Chapter 19 I Recommend Su Cheng

After a month and a half.

Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, inside the emperor's study.

At this time, in the emperor's study, Ge Zewen was sitting behind a large wooden table, while Jacob and Iser stood in front of Ge Zewen with their heads bowed.

"No matter how you say it, it's too miserable..." Ge Zewen said with an unfriendly expression, "It's been a month and a half, a whole month and a half, and the peasant rebellion that broke out in the Earl of York has not been put down yet. They sent several annihilation armies to annihilate them, but not only failed, but also made the rebel army stronger! The rebel army has now expanded to a full 30,000 people! Even a peasant rebel army can't solve it! Don't we Are the knights of the empire already this bad?"

Although Ge Zewen has a bad reputation among the people, and as an emperor, he is a bit fatuous and incompetent, but after all, he is a person who has been an emperor for decades, and he has already possessed the strength that only those who have been in power for a long time have. aura.

Therefore, Ge Zewen, who is usually amiable, is also very terrifying and imposing when he gets angry.

After hearing Gozevin's harsh criticism, Isel couldn't help but bury his head in the ground with a face of shame.

"Your Majesty." Isel said, "It's not so much that our knights are terrible, but it's better to say that the leaders of this peasant rebel army are indeed a bit powerful."

"What a powerful method, tell me about it."

After all, Ge Zewen put on a posture of listening attentively.

"There are three leaders in this peasant rebel army." Isser said eloquently, "These three leaders are called Anton, Abel, and Abt. I read the combat report, and from the report , these three people do have good military commanding skills, it is hard to believe that these three people were just farmers, especially this man named Anton, judging from the report, he has the highest ability, so he He is also the person with the highest status among the three chiefs."

"Peasants?" Gozevin frowned, "Is it these three people who were only farmers before, who beat up the knights of our empire?"

When this peasant rebel army first rebelled, there were only more than 400 people. In order to wipe out this peasant rebel army, Gozevin sent 3 troops to wipe it out.

The first army consisted of 1,000 people, without knights to command, and 400 fought against 1,000. As a result, the 1,000-man army was wiped out by the rebel army, and then the rebel army expanded to 6,000 people.

Immediately afterwards, a second army of 8,000 was sent out, commanded by a Xingui knight, 6,000 against 8,000, and then disabled by the rebel army. The Xingui knight came back with 3,000 remnants in despair The army swelled to 13,000.

Unbearable, Ge Zewen sent a third army of 16,000 people, and at the same time added 2 Xingui knights, 13,000 against 16,000, but was still defeated by the rebel army, and finally the rebel army swelled to 30,000.

Three battles and three defeats are terrible.

It was really hard for Ge Zewen to believe that the three former peasants were able to defeat the knights of their empire with their superb command skills.

"Your Majesty." Jacob, who had been silent before, said suddenly, "You have to believe that there are geniuses in this world, and people are born different. Without it, it is easy to command an army of 100,000."

"Mr. Jacob is right." Issel nodded.

"According to you." Ge Zewen said in a deep voice, "The leaders of the three peasant rebels are three geniuses?"

Issel was silent for a while, then nodded: "You can say that."

"Anything is fine!" Ge Zewen said impatiently, "Hurry up and wipe out this rebel army! If they are allowed to do whatever they want,

The loss of our empire will be greater and greater, and it will also greatly damage the prestige of our empire among countries in the world. All countries will despise our country and think that our Britannia Empire is a country that even the peasant rebellion cannot be quickly quelled. Weak country! "

"Your Majesty," Isel said, "according to my judgment, the Xingui Knights alone may not be able to deal with the three leaders of this rebel army. Therefore, the next wave of annihilation army, I think it is time to send two The knights are on board. And now the rebel army has swelled to 30,000, so for the next wave of annihilation army, I suggest sending more than 30,000 troops to fight more and less. If the Double Oak Knights command a much larger army than the rebel army , will be able to successfully wipe out this rebel army.”

"Send more than 30,000 extermination troops?! No way! For the next wave of extermination troops, I will only send 5,000 people!"

"His Majesty?!"

Iser raised his head abruptly, and looked at Gozevin with a surprised expression.

"I can't stand this rebel army running amok on my land." Ge Zewen said with a grim expression, "The troops we can deploy quickly are only 5,000 people. If we want to gather a force of more than 30,000 people and The supplies they use will take a lot of time, and I don’t have that much time to spend on it! Only 5,000! I will only send 5,000 people for the next wave of annihilation troops!”

"Your Majesty..." Iser looked at Gozevin wanting to cry but without tears.

On the other hand, Jacob smiled wryly and shook his head lightly. He was used to this, and it was not a day or two for Gozevin to make such random decisions.

"But, Your Majesty!" Iser gritted his teeth, "If only 5,000 people are sent, and if 5,000 people are used to fight 30,000 people, I'm afraid we need to send a powerful commander!"

"A powerful commander...Iser, do you have any good candidates?"

"...With such a disparity in strength, we may have to send the Fanlan Knights or the Four Royal Knights to fight..."

"To deal with a group of peasant rebels, do we still need to send Fanlan Knights and Four Royal Knights? No! At most, we can only send Double Oak Knights! If other countries know that our Britannia Empire is dealing with a group of peasant rebels, how can we send them? We need to send Fanlan Knights and Four Royal Knights, what will they think of us? They will think that our Britannia Empire is a wonderful country that uses bows and crossbows to fight mosquitoes! So no! Only Xingui Knights or Double Oaks can be sent The knights go to battle!"

"His Majesty......"

Iser once again looked like he was about to cry, and at the same time quickly went through the list of Xingui Knights and Double Oak Knights that the empire could send, and found that there was no one who was capable of such a difficult task. .

The three commanders of the enemy are all capable of defeating the Xingui knights, and with the disparity of 1 to 6 troops, I am afraid that even his daughter Alyssa may not be able to win the battle.

At this moment, Jacob, who had been standing silently at the side just now, suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, if possible, I have a good candidate here who I would like to recommend to you. If it is him, he will definitely be able to complete this arduous task."

"Oh?" Ge Zewen raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? Who will listen."

At this time, Iser also turned his head in surprise, wanting to hear who the suitable candidate Jacob said was.

"I—" Jacob said slowly with a slight smile, "I recommend Su Cheng, the art of war teacher of Her Highness Ilsa, to be the commander of the next wave of annihilation army."
