Chapter 225: Il's Thoughts

Except for Jonas, the people on the Piedmontese side were generally similar to Jonas, they were all surprised, they never thought that Il could recruit so many soldiers to fight for themselves with two counties, so they couldn't help but establish a sense of dependence in their hearts, while the people on Saruzo's side had a serious face, and there was only a solemn sense of imminent greeting of the lord in their eyes, as for the army led by Il, they were not too surprised.

No one notices the huge difference between the two sides, but even if someone does, it will not be strange, this is naturally determined by the political situation on both sides, in Piedmont, although the fertility of the land makes the total number of troops on this land roughly equivalent to the combination of Saluzo and Monferrato, but Karst does not have enough prestige to dominate this whole land, and the local princes attack each other, and the annexation of land happens from time to time, relatively speaking, the scale is relatively small, and the number of soldiers is generally maintained in the triple digits, so it is natural to see such a majestic military momentum at once。

The people sent from Saluzzo to support Piedmont are not, the Alramici family has long been deeply rooted in Saluzo, although the situation was very unstable when Il's was young, but in the end, the lords of the heirs of Al Ramich still occupy the vast majority, Jonas's father is like this, so when Il's grows up and shows full intelligence, most of the lords in the territory will obey Il, which also leads to the fact that small-scale fights rarely break out in their territory, and any problems will go to Il to solve, and when encountering foreign invaders, they will unite around IlAs a result, their battles were generally much larger than those of Piedmont, which is why the two sides behaved so differently against Il's army.

"Jonas, go and greet you. ”

Jung on the side watched that Jonas didn't run in the direction of Il like the rehearsal, but stared at him and didn't know what he was renting, and the nerves on his temples couldn't help but bulge, son, we can't be embarrassed in such a big scene, seeing that Jonas still didn't make any moves, Jung, who couldn't help it, could only knock on his son's back hard to make him pay attention to himself.

Jonas was stunned, such a large-scale army, he really hadn't seen much, especially the orderly order between the various departments, without the slightest collision, and the soldiers' equipment was also clearly armored, obviously, this was a well-trained army, at least in Jonas's eyes, it was not bad, and he fell into a trance, and was patted on the shoulder by Jung, who was riding a horse next to him, and didn't react until he realized what he was going to do next when Jung's strength made his head droop down by inertia.

Wave the reins and say a few words to Jonas "Bussephilus, don't eat, hurry up and run." Under the urging of him, Bussefilus under his crotch finally stopped his eating activities, listened to the words of Jonas's master, and with a long roar of the war horse, he galloped out of the greeting team with a "whoosh", which made Jung finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Jonas left the strong back of Bussefilus, walked in front of Il and saluted, and the two shook hands together, the meeting was finally completed after a month.

"Earl of Il, welcome. ”

Jonas said enthusiastically, although this is a bit polite, but when Jonas said it, there was still a bit of sincerity in it, he was really tired enough these days, and now that the party is finally here, his agent does not need to care about the specific things of the war, just sit on the logistics and other work, so in the words, there is really a little bit of enthusiasm revealed, so that Yir noticed.

"Jonas, long time no see. ”

Il's height is very high, Jonas stands in front of him, is an out-and-out dwarf, but Ilr respects Jonas very much, and does not bend down and smile and talk to Jonas like a child, but lowers his hand as low as possible, so that Jonas can reach out and shake his hand, this is an equal handshake, not a handshake between adults and children, which also makes Jonas very satisfied.

Sure enough, this Earl is very good at being a man.

The two of them exchanged a few words of greetings back and forth, and Jonas got on his horse, this time on the horse, Jonas's movements were quite good-looking, not as before, someone had to help him to be able to ride on Bussefilus's body, which was brought about by his hard training for several days in a row, in order to be able to do this, he now sewed several pieces of silk fabric on the back of his pants with shocks, which allowed his buttocks to be temporarily soothed, but the results were obviously visible, which made Jonas satisfied.

According to etiquette, he rode to the left side of Il, and squeezed Viscount Zigar, who was originally standing beside Il, to the side, Zigar is also very aware of current affairs, and directly let a gap for Jonas to squeeze in, in his opinion, Jonas is just a child, as an elder, he still has to be considerate and considerate of young people's impulsiveness and impoliteness, not to mention that this is just etiquette.

Jonas didn't know that Zigar would have so many little thoughts flowing through his brain when he squeezed between him and Il, so he just stood next to Il, leading Il and his army, towards the greeting procession in front.

The process of welcoming is undoubtedly stinky and long, in the ancient aristocratic culture, the relationship between the earl and the viscount, and the baron, is not as rigorous as in the traditional sense, each of these nobles has its own vassal, each also has its own lord, and their lord is the vassal of Il, the relationship can be called a ball of yarn played by a cat, it is complicated, especially the nobles who Jonas has attracted to his side with his political prestige, such as Viscount Juana, and the three barons, they have no affiliation with Il, this time, the relationship is even more chaotic。

Jonas introduced the native nobles of Piedmont to Il, and then Il's introduced them to Saluzo and the new nobles of Monferrato who followed, Jonas naturally also needed to know these nobles, in order to expand his circle of friends, so that between the back and forth, Jonas didn't know how to shake hands with a few people, as for the names to remember, Jonas looked back and thought about it, there were definitely no more than 5.

It's such a boring welcome ceremony, but these nobles have a lot of fun, touting each other that even Jonas, a former sycophant, is a little unbearable, and just wants to hide his face and run away, especially the nobles of Montferrato, as soon as they open their mouths, they say, "I knew that the Earl of Il was good, and it was not wrong for me to lead the army to revolt at that time" Something like that, I heard Jonas keep despising it, weren't you chosen because the old nobleman was killed, and you were obedient, when did it become that you overthrew the rule of the original lord, do you have any shame.

The welcome ceremony was in the midst of a long greeting, and finally it was over, and everyone rode horses, talking and laughing along the way, as if Il had come with an army of tens of thousands not to fight, but to come for an outing, and no one mentioned the war, smiling as if spring was coming, and Jonas was also introducing what dishes would be at the banquet later.

Everyone present knew that the matter of the army would not be publicly preached in front of so many people, after all, it was wartime, and Il, who was also on the front line, and there were so many people around him, who knew if someone would leak the news of their conversation.

Especially these native nobles of Piedmont and the new nobles of Montferrato, they also know what Il's attitude is towards them, although they greet them with a smile on their faces, but whether they treat them as their own people or not, even they don't believe it, so they are all very knowledgeable, and they have talked about art and relationships, as for the army, this is still left to Il and his think tank to solve.

Ilr gave the army to the knights around him to command, and Jonas also left behind, and brought the army brought by Il, where there was plenty of food for the soldiers to feast on, and Eir himself rode his horse with the nobles who came with him, and followed Jonas directly towards the town of Cangsong.

The soldiers saw that Il and Jonas's team was speeding away from the team and running towards Cangsong Town, and thought that the lords were hungry and wanted to eat quickly, only Jonas and Yir and a few people knew that from the moment Yir arrived in Cangsong Town with his army, the countdown to the battle began.

And the maximum limit on the timer is food.

It's just that ordinary soldiers don't care about these things, and when they come to the camp that Jonas has prepared for them, warm tents, plenty of firewood, and pizza with slices of meat, and beer without much water, these delicious food and rest items are far more important to the soldiers than strategic things, and they all eat happily, if it weren't for the surrounding officers holding leather whips and urging them not to make excessive noises to disturb the residents living in Cangsong Town, these people would probably start dancing。

The happiness of the soldiers, the nobles naturally can't understand, and they really have no interest in understanding the happiness of the soldiers at the moment, everyone under the guidance of Jonas, they came to Jonas's castle non-stop, and very quickly announced the start of the reception banquet, and then Jonas, Jung, as well as Zigar and Il, and so on, after only a few glasses of wine, most of them followed Jonas to the third floor of the castle, in a conference room that had been prepared.

Closing the door, the guards prepared by Jonas stood guard every three paces, all soldiers who had been trained on the battlefield for many years, very experienced and vigilant, and anyone who tried to approach this room would be arrested by them.

And the remaining few of Il's and Jonas's cronies stayed in the well-fed hall, chatting and laughing with the remaining nobles, and by the way, monitoring their every move, after all, these people are people who are not trusted by Il, and Il's is not at ease to let them be alone.

The conference hall was soon filled with people who hadn't even changed their clothes, Jonas sat next to Jung, and across Jung, it was the Earl of Il, and on the other side of Jonas, it was Viscount Juana, the first to lead his army to his side and become a partner on a chariot, under Jonas's strong recommendation, he finally entered this venue that only his descendants could enter, looking at his somewhat admiring eyes, Jonas nodded in his heart, it seems that he also has his own team。

"Okay, are you all here?"

Il first took a few sips of black tea, and then asked Jung on the side, these questions should have been asked to Jonas, the organizer, after all, this is his territory, and the people who will be present on the Piedmontese side are also written by Jonas to send a letter to Il, so it makes sense for Jonas to report it.

But Il, taking into account Jonas's age, and after Ilr told Jonas about this decision, Jonas also accepted it, and finally gave these counting tasks to his father Jung to do, as for why Jonas didn't want to be the person next to Il, in this meeting?

Haha, look at these viscounts, if they were just a rich second generation, maybe they would just be jealous that they had a good father and could win the favor of Earl of Il, but if they became the host of this meeting, then these people would not be simply jealous to solve, especially those heirs in the family, whose children are the same age as Jonas, especially so.

As long as these parents think about their children competing with Jonas in the future, maybe they have the urge to deal with him, and Jonas doesn't want to be a thorn in the side of these people, after all, he just wants to live comfortably, and he doesn't want to form a gang, as for Jona?

Well, Jonas admits, he's still a little ambitious, just a little bit.

Of course, there was another key reason, and the reason why he was reluctant to do this, and that was that he did not know the nobles of Saluzo and the new nobles of Montferrato.

"It's all here, Count. “

Jung stood up from his position, took the straw paper in his hand and kept sketching the names with charcoal on the faces of these people, in order to determine the number of people in place and the number of absentees, here he is the only one who knows all the nobles, whether it is Saluzo or Monferrato, he has met, and the nobles of Piedmont have also remembered about the same in the past few days, so Jung clicked one by one, and finally told Il an accurate answer and sat back in his place.

Low-key is a good character upheld by the Luger family.

"So, let's get down to business, I don't think I need to talk nonsense, and everyone here has learned about the battle here through letters, Jung, and I'm wondering now, how long can you support the army with the food you have prepared?" (To be continued.) )
