With the edict left by the empress, Meliwitz was promoted from Duke Emeritus to the title of Governor of the Town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He then gave the duke's palace that belonged to him to Kuzhi as a mansion to live in.

According to conventional logic, the treasury should spend gold coins to build a new palace for Meliwitz, but Meliwitz rejected the offer. He only renovated the side pavilion of the prince's Edmund's dormitory, and then lived here to guard his young son.

Melwiec was a man who didn't like pomp, and he wasn't like some nobles who always flocked to a large number of attendants as soon as they appeared.

Therefore, after Melwitz and Kuzhi came out of the Diet, only the two of them walked side by side, and returned to the dormitory as if they were walking.

Due to the commotion caused by Gordo, it was already early afternoon when they returned to the palace in Melwitz.

Avril had already taken a nap with little Edmund in her arms, and Melwitz didn't bother the two little ones. When the maid who was waiting on Melwitz received the order, she began to buse herself with preparing lunch and sending it to the courtyard where Melwitz was.

There is a flower garden outside the prince's dormitory, and in the center of the flower garden there is a round pavilion. The pavilion was furnished with intricately carved stone tables and stone benches, and Melwitz and Kuzhi were enjoying their belated lunch.

The stone table was already filled with rich food for the maids, Ku Zhi first picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of red wine, then put down the goblet and said, "You don't really plan to let me go to the northwest with the army to defend against the enemy, do you?"

Melwiitz was already hungry, and he swept away the roast meat on the silver plate in front of him before he spoke: "Of course not, that's just for the ministers, I actually have other plans." ”

Kuzhi looked at Melwidz's confident eyes, and although he didn't have any doubts in his heart, he couldn't figure out what Melwitz really thought in his heart.

"That's... What the hell are you going me to do?"

Melwitz put down the knife and fork in his hand, and drank the red wine in the glass before he said: "I am not worried about those things in the northwest, it is enough for Heramont to lead the army. Three days later, you nominally went out with the army, but in fact you went into hiding so that you could secretly investigate the case. ”

Ku Zhi felt in his heart that Melwiec's arrangement was a bit excessive, and this was not like his usual way of doing things.

Melwiitz looked at Ku Zhi hanging his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and he said: "What happened today is both abrupt and strange, then I can only push the boat with the current, and it is just an expedient measure to let you follow the army." ”

"As soon as the case in the imperial capital became a little eyebrow-raising, someone wanted me to leave, and Puluo had been invading the south for many years. Is the safety of the border really that important in the hearts of those people at this time? And the Puro army came earlier than in previous years, do you think so many coincidences are really coincidences?"

"Then what do you mean ......"

Melwitz didn't let Ku Zhi finish his words, so he interrupted: "It doesn't matter what I mean, since I have been appointed as the ruler of the town, I need to beware of the change of military power. This is just the right time to take advantage of this dispatch to the northwest and appoint Heramon as the commander of the empire. ”

Ku Zhi understood what Merwiitz was intent at this moment, and he didn't say much, but just asked, "How many troops do you plan to transfer to the northwest this time?"

"Five thousand is enough. ”

Melwitz raised his right palm and stretched out five fingers to Kuzhi, his expression full of confidence.

When Ku Zhi heard this, he asked in surprise, "Five thousand?!, aren't you teasing me again?"

Melwiitz couldn't understand why Kuzhi was surprised, so he asked, "Do you mean that you don't understand the habits of the Puro?"

"Habits?"

Kuzhi shook his head in a daze, he didn't understand what Melwiitz was referring to by "habits".

Melivitz took the trouble to explain to Kuzhi: "The Puro are a nomadic tribe, and they are very good at riding. He has a high level of mobility and is very good at running long distances. ”

He watched Ku Zhi listen carefully, so he said the combat deployment he had in mind.

"The mobility of the mobilized army is far from keeping up with the enemy, so it is only necessary to order the lords of the northwest to lead the army to form a supply line and defense line, and cooperate with the five thousand elite cavalry led by Heramon, this battle is not difficult to win. ”

Ku Zhi understood what "habits" meant, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"I think you should open up border trade with the Puro, and send emissaries to Huairou them. Sell the materials they need at a high price, and empty the economic reserves of the general tribe. ”

Then the right to trade will be appointed to one of the lords in the northwest, and when the other lords see the benefits, they will surely fight against each other. When the time comes, all you need to do is send a general to the northwest to reclaim the enclosed territory. ”

Melwitz picked up the decanter on the stone table and poured a little red wine into his goblet. He shook the wine in his glass casually and glanced at Kuzhi.

"We still have to fight this battle, if we don't let the people of the Puluo tribe suffer a little, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement what you said. ”

Ku Zhi agreed, and he changed his words and said, "I'm really curious why you handed over the Council to Arena, aren't you afraid that he will gather this power and turn it against us?"

Melwitz drank the red wine in his glass and sighed, "Instead of biting with others, it is better to watch others bite." Gordo, who usually doesn't listen to anything outside the window, behaves strangely today. If you don't take advantage of this, you will only be afraid of trouble, so it is just right for him to turn the finger on Arinor, and it is also good for Arena to be on guard everywhere. ”

After listening to Melwiez's words, Kuzhi began to understand in his heart that although Melwitz had taken power, he was still struggling.

"Judging from the performance of the Cabinet today, it has reached the stage of people's distraction, and we should arrange for some people to take up posts as soon as possible. ”

Melwiitz looked bitter and shook his head helplessly: "I will try my best to arrange it, but unfortunately there are too few civilian jobs in my hands now, and I can only choose from the army." ”

Ku Zhi opened his mouth and asked, "After Heramon led the army to the northwest, who do you plan to let take over the imperial capital guard?"

"I've secretly transferred Kaz back to the capital, and I'll put him in charge when the time comes. "The purpose of Merwiitz to transfer Kaz back was to strengthen the defenses around the imperial capital and form a horn with the imperial capital army led by Heramen. But after today's toss by Gordo, all the original deployment of Melwitz was disrupted, and there was no choice but to send Heramon

Melwitz originally planned to use Encofi's advice to mobilize the lords of the northwest to temporarily block the Pronan attack, and when Kaz returned, he would send Deng out to deter the alien race in the name of the dragon knights.
