Whether it is conquering Lenks City or taking Aldan City, the power of the Celestial Empire's army is unmatched for a while, full of morale, and it seems that no one can win.

The strong momentum of the Celestial Empire's army soon reached the ears of Anatoly, the Grand Prince of Rus', and Ivan, the Second Prince.

The two princes who were originally fighting in a stalemate, because of the strong entry of the Celestial Empire's army, the war was suddenly extinguished. The armies of both sides unanimously rose to a halt.

In any case, the fight between them is a matter of national importance, and even if Anatoly borrowed the troops of Ukraine and Kazakhstan, it would be just a stopgap measure. Once he defeated Ivan and unified the country, these foreign troops must be withdrawn. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind leading his troops to occupy the territory of these two neighboring countries.

In other words, these reinforcements were within a controllable range, but the appearance of the Celestial Empire's army did break this rule, and their strength also caused panic in the hearts of the two princes.

This can be seen from the fact that the two sides are not fighting, they are deeply afraid of the Celestial Empire army, and not fighting now is a manifestation of retaining their strength.

In the residence of Prince Ivan, he was anxiously looking at the battle report in his hand, which was a report that Utkin and Mikhail had abandoned the city of Adan.

Listening to the words of the national teacher Philadimir, Ivan was already mentally prepared to lose Adan City in his heart, but he still didn't expect that the defeat would be so miserable, looking at the report, the 500,000 army, not even 300,000 really escaped.

Not to mention the loss of 200,000 troops, it was still in a very short period of time, which means that Mikhail and they have not inflicted heavy losses on the Celestial Empire army at all, which means that they still have enough strength.

To fight a war is to kill people, but it is your own people who die. As an opponent, there is really no big deal, and this result is not what Ivan wants.

"Report, the national teacher is here, just outside the door." A guard entered the hall and reported very respectfully.

"Please." Hearing that it was Feladimir coming, Ivan spoke repeatedly, and at the same time straightened the placket of his body, moved the muscles on his face, and smiled as much as he could.

Since the death of his father and the death of the emperor, and after learning that the relationship between the national teacher Feladimir and his mother Natasha is more than friendship, it is impossible to say that Ivan does not hate at all in his heart. This matter is destined to become the laughing stock of some people.

It's just that the ambitious Ivan also knows in his heart that he doesn't have the ability to kill Feladimir now, or that he can't kill this person for the sake of the big plan.

Compared with the eldest brother, Ivan was already weak, and with the assistance of the national teacher Philadimir, he had the heart to compete with the eldest brother. If he kills this person now, then needless to say, he will definitely be the one who loses the army, and for the sake of the throne and the unification, he has to swallow his anger.

But this is ultimately forbearance, not not to send it, but not to do it, but to do it before the time comes. Before he has absolute strength, he still needs to maintain enough humility in front of Feradimir, only in this way can this person be able to help him sincerely, and only in this way can he have the hope of inheriting the unification.

His face changed constantly, and after putting a smile on his face as much as he could, Feladimir was led into the hall by the guards.

"National teacher, it's hard work, what's the situation?" As soon as he saw Philadimir coming to him, Ivan asked with a pretended to be very concerned. Just after he and his eldest brother ceased war, Feradimir was given the task of going to the alliance with the Anatoli, and this time he returned, and presumably the matter should have come to an end.

Ivan had a humble expression, looking at Feradimir's eyes, he seemed to be very satisfied, he first nodded lightly, and then clenched his fists and replied: "Second prince, I have already agreed with Anatoly that the two armies will temporarily truce, and the first strike will blast the army of the Celestial Empire out of the territory." ”

"That's great." Hearing that his eldest brother also had the same thoughts as himself, Ivan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. What he is most worried about is that Anatoly will not take the Celestial Empire in his eyes, but will fight to the death with himself, if this is the case, once the Celestial Empire wins, then all the sins will be pushed on himself, and at that time, he will become a sinner in the history of Rus'.

In fact, Ivan was a little too careful, and the Celestial Empire not only used troops against him, but also used force against Anatoly. More importantly, his eldest brother has always regarded himself as an orthodox person on the throne, so how could he allow others to get their hands on his country? Not even my own brothers, let alone others.

In this way, Feradimir's trip was very simple, and through this trip, he gained more things, that is, about the invitation of Anatoly to him.

After the death of his father, Feradimir chose to help his brother Ivan, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by Anatoly, and he paid a very heavy price for this. Ivan, who he thought he could easily defeat, had the strength to compete with him, so he had to lead the troops of Kazakhstan and Ukraine to gain the upper hand.

If it must be said, without Feladimir's help to Ivan, the situation in the Rus Kingdom would have stabilized long ago, and it is impossible for the current Celestial Empire to take the opportunity to enter the country.

It's just that things happen, and it's useless to talk about it, and all Anatoly is thinking about now is how to solve the problem for himself. And solving it from the root is undoubtedly the best way, if you can persuade Feladimir to abandon Ivan and follow him, then once the army of the Celestial Empire is blasted out, won't the world of the Rus Kingdom be his own?

Anatoly, after no one else, told Feladimir what he thought. In order to convince the other party, he even took the initiative to talk about his brother Ivan's personality. That is, once one day he can take power, I am afraid that it will be the death period of some people. Because of the humiliation of his mother, Ivan's character will never go uninvestigated.

Anatoly's reminder was heard in Feradimir's ears, and he only smiled and did not answer. But only he knows in his heart how he will treat Ivan once he gains power. As the first wise man of the Rus' country, even if others have seen it, how can he not see it? Just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't know.

Now seeing Ivan so respectful in front of him, and even speaking with a hint of caution, Feradimir has the same smile on his face, but what is thinking under the smile, others can't see through it.

But no matter how everyone played their own lives, in the face of the sudden appearance of the great enemy of the Celestial Empire, they still stood on the united front and decided to divide their troops to fight. In any case, if the Celestial Empire is not driven away and Zhang Chao is not repulsed, the Rus' Kingdom will never be able to talk about reunification.

"Second prince, according to the agreement, we have to deal with the enemy south of Pahan, and now it's time to transfer the army over to repel the army of the Celestial Empire." Feradimir began to talk about the direction of the battle.

Ivan didn't have any doubts about this, and immediately nodded: "What the national teacher said is very true, even if that's the case, then let's discuss the specific matter of sending troops." ”

In any case, the Celestial Empire's army now occupies the two cities of Haibolan and Adaner, as well as many villages near the city, which has seriously threatened them, even if it is for their own foothold, Ivan must send troops. The difference is only the number of troops sent to oneself.

It's just an agreement to fight against the Celestial Empire, and with this point, let Ivan mobilize all his forces to deal with the Celestial Empire, he won't do this. What if he was fighting against the Celestial Empire's army, and the Great Prince Anatoly came behind his back? Isn't it equivalent to making a wedding dress for others with your own efforts?

The second prince Ivan can come to this day, and he can fight against the eldest prince with the identity of the second prince, which is not only luck, but also cleverness and wisdom. He would never do anything like this to give it a free run and leave no precautions.

Therefore, it is okay to send troops to the Celestial Empire, but the number of troops must be limited, that is, he must leave a certain number of troops to defend his homeland. The so-called heart of harming others must not be had, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

When Ivan said that he would only send a part of his troops instead of the entire army to meet the Celestial Empire's army, the national teacher Feladimir just smiled, he had already guessed what the other party was thinking, and he also knew that the Great Prince's side would definitely do the same. This is tantamount to giving the Celestial Empire army a chance to breathe, which is not a good thing in the long run. But he couldn't say anything deeply, after all, the battle between the two princes would not end so quickly unless one of them died.

After the death of the Great Emperor Yaxiongfuqiang, the Rus' Kingdom was destined to have such a catastrophe. And those who can survive the catastrophe are needless to say that they are all smart people.

Although the two princes will not send all their forces to deal with the army of the Celestial Empire, Phila Dimir is still very optimistic, in his opinion, the Celestial Empire is strong, and in the face of the attack of the two princes, it will definitely not be an opponent, this is just an episode, and in the end, the question of the ownership of the Rus' Kingdom will also arise in the two princes.

......

Haybalan City.

Zhang Chao stayed here with a regiment and conducted urgent training on the recently surrendered Rus' prisoners.

The first way of training is to stand in a military posture and queue.

When the newly joined Rus' prisoners found that all they needed to do every day was to stand there and practice starting, stepping, running, and forward walking, they all had great confusion on their faces, could they kill the enemy after training this thing? Are you kidding?
