"Don't worry, Count Sam. The Danes have indeed gathered a large amount of supplies in the city of Kalmar, but they are not coming for us and the Norwegians. The news I received from the Council of Elders seems to be that the Danish royal family passed a certain resolution. It seems to be preparations for rushing to the aid of Prince Fayunna." Scotto did not hide it from Sam. The reason why he said these words was to make a good impression. Anyway, establishing a good relationship with the Easterners would only benefit him and not harm him. In fact, it's not surprising that Scotto has this idea. Although the Kingdom of Sweden today is called a kingdom and has its own king, it is actually far from a real kingdom. This is just a matter of the nobles of Hylaron for collective business interests. It's just an organization formed spontaneously to fight against the Danish royal family. In fact, fundamentally, Hylaron is still in disarray. If the Easterners came to the Baltic Sea, the Hylaron nobles would not object. Anyway, as long as it does not affect trade, everyone can make money and live a good life, it is better than anything else. Although Scotto did not say it clearly, Sam still clearly felt the meaning of the words. The supplies gathered in Kalmar City were to support Fayuna. Doesn't that mean that the Danes will make big moves against Kipros in the near future? Sam thought this news was very important. Scotto's intention of making good friends with the Eastern Empire had been achieved, and he had established a relationship with Sam, so he wisely said goodbye. As soon as Scotto left, Sam immediately revised a letter. To be on the safe side, he copied two letters and sent several people to Kiev via different routes. Sam was afraid that something unexpected would happen. As long as one letter was delivered to Kiev, it would have a big effect. Sam prayed that nothing would happen. This was the first thing he did after surrendering to the Regent, so he must not make any mistakes. For Sam, the days of waiting are like passing years, but as a newly promoted earl and a new noble of Hylaron, he must participate in various occasions. Sam is anxious and can only endure it. The Kingdom of Denmark tried its best to hide this huge military operation, but there are always clues to be found in large-scale military operations. Although the soldiers and horses are hidden, the materials in Kalmar City cannot be deceived. More than ten days later, Zhao Yougong, who was far away in the Gerginets Manor, finally received the letter from Sam. Looking at the content of the letter, his mood became extremely bad, "This Fayuna is indeed difficult to deal with. In Kalma Supplies are stored in the city and can be sent to the front line of Yelinburg in a short time. They are not easily discovered and can be easily transferred to the front line. This arrangement is really clever. If Sam hadn't paid attention, we would have been deceived by the Danes. "The Danes are going to launch a large-scale attack on the Rogda Hills. The garrison near Janmar must move closer to the west as soon as possible. Sister Haidongzhu." We have to send a message over there. In addition, we have to speed up the pace to deal with the Germans. Although we are not afraid, facing the Danes and Germans at the same time will not do us any good." Xiao Zhiyun paced with a solemn expression. The battlefield situation was ever-changing. This has been the case since ancient times, but this time the change came too suddenly. It seems that the previous loss of German troops and horses reminded Fayuna. However, it is not that easy to wipe out the Germans who are active in the Istrian highlands. There is a saying that the centipede is dead but not stiff. Although this group of Germans does not have enough offense, it is still difficult to deal with them if they insist on defending the fortified city. of. Due to the seriousness of the matter, it didn't take long for Dongfang Jin, Luo Weidenov, Yang Zaixing and others to be called to the manor castle. When they heard that the Danes had begun to gather heavy troops to attack Rogda Hills, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Dongfang Jin and Lovidnov looked at each other with a look of surprise. Lovidnov asked with some doubts, "Your Highness, our plan can be said to be flawless. The Rogda Hills garrison has also been adhering to the procrastination tactic. According to the saying, That old fox Yunner shouldn't have found anything. " "According to common sense, it should be like this, but it is precisely because there is no flaw that it is a flaw. We are still a little impatient. We will annihilate a large number of Germans in the battle of Vilnius. Fayunna directly saw our strength. Fayunna is not a fool. He probably saw that we were planning to eat the Principality of Saxony. Based on Fayunna's wisdom, it was not difficult to guess that our series of actions were aimed at us. Going to the Baltic Sea. However, things are not as bad as they seem. The Danes have to mobilize troops in the kingdom, and the journey is long. In terms of time, we still have an advantage, as long as we can reach Yelinburg before the main Danish army. , completely wipe out the Germans active in the Istrian highlands, then the Danes will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties." Zhao Yougong's words hit the nail on the head, but it is also not easy to do this. Just as Xiao Zhiyun thought, the Germans relied on Fortified city, if you defend three cities, you have three strong bones. Dongfang Jin frowned in thought, and soon a glimmer of light flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes, "Your Highness, I do have a clever plan, but this plan is too harmful to Tianhe. It depends on whether Your Highness dares to use it or not. Do you have that?" You have so much courage!" "Official, how long have you been trying to get along with me? When have I ever been afraid of something happening? As long as your strategy works, I won't dare to do anything. Tell me, and let everyone do well. Let¡¯s hear your clever idea¡±?Yougong's mouth was crooked. If someone hadn't been there, the truth would have kicked Dongfang Jin in the butt. After so many years, the temperament of the high official has not changed at all. He only learns wisdom by showing off from time to time. Looking at the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Dongfang Jin smiled awkwardly, stretched out his index finger, and gently tapped the city of Kiev, "Since His Highness can send Vilnius and other cities out, why can't he send out the city of Kiev? We are now The reason why we are somewhat passive is that the city of Kiev is too important, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it requires too much energy. What if we don't defend the city of Kiev? Let's simply evacuate the city and only use a small number of troops. Defend the Suzdal River. In addition, the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army are assembled. Nearly 80,000 troops march directly into Lothair's home base, Suplin Castle. Doesn't he want the city of Kiev? We will give it to him, but we have to. By giving us the Principality of Saxony, it seems that we have lost money, but in fact we have not lost anything. On the contrary, we have gained money. Not only we have cut off the Germanic rear and baggage, we can also control other principalities other than Saxony. Put pressure on. "Abandon Kiev? If Dongfang Jin hadn't always left a deep impression on people with his clever tricks, most people would have thrown Dongfang Jin into a frying pan and fried him. It was simply crazy. Kiev City is the holy land of Kipros and Zhao Yougong's palace. If he abandons Kiev City, the regent will be shameless. With the withdrawal of Pharmacy, all the hundreds of thousands of Kipros garrison will lose their face. However, I have to admit that Dongfang Jin's method is really effective. At least it will no longer involve too much energy. Yang Zaixing swallowed his saliva and said with some tangle, "Mr. Dongfang, even if we are all shameless, we will give up on our own initiative." To defend the city of Kiev, even if we capture the Principality of Saxony, how can we deal with the many German soldiers remaining in the Istrian Highlands? Although their baggage is cut off, the baggage on the Istrian Highlands alone is enough for them to hold on. It has been several months, but the goal of annihilating them quickly has still not been achieved." After hearing Yang Zaixing's inquiry, Luo Weidenov and others all nodded. Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun looked at each other and did not speak in a hurry. The two of them are most familiar with Dongfang Jin and know the official's character very well. Giving up the city of Kiev may be considered unethical and bold at best, but it is far from damaging to the peace of the world. Therefore, there is probably a series of things behind the official. Damage move. As expected, Dongfang Jin smiled faintly and continued, "Here's why this plan hurts Tianhe. After we take over the Principality of Saxony, we only need one move to drive a large number of people from the Principality of Saxony to East. On the highlands, another message was released. Whoever surrenders the German soldiers in the Istrian highlands can take their families home for a hot meal, otherwise they will watch their families freeze to death on the highlands. "His, a bunch of people. Everyone gasped, and when they looked at Dongfang Jin again, their eyes changed. Damn, it was really too damaging. No wonder he was called Youshang Tianhe. This was simply inhumane, and he was following a third-rate path. Zhao Yougong smacked his lips in embarrassment. He had rarely done this kind of thing in recent years. He didn't expect to be instigated by a high-ranking official to become a human trafficker again. Unexpectedly, the official hadn't finished speaking yet. Looking at the cold eyes of everyone, he didn't even blink, "This is just an appetizer. Didn't we let go of a group of red-top knights before?" , and the noble Royce, it¡¯s time to use their relationship to send someone to invite Royce and the Lorraine nobles, saying that God is kind and does not want to see more Lorraine warriors die without mercy. Let's take them all home in this meaningful war. As soon as these people come, will the soldiers from the Kingdom of Lorraine still be in the mood to fight? Of course, the last move, which is the most critical move, is to marry Lorraine. "Kingdom." "Pfft, now everyone has no strength to even open their mouths. The Dongfang official's thoughts are completely jumping. How come he is talking about marriage? Or marrying with the Kingdom of Lorraine, where does this make sense? Even though Zhao Yougong was usually very witty, he was a little confused. He pointed at himself with some uncertainty, "Official, are you asking me to marry you?" "Ahem, Your Highness, you are handsome and handsome. Yushu Linfeng is a well-known handsome man in our Song Dynasty, and with such a noble status, of course I want you to get married. My subordinates really want to go, but because they are really ugly, they don¡¯t want to be ugly. In fact, " Dongfang Jin wanted to say more, but suddenly felt two substantial eyes. When he saw Xiao Zhiyun's eyes as cold as cold knives, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but shudder. Xiao Zhiyun was really going crazy. One Ke Lai'er was unclear enough, and now Dongfang Jin wanted Zhao Yougong to get married. He'd be damned if he felt better. Xiao Zhiyun is not a jealous person, but she also has a bottom line. Isn't it just the Lorraine Kingdom? Is it worthy of His Highness Zhao's sacrifice? With so many Western women around me, how should I explain to Zhu Lian after returning to the Song Dynasty? Dongfang Jin closed his mouth, but Xiao Zhiyun was not going to let him go like this, "Mr. Dongfang, keep talking, if you don't tell me something, hey, Sanniang, prepare your knife." Dongfang Jin secretly cursed his mistake and patronized I was using my words, but I forgot that Concubine Xiao was thereIn front of you. Facing the eldest lady Zhu Lian, she was not so afraid. No matter how powerful the eldest lady was, she was still a gentle person, but Concubine Xiao was really a ruthless person. The woman who single-handedly established the Yishi Army and led the troops to fight all the year round, was uneasy. How can I be ruthless? Dongfang Jin knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he would definitely not get any favors. "Concubine Xiao, calm down, my subordinates really care about my hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Lorraine Kingdom is in a very special position, sandwiched between the Eastern Nobles and the Frankish Kingdom. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Lorraine is not a country with a strong desire for expansion. They are only interested in business. My subordinates have learned from many sources that although the Kingdom of Lorraine is under the rule of King Mattai, it is actually divided into two. The powerful ones are the northern white grape aristocrats headed by Royce and others, and the southern red grape aristocrats headed by the Weiting family. The northern and southern aristocrats are on good terms with us, Royce and others. People have already persuaded the family to turn to us. The key reason why King Matai'er has not expressed his position lies in the Wei Ting family. The nobles of the southern red vineyard seem to be still hesitant. The subordinates learned from Royce that Wei Ting. The patriarch of the Ting family, Hornan, has a daughter named Marina, who is attracted by Fatty Louis and intends to welcome her into the Frankish Palace and become the new Frankish Queen. Everyone knows the relationship between the Frankish Kingdom and us. Because of Claire's existence, we have another chance. If you want to get involved in Scotland and England, you are destined to not get along with the Franks. It is precisely because of this that the southern Weiting family hesitates. However, judging from the fact that they did not directly reject our overtures, they do not completely trust Lewis. Well, in this case, why don't Your Highness intervene. It's also a marriage. As long as the Wei Ting family is not a fool, they know how to choose. Facing the powerful eastern nobles, they will definitely choose to marry us if they continue to marry Louis. For marriage, we join forces with the eastern nobles and the northern nobles to put pressure on each other. Can the Franks alone be able to withstand this pressure? " Dongfang Jin did not say the words completely, but the rest can be solved by just thinking about it. I can't understand. If the red grape aristocrats in the south and the white grape aristocrats in the north all fell to the Song Dynasty, Namatai'er would have only one choice. He could not go against the two major forces in the kingdom, otherwise he would be the king. Another great benefit of marrying the Kingdom of Lorraine is to put pressure on the Kingdom of Austrasia and the Kingdom of Bavaria, headed by the eastern nobles. Faced with such strong pressure, the eastern nobles will decisively give up their Saxon interests in order to maintain If one's own side has vested interests, Lothair will also be given up. No one will take unworthy risks for the benefits that cannot be obtained. The eastern nobles withdrew from the battlefield of Istria, and the Danube nobles and blacksmith nobles could only follow closely. In this way, the German army active in the Istrian highlands would fall apart and fall apart. I am afraid there will be no need to decide by then. When ** took action, Lothair's so-called army had only one breath left. How many German soldiers were truly loyal to Lothair and willing to fight to the end for him? After going through Dongfang Jin's plan from beginning to end, I have to marvel at Dongfang Jin's power. He gave up everything, pulled and beat, and broke people's hearts. He first used the Saxon people to destroy the morale of the original Saxon soldiers, and then used marriage to completely win the war. The Kingdom of Lorraine was an ally, and the Kingdom of Lorraine was used to check and balance the Franks, and then cooperated with the Song soldiers stationed in the Principality of Saxony to threaten the nobles of eastern Germany. The eastern nobles and Danube nobles who feel the pressure will inevitably choose to abandon the Principality of Saxony and preserve their capital for their own interests. The entire plan can be said to be interlocking and very detailed, mobilizing all resources. Luo Weidenov and others all looked at Dongfang Jin in disbelief. Such a complicated plan was actually thought up by one person in less than half an hour. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed it? How could there be such a genius in the world? It really goes with that sentence, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a dedicated person, any problem can be easily solved as long as you find the right method. At this time, even Xiao Zhiyun couldn't say anything. Even if she felt very unhappy, she still couldn't stop this marriage. Political marriages were often helpless. Zhao Yougong never expressed his position, and no one urged him. Only fools would urge him at this time. It was obvious that His Highness was waiting for Concubine Xiao's attitude. After a long time, Xiao Zhiyun sighed slightly, "The evacuation plan will begin tomorrow. The armies near Vladimir gathered to the west of the Suzdal River. Shi Wengong's troops withdrew from the northern Caucasus and joined Gao Chong's troops. The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were stationed outside the Suzdal River, and the rest of the troops moved to the west. "Move, in four days, all armies must gather along the Kaqiweier River." Xiao Zhiyun's issuing of this military order is tantamount to tacitly agreeing to a marriage, but with her proud temper, it is obviously not very appropriate to directly agree. willing. After the general march plan was issued, Xiao Zhiyun did not forget to give Dongfang Jin a cold look, as if to say, "We'll see." Dongfang Jin scratched his head in frustration. This time he had offended Concubine Xiao, but it was all his fault. He was too impatient for not saying hello to Concubine Xiao for such a big matter. The evacuation of Kiev cityHowever, unlike Vilnius and other places, many people were reluctant to part with the implementation of the evacuation plan. However, Lovidnov came forward in person and just said "Those who stay will die", so no one dared to make trouble. The most pity is that the free trade zone is under construction. It is just halfway through and now it has to be stopped. The huge retreat plan could not be hidden from everyone's eyes, let alone the German spies. In fact, there were many ruffians bribed by the Germans in Kiev, and these people immediately spread the news to Lothair. The city of Kiev was retreating, and Lothair's head was filled with questions. If he hadn't confirmed it repeatedly, he would have doubted the authenticity of the news. No matter how he heard the news, it seemed like it was just a joke to fool a fool. Lothair couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to call in Baisier, Sugus, Yorkelen and others. Sugus and others were still puzzled, "Your Majesty, why are you coming to us in such a hurry?" ?¡±
