Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 461 is about to fight

"His Royal Highness, this is the eagle message from Lord Camora just now." Genorio hurriedly walked into the study and presented a piece of gray silk to Lorist.

Lorist, who was discussing political affairs with Fatty Shi, took over the silk and quickly read the contents on it, his face immediately gloomy.

"What's the matter?" Fatty Shi asked.

"Some people are itchy, so I should teach them a lesson." Lorist handed the silk in his hand to Fatty Shi and said: "Look for yourself, Baron Camora is in Chixes, Fryward, Wei The logistics supply points set up in Swood and Delamarque provinces were attacked by unknown armed forces. Not only did the local nobles not cooperate with our investigation, but instead accused us that the camps we set up attracted the attention of the bandits and made their The territory has also suffered a lot of losses, and it requires our family to be responsible for compensation..."

"Bah!" Fatty Shi said disdainfully: "The thieves call to catch the thieves. Without the cooperation of the nobles in these territories, how could the camp we set up be attacked by the bandits. I even suspect that the bandits are the personal armed forces of these local lords. I didn't expect that. His Royal Highness has just left the eleven provinces in the central region. The nobles in the territories who have clamped their tails and pretended to be tortoises have become active, and they have hit our Norton family. Do they think our Norton family armed forces are so easy to bully? ?"

Due to the division of troops, the Norton family armed forces will start a winter raid from Magik Province to Andrów Province and Podoorg Province. His Royal Highness ordered the 300,000 troops under his command to the southwestern provinces early at the end of September. Even the White Lions deployed on the border between Magik and Andrów provinces also handed over their garrison to a guard regiment led by Oviz and drove to Hans De Moss after receiving it, so that it can be used in the rainy season. After that, he could immediately approach the border of the two provinces of the former Duchy of Rulm, posing a threat to the business alliance.

However, as soon as the Second Highness and his army left, the situation in the eleven provinces of central China that could have been described as calm began to become lively. Those territorial nobles who were obediently with their tails lost their heads from the oppression of the two mountains, His Royal Highness and his 300,000 army, and began to think of ways to make up for the fact that His Royal Highness was sitting in the 11 provinces in the middle of the past few years. Various economic losses. The method is very simple. The big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimp. In just two months, there have been more than ten territorial conflicts and family wars among the territorial nobles of the central provinces. Some lords also pretended to be bandits. Block the way and rob merchants and passers-by.

But I didn't expect that now the nobles in the territories were still armed with the idea of ​​the Norton family. Think about it, the eleven provinces in the central region have been raided by the Second Royal Highness in recent years to raise three hundred thousand troops. Although the weather is good and the harvest is good, it is guaranteed not to starve to death. Not only the leaders, but almost all the nobles in the territories have a hard time.

In order to complete the winter raid, the Norton family plans to relocate more than half a million immigrants from these two provinces and to ensure the supply of armaments and logistical materials for the front line after they occupy the provinces of Anderwów and Podoorg. They have specially set up logistical supply lines in ten provinces. The Hebao camp has been busy accumulating all kinds of supplies. The huge camp has only three thousand guards. It has naturally become a big piece of fat in the eyes of the nobles in the central provinces. .

Fatty Shi carefully looked at the content written on the silk and said: "Baron Camora did not mention in the letter the casualties of the guard battalion soldiers in the garrison camp. I think it should be minor and it shouldn't matter. However, he said endless attacks and Theft has severely affected the logistics and storage missions. Due to the remote route, the Fifth Temporary Guard Corps led by Baron Farrea is in a state of lack of force for the security and patrol of this logistics supply line. I am worried that I will be dragged down by exhaustion when I am running around. I hope to increase my troops so as not to cause serious consequences..."

Lorist nodded: "Yes, this logistics supply line is too long, and we didn't expect such a situation. It seems that we have to increase our troops to maintain the security of this logistics supply line. But before the increase in troops , I have to teach those territorial nobles who do not know good or bad a profound lesson, really when our Norton family dare not fight back?"

"Genorio!"

"His Royal Highness, what's your order?" Genorio was clever and quickly stood at attention.

"You take this letter, and then write an urgent document and send it to your majesty overnight, saying that I want to clean up the territorial nobles along this logistics line. If the safety of this logistics supply line cannot be guaranteed, our Norton family will not be able to There will be a surprise attack in winter." Lorist thought for a while and ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it right away." Genorio saluted and exited the study.

It seems that Lorist has made up his mind to clean up the nobles in the central provinces. Fatty Shi persuaded: "His Royal Highness, the war is coming, we only need to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line, there is no need to entangle the local nobles."

Lorist thoughtfully tapped his finger on the table and replied: "No, you don't understand. It is very simple to only ensure the safety of this logistics supply line, but I am worried that the nobles of the territories who are expelled by us will be embarrassed and angry. , Make brain-destructive actions that hurt others and disadvantages. They may be angrily taking risks because of the strength of our family, and unwillingly send people to sneak into the camp to set fire to the supplies.

For the local nobles, this is just an act of venting their anger, but for our family, as long as the supplies of a camp are destroyed, the logistics supply line will be over, at least it will delay the implementation of our plan for a long time. time. The winter is short, we must hurry up, if the planned arrangements cannot be completed, it will add a lot of trouble and unnecessary difficulties to us.

So for our Norton family, we must completely eliminate all hidden dangers along this logistics supply line. No matter who it is, as long as we are involved in the unidentified armed and thieves who attacked our camp, we will chase to the end and uproot them all. This is the real and effective way to maintain the safety of this logistics supply line. "

"Then do you think the Second Highness will agree with you to do this?" Fatty Shi asked.

"He will definitely agree. Now whoever interferes with the strategic plan for the winter raid he arranged will become his enemy. As long as our Norton family armed forces carry out a raid in the winter as scheduled, then even if we clear all the central provinces The nobleman of the territory will pretend that he hasn't seen anything..."

Lorist was taken aback for a moment, his face changed: "Suck! We were fooled..."

"En?" Fatty Shi was puzzled: "What was fooled?"

Lorist stood up and circled in the study: "I suspect that we have fallen into your Majesty's scheme. He is likely to use our family's arms to clear out the territorial nobles in the central provinces."

Fatty Shi's face also became serious: "Do you have any basis?"

"It's very simple. We have long since obtained permission from your Majesty to freely choose to set up logistics supply camps in the central provinces. Everyone knows the importance of this logistics supply line for our family to arm the winter raid, so why do the central provinces But the local lords still have the idea of ​​hitting the logistics supply line of our family? Obviously your Majesty has never warned them...hehe..."

Lorist sneered: "It's not that I doubt it. Think about it. With your majesty's experience and careful thoughts, would he make such a simple mistake? If he warned the local nobles, no one would beat us. The idea of ​​the family's logistics supply line, otherwise it means that they are provoking your majesty. There is no warning, so the local nobles can look at our family's logistics supply line. Even if there is a conflict, it is only private between our family and the local nobles. conflict……"

Shi Pang nodded: "It's the same as when our convoy traveled northward through the Kingdom of Antinac, the Second Highness used our convoy to deal with the nobles in the territory. One is to add traffic to us, and even use us to deal with those locals in the future. The lord’s affairs come to catch us. Now he needs us to join the war, so he pretends not to see it. After the empire is unified, he can mention the old things again and use this to suppress our Norton family or force us to follow his arrangements.

The second is to use us to eliminate the territorial nobles of these central provinces. After all, these territorial nobles are originally under the four great princes of the central four countries, and they are not in the same mind with His Highness. So the more we clear, the happier your Highness. Because the canonized territories of these local nobles can be reclaimed by him and returned to the royal family, effectively strengthening his control over the provinces in the central region.

The last point is that the relationship between the territorial nobles of the central provinces and the original three central princes is complicated. Our family armed forces to ensure the safety of the logistics supply line to clear them, it will inevitably make us and the remaining local nobles and the three princes Guilty. This should be something that His Royal Highness is very happy to see. It has avoided the expansion of our four alliance forces in the North and the communication with the three grand princes. This is probably the balance of power..."

"I think our majesty should think so. After all, the strength of our Norton family is comparable to that of the kingdom. He has always kept taboo and guard against our family. That's why he set up so much first." Lorist Very calmly commented: "But is it useful to do this? The pattern is so small, it will only make us look down upon. As long as the strength of our family remains strong, even if he unifies the empire, what can it do with our family? Does he dare to really tear his face and go to war with our family?"

Fatty Shi laughed: "He really doesn't dare at this point. Don't look at him sitting on an army of 500,000, but he also knows in his heart that it is not our Norton family armed opponent. But your Highness, the question now is who we should send. To complete the security of the logistics supply line and eliminate the attackers who pose a threat to our logistics support camp? The Flying Tiger Legion and the Rock Legion are advancing to Magik Province, should they send troops to sweep it up?"

"No," Loriste replied, "The Flying Tigers and the Rock Legion are going to Magik Province to prepare for the winter raid on Andrwów and Potoorg Provinces. It is now the end of October, waiting for them to arrive. Majik didn't have much time to rest and rest. There was no need to let them fight against the local nobles and bandits, so as not to delay the time to attack as scheduled.

I am going to transfer a corps from the Cavalry Regiment and let Jost lead them to the central provinces to reinforce Faria and ensure the security and patrol of the logistics supply line. As a light cavalry regiment, their mobility is sufficient to deal with the private armies of bandits and local nobles. At the same time, I am going to bring El and Reddy back, and they will lead a thousand guards to clear the territorial nobles along the logistics supply line, and uproot the local nobles who are fighting our family's ideas, thinking that the latecomers will stop. "

"His Royal Highness, what if Baron Jost and El are brought back to the Cavalry Hunter?" said Fatty Shi.

"It's okay, there are Yuri and Vassimma knights in the Cavalry. Dealing with the grass barbarian tribes on the Northeast Prairie, the two of them are enough to deal with. Jost has been in the Cavalry for several years. He goes to the central provinces to relax. As for El, he was sent to the Cavalry Regiment because Yuri was injured before. Now Yuri has returned. I am going to let him leave the Cavalry Regiment and wait until this war is over. The commander of the new Fifth Guards Corps ~www.readwn.com~Gellington 6th General Calendar October 31, 1786, because the Norton family's logistic supply line and logistics to Magik Province To ensure that the camp was threatened by unidentified armed forces, bandits and local nobles, Lorist urgently mobilized the commander of the Cavalry Regiment, Jost, led a corps to reinforce. At the same time, Reddy and El were ordered to bring a thousand guards to investigate and clear those opposing forces. Unidentified armed men, bandits and local nobles threatened by the logistics supply line.

As of November 30th, the Norton family armed forces have set off a series of **** storms in various provinces along the logistics supply line. Nearly a hundred bandits and horse bandits have raided the guard team led by Reddy and El. The chasing and cavalry led by St. Stewart brought down more than 50 territories and nobles who were accused of being linked with these bandits and horse bandits. The family territory was also wiped out.

There were less than a hundred territorial nobles in the central provinces that the Second Royal Highness enshrined, but now they have been cleared by the Norton family. Suddenly, the sordid reputation of the Norton family's armed forces spread to the provinces of the Antinac Kingdom. There are almost a few ghosts along the logistics supply line. No one dares to approach this line. Even if they have to pass, most of them choose to make a big circle. Willing to approach those logistics support camps...

On November 20th, Lorist headed a thousand guards and set off for Magik Province. He was accompanied by Hughes, the second-class sword master of the family. Those who came to see off were Princess Silvia, four concubines, and two sons. There are also some senior members of the family.

After bidding farewell to Princess Silvia and the others one by one. Lorist said to Baron Belunek, commander of the First Guards Corps who came to see him off: "You are responsible for the safety of the North."

Baron Belunek gave a knightly ceremony: "Please rest assured, your lord, I will live up to my mission!"

Lorist nodded, mounted his horse and ordered: "Get out."
