Chapter 0456: On the Dragon and the Lion
Renard sat up from the bed and asked, "How did they hit you politically?"
He had heard in Sol that the Cronin family had borrowed the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce to sell the victims and deliberately smeared the Hope family, which should be regarded as a reputational suppression of Ferdinand.
Lei Ye has not been in contact with politics, or he has not had too deep contact, so he is not clear about the operation methods here, and he must understand it clearly in advance, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
Ferdinand sighed helplessly and said, "The Cronin family uses the Honeysuckle Chamber of Commerce to sprinkle eyeliner everywhere and monitor the movements of various regions of the kingdom, and it can be said that there is nothing in the entire king that he can't hear. ”
"They coerced the members of the Senate, coerced and lured the feudal officials, opposed or ignored all the decrees I had issued, and now my royal order cannot even leave the palace. ”
Although this is an exaggeration, it is enough to show that the other party is in a difficult situation now.
Ferdinand laughed rather self-deprecatingly: "I have been a king for nearly thirty years, and I think I am quite diligent, but I never thought that I could get mixed up like this. ”
Renard understands the other party's mood very well, and if one day his subordinates also rebel against him, he will also feel heartbroken.
But people have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.
Lei Ye asked rhetorically, "You should have a plan to deal with them, right?"
Ferdinand nodded nondeniably: "Otherwise, what did I call you to do, the fox is smart, and the hunter must be even smarter." ”
Renard shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and asked directly: "Then what is your plan......?"
Ferdinand's face gradually became cold: "There is an allusion in the East, called the bottom of the kettle, do you understand what it means?"
The corners of Lei Ye's mouth hooked up a playful smile: "Do you want to directly use troops against Kale County and Hailan Province?"
The other party's thoughts coincided with Renard's, which saved a lot of saliva.
Ferdinand raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that you know a lot, no wonder you can completely control Nanhuang County in just two or three years, that's right, this is my plan, isn't it very bold." ”
Hearing this, Lei Ye was dumbfounded, it seemed that Sylvia did not tell the other party about her plan to establish Gannan Province.
It's right to think about it, what you did was tantamount to digging into Ferdinand's corner, and Sylvia definitely couldn't in order to defend herself
Say it out.
People often say that girls are outward, and he can be regarded as seeing it today.
Renard poured himself a glass of water, moistened his throat, and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Ferdinand showed a meaningful expression: "I sent troops from the Rose Province to attack the northern part of Kale County, and you sent troops from Southern Wilderness County to attack the southern part of Kale County, and attacked from the north and south to destroy the Creighton family." ”
Lei Ye groaned for a moment and asked, "What should I do over there in Hailan Province?"
The Creighton family and the Cronin family are in the same spirit, and they will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Creighton family fall, and it is impossible for the other party not to understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth.
Ferdinand's expression gradually became solemn: "The Hailan Province is naturally contained by my king's army. ”
Renard nodded and asked with a smile, "So you can't move too many troops here in Cabbage County?"
Ferdinand nodded: "At most, 100,000, this is already the limit of what I can bear, after all, Hailan has a lot of land and resources, and the Cronin family has been operating for many years, and the number of private troops will not be too small." ”
This sentence is true, the Cronin family has secretly cultivated tens of thousands of mercenaries, and it is no problem to gather a few troops with more than 10,000 people in Hailan Province, which is like their own back garden.
At that time, the two sides will tear their faces, and I am afraid that there will be an earth-shattering battle, which is even enough to decide the life and death of Arthur's kingdom.
Speaking of this, Ferdinand's expression was solemn: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is the Rowling Kingdom, I don't know if there is chaos here, will they take the opportunity to enter, if so......"
Hearing this, Renard interrupted: "Don't worry, the Rowling Kingdom is now too busy to take care of itself, and we can only fight our own battles." ”
Ferdinand looked puzzled: "What did you do?"
Perhaps he had seen too many unbelievable methods of Lei Ye, and the first thing the king thought of was that he was doing bad to the Rowling Kingdom.
Renard explained simply: "I have a good friend named Leopold......"
After hearing this, Ferdinand nodded knowingly: "If your plan succeeds, I'm afraid the kingdom of Rowling will change." ”
He is now faintly jealous of Lei Ye's methods, knowing that this guy is scheming and a character who is not easy to handle.
Lei Ye didn't care what the other party thought, he only cared about his own interests: "I'll send troops to help you get something."
What's the benefit?"
If it was really in ancient China, the generals would negotiate the conditions with the emperor before sending troops to fight, they would definitely lose their heads immediately, and even the whole family would have to be unlucky.
However, this is in the West, and in another dimension, so it is necessary to negotiate conditions, and if he does not bring them up, King Ferdinand may still be suspicious.
Hearing this, Ferdinand first made a statement: It is the duty of a vassal to be loyal to the monarch, and you actually told me the conditions, such an expression.
Immediately after, he began to bargain: "Two hundred thousand gold coins for military expenses." ”
Two hundred thousand gold coins? Renard shook his head disdainfully when he heard this number: "I don't lack money, I just squeeze more than that." ”
Ferdinand didn't expect him to agree, so he didn't hesitate to add: "Hereditary duke." ”
Hereditary Duke? Lei Ye secretly scolded the other party for being shameless, if you make me a grand duke, I will definitely accept it without hesitation.
Hereditary Duke? Shit!
Looking at Renard's disdainful expression, Ferdinand clearly knew that he was definitely going to bleed profusely this time.
Do you really want to make him the governor of Gannan Province as my sister said?
No! Absolutely not! Isn't that any different from now!
After thinking for a long time, Ferdinand said, "I will make you a hereditary duke, and at the same time give you the entire Southern Wilderness County as a territory. ”
Hearing this, Renard interrupted unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, Nanhuang County was originally mine. ”
Ferdinand had an undeniable expression: "But you're still just a governor, aren't you?" ”
Lei Ye sneered secretly, the other party was coaxing him as a child.
He sighed softly and asked, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the allusion to a deer as a horse?"
Ferdinand, who has received higher education since he was a child and is well-read, could not know this, his face changed, and he did not answer.
Lei Ye continued: "How will you choose between the false title and the right, if you don't have the right in your hand, what does it count even if you are the king?"
Ferdinand's face became more and more ugly, and he knew that the other party was a subtle reminder of his current situation.
He silently took out a cigarette from Lei Ye's pocket and lit it, his movements were a little rusty, obviously not long after he started smoking: "Tell your conditions." ”
