Zhu Wenkui listened to her words, thought for a moment, and did not express his opinion for the time being. And Captain Jaska next to him became curious.

"Do you know how many people Guo Gongzi has?" He asked.

"It is said that he brought a team of thirty or forty people. In addition, there are a large number of slum dwellers gathered around him, and the number of these people may be at least in the hundreds, and it is impossible to count them accurately. Joanna said.

"How many people are there who besiege him, and how many are you men?" Captain Jeska immediately asked a series of questions: "What is the state of the enemy's armament, and are there any regular armed forces secretly involved?" What about the armament on your side, and the training of the rest of your men? ”

"Well, the enemy side is very crowded, so there shouldn't be an army to participate. My words...... Mainly the manpower provided by the family. They are all mercenaries, they have participated in battles, and their combat effectiveness is quite reliable. Joanna didn't seem to think so carefully, hesitated, and replied.

"I can feel it now, it's very chaotic. You should know better than I know the current environment. Captain Jeska reminded: "In this case, the most important thing is to quickly conduct reconnaissance to find out the origin of the enemy, the strength and the distribution of each armed force. At the same time, you must have a good understanding of your own organizational skills, the level of preparation, and the training of soldiers. ”

"If you don't even understand this, you just run headlong into it, and it's likely to lead to unexpected results and make the situation worse." He shook his head: "I think this is military common sense." ”

Joanna couldn't refute what he said, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.

"That's right." Captain Jeska thought for a moment and asked, "Where did your mercenaries come from?" The background color of different mercenary groups is very different, so it's best to do more research to make good use of them. ”

He asked vigorously one after another, and he was indeed very knowledgeable, and everyone in the Wu Wangfu seemed to support him to inquire about these news. Joanna couldn't avoid it, so she had to admit: "I used to command those more reliable cronies, and I really don't know much about these mercenaries. ”

"They were hired by my father in his hometown and came with the merchant navy. I felt that something was going to happen in the city, so I let my brother take over the group and keep the main force of them, just in case. I didn't expect it to come in handy. ”

"Italian mercenaries?" Captain Jaska ignored her explanation and hurriedly asked.

"Ah, yes."

"Also...... Yes. Captain Jaska scratched his head: "At least when the city nobles are fighting, they are quite professional. In today's situation, maybe people have experience......"

Zhu Wenkui could see that he probably looked down on these people a little. But in this case, an extra group of people is always a help. He thought about whether to say a few words, but before he could speak, he heard Captain Jeska say again: "But there is another problem, I was a little strange just now. But the little girl was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to ask—why did you all come here to help?" ”

"Because this is King Wu's mansion." Joanna replied, pointing to the plaque at the entrance to the main hall.

"I also went to see the triumph a few days ago. Think about it, where are you? She reminded: "Everyone knows that King Wu has a special status and can often meet with Baselius. Finding you will definitely make it easier to give feedback. ”

"That's mainly the face of Da Ming - it's my great-grandfather and grandfather who have a special status. My dad ...... Uh......" Zhu Wenkui was a little embarrassed and modest: "In short, those meetings are also purely ceremonial in nature, and it is not that my family has much power, or has any special right to speak." It's actually useless. ”

"That's enough." Joanna said: "This kind of meeting is not useful, it is not so simple. And if you think about it, the treatment of your family is enough to make many princes in the Mediterranean world blush. Most people don't have that opportunity yet. ”

"It's true." "But don't forget, there's a more direct way here. ”

The Roman Khan's court also did not refuse to interact with the people. During the previous triumphal ceremony, Barcelissa and Princess Theodora were in the square outside the arena, distributing steamed buns to the poor. ”

"And it's been more than once. I have heard that Princess Theodora has taken over a lot of the charity of the Khan's court. Some time ago, didn't she go to a few churches to donate money and listen to ordinary clergy and believers talk about their difficulties? ”

"It's just a daily show." Joanna disagreed: "It's useless to go over there and say, it's just to complain." ”

"That depends on what you say." Captain Jeska reminded: "I have heard that Princess Theodora and Guo Gongzi have a close relationship, and they are one of the real core figures in Rome, unlike us who can only make up for it. Wouldn't it be quicker and better for you to visit in the name of asking to see the princess, and then inform you of the matter? Why let us make a stop? ”

Joanna was speechless again for a moment. And little Jeanne next to her asked in surprise: "The girl who has left just now is the same?" ”

"That's right. I was also surprised that the girl was very good at the time, and she also had a horse, and she was not an ordinary person at first glance. If you have this kung fu to come to us, why don't you just find the princess and Taiji to move the rescuers? The reasons she gave me, I always felt too far-fetched. Captain Jaska said.

"Obviously, he is also Guo Gongzi's confidante." At this point, Zhu Wenkui has already figured it out: "I'm afraid, I don't want the princess to intervene in advance, so let's have a beauty to save the hero." ”

"But how can the military situation be delayed." Captain Jaska immediately asked a more pointed question: "If it is a confidante who cares for Guo Gongzi, then his situation should be taken seriously." Now, of course, the best military solution was to tell the princess that Barcelus was hosting a banquet for the triumphant soldiers outside the city, and that half of the legion of sergeants and veterans of meritorious service were outside. As long as he leads these people, he will go into the city to quell the chaos, and no small night will stop him. ”

"You see, if you really care about him, you should do it." He spread his hands and looked at Joanna.

"Alright, don't talk about it." Jeanne pushed him back into the car and said, "Look, our side has already been arranged." You just have to keep yourself busy. As for sending letters...... We've already delivered it, so we don't have to do it again. ”

And hearing this, little Jeanne can be considered to fully understand the situation.

"Wait a minute. The girl just now ......" she reacted: "She has already gone to move the rescuers?" ”

"She should already have a plan. We agreed with her, she went to organize the manpower, first to save people, we will keep this place first, and at the same time inform the Khanting. Zhu Wenkui told her: "Actually, it has been arranged a long time ago." ”

"Huh? Why don't you tell me! Jeanne Jr. was shocked.

"What to say. Can you still learn from Zhao Zilong, kill seven in and seven out, and fish him out? Zhu Wenkui went up and patted her: "Okay, now go back to the house and stay!" It's not safe out there at all, don't you see? ”

"Woo-" Little Jeanne pursed her lips and cried out unwillingly.

"No, we all miscalculated." Joanna reacted too. But she was quick thinking and quickly thought of a remedy.

"That's right. Your mother, Princess Jeanne of France, had a relationship with some city-states before. Many businessmen are also in contact with her. She said: "I don't know where she is now, and I guess it's too late to find her now." Can you come with me? As long as you come forward in the Chamber of Commerce, with this prestige, those who originally opposed it will also be shaken. ”

"It's too dangerous." Zhu Wenkui obviously didn't believe this person he had just met, and he objected directly without thinking about it: "You can ask her to write a letter to Princess Jeanne, or to other people in the Chamber of Commerce." But I'm sure I'm not going to let her out. ”

Joanna nodded smugly.
