"What the hell is this! Father, what is Your Majesty trying to do here? After reading the edict of Dikar II, Arufa could not help but vent his inner dissatisfaction loudly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Arufa cannot be blamed for this, and his disrespectful behavior can also be explained by the fact that he is too young to hold his breath, and Dikar II's orders are indeed difficult to let go.

Accepting Sulla's suggestion, Dikar appointed Generals Shurya and Abrach as commanders of the cavalry and stationed on the southern border, and Adlem as commander-in-chief of the defense of the southern front. It should be said that this puts Adlem's rank above the two generals, and the problem is that Dicard has added the addition of the fact that unless they are attacked by the enemy, the right to move these cavalry belongs to the king and not to Adlem.

Decar's apparent intent was to prevent Adlerham from mastering the country's most elite cavalry force, which was entirely justified from his own self-interest, but it was not at all the case when this appointment was applied to the real world. In doing so, he undoubtedly set up Adlerm as a commander-in-chief, making him a fictitious title that could not mobilize his subordinates, so these two cavalry generals would not really obey the commander-in-chief's orders, because they could use the king as a shield to refuse to carry out Adlerham's orders, which would eventually not only damage Adlerham's prestige, but also cause confusion in command, and in the long run, this appointment would obviously have endless troubles.

In fact, not only Arufa, but even Luke, the secretary of Adlem, privately expressed serious dissatisfaction with this order.

Faced with the emotions of his subordinates and his son, Adlerham could only smile bitterly. How could he not know the merits of this? His eyes had even been on Sulla's advice in front of Dikal, and the veteran knew that Sulla was not his ally, but he also knew that he would speak for his own benefit, and even so, Dikal still gave such an edict, so there was no one in Arubania who could make him change his mind.

After Arufa's mood calmed down a little, Adlem spoke: "Arufa, you really don't need to be so impulsive, Your Majesty has his intention in doing this." ”

"Really? Father, forgive the child's stupidity, I don't see any benefit in this practice. ”

Adlem smiled, "Your Majesty means to let me, the commander-in-chief, leave, silly boy." ”

Luke suddenly came to his senses when he reminded him, and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty means that you intend to let those two generals succeed you, so you are only temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief until those two generals are familiar with the defense situation in the south?" ”

Adlem nodded: "Just think about it, right?" Your Majesty is to prevent me from harboring different intentions after controlling the cavalry, so I arranged it this way. ”

"This, this, this is simply too deceitful!" Arufa was furious when he heard this, and his hand unconsciously put on the hilt of the knife: "My father assisted His Majesty to ascend the throne, and he is a hero who supports it!" Besides, father, you have never been interested in fighting for power, where will you threaten his throne?! It's just out of nowhere, it's really chilling! ”

Aderim noticed the small details of his son, so he stepped forward, quietly took his hand off the hilt of the knife, and said with a smile: "Arufa, you always use your own ideas to speculate on other people's thoughts, this is not what a general should do. It is precisely because my father is the hero who supports His Majesty that His Majesty is so jealous of me, and in His Majesty's eyes, the greatest treasure in the world is the supreme power, and everyone in the world should covet this power. If anyone shows disdain for this treasure, then he is acting in order to make His Majesty let his guard down. Take 10,000 steps back, even if Your Majesty believes that I really don't like power, then what should Your Majesty use to envelop me, an important minister? ”

Adlem's words sent Arufa deep in thought. Luke, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "My lord, since you know Your Majesty so well, why don't you do something that can make Your Majesty feel at ease?" ”

Aderim smiled at Luke and said, "I'm sorry, but it just so happens that I don't have much desire for power, I'm also a person who doesn't like acting." ”

Luke couldn't help but be speechless. This was the first time he realized that his chief might cause trouble for his principles, but for some reason, Luke's heart was even more determined to follow the lord who had the grace of knowing him.

Not long after barely quelling internal discontent, Shurya and Abrahe arrived at the southern border with 50,000 cavalry. As usual, the two generals came to see their commander, Adlem.

Emotionally speaking, it is somewhat difficult for the two veterans of Rong Ma's life to see the commander who is a little younger than him and who was far from his rank back then. Shurya is gentle and introverted by nature, but Abrahe has a hot temper, even if he is over half a hundred years old, he is still unabated, if it weren't for his old friend Shuerya's hard pull, he would probably avoid it.

To the surprise of the two, Adlerm was very enthusiastic about the two, not only greeted them outside the house in person, but also respected them in his words, without a trace of condescension.

A little flattered, Shurya and Abrahe looked at the prefect who was a year or two younger than them, and although Adlem's sudden rise had made them secretly jealous, the former general was indeed as rumored to have no fight. During the banquet, there was a lot of talk and laughter, if someone who didn't know why saw it, they would definitely think that the three of them were old friends who had reunited after a long absence.

After three rounds of drinking, Adlem was already a little drunk, and he raised his wine glass to the second general and said, "Two lords, the defense of the south of our country will depend on two more people. Li Tianhao of the Palchi country is a fierce opponent, his army is very strong, and the two of them must not be underestimated. ”

Shulya hurriedly saluted and said, "What the Commander-in-Chief said, the subordinates must be kept in mind. We will fully cooperate with the commander-in-chief in the battle against the enemy and achieve the ultimate victory. ”

"It's a great blessing for the two of you to be like this. I sincerely hope that the two of you can take over the responsibility of the defense of the south as soon as possible, so that I can return home and taste the wine that my wife has prepared for me with peace of mind. ”

Shurya and Abrahe both laughed. In their opinion, Adlem's last sentence was a complete joke, but Arufa, who was accompanying him on the side, knew that this was his father's true thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his heart. (To be continued.) )
