Whether there was an unexpected surprise or not, Nokikafu and others didn't know, but after seeing Sam, everyone still felt relaxed. Sam has a fat head, big ears, and a double chin. The fat trembles when he walks. This appearance is cute but a little festive. It is really unexpected that such a fat person is a traveling businessman. It has been a long time since I came to Kypros, and Yelusea still knows some of the local conditions. Not only Kypros, but also the entire Western countries do not have a unified currency, and the currencies circulating in each country are very different. In many places, information is blocked and they are still within the scope of the lord system. Therefore, commodity trade is all barter, and currency only exists in Among nobles, therefore, for traveling merchants, every time transporting goods is a long journey, full of difficulties and obstacles. Traveling businessmen like Sam are among the most ordinary. It is a miracle that they can maintain such a wealthy state despite being exposed to the wind, rain, dew, and scorching sun all day long. Sam was feeling uneasy. At this time, he had thrown God aside, and God had never favored him. In the past few days, bad luck has continued. He was dragged from the red pine forest to the Ryazan River by the Germans. He finally survived the battlefield, but was caught red-handed by the Orientals again. Fortunately, he could speak a few simple words in Chinese, otherwise he would have been treated as a German prisoner and beheaded on the spot. It had been two days, and Sam hadn't been able to sleep a wink. He was lying in the grass depression and witnessed this unprecedented battle with his own eyes. A collision of all cavalry was simply unheard of. Similarly, Sam also saw the power of the Eastern cavalry. The Germans were arrogant for a long time, and then collapsed under the counterattack of the Easterners. Sam was really a little scared. Because the military tent was completely destroyed and the temporary broken tent was leaking from all directions, Sam himself was very scared. When the bleak autumn wind blew, his whole body shivered. Seeing Sam's appearance, Yelusha smiled bitterly and shook his head. Alas, although the Song Dynasty has entered Kypros for a long time, to most Westerners, the Song Empire is still a scourge. Looking at Nokikafu, Yelusha curled his lips, as if to say, do I look so scary? Nokikafu could understand Sam. When he saw the Eastern army for the first time, Nokikafu was also frightened and his face turned pale. No matter how you say the Easterners, they all have yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. They feel so strange to each other. It¡¯s so deep that it¡¯s hard not to be afraid. "You know the Highland language, right? You said you are from Mu Island. I have a question for you. What is the current situation on Mu Mu Island? How is the construction of the Dufeng Bridge on the island?" Nokikafu handed it to you. Sam had a kind smile. He looked like a peaceful college wise man, not a tiger general leading an army. Nokikaf gave people a sense of intimacy, and with the same Western characteristics, Sam felt much less fearful. The questions he asked may seem simple, but in fact they have hidden secrets. The purpose is to test whether this fat man is a real Mud Island person. But it is impossible for a Swede to not understand Mud Island, because Swedes transport goods. It is 100% necessary to take the water route through Mu Island. Sam didn't think too much and replied respectfully, "To tell you what, the situation on Mud Island is very good. When I left Hylaren a few months ago, the pier on the island was still being expanded. Dufeng Bridge, "I haven't heard of it, sir. Where did you hear it?" Sam didn't think that Nokikafu was testing him, so he didn't hide it at all. Nokikafu had been observing the expression on Sam's face, even though it looked like He was still a little nervous, but he didn't hesitate much when he answered, which meant that Sam wasn't lying. After confirming Sam's identity, Nokikafu felt a lot more relieved. As long as he wasn't a German spy, there wouldn't be much of a problem. After confirming that Sam had no problem, Yelusha waved to Sam to stand up and reply. In fact, what Yelusha was most concerned about so far was how the Germans came to the Ryazan River. "Your name is Sam, right? I want to ask you a few questions. I must Answer truthfully, since you were traveling with the Germans along the way, do you know how these people passed through the red pine forest? As far as we know, the soil near the red pine forest is soft, like a swamp. Although the water level drops in autumn, the soil becomes harder. It is impossible to allow a cavalry to pass by. "I am really afraid of what will happen. The last thing Sam wants to say is this secret, not that he intends to make a fortune through this road. Sam is not a fool. The Germans were able to pass through the red pine forest silently. He, a Swede, took the greatest credit. It can be said that because he pointed out this road, it directly led to the unprecedented tragic situation encountered by the Orientals on the Ryazan River. If the truth is told , Sam felt that he would be chopped into pieces. Absolutely not, Sam lowered his head, his fat face was wrinkled, his head was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. As soon as Sam hesitated, Yelusha and others took note of it. Ren Feo held the saber hard, pulled it out suddenly, and made a cold voice, "What, you still don't tell the truth? Fatty, listen carefully, you You only have one chance, go to your God without telling the truth¡±. Ren Feol was already rugged, but once his ferocious face showed up, he looked like a wild beast, and Sam almost fell to the ground. At this time, even if Sam was given ten courages, he would not dare to tell lies.?, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "My lords, you don't know. In fact, there is a road through the red pine forest that can be passed directly. This road was discovered by our family accidentally when we went to do business in Eastern Rome. But lord, , You must think about the villain. I was forced to tell the Germans about this road. I didn¡¯t mean to harm you.¡± As Fatty Sam explained the ins and outs of the red pine forest incident, Yelusha¡¯s face changed. Becoming ferocious and terrifying, mixed with deep reluctance, he, Yelusha, dominated the world and conquered Tiefu Tu, but in the end, this inconspicuous fat man was deceived. Thinking about it now, those brothers died unjustly. Just because of a few words from the fat man, thousands of people lost their lives. Sometimes small people can really play a big role. According to the temper of the former general in the Liao Kingdom, this fat man who cheated others had been taken out and chopped up. But now Yelusha is much more mature. Although he is unwilling to do so, he does not implicate Sam. Many things are destined by God. Maybe keeping Fatty around will be of great use in the future. I can't help but think of the Matuwu captured during the attack on Ukhta City. If these people are used well, they may be able to compete with thousands of troops. During this period, Yelusha heard a lot of truths from Xiao Zhiyun and Dongfang Jin. His Highness had an unprecedented plan in his mind, which was to open up the east and west and form a passage across the east and west. If the navy of the Chinese army enters the North Sea, it will be followed by the Danes in the future. There must be a battle. Keeping Matuwu is because of Matuwu's status as a member of the Viking fleet. The same goes for Sam. Maybe he can use him to get many unexpected gains. "Come here, take this fat man down first." Sam didn't dare to argue, it was good to be alive. Ren Fe and others showed strange expressions, and Nokikafu was very puzzled. "This fat man sent thousands of our soldiers to the mouths of the Germans with just one sentence. The hatred in his heart cannot be relieved without killing him. Why didn't the general move?" Is he just being detained? " Sometimes Nokikafu is very confused as to whether the Orientals are cruel or kind. Sometimes they are murderous, and sometimes they are very kind. "Sam is just a small character. Although he gave the road to the Germans, it was also to survive. He just happened to be in the right situation. If he vents his anger on others randomly, he will be looked down upon. Keep this person. Useful. Isn't he from some wooden island? His Highness is planning the Baltic Sea plan recently. He may be needed, so he will be kept for now. Although we don't have much baggage, we still have a lot to eat like him." Yelusha did not elaborate. He said that even he was not clear about many things. The Baltic Plan was only put on the table a month ago, and only Luo Weidenov, Xiao Fei, Dongfang Jin and others knew the specific strategy. Nokikafu is a smart man. Although Yelusha didn¡¯t say much, he still heard something different from it. The Baltic Sea Plan, while everyone was still focusing on the western part of the Istrian Highlands, the Kiev City Base Camp had already extended its vision to the Baltic Sea. From the beginning, the Kiev City did not take the German attack seriously. Some people take one step and see one step, and some people take one step and see ten steps. The difference in vision and strategic vision directly leads to the difference in thinking. Kiev seems to be cautious, but in fact it is taking every step and laying a solid foundation for future actions. No wonder the garrison in the direction of Yelinburg withdrew so simply. This was to paralyze the Danes and affect their judgment. If the Danes think that the Kiev base camp is focusing all its energy on competing with the Germans for the Istrian Highlands, then they will not think about the security of the Baltic Sea. If they want to enter the Baltic Sea, they cannot avoid the Swedes. Link after link. It¡¯s really getting more and more interesting. Nokikav is very curious about what the base camp in Kiev City thinks. The Baltic Sea, the Germans, the Danish Kingdom, and the Swedes are a big chess game, and the Kiev base camp is this chess game. flag bearer. The battle on the Ryazan River has come to an end, Yelusha's troops have safely withdrawn to the city of Vilnius, and Xiao Zhiyun's troops have not been hindered at all. The Germans gathered a heavy force and easily captured the city of Pusk. At least on the surface, the Germans successfully captured the city of Pusk, forming a strategic containment effect. From then on, the Germans occupied a strong city in the western part of the Istria Highlands, which meant a full-scale invasion of the Istria Highlands by Germanic forces. After hearing the news, many Slavs panicked. They believed that the city of Kiev had failed, and only if it failed would they abandon the strong city of Pusk. The Slavic people are so eager for peace. They are tired of the war and have finally calmed down. The Germans are coming again. When will there be good times? The Yelinburg area is too far away from the Ryazan River, and it was already nine days before the news reached Fayuna's ears. During these days, Fayuna and his Danish soldiers lived a very prosperous life. There were ownerless grains everywhere waiting to be harvested. In just half a month, the Kingdom of Denmark made a lot of money. Hearing that the Germans had captured the city of Pusk, the Danish nobles headed by Kasimotu began to prepare for action again, "Your Highness, the Germans have now captured the city of Pusk and can enter at any time."??Kiev City, should we also fight a dozen times south? If we continue to stand still, we will not have an advantage when it comes to distributing benefits in the future. " Fayuna looked at these Danish nobles with a headache. These people are really too short-sighted. The battle for the Istria Highlands has just started, and the final ownership is not yet known. It is stupid to rush to attack now. . But these nobles have been blinded by the immediate interests. Fayuna took a breath and said slowly, "The Germans have taken the city of Pusk, but I want to ask you a few questions about the Kachivel River. And do you really understand the situation in Pusk? How on earth was the city of Pusk defeated? How were the injuries on both sides before and after? Have you done this to understand? Fayuna directly asked several Danish nobles a series of questions. Quasimotu thought for a while and said at an even pace, "We have also read the battle report on the Istria Highlands in detail." There were several large and small battles on the Eastern side, in which more than 6,000 people were injured, and the Germans lost more than 7,000 people. However, considering that the Germans wanted to attack the city, this loss was acceptable. Fayuna secretly felt contempt for it. It was just the casualty figures on the surface. This was considered to be an understanding of the battle report. It was really ridiculous. He didn¡¯t want to offend Quasimotu, but to convince these greedy nobles, he could only After teaching these people a lesson, Fayuna slowly stood up and took a pamphlet from the table behind him, "What Master Kasimotu said is not wrong, the apparent damage is indeed the case. The losses on both sides were roughly equal, but the Germans took away the city of Pusk. In this way, the Germans still won one game. But my thoughts are different from yours. Here are the details of the two battles on the Kachivel River and Pusk. You may not know that the Battle of Pusk never happened at all. The so-called Battle of Pusk took place on the Ryazan River. When the Germans attacked Pusk, the Easterners sent all their cavalry to the Ryazan River for reinforcements and then voluntarily abandoned them. The city of Pusk. In other words, the offensive and defensive battle of Pusk City does not exist in a strict sense. You may not understand it yet, so I will explain it to you in detail. In the two battles of the Kachivel River and the Ryazan River, the Easterners lost more than 4,000 infantry and less than 2,000 cavalry, but the Germans lost all cavalry, including 2,000 blue shield cavalry and Holy Cross Knights. The regiment lost more than a thousand men, and the Red Robe Knights lost more than half. There is another news, although it has not been confirmed, but I think it is very credible. The real loss of the elites of the Easterners is less than 3,000. Most of these elites were lost in the battle of the Ryazan River. After hearing these words, do you still think that the Orientals have failed? More than 6,000 people and less than 2,000 cavalry cost the lives of more than 7,000 German cavalry. If this is called victory, what is defeat? " "This" the room was silent for a moment, and the Danish nobles all looked horrified. They were shocked by Fayuna's words, but from a numerical analysis, both sides would suffer losses, but from a quality point of view, the Germans were much more miserable. More. Fayuna had no intention of stopping. He threw the book in his hand in front of everyone and continued, "Although I don't understand the intention of the Easterners to abandon Pusk City, the things hidden in it are definitely not that simple. If the Germans occupy the city of Pusk, they may not really be able to hold it. If we can capture the city of Kiev, then it makes sense to capture the city of Psk. But if we can't move the city of Kiev, how about occupying the city of Psk to enjoy the scenery? Therefore, it is too early to say who will win and who will lose. I have something to tell you today. Please remember that if people survive and the earth loses, both people and the earth will survive. If people lose their land, they will survive, and both people and land will be lost. What determines the ownership of the Istria Highlands is not the gain or loss of a city or a land, but who has more power in their hands. Whoever can make good use of the power in their hands can completely control the Istria Highlands. At least, from the current point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Germans has been greatly reduced, and the Easterners have not been greatly affected. As long as you have enough strength, you can take back what you lost. On the contrary, if you don't have enough strength, even if you are given ten cities, can you hold it? " Fayuna's words have lingered in my ears for a long time. Some of the truths are like a heavy hammer, directly changing the way of thinking of some Danish nobles. Quasimotu is not a fool. He can sit in the city of Kalmar and deal with the major forces. He is a smooth person and has a clear mind. Fayuna's words sound a bit like raising others' ambitions, but if you think about it carefully, there is some truth in it. The Easterners fought from Siberia to Kiev, and now they have swallowed up Kipros. On a higher level, in terms of hard power, the Easterners were much stronger, so how could they give the city of Pusk to the Germans in vain? In fact, the Easterners did not try their best to defend the city of Pusk, although they sent all their cavalry. Ryazan River, but with the strength that the Orientals have shown before, relying on the strong city of Pusk, they may not be unable to fight. Kasimotu is a person who can afford to let go. Now that he has figured out the reason, there is no need to provoke the law. Yun Na was unhappy. Seeing that the idea of ??inciting troops to send troops could not be realized, Kasimotu immediately stood up and saluted the nobles, "Everyone heard clearly what the prince said. It seems that the Easterners are afraid.What are we planning? There is no need for us to wade into these muddy waters. Let¡¯s leave it to the Germans. " In fact, most of the Danish nobles have given up the idea of ??attacking Rogda Hills. After all, no matter how good the money is, it can't be done without lives. Soon Quasimotu and others evacuated the castle one after another, and Fayun was embarrassed. The look on his face was a bit uncertain. Kasimotu was becoming more and more dishonest. In fact, Fayuna knew very well what Kasimotu was thinking. This guy was very ambitious and unwilling to stay in Kalma City. , now the Kingdom of Denmark is using troops against Yelinburg, but its attitude is not firm. Kasimo wants to do so many things in the hope that the Kingdom of Denmark will have a deadly feud with the Eastern Empire and start a full-scale war. In this case, the city of Kalmar will become the capital of Yelinburg. In the rear, the status will be more stable. The Kasimotu family will naturally rise and raise thieves. This is the truth. It is not known whether others will lose or gain in a war with the Eastern Empire, but the Kasimotu family will definitely make enough. It's enough. The consequences of a full-scale confrontation with the Eastern Empire are unpredictable. If it could really defeat the Eastern Empire, it would have used troops against Kypros. Well, once the war started, if it couldn't defeat the Eastern Empire, the Danish Kingdom would definitely retreat. , when the time comes, the Kasimotu family will change their direction and worship, and they will become the pawns of the Eastern people. They hope that the Kasimotu family will remain loyal to the Kingdom of Denmark unless the sun rises in the west.
