said was faintly threatening When the messenger heard this, Manninger was going to send troops to cross the river, but he was afraid that once the Odin army crossed the river, the thieves would be fake, and the land grabbing would be real.
Manninger's face sank like water, he was the head of a clan, the commander of thousands of troops and horses, and the commander of the army, killing people was not counted, naturally there was a killing majesty, bluffing the messenger of Corsica with a face like earth, only promised, where to dare to accuse anything could only swallow this breath helplessly, and went back. drove away the Corsican envoy, but Manninger only smiled and ordered: "Go down and ask which little cub did a good deed, hehe, send someone down to scold a few words, and the things that were snatched back, according to the rules of the tribe, should be handed over." ” Naturally, his subordinates went down to investigate, but they asked all the camps below, but they didn't ask a single doorway.
Manninger listened to the report, said that he didn't find it, and he didn't care, but just smiled: "These boys are getting more and more cunning."
Forget it, probably because they were afraid that I would punish them for violating military orders, so no one dared to admit it.
Tell the people below to be careful in the future. ” He said this casually, to be honest, Manninger was satisfied at this time, and he didn't regard offending a Corsican military region as a big deal, he knew the overall situation, these Byzantine rebel warlords would never dare to turn their faces with Odin at this moment, and Odin's army had already occupied four counties in northern Byzantium, and more than 100,000 male soldiers were at the door of the other party's house, where did they dare to turn their faces with themselves The battle in Osgilia is not over, these Byzantines, it's too late to tie themselves up.
Manninger's order was to "do things carefully", but did not reiterate what "no crossing the river to loot", the guys from the Odin battalion below had been depressed for a long time, and at this moment I heard that the brothers of a battalion crossed the river to rob and made a fortune, and they had not been punished, so the patriarch reprimanded them so casually.

Suddenly, everyone's minds came alive.
Besides, the patriarch has said "do things carefully", does it mean that you can rob it, but you have to do it cleanly, just leave no handles Although the Chixue Army has gained a lot since going south, who would have too much money for such a thing For a while, everyone was secretly gearing up and saying that after the Corsican envoy returned, he would report what happened in the Manninger camp, and the governor's palace in Corsica was also annoyed.
When the old governor heard the news from his hospital bed, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and the eldest son Cardoso, who was in charge, was silent for a long time, and finally dropped the teacup in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
This Odin is so unsightly, Cardoso is naturally helpless, but then a person sent by his father sent an order: no unauthorized movement is allowed in various places, in case the Odin people start a war under the pretext of the Odin.
He also sent someone to instruct a sentence: the overall situation is important, as long as the battle situation in Osgilia has a result, naturally there is no fear of anything.
The old governor sent someone to convey this to his second son Gaia, probably because the old governor knew that his second son's surname was violent, and sent someone to give him another order: The army must not move without permission, and if there is a move, it must go through his own warrant The old governor was naturally kind-hearted, but he didn't know that his youngest son had a different mind.
It turned out that Gaia was in charge of the Corsican Military Region, and he originally relied on his old father to love him.
But the old governor has been sick in bed for many years, and he is in charge of the army outside, but the eldest brother stays in power, and the eldest son Cardoso is also a smart man, serving in front of the bed, and gradually redeeming the feelings of the old governor, and the balance gradually favors the eldest son.
It's just that after all, the second son has led the army for many years and already has a certain amount of power in the army, even if the old governor wants to cut the second son's military power at this moment, he has some scruples, which has dragged this situation to this day.
At this time, the old governor was kind, for fear that his youngest son would indiscriminately transfer troops and horses and cause friction with the Odin, so he said a sentence "The transfer of the army must have a warrant from the governor", which fell on Gaia's ears, but he had a different reaction: Could it be that my father wants to take the opportunity to seize my military power and support my eldest brother to take the throne He pretended to be obedient on the surface, but secretly summoned his henchmen and sent everyone down, instructing everyone to take charge of the army "without my own order, not even my eldest brother, or the governor's warrant" These henchmen and generals are all henchmen he has cultivated for many years, and his future has long been tied to him, knowing that if Gaia loses power, his people will definitely be rejected by the eldest prince, so he naturally accepts the order without hesitation.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "If the young general comes to provoke the Odin again, how should we deal with it, is it to hold the camp or" Gaia was a tough surname, and immediately said angrily: "This still needs to ask them how to fight, how we will beat back back, our Corsicans are all shrunken turtles, were robbed of things, killed people, and did not dare to resist?"
He also had a thought in his heart: just take the opportunity to firmly grasp the power of the army, in case his father and eldest brother do anything.
This is a more sensitive period, once the war situation in Osgilia has a result, the Byzantine royal family is destroyed, and each family will be the kingdom of Reading Power from now on.
Although he has military power, he is not the heir of the family after all, so if he doesn't take the opportunity to gain a firm foothold and firmly grasp the military power, how will he mix it up in the future It is best to let the father and the eldest brother see the situation clearly and know that the army is in their own hands, and it is best for the father to make a choice, abolish the eldest brother, and make himself the heir, which is once and for all.
In a mountain forest on the upper reaches of the Rollo River, among the dense woods, there are some secret sentinels hidden in the treetops at the edge of the woods, in the woods, Char is surrounded by a group of horse thieves, and a map of Corsica and Siltan County is spread on the ground, Char took a branch and compared it for a while, and said with a smile: "We have made two troubles, and both sides can actually bear it, it seems that the strength of this fanning is not enough, and we have to do another big vote." ” After a pause, there was a cavalry leader next to him and smiled: "Uncle, Lord Char, these Corsican troops are too, since we pretended to be Odin and beat them, they don't dare to fight back to retaliate against the Odin, why don't we go and attack the Odin, those Odins are all hot-tempered, just a little bit, isn't it much easier than teasing these timid Corsicans" Char shook his head when he heard this: "The Corsicans are weak, we go to attack them, and they don't dare to chase them too much."
After all, we are alone, only a few hundred people.
If someone finds a trace, I'm afraid everyone will be buried.
To provoke the Odin, the danger of exposure is too great.
And there are no good opportunities either. ” After a pause, he explained: "The system in the army of the Odin is loose and crude, we pretend to be Odin to sneak attack the Corsicans, even if the Odin people know the news, they will be confused for a while, and they can't figure out who did it, but they are afraid that they really think which part of their own people did it."
It is precisely because of the loose system within the Odin that we can fish in troubled waters.
This Corsica is different, if we pretend to be Corsican to sneak attack Odin's army, as soon as the news comes out, the Corsican army is built according to the Byzantine military system, with clear levels above and below, and you can find it out if you check carefully.
When the time comes, we'll be exposed. ” The people lurked in the woods for two more days, and anyway, they came back from a few days of grabbing a lot of food, and there was no shortage of food.
After hiding for two days, a scout from outside came back to report the news, which immediately made Char very happy It turned out that the Corsicans did not retaliate, but the Odin people moved It turned out that the Odin people had long wanted to cross the river to make a fortune, and they had been enduring under Manninger's military orders.
A few years ago, Char and others pretended to be Odin to sneak attack the Corsican army on the other side, Odin was confused, and he didn't know which good man in his tribe did it, originally everyone wanted to get rich, suffering from the patriarch's order, and there was no one to take the lead, and finally someone took the lead, and the patriarch did not do anything strict internal investigation and punishment because of his shortcomings, but it inspired everyone's minds.
In less than three days, three more Odin squads stationed on the banks of the Rollo River crossed the river at night and attacked the villages and towns of Corsica, grabbing a lot of loot.
There was also a group of unscrupulous men, who were no more than a hundred people, surrounded a village, sent people to block it at both ends, and then went from house to house to confiscate property, and the result was a full night, and at dawn, the nearby Corsican army finally sent troops, but this group of Odin was not afraid, less than a hundred men, and confronted two battalions of Corsican army, only to think that these Corsicans were as weak as the other Byzantines.
Unexpectedly, the Corsican army of these two battalions that came was a descendant of Gaia, and they had already received Gaia's order to fight back if the Odin invaded again As a result, the two sides really fought Although the Odin people are fierce and fierce, but after all, the number is only a hundred, and the other side is two integrated battalions, after a fierce battle, more than half of the Odin people were killed and wounded on the spot, and only five or six ran back, and everyone was wounded.
This time, it suddenly caused a sensation in the entire Chixue Army With the surname of Odin, I can rob you, but if you dare to kill my people, then it will not work Suddenly all the armies were stirred, although Manninger knew that his side was to blame, but he was now in the limelight, where he was willing to give in, he immediately gathered a large army on the banks of the Rollo River, and put on a posture to cross the river.
In fact, although Manninger made a fierce posture, he also knew that the overall situation was important, and he could not really start a war with the Corsican Military Region.
It's just a show to scare the other party, as long as the other party relents, sends someone to send a lot of money, and then introduces a few scapegoats, he will take the opportunity to step down.
The problem, however, is that Corsica is not unified internally With the meaning of the old governor and Cardoso, they naturally did not want to go to war with the Odin, and just as Manninger thought, send a sum of money, and push out a few scapegoats, and settle the matter.
But the problem is that it's okay to send a batch of property, but this scapegoat can't be pushed out The leader of the army and the Odin fought fiercely, it was Gaia's descendant Gaia who gained a foothold in the Corsican military district, he was the youngest son, according to the Byzantine tradition, he had no inheritance in the first place, and relied on the support of these descendants in the army.
If at such a time, he handed over his descendants as scapegoats, wouldn't it chill the hearts of his henchmen, so who will faithfully follow him in the future?
Gaia naturally did not back down, and even simply left the governor's palace and moved to the barracks of his descendants' army, putting on a resolute and uncooperative attitude.
And the old governor wanted to send people to arrest people in the direct army, but there was no way, Gaia had already ordered, in addition to his warrant, even the old governor's orders could not be obeyed Although the old governor also controlled some of the troops of his descendants, after all, he took into account the overall situation, and he could not do anything to let his descendants' troops crusade against his younger son's troops, and it would be foolish to start a civil war at such a time.
It can be seen that although the old man is seriously ill, he is not dizzy.
This time, before the Odin people came to fight, the interior of Corsica was in chaos first. was so angry that the old governor vomited two bowls of blood on the bed, but he didn't expect that he was getting old, but he was given power by his own son.
The old governor was angry, and his eldest son, Cardoso, was terrified The current posture seems that the military power is in the hands of his younger brother, and if his younger brother takes the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, he will not be able to kill himself in an instant After all, the old father still has a father-son relationship with his younger brother, and even if the younger brother launches a coup d'état, he will never harm the old father's surname.
But it's different for yourself, if your younger brother launches it, the first one to kill must be yourself Moreover, when it comes to making a choice, although his father still has a little military power, he will not tear his face with his younger brother for the sake of his own real cardoso knows that although his father is sick, he is not deaf, for the sake of the family's great cause, when it comes to making a choice, he would rather sacrifice himself than see the family split and fight a civil war.
At this time, a staff member gave Cardoso a suggestion: "My lord, the current situation is nothing more than the persecution of the Odin army, what are we doing here, the little boy is holding on to the military power and not letting him go, after all, he is not the governor, and if he does this, the governor will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart."
As long as the Odin people outside withdraw, the little boy will have no excuse to continue to grasp the military power.
In the current situation, we must buy time, as long as we can temporarily retreat from Odin, our internal can naturally be slowly rectified.
The Governor must also be dissatisfied with the little boy.
It's just that due to the persecution of the Odin, I have to support the little boy at the moment, once the Odin people retreat" Cardoso's eyes lit up suddenly, he weighed it for a while, and finally made up his mind: "If you want the Odin people to retreat, it seems that I have to go in person As the eldest son of the governor, I went to see Manninger in person, which can be regarded as giving the Odin people a lot of face, and the Odin people don't mean to really tear their faces with us, as long as I go in person, Manninger has a step, and naturally retreats." ” The subordinates around him were shocked: "It's not okay for you to go there in person I heard that these Odin people are fierce and cruel, and that Manninger is a guy who kills people without blinking."
You're going to go like this, in case something goes wrong."

Cardoso gritted his teeth: "The current situation is urgent, if I don't go, I'm afraid it's a dead end, it's better to fight, as long as I can persuade Manninger to withdraw the army, the old ministers in the governor's palace will look up to me, even if it is Gaia, I can't say whether I will be a rich or a prisoner in the future, it depends on this fight."
After a pause, he instructed his henchmen: "I'll go quietly, don't make a noise about the news, take a detour, don't go to the defense area of the troops under the command of Gaia, lest anyone harm me" This Cardoso is also a decisive character, and after making a quick decision and making proper arrangements, after Cardoso met the old governor that night, he quietly went on the road with a hundred and ten guards.
"Uncle, Uncle" In the woods, Char was holding a skinned rabbit in his hand and grilling on the fire, and said with a smile: "This barbecue pays attention to a fire, when Lao Tzu was in the mountains, what meat was not roasted" There are a few horse thieves around him, Char is bragging about how he fought the glorious history of tigers and leopards in the mountains when he was talking about the eyebrows flying, he heard a horse thief running in and shouting, Char's face was pale, and he was annoyed: "What are you shouting about your aunt and uncle?"
"That, my lord" The horse thief laughed and lowered his voice: "The business has come to the door, on the road east of the forest, there is a team of more than ten big cars, the wheel prints are very deep, it seems that there are a lot of things we are familiar with this doorway, the car is heavy or light cargo, a few hundred steps apart, at a glance, you can guess not far from ten."
This team of people is such a fat sheep."
Char rolled his eyes, pointed at this guy and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you guys, have you forgotten your identity Now you are not horse thieves, you are Byzantine officials."
Why did you think of doing this robbery again?"
The horse thief grinned: "Those big carts, I have looked carefully, they have the mark of the Corsican army on them, and they seem to be transporters who don't know what they are transporting."
There is a luxurious carriage in the back, surrounded by many guards, I think it is a big man."
Char's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw away the barbecue in his hand, clapped his hands, wiped the black ash of the barbecue on his face, wiped his face like a grimace, and then whistled and laughed: "Brothers, the business is coming to the door."
