"Leave this matter to Tiger. He wants to find out who killed the earl and who was behind the scenes, so let him do it." Tang Mo walked out of the room and walked along the stairs. upstairs, and then boarded his carriage.
Weis stood by the door of Tang Mo's carriage and lowered his head slightly: "I understand. I will give him the clues later."
"The rest is easy." There was no smile on Tang Mo's face, which was as cold as frost. There was no change until Weiss closed the car door for him.
The rest of the matter is actually not simple. The reason why Tang Mo rushed from Wolf City to Ice Crystal City was actually because he had to solve another problem.
This problem, from some perspectives, is even more difficult than the investigation of Fishereau's assassination.
Because after learning that Count Fischerot was killed in Ice Crystal City, the Kingdom of Susas, which ceded Ice Crystal City, was unwilling to accept its failure and was once again ready to take action.
The other side has assembled 6,000 people, a total of four legions, on the border, preparing to go south across the Bingjing River and regain the lost area south of the Bingjing River.
The war can be said to be imminent, which is also an external reason why Tang Mo was able to quickly control the military power in Beiling.
Everyone was worried that Susas's army going south would bring disaster to Beiling. With no leader, of course they were willing to listen to Tang Mo's orders.
On the Susas side, the king of Sussas wanted to avenge his failure in Beiling, so he was ready to take advantage of the opportunity of Fisherot's assassination to have a great revenge.
This hastily assembled force was commanded by Count Romel, the hero who saved the southern region of Sussus in the last war.
You read that right, Romell was promoted. Although he was chased and beaten by 300 Bunas warriors from Tangmo and thousands of improvised peasants in the southern part of the kingdom, and was beaten until he lost his armor and panicked, but he still Got promoted.
Because according to almost everyone's reports, Sir Romell withstood the pressure at the critical moment, gathered the defeated troops, stabilized the southern part of the kingdom at the critical moment, and suppressed the riots of the rioters.
Such a stalwart man would naturally want to be promoted to a higher rank. So Romell is now an earl, replacing Tucci and becoming a famous general in the kingdom.
Well... In short, he is now a hot and rising star in the Kingdom of Susus. He is also known as the commander most likely to replace General Tucci and restore Susas' reputation.
This time, because they were not well prepared, Susas actually hastily assembled some troops that were originally stationed on the border and prepared to seize the benefits.
They didn't have much food and grass, and they didn't gather enough troops. They only hurriedly mobilized 6,000 soldiers and prepared to attack the Bingjing River.
It actually took two days for such a force to reach the Ice Crystal River in a mighty manner. However, the Beiling troops on the other side of the river had already sent back to Ice Crystal City the news of the strange movements of the Susas troops. .
Even when Count Romel rode on his horse and arrived at the bank of the Ice Crystal River, he was still very ambitious.
After all, if he can really take advantage of the chaos to take back the ceded territory this time, then his great reputation will really be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Susas.
"Fishereau is dead, and there are no famous generals left in Beiling!" He pointed with his riding crop to the other side of the river in the distance, and said proudly to several senior officers around him.
"They may not be ready yet. The troops are still in the barracks. As long as we cross the river, we have won." A general flattered Romell and nodded with a smile.
"Surprise, attack unprepared! Sir Romell is really a famous general in the world!" The other general was also a leader in the field of flattery, and his firing caliber was also 460 level.
"Hahahaha!" Sure enough, Romell was very comfortable when he was photographed, laughing loudly without being arrogant.
Just as he was laughing loudly, a knight flew up and grabbed the reins in front of Romell: "Sir! Someone from the south bank sent a letter."
When Romell heard what the other party said, the expression on his face became brighter: "Ha! They finally sent the surrender letter! Haha! It seems that there are still some good vision among those fools in the south."
A group of generals immediately started a new round of praise: "My lord, you personally took action, so you can definitely succeed!"
Romell was even more proud. While taking the letter from the knight, he felt good about himself and said: "Huh! I'm not bragging. If I hadn't collected the defeated troops and stabilized the battle line last time, the southern part of the kingdom would have been destroyed. That doesn’t necessarily mean that much land will be lost!”
"Those damn mud-legged country bumpkins! It's infuriating to think about following that evil star to cause trouble!" Speaking of the war more than half a year ago, Susas's generals showed painful expressions on their faces.
As nobles and upper-class people, most of them had personally experienced the unbearable Southern Rebellion.
In that chaos, they suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the mob, and some have not recovered to this day. Their families were robbed, and decades of wealth were wiped out. It still makes them miserable every time they think about it.
Immediately, other generals echoed: "Isn't it right! If we don't hold them accountable for the gold coins they stole... I feel unlucky just thinking about it!"
At that time, the entire south was in chaos, and even the enemy was less than 100 kilometers away from the royal city at the closest time.
What is frightening is that the other party actually coerced farmers and refugees, distributed guns, armed these villains, and swept away all the southern aristocrats.
"Shura Martial God"
One of the officers vowed to repay the blood debt from the farmers in Beiling: "Those people have gone to Beiling now. If we fight there this time, we must arrest them all! Hang them all! Not one of them can be killed. Let go!"
"That's right!" His words attracted the approval of all the generals. Everyone nodded, and their morale was extremely high.
The Susas officers who were enjoying these discussions had not noticed after the meeting that Count Romel, who was sandwiched between them, had turned pale at this moment.
Most of them were laughing confidently, as if victory was already in their hands this time as they headed south into Beiling.
So they laughed triumphantly, laughing unscrupulously when Count Romel's face turned pale: "Haha, hahahaha!"
Finally, someone noticed something was wrong, because they were close to Sir Romel, but they did not hear Count Romel's laughter.
The Sussian officer saw Romell staring down at the letter in his hand, looking as if he was going to be constipated on horseback in pain.
He was a little unsure of the reason, so he could only use a curious voice, half reminding and half questioning to Romell: "My lord?"
"Huh? Sir?" On the other side, the officer accompanying Romell also reacted. He asked with doubts on his face almost at the same time.
After receiving no response from Count Romel, he became a little flustered and asked once more to confirm: "Lord Romell, what's wrong with you?"
Romell woke up at this time. He looked away from the letter in his hand with difficulty, and spoke anxiously, asking for the opinions of the generals around him: "I...I suddenly...suddenly felt uncomfortable in my stomach, otherwise , otherwise we’ll camp here today, right?”
He actually didn't want to say such words, because last time, he knew that it was actually because of his delay that he ruined the victory at Sanchakou.
Sure enough, a general immediately started admonishing him: "Sir, soldiers need to be quick! If we don't take advantage of the civil strife in Beiling and the assassination of Fischereau to attack quickly, and when Beiling is ready, we 6,000 people may not be able to defeat the enemy." It’s a good thing…”
"Yes! Sir, it's a bit unreasonable for us to stop and camp here." Another general also said.
As he spoke, he pointed ahead: "There is the Bingjing River in front of us. Should we cross the river first, lest the other party is prepared and stops us at the river..."
"Shut up, shut up!" Romell interrupted the generals' chatter angrily.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Shut up!" Romell couldn't hold back any longer, his voice suddenly rose and he scolded sharply.
An officer who finally realized the problem looked at the letter in Romell's hand with some confusion and asked. "Sir, what is... what is written in this letter?"
Romell seemed to be deflated. He handed the letter to the officer who asked the question, and said in a helpless voice: "You, read it yourself!"
The officer took the letter, looked down at it a few times, and immediately began to gasp: "Hiss... cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
He seemed to be choked by water and couldn't take a deep breath. After coughing continuously, he blushed with embarrassment and agreed with Romel's decision: "If you ask me...well, I can't camp here. Nothing wrong with that.”
"Ah? Let me ask, what's wrong with you? Why is it that a letter makes you so afraid?" Another officer frowned, snatched the letter from the officer's hand, and looked at himself with contempt. glance at his colleagues.
Then, he lowered his head. After reading it for a few seconds, he immediately felt that the paper of the letter was hot to the touch.
He looked around awkwardly and said with an awkward smile: "This... I, I think it's good here too, so I'll camp here, hehe, hehehe, hahahaha."
"A letter has scared the living daylights out of you! If His Majesty the King finds out, all of you will be walking around without food! Cowards!" A burly commander with a stubble on his face said in a naive voice. He grabbed the letter paper and lowered his head to see the content on the letter paper: "Dear opponent coach. I am Tang Mo, the person who took away 63,100 gold coins from Susas last time. Since you have forgotten who I am, So, please get ready... Now, here I come, let's play music."
