Chapter 459 Riot (4)
In the dark basement, someone lit an oil lamp.
No one had come for a long time, and the air was a little turbid.
This is a unique underground building with several passages around it.
The guests entered from all over and then gathered together.
Everyone was dressed very tightly, covered in black smocks.
Even when they came to the basement, some people lowered their heads and could not see their faces clearly.
The organizer who lit the lamp took a look and couldn't help feeling sad. The former pride of heaven has now become rats in the underground, and they are in a state of panic all day long.
If it weren't for the national hatred and family feud, most people would not be able to hold on.
When everyone arrived, he sat down, coughed, and officially started this gathering.
"The owner of Simon's dog is here, and he is still as tyrannical as ever.
The savages of the Shanyue tribe finally did a good thing this time.
Most of Emperor Xia's guards were transferred away, leaving only two nearby divisions and the navy. This is our best chance."
The Great Xia Empire is like the sun in the sky, so bright that you can't look directly at it.
These rats in the ditch can only speak freely here.
With the pursuit of hyenas, the power of the old tribe remnants will only weaken until they forget their hatred or die.
Just like this gathering place, the last time it was used was half a year ago.
In fact, most people don’t know this news, which shows that these remnants are not living a good life.
Finally, someone raised his head and said hoarsely: "Two regular divisions, two guards divisions, plus the internal guards... more than 50,000 people, plus the nearby navy, you should have seen the Imperial-class battleships, is this an opportunity?"
The defense is strict and the vigilance is strict.
Otherwise, Simon would not have been allowed to take away three guards divisions.
If there were really big problems with the defense, they would not believe it, because the probability of a trap is greater.
The organizer laughed. Of course, he understood the concept of tens of thousands of regular troops, which was an almost unshakable force.
"We are not going to fight, and we don't have the strength to do so.
Assassinating the king and killing the emperor, taking the life of the Xia emperor, that's enough.
When Daxia is in chaos, maybe we can restore the old country one day."
He is very clear-headed. As a member of the aristocratic elite education, he is very clear about his strength and goals.
This huge empire can no longer be shaken by simple force.
However, powerful giants also have weaknesses.
The emperor of Daxia, as long as he is killed, the empire will collapse.
And after ten years, there will be no such opportunity.
"Assassinating the king and killing the emperor is not that simple. With our strength, we can't get close to the Xia emperor at all. How to assassinate him?"
"I have a way. My identity can get close to the Xia emperor."
After a moment of silence, the organizer convinced others that this might be their best chance.
...
Simon rode a warhorse, he still preferred the feeling of fighting with his old friend.
Take away the Guards Corps, this is what His Majesty told him in advance.
From knowing the arrival of the Shanyue Hundreds to Simon's sudden rise, everything was planned.
It's just that the actors' casual performance makes the whole thing seem more real.
Simon didn't know Derek's entire plan, but he could vaguely feel that the emperor was making plans.
He didn't worry about the emperor's safety, he still had some trust.
Since the task assigned to him was to severely strike the Shanyue tribes and make the whole thing look more harmonious.
Then he would complete the task perfectly.
It just so happened that these Shanyue tribes didn't give him face and made a joke in front of the center of the empire.
I, Simon, am not a good-tempered person.
It's easier to ask for death than to ask for benevolence.
The last brother who asked for death, his head is now hanging on the flagpole and accompanying the army.
The Guards Division is well-trained and has participated in some battles. Most of the officers are elites drawn from various armies.
With Simon's prestige, it is not difficult to use them.
So the marching speed was very fast and they arrived at the destination soon.
The Shanyue tribes refer to the mountains connecting the Griffin Peninsula to the inland.
The mountains cut off the connection between the mainland and the Griffin Peninsula, and the journey was difficult.
In fact, since ancient times, there have been much more exchanges on the sea than on land.
Hundreds of Shanyue tribes live there, and strictly speaking, they are a force spanning the two countries.
However, the mountains are rugged and the population that can be supported is even more limited.
It is impossible for any tribe to unify.
The emperor is far away and an effective ruling order cannot be established. Unification is a joke.
So they fight each other, and they are loose like a village alliance.
They bully the weak and fear the strong. After finding that the Great Xia Empire is not easy to mess with, few mountain people have gone out of the mountains to plunder.
And the Great Xia Empire will not take the initiative to encircle and suppress them. First, the gains will not outweigh the losses, and second, the army is entangled in the old place of the Griffin Peninsula and cannot spare its hands.
Anyway, they are just natives living in a corner. The military’s opinion is that they can spare their hands to solve them at any time, so they don’t pay attention to them.
Who knew that someone who was looking for death would come to the door himself, and he showed his presence in front of the emperor, so he provoked Simon, the evil star.
The Guards Division is an unexpected army, and it is better to use it to wipe out these Shanyue tribes.
Of course, Simon's first target was the kid who had lost face.
He estimated that this war would not last too long, and might not wait until the Shanyue tribes were completely pacified, which was unrealistic.
Therefore, he had to start with the kid's tribe so that he would not be lonely down there.
Since he only bullies the weak and fears the strong, there must be a traitor.
There are not many people who recognize the situation, but there are many who are afraid of death, and there are even more who are greedy for the short term.
Simon doesn't need to worry at all, the relevant information has been delivered to Simon.
"No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out to be a tribe deep in the depths."
Simon looked at the specific map and suddenly realized that this kid was just short-sighted.
But this is not a reason to forgive him.
There is no need to mobilize troops for a tribe of thousands of people.
Simon summoned the staff to finalize the plan. The large troops restrained several tribes that were close to him. He went deep into the mountains himself and sent the kid's family down to accompany him.
The main feature is a caring service and worry-free after-sales service.
After the plan was revised repeatedly, even the retreat route for failure was found. The Guards Division, which had rested and adapted for several days, received different orders.
According to the current command system, the probability of errors is very small.
Once the army moves, it will attract attention immediately.
The Shanyue tribe, who had long noticed something was wrong, and several nearby tribes had already made preparations.
They had also encountered encirclement and suppression before, but the tribesmen hid in the mountains and fought a guerrilla war in the jungle, and the final victory still belonged to them.
They had seen the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia Empire, but they still had confidence in themselves.
Inside and outside the mountains and forests were two different worlds.
But they didn't know that the world had changed for a long time.
Let alone the weapons of the Guards Division, they had trained countless times just for fighting in the mountains and forests.
Officers at all levels had received relevant training on how to fight in mountains, plains and other terrains. The Guards Division, a Class A division, had even conducted targeted exercises, so there was no problem of adaptability at all.
