Chapter 391: Split into two groups

Maximus reminded with a serious expression: "Now that Andizeti has suffered a heavy blow, you must occupy the entire Andizeti territory as quickly as possible before the Skodischi tribe takes action!"

The Skodischi tribe exists on the southern border of the Pannoni Tribal Alliance. This is something that the top leaders of the Nix tribe have known for a long time. Maximus specifically mentioned this matter at this moment, which made Aulus and Pekot feel nervous.

Aulus immediately asked worriedly: "Leader, we will speed up the attack! But if the Skodischi tribe also decisively sends troops to attack Andizeti, what attitude should our army take when they meet them?"

Maximus said decisively: "First of all, you must ensure that the land on both sides of the Sava River in the Andizeti territory and the land at the intersection with the Danube must be under your control!

In addition, you should try to avoid conflicts with the Skodischi troops. The corners of the southern border of the Andizeti tribe can be occupied by the Skodischi tribe troops who arrive there first, but if they are ignorant and insist on encroaching on our interests, then teach them a lesson and let them know that I They are so powerful that negotiations with them may go more smoothly in the future. ”

Oulus thought seriously for a while, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"Chief, the ordinary people in our tribe don't know that the Skodischi tribe is still alive. There are many Skodischi soldiers in the third and fourth legions. When the army enters Andizeti, once they encounter the Skodischi tribe army, I am worried that some Skodischi soldiers will not obey orders or even defect!

Should we take more severe punishments to deter all Skodischi soldiers? Or should we take into account that they have excusable reasons for doing so and impose more lenient punishments on them? "Pecot asked the question with a serious expression.

The fifth legion is a new legion, and Skodischi soldiers account for nearly half of it. He has to worry about this.

Maximus replied calmly: "One of the important reasons why our Nix army can win battles again and again is the strict military discipline. The "Military Law" is clearly posted on the walls of every military playground. Every officer and soldier knows that we will not deliberately impose penalties on anyone, nor will we be extra lenient to anyone. We will implement the military law in the same way as before, and it will not change!

As for the problem you mentioned, Pekot, I think you are too worried. Do you remember that at the beginning of the year, there were rumors in the tribe about the existence of the Skodischi tribe south of the Pannoni tribal alliance?"

"Of course I remember." Pekot said solemnly: "At that time, a large number of news about the existence of the Skodischi tribe suddenly appeared in the Kupa River area, which caused Snotia, The commotion among the Scodischi people in several towns such as Westney lasted for quite some time——”

Phesarus took over the conversation: “Not only in the Kupa River area, but also in the Ophidilla area and the upper reaches of the Sava River, there are also such rumors. The commotion is not small. It may be the work of the Brochi people, who want to disrupt our tribe. Unfortunately, they failed. Not long after, the matter was naturally settled.”

Pecot frowned and reminded in a deep voice: “That’s because it’s just a rumor after all. With Brochi and Andy, the hostile Pannoni tribes blocking them, the Scodischi people have no way to confirm it, but they will see with their own eyes that the previous rumors are true. What will happen at that time is really hard to predict. "

"It was predictable." Maximus smiled at Pequot and said, "I ordered the Intelligence Department to spread those rumors throughout the tribe. I issued orders to the chief executives of each town to let the city guards strengthen patrols and maintain order...

But in fact, I was too worried. There was no major unrest in various regions, and it did not affect the cultivation of fields and workshops. The people of the Skodischi tribe were able to calm down quickly... Pequot, what you just said is one reason, but there are other reasons.

The intelligence department staff collected a lot of conversations between the Skodischi tribe. Many of the Skodischi tribe members believed that 'they lived well in the Nix tribe, and they would soon become official tribesmen, and their lives would get better and better. They had been slaves for more than ten years and were affected. They are tired of living in uncertainty and are unwilling to give up their current stable and prosperous life to join a strange Skodischi tribe. ’

Some people think that ‘if the Skodischi tribe really exists, they have not driven out the Pannoni people and taken back the land that once belonged to the Skodischi people in the past ten years, which means that the strength of this tribe is not good. Given the attitude of the Pannoni people towards the Skodischi people, maybe this tribe has been surrounded by the Pannoni people's attacks, and the lives of the tribesmen must be worse. Unless they are mentally ill, they will give up such a good life now and don't run there to suffer...’

There is another more important reason. Do you know Govis? ”

“Govis...the centurion of my Second Legion, the captain of the Snowtia rugby team?” Toleruge said uncertainly.

“That’s him! This man has some influence among the Skodishchi people, and in the beginning he was very persistent in reviving the Skodishchi tribe, and even led a group of Skodishchi slaves to plunder the territory of Segestica for a while... So after this rumor came out, I paid special attention to him."

While recalling something, Maximus said in a gentle tone: "As a result, he told people many times, 'In fact, the Skodisci tribe really existed and had nothing to do with him, because his original tribe It has been destroyed by Segestica. The only bloodline of the big leader is my wife, Flores Liucia, so he will stay in Nyx for the rest of his life... There are many Skodisci people and Gowes. There is a similar statement.

As far as I know, the Skodisci in its heyday were very similar to the Pannoni today, with multiple large tribes. Although there was cooperation between the large tribes, there were also conflicts of interest. The people of a large tribe usually had no Will run to another big tribe...

Of course, the reason why these people said this is probably to find reasons why they don’t want to go to the Skodisci tribe, but this just shows that our Nix tribe is far more attractive to them than the Skodisci tribe. Much larger. Even if they really encounter the Skodisqi tribe's army this time, apart from some surprise and emotion, there should not be any unusual behavior. On the contrary, when they see the opponent's rudimentary equipment to stop nausea, they will Strengthen their determination to stay in the Knicks tribe. "

Aulus and Pecot felt relieved after hearing this.

Maximus then reminded: "However, you two should pay attention! If the Skodisci tribe really sends troops and infringes on our interests, forcing you two to fight with them, do not pursue them after defeating them. And kill the defeated troops, not to mention taking the opportunity to enter the territory of the Skodisqi tribe to avoid hurting the feelings of the Skodisqi soldiers in the army!

We must also avoid irritating the Titians, the supporters behind the Skodisci tribe. It is not appropriate for us to be enemies of this powerful force now, and we must try our best to show it our goodwill! "

Aulus and Pecot nodded thoughtfully.

"Tolerugo, Carminus, you must also be careful when attacking Mazii. Don't continue to advance eastward after occupying Mazii territory!

Occupying Brochi, Maziyi and Andizetti was one of the plans we made before the war. We have been working hard in the past few years to accumulate a lot of reserve officials and supplies, but if we want to absorb these three tribes at the same time, I am afraid that the territory of the Nix tribe is too much to bear, so it should be stopped in moderation and the war must not be expanded. Otherwise, the Boi people will be easily involved, which will cause great harm to our Nix tribe. It may even be the end of all the results we have achieved so far. It will all be in vain! "

Maximus looked at the two of them seriously, but more of his eyes were on Torrelugo. After all, he was the commander-in-chief who was about to take over the army, and his strong personality made Maximus worried.

Originally, Tolerugo was not the commander-in-chief of the army that Maximus recognized, but who made Feisalus's hand smell so bad that he was chosen to stay in the first draw, and among the remaining four army commanders, Toreluge was chosen? He has the most seniority. If he is not allowed to be the head coach, it will undoubtedly be a public expression of distrust in him. Of course, Maximus cannot do this.

Although Torrelugo looks rough and arrogant, he usually does things boldly and grandly, but after being the commander of the legion for many years and managing thousands of soldiers, of course he also has a delicate mind. He understands what Maximus said these words for, so Facing Maximus's gaze, he said in a deep voice: "Chief, please don't worry!"

Maximus looked at him, calmed down for a moment, and then reminded: "There are many mountains in Maziyi, and many tribes live in the mountains and forests. After you capture the main village of Maziyi and the surrounding basins, you'd better not go there rashly. Attack the tribes in the mountains and forests! Our soldiers are heavy infantry, which is not conducive to fighting in the mountains, and the terrain is unfamiliar, so we will suffer a lot. I suggest you try your best to stabilize the basin centered on the main village of Maziyi. Go and pacify and recruit those mountain tribes!

I will send you a right-hand man, Gilkus, the chief officer of the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff. He was originally from the Maziyi ethnic group. Many of his subordinates were also from the Maziyi ethnic group. This time he took them with him. Follow me in the army, and I will ask him to follow you to Maziyi. He can not only be your guide, but also help you guide the various tribes that surrendered to Maziyi. "
