Chapter 955: Sensational News
Compared with Yue Fei's generals, because Chu Yi's army first went straight to the black-clothed food, Yue Fei always followed the army and did not rush back to the army first.
However, Han Shizhong, because the army under his command was in the stage of stalemate with the Byzantine Empire, led his generals back to the army on the third day after entering Beijing.
The Byzantine Empire as a country that inherited the ancient Roman Empire, has a profound heritage, the ancient Roman Empire was divided into two, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire, completely inherited the heritage and essence of the ancient Roman Empire.
The Byzantine Empire, which has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, has been able to stand for so many years, obviously because it has its own merits.
Moreover, the position of the Byzantine Empire is also destined to never stop fighting, not to mention that the Holy Roman Empire, which was established after the destruction of Western Rome, has always regarded the Byzantine Empire as a major problem, and the two countries have never been short of wars.
This time, Han Shizhong commanded an army of more than 100,000 people all the way west, leveling countless small barbarian states, and naturally encountered the Byzantine Empire, which had been entrenched in this land for nearly a thousand years.
As soon as the two sides just fought each other, Han Shizhong clearly felt the heritage of the ancient empire from the Byzantine Empire.
The Byzantine Empire is now under the rule of Lomanus V, but the situation in the Byzantine Empire is actually quite bad.
The Byzantine Empire's royal power was in conflict with the clergy, and the clergy tried to suppress the royal power, and it is conceivable that in this case, it was quite difficult for the Byzantine Empire to be divided without division.
Cardinal Williams, who was sent by the Pope, has always been committed to establishing the church above the royal power, but Lomanus V is obviously not a person willing to give up power in his hands, so the struggle between the royal court and the papacy is almost not clear.
As the strongest force in the hands of Lomanus, the royal court guard is also the strength to compete with the cardinal archbishop, which can be said to be extremely powerful.
As the strongest thirteen divine knights under Lomanus, each of them can be comparable to the existence of the celestial level, in the Byzantine Empire, the strong man of the celestial level is called the divine knight, and as the lord of a country, he can have as many as thirteen divine knights, which shows the rich heritage of the Byzantine Empire.
The Holy See, which can also compete with the royal power, and even does not fall behind, is by no means an ordinary force, as a papal force entrenched in the entire Western world, just like the Central Plains Daomen and Buddhism, there is a deep-rooted power in this big character.
As a cardinal archbishop of the Byzantine Empire, Williams himself is a celestial-level powerhouse, and there are also more than a dozen bishops under him.
Each bishop is a celestial being, and together with Williams, controls millions of believers in the Byzantine Empire.
Lomanus divided the entire Byzantine Empire into more than a dozen military regions, and the eastern region was managed by the Governor of Wells, the Wells family was an ancient aristocratic family of the Byzantine Empire, and it can be said that it had a deep relationship with Lomanus V, otherwise, it would not be possible to become one of the controllers of one of the more than a dozen military regions.
Wells is one of the more than a dozen divine knights among the royal court guards, but the Wells family is not the only one with such a strong celestial powerhouse, plus Wells, there are as many as two.
This is also one of the reasons why the Governor of Wales did not rout when he encountered Han Shizhong's troops and horses.
Han Shizhong was cautious in his use of troops, after all, it was impossible for him to attack the opponent's country in one go before he figured out the true essence of the Byzantine Empire, if the opponent's strength was not strong, it would be fine, but once the other party was a strong empire, it was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and as the commander of an army, he naturally did not dare to joke with the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops under him.
It is also the strength of the Wells family, coupled with Han Shizhong's caution, so when the two sides fought at the beginning, they were cautious enough.
Wells immediately sensed the strength of the invading enemy, and even called for friends and asked for help from the central court.
Lomanus V was obviously not careless about his henchmen's request for help, so he sent several of his knights to help Wells.
As a result, as more and more strong men were gathered in the eastern region under Wells, Han Shizhong, who originally planned to try to attack the eastern region, dispelled the idea of rashly using troops, and instead turned to confront the other party, secretly sending some people to quietly infiltrate the Byzantine Empire to find out all the news about the Byzantine Empire.
The more he inquired, the more news Han Shizhong got about the Byzantine Empire, and naturally he became more aware of the Byzantine Empire.
That's why Han Shizhong mentioned in front of Chu Yi that his men and horses were not very sure that they would be able to break through the Byzantine Empire, but according to the information he had sought, the background of the Byzantine Empire was not bad at all, and if he really worked hard, those people under him were really not the opponents of the other party.
Fortunately, during Han Shizhong's departure, as the governor of the eastern region, Wells did not attack Han Shizhong's men, and the armies of the two sides were dozens of miles apart, as if they had a tacit understanding, they confronted each other from afar.
On this day, Han Shizhong rushed back from Beijing, and Shi Bao, who was in the army, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Shi Bao was left by Han Shizhong to sit in the army, don't look at Shi Bao is a strong man of heaven and man, but the other strong men in the army all returned to Beijing with Han Shizhong, which can't help but Shi Bao is not worried about whether the people of Wells on the opposite side will suddenly kill.
Shi Bao, who has already fought with the opponent several times, knows very well the strength of the opponent's top powerhouse, and even Shi Bao is not sure that the opponent's divine knight can stabilize the opponent.
"Han Shuai, you are finally back, if you don't come back, I'm really worried that when the other party charges, the army will be destroyed."
Seeing Han Shizhong leading Lu Wenlong and other celestial powerhouses to return, Shi Bao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Han Shizhong smiled slightly and said, "It's been General Shi hard these days. β
Shi Bao shook his head, and looked at Han Shizhong and the others with curiosity: Han Shuai, this time I returned to Beijing, I don't know what happened to the chief manager's urgent summons?
Obviously, Shi Bao was quite curious, what was the matter with Chu Yi summoning Han Shizhong back to Beijing? He did not return to Beijing, so naturally he did not know what was going on in Beijing.
As Shi Bao's friends Fang Jie and Li Tianyan were also under Han Shizhong's account, listening to Shi Bao's question at this time, Fang Jie even told Shi Bao what happened in Beijing, only to hear Shi Bao's eyes widen, and his face was full of disbelief.
After a while, Shi Bao came back to his senses and looked at Han Shizhong and the others: "So, before the chief manager ascended, the last time he sent troops was to destroy the black-clothed Great Food and the Byzantine Empire?" β
Han Shizhong nodded slightly and said: "If there is no accident, the Grand Governor should have planned to clear these hidden dangers for the Great Song Dynasty before his ascension, so the Byzantine Empire and the Black-clothed Great Food, which may threaten the Great Song Dynasty, are all within the scope of the Great Governor's destruction." β
Shi Bao laughed and said: "If that's the case, then it's really great, listening to Han Shuai say this, this time the Byzantine Empire is doomed." β
Earlier, they were still worrying about whether to stop their westward expansion, after all, the Byzantine Empire blocked their westward expansion, and the Byzantine Empire's own strength was also very strong, which was not something that they could cope with with a single soldier.
Previously, Han Shizhong and the others discussed when to withdraw their troops and return to the Central Plains, but they didn't expect that Chu Yi would go on the expedition for the last time before he soared.
A cold light flashed in Li Tianyan's eyes and said: "This time, there are no less than thirty people at the level of heaven and man under the account of the Grand Administrator, even if the powerhouses of this Byzantine Empire are doubled, they will definitely not be able to escape the catastrophe of destruction at that time." β
Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, they knew very well what a gorgeous lineup Chu Yi had sent troops this time, it could be said that all the heavenly and human powerhouses who had a trace of their subordinates went out with Chu Yi, and there were even heavenly and human powerhouses such as Yang Wenguang and Seed Master Dao, who had made up their minds to leave with Chu Yi.
If you calculate it like this, there will probably be as many as forty celestial powerhouses brought by Chu Yi.
That's a celestial powerhouse with nearly forty people, to be honest, they really can't think of any empire in this world that can have so many celestial powerhouses.
The Governor of Wales, who had no idea what kind of opportunity he had missed, was busy sitting in the city to defend against the attack of Han Shizhong's troops.
After Han Shizhong returned to the army, with all the celestial powerhouses in charge, the army naturally did not have to worry about being attacked by Wells and others.
The most important thing is that Han Shizhong and the others have the bottom in their hearts, and they are not in a hurry to set up camp dozens of miles away from the city where Wells is stationed, and they are practicing soldiers every day, without the slightest intention of attacking.
After a long time, even Wells and several divine knights who rushed from the royal court were a little suspicious of what Han Shizhong and the others meant.
That's a full hundred thousand people, not to mention the rest, the daily consumption of these hundreds of thousands of people alone is an extremely terrifying number, that is, backed by the huge empire of the Great Song Dynasty, plus the full support of the imperial court, otherwise, people can drag a country down if they eat horses.
Aladdin, the god knight, was fighting with a colleague on the school field this day, both of them were god knights, if it wasn't for the strength of the fight, the whole school field would be razed to the ground.
Suddenly, a long howl came from the city, and both Aladdin and Robert were shocked, and the two of them rose to the sky, but they rushed to Wells's side in a blink of an eye.
Wells was now confronted by three bishops, three of whom were under Archbishop Williams.
Wells, as a supporter of royal power, is naturally extremely repulsive to the bishops who represent the clergy, and now there are three bishops in the city of Wells, how can this not make Wells feel a great threat.
For this Holy See, Wells is naturally very jealous as a nobleman, but all along, Williams, as a cardinal archbishop, has focused on the royal court and has not sent too many subordinates to preach in major cities.
But this time three bishops appeared at once, which made Wells a little worried. Even for this reason, Wells hurriedly recruited Aladdin and Robert.
The two sides were opposed, Wells had confidence, and said to the three bishops opposite in a rather unkind tone: "Three, you are not welcome in Wells City, please leave immediately, otherwise it will ......."
Without waiting for Wells's threatening words to finish, one of the bishops shook his head at Wells and said with a solemn expression: "Governor Wells, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, I am not here to preach in Wells City, but to come to help the Governor on the order of the Cardinal Archbishop." β
Wells couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the other party say this, glanced at the other party in surprise, and at the same time turned around and looked at Aladdin and Robert beside him, obviously to see if the two understood each other's meaning.
It's just that Aladdin and Robert didn't know what was going on, so they shrugged their shoulders at Wells and shook their heads.
Bishop Abnus took a deep breath and looked at Wells with a solemn expression: "Three, I believe that it will not be long before the king's will come, and then you will be able to feel our sincerity." β
Saying that, Abnus looked at the east outside the city with a little worry on his face and said: "If I say that the Seljuk Turks, who had fought several battles with the great warring states of the Byzantine Empire, have perished, do you believe it?" β
"What?"
"The Seljuk Turks have perished? What are you kidding? β
Both Wells and Robert were shocked when they heard Abnus's words, obviously confused by the other party's words.
Abnus shrugged his shoulders and said: "But this is the truth, you should know what the power of our Holy See is, this is the news from the Holy See, just a few days ago, the Seljuk King Sanjar died, the royal city was captured, and even the black-clothed king city of Baghdad was also breached, and in less than half a month, the Seljuk dynasty and the black-clothed food were destroyed." β
Both Wells and Robert were shocked when they heard Abnus's words, obviously confused by the other party's words.
Abnus shrugged his shoulders and said: "But this is the truth, you should know what the power of our Holy See is, this is the news from the Holy See, just a few days ago, the Seljuk King Sanjar died, the royal city was captured, and even the black-clothed king city of Baghdad was also breached, and in less than half a month, the Seljuk dynasty and the black-clothed food were destroyed." Both Wells and Robert were shocked when they heard Abnus's words, obviously confused by the other party's words.

Both Wells and Robert were shocked when they heard Abnus's words, obviously confused by the other party's words.
Abnus shrugged his shoulders and said, "But this is the truth, you should know what the power of our Holy See is, this is news from the Holy See, just a few days ago,
