After saying that, before the others could reply, Joseran pulled his brother Galiland out, pointed to his chest, and said, "I almost forgot to say that if I want my plan to succeed, I must be the commander of the siege tower, and my brother Galilan must be the commander of the crossbowman, he is a master of archery." In addition www.biquge.info I'm not interested in your holy city, I just need the Duke Godfrey in front of me to promise me a condition, that is, to give me a castle, this condition should not be too much for you, right? ”

Before Baldwin and the others could attack, Godfrey on the seat immediately raised his hand, "This is not too much my relative, as long as your plan is successful, I will give you the richest city by the sea." Let's put it this way, once the Holy City falls, you can go to me and guide you wherever you want, then even if the other lords and even my own brother are unwilling, I will personally take my own guards to help you capture it and put it in your hands. ”

Joceland laughed heartily, then bowed respectfully to Godfrey, and then unhurriedly stated his plan.

After hearing this, Godfrey frowned but finally made up his mind, "My relative, your suggestion does have a ghostly chance, but it will take us a long time to plan this matter, and once it is completed, I will keep my promise and let you and Gariland be the commanders of the siege." The honor of recovering the holy city, your brothers must be the most shining. ”

The Duke then asked the camp to send the fastest horses, carrying the most astute heralds, to divide the request for help into four parts, and gallop to the port of Jaffa, three to the fleet stationed there to ask for help from Gawain, Guillaume, and Conrad, and to send one to the city of Antioch to Bohemond.

After the meeting, Baldwin, full of depression and grief, paced up and down in his tent, very anxious.

The hermits Peter and Gregor sat silently, waiting for the catharsis of the young Adana lord, who they knew was in a bad mood.

"My brother has simply forgotten who his siblings are and who his enemies are. That Sambel was a cowardly and corrupt fellow, and he sat back in Sidon and watched our bloody battle; And that Joselan had not only coveted the fiefdom of Bouillon, but had also wandered merrily in Italy, and only after we had defeated Nicaea, Cilicia, and Antioch in a bloody battle did he come here in a ship to try to share the merits. In the end, Baldwin became more and more angry, and couldn't help complaining about Gawain, "It's true, Joselan's letter of recommendation was actually written by Gawain, doesn't he understand the face of this bastard?" He also said that he would elect Joselan as my brother's military governor. ”

Hearing this, the hermit Peter opened his mouth, "After all, before the capture of the Holy City, everyone had to work together, not to mention that your Eustace family, Jocelan, is ......"

"He's Burke's cousin." Baldwin disdainfully revealed the other party's identity, but strangely enough, Baldwin had always been very close and trusting to Burke.

Peter nodded, and then reassured, "Your Excellency, your territory is in Adana, and you are in the same breath as Gawain, and these two years have been very peaceful and smooth, so that your army is well fed and strengthened. Believe me, your brother, who loves you, but now he must rely on Joceland's cunning and ability. As long as you have Adana's territory, Gawain's allies, and your brother's love, you will draw your sword and smash them through even if any enemies try to kill you in the future. ”

Only then did Baldwin's mood gradually calm down......

When the letter reached Antioch's palace, Bohemond read it, and smirked at his red beard, "It seems that Joselan has been going very well lately. Then he also walked to a sand table map made of mercury plates, on which were vast models of the sea and land, entirely in the terrain of Marash, Edessa and the Levant, and Bohemond, who had always been hiding in the city of Antioch and only sent his nephew as his agent, had secretly followed the secret agreement with Gawain before:

I stayed in Antioch and digested the newly acquired lands of Syria, Tartus, Latakia, etc.;

And Tanfred went to the Holy City to fight, and when he was successful, he gave Godfrey a reward of a piece of territory, and also took the opportunity to take this brave but stubborn dangerous young man away;

Of course, Lord Bohemond's ambition and vision will not be so short-sighted, when the Joceland brothers first entered the port of Saint-Simon, he was keenly aware that this was a good stake to break into Godfrey's power, so he secretly tried his best to curry favor with Joceland, and bribed him to be his "eyeliner" and "dark chun", in the future, if Godfrey was big, he could instigate the use of Joceland to stir up trouble at any time;

In addition, Bohemond had already planned a bigger plan: he now had Antioch, Latakia, Tartus, Samosata, and Edessa, and his land and military strength were on a par with Gawain, and when the time was ripe, he was ready to conquer and destroy Marash, destroy this rebellious Armenian bandit kingdom, and then turn back and annex the rich Aleppo, and take half of the Levant's trade routes, so that he could completely control the situation in the Holy City, and then lead the army south to become a figure of the Emperor's level.

When the time comes, Gawain dares to stop him and destroy him in an instant;

The Greek emperor dared to disobey him, so he burned Constantinople to the ground, and demoted Alexios to the rank of chief of Thrace;

I can also assemble a huge and invincible fleet to attack Sicily and Calabria, and take back the territory that should have belonged to me from my Uncle Roger!

The more Bohemond thought about it, the more relieved he became, and he couldn't help but look up and laugh.

The wind gusted down the terrace of the palace, stirring the precious silk curtains, and blew it to the table of mercury plates, and Bohemond laughed tiredly, and then leaned on the edge of the table, and he was the only one left in the whole empty hall, and suddenly felt a little unspeakable loneliness in his heart, probably because there was no one to guide him to the country.

Almost at the same time, Conrad and Guillaume, who were stationed on the banks of the Harris River, after receiving an urgent letter from the Holy City, summoned the Archbishop of Milan to counsel, and then came to the foot of Anglasburg and took their leave to the camp of Tetisius.

General Tetisius, who led the army, was polite and asked if it was necessary to send an army escort.

Conrad and Guillaume tried to refuse, saying that we should take the remaining 25,000 men and march towards the city of Iconium, and that we had communicated with Gawain and that they would take them in order.

When the pilgrims departed from the camp, the guards who were standing by the wooden fence and watching, asked, "Why did they change their route?" Don't go to the Sivas Plateau. ”

"Because Merrick's courage is cracked, and so is their courage, they will never dare to set foot on that plateau without our cooperation with Gawain, including the third wave of pilgrims who have already crossed the sea." Tetisius replied with a squinting smile.

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them noticed that the Count of Blois and the Count of Normandy were walking towards them with solemn expressions. (To be continued.) )
