Feeling the coldness in Zhao Yougong's eyes, Zhang Bocheng was finally afraid, he broke free from the two Ruifeng Battalion soldiers, knelt on the ground again, his shoulders trembled constantly, "Your Highness, the last general knows that he is wrong, beg His Highness to be merciful, spare the last general, and the last general will never dare again." ”

"Now that I know it's wrong, what did I do before?" Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, didn't look at Zhang Bocheng again, and walked directly towards the center of the camp, "Tie up Zhang Bocheng, this king wants to see who dares to take the military regulations seriously." ”

The soldiers of the Ruifeng battalion didn't care what Zhang Bocheng's identity was, Zhao Yougong gave an order, and several soldiers rushed up and directly pressed Zhang Bocheng to the ground and tied him up firmly. A quarter of an hour later, the sun was shining on the campus of the Seventh Military Barracks, the vast school field was crowded with people, and there were more than a dozen military bigwigs standing on the martial arts platform. At this time, not only Xiao Zhiyun and others came to the Seventh Military Camp, but even Gao Chong, Yelusha, Shi Wengong and others also came to the Yanwu platform, the center of the platform, and Zhang Bocheng was tied up strongly. Xiao Zhiyun also had a stinky face, exuding a devouring cold air on her body, and she had a heart to protect Gao Zhong and Zhang Bocheng before, but after seeing the tragic situation of the Seventh Military Camp with her own eyes, that little bit of thought was gone, and all that was left was anger. The reason why Zhang Bocheng has such a big courage is not because of his high favor. I used to know that Gao Pet had a reckless personality, pampered and arrogant, but I didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, after the military restructuring, he couldn't ignore the military orders that were repeatedly reclaimed, and he was not even willing to do superficial work, if he didn't teach him a lesson this time, he really thought that the Dingguo Army couldn't be transferred without him. Shi Wengong and Gao Zhong got close to each other, looking at Zhao Yougong who was standing in front, Shi Wengong said in a low voice, "General Gao, how did you get it?" His Royal Highness has repeatedly emphasized that discrimination is not allowed in the army, and everyone is treated equally, and the brothers also know that you look down on the Slavs, but don't be so obvious, doesn't this make Your Highness unable to come to the stage? ”

Listening to Shi Wengong's complaints, and then looking at Zhao Yougong's cold and swishing back, Gao Chong also scolded wildly in his heart, and couldn't help but say bitterly, "General Shi, are you really stupid to such an extent that Gao?" His Royal Highness keeps emphasizing the things, no matter how arrogant Gao is, he has to take it to heart. This time it was purely a mistake in Zhang Bocheng's judgment, he thought it was just a simple matter, who knew that it would eventually evolve into this situation. ”

Shi Wengong rolled his eyes, and smiled bitterly in his heart, Zhang Bocheng's virtue is not influenced by Gao Zhong on weekdays, if Gao Zhong really takes the rules seriously, Zhang Bocheng would not dare to do this even if he had the courage to do so. However, Shi Wengong only clicked to the end, and if he said more, he would really provoke Gao Chong's jealousy, Gao Chong was the general of the royal palace, no matter how angry His Royal Highness was, it was impossible to take Gao Chong's life. The school field was full of people, and seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Yougong took an iron horn from Sanniang and shouted at the tens of thousands of soldiers on the school field, "What happened in the seventh military camp made this king very sad, this king didn't expect you to do such a thing." If you are an old man in the Dingguo Army, then you should know what the military order is. This king has said more than once that we have come to Kiporos to rule this land, and from now on, Kiporos will be the land of our Great Song Dynasty, and the Slavic children will also be the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will join the army and participate in the war, not only to eat, but also to guard the land under your feet and guard our lives. Wearing the same military uniform, you are comrades-in-arms and brothers. Do you dare to look down on this and look down on that, have you ever thought that one day, on the battlefield, standing behind you is the person you look down on, you can't respect and love each other, and how to support and protect each other when you go to the battlefield in the future. You have all remembered to this king that your mutual respect today is not for others, but for the sake of better survival on the battlefield in the future, and only by uniting together can you become stronger. ”

On the school field, only Zhao Yougong's voice was endless, his feelings were sincere, and every word deeply shocked the hearts of the soldiers. The Slavic soldiers did not understand, but the interpreter would translate every sentence accurately. Taking a breath, Zhao Yougong changed his words and pointed at Zhang Bocheng, who was tied into a dumpling, "This person must all know you, he is the commander Zhang Bocheng, the actual head of this military camp." Those Slavic brothers, this king knows that you have anger in your hearts, but this king assures you that since you have become a soldier of this king, you are the people of the Dingguo army, the most loyal people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will have the respect you deserve. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sanniang took two steps forward and shouted, "Zhang Bocheng disrespects military rules, listens to and believes partially, and acts unfairly, which leads to a brawl among the soldiers of the seventh military camp, and the military camp is ruined. According to the military order, there is no forgiveness for killing. Someone came, escorted Zhang Bocheng up, and disposed of it according to the military order. ”

Several Ruifeng battalion soldiers dragged Zhang Bocheng to the edge of the martial arts platform, and the surroundings of the school became silent, even Zhang Bocheng gave up struggling, at this moment, Zhang Bocheng seemed to accept his fate, he also knew how stupid he was. His Royal Highness is right, Kipros will be the land of the Great Song Dynasty after that, although the Slavs have different skin colors, they are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will become powerful soldiers of the Dingguo Army, why do they still engage in discrimination in the army? It's a pity that it was too late to understand, violating military regulations, resulting in the destruction of the 7th Army Camp, each of which is a capital offense. Zhang Bocheng is also a commander no matter what he says, even if he dies, he will not be a coward, Sanniang pulled out a short knife and carried it out in person, Zhang Bocheng raised his head and looked resolute, "Concubine Hu, give the last general a good time, the last general is ignorant, and he has caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness in vain, even if he dies, it is difficult to atone for his sins." ”

Sanniang finally showed a look of praise and nodded at Zhang Bocheng, "You are still a man, you dare to act, you have not insulted the position of commander, what you committed this time is too big, no one can save you, and on the Huangquan Road, don't blame Your Highness." ”

After a while, Zhang Bocheng lowered his head, and Sanniang slowly raised the knife, the blade shining coldly, reflecting the scorching sun. Everyone held their breath, and everyone understood that if Princess Hu went down with this knife, her head would really fall to the ground. Suddenly, many people have a heart of fear, the same fear accompanied by regret, and looking back, how ridiculous and meaningless the previous actions were. A Dutong felt guilty in his heart, Zhang Bocheng actually wore it for everyone, the rebellion in the seventh military camp was not Zhang Bocheng's crime, but the sin of many people, this Dutong knelt on the ground and arched his hand, "I also hope that His Royal Highness the princess will be gracious, although General Zhang made a big mistake, but not only did we not give birth advice, but also contributed to the troubles, and it was also difficult to get out of the relationship." ”

When one person stood up, more people stood up, and in an instant the school field fell to their knees, all of them were voices pleading for Zhang Bocheng, most of these people were veterans of the Dingguo Army and Mongolian soldiers, and some were soldiers from Siberia. Looking at the school field kneeling down, the voices came and went, wave after wave, Zhao Yougong's face became very ugly, this is a plea, it is simply a forced palace.

As more and more people fell to their knees, those Slavic soldiers also had different expressions, and Princess Hu wanted to kill Zhang Bocheng with her own hands, which everyone did not expect. In the Slavic soldiers' mind, a little punishment, the matter will pass, after all, the law does not blame the public, and after punishment, it can be regarded as an explanation, and the Slavic children will no longer complain. No one wants Zhang Bocheng to die, the destruction of the Seventh Military Camp like this is not Zhang Bocheng's sin, if you watch Zhang Bocheng being killed, I can't bear not to say it, I'm afraid it will really bury a hidden danger. They are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will go to the battlefield together in the future, if it is not one heart, then how can they cooperate? There are smart Slavs who have figured out all the joints, they stood up and joined the ranks of intercession, gradually, someone took the lead, and all the Slavic soldiers also began to intercede for Zhang Bocheng, this time, the seventh military camp can be regarded as one heart, seeing this scene, Zhang Bocheng couldn't help but burst into tears, before he had never taken the Slavs seriously, but now, these people are kneeling on the ground to intercede for themselves, now think about it, what they have done is really ridiculous.

Gao Chong's heart has been entangled, Zhang Bocheng is a fierce general, this guy is brave and strategic, good at marching and arranging, it is a pity to be killed like this. It's just that Gao Chong has never been able to find a reason to intercede, seeing that the Slavic soldiers are all kneeling on the ground, Gao Chong's expression moved, and he felt that the opportunity had come, so he came to Zhao Yougong in three or two steps, and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, please read on Zhang Bocheng's past achievements, this time he is also a first offender, just spare his life." Zhang Bocheng has today's mistakes, the last general is not effective in supervision, and the royal family is not strict, and it is difficult to escape the involvement, and the last general is willing to be punished with Zhang Bocheng. ”

Shi Wengong, Yelu Sha and the others looked at each other, stepped forward together, knelt behind Gao Chong, and said in unison, "Now that it is the time to employ people, Zhang Bocheng has realized his mistake, and I hope His Highness will be extrajudicial and spare his life!" ”

Several bigwigs in the army took the lead, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the school field also shouted together, "I hope Your Highness will be extrajudicial and merciful, and General Rao Zhang will not die!" I hope that His Royal Highness will be extrajudicial and gracious, and General Rao Zhang will not die! ....." Listening to the waves of pleading, Sanniang finally hesitated, she put away the knife, looked at Zhao Yougong inquiringly, and after a while, Zhao Yougong sighed and waved his hand to signal Sanniang to stop. In fact, Zhao Yougong didn't want Zhang Bocheng to die, but if the affairs of the Seventh Military Camp were not handled well, it would bring endless hidden dangers.

Raising his hand and stretching out his gaze, his voice finally fell into a low voice, and finally turned into silence. Zhao Yougong opened his throat, and a smile appeared on his face, "I can see that everyone is united, this king is very relieved, since everyone is interceding for him, thinking about the first offense, this king will save Zhang Bocheng from death." However, the violation was the first, and the seventh military camp was reduced to ruins, and this matter could not be ignored. Therefore, capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped, and as a general in the army, you must set an example, and if you commit a crime, you will be severely punished. The commander Zhang Bocheng, fifty lashes, is not strict with the control of the high favor and the emperor, and it is difficult to escape the blame, twenty lashes. Zhang Bocheng was demoted to the commander of the capital, and Gao Zhong was demoted to the commander of the command, and he was in charge of the capital control function. May the officers and men of the army take this as a warning and do not commit it again. ”

After that, Zhao Yougong looked at Gao Chong and Zhang Bocheng, and asked with a displeased expression, "You two, do you have any objections to the king's disposition?" Zhao Yougong was clearly asking Gao Chong, what kind of virtue this confidant will be, he knows very well. Gao Zhong is not a person who does not know what to do, although the position of the capital has been taken down, but the authority has not changed, as long as he makes a little meritorious service in the future, this position will come back. As for the twenty whips, the resistance to the first resistance is over. It's Zhang Bocheng, if you go down with fifty whips, you will lose half your life if you don't die.

Gao Zhong glanced at Zhang Bocheng, wanting to see Zhang Bocheng's attitude, Zhang Bocheng kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, the last general will be happy, how can there be any objection." Even if he is dead, it is also the last blessing. ”

Zhang Bocheng has already said so, and Gao Pet naturally no longer has a second word. In this way, one commander, one commander, and two generals in the army were hung up and whipped. The military whip is different from ordinary whips, and it not only hurts when it hits people, but also leaves deep wounds. Who is a high pet? He is a military giant on the same level as Niu Gao, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Yelu Dashi and others, even if Yang Zaixing, in terms of qualifications and prestige, he is much worse. Now this military giant is actually tied up and whipped up, which was unimaginable before. This whip was whipped on Gao Zhong and Zhang Bocheng, and it was also whipped on the hearts of Shi Wengong and other soldiers of the Dingguo Army, this whip down, everyone completely realized the importance of military restructuring, this time it was a whip, and next time someone dared to engage in discrimination in the army, it would definitely be a death, His Royal Highness can be extrajudicial once, but there will never be a second time.

Those Slavic soldiers were already full of tears, they really felt what respect was, at this moment, they really found a sense of belonging, an honor that belonged to the Dingguo Army, and a pride that belonged to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. A rebellion in the seventh military camp did not cause a greater disaster, and Zhao Yougong also went through this turmoil and used familiar means to win the hearts of Slavic soldiers. After that, the restructuring of the entire army proceeded very smoothly, the phenomenon of discrimination in the army disappeared cleanly, not only did the Chinese language teaching classes in the army flourish, but the Eastern and Western soldiers sat together and learned from each other, and the atmosphere in the army became extremely harmonious. Although there are indispensable things in the barracks that are brave and ruthless, they have nothing to do with discrimination.

Everyone is happy, the only unlucky ones are Gao Pet and Zhang Bocheng, Gao Pet is still better, relying on a hard kung fu, and rough skin and thick meat, he quickly eased up, but Zhang Bocheng, half of the name is left, don't want to get out of bed for at least a month.

Zhao Yougong, Xiao Zhiyun and his entourage returned to Vladimir City, and in the city lord's mansion, everyone gathered together to discuss some things. After the events of the seventh military camp, Luo Weidenov became more and more respectful of Zhao Yougong, and the regent of the East looked a little young, but he was resolute and resolute, and he was full of grace and power, and he won the hearts of the soldiers. Now, the whole of Kipros has completely submitted to the Eastern Empire, and the regent has been called the "unsinkable Emperor of the East" by his sons in the army.

"Your Highness, the latest news from the direction of Yelinburg, the Danes are gathering on the Baltic Sea coast, and it is estimated that they will have to make a move soon" Dongfang Jin scratched his forehead, and there was an indescribable sadness between his eyebrows. Zhao Yougong is also worried, although the army restructuring is going smoothly, but it is not possible to use troops on a large scale in a short period of time, and there is really no good way to face the attack of the Danes, "Inform the Yellinburg garrison, once the Danes raid the area of Yerinburg, don't fall in love with the war, take the initiative to retreat, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, we don't need to spend too much strength for that benefit." ”

Lovednov nodded secretly, he also thought so, the Danes are not stupid, they just came to hang around, it is impossible to be stationed in Yerinburg. The regent can be regarded as bending, and knows how to make the corresponding trade-offs, "Your Highness, the ministers think it is very strange, the Danes dare to go to Yelinburg at this time, it is impossible not to rely on it. The subordinates suggested that the first and second military camps be transferred to the high ground west of Kiev to cooperate with the Kyiv garrison to guard against the Germanic cavalry. Lothair, the old fox, is likely to take the opportunity to bite us. ”

Lovidnov's suggestion is full of foresight, when he used to cross Kipros, he was indispensable to deal with Lothair, this old Saxon fox, is definitely a rare wise man in a century. At that time, the principalities of the Holy Empire were in chaos, and the Franks were in turmoil in the West, and the empire was full of holes, and the situation was very bad. Faced with this dilemma, Lothair relied on the prestige accumulated over the years to overshadow the Germanic powers, pinch the empire together, and force the Duchy of the Franks to become the Holy Roman Empire through a major war. Lothair's abilities are unquestionable, and even after the defeat of the Crusade, his influence remains. Lothair was scheming, after the failure of the Eastern Crusade, the strength of the Duchy of Saxony was not greatly depleted, and the real impact on the foundation was the eastern aristocracy led by the Frederick family, and the Knights of the Holy Cross were almost wiped out, which directly led to the decline of Dorle's control over the eastern territories. Schwein was indeed wise, but without the Eastern Crusade, the Danube aristocracy would not have been able to compete with the great nobles of the East. The Danube nobles and the eastern nobles fought to the death, but Lothair hid in the castle of Suplin and sat on the Diaoyu Tai. Compared with Lothair, Dolle and Schwein were still a little immature, but Louis, the fat man who sat in the Duchy of the Franks, was very aware of current affairs, and took advantage of the opportunity that the Danube nobles and the eastern nobles had no time to take care of, and further expanded northward to the vicinity of the Frisian Islands, and the northwest of the Duchy of Lorraine, which originally belonged to the Germans, also fell into the hands of the Gauls.

For such a long time, there has been no movement in the Duchy of Saxony, Lothair watched Dorle and Schwein toss, and it seemed that he had no intention of reconciling, this situation is too weird, to say that Lothair is not prepared, it is estimated that no one will believe it. What Lothair's idea was, Lovednov didn't know, but he knew that there must be some conspiracy involved. More than 200 years ago, the Germanic people showed strong ambitions for the Istrian Highlands, and to this day, they are increasing rather than decreasing. Dongfang Jin actually has this consideration, no matter what the reason, he has to station heavy troops in the west to defend the Duchy of Saxony, "Your Highness, what Lord Luo Weide said is very true, although the Germans and the Danes do not have a good relationship, but now that Kiplas is in our hands, it is difficult to guarantee that the Danes will have other ideas." It was safe for the 1st and 2nd barracks to be stationed in the western part of the Istrian Heights, and the Caucasus direction was also to be defended, and although Wofrey surrendered, he had to prepare for the worst. Dolle is ambitious, and although he is now in conflict with Schwein, as long as he has the opportunity, Dolle will definitely expand his power to the east. ”

Zhao Yougong frowned, his fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and the sad look between his eyebrows could see how tangled he was in his heart. The Danes' invasion of the Baltic Sea seemed to be a simple military operation, but in fact it was secretly turbulent, and the Duchy of Saxony in the west had been quiet for too long, and no one could understand the intentions of it. In the western part of the Istrian Highlands, the terrain is flat and fertile, stretching for hundreds of miles from north to south. The 1st Barracks, the 2nd Barracks, and the garrison of Kyiv City all add up to more than 50,000 people, and these soldiers and horses are scattered to the west of the Istrian Heights, and they cannot be exhaustive. Of course, the best way is to increase the garrison in the west, but now that the army restructuring has just begun, no one dares to guarantee how much credibility the original Slavic soldiers have, and in this case, Zhao Yougong does not dare to move on a large scale at all. In the final analysis, the troops are still not enough in a short period of time, Kiporos has a vast territory, and there are too many places that need to be garrisoned, "There is no problem in transferring the first military camp and the second military camp to the western part of the Istrian Heights, but this king is still worried, such a big place, there are no less than twenty small cities, not including the main roads, these soldiers and horses can't defend it at all." In this way, these soldiers and horses should establish a defensive line a hundred miles west of the city of Kyiv, and then do not send troops to the main roads of the city to the west, and concentrate their forces to hold the line of the city of Kyiv. Even if the Saxons take advantage of the situation to attack the Istrian heights, as long as we hold on to the surroundings of Kyiv, they can't do anything about us. As for the Caucasus, it also had to be guarded, and Shi Wengong ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to establish a defensive line in the northern Caucasus, in short, the reform of the various armies must be carried out strictly, and when the reform is over, we have enough soldiers and horses, so we don't have to be afraid of the Germans and Danes. ”

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. Whether the Eastern Empire is as powerful as the legend is immediately clear, "Van der Sar, Rick, you lead your troops into Klaipěda, and order your subordinates, if necessary, do not do senseless killing, all the food and other materials in the city are transported to the ship, and do not leave anything for the Orientals." ”

"Chernoh, the cavalry of the department rests, and tomorrow morning to the east, launch a surprise attack on Yelinburg, and be sure to take Yelinburg in one battle" After entering Kipros, how to fight, Fayunna has already planned, so it is easy to arrange. The Danish soldiers carried out the military orders in an orderly manner, and the progress of the various departments was very smooth, and the small town of Klaipeda could not resist at all, and in a moment it fell into the hands of the Danes, and half an hour later, Fayunna rode into the town. Early the next morning, the Knights of the Birds, under the command of Chernën, began to approach Yerinburg eastward, and for a time the Slavic people along the way retreated, fearing that they would become the ghosts of the Danes. The soldiers stationed in Yelinburg belong to the elite of the Dingguo Army of less than 500 people, and the rest are more than 1,000 Mongolian servants, and more are Slavic servants. Yue Wenhai, the commander of the garrison, made a quick decision and directly ordered the implementation of the retreat plan customized by Kiev City, the garrison withdrew from Yerinburg with food, and retreated along the southern hills to the river crossing. Regardless, the Danes took Yeelinburg without much difficulty.

From Klaipeda to Yellinburg, the Danes were so demoralized that many of them became arrogant. Even Quasimotu became excited, he felt that everything had come too easily, and the Orientals were so miraculous that they were really vulnerable to a fight. While many Danish aristocrats were planning their next move, only Favina remained awake. Favanna was more sensible than ever, and he knew very well that the area around Yerinburg had been sent by the Orientals on their own initiative, and if they continued to plunder to the south or east, the Orientals would definitely resist based on the fortified city. Are the Orientals cowardly and vulnerable? If anyone thinks so, it is the No. 1 big fool in the sky, Yerinburg is the goodwill thrown by the Orientals, and the food and supplies are given to the Danes, as long as they are not forced too hard, the two sides can still live in peace. Fayunna keenly understood the meaning, the Orientals were really smart, and temporarily backed down to avoid greater conflict. Naturally, Fayuna did not know what to do, and came to Yerinburg to plunder profits, not to form mortal enemies with the Orientals. Yellinburg has already been taken, and the next thing is to wait and see what happens, and if he really wants to continue to attack south, he will fight with the Orientals, and the Germans will be the happiest. Let's see how far Lothair can go, and if the Germans can make a breakthrough in the Istrian Heights, it's not too late to make a decision on the next step. Fayunna did not give the order to march south, and the Danish nobles led by Quasimotu could not stand it, and there was a lot of noise in the castle.

"What does His Royal Highness think, and why hasn't there been a new order yet? The Orientals are vulnerable, and it is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue them," Cherno slapped the table, his eyes full of greed. The rest of the nobles chimed in, and Quasimoto was also unwilling. A cough came, and the chaotic castle hall immediately fell silent, Fayuna walked to the table with a cold face, and swept around with an unkind expression, these nobles really couldn't hold their breath, "Do you really think that the Orientals are so unbearable?" In the face of a strong enemy, it is a smart move to retreat immediately. The Easterners withdrew, not because they were vulnerable, but because the area around Elinburg itself was not very important, and Yellinburg could be abandoned for the whole of Kipros. However, in the area of the Rogda hills, the Orientals must have sent heavy troops to garrison them, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and we only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to storm the Rogda hills, whether they can take it or not, in the end we will not be able to get any benefits. We want tangible benefits, not illusory ones. So far, there has been no news from the Germanic side, which is clearly to make us the vanguard, hum, we don't, let's see how far the Germanic side fights, and then it's not too late to make a decision. ”
