After the feast, Louis XII had planned to organize a counteroffensive immediately. However, the newly promoted Viscount of Lafite, John. Rafi stopped him:

"Your Majesty, at this time, we can't make any moves, especially not fight back!" These are all tactics that Marin secretly confesses.

"Why?" Louis XII was puzzled. The sworn enemy has left, shouldn't he take the opportunity to counterattack?

John. Raffi recalled the contents of Marin's letter and replied:

"If we are in a hurry to fight back now, it would be fine if we could defeat the Spanish army at once, but if we could not defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, it is likely that the Spaniards would regret it and transfer that guy Gonzalo back!"

Louis XII thought that was really the case. If Gonzalo. Morality. As soon as Córdoba left, the French began to organize counterattacks and even achieved certain results, doesn't that prove from the side that Gonzalo was wrong? Once the guy was transferred back, the previous efforts of the French were in vain. Therefore, it is really necessary to wait, lest the Spaniards regret it.

"What's more, the Spaniards have sent a few big nobles to take over the military power, but as soon as they arrive, they will certainly not overturn the military deployment plan left by Gonzalo at once. At this point, we fought back, but it was just the same old way. Besides, a few people have just arrived, and they haven't been able to get their hands on the military power. ”

"So, we're going to wait a while, wait for these scraps to get the military power. Moreover, when they come to power, there is another benefit......"

"What's the benefit?" Several other French favorites asked with interest.

"In order to prevent the military power from being controlled by the ministers, Ferdinand II specially sent five Spanish nobles to come over and take power together. Although in this way, it will avoid the dominance of one family, but it is also prone to a serious problem - infighting! As long as time passes, without our intervention, those five people will also fight internally for control of the army. Once their fighting intensified, there was bound to be a certain amount of confusion within the Spanish army. That's the best chance we'll ever have! "John. Raffi pretended to be calm and memorized this large section of "lines". At the end, he also put on a posture of being a master of the world......

Louis XII and a group of French favorites were immediately shocked, and even Charles, the former Duke of Guedes, who was truly scheming, was also very interested in John Brown. Raffi was impressed and very much agreed with his judgment.

"Awesome, my Viscount John. So, for the next period of time, we will stand still and wait for them to have civil strife? Louis XII said happily.

John. Rafi shook his head in a pretended manner and said:

"No, we can't wait, it's better to pretend to be a little frustrated, to pretend that we can't beat the Spanish army. This tactic was called a deliberate show of weakness, and was intended to strengthen Ferdinand II's determination to transfer Gonzalo. At the moment, it is estimated that Ferdinand II is also conflicted in his heart, for fear that those people are not our opponents. If that happens, Ferdinand II might reverse his mind and bring Gonzalo back. Therefore, the minister's opinion is that this period of time was deliberately weak, so that Ferdinand II mistakenly thought that these bales were very capable. In this way, it can also strengthen his determination to transfer Gonzalo away and prevent him from repenting! ”

"And if we show weakness, we may make those five bales mistakenly think that the French army is nothing more than that. Then, they will rest assured that they will fight infighting. If we are too strong, these people may unite and fight against us! Only by making them mistakenly think that they have the chance to win, will they engage in infighting with peace of mind! ”

After saying that, after a long silence, Louis XII took the lead in applauding and said:

"That's a great point! I suppose you have no problem with me promoting him to viscount, right? ”

The French aristocrats present applauded and shook their heads again and again. Just kidding, their brains, absolutely can't think of this. Moreover, France is the king who has the final say, and even if they oppose it, it will be invalid, and it is better to sell face.

Next, the French army in the city of Naples stopped a lot. Even when the Spanish soldiers shouted outside the city, they didn't scold back. Moreover, the city was deliberately filled with old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and asked them to pretend to sigh.

Sure enough, the Spanish soldiers under the city were very surprised to see that the French at the head of the city did not scold back. Moreover, they also saw the old and sick French soldiers sighing on the city walls. Then, tired of scolding, the Spanish soldiers returned to the camp and reported the unusual situation.

Gonzalo. Morality. Francis, the lieutenant left behind by Córdoba, instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but could not say anything was wrong. And a couple of new commanders discussed there:

"Could it be some conspiracy?"

"Can't you? That's the King of France! The king doesn't want to lose face? ”

"Well, yes, it looks like there's something going on in the city......"

Then, a few guys made up the scenes of infighting and food shortages in the city on their own, and even suspected that Louis XII had died......

Soon, a few Spanish bigwigs blindly made up their own brains and spread in the Spanish army camp. When the news reached one of the tents in the main camp, the eyes of a Spaniard dressed as an officer flashed......

That night, a secret message was sent to the North Sea Country through carrier pigeons. After Marin received the secret letter, his mouth grew in surprise - why didn't these goods write?

However, the next day, Marin passed the contents of the secret message to John in the middle of the night through another messenger pigeon system. Rafite also gave Rafite some other instructions, including two sets of plans to show weakness.

John. When Raffi received the secret letter, he was also shocked, and was greatly shocked by the whimsy of several Spanish nobles. As for Marin's plan to show weakness, John. Raffite thought about it, but ruled out the option of pretending that King Louis XII was critically ill. He feared that the scheme would be regarded as an unlucky curse by Louis XII. So, he only chose the second option......

"Your Majesty, we deliberately revealed false news to the Spaniards, pretending that there is a shortage of food in the city!" John. Raffi offered advice.

"Pretending to be short of food? Yes, but how to reveal it to the French? ”

"We can do a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, we send messengers on horseback and deliberately intercept information by them. On the other hand, we deliberately sacrificed one or two carrier pigeons to make them intercept ......"

"Wait...... How did the carrier pigeon deliberately let the other party intercept it? Louis XII asked curiously.

"It's simple, we release pigeons during the day, deliberately so that they can find out in advance. In addition, we tied a little more and a little heavier letters to the carrier pigeon. In this way, the carrier pigeon does not fly high and is easy to be shot down by the other party. In this way, the fake news was intercepted by them......"

Louis XII thought for a moment and said:

"This is a good idea, I am afraid that the carrier pigeon has not been intercepted, and the country will receive false news, and there may be chaotic ......"

John. Raffi said confidently:

"Your Majesty don't worry, we will release a batch of carrier pigeons at dawn in advance and tell the country that the news that the carrier pigeons that flew back in two days is false. Of course, there are marks on the fake letter, and you will understand it when you see it! ”

"That's a good idea! That's it, you send someone to prepare a fake letter! ”

"Yes!"
