My Empire War Game

Chapter 470 Betrayal

Su Lun's gaze fell on a figure in the corner of the hall, who nodded slightly at Su Lun. He is the envoy of the Jinyiwei town appointed by Su Lun. After the system is strengthened, the handling ability of these Jinyiwei far surpasses their counterparts in the Ming Dynasty.

There are many other places that say that a large number of spies have been placed in the homes of the nobles and even many merchants in the entire city of San Firto. Their identities are also different, ranging from housekeepers, coachmen, guards, servants and maids.

Since he came to the throne, Su Lun has been suppressing these nobles step by step. Although Su Lun seems to have flattened the thorns on the surface, and the rest are honest, he actually doesn't think these nobles will Keeping one's own law and order, there is a saying that blocking people's money is like killing parents. Su Lun is not just about money, even his rights have been suppressed for the most part.

These nobles were only forced by Su Lun's fierce power, and they all acted honestly and harmlessly to humans and animals. In fact, as long as Su Lun showed his weak side, these nobles would immediately become cannibals. tiger. Su Lun was well aware of the viciousness of these people, so he never relaxed his surveillance on them.

Although he is not very familiar with political struggles, he has watched so many TV dramas in his previous life, and there are many lessons learned. The most famous example is Emperor Chongzhen. As a result, we had to hang the southeast branch on Meishan.

After Jin Yiwei collected a lot of information during this period, Su Lun discovered that the reason why the southern rebels had the courage to attack Su Lun was because of a private transaction between the northern nobles and the southern nobles.

Their purpose is very simple, that is to transfer all the elite troops near the city of San Firto to fight a decisive battle with the southern rebels, and then these nobles who have been accumulating strength will backstab and fight back.

Although this is very risky, there will be no chance if you don't do it again. As Su Lun attacks the nobles, wins over the common people, distributes the cultivated land, and unifies the tax system, the life of the ordinary people at the bottom is getting better and better. As time goes by, the common people who have benefited They will support Su Lun even more, and it will be more difficult to overthrow him, and this is done on the premise of harming their interests. Su Lun will be surprised that these nobles can endure such a long time before retaliating.

These aristocrats have long lost the demeanor of their ancestors. Strictly keeping secrets is the top priority for such a big rebellion, but what about them? These aristocrats were just holding gatherings and discussing secretly, using the aristocratic ball as a cover, thinking that they had avoided Su Lun's eyes and ears, but they didn't know that all of their affairs had long since fallen to Jin Yiwei, who paid close attention to these people inside.

Undoubtedly, what these people discussed that day was compiled into a book and sent to Su Lun's study at night. As for the southern nobles, Jin Yiwei is currently short of manpower, and too confidential information cannot be collected.

Su Lun has been looking for opportunities to weaken the strength of those nobles, but there has never been a good excuse. Now these nobles finally jumped out on their own initiative. He didn't kill these things before the incident happened, but pushed the boat along Do them a favor.

As the leading actor and director of this scene, Su Lun is still very willing to cooperate with the acting, but his appearance fee is a bit expensive.

After hearing that Su Lun decided to lead the army to go out in person, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of many nobles in the hall. Their original intention was to destroy Su Lun's army, but Su Lun actually went in person this time. Since this is the case, we should solve it together. As for the loss, it is only the southern nobles in the eyes.

The army recruited by San Firto City was taken away by Su Lun, and the soldiers he brought from Zhenbei City were also taken away. Only 6,000 people were left to guard the city, and the defense of the entire Royal City became empty. Of course, when Su Lun made the decision, some officials objected, saying that this would make the royal city empty and that more nobles should be summoned to form an army of nobles.

It's just that this proposal was directly rejected by him. If the city of San Firto was not empty, how could those people be allowed to make trouble, and how could they all be buried? The stage has been set up for you, now it's up to you supporting actors to start the show.

There are many things that the army needs to do to go out. In the past when the town was in Beicheng, the number of troops was small, and a team of several hundred people could go out quickly. Now there is an army of 25,000 people in San Ferto City. The number of civilians who are no less than the regular army, the 50,000 army, just consumes a lot of money every day.

It was already a month later when the official expedition started, and the 50,000 army was marching towards the south of the Kingdom of Florence.

The army headed south all the way, and about half a month later, Su Lun entered the territory of the southern nobles, and the war officially began at this moment.

"His Majesty!"

Kent stepped forward to salute: "These southern rebels have never intended to fight us decisively. They just keep fortifying the wall and clearing the field, fighting back and retreating. It seems that they have been tempting our army to go deep!"

At this time, Su Lun naturally wouldn't hide from his opponents, nodded and said, "I know, these people are indeed luring the enemy to go deep!"

"It's just that what they didn't expect was that the lure was not a fat sheep, but a giant dragon!"

"Your Majesty, if we continue to go deeper, the logistical supplies of the 50,000 troops will not be able to keep up." Kent said helplessly: "Those rebels are strong and clear, and we haven't raised a single grain of food here in the south. The food in the abandoned cities has also been transported away, or we"

Su Lun understood what he meant, which was to plunder the civilians in the city directly. Those civilians still had some food in their hands, but once he did so, even if he defeated the southern rebels in the end, what he got was nothing more than a broken wall ruins.

Then he spent so much effort just to get a dilapidated territory? Su Lun didn't want a devastated Florentine kingdom. What he wanted was the rich South.

Su Lun said with a serious expression: "No looting is allowed! Don't worry about the logistics supplies, someone will deliver them soon!"

"It's Your Majesty!" Seeing Su Lun's stern expression, Kent immediately stood up straight and said.

Only then did Su Lun nodded in satisfaction: "Do you think these southern rebels will hold on? Hehe, to put it lightly, how much damage will be caused in this process, do you think those rebels will be able to bear it? "

Looking at the other generals in the tent, Su Lun explained with a slight smile: "The provinces in the south are well-developed in commerce and often rely on commerce and trade. Do you think those caravans dare to come to do business when we start a war with such fanfare? Climbing up the walls and clearing the fields, food, bridges, wells and even forests close to the city will be destroyed, and the villages will be relocated. This kind of destruction is enough to make them feel heartbroken.”

For those greedy nobles, short-term profit loss is acceptable, but it is for the huge profits later, but once the capital invested is too much, these short-sighted nobles will not accept it, so the southern rebels can't support it How long.

The many generals around him cast admiring glances immediately, and blurted out continuous flattery, and those nobles who took refuge in Su Lun shamelessly began to flatter them.

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, unparalleled in the world, and the rebellion of a small thief can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!"

"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty. I can't compare with ordinary people like me. I can see through the falsehood of those traitors at a glance!"

Su Lun shook his head: "It's just that I observed more carefully, it's not a big deal!" Although he said so, it feels really good to be praised.

Therefore, it is easy to drift away after being a king for a long time, and only a good man like Su Lun who can see his own heart clearly can remain unmoved.

Su Lun, the seducer of the southern rebels, kept going south. Su Lun also pretended not to find anything very cooperative, and even sent some soldiers to take over the city, deliberately weakening the strength. After two thousand miles away from San Firto City, those people in Wangcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to attack.

After a convoy transporting food and grass entered the southern territory, it was attacked by southern rebel cavalry on the way. The convoy was manned by those aristocrats, so it naturally dispersed in a crowd. The supplies brought in could be taken away. , The ones that couldn’t be taken away were directly set on fire.

The news of the destruction of logistics was naturally sent back immediately, and then Wangchengzhong will organize a new batch of supplies to be transported there. However, a batch of logistics supplies has just been delivered at this time, and new logistics supplies are still being prepared. Cannot be dispatched in a short time.

Problems have arisen in a series of things, from the recruitment of civilian husbands, the mobilization of vehicles, the collection of grain and grass, and so on. Those left-behind nobles began to shirk each other, looking for various reasons to delay the time. Although Phyllis has handled government affairs for a period of time, she still has some headaches when faced with the cooperation of these old foxes below. If she has enough time, she can deal with them one by one. , but now the situation is urgent, and there is no time for her to deal with it.

As the minister who stayed to assist Phyllis, Rex immediately noticed that there were not many things going on. As an old fox who has been an official for 30 years, he is naturally familiar with this kind of trick. In the past, there were only one or two problems at most. , how can there be problems in every link of this kind.

"Your Majesty, these nobles have teamed up!" Rex immediately found Phyllis Hui to report.

"Your Majesty is currently on an expedition. If there are logistics problems, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Phyllis frowned: "Sir Rex, do you have any good ideas?"

"There is a way, but the time is too urgent, and it is very likely that we will not be able to catch up"

"Don't worry about that much, solve it quickly."

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei asks to see you." At this moment, a guard hurried over and said.
