Realm of Power

"Well, the Fezer people really took action against the south!"

Under the uncertain candlelight, Si Duhan seemed very calm about the report sent by Princess Lunsha, forcing the Fezer people to take action against the south. This was the core of the empire's entire strategic plan for Fezer. After all, Fezer had roots in the south for hundreds of years. It is a powerful country in the past years and has several vassal kingdoms in the south. As a support, it can be said to be a big tree with deep roots. The best way to deal with such a country is to consume its national power. Moreover, Fezer is a slave country that treats vassal countries very harshly. In Fezer's eyes, the vassal kingdom is a slave country. Take the back garden and take it away without any scruples

"Looking from the map, the most direct way for the Empire to enter South Europe Barrow is not from the inland sea area, but directly south along the outer sea transportation line. This is destined to be a life and death battle between the Empire and Feize!" Si Duhan His eyes flickered, and he remembered that before setting off from the empire, the emperor himself pointed at the continent depicted on the table. "What Tu said to himself" The entire Obaro saw the Fezer people advancing triumphantly on the Paput battlefield. It was completely different from the disastrous defeat in the North-South War. The empire's reputation in southern Obaro was greatly damaged. In fact, it didn't matter. , few people will notice that the more troops the Fezers use, the more materials they need to mobilize and consume."

"Fezer has never been a country rich in materials. Excluding the income from foreign trade exchanges and the part deprived from the southern vassal kingdoms, the remaining part is only one-third. Fezer's agricultural production still relies on slave farming, which is inefficient and long-term. The focus of expansion is on the inland, so fishing is not an option either.”

"The failure of the marriage with Papute ultimately made Fezer's dilemma even worse. Hundreds of thousands of troops have entered the battlefield, and the supplies consumed every day are astronomical figures. We have used the Papute war to delay After living with Feize for three months, even if Feize had all the hoards before, they have now been exhausted. In order to support Feize, there is only one direction in which Feize can obtain resources. pbtt. That is the south, and this is also The purpose of letting you go to the south is that no matter how lush the tree is, if the root system cannot absorb nutrients from the land, the tree crown will only wither quickly. In order to maintain this military strength, Feize Kingdom is the only one in the end. All you can do is choose between burning the country and burning the south, and all you have to do is push the south to side with the empire at this time! ""What are your plans now, Princess?"

Si Duhan took a deep breath. Putting down the report in his hand, he asked calmly. Although he had expected it, but when he faced it, Si Duhan could still feel an oppressive atmosphere coming towards his face. This was the breath of the times, Si Duhan Khan felt as if he was standing on a high place, watching history happen before his eyes. The time he had arrived was not short, and he had roughly figured out the situation of the ten countries south of Feize. In addition to vassal forces such as Nan'an Fu, there are still kingdoms with a certain degree of strength. From the perspective of the Feize people, it is not difficult to understand the motivation for the killings in Kyoto. It is not only to seize the wealth of the southern nobles, but also because Fetzer felt the ambition and restlessness coming from the south

Ever since the disastrous defeat in the Civil War, instability has begun to appear in the South. With the Central Eight-Nation Alliance declaring war on Fezer at the same time, this instability finally broke out. Fezer was suddenly forced into a situation where he had to do his best to maintain it. pbtt. For those who had been restless for a long time As far as the South is concerned, it undoubtedly believes that a golden opportunity has arrived.

The situation at that time was absolutely chaotic. Si Duhan only vaguely understood the situation. The southern nobles in the capital of Feize had been there some time ago. Suddenly jointly asked the Fezer people to reduce tribute taxes. For the Fezer people, who had always been strong, this move was like a slap in the face. However, at that time, the Fezer army was 200,000 deep in the Paput battlefield. The eight central countries suddenly allied themselves to declare war on Fezer, and the situation suddenly changed. In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, Fezer could only grit his teeth and agreed to the request of the southern nobles. If you understand the nature of the Fezer people, you will know that the ferocious Fezer people are just concessions they have to make. Once they get the opportunity, they will definitely I will step back without hesitation

However, these southern nobles had been blinded by the sudden victory. They once again proposed that various countries send servants to assist the Fezer people in fighting, and asked Fezer to pay service fees. At the same time, they also transported a large amount of food from their own countries to the capital of Fezer. Selling them at high prices caused a sudden uproar in the capital of Fezer, causing the price of food to change three times a day. Merchants also followed suit and stocked up. Juqi directly caused more than 4,000 civilians to starve to death in King Feize within just half a month because they could not afford food. The streets were crowded with a large number of bankrupt refugees, and even the nobles began to tighten their belts. This kind of blatant attempt to enrich the country of Feize is no different from robbery, and it is the reason why the people of Feize are completely offended.

"To be honest, I don't know which side Nan'an Fu should be on? I believe this news will spread throughout the south soon. If Nan Anfu doesn't show any sign by then, then we may become enemies of both sides!" Lun Princess Sha's pretty face looked a little gloomy, "I have always been concerned about Nan'an Fu's national affairs. It’s hard for an outsider to say anything, but I don’t know what benefits Feize’s victory will bring to Nan Anfu if Nan Anfu sides with Feize.” Si Duhan calmly put the report in his hand on the table with a slight smile. After spending many days together, how could the princess of this small country hide her thoughts from his eyes?

"It won't do any good." A look of surprise appeared on Princess Lunsa's face.

"That's enough!" Si Duhan tapped his finger on the report on the table and said with a smile, "The Nan'anfu area is also a part of the south. The Feize people are obviously targeting the entire south this time, so after defeating the south, They also do not let go of the Nan An Fu Kingdom, which is also in the south. Anyone who is not a fool knows that in this war, Nan An Fu actually has only one way to go, and that is to join the Southern Army." "But if the Southern Army..." Lunsa Princess desire She hesitated, she really wanted to say that if the Southern Army would not take Nan'an Fu seriously, the Nan'an Fu now was not the Nan'an Fu before the war. At that time, Nan'an Fu still had some wealth. Although the South was still not She will take Nan An Fu seriously, but at least she won't ignore it completely like now. It's really because Nan An Fu's strength doesn't even have a chance to be used as a bargaining chip." The princess is overly worried. From her own perspective, now it's Nan An Fu who wants to rob someone. Good value when"

Si Duhan shook his head, looked at the black curtain-like night outside the window and said, "Nan'anfu is the gateway to the south of Feize, and it is also the first battlefield to face Feize's army. Which side Nan'anfu stands on will directly decide who will defend it." Whoever attacks! Who will take the initiative in the entire war? If my guess is correct, there is no need for Nan Anfu to express his position in a hurry, because someone from the south will come soon! What should I do if I don't want to leave in Nan'an?" Princess Lunsha hesitated and gritted her teeth and asked, "Don't worry, if the Southern Army wins, they will only be busy snatching the vast Feize Plateau. How can the Feize people look at the Nan'anfu area, which is full of mountains, not to mention that Nan'anfu has just been devastated by war, and the south has nothing to gain." Si Duhan's eyes flashed with light. He is not a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. In fact, in the early days of following the rise of the Falcon Empire, the situation changes he experienced were more complicated than the current situation, so he has a better understanding of what the southern forces are really pursuing. The military strength has been mobilized, and there are half a million troops, but they are crucified one by one. This is the weakest time in the Feize Kingdom in a hundred years, just like a strong man. The limbs have been firmly fixed to death. Even a thin child holding a sword can be stabbed to death with one sword.

The South is undoubtedly the kid with the sword. Facing the South's eager gaze, Feize just assumed a preemptive attitude in advance, like a ferocious beast forced into an alley. All he can do now is to show his sharp teeth, otherwise will be torn apart by other forces. Could this be the truth behind the Fezer people's use of force against the South...

Princess Lunsha's pretty face was silent. Nan'anfu was too weak. The country's population was only 50,000, and there was not even a small or medium-sized city with a population. Whether in the eyes of the Southern Army or the people of Feize, the Nan'anfu area is an existence that cannot be put on the stage, so that its own way of thinking about problems is so narrow that even an outsider like Si Duhan can understand it. reason. I can’t understand it myself, it’s really embarrassing and embarrassing to my family.

Si Duhan looked at Princess Lunsha with a resolute expression and secretly biting her lip with complicated eyes, and said slowly, "In order to support this war, Feize has currently deployed more than 400,000 troops. War has always been extremely exhausting. Chi The undecided war is like a valve that cannot be closed. Feize's national strength, which has been weakened by the imperial commercial embargo, is finally on the verge of collapse. Originally, I thought Feize's team would choose December to attack the south. In the future, because Feize’s domestic military strength has Air conditioning, if new troops are recruited and the training time is included, it will take two or three months. However, this time, the Fezer people have given up on recruiting new troops, and instead directly dispatched the last troops in the country. The reserve force, the imperial guards stationed in the capital of Feize all year round, were eagerly dispatched. It is enough to show that the situation in Feize has deteriorated to a certain extent. Under such circumstances, how could the South not be moved? "" In fact, except for the South In addition, other kingdoms in the south will also take action."

Si Duhan's voice paused. He had been in the south for more than half a month, and he roughly understood Fezer's situation in the south. Fezer was the overlord on the west coast, but that did not mean he was the overlord of the south. To the south of Fezer, It is also facing various pressures, such as the Kingdom of Myas, a country in the mountains with sixty Ten thousand people, eighteen small and medium-sized cities, the royal capital is a famous forging capital in the south. One hundred and fifty years ago, it was defeated by the Feize people who rose at the same time for hegemony on the west coast, and chose to move the whole family to the south. On the Myas Plateau, how could this country that was originally driven away miss such an opportunity?

There are also people from the Aarons Plateau who are entrenched in the southern plateau. Fifty years ago, the Fezer people invaded the Aarons Plateau and massacred more than 300,000 Aarons people. If we count the time, those plateau people who were massacred back then The descendants of Su Su Forest Kingdom are the group of people who hold the power of the tribe and have always been opposed to Feize. It is also one of the most powerful regional forces in the south. Although its population is only 700,000, but with a standing force of 110,000, it can be said that it is a tribal force with all the people. The Silosu Forest Shooter is synonymous with sharpshooters in the south. He is active in the largest forest area across the entire southern Europe in Barrow. He is known as the Silusu Forest Shooter. The mysterious tribe that is eternally protected by the forest is also a very unique force in the south. Under normal circumstances, no force wants to provoke this forest kingdom.

Although the Feize people were strong, there was not much they could do to deal with this Su Forest Kingdom that stretched thousands of miles. The reason why the Forest Kingdom surrendered in the first place was that they even planned to ambush the King of the Forest Kingdom in the hinterland of the forest in the cold winter. After success, The feud between the Forest Kingdom and the Forest Kingdom was completely over. Hundreds of years passed, and the Siliusu Forest Kingdom was like a solid barrier. The Feize people who wanted to continue to expand to the south looked at the forest and sighed. No one could compete with the Siliusu Forest Kingdom in the forest. People fight, this is already the South According to the consensus of the Ministry, as long as there is woodland, the Su Su people can always make themselves difficult to capture." In this way, this is not a crisis, but an excellent opportunity for Nan'an Fu. Fortunately, Mr. Si Duhan is here. Otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this at all "After getting a completely different idea from Si Duhan's mouth, most of the sadness on Princess Lunsha's face dissipated. She stuck out her tongue playfully, revealing a touch of girlish cuteness." If you come from the south, don't be in a hurry. Take a stand and remember this!”

Si Duhan put down the report in his hand, took a deep breath of air-conditioning, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Naturally, he did not venture into the south for a vacation. In fact, he came just for this incident. Feize's domestic economy was due to the The commercial blockade was close to bankruptcy, and Fezer's domestic supplies were gradually depleted. At the end of the day, the only choice Fezer can make is to plunder outwards. Due to the rise of the Central Alliance, Fezer's hope of expanding eastward has been temporarily curbed. Since he cannot go west, the only direction Fezer can still use force is To the south, the Feize people really did this, and this thunderstorm is coming soon! "I understand. I'll go there in person right now, otherwise I'm afraid they will get into trouble."

Princess Lunsha said goodbye to Si Duhan. Now the top management was in chaos. Even the prime minister of the kingdom came in person. It is conceivable that no one thought as thoroughly as Si Duhan. His gentle eyes swept across Si Duhan's resolute face. On the face of a middle-aged aristocratic face, Lunsha's pretty and fair cheeks unexpectedly turned red.
