After the banquet, Louis XII planned to organize a counterattack immediately. However, the newly promoted Viscount Lafite John Lafite stopped him:

"Your Majesty, at this time, we cannot make any moves, especially we cannot fight back!" These are the strategies that Marin secretly explained.

"Why?" Louis XII was a little puzzled. The mortal enemy left, shouldn't he take the opportunity to counterattack?

John Raffie recalled the content of Marin's letter and replied:

"If we are in a hurry to fight back now, it would be fine if we can defeat the Spanish army in one go. If we cannot defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, it is very likely that the Spanish will repent and transfer that guy Gonzalo back!"

Louis XII thought, this is true. If Gonzalo de Cordoba left, the French began to organize counterattacks and even achieved certain results, wouldn’t it be indirectly proved that Gonzalo was wrong to be transferred? Once that guy was transferred back, all the efforts of the French were wasted. So, I really have to wait a moment to avoid the Spanish from remorse.

"Also, the Spanish sent several great nobles to take over military power, but they just arrived, they would definitely not overturn the military deployment plan left by Gonzalo in an instant. At this time, we fought back, but it was just the same. Besides, the few people were just a new arrival and were not able to get the military power."

"So, we have to wait for these wastes to get military power. Moreover, after they take power, there is another benefit..."

"What are the benefits?" asked several other French favorites with interest.

"In order to prevent the military power from being controlled by the powerful ministers, Ferdinand II specially sent five Spanish nobles to take power together. Although this would avoid the dominance of the whole family, it is easy to have a serious problem - internal struggle! As long as we do not need to take action, the five people will also fight internally to fight for control of the army. Once their struggle intensifies, there will be a certain amount of chaos within the Spanish army. At that time, it will be the best opportunity for us to attack!" John Rafi pretended to be calm and memorized this long "line". At the end, he also acted like a paradise...

Louis XII and a group of French favorites were shocked. Even Charles, the former Duke of Geders, who was truly extraordinary, looked at John Lafite with admiration and agreed with his judgment.

"Awesome, my Viscount John. Then, for the next period of time, we will hold our troops and wait for them to have civil strife?" Louis XII said happily.

John Raffie shook his head in a pretentious manner and said:

"No, we can't wait. It's better to pretend to be frustrated and pretend to be unable to defeat the Spanish army. This tactic is called intentional weakness, and the purpose is to strengthen Ferdinand II's determination to transfer Gonzalo. At present, I guess Ferdinand II is also in a conflict, afraid that those people are not our opponents. If there is such a situation, Ferdinand II may repent and transfer Gonzalo back. Therefore, my opinion is that this period of deliberate weakness made Ferdinand II mistakenly think that these fools are very capable. In this way, he can also strengthen his determination to transfer Gonzalo and prevent him from repenting!"

"Once we show weakness, the five fools may mistakenly think that the French army is just like this. Then, they will feel at ease to fight inwardly. If we act too strong, these people may unite and fight us together! Only when they mistakenly think that they are sure to win will they feel at ease to fight inwardly!"

After saying that, after a long time of disarray, Louis XII took the lead in applauding:

"That's great! I think you should have no objection to me promoting him to a viscount, right?"

The French nobles present applauded and shook their heads. Just kidding, their brains would never think of this. Moreover, the king had the final say in France, and even if they opposed it, it would be ineffective. It would be better to sell face.

Next, the French army in Naples calmed down a lot. Even the Spanish soldiers shouted outside the city, but they didn't scold them anymore. Moreover, they deliberately put the city on the top of the city full of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and asked them to pretend to sigh.

Sure enough, the Spanish soldiers under the city were very surprised to see that the French people at the top of the city did not scold them. Moreover, they also saw the old, weak, sick and disabled French soldiers sighing on the city wall. Then, the tired Spanish soldiers returned to the camp and reported this abnormal situation.

Francis, the adjutant left by Gonzalo de Cordoba, instinctively felt something was wrong, but could not tell what was wrong. Several new commanders discussed there:

"Is it a conspiracy?"

"No, right? That's the King of France! The King doesn't want to be face?"

"Well, that's right. It seems something happened in the city..."

Then, several guys imagined the scenes of internal strife and food cuts in the city, and even suspected that Louis XII had passed away...

Soon, several Spanish bosses had their own imagination spread in the Spanish army camp. The news reached one of the camps, and the Spanish dressed in an officer flashed his eyes...

That night, a secret letter was passed to Beihai Kingdom through a carrier pigeon. After receiving the secret letter, Malin grew up in surprise - Why don’t these guys write novels?

However, the next day, Marin passed the content of the secret message to John Lafite in the middle of the night through another telecommunications and pigeon transmission system, and also gave Rafite other instructions, including two sets of weakening plans.

John Rafi was also shocked when he received the secret letter and was very shocked by the wonderful ideas of several Spanish nobles. As for the plan to show weakness given by Marin, John Rafi thought about it and ruled out the plan to pretend that King Louis XII was critically ill. He was afraid that this plan would be regarded as an unlucky curse by Louis XII. Therefore, he only chose the second plan...

"Your Majesty, we deliberately reveal fake news to the Spaniards, pretend that the city is short of food!" John Rafi offered his advice.

"Pretending to be short of food? Yes, but how do you reveal it to the French?"

"We can do a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we send out messengers riding horses and deliberately intercepted intelligence by them. On the other hand, we deliberately sacrificed one or two carrier pigeons to let them intercept..."

"Wait... Why did the carrier pigeon deliberately intercept the other party?" Louis XII asked curiously.

"This is simple. We put the pigeons during the day and deliberately let them find out in advance. In addition, we push the pigeons a little more and heavier. In this way, the pigeons will not fly high and will be easily knocked down by the other party. In this way, fake news will be intercepted by them..."

Louis XII thought for a while and said:

"This idea is good, I'm afraid the carrier pigeons will not be intercepted. If you receive fake news in China, there may be chaos..."

John Lafite said confidently:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We will put a batch of pigeons in advance at dawn and tell the country that the news that the pigeons that flew back within two days were fake. Of course, there are signs on the fake letter, and you will understand it when you see it!"

"This is a good idea! Just do it like that. You can send someone to prepare a fake letter!"

"Abide by the order!"
