Leo I, worthy of the Pope, personally arrived in Toulouse to communicate and negotiate with the head of the Arian sect, Bishop Mossa, a sect of Christianity, led by Arius, who was Bishop of Alexandria, and according to the Bible, Jesus was subordinate to the Father and opposed to the Church's great wealth. The Arian sect was considered heretical for a long time by the authorities and other factions within Christianity. At the Council of Constantinople in 380 AD, the Holy Spirit was accepted as the Triune Godhead, and the Arianism was again denounced as heretical. By that time, the theology of the Trinitarian was largely established. From then on, the Arian sect was in great veins, and only among the Germanic peoples remained.

I don't know what Leo I talked about with Bishop Mossa, what secret agreement or deal the two had, anyway, Bishop Mosa promised to lobby Visigothic King Theodoric II to send troops to join the coalition army to fight against Qin Dong's army.

Among the surrounding barbarian states of the Western Roman Empire, only the Visigothic kingdom was the strongest, which is why Leo I's first stop was Toulouse, as long as he persuaded Theodoric II to send troops to join the coalition, then it would be much easier to persuade the kings of other countries to send troops to join the coalition.

In the south of the Visigothic Kingdom, there are still a large number of Alans living in Spain, and they live in the territory of the Western Roman Empire, which is equivalent to living in the Western Roman Empire. It's okay to pull over and make a lot of noise.

On the one hand, Leo I took the edict of the Western Roman Emperor Majorian to lobby Sanguiban, the king of Alan, and on the other hand, in his capacity as the papal see, he communicated and negotiated with the Arian bishop who was stationed in the place where the Alans lived, so that he could lobby Sanguiban, the king of Alan. Nine years ago, the king of Alan led his people to participate in the battle of Shalon, and the memory of that battle is still fresh, and that battle is also the most proud battle in his life, and now the Hu people are invaded south again, the king of Alan, Sanjiban, believes that this time the Germanic tribes must also form an alliance to resist the Hu army in eastern Qin, under the two-pronged approach of Leo I, the king of Alan, Sanjiban soon agreed to send troops to join the coalition army against the Hu army.

After Leo I conquered Sanjiban, King of Aran. Immediately set out north to meet Hildrick, the leader of the Franconarian tribe in northern Gaul.

This time, instead of meeting the Arian bishop in Paris, Leo I went directly to the Frankish tribe to meet Hildrik, knowing that even if he did, it would be useless. Because Cheldrick was the only Germanic king who did not join the Arians, the Arian bishops of Paris had little influence on Cyldryic.

"Your Excellency Lord Hildryk, I am Pope Leo of the Holy See, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you! Leo I said when he saw Hildryk.

Nor did Cyldric care that Leo I did not salute him. After all, the identity of Leo I was there, and he said lightly: "His Excellency the Pope has come here thousands of miles away, and I and the Franks of the Sally tribe are deeply honored. Are you trying to convince me to convert to Christianity? ”

Leo I laughed and said, "If Your Excellency the Chief has this wish, Leo would be willing to preside over the baptism ceremony for Your Excellency!" ”

Cyldrik shrugged: "I'm sorry, I don't have this plan for the time being, but I won't interfere with the faith of other people in the tribe, and it would be okay if His Excellency the Pope stayed here to preach!" ”

Cheldrick had no faith in Arianism. But he did not convert to Christianity, but later his son Clovis converted to Christianity. Clovis converted to Christianity was the wisest decision of his life, and it reflected the long-term vision of a politician. Although the Western Roman Empire had fallen, the Roman Church was still a powerful and influential force, and there were a large number of Christian Romans in Gaul, who urgently needed to find a pillar among the powerful barbarians. Clovis became a pillar of support, and from then on he was invincible with the support of the Christian church and its congregants.

On the other hand, it can be seen how far the church's influence in the secular world reached at that time, and the alliance between the church and Christianity could become the lord of the world, and this was also the beginning of the later medieval theocracy over the monarchy.

Hildrik was a simple-minded man, at least politically and militarily, and especially militarily, but he was also a very womanipulous man, and when he was not yet the head of the Sally tribe, he insulted the women of his subjects in 451 as the son of the previous chieftain of the Sally tribe, and in order to appease the anger of his subjects, Merovi had to depose him as heir and deport him to Thuringia, where he shared a common hobby with Cao Cao. After defecting to King Bisinus of Thuringia, he was fascinated by Basina, the queen of Bisinus. Basina, the queen who seduced the latter, took Basina's territory to her territory at every opportunity. When the Franks put him on the throne, he married Barsina. Later, the two of them gave birth to Clovis I, and Cildrik was one such person.

Leo I, as pope, could not have stayed in Paris as a missionary himself, and he had a large number of younger brothers to send, so in order to prevent Hildoric from diverting the topic, he immediately turned to the main topic and said: "Your Excellency, the Hu people of the north have invaded south again, and now they have penetrated deep into the heart of the Burgundians, do you know about this?"

Hillcreek took a sip of wine from a glass made of a human skull, and Leo I felt his stomach tumble when he saw it, but he kept cursing Cheldrick for being a real barbarian.

"Your Excellency, I have heard about this these days, what? Is it true that His Excellency the Pope has come to tell me about this? ”

What a cunning barbarian! Leo I was resentful in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Naturally not, according to the current war situation, the Burgundians are obviously unable to resist the front of the army of the Hu Empire, without the help of external forces, the destruction of the Burgundians is a matter of these months, once the army of the Gorhu Empire fully invades the Burgundians, then the northwestern part of Gaul will be completely cut off from the Western Roman Empire, if the army of the Hu Empire comes in the direction of Paris at that time, Your Excellency Chief, Do you think that the Franks of the Sali tribe under your command, the Gallic army under the command of General Egidious, the governor of Gaul stationed in the Paris Basin, and the northern army under the command of General Paul will be able to resist the great army of the Hu Empire? ”

Hildrick's face changed when he heard this, you must know that this time under the oppression of the Western Roman Empire, his tribe had to move north in order to survive, so he invaded the territory of the Hu Empire, and his Sally tribe was still the main force in invading the Hu Empire, the Hu people would definitely not just endure it, it was a matter of time before they moved westward, and at that time, what would the Franks do to resist the powerful troops of the Hu Empire?

After a sharp spin in his mind, Cheldrick said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, tell me what you really mean!" What do you want me to do? ”

Leo I said word by word: "In alliance with the Western Roman Empire, His Excellency the leader personally led the entire army to the east to join the coalition army against the Hu Empire, only in this way can the countless tribes living on the continent of Obaro have any hope of survival, otherwise, everyone will be wiped out under the iron hooves of the Hu Empire!" ”

Cheldrick was silent, he had actually admitted Leo I's statements and speculations in his heart, but he quickly remembered that not long ago, the Western Roman Emperor Majorian personally commanded a large army to defeat his Franconarian tribe, and the whole clan had to migrate north, which offended the Hu Empire, if it wasn't for Majorian leading a large army to attack, how could his tribe go to grab food with the Hu Empire in the process of moving north? In the end, this qiē was caused by the Western Roman Empire.

Thinking of this, Cheldrick was furious, "Hmph, Your Excellency the Pope, you must be too whimsical, aren't you?" And don't you feel too abrupt to come to Paris this time? Don't you know that some time ago Majorian personally led an army against my tribe, which caused my tribe to move north in order to survive? In the process of moving north, you harassed the territory of the Hu Empire, and now you came over to persuade me to join the coalition organized by the Western Roman Empire to fight against the Hu Empire together, don't you think that the Western Roman Empire is turning its face faster than turning a book? Of course, you're thick enough, and Majorian is thick enough, and you're still hostile to us one moment, and you can smile at each other the next, and then you might be slashing at each other the next, right? You just use us as a urinal, kick it under the bed when it's useless, take it out when it's useful, and throw it outside when it's too smelly and smash it, don't you? ”

Leo I was ready to laugh at Hildryk's words, but he remembered the purpose of his trip, so he couldn't help laughing, "Your Excellency, maybe you're right, but it's all a trick of those in power, I'm just a clergyman, I'm a messenger of God, my mission is to make God's people live happily and contentedly, not to let them live in misery, maybe the Roman authorities are taking advantage of you, but you should know that you are being used means that you still have some value, If you're not being taken advantage of, you're not even worth anything, are you? It's not terrible to be used, it's terrible to be used by others and help others count money, you can also use others, whether you can do it depends on your intelligence and means, that's right, did the emperor lead the army to attack your tribe, but that was before, now the situation is different, if your tribe is not united with the Western Empire, then both of you will be swallowed up by the Hu Empire, this is the top priority at the moment, as long as you can win this war, both of you can be preserved, as for the future, Who knows how it will develop? You say, don't you? (To be continued......)
