Dongfang Jin and the others looked at each other, they felt that Zhao Yougong was a little too cautious, the western part of Istria and the direction of Yerinburg were adhering to the principle of taking the initiative to abandon the defense, is this too conservative? Xiao Zhiyun is the most understanding of Zhao Yougong's thoughts, this kind of approach, it seems to show weakness, but it is actually the safest choice, now that the Dingguo Army has just taken Kipros, and the army restructuring has just begun, it is the time to wait for reconstruction, and it should focus on development. A temporary retreat is nothing at all, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, as long as he can train a hundred thousand strong troops, what he lost can also be regained, "Do as His Highness instructs, the current army restructuring is particularly important, if everything goes well, in three months, we will no longer have to worry about the Germans." ”

"Obey His Highness's orders" Xiao Zhiyun also spoke out, and the others couldn't say anything more, so they quickly got up. The rest of the day was discussed with other things, but they were a little smaller than those of the Germans and the Danes. After the discussion, the generals of the various departments hurried back to the barracks, and Gao Zhong dragged his swollen buttocks back to the seventh barracks, and found Zhang Bocheng after a little rest. After a whip, Zhang Bocheng only had half a life left, although the doctor took good care of him, but now he can only lie on the couch, and even going to the thatched house is a problem. Seeing Gao Zhong enter the door, Zhang Bocheng still wanted to salute, but Gao Chong hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, don't be reckless with your appearance." ”

Zhang Bocheng grinned bitterly, his shoulders moved, and he directly pulled the wound, grinning with painful teeth, "General, Your Highness convened the generals this time, did something happen?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid the next few days will not be peaceful, the Danes have already reached the Baltic Sea, and they will soon be able to raid the area around Yellinburg. There are also signs of gathering troops on the Germanic side, the intention is unknown, the first military camp and the second military camp in the south will be transferred to the west of Kyiv City to garrison in the past two days, and Shi Wengong's side will also send troops and horses to the north of the Caucasus" Gao Chong, a rough and heroic man by nature, also felt a huge pressure, with the current strength of the Kiporos garrison, it is really not a wise move to challenge the Germans and the Danes at the same time. However, these things, his high favor can't help much, everything depends on how His Royal Highness decides, to resolve this kind of dispute, relying on wisdom, blindly tough is absolutely not good.

"Hey, these barbarians, that is, they bully us into not having a stable foothold, if there are more than 100,000 elites, we don't have to be afraid of how many of them come" Zhang Bocheng showed a little shame, now is the time to employ people, when the Slavs need to help, he actually made such a show in the seventh military camp, which added a lot of trouble to the army restructuring. Gao Zhong patted Zhang Bocheng on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't think about it, you can't help with the things in the back, don't blame Your Highness for the previous things, if Your Highness doesn't beat you, you won't be able to save your life." If you don't punish you heavily, the officers and men in the army will not be convinced, especially those Slavic children, if you have a complaint against you, it will not be good for you to command the army in the future. ”

"Why do you say that, the general is not the kind of stupid person who doesn't know what to do, he disobeys military regulations and spoils His Highness's plans, and it is God's grace to be able to leave a life, how dare you blame Your Highness. It's just that the general has been affected, and the last general really can't help it, "On the martial arts stage before, the twenty military whips were firmly drawn on Gao Chong's body. Gao Zhong laughed, and did not blame Zhang Bocheng at all, but comforted him loudly, "Everyone is a man in the army, just say something." What is not involved, you make a big mistake, the general really has some responsibility, if you are strictly instructed on weekdays, this kind of thing will not happen, if you really want to talk about it, the twenty army whips are already very light. If His Highness hadn't looked at the past, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have finished without fifty whips. ”

Although Gao Pet is a bit domineering on weekdays, he is not a stupid person, at least he still has self-knowledge. His Royal Highness attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is very nostalgic for the old, and the twenty military whips are already very face-saving. His Royal Highness gave face, and he learned about Entu Bao with high favor, if he still didn't appreciate it, he would be a little ignorant. After sitting in the tent for a while, chatting with Zhang Bocheng for a while, Gao Chong went to the council office to arrange the next restructuring issue, because the military operations in the back have nothing to do with the Seventh Military Battalion, Gao Chong can concentrate all his energy on the military restructuring. Without a task, of course, the generals in the army could not be happy, but when they thought of the chaos that happened in the Seventh Military Camp a few days ago, everyone could only suppress the unhappiness in their hearts.

Northwest of Kipros, in the Baltic Sea Valley, the Knights of the Birds finally made their next move after five days in the city of Kalmar. In a few days, the follow-up kingdom soldiers and horses came to Kalmar City one after another, and Quasimotu also mobilized about 3,000 Kalma guards, so far, Fayuna has nearly 10,000 foot soldiers in his hands. At the beginning of September of the fifth year of Taikang, tens of thousands of Danish soldiers began to move south along the Baltic Sea under the command of Fayunna. The first person to get the news was Lothair, who was recuperating in Suplin Castle, and when he heard the news of Fayunna's army, Lothair finally had a smile on his face, "The Danes have finally moved, it seems that Eric's lamb can't resist the temptation in the end, as long as the Danes move Yelinburg, they will be considered to have made enemies with the Easterners." The smile on Lothair's face became more and more intense, he didn't mind giving the Danes a part of the benefits, the most important thing was to create a strong enemy for the Orientals, the Orientals had just arrived, and their power was not stable, at this time the Orientals had just taken Kipros, and their confidence was inflated, once the Orientals faced the Holy Empire and the Kingdom of Denmark at the same time, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to get benefits. Under the attack of the north and the south, the easterners will definitely not be able to stop the combined attack of the two kingdoms, and when the Danes take the area of Yerinburg, and the Holy Empire will eat the Istrian heights, it can be regarded as taking what they need.

Towards evening, Lothair came to his study and hurriedly wrote a letter, "Send this letter to the Duke of Dolle as soon as possible, and remember that it must be opened by the Duke of Dolle himself." After repeated instructions, the soldiers left Suplin Castle. Now it has entered September, the autumn wind has arrived, and the western land has entered the wet and cold season, which is completely different from the autumn tiger in the Central Plains of the Great Song Dynasty. After several months of fierce fighting, the situation between the Danube nobility and the eastern aristocracy had gradually become clear, the Danube nobility under the leadership of Schwein, had completely controlled the Danube River valley, and Dolle was not far behind, taking advantage of the plague and the weakness of the northern princes, sent troops to take most of the fertile land in the east of Hohenzollern, and took the famous Berlin area into the palm of his hand. Everything was as Dorle thought, when the eastern nobles got their hands on Hohenzollern, the fat Louis did not intervene to stop it at all, but took the opportunity to swallow a lot of land in the Duchy of Lorraine, and the old fox of Saxony was as stable as Mount Tai, and did not care about Hohenzollern at all. Neither Louis nor Lothair reacted, and the occupation of the eastern aristocracy by the eastern Hohenzollern was ironclad.

After several battles, the Danube nobles seemed to be strong and majestic, but in fact, the real benefits were far inferior to those of the eastern nobles, and even the southern blacksmith family took advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie. After taking the Danube Valley, Schwein did not provoke any more wars, and Dolle was happy to see it, they were all children of the Holy Empire, who didn't want peace and prosperity? On this day, Dorle had just returned from the Hohenzollern Plains, and before he had time to discuss the next distribution of benefits, he saw Suggs hurriedly breaking in, "Your Excellency Dorle, His Majesty Lothair has sent an urgent report for you to read it personally." ”

During this time, Dorle had been busy dealing with the Danube nobles, and he really didn't care about anything else, so he didn't know too much about what was happening in Kiplas and the Danish side. However, he knew Lothair's temperament, and if the old fox had not encountered a major event, he would never have sent any urgent news, and after washing his face, Dolle followed Suggs to the study, and the two dusty Saxon knights in the room hurriedly saluted and respectfully handed over the letter in their hands. Dolle did not hesitate, jumped out of the wax, read carefully, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, he did not expect that in just a few months, Kipros had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Orientals not only ate the Istrian heights, but also forced Wofre to become vassal. The content of the letter is not complicated, Lothair hopes that Dorle will send troops at the same time as the Saxons, and he also hopes that Dorle will use his previous prestige to persuade the Caucasians to change their court.

Dolle fell into deep thought for a while, the matter was so big that even Dolle didn't dare to make a random decision. It is completely unknown how much impact the Danish raid on the Yellinburg area will have. After thinking about it carefully, Dolle still decided to send troops to help Lothair, in any case, the capture of the Istrian heights would only be good for the Germans, and even if there was only one percent of hope, ten percent of the effort would have to be made. If this is an opportunity, if you miss it, you won't be able to regret it. But which soldiers and horses to send there is a bit of a headache, and in terms of combat effectiveness, of course, it is the newly formed Knights of the Holy Cross. But when he thought of the fate of the Knights of the Holy Cross before, Dolle was a little afraid, in case the newly formed Knights were buried in the hands of the Orientals again, it would really be like crying without tears. The elite knights of tens of thousands of people have spent countless dollars, even if the eastern nobles have a strong background, they have gritted their teeth to support this new Holy Cross Knights.

Sugus stood aside, waited for a long time and didn't see Dorle speak, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Your Excellency Dolle, what's wrong with you?" What did His Majesty Lothair ask us to do? Dolle didn't reply, and threw the urgent report in his hand directly into Suggs's hands. Suggs only glanced at it twice, and his hands trembled, and his face was slightly red, and he didn't know whether he was excited or frightened.

"This.... The Danes actually sent troops to the area of Yerinburg, Your Excellency Dolle, we can't sit idly by, presumably the Danes' actions are inseparable from Lothair. The Istrian Heights are of great significance, whoever can meddle in the affairs of the Istrian Highlands will have an innate advantage, no matter what, we have to go to the army, even if we don't move, those Danubes will not let go of this opportunity" Suggs's tone was a little hurried, as long as he was a person who had commanded the army for many years, it was impossible not to see the importance of the Istrian Highlands. Whoever owns the Istrian heights will be able to control thousands of miles of fertile land, and at the same time occupy a geographical advantage, and the cavalry will attack everywhere. Dolle nodded with a wry smile, stroked his forehead with one hand, and said lightly, "Naturally, we are going to send troops, and Lothair has finally created an opportunity, so we all have to respond." But have you forgotten? The Orientals are not easy to deal with, and our Knights are destroyed in the hands of the Orientals, so we must carefully consider which soldiers and horses to send. ”

"Well, Lord Dorle is right, we might as well draw 20,000 soldiers from Hohenzollern and the Southern Territories, and half of the cavalry will be enough. Presumably, the Danubes will also send troops, and Lothair's side will also send heavy troops, so that the total strength will add up to a lot of hunger, if such a large number of troops can't take the Istrian Heights, then there is no point in sending more people" Suggs's suggestion is also considered an old move, Dorle just thought about it a little, and then nodded lightly, but when he thought of the most elite knights, he was a little reluctant, "Let Pertenn lead the troops this time, in short, act at the opportunity, our knights can't stand the toss." A little strength is too bad, and the Danubes are afraid that they will have to make trouble again. ”

On the 10th of September, the Holy Roman Empire gathered nearly 80,000 troops out of the Duchy of Saxony and eastward into the edge of the Istrian Heights. At the same time, the emissaries sent by Dorle also hurried to the Caucasus. The lives of the people of Kipros Yelinburg, where the life of the people have improved greatly since the destruction of the skinning house, is in mid-September, the harvest season, and the farms are busy. Due to the war, coupled with the great plague, many living Slavs fled to the east of the Duchy of Yanmar and the territory of the Duchy of Turov, and there were not many young people left in the northwest, most of them also enlisted as soldiers, so the busy work in the fields were all some women, children and old people, and the local garrison was afraid of food problems, so they divided the soldiers and horses into countless to help collect food. The Yellinburg garrison was very cautious, but something went wrong.

There is a small port on the east coast of the Baltic Sea, called Klaipeda City, this small city was just a small wharf in the early years, which was used by the skinners to trade with the Baltic fleet. On this day, the people of the small town were so busy with food that they did not bother to pay attention to the situation on the coast. Towards the end of the day, a fleet of ships quietly docked near Klaipeda. This fleet belongs to the Quasimotu family of Kalmar City, the Quasimotu family has been operating in Kalmar City for decades, and finally has some capital, long-term trade exchanges and overseas plunder, the Quasimotu family has its own fleet, although this fleet can not compete with the powerful Baltic fleet of the Swedes, but it is not a problem to transport soldiers and horses. Favanna had a well-planned route from Kalmar to the south, from the island of Öland and east to Klaipeda, the shortest route across the Baltic Sea. After three days of sailing, the fleet arrived in the small town of Klaipeda. Looking at the small city in the distance, Fayuna felt a sense of pride in his heart, and finally had the opportunity to see the demeanor of the Orientals.
