Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 159: Strategic intention
Chapter 159 Strategic Intentions
I got the news that Kebo City has been conquered. It took Charade only 29 days to transfer caravan and 100,000 refugees from Vanades City to Kebo City. This efficiency greatly surprised Lorist. `The distance of seven hundred and eighty miles is less than a month. You must know that it is a hundred thousand horses.
Charade's method is very simple. In addition to transporting supplies and carriage all the way to the old and weak, he has set up seven temporary camps at 780 miles from Vanades City to Kebo City. The vehicle transported carriage , specifically transporting personnel to the next camp, which completed the task of personnel transfer so quickly.
Second Highness led Royal Guard Legion 10,000 soldier(s) to Vanades City and immediately arrived at Kebo City as soon as possible. His purpose was to borrow food.
Lorist doesn't matter. Anyway, Kebo City is mostly grain. After the occupation, the number of grain silos obtained was more than 300 million kilograms, which made everyone sigh. Delamock Province claims to be the largest granary in the former Empire. With the food, everyone was relieved, caravan and the refugees, more than 100,000 horses, can safely spend the winter in Kebo City.
However, Second Highness's food loan plan was stuck by Charade. Charade is very reasonable. It can be borrowed, but there must be a mortgage. Even if you are the Andinak Kingdom crown prince and the regent in charge of the kingdom, you must follow The traditional customs and practices between Aristocrat(s), we ca n’t say without words that we can give as much as we can.
In fact, Second Highness's net worth is poorer than caravan, and Charade clearly shows that it is difficult for him. However, Second Highness was not discouraged, and returned to Vanades City with a smile. As a result, Second Highness shipped a large amount of mortgaged materials ten days later. Charade looked at these materials and wept without tears.
These mortgaged goods are actually goods that Charade previously wanted to collect from a Vanades City merchant for one-third of the price, but Second Highness is even harder. He directly turned these goods into mortgages for borrowing food in the name of confiscating enemy property. Supplies. In the end, Second Highness transported 100 million pounds of grain from Kebo City. Even if the severe cold of winter came, regardless of the frostbite of transport personnel and horses, the grain was continuously transported.
Charade It's very strange why Second Highness can't wait so fast. They went to ask Lorist privately.
Lorist's explanation is simple, recruit, prepare for war.
Get a Andinak Kingdom map. Lorist said that next spring, Second Highness will face two wars, and Madras Grand Duke's counterattack needless to say. The most important thing here is that Lorist refers to the border between Andinak Kingdom and Redlis Kingdom. I heard that the prince already and the Central Four Dukedom signed a truce agreement. Then the next bad luck is probably Andinak Kingdom.
Thank you, Lorist smiled at Charade, Second Highness already integrated Aristocrat(s) inside the kingdom, settled the situation, and started production. As long as he can spend two or three years in a stable manner, Andinak Kingdom can become a regional power. If he is given another ten years to show, the dream of Empire unified by Second Highness will probably become a reality. `
What Second Highness lacks most now is time. At present, he adopts the strategy of step by step and taking the north to the south. Redlis Kingdom to the Great Prince. He made Gale Legion responsible for the defense of the border between the two countries. However, the strong wind Legion battled for many years, and also helped Mei Rhein Dukedom to resist the attack of Second Prince, causing great damage. Second Highness needs to reserve soldier(s) to do the battle preparation and long-term defense work for Legion.
To Madras Dukedom, Second Highness wants to occupy, but at present there is more than enough. His idea was to annex Yungechandler Province first, to be able to communicate with the central four Dukedom, to get support. Here, the defense first consumes the strength of Madras Grand Duke. After two years of preparation, it can annex Madras Dukedom in one fell swoop.
Charade looked at the map for a long while and was silent. Then I made a suggestion: "Lord(s), otherwise we do n’t stay here, let Second Highness representative Andinak Royal Family seal Delamock Province to us Norton Family, we can help Second Highness complete the purpose of annexing Madras Dukedom as soon as possible. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds. Second Highness will definitely be happy. "
Lorist hesitated and stared at Charade for a long time before asking: "Is this what you think? Or do many people think so?"
Charade thought for a while and said, "I went to the city wall to check the city guards in the tower two days ago, and when I came down, I saw a group of exiles gathering at the moat. I thought that something had happened and I went to see it. As a result, I heard an exile talking about the folk tales and legends of Kebo City and Delamock Province. I heard a sentence of Delamock Province Woye Qianli, which is the largest granary of Krissen Empire. I was tempted. If we occupy this province, how much help can the family! "
Lorist shook his head with a bitter smile: "Don't think about it in the future, such a good thing is impossible."
"Why? Even if Second Highness refuses to give us the entire gift of Delamock Province, then Kebo City was laid by us, and the surrounding area should also be rewarded to us. By then, we can settle 100,000 refugees here for farming. , Also let our family lay a nail in Delamock Province. "Charade was not convinced.
"Oh ..." Lorist sighed: "History Big Brother, you think everything is too good. Second Highness is absolutely impossible to seal Delamock Province to us, even if we lay the whole province for him, he will not Kebo City is rewarded to us. Even if we occupy the entire Delamock Province with our strength, it is also privately occupied, and stolen, Second Highness will not recognize it in name.
If Second Highness is a King that is comfortable with the status quo and does not think aggressively, then your idea may still be realized. It is a pity that Second Highness has great ambitions and wants to unify the former Empire, so he can give the entire Northern Land to us Norton Family, but never allow Delamock Province to be touched by us.
If you look at the map carefully, you will understand the strategic intent of Second Highness. Why did he maintain so many Territory Aristocrat(s) in the first two provinces of Andinak Kingdom? Quite simply, in those two provinces, he was prepared to resist the attack of the Prince, and it was not a pity to break it. The last province of Verbasia was swept by you. All Territory Aristocrat(s) were hoisted by you on the gallows Second Highness without saying a word. That is because he wanted to bring the province of Verbasia into the direct jurisdiction of the royal family, making it a royal revival Foundation, so he will not enclose a Territory Aristocrat(s) in this province. `
Then you look at the map of Madras Dukedom. Yungechandler Province has been brought under the control of Second Highness. Although this province is barren, it is a strategic place. Second Highness already is treasonous. The charges of assisting inversion eliminated more than twenty Territory Aristocrat(s), leaving only six or seven Lord(s)s who were willing to obey the orders of Second Highness and order things.
Why does Second Highness behave abnormally in Yungechandler Province? It is because he also wanted to include this province under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family. Next he has to deal with Madras Grand Duke and Haishan Legion of Sidol Province, Sidol Province is a province directly under the jurisdiction of Madras Grand Duke, and there is no remaining Territory Aristocrat(s). As long as this province is won, Second Highness will begin to deal with Delemk's Territory Aristocrat(s).
Food is the most important strategic material of a kingdom. Without food, the kingdom cannot be stable. Second Highness has suffered from lack of food before, as the largest food producing province in the former Empire. Second Highness will never be able to put Delamock Province under the control of Territory Aristocrat(s). He will also clean the Territory Aristocrat(s) of this province, and those who trust him will be resold to Sidol Province. Now you are looking at these provinces. What will happen to the situation? "
Lorist took a map of the division of the former Krissen Empire into three kingdoms and seven Dukedoms. A line was drawn in the three provinces of Andinak Kingdom, Verbasia, Madras Dukedom, Yungechandler Province, and Delamock Province, and again at Northern Land A circle is drawn on it.
Charade straight forward, pointing at the circle above Northern Land and asking, "What do you mean?"
"Forgot Second Highness's words? When he wipes out Madras Dukedom. When bordering Northern Land, if we take the entire Northern Land with Norton Family, he will register me as Northern Land Grand Duke(s) on behalf of Andinak Royal Family. This circle represents our Norton Family." Lorist Reply.
"Where do you think the soldiers of Second Highness will point to in this situation?" Lorist asked Charade.
Charade points to Iberia Kingdom: "It's Second Prince."
Lorist nodded: "This is another reason why Second Highness will not give Delamock Province to us or other Territory Aristocrat(s). Only provinces under the direct control of the royal family can better mobilize troops and materials to support the front line. Delamock Province and Iberia Kingdom Yixing As for the Deson small mountain range, as long as the Second Highness sends troops, it can easily penetrate the hinterland of Iberia Kingdom. Second Prince does not have that long support.
We all know that Second Prince relies on the strength of his father-in-law Grand Duke Fisablen and his Majesty's former Empire border defense Legion to establish the country. Second Highness will send troops to Iberia Kingdom and Grand Duke Fisablen will definitely use the border defense Legion. At this time Second Highness needs our Norton Family. If we send troops from Northern Land, plus Grand Duke(s) from Mehring, then Grand Duke Fisablen can only retreat to his old nest in order to avoid three-sided pinch, and watch Second Highness sweep Iberia Kingdom. "
"If Second Highness wins Iberia Kingdom, then the whole situation of Empire will be clear at a glance. He will order us to confront Norton Family and Grand Duke Fisablen, force Four Great Dukedoms to return to the Empire territory, and then gather forces to destroy the Redlis Kingdom of the Great Prince. This is the general trend, who Nor can it resist. Second Highness can soon complete the wish of unifying Empire. He will be on the new Krissen's Empire throne, and he will become a legend in the history books as the prince of the revival of Empire ... "Charade already understood the meaning of Lorist and connected The strategic layout continued to finish.
"Second Highness is really in the next big game. He has a good idea. At that time, we will use our border guard Legion involving Grand Duke Fisablen, so that we will not be able to do more in the process of rejuvenating Empire, eliminating Empire. The trouble of rewarding us for Norton Family after unification is really calculated at home ... "Charade sighed.
Lorist laughed: "This is Yang Mo, everything is so bright and upright that people have nothing to say."
"Will we have no way to share some benefits?" Charade was still reconciled.
Lorist shook his head: "You should be aware of this by borrowing food from Second Highness. One hundred million pounds of food, Second Highness can completely confine us to a hundred miles around Kebo City in exchange for food, but he would rather Go to confiscate the merchant's goods as collateral. Even if we take the entire Delamock Province, we can wait for Second Highness to destroy Madras Dukedom and rectify our military readiness and order us to hand over Delamock Province. Are you ready to let us Norton Family?
Refused? Rebellion? Is it realistic? Do n’t forget that the 100,000 refugees we brought were originally the people of Andinak Kingdom. You will arrange them to work here. As long as Second Highness orders, they will be very happy for themselves to become the people of the kingdom again. No one will ignore us. No share of Lord(s) Lord(s). Only by taking them to our family Territory will they become our Norton Family leaders.
We do n’t lack Territory in Norton Family. Do n’t forget that Second Highness sealed my island Territory and nobody managed it. The most important thing now is to bring these refugees back. Don't think that our caravan armed forces is very powerful, in fact it is far from being elite. The reason they followed us to Northern Land was to give their family a peaceful and peaceful living environment. If we lead them to fight for these unknown places, will they be willing? When they're damaged, where do we add these heroic fighters?
No one is a fool, Second Highness still wants us to stay at Delamock Province without caravan armed forces. Wash all the Territory Aristocrat(s) like you did in Verbasia, so that he can get a good reputation without dirtying his sword, and use the excuse of angry people to force us to leave. Even in the war with Madras Grand Duke after the spring, we can rightfully order us to participate in the war and provide support.
I do not want our Norton Family armed forces to become the cannon fodder of Second Highness ambitions. In fact, his strategic deployment can be understood by many interested people. If you want to succeed, you can also see if those interested people are willing to give him this opportunity. Next summer, Madras Dukedom will become a big battlefield. In the spring, if we do n’t leave caravan, we can never go again. "
Lorist reached out and clicked the location of Iberia Kingdom on the map.
"Do you mean that Second Prince will send troops to attack Delamock Province?" Charade asked.
"It's not an attack, it's annexation." Lorist said, "I said no one was a fool. Second Prince is not, how can he not see the obvious strategic intent of Second Highness? Even if he can't see it, now Delamock Province Just like a big piece of fat, with the greedy character of Second Prince, would he not bite? Even if he doesn't bite, someone will persuade him to bite.
Before Madras Dukedom was in front of Andinak Kingdom, now Madras Grand Duke has been hit by a stick to protect itself. Those who are interested will surely invite Second Prince to come for fun. Do you think that before Second Prince had to ask Madras Grand Duke to borrow food, can he still swallow the food-producing area in one bite? "
"Locke, who is the person you are interested in?"
"Those who don't want to see the revival of Krissen Empire, and those who don't want Second Highness to reunify Empire."
"Did Second Prince just lose the battle? Where did he come to attack Delamock Province?"
"Borrow, don't forget that his father-in-law Grand Duke Fisablen's border guard Legion has been kept full. There are 78,000 people, as long as Second Prince borrows 30,000, then he gathers those personal soldiers of Territory Aristocrat(s) to get five or six Ten thousand troops are very simple. It is enough for these forces to sweep Delamock Province. "
"Why are you definitely summer? Not spring?"
"In the spring Second Prince, we still ca n’t gather military rations. As soon as the wheat is harvested in the summer, he will immediately send troops."
"It's really a shame to give up here, such a good province for grain production ..." Charade sighs ...
"What's good here, except that the grain has neither iron ore nor horse production, the biggest disadvantage is that it is closed." Lorist shook his head.
"Closed? No? You see that it connects to Northern Land and Iberia Kingdom. It connects to Vanades City, and then connects to Sidol Province, Andinak Kingdom, and from Yungechandler Province to Four Great Dukedoms. The traffic is very convenient." Charade wondered.
"I mean closed, it means that it can only loop around inside Empire, you see our family Territory." Lorist pulled a Northern Land map: "Look, if you look for a port here in Blade Edge Mountain Range, then we I can connect to my island Territory, and then from the island Territory to the seaport of Tim, from there we can reach Morante City. From Morante City to Relic Islands, Romon Empire, the sea and the sky, let us fly. Now you understand why I insist on caravan Bring the family Territory with the refugees, where we are waiting to build the best home! "
"Locke, you are farther than we think ..."
"Of course, haha, this is why I will be Lord(s) and you are my Knight(s)."
"Locke, you are too stinky, I just took a picture of the horse ass, and you really take it ..."
...
