After saying the main topic, Pope Leo I immediately entered the state, and he said: "Honorable Emperor Xià, although it is not the first time that the barbarians have invaded the empire, but in my opinion, this time is even more severe than before, I don't know if the emperor has any understanding of Qin Dong, the emperor of the Hu Empire, I have learned about this person, compared to Attila, this Qin Dong is more aggressive, under his rule, the territory of the Hu Empire exceeds that of any previous Hu chief, Even the territory of the Roman Empire in its heyday is not as large as the current territory of the Hu Empire, and compared with Attila, this Qin Dong is younger, His Majesty also participated in the Battle of Chalons nine years ago, it should be very clear what that battle represents, if we don't win that battle, I'm afraid the empire has disappeared, and the Roman civilization no longer exists, and this time is the same, the Hu Empire is strong, as long as the Burgundian Kingdom is destroyed, the empire will directly face the Qin Dong soldiers, I think that while the Hu Empire is now attacking the Burgundians, the empire can immediately mobilize troops to go to the territory of the Burgundian Kingdom to fight against the Qindong army with the Burgundians, and this is the Venetian Bishop Jon, who is the envoy of the Burgundian king Gundobad, and this time I came to meet His Majesty Xià on behalf of Gundobad to ask His Majesty for help, and as the pope of the Holy See, I can travel between countries and lobby the Visigoths, Franks, Ostrogoths, Gepids, etc. to unite to form a coalition against the Hu Empire, I believe that as long as the organization of the coalition is successful, it will definitely be able to block the troops of the Hu Empire, if it drags on, it will be too late for Qin Dong to destroy the Kingdom of Burgundy! ”

Majorian looked at Jon when he heard this, and Jon hurriedly saluted. He then took out the token that Gundobad had given him and a letter for help written in parchment, and handed it to Majorion.

Majorian took it and looked at the token, and then read the contents of the letter of request for help on the parchment scroll from beginning to end, while he was reading it. Both Leo I and Jon looked at him nervously, lest he say anything against the refusal.

After reading the letter, Majorian did not say anything, but quietly closed the parchment and put it aside, returned the token of Gundobad to Jon, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Pope, Bishop Jon, this matter is a big deal. I need to think about it, so let's go back first. Once you've decided, I'll send someone to tell you to come back again! ”

Leo I and Jon glanced at each other, and knowing that they could not convince Majorian on the spot, they bowed together and exited the main hall.

After the two left, Majorian had been thinking and weighing whether to unite other countries to organize an alliance against the Hu Empire. Now all countries know why the Hu Empire wants to attack the Kingdom of Burgundy. It is because the caravan of the Hu Empire was sacked in the Burgundian Kingdom, and the Hu Empire sent troops this time to seek justice, and there was no obvious intention to target the Western Empire. It's good to win, but once the Hu Empire is provoked. Defeated again, I am afraid that the Hu Empire will not give up, and it is not impossible to directly enter Italy.

Now that the Western Empire has just solved the problem of the western Gaul provinces, only the Vandals on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea in the south are the main troubles, and the country has basically stabilized, but there are still warlords in various places who firmly control the local military power and power and refuse to hand it over.

There is a thorn in Mayor's peace of mind, that is, there is a person in Rome who has always been eyeing him, this person is Li Ximir, although Li Ximir is a good friend with him, and he can sit on the throne of the emperor, and also benefit from Li Ximir's strong support, but he can feel the threat of this person to himself, and he can also guess the real purpose of this person, otherwise why does this person stay in Rome with his descendants and refuse to move?

Majorian also thought that the implementation of the new policy during this period was not going well, and after investigation, all kinds of signs showed that it was Richimir and some nobles who were obstructing it that made the reform difficult.

Thinking about it, Majorian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, can he use this Hu invasion of Burgundy to solve the problem of Li Ximir and those nobles? As long as Leona can persuade all countries to send troops together to organize an alliance to fight against the Hu Empire, then a person must be determined to be the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, and this person must be the general of the Western Empire, so can he persuade Li Ximir to be the commander-in-chief? As long as this person leaves Rome with his descendant army to join the coalition against the Hu Empire, then he will have time to clean up the nobles in Rome who block the implementation of the New Deal, they have no military power, and they can't afford to make big waves, no matter whether Li Ximir loses or wins against the Hu Empire army on the battlefield, this person's influence on the political pattern of the Western Empire will be gone, and the logistics of the army need to be supplied by Rome, without food, grass and ordnance, and without a base area, Li Ximir's army can only be reduced to a rootless Ping, As long as this person leaves Rome with a large army, he is destined to lose control of Rome, and he can completely control Rome, and when the time comes, they will cut off their food and grass, and send a large army to guard the checkpoint position, and there is no need to send a large army to attack, and Richmir's army will be scattered.

Thinking of this, Majorian suddenly became excited, as long as this plan can be implemented, with the help of the Hu Empire to eradicate Li Ximir, he can completely control the political situation of the Western Empire, and other local warlords do not have to worry, they can be subdued with a little means.

The next day, Majorian sent someone to inform Leo I and Jon, who immediately went to the palace to meet Majorian when they received the news.

Leo I was very excited, and he couldn't wait to see Majorian, as if he was cured, "Has Your Majesty promised to organize a coalition to fight against the Hu Empire?" ”

Majorian said: "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, and I think that the Pope is very reasonable, the Kingdom of Burgundy is a vassal state of our country, and it is also a strategic buffer zone between our country and the Hu Empire, and our country cannot let the Kingdom of Burgundy be attacked, I agree in principle to organize a coalition against the army of the Hu Empire, and this matter of lobbying countries to send troops to organize a coalition army will be left to the Pope, if the Pope succeeds in lobbying in various countries, and all countries agree to send troops, there is a precondition, That is, the supreme commander of the coalition must be appointed by the empire, but I have just returned from Gaul on the other side, and the soldiers of the army that followed me are exhausted and are recuperating, and I am in the process of implementing a new policy, I really can't leave, I can't be the commander of the coalition forces, I will appoint General Li Shimir as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, if the Pope can persuade General Li Ximir to be the commander of the coalition forces, I will strongly support this matter, and I will give food and equipment, and equipment and equipment. I wonder if the Pope will be able to convince General Richmir? ”

Leo I couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he didn't understand why Majorian didn't personally serve as the commander of the coalition forces, if this joint fight against the Hu Empire army was successful, Majorian would definitely gain great prestige, but Majorian pushed the position of the commander of the coalition forces to Li Ximir, but he thought about it carefully, Majorian has been working hard for the implementation of administrative matters recently, and it is reasonable not to want to give up halfway, and being the commander of the coalition army is also a very important thing, It makes sense for Majorian to recommend Richmir, after all, Richmir is also very powerful and prestigious in the entire empire, but if Richmir becomes the commander of the coalition forces, can other countries agree? After all, those countries are all kings or tribal leaders who lead their troops to war!

With this concern, Leo I asked: "Your Majesty, I am fully sure that I will persuade other countries to send troops to organize a coalition again, and it will be their king who will lead the troops when the time comes, if the empire sends General Li Ximir as the commander of the coalition army, will he be able to serve the people?" ”

When Majorian heard this, he knew where Leo I was worried, and immediately said: "The Pope is too worried, nine years ago, when the coalition forces fought together against Attila's army, it was Lord Aetius who served as the commander of the coalition army, and Lord Aetius is not an emperor, and he can also make other kings willingly obey the command!" ”

Leo I said that Prime Minister Aetius had considerable influence in various countries back then, and could Li Ximir be able to compare with Prime Minister Aetius? Despite this thought in his heart, Leo I did not say it, and he promised: "Well, since His Majesty agrees, then I will try to convince General Li Ximir!" ”

"Well, General Li Ximir is a person who understands righteousness, and the Pope's eloquence is so good, I believe that General Li Ximir will definitely agree, but the Pope must not mention me when he goes to see General Li Ximir, otherwise, he will definitely not agree!"

Leo I wondered, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

"If the coalition is victorious, the commander will surely gain great prestige, and in the character of General Richmir, he will certainly not want this, and he will be afraid that I will be suspicious of him because of his high merits, and the Pope understands what I mean?" ”

Leo I immediately understood when he heard this, he was a very wise person, and immediately understood Majorian's true intentions, although he understood Majorian's calculations, he didn't mind driving Richmir out of Rome, Rome was without Richmir, and the government would definitely be stable, and a stable Western Empire would also be very beneficial to the Holy See.

Leo I nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, this matter is on me!" (To be continued......)
