Chapter 12 Talking about Charles to the sky

"What Your Excellency Charles means is that we take the initiative to give them enough food to help them solve the problem of survival in winter, and then put out a enough bait to lure them to be reluctant to give up, and then to sow discord at this time, right?"

Sure enough, he is a sage of a country, and it is not for nothing that Merlin has a huge reputation in the Kingdom of Great Britain, and after Charles just said the reason for the kingdom's previous failure, he instantly thought of what Charles was going to say next.

"Yes, it's worthy of Master Merlin, you know what I want to say before I even open my mouth." Charles feigned surprise as he looked at Merlin, and a sycophant slapped it casually.

In fact, Charles's strategy is really simple, but it should be said that the war thinking on the European continent at this time is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period in China.

In fact, this strategy is just a piece of tissue paper that can be broken with a stab, but everyone is used to gathering their own soldiers and horses when the war starts, and they face to face and put them on the front. Therefore, under the confinement of this thought, at most, they are desperately playing the formation on the battlefield, and they don't think about whether they can make some small moves outside the battlefield.

However, as soon as Merlin spoke, everyone present immediately figured it out, yes, since the opposite side will unite and not fight because of the lack of food in winter, then help them solve the food problem in advance, then it is not possible to take advantage of the weakness of the people in their internal discord.

Thinking of this, all the nobles stared at Charles who was standing in the field with a peculiar look, how long do you say this person's brain and heart are, why are there so many twists and turns, how did this kind of pit man think of him.

Especially the Prince of Ryans, who has been in contact with Charles, he originally knew that Charles had a gap in his heart, and his knowledge and vision were good, and now Charles showed his ability in strategy in front of so many people, which made his inner idea of accepting Charles for his own use even more urgent.

When no one was paying attention to him, Charles glanced vaguely at Ryans who was sitting under King Uther, because of the existence of the bracelet, Ryans's mind could be said to be completely defenseless against Charles, and it was clearly displayed in front of him.

When he sensed that Ryan's heart was more urgent to accept himself, Charles smiled in his heart, and the seeds he planted were about to sprout, and then he could harvest them as long as he carefully irrigated and given enough time.

Then, I should continue with what I had done and carefully plant another seed.

Charles coughed a few times to moisten his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to himself again, and then continued to speak.

"Roughly I would like to say that as Master Merlin said just now, now that the Saxons have just landed in Great Britain, we will first organize a team to go and block some time, and then during this time we will need to collect a batch of food and transport it to the rear of the front, and put a force there, and after deployment, the front line troops will pretend to be defeated and retreat to lead the Saxons here. At this time, the troops guarding the grain should pretend to suddenly find the Saxons, leave in a panic, and remember to set fire to it when retreating, pretending to be caught off guard and have no time to move the grain and can only be burned. However, the number of this army should not be too much, but it should not be too small, and the batch of grain that was ready to be burned should be piled up in the corner in advance, isolated from the rest of the grain, and the grain to be burned should not be too much, but it should also not be too little, otherwise it will be detected. ”

After listening to Charles's tirade just finished, everyone in the meeting room looked at Charles blankly, they had wanted to throw the food directly on the front line and give it directly to the Saxons, without thinking about whether this would make the Saxons on the other side find out their thoughts.

"Ahem, what's next?" Seeing the stunned expressions of the nobles below, King Uther hurriedly asked Charles about his next plan.

"King, after extinguishing a fierce fire, the Saxons will be relieved to accept this batch of food that is enough for them to survive a winter, but this time the goal of coming out to loot is accomplished, but there is still a lot of time before it enters winter, and in front of them are the two options of the fertile land of Great Britain or the return to the icy north of the continent."

"I think anyone who is a fool knows which one to choose."

Charles spread his hands, with a pretended helpless look on his face, which made the nobles laugh a few times in response to the occasion, although they didn't smile, which made the corners of Charles's eyes jump, and it seemed that even if he crossed himself, he had no sense of humor. But it doesn't matter in the first place.

"And then it's time for the main thing, we need to divide each other, and as far as I know, there are good options. One was the leader of the Saxon coalition for so many years, and their leader Kols was of great prestige among the Saxons, and if the Saxons established a kingdom, he was a worthy king, and he also had an excellent son, which ensured the loyalty of those tribes who submitted to him. ”

"However, there is a tribe among the Saxons that has suddenly risen in recent years, that is, you learned from the front that the tribe that believes in a god, a few years ago it was an unknown ordinary Saxon tribe, but since they began to believe in a god a few years ago, this tribe has begun to become powerful, but because this tribe has been careful not to be known by outsiders, until this year they made a splash, relying on hundreds of warriors of their own tribe to defeat the army of the Burgundians."

"And this is our best chance, the Saxons believe in the strong, and the sudden rise of a tribe will inevitably make Coles wary of this tribe and want to deal with it quickly. So we can send someone to pretend to be worshipping Coles' bravery, lead an army to make a fake surrender, and then sow discord. When there was a conflict between the two tribes, the man we sent was to tell Coles privately that at this time only by getting enough records could subdue all the Saxons, and he could pretend to have our information and could lead Coles around Hadrian's Wall and attack us" Charles stopped because he did not know the name of the city in Great Britain.

"Carlisle, the most important city in our kingdom behind Hadrian's Wall, and the most important fortress for us to resist the Saxons on the front." Merlin spoke, knowing when Charles stopped because he was unfamiliar with the geography of Great Britain.

"Then let the people sent to attack here with Coles, and then we will gather a large army to ambush them here, as for where to ambush, because I don't know where to ambush, so it is up to you to decide. As long as the ambush is successful, our plan is half complete. ”

"Half?" A nobleman asked in bewilderment, he had already completely accepted Charles's plan, and they could not imagine how Charles came up with it. However, in his opinion, if the words that Charles just said were really successful, it would definitely be the greatest victory of the Emillot dynasty in resisting the Saxon invasion in the past few decades, a great victory that had already boosted the confidence of the people of the kingdom, and it was not enough, it was only half the plan.

"Of course, if that's all the time, then the food we sent earlier will really be too bad."

"Moreover, this ambush is successful, what can we do, in addition to making Coles's prestige in the Saxons greatly reduced, we are only repelling their invasion this year, but because of the food we sent before, they have already obtained the initial goal of this invasion, but the loss is a little bigger, what is the difference."

"So what's next is the most important part."
