"Where is the general going?"
As soon as these words came out, Green's eyes suddenly became cold, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at Sophie's eyes tightly, as if they were about to penetrate people However, this look faded in an instant, Green quickly calmed down, and the evil on his face dissipated, and the eyes looking at Sophie gradually calmed down, and finally, the corners of his mouth tugged, revealing a mocking smile.
The young girl raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "General Green, I actually admire you very much. ” "Admire me," Green frowned.
"Yes."
Sophie looked sincere, looked at Green with clear eyes, and said slowly: "You were born in the Yanjing Military Academy, and you were once the youngest and most promising military hero in the empire, even the Duke of Minas praised you, saying that you may be his most outstanding disciple Fourteen years ago, you have served in the Rhodria Corps, participated in two wars against Odin, starting from a cavalry commander, but in two years, you have accumulated military merits, and you have been promoted all the way to the flag officer of the flag regiment."
If I'm not mistaken, General Adric was far from famous when you were the flag officer in the Rodria Cavalry Corps.
The first time you were a battalion officer, you led 300 elites to attack the logistics stronghold of the Odin people and burned the baggage of the Odins.
The second war you experienced against Odin, when you were already the flag bearer, was not in my favor.
The main force of the empire was thwarted, and the Rodria cavalry corps was ordered to intercept Odin's pursuers and cover the retreat of the large army.
It was you again, personally leading more than a thousand cavalry, with a near-suicidal harassment, to intercept the pursuers of a legion of Odinites layer by layer, but finally won the time for the army to retreat after 300 miles, and forcibly delayed the pursuers of a legion of Odinites for fifteen days.
After that war, you were already one of the most outstanding generals of the younger generation of emperors at that time.
Almost everyone agrees that you will be promoted to the new commander of the Rodria Cavalry Corps Throughout the history of the Imperial Army, in the past two hundred years of the Empire, there were a total of 37 people who were finally appointed to the rank of Imperial Marshal, and 33 of them had served as the commander-in-chief of the Rhodrian cavalry.
But all those who have served as generals of the Rhodria Cavalry Corps have been promoted to the top of the military department without exception, and the lowest has been appointed as a senior officer at the level of the chief commander, so to speak, once he is appointed as the general of the Rhodria Cavalry Corps, it is equivalent to paving a road to the high-level position of the emperor, such as the current imperial minister General Adric, such as the Duke of Minas, who has served as the general of the Rhodria Cavalry Corps.
If it weren't for the fact that you later aroused the jealousy of the warlords' party, got in the way, and almost forcibly transferred you out of the Rhodrian cavalry, I am afraid that today you would have been the imperial minister.
To put it mildly, if that's the case, I'm afraid General Adric wouldn't have the opportunity he has now."
When Green heard this, he frowned and shook his head: "You admire me, even if you refer to these hums, there is nothing to say." ” "That's not what I admire about you."
Sophie shook her head, and her eyes actually became softer and softer: "Fourteen years ago, when you served as the flag officer of the Rodria Cavalry Corps, that is, in the second war against Odin that you participated in, you finally led more than a thousand elite horsemen and was ordered to intercept Odin's pursuers. ” Green was stunned and looked at Sophie in some surprise.
Sophie took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My father's name is Feric, and he was a battalion officer at that time."
"Ferick" Green groaned slightly, nodded, and looked at Sophie with a frown: "Ferick I remember him, he is the battalion officer of the third battalion under my command, he is a brave soldier, a very good officer, I remember he speaks with a southern accent, we all like to call him a southerner."
I didn't expect you to be his daughter."
"Yes, my father is Feric."
Sophie sighed and said in a low voice: "He told me about the tragedy of the battle, your more than 1,000 cavalry and Odin's pursuers fought for 300 miles, and when they finally received the news that they could evacuate, more than half of the personnel had been killed or wounded, and then you were targeted by the reindeer cavalry brigade of the Odin, and my father once advocated taking a small group of men and horses to stay behind and cover the evacuation of others, but you, as the chief officer, insisted on staying in the broken army and fighting side by side with your father."
In that battle, the two hundred warriors who broke off only returned alive and seventeen horsemen.
My father was seriously wounded, but on the battlefield, you did not abandon him, but fought in a bloody battle, snatched him out of the siege, and finally the war horse died, you and your father rode a war horse to fight their way out of the siege, and when you finally ran back, both of you were covered with scars, and the weather was cold, and you ran all the way down, your two bodies were stuck together, the wounds and blood were coagulated together, and the doctors who rescued you could not separate the two of you, or had to cut your flesh and skin with a knife.
I finally separated the two of you.
In that battle, my father saved his life thanks to you, and he told me that you were the best commander he had ever seen in his life. ” Hearing this, Green nodded silently: "Thank him for such a compliment, well, how is your father now, is he still alive?"
"It's a pity."
Sophie said slowly: "Although my father came back from the battlefield alive that time, because of his injuries, he had to amputate the calf of his right arm and left leg in the end, and he had to leave the army.
Later, because his body was too weak, his old injuries were difficult to heal, and he died in less than a year.
At that time, I was still young, but thanks to the mercy of my teacher, he adopted me into my family and took me as a disciple. ” Green listened and let out a long sigh: "Feric, it's a pity that he's dead, it's a pity that he's a good man."
I remember him as the bravest officer I ever had, and I wouldn't have entrusted such a dangerous task to his troops.
After that battle, I came down from the battlefield, was also seriously wounded, and was sent to Yanjing for treatment, but unfortunately, some people in the military headquarters were unwilling to let me continue to stay in the Rhodrian cavalry, and before my injuries were healed, those bastards gave me a charge of being stubborn and delaying the warplane, and put me in a military court, and finally it was my teacher who came forward to protect me, so I was urgently transferred out of the north and to the local troops in the eastern part of the empire.
I left in such a hurry that I wrote to my former colleagues and comrades-in-arms afterwards, and also asked about your father's news, but unfortunately I never heard back.
Alas, fourteen years have passed since the events of the past. ” "Yes."
Sophie nodded, looked at Green, and said solemnly: "That's why I say that I have deep admiration for you. ” "Hmm."
Green seemed to smile bitterly: "Chief of staff don't have to be too polite, Ling Zun is my subordinate officer, and he and I are life and death robes on the battlefield, if it were him, he would definitely try his best to save me."
Moreover, Your Excellency first studied under Lord Cavihill, and now serves as the chief of staff of General Char in the north, which can be regarded as living up to the prestige of Lingzun. ” Talking about the past years, unconsciously, the originally stiff atmosphere seems to have eased a lot.
Sophie smiled faintly: "General Green, it is because I respect you that I have to chase you tonight." ” "The chief of staff really doesn't know where I'm going" Green said lightly: "Since you can chase here, naturally everything about me has been guessed by you, why bother to ask such a sentence on purpose."
Hmph, if you really think that I'm going south, I'm afraid it's not the two of you who are chasing here, but a team of iron horsemen.
Hmph, I know that this Juncker General used to be the leader of the Royal Night Forest, and since he joined Char, he may have trained an elite army. ” Sophie seemed to smile: "The general said that he was joking." ” The two glanced at each other, and both tacitly chose to keep their mouths shut at the same time.
Sophie is certainly extremely smart, but Green is not a stupid person Both of them knew very well in their hearts: if Green really chose to go south and wanted to go south to Yanjing to join the Duke of Minas, then Sophie is afraid that she is really coming with a team of elite pursuers now If Green really defected from the Northern Army to the south, if he really let Green return to Yanjing and defect to the side of the Duke of Minas, it would be a fatal blow to the entire Northern Garrison, a new group It can be said that when Green appeared publicly under the command of Duke Minas of Yanjing, it was probably the collapse of the Northern Army's group Green has outstanding prestige in the Northern Army, second only to Char, and for those high-ranking officers from the Central Army, I am afraid that the prestige is even greater than Char's After all, in the Northern Army, Char's prestige is more established in the cavalry troops.
And if Green, the leader and core figure of the Northern Army, left quietly, and finally appeared next to Duke Minas of Yanjing, then I am afraid that most of the lieutenant generals and leading officers in the Northern Army who were originally born in the Central Army will waver and waver, and even the core of one of the founders of the Northern Army like Green has defected to the Duke of Minas, and there are not a few other people, who are afraid of learning the same Therefore, even Green himself couldn't help but think: If he really wants to leave, then he must not let himself run to the side of the Duke of Minas in Yanjing in the south alive, even if he intercepts himself halfway, it is better than letting himself appear in Yanjing openly After all, killing himself is a big deal to plant himself with a crime of defection, although it will also shake the morale of the army, but there is always room to clean up the matter, if he let himself run to Yanjing alive, wouldn't it set a living "example" for future generations Therefore, a dead "mad dog" is better than a Green who appeared alive in Yanjing.
I believe that you are not going to the south, so you did not bring troops to intercept and kill.
This is Sophie's subtext.
How Green didn't understand At this moment, the night breeze gradually rose, Sophie ran all the way, the original thin clothes on her body had already been soaked with sweat, she couldn't help but shiver twice, moved to the fire, picked up the wine bag on the ground, unscrewed it and drank two more sips, and then looked at Green: "General, you are leaving, I don't want to forcibly stop it, I know, you will not really do anything sorry for the Northern Army, sorry for Char, but I come here tonight, I always have a few words to say." ” "I know that the chief of staff comes here in the middle of the night, and he doesn't leave easily.

Well, if you have anything to say, just say it.
Green frowned.
Sophie nodded and stared at Green: "Dare to ask the general, what do you do and evaluate the comeback of the Duke of Minas this time?"
Green snorted: "The Duke is the pillar of the emperor and the elders, and at this moment, the national crisis is at the head, and with a military leader like him coming forward to take charge and turn the tide, he can naturally integrate the hearts of the upper and lower armies and make our army" "Hmph, General, do you believe this?"
said Sophie, unceremoniously interrupting Green.
Green's eyes widened, as if he wanted to retort, but his lips opened, but he finally didn't say a word.
Because of these words, it is just a matter of deceiving the middle and lower ranks of the army who do not know, and it is simply a joke for people like them.
"The Duke of Minas is certainly the elder of the Emperor, and I originally respected the Duke very much."
Sophie sighed: "But Lord Duke, after all, Lord Duke, his identity is not only a soldier of the empire, but also a duke, he is not only burdened with the mission of a soldier, but also with a surname and the responsibility of a family, so many things, I am afraid that he can't help himself." ” When Sophie said this, she seemed to smile deliberately, and said lightly: "The comeback of the Duke this time, whether it will affect General Adric's status in the army, not to mention, whether it is to seize power with the help of the balance of the royal family, I will not make an evaluation."
I just want to say one thing: if the Duke is really dedicated to the Duke, then at the beginning of his tenure, he sent someone to send a secret letter to the north, and it was delivered to you through some unsightly channels" Sophie paused deliberately and said lightly: "General Green, don't you often say that if there is no ghost in your heart, you can't say anything to others?"
"You are presumptuous" Green suddenly became angry, jumped up, glared at Sophie angrily, and shouted: "The little girl is presumptuous and nonsense, Lord Duke has worked hard for the country all her life, how can you, a little woman, slander her" In the face of Green's anger, Sophie was not afraid at all, met his eyes, and said lightly: "General, I am just talking about things, and I have never slandered the Duke in a word.
It's not my words, it's your motto. ” Greene was speechless.
If you want to talk about bickering, where is he, an upright soldier, a rival to a learned and talented disciple like Sophie, who has been trained by Cavishir "What the Duke did, how much of it is public, how much selfishness, I won't make an evaluation, compared to your own heart."
Sophie sighed: "I only regret one thing, but unfortunately it is a pity, my father admired you to the death of the emperor, and I respect you very much."
I think that a few years ago, when you served in the Eastern Army, you once angrily exposed the shady curtain of embezzlement of military funds in the Imperial Logistics Department, and even angrily reprimanded the then powerful military logistics chief, Count Moriak, who almost drew a sword and killed this evil leader on the spot.
Isn't it a sigh that General Green, a selfless tough guy in the past, has now transformed into a coward who puts selfishness above justice?"
"I" Green's face was pale, his fingers trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath, as if he couldn't bear Sophie's eyes, and twisted his head away with force.
"The Byzantine Empire is declining, and the Osgilian counteroffensive is only the first dawn, but the situation is erosive, and in fact, it has not seen much improvement.
The governors of the military districts still occupy most of the territory of the empire, the foreign enemies of the Odin people are eyeing the enemy, and they are still in the west and east of Noz County, although the northern army has General Char Shenwu and recovered Siltan County, but after all, the military is exhausted, and the northern army has only been in the army for two years, although the limelight is strong, but after all, it is a start-up, it can be said that it is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, at this time, you withdraw and leave, although the fight is not involved, stay out of the mind, but this is the case with the whole empire, you alone, can you really get out of the matter?"
Green remained silent.
"I know that the Duke of Minas is your teacher and has a great affection for you, but you are certainly his student, and you are also an imperial general, a general of Byzantium, and at any time, I ask you to remember: you are a Byzantine first, and then his disciple" Sophie said coldly: "When Osgilia fell, I was in Yanjing at that time.
In the past, the first male city on the mainland was burned by the rebels, and most of the city became ruins, and the rebels burned and looted in the city, and did all kinds of evil, such as the late General Span, who died in battle on the imperial city like General Adric, and defended the triumphal arch with the remnants of the army.
"I" Green closed his eyes.
"You don't know, I can tell you."
Sophie said lightly: "At that time, the rebels entered the city, and the duke ordered the door of the palace to be closed, and outside the palace, the rebels blocked the streets, but did not invade the duke's palace.
As a pillar of the emperor's patriarch, the Duke is obscure, and he really stays out of the matter and allows the rebels to do evil in the city, he, the Duke who has been a high-ranking official of the empire all his life, continues to be his tumbler behind closed doors, and even the little Duke Roddy, who is full of blood, wants to take his relatives out to fight to the death with the rebels, but he was almost broken by the duke's legs, tied up and locked up, such an imperial marshal, such an imperial duke, such an imperial pillar, ridiculous" When Sophie said this, her tone gradually became excited: "General Green, when General Spann died in the imperial city, when General Adric and his soldiers had no food and clothing, and when he was defending the triumphal arch in the heavy snow, when General Ruhr was fighting with less than dozens of generals and rebels in the city, this Duke of Minas was in his own mansion, and there were rebels outside the door to guard the door for him, and he ate the food that the rebels brought him, and sometimes, I couldn't help but think about a question."
"What's the problem," Green's voice was a little weak.
"I thought: if the Rantis did not arrive in time and joined the fall of the Imperial City, and Osgilia was really completely occupied by the rebels, if the Byzantine Empire really perished in the battle of Osgiria, then how many people would die for this country?
Osgillia has really fallen, the empire has really fallen, what will he do with this pillar of the empire you are talking about" "You, don't talk about it" Green scolded, then let out a long sigh and sat down heavily.
For a long time, Green didn't hear Sophie say anything more, raised his head, but found that the little woman had quietly handed over the wine bag, Green grabbed it, raised his head, and poured it into his mouth, he drank too quickly, the wine flowed out from the corners of his mouth, dripping down, and staining the placket of his clothes.
Most of the bag of wine was poured down by Green in one go, and then he threw the wine bag heavily, his eyes widened, staring at Sophie, after a while, Green's breathing gradually calmed down, and he whispered: "You, don't say it." ” "I'm just saying the answer you already have."
Sophie said lightly: "Actually, you already knew these things in your heart, otherwise, you would not have gone north, but went south to join this pillar of the imperial empire Because you also understand these in your heart, you did not really betray the group of the Northern Army, but chose to leave, that is, you have all the kindness of the Duke of Minas to you, and you are not burdened with the Northern Army."
That's what you think. ” "Lord Duke, even though there is something wrong with my lordship, but I can't ignore his kindness, if it weren't for the teacher, I would have become a dry bone in the grave this morning."
Green shook his head, but his voice was like a moan: "I won't do anything to be sorry for the Northern Army."
I, I can only help each other and just leave.
I'm alone, I'm alone."
"General Green, you can say these things to me."
Sophie sneered: "But, in your own heart, do you really believe these words?"
She had already stood up, patted the dust on her body gently, calmly walked to the side, turned over her horse, looked at Green, and said lightly: "I came to see him off, that's all I have to say, and the last thing I want to say is only one sentence: General, you are a Byzantine first, and then other identities." ” After saying this, Sophie did not stay for a moment, but whipped her horse, and rode her horse back to the main road, heading south.
Juncker also got on the horse afterwards, but in the end he stopped slightly, looked at Green, who was still sitting on the ground, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "You can go away, but what about the other soldiers in the army, can you also go away If everyone can leave like this, then, who will be the general, I don't know how to make big senses, these words, you think in your own heart." ” Juncker shook his head, turned his horse's head, and chased Sophie south, leaving Green alone, sitting in place, silently looking at the fire, and being in a daze.
