Since Yerinburg was occupied by the Danes, it was impossible to settle the matter satisfactorily, and if the benefits of the Danes were promised, although they took Yelinburg back, they lost the reason to do something against the Danes in the future. Many times, even the most scoundrel thing needs to be justified. Dongfang Jin had a salty and indifferent expression, Grana said a lot of words, but he didn't listen to them, and gradually Grana was also made out of temper, he could understand that the Dongfangs had no intention of reconciliation at all, they were going to make a big fuss about Yellinburg. Hot face sticking to other people's cold butts, it's enough to do it once, at noon the next day, it should be the second negotiation time, Grana found a reason to have diarrhea and didn't come, Dongfang Jin leisurely hugged a pot of pig's trotters, I heard that Grana had eaten a bad stomach, he just pouted and smiled, and didn't pay attention to it, "This Danish guy is still a little brainy, since he has a bad stomach, we can't wait for the messenger slowly, right?" Xiao Qi, you will lead someone to take a trip in a while, and send some medicine to Grana in the name of His Highness, remember, you must personally serve the Grana envoy to eat. ”

Due to the cold weather, Dongfang Jin shrunk his neck in his clothes, like a big bear, and winked at Xiao Qi slyly as he spoke, with an indescribably obscene expression. Xiao Qi has been serving by Dongfang Jin's side since he was twelve years old, and now it has been six years, it can be said that Dongfang Jin is thinking in his heart, he can feel it clearly, "Sir, you can do it, the little one will add more ingredients to him, and he will never forget it after eating it for the rest of his life." ”

"Mmmmmm, stinky boy, what do you say, I asked you to send medicine, don't add things randomly" Of course, Dongfang Jin would not admit that it was his own bad idea, waved his hand, and drove Xiao Qi away with a look of disgust. Xiao Qi didn't think so, ran to the military depot in a hurry, and led Lang Zhong to toss for a long time before rushing to the post house in the city. The post house was newly built, specially designed to entertain distant envoys, because the post house was newly built, so at this time there was only one foreign envoy in the whole post house. The post commander was a retired veteran who was assigned to the post house because he had a leg on his leg during the Battle of the Suzdal River and could no longer ride a horse. There were a series of question marks on the post commander's head, this is really an evil door, why did the little attendant of the Eastern Military Division come over? Xiao Qi stretched his neck to look into the corridor, and after making sure that there was no one else, he quietly pulled the post chief aside, "Brother Hu, why did you hear that there is a problem with the food here, you have diarrhea from the Danyan." ”

Yunhu suddenly exploded, slapped Xiao Qi's neck, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about this little doll, are you suspecting that Lao Tzu will cut corners?" Danish diarrhea, what does it have to do with Lao Tzu? ”

Xiao Qi has an indescribable depression, this tiger brother is really too sincere, why can't he hear the meaning of the words? He was afraid of being punched by Yunhu's Wang Ba, so he could only arch his hands and smile bitterly, "Brother Tiger, that is not what the younger brother meant, Mr. Dongfang said it himself, the envoy of Grana has been in trouble recently, let me bring Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat it." Well, Mr. Dongfang said that guy had diarrhea, then he must have diarrhea, otherwise, wouldn't Lang Zhong run for nothing? ”

Xiao Qi was almost saying it clearly, if Yunhu still didn't understand, then he would really become a big fool, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly let go of his hand, "You kid is talking around the bush, who can understand?" Come with me, you must grasp the degree, but don't let the Danish die in the inn, then none of us will have good fruit to eat. ”

Xiao Qi snapped his fingers and hurriedly made a guarantee, so Xiao Qi, Yun Hu and two military doctors were busy in the kitchen, Yun Hu's cooking skills were not blown, and a quarter of an hour later, a pot of fragrant stew came out of the pot. In room B on the second floor of the post house, Grana was still sulking, and the hateful Oriental man always hung people in the air, talking but not talking, but he didn't know how to refuse, which was really embarrassing. Grana has been trying to find a way, even if the talks collapse in the end, then the Oriental people have to open their mouths to refuse, so that he Grana will not be responsible, if he goes back now, I am afraid that he will inevitably fall into a crime of dissatisfaction. Since ancient times, negotiation has been a tug-of-war, and it is all about patience and wisdom. Bang, there was a familiar knock on the door, and Granna opened the door to see the chief standing outside with a smile on his face, a faint fragrance wafting into his nose, and Granner's stomach growled a little uncontrollably.

Hey, I didn't eat in the morning, and now I'm hungry, and I can't help but have an appetite when I encounter such delicious food. Yunhu arched his hand, looking kind, "Lord Messenger, I got some game in the kitchen today, you can also try it." ”

"Then thank you to the post chief" Grana thought so much, he was already attracted by the food in front of him, thanked him, brought the stew into the house, and waited for Yunhu to leave, Grana couldn't wait to feast. Grana put all his attention on the food, and didn't notice a few people lying on his stomach at the window, Yunhu pouted, and said helplessly, "This Danish guy is too careless, isn't it?" It's a pity that such a stewed rabbit is gone. ”

Half an hour later, Grana ushered in his most tragic day, his stomach kept growling, he squatted in the hut and never came out, or Xiao Qi and others dragged Grana out, and the military doctor helped prescribe medicine. After a short period of improvement, Grana finally fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, his stomach began to rumble again, and the feeling of falling almost dragged his intestines out. By this time, Grana was thinking with his ass, and he knew that he was being fucked. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, this was just the beginning, and he didn't know what way to rectify the person, and he really couldn't die well. Grana was afraid of dying in the city of Kyiv, so he sneaked out of the city at night.

Grana left the city of Kiev, although it was mysterious, but it still fell into the eyes of Dongfang Jin. Dongfang Jin scratched his head in surprise, he didn't expect this Grana to be so unbearable, and he couldn't bear it in just one day. With Grana's departure, all problems will be solved, but it is not that the Great Song Dynasty does not talk about it, but the envoy does not give face, and it is impossible to say that the notoriety of occupying Yellinburg is going to be pasted on the face of the Danes. Of course, the matter of Grana is just a trivial matter, Dongfang Jin is most urgent to solve the Germanic people in the west, recently the Germans have begun to increase their troops, from the current news, the old Saxon fox has mobilized 40,000 troops from the Holy Empire, in order to support the Istrian War, the Holy Roman Empire can be said to have done its best. For hundreds of years, the Germanic people had a desperate possessiveness for the Istrian highlands, and the Kiev plain was a rich gem for any country.

The Germans had invaded the Istrian heights, and the pressure on Vilnius City would naturally increase. Early the next morning, Dongfang Jin hastily ate something, and hurried to the Teginets manor. Early in the morning, it was cold in the manor, and the servants and guards walked through the stone path, and near the castle stood a group of soldiers of the Sharp Battalion. Dongfang Jin was surprised, could something have happened? Otherwise, early in the morning, why are the soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion so tightly guarded? This is the Teginets Manor, if something really happens, it must be a fatal matter, seeing Dongfang Jin coming over, the soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion hurriedly bowed their hands, "I'll see Mr. Dongfang later." ”

"What's going on in the castle?" Dongfang Jin looked anxious, the head of the castle shook his head, and said a little inexplicably, "It's okay, His Royal Highness will summon the noble captives of the Red-Capped Knights in the castle in a while, the princess is afraid that something will happen, let's arrange the defense first." No, the brothers are busy arranging the secret whistle, if Mr. Dongfang has any urgent matter, please go in first, Your Highness They are having breakfast inside. ”

Dongfang Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that nothing happened. Dongfang Jin shook his head with a wry smile, he actually forgot about those captives of the Red Top Knights, judging from the situation in Pske City, it was time to talk to these Lorraine nobles. When they entered the restaurant, Zhao Yougong and the others were already half-full. A few plates of steamed buns on the dining table, some simple side dishes, hot rice porridge, Claire is obviously not used to this kind of oriental breakfast, and pouts while eating, but unfortunately in the face of the domineering Zhao Yougong, she does not have the courage to waste food. Wiping the stains on his mouth, Zhao Yougong motioned for Dongfang Jin to sit down and talk, "That Grana's matter is settled, right?" ”

"That guy has already run away" Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong are both monarchs and good friends, so they spoke a lot more casually, and they took the time to talk about driving away Grana. A simple thing, said in Dongfang Jin's mouth, witty and interesting, Claire's Chinese level has risen sharply recently, and she actually listened to it. Holding a bun in his hand, he muttered, "Mr. Dongfang is really too bad, such a whole family, poor Danish heretic, too pitiful." ”

“..... His Royal Highness Claire, this is not bad, but he has a conscience, do you have to kill him with a knife? Dongfang Jin didn't think so, he just listened to Claire's evaluation, Zhao Yougong pursed his lips, and he didn't think that Dongfang Jin did anything wrong, although he was a little lacking in morality, but at least Grana didn't have an arm or a broken leg, which was already a very rare courtesy. Sanniang knew that Zhao Yougong and Dongfang Jin had something to talk about, so she patted Claire's shoulder and led her to the second floor, Claire was not there, Dongfang Jin didn't have too many scruples, seeing Xiao Zhiyun put down the dishes and chopsticks, he briefly said what happened in Psk, "Your Highness, Princess, now that the Germans have increased their troops in Pske City, and they have not divided their troops to Mesuda City, it is estimated that they will make a move on Vilnius City in a short time." The Germans had learned enough of the last attack on Kyiv, and it is unlikely that they will attack Kyiv again. The subordinates felt that the first military camp should be transferred close to Vilnius City as soon as possible, and Yang Shaolie did not need to form enough pressure on the city of Meisuda, so that the city of Psk could not transfer troops from the city of Meisuda, and Yerusha's department had the help of the first military camp, and it should not be a problem to hold Vilnius City. ”

"Well, it is not a problem to transfer the first military camp to Vilnius City" Zhao Yougong nodded and agreed, judging from the current situation, only the first military camp is the most reliable to be close to Vilnius City. Xiao Zhiyun didn't answer, but frowned, Zhao Yougong grabbed Xiao Zhiyun's hand and asked softly, "Sui, do you have other ideas, since it's a discussion, but it's okay to say it." ”

"Official, your and Mr. Dong Fang's idea is naturally not wrong, and it is also the safest way, but it seems that we have forgotten the original intention, what was the purpose of our abandonment of Psk City and Meisuda City in the first place? Isn't it just to annihilate the living forces of the Germanic peoples and accumulate strength for a full-scale counterattack in the future? Listening to Xiao Zhiyun's words, Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong both showed thoughtful expressions, and then nodded, Xiao Zhiyun continued, "The Germanic army's increase in Psk City actually doesn't have much impact on us, I think we should still implement the previous ideas, and not change our strategy because of the Germanic army." Vilnius City is very well defended, why don't we give the Germans a chance to take Vilnius, and use Vilnius to consume the Germanic forces to the greatest extent. At the same time, Yang Zaixing's subordinate and the second military battalion directly approached Psk City and made a posture of attacking Psk City. At the same time, the 1st barracks was slowly approaching the city of Vilnius. As long as the 1st Army Camp did not enter Vilnius, the Germans would have decided that there was an opportunity to storm Vilnius. The first and second military camps all left the city of Kyiv, and the forces left near the city of Kyiv were left with only the original garrison of Kyiv. We can send people to keep an eye on the city of Mesoda, as long as the garrison of the city of Mesouda is divided into the city of Kiev, we will order the first military camp to retreat and go south to the rear of the garrison of the city of Mesoda, and Jerusha's troops and horses can also withdraw from Vilnius. Under this transfer, although Vilnius will be abandoned, it can kill and damage the Germanic forces to the greatest extent, and even if Vilnius City is occupied, the Germanic forces will become more dispersed. Roughly estimated, under some attrition, the number of soldiers and horses that can be garrisoned in no place is estimated to be a little more than 20,000, and this strength, if you want to pose a threat to the city of Kyiv, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, unless they come out of the nest. On the contrary, we can gather heavy forces on the periphery of Kiev, and it will not only be difficult for the Germans to attack us, but we will always have to guard against a sneak attack on one of them. The Germans occupied three cities in a row, and there was no defense in the west of Kyiv, so Lothair would definitely not stop there, and the only thing that could be done in order to go further and capture Kyiv was to further increase the troops in the Istrian heights. As far as we know, the 140,000-strong army is almost the limit of the Holy Roman Empire, the eastern nobles and the Danube nobles may not continue to send troops, and the Franks are even more disobedient to Lothair, so the only thing Lothair can do is to transfer all the combat power of Saxony. ”

Xiao Zhi's words contained an extremely complex military plan, step by step, interlocking. If it really follows what Xiao Zhiyun said, then all the soldiers of the entire Duchy of Saxony will be transferred to the Istrian heights. If you can find an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Germanic army in the Istrian Plateau, it will be equivalent to directly abolishing the war potential of the entire Duchy of Saxony, and if you want to take the Duchy of Saxony in the future, it is still within reach. Perhaps Xiao Zhiyun's plan is full of dangers, and if one of the links goes wrong and is used by the Germans, then it will not be Vilnius, but the entire city of Kiev. But the risk also represents the benefit, and compared with the risk, the benefit can be too great, and this risk is definitely worth taking. Dongfang Jin thought about it carefully and nodded heavily, "Your Highness, my subordinates think that the princess's method can be tried, as long as Yang Shaolie's subordinates are realistic enough, and Yerusha's soldiers and horses can be withdrawn in time, then we can minimize the risk." It's a risk worth taking compared to the possible benefits, and if done right, it can clear the way for a future takedown of Saxony. ”

The Duchy of Saxony is located in the northeast of Holy Rome, bordering the Kingdom of Denmark to the north, and two hundred miles northeast from the Duchy of Saxony is the Baltic Sea Basin. At the same time, the occupation of the Duchy of Saxony would allow the Germans to enter the Istrian Highlands, and even if the Germans could make a detour to attack the Istrian Highlands, they would be able to drive straight from the Duchy of Saxony and sweep through the kingdoms controlled by the eastern aristocracy. Owning the Duchy of Saxony is equivalent to hanging a sword around the neck of the Germanic people, and the Germanic people will have to think more about what they want to do in the future. At the same time, in the face of the pressure brought by the Great Song Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, the only choice for the Germans was to clamp their tails and be humans.

Even Dongfang Jin agreed, Zhao Yougong had no reason to object, as soon as he arrived, Luo Weidenov came to the council hall, when he heard the whole huge and complex plan, in addition to shock or shock, he was amazed that such a grand strategic plan came from the hands of a woman, using Vilnius, secretly pointing at the Duchy of Saxony, such a long-term plan, I don't know how many men are ashamed, "Your Highness, this plan can be described as a lot of benefits, and the minister thinks it can be implemented." Lothair is a good man, the only drawback is that he will no longer spit out what he eats in his mouth, give him three cities, and have the hope of swallowing the Kiev Plain, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he will continue this war. ”

Lovednov had worked with Lothair for a while, and knew Lothair well, the old duchess of Saxony was too ambitious to afford to put down, and these three cities would definitely become the burial ground of the Duchy of Saxony. Several important ministers under his command agreed, and Zhao Yougong did not hesitate any longer, and began to formulate a detailed plan for the march, until noon, after repeated deliberations and discussions, the entire Vilnius military plan became complete and clear. Everyone was immersed in military discussions, and they didn't know that after two hours, it was time for lunch, Sanniang changed into a goose yellow expensive dress, and Shi Shiran stood next to Zhao Yougong, "Official, noon has arrived, and Royce and those people have been waiting outside for a long time." ”

"Oh? The knife forgot about this" Zhao Yougong smiled, got up and stretched his arm, "Since it's time for dinner, let's have a light meal together, and it's good to meet the red-capped knight outside." ”

Everyone happily agreed, and in the corridor outside the castle hall, there was a layer of red soup, and at this time, more than a dozen Germanic youths in noble costumes were anxiously waiting, these people were the red-capped knights led by Royce. They had been at the Teginets estate for an hour, and as noon was approaching, His Highness had not yet ordered a summons. For this meeting, more than a dozen red-capped knights have been preparing for a long time, all of them have come to Lorraine's noble families, they have prominent status, they are looking forward to meeting the regent, and they can make some plans for the future of the kingdom of Lorraine. But after an hour, before receiving the summons, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried, Royce also began to worry, he didn't summon for an hour, it was obviously deliberate, the regent was so sluggish, did he change his mind? Royce can't be afraid, because the attitude of the regent is related to the life and death of hundreds of red-capped knights, these people are all from the nobles of Lorraine, and they chose to surrender after listening to his Royce's words. A young Germanic man tugged at Royce's sleeve and said with a disturbed expression, "Royce, is there something wrong, or let's go back." ”

"No, everyone listen to me, calm down, it shouldn't be so serious, if the Orientals want to attack our red-capped knights, the defenses in the corridor will not be so lax, especially at the gate of the castle, there are only four guards, which means that the Orientals have no intention of restricting us from leaving" Royce said a few words of relief, and then walked towards the soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion guarding the inner gate, "This brother, can you please go in again and pass the word again, just say that Royce and the red-capped knights ask to see." ”

"Brother, you better wait, the regent is discussing important matters with the princess and others" This time, the guards guarding the door did not go in again to pass the news, they had already gone in four times, it was obvious that His Highness had something important to do, and His Highness did not bother to tease these Germanic noble captives. Royce chuckled in his heart, what the hell is going on, is something really happening? At this moment, with a creak, the inner door slowly opened, and Yang Zaixing, who was also the head of the palace guard, strode out, "Your Highness is already waiting in the living room, you can come with me." ”

Hearing Yang Zaixing's words, Royce frowned, the big stone in his heart finally fell, no matter what, he could finally see the regent of the East. Although Royce was a Lorraine nobleman and a rising star of the vineyard family, he had never participated in the Eastern Crusade and had never met Zhao Yougong. The name of the Emperor of the East is just often heard by people, and it is a blessing to meet him today. Following Yang Zaixing, the group walked cautiously in the corridor, walked through the red low sugar, at the end of the corridor is the huge living room, at this time there are a dazzling array of delicacies on the long table in the living room, more than a dozen people are talking and laughing around the table, there is a handsome oriental man sitting on the main seat in the north, and there are two women with their own merits sitting next to them, one is smiling like a flower, the jade face is hibiscus, and the other is as cold as frost. Seeing these people, Royce's whole heart trembled violently, which of these people was not a person who stomped his feet and trembled. Yang Zaixing doesn't need to say more, the man with a long beard and heavy eyebrows once killed the Germanic warriors in the Kaqiwell River, and that cold and glamorous woman is even more familiar, isn't that the woman of the regent, the princess of the Great Song Empire?

I didn't expect that there would be so many big people in the living room, if a fire was set at this time and the entire castle was burned, then the entire Eastern Empire would not have to fall from heaven to hell? Royce and the Rowling nobles behind him hurriedly put one hand across their chests and bowed, and bowed heavily, "Royce and the nobles of Lorraine meet the regent, and thank the regent for not killing." ”

"You're Royce, well, it's really dignified" Zhao Yougong looked up and down, and said with a somewhat bland smile, "Since it's a coincidence, let's sit down and eat some together." ”
