    In other words, a person who is about to starve to death will definitely eat Guanyin soil even if he sees it. Even if he knows that eating too much of it is fatal, it is still better than starving to death.

    Of course, the current situation in Western Qin is not such that Bai Zhou would take poisonous bait. Moreover, Bai Zhou did not believe that Wolfgang would dare to give him such a strong drug.

    "The reason is that the Burgundians came to attack Switzerland; the purpose is to drive away the Burgundians." Wolfgang's eyes revealed a kind of confidence, as if what he was about to face was not more than 70,000 Burgundian soldiers, but  Just 70,000 lambs ready for slaughter.

    Although this look can make ordinary people feel confident, and can also make companions and allies feel that he is a stable backer, the problem is that this is not what Bai Zhou is asking!

    ¡°Obviously, Wolfgang was pretending to be confused.  At this time, people in Europe definitely didn¡¯t know what Tai Chi was, but His Highness the Third Prince did it beautifully and captured the essence of tact.

    Bai Zhou had his own concerns, or he felt that there was no need to explain some things too clearly, but His Highness the Third Prince avoided the truth and gave an answer that was considered impeccable "reason" and "purpose".

    Because the Burgundians invaded Switzerland, I will help you fight them off!

    The reason and purpose are clear, but these words are like boiled water. At a glance, they are both the most useful thing and the most useless thing.

    "Are you sure this is your final answer?" Bai Zhou asked casually, as if he was not dissatisfied with Wolfgang's answer just now, and was just asking again as a routine.

    "Why, do you have any other questions, or do you think I have other purposes?"

    It seemed that Wolfgang had made up his mind not to tell Bai Zhou his true thoughts about coming here. He always used a very calm tone and a cold look to make others take notice of his demeanor.  It is difficult to catch any clues in the tone.

    After all, Wolfgang¡¯s trip will definitely not be just to help Western Qin resist Burgundy.  Bai Zhou understands that Wolfgang has other reasons, but what Bai Zhou doesn't understand is that now is actually the most appropriate time to spread out everything. At the very least, nothing will happen when we cooperate with each other later.  It feels awkward, just treat the reinforcements of the Holy Roman Empire as a bargaining chip in a business, but why is Wolfgang just not prepared to tell the truth?

    Especially since Frank was ¡°supported¡± before, and he did not hesitate to use methods that may lead to internal conflicts.

    Could it be that the youngest son of Frederick I was really a willful prince with a negative political IQ who only acted according to his personal preferences?

    Bai Zhou didn¡¯t believe it for the first time, or in other words, this was simply impossible to happen. From the few conversations just now and previous exchanges, it was not difficult to find that Wolfgang still had considerable abilities.  To take a step back, even if this is indeed the case, there will always be some confidants of a prince, such as the former leader of the Teutonic Knights that Frank said, would he be willing to follow an idiot?

    Obviously this is impossible. After all, for a knightly order, especially the Teutonic Knights, which is famous in the Holy Roman Empire and even in the whole of Europe, even the king cannot force her leader to do something excessive.  matter.

    "No, I believe you. In this case, if I have something else to do, I won't entertain you. By the way, someone will inform you during lunch. After the meal, we will discuss the military strategy for dealing with the Burgundians this time.  We need to discuss it." Bai Zhou turned to Mi Chuan and said, "Come, help me arrange a few guests."

    Bai Zhou doesn't have time to play Tai Chi Push Hands with this wealthy and idle man now. "Guessing" activities have never been what Bai Zhou is good at. Now that Wolfgang is unwilling to tell, Bai Zhou also feels that there is no need to ask the ugly Yin Mao.  Come.  Furthermore, Bai Zhou really doesn¡¯t have much free time now. Archduke John and his troops will approach Belfort and Basel in just a few days. Xi Qin needs to organize its armed forces immediately, although most of these things are  The lieutenant came to take charge of it, but this time, the lieutenant personally led 5,000 newly recruited militiamen to reinforce Basel. Bai Zhou wanted to see what kind of situation they were in, even though he knew that he would not hold too much of these militiamen.  Hope, but after looking at it, I feel confident.  What's more, the thing that Wei Fu mentioned in his mind also made Bai Zhou very curious.

    In Bai Zhou¡¯s mind, what Weifu brought this time was probably some bee-crossbows.  It is actually hard to imagine the power that this kind of medium- and long-range "mass destruction" weapons can exert once used in groups.  When there were only six of them, its performance under the city of Basel was already shocking. The six bees-ballistas mounted on modified tanks were simply six killing machines, especially in the plains.  Coupled with the mobility and impact of the carriage, it is definitely?Tanks and Katyushas in the Age of Weapons.

    ¡°Once the number of such tanks and bee-crossbows is no longer in single digits, with specific terrain and tactics, I believe it will not be a problem to defeat at least Archduke John¡¯s thousands of troops.

    If the number of chariots exceeds one hundred this time, then Baizhou will have to consider whether to no longer rely on Belfort and Basel for defense, but to directly pull the troops out of Belfort and attack the plains in the hinterland of Burgundy.  Why are his flowers so red?

    Of course, Bai Zhou also knew that this could only exist in his imagination. The production of chariots must rely on the strength of the entire Western Qin Dynasty to increase its production, but this kind of chariot has very high requirements on the combat environment.  There is no need for Western Qin to do this with the chariot troops.

    "Hello, Lord Duke? Lord Duke!" Wolfgang's voice began to get louder.

    "Huh? What's the matter." Bai Zhou looked and saw that Wolfgang did not obey his previous arrangement and go back to rest first, but continued to stand here, looking at Bai Zhou.

    Bai Zhou also knew that it was a bit rude for him to be distracted before this guest left, but he was a little confused, did this Wolfgang have anything else to say?  And it still has to be said now.

    "I want to meet Joan of Arc." Wolfgang's expression remained unchanged, as if it was a natural thing for him to meet Joan of Arc.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the old society and the Three Years of Difficulty Period, poor people often relied on eating Guanyin soil to survive during lean years or famine years. This soil can satisfy hunger, but it cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body. After eating, it will cause abdominal distension and difficulty in defecation. Eating a small amount is not fatal;  Although you won't go hungry, you will still die due to lack of nutrition.
