Chapter 228: Anxiety [Phoenix]
The remote suburbs of Shen'en City, the Eastern Army Camp, and the Duke of Phoenix's Camp.
"I said, brother, you are frowning all day long, isn't it a solution?" Noah sat next to the Duke, frowned and his cheeks tense... His situation really seemed to make people feel at ease.
"It's because there's nothing we can do that, so we're frowning." Phoenix's handsome face looked pale and haggard at this moment.
He naturally would not forget to see a doctor. Doctor Suijun checked him, but the result was not expected: physical discomfort was entirely caused by excessive heartfelt worries.
The Duke of Phoenix had no choice but to do with such a situation--although each of his men was loyal, there were not many who could be of great use;
Each of them had an old mind and couldn't turn around; the suggestions they made at each combat meeting made Phoenix feel a little amused.
Yes, these people have never studied military tactics at all, so what do they know about combat?
There are more than 40,000 people in the middle realm and more than 60,000 people in the east realm. Both sides have been in the battle under the Shen'en City for so long, but there is no sign of fighting.
The situation in the town of Crown, Scepter Town began to have problems - the people there began to doubt the rule of the Duke of Phoenix.
In fact, Xiao Fenghuang's series of measures did not have any problems, but he couldn't resist the fact that Hei Yang kept making trouble in secret.
Myrons sent an unknown number of people to sneak into the two towns and specializes in secret destruction;
They posted notes slandering the Phoenix family on the street, or directly forged the seal of the Phoenix family - of course, the style is probably like, and it can be fooled by some people - and then posted false notices from the Phoenix family.
Or, they dressed up as soldiers from the Phoenix family and then did things wrongly - either robbed food, beat civilians, or insulted women;
A while ago, a case was sent to the Duke of Phoenix;
Two young men attacked the White family's grain transport convoy; when the convoy passed through the valley of Wangguan Town, the two men on the mountainside pushed down the stones, causing the arrival of the grain transport truck to be delayed for half a day, and a soldier was hit by the stone and died unfortunately;
The two of them were caught by the sergeant who transported the grain at that time; afterwards, they learned that the reason why the two attacked the grain transport convoy was because their sister was insulted by the soldiers and was in pain, so they did this in anger;
However, after verification, there was no requirement among the soldiers stationed in Wangguan Town at all - this was done by the royal capital army that infiltrated Wangguan Town!
But how should these two people deal with it? There is no law in the East Regulations to stipulate how to deal with this situation, which is troublesome.
For this reason, several nobles argued, quoted scriptures and discussed for a whole morning - what should we do if we haven't found out yet.
They were also proud of this, believing that they were a sign of paying attention to the people; in the end it was the decision made by the Duke of Phoenix.
He believes that the behavior of the two in this incident is undoubtedly a rebellious act, but "there is a cause" and should not be directly sentenced to death - or even severe punishment;
The final punishment was to punish each person with a golden dragon.
The soldier who was unfortunately hit and killed before was calculated to be killed in a brave battle, and distributed fifty golden dragons to his family as pensions.
As soon as this solution was released, both parties were "relatively" satisfied - after all, no one wants to see such a thing.
The most important thing is to investigate the people in the two towns to prevent spies from infiltrating.
Phoenix sent people to strengthen the household registration investigation, but soon the situation that caused him a headache again - even in the two towns, not everyone supported the Duke of Phoenix.
Many nobles, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy families surrendered on the surface, but secretly tried every means to cause trouble for the Phoenix family.
After all, the management of the Phoenix family is closer to the civilians, so it is better for Myrones to pay attention to their interests; their lives are worse than before, and they naturally hope that the Phoenix family will retreat as soon as possible.
Their way of doing bad things is nothing more than spreading rumors and not actively cooperating with the White family's orders. What troubles Phoenix mainly feels that it is their attitude.
Wang Ling and Dongjie are completely different styles, so this will not work... The war must be ended as soon as possible and then deal with these issues slowly...
But the more Phoenix wants to end in the short term, the more anxious the overall situation will make him.
The men sent by Myrons did not just sabotage in the two towns; they also tried to directly attack the logistics supply line.
These people are rare but have extraordinary skills. They can escape unstoppable every time they attack the grain transport convoy;
Their sources of intelligence and supplies were suspected to be provided by the nobles in the two towns... but no relevant clues were found for a while.
The news that the dumb bridge was blown up was also immediately passed to Phoenix; compared with the broken bridge, Phoenix felt more sorry for the poor soldiers.
The soldiers survived in a way that ordinary people could not accept; then they almost blew up the dumb bridge with their lives with an attitude of looking at death.
All the soldiers who fell into the Four Realms River died except for some lucky ones; those who survived by chance had a very strange red eyes, and this pupil color was recorded only when famine reached the age when people needed to feed on people...
Phoenix and Noah are really speechless for Baker who can play like this when defending the dumb bridge. In the minds of both of them, he actually made him perform this way. It's really...
If I had known this, it would have been better to blow up the mute bridge directly when I went to war, which could save the lives of thousands of soldiers in the East.
It would be unreasonable to not punish Baker until now; Phoenix cut Baker's seal off two-thirds and prayed for the fallen soldiers every day until the end of the war;
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I couldn't hold on. Phoenix recalled the situation a few days ago and could only sigh heavily.
The subordinates' desire to fight is getting more and more intense, making it difficult to deal with...
"So I just brought the good news back." Noah raised the parchment scroll in his hand, "There is news from Blue Sky City, the first batch of siege equipment has been completed!"
"Great!" Phoenix's face suddenly shone again, "In this way... the war will be over soon!"
The army in the East was full of fighting spirit from top to bottom. The reason why they had not fought with the more than 40,000 people in front of them was completely because it was useless when they started to fight - the siege equipment was not ready yet;
Even if it was just the first part sent, the army in the East was enough to break the city wall with its power...
"The Southern District has agreed to our proposal before, so we should just wait for them to deliver it!" Noah was also very happy.
I hope everything will end smoothly... Phoenix looked at the direction of Blue Sky City and prayed sincerely.
