Chapter 639: Arrival in Europe

Wei Yan led the army all the way north, while Yong Xie Bu attacked Hua Thorn Zim. Zhao Shuo gathered all the remaining armies and began to move south, attacking Seljuk.

The Seljuk Empire was strategically located with the Persian Gulf to the south, the Black Sea to the west, and the Caspian Sea to the north. When Lin Feng led the army westward, he took Makran in the south of the Seljuks, and then through the Red Sea, he surrendered the Arab Empire, entered the Ayyubid Empire, and arrived in the Sinai Peninsula.

Then, Lin Feng began to build a port, built a large number of warships, and then advanced to Sardinia, where Lin Feng built a base and began to hoard soldiers and horses.

The rest was requested by Zhao Shuo, to use European countries against the Mongols, and at this stage, Lin Feng took the Muwahid Empire, which occupied northern Africa and the southern part of the Illyrian Peninsula.

The rest of the countries, according to Zhao Shuo's request, Lin Feng did not move, and also encouraged them to form an alliance to fight against the Mongols together.

Subsequently, the European Union was formed and began the road of confrontation against Mongolia, but in the end, these countries were constantly defeated by the Mongol army, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir and the Grand Duchy of Kiev were occupied by the Mongols successively, the Grand Duchy of Poland and the Kingdom of Hungary were in danger, and the European countries facing complete defeat had no choice, and finally decided to collectively defect to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shuo agreed to this request, so at this moment in Europe, Lin Feng's army was already the main body of the Mongolian army.

Now that the Mongols were constantly mobilizing troops to the west, it was clear that Muto's intention was to abandon the east, occupy the west completely, and then contend with the Great Song Dynasty.

Mu Tuo is such wishful thinking, how could Zhao Shuo agree.

Before attacking the Seljuk Empire, Zhao Shuo first gave an ultimatum, first, Zhao Shuo did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was still mobilized from Ghaznavid and Kusdar, although these soldiers and horses had advanced weapons, but Zhao Shuo was not at ease.

If it is the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses, Zhao Shuo still uses this, ask directly, whether to descend or not, and to fight directly if it does not fall.

He doesn't have that much time to spend here now. He had to rush to Europe as soon as possible to deliver a fatal blow to Muto.

The Seljuks were a big country. Defecting to Mongolia is not because they can't beat Mongolia, but because they want to find a backer and earn more benefits by relying on this backer.

Now Zhao Shuo came to the door of the house and directly asked whether he wanted to surrender, which was not just a matter of choice for Seljuk.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols, and the Seljuks could not afford to offend, they knew this, but at the end of this battle, who won the battle, no one could say, if the Mongols won in the end, today's surrender to the Great Song Dynasty would be the shame of the Seljuks, and it may also be the reason for their demise.

But if he doesn't surrender today, Zhao Shuo will definitely raise troops to attack, and in this way, Selju will definitely die.

The Seljuk king pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a solution that would offend everyone.

He found his second son and said to him. "My father is old, the country has laws, and the eldest son inherits the throne, but you are also my son, and I feel guilty for treating you like this, so I will also give you a chance."

For the throne, every prince has ambitions, so when the king said these words, the face of the second prince changed.

"Emperor, you also know that we have taken refuge in Mongolia, and now on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and Chen soldiers, we have no chance of winning against it, but if we don't surrender here, Mongolia will come to us to settle accounts one day, and we can't afford it."

"Father, you can tell the child what to do." The second prince said.

"I think so, I want your imperial brother to continue to stay in the capital, after I die, inherit the throne, what about you, lead the whole army, immediately leave Seljuk, gallop to aid Mongolia, after going, you say that we were attacked by the Great Song Dynasty, outnumbered, Seljuk destroyed the country, I hope Mongolia can one day help us enrich the country."

The king breathed a sigh of relief and continued. "Thinking about Mongolia, I shouldn't refuse the words of a general who leads a large group of men and horses. In this way, we have double insurance. ”

After speaking, the king looked at his second son, what do you think?

The second son thought about it and chose to agree.

The king handed over the order to mobilize the army to the second prince, and the second prince immediately led the army and left the royal city, and all the troops were transferred away.

On the third day after the second prince left, the king wrote a letter of surrender and prepared to send people to the border, but at this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no longer a single soldier in the imperial city.

He kept cursing the second prince in his heart, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. In the end, he had no choice but to send a few personal guards to send the letter to the border.

But less than three days after the escort left, they returned.

This made him a little puzzled, after all, this trip to the meeting, to say the least, would take seven or eight days to get right. In three days, it was only half the journey. Thinking of this, the king couldn't help but look back. Not to mention, there are really people in the back.

The king took a few steps and bowed. "Your envoys are here, the small country is shining, I wonder if His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty is also here?"

Zhao Shuo took two steps forward. "Seljuk is not a small country, and besides, it is still a military location, king, you are too modest."

"I didn't expect His Majesty Da Song to be so young, what a young hero." The king praised Zhao Shuo.

"Let's get down to business, you surrendered, what about the country's army, I'm going to take it away and go to fight Mongolia." Zhao Shuo got straight to the point.

The king hurriedly bowed his hand. "Oh, let's blame me for this matter, my unscrupulous son actually took advantage of my inattention, stole my talisman, and took the Seljuk army with him, I don't know where to go."

The king put all the blame on the second prince.

"My Second Prince, come out and talk about it." Zhao Shuo smiled at the entourage behind him.

At this time, a young general dressed in the costume of the Song Army walked out, first saluted Zhao Shuo, and then looked at the king. "Your Excellency, who do you see who I am?"

The king looked at the young man and was stupid. The young man in front of him looks exactly like his second son, but shouldn't his second son take the army to Mongolia? How could it appear in Zhao Shuo's barracks.

Could it be said?

The king thought of a question that he had never thought about, that is, the second prince did not take the army to Mongolia as he said, but directly defected to Zhao Shuo.

"Rebel son, rebel son, you want to destroy me Seljuk for the sake of personal glory,"

The king was heartbroken and pointed at the second prince, and was extremely angry.

"I'm for personal glory, I think it's you for personal glory, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, the land occupied, only military and diplomatic power, management or handed over to the original team, but Mongolia, the people who occupied the land are divided into three, six, nine and so on, they are high, when they took refuge in them, I don't agree, if it weren't for that Mu Tuo in a hurry to go west, my Seljuk would have died a long time ago. Now that Your Majesty has arrived, you have not directly attacked us, but have given us the right to choose, at this time, you still miss Mongolia, and you don't want to think about it, your little strategy can be concealed from Your Majesty, and when the time comes, will you be able to punish Seljuk? At that time, were you worthy of your ancestors and ancestors? ”

The king was speechless by the second prince's words, and stood still.

"Alas!" Zhao Shuo sighed. "You are a king, and you are not as sensible as your son? Let's retire. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo looked at the second prince. "As we said, you are now the king of the Seljuks."

After saying this, Zhao Shuoyou looked at the people who were following the king. "I don't know if the eldest prince is here."

At this time, it was useless to conceal it, so the eldest prince stood up directly.

"I have two paths for you to choose from, first, follow me to Europe and fight against Mongolia, and second, stay and accompany your father well, I think, the second prince named you a marquis or something, it should be no problem."

The second prince opened his mouth happily at this time. "Naturally, this is no problem, we brothers, in fact, even if I am asked to give up this throne, it is not impossible."

Naturally, most of the words of the second prince are false. In that case, he should obediently go to Europe and take refuge in Mongolia.

He turned his head to Zhao Shuo, first, he thought that it was impossible for Mongolia to defeat Zhao Shuo, and even if he took refuge in Mongolia, he would not be able to mix it up in the future, and secondly, he thought that it was more likely to get the throne by taking refuge in Zhao Shuo, especially since he still held all the Seljuk armies in his hands.

As he thought, before he could speak, Zhao Shuo promised to hand over the king of Seljuk to him.

"Your Majesty, it has been my dream to fight on the battlefield for so many years, and I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the west and conquer Mongolia."

The eldest prince is not stupid, the conquest of Mongolia has a great chance to master the army, but Seljuk has no military power in the future, and all garrisons must rely on the Great Song Dynasty to provide. One day, if you get acquainted with Zhao Shuo, you will be the leader of this garrison, and when the time comes, even if you are not the king of Seljuk, you can go sideways.

If one day he can find the pigtails of the second prince, this king will have a chance to get it back.

But if you stay, you won't have any chance. If there is Zhao Shuo, the second prince will not kill him, but if he doesn't kill him, it is still possible to send people to watch him every day.

In this way, he can only do this in this life.

Therefore, leaving with Zhao Shuo is already the only choice.

"Your Majesty, this is not good, my eldest brother has never led troops to fight against the Mongols......"

Before the second prince finished speaking, the eldest prince spoke. "Now that Seljuk has taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, there will be a war between the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia, as the eldest prince of Seljuk, I can't help my second brother manage the country, and go out to fight against Mongolia with my Seljuk soldiers, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country."

The eldest prince is unswerving, and the second prince doesn't want the eldest prince to go.

He was about to speak, but Zhao Shuo interrupted him. "Second prince, you are now the king of Seljuk, manage the country well, what the eldest prince said, there is some truth, let him follow me."

In the following days, Zhao Shuo and his party rested in Seljuk, and then led Seljuk's army to continue westward.

On the way, Zhao Shuo learned the name of the eldest prince - Parma.

For Parma, Zhao Shuo brought him out completely to contain the second prince, after all, it is possible for the second prince to do anything in the future, with the eldest prince by his side, Zhao Shuo will clean up the second prince one day, and it can be done simply.

"From now on, O Parma, you can just follow me." After traveling a distance, Zhao Shuo spoke his heart.

Since Pama was left in order to contain the second prince, then Pama must not be transferred to the vanguard, after all, the Mongols are not easy to mess with, if they are accidentally killed by the Mongols, then for Zhao Shuo, the loss will be great.

"Your Majesty, I still want to go to the front to fight." Parma came up with her own idea.

In his opinion, only after making meritorious contributions on the battlefield could he have the opportunity to lead the army into Seljuk.

If he stayed by Zhao Shuo's side all the time, there would be no chance of meritorious service, even if he returned to Seljuk in the future, there would be no threat to the second prince.

Zhao Shuo didn't say anything more when he saw Parma say this, he decided to find an opportunity to let Parma experience it first.

The opportunity soon came, and about a month later, the army left the Seljuks and came to the Sultanate of Rûm.

For this country, Zhao Shuo heard Lin Feng say that they wanted to remain neutral.

In Zhao Shuo's case, the world must be its own, and it is necessary to maintain a neutral country.

"Parma, it's okay, you can take the troops and let them surrender." Zhao Shuo handed over Seljuk's army to Pato.

After Pato took the talisman, the whole person was stunned, as the eldest prince, he was the successor of the Seljuk Empire, and he had always lived in the palace, where had he led soldiers.

Now that Zhao Shuo handed over such an important matter to him, he really didn't dare to take it.

"What's the matter, aren't you going to the front?" Zhao Shuo looked at Pato.

"Your Majesty, I want to start with a small soldier, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it." Pato figured out why.

Starting from a small soldier, although the promotion is slow, there are also opportunities. Moreover, starting from a small soldier can familiarize him with everything in the army.

Also, all the soldiers were Seljuk soldiers, and Parma thought that even if she was a small soldier, she was absolutely safe.

But his idea was directly rejected by Zhao Shuo.

"This time, I'll take you, and next time, it's up to you."

Parma was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Shuo to go into battle in person. "Your Majesty, you, this ......"

"What is this, I used to take 600 soldiers and horses to reach Fuzhou through the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Western Xia." After Zhao Shuo boasted a little, he said. "This Sultanate of Rûm, in front of our army, is not a fart, what a nonsense, they are stupid."

Next, Zhao Shuo took Pama and led the army straight into the Sultanate of Roma.

The neutrality of the Sultanate of Rum meant that it wanted to protect itself from no one and no one was offended.

Now that Zhao Shuo's army is coming, they can't bear it, so they have no choice but to surrender.

All the troops of the Sultanate of Rum were moved to the east on the border with the Seljuks to monitor the Mongol movements.

Zhao Shuo took Pama to lead the army and directly entered the Byzantine Empire, and then, Zhao Shuo wrote a decree to Lin Feng, preparing the two armies to go north directly and fight to the death with Muto.
