When the huge war machine is about to start, preparations in all aspects are indispensable. Resources from all aspects are being sent to Kalma City one after another, and ships like the wooden island are sailing towards Kalma City. Recently, a fat man named Sam has risen rapidly on Mud Island. This heir to a declining family and his quick tactics have taken over 80% of the liquor business on Mud Island, especially the food that the Swedes urgently need. Sam can also easily Get it. Sam has risen rapidly, and the wealth he has accumulated has made people extremely jealous. Although the Lance family was once noble, it has declined after all. Watching Sam become rich, too many people are tempted. One-third of the people near Hylaron The family had bad intentions towards Sam, who was active on Mud Island, but before they could take action, Sam dropped an explosive news. He was appointed by the Emperor of the East as the Eastern Empire's official and merchant stationed on Mud Island. As soon as this news was released, the whole of Hylaron was shocked. Who doesn't know the name of the Eastern Emperor? In less than a year, the powerful Eastern Empire put the once prosperous Kypros within its territory. The tyrannical Holy Roman Empire was also beaten to the point of losing its temper. Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world and offend? What about the wrath of the Eastern Empire? There may be some people who doubt the authenticity of the news, but a group of Eastern Guards standing outside Sam's Castle dispelled everyone's doubts. Whether the Eastern Empire is interested in the Baltic Sea or not, the Swedes in Hylaron don't care at all. What they care about is the huge commercial interests. Doing business with the Eastern Empire has only advantages and no disadvantages. And I heard that the Eastern Empire is building an Imperial Highway that runs from east to west. Who doesn¡¯t want to get a share of the pie? As a result, Sam became the most dazzling force on Mud Island at an incredible speed, and the Eastern Guards around him became the most powerful protective umbrella. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The regent was so courteous. If he did nothing, wouldn't he be unworthy of the regent's favor? It has been almost a month since I returned to Mud Island. I have spent so much money and material resources, but I still haven't gotten any useful information. On this day, Sam came to the pier to inspect as usual. He watched the wooden boats sailing out to sea one after another. He couldn't help but frowned. It was really strange. Ships were going out to sea more and more frequently recently. After all, Sam's rise was too short, his foundation was insufficient, and the power he could control was limited to Wooden Island. Once he left Wooden Island, his eyesight was completely dark. Maybe the great nobles of Hylaron know something about the situation, but after all, Sam is not a real noble and cannot participate in those noble games. "What is going on? Have you asked anyone?" "Sir Sam" , I have already asked, most of them are going to the city of Kalmar. The specific reason is still unknown." The attendant simply said, Sam touched his red nose, stopped and thought hard, the city of Kalmar seemed This is the territory of the Kasimotu family. How could we need so much supplies? Even with the appetite of the Kasimotu family, we cannot swallow such a large amount of goods. Something must have happened. Could it be that the Danes are finally going to deal with it? The Swedes took action? While he was wondering, a servant found Sam in a panic and said, "Lord Sam, Prince Scotto wants to see you and is already waiting at the castle!" Sam was delighted when he heard this. Just when he couldn't figure it out, someone hit him. Give me a pillow if you feel sleepy. Prince Scotto is the third son of King Chris. I heard that the king loves this third prince very much, and he is a strong contender for the future king's heir. If there is any news in the kingdom, then Prince Scotto must be First to know. As for Scotto's purpose, Sam could roughly guess it. It seemed that the reputation he had built up during this period had finally taken effect. Scotto probably saw his financial resources and background. Sam quickly returned to the castle. In the hall, a man dressed in red palace aristocratic clothing bowed and saluted. This handsome man with long silver hair was the third prince Scotto. Sam quickly returned the salute, " I didn¡¯t know that the third prince was coming, so he was far away.¡± ¡°Why are you doing this? I¡¯ve wanted to see you for a long time. It just so happened that the Elders Council had just obtained a warrant, so I accepted this task.¡± Scotto said in a kind voice. He looked friendly, but Sam didn't dare to make too much of a fuss. Instead, he stood aside very respectfully. As expected, Scotto came for a good thing today. Sam¡¯s financial resources and background meant that the Swedish royal family could not ignore him. In order to make Sam a good friend, Chris discussed with the Council of Elders and decided to grant Sam the status of earl and Edom. The noble status of the Earl of the island manages the entire wooden island. Sam was not surprised at all. Just because the Emperor of the East was standing behind him, he couldn't help but that the Kingdom of Sweden didn't take him seriously. After bowing and thanking him, Sam started chatting with Scotto and inadvertently mentioned what happened on the island, "Your Highness, recently Merchant ships on the island are carrying goods more and more frequently, and they are all heading towards the city of Kalmar. Are there any recent moves by the Danes to attack us at Hylaren? " "Don't worry, Earl Sam, the Danes are indeed here? Kalmar City has assembled a large amount of supplies, but it is not for us.?The Norwegians came. The news received from the Council of Elders seems to be that the Danish royal family has passed a certain resolution, which seems to be preparations for rushing to the aid of Prince Fayunna." Scotto did not hide it from Sam, and the reason why he said these words was also to sell out. Well, anyway, having a good relationship with the Easterners will only benefit you and not bring you any harm. In fact, it is 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 being considered a kingdom. The real kingdom is just an organization formed by the nobles of Hylaron to fight against the Danish royal family for the sake of collective commercial interests. In fact, Hylaron is still in disarray. If the Easterners come to the Baltic Sea, the nobles of Hylaron will not object. , Anyway, as long as it doesn¡¯t affect trade, everyone can make money and live a good life, that¡¯s better than anything else. Although Scotto didn¡¯t say it clearly, Sam still clearly felt the meaning of his words, and gathered supplies in Kalmar City. It is to support Fayuna. Doesn't that mean that the Danes will make big moves against Kypros in the near future? Sam thinks this news is very important. Scotto's intention of making good friends with the Eastern Empire has been achieved, and he has also established a relationship with Sam. He wisely said goodbye and left. As soon as Scotto left, Sam immediately wrote a letter. To be on the safe side, he copied two letters and sent several people to take different routes to send this letter to Kiev. As long as one letter is sent to the city of Kiev, it will be of great help. Sam prays that nothing will happen. This is the first thing he does after surrendering to the regent, but for Sam, nothing will happen. The days are like a year, but as a newly promoted earl and a new nobleman of Hylaron, he must participate in various occasions. Sam is anxious and can only endure it. It can be said that the Kingdom of Denmark is doing its best for this huge military operation. Hidden, 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 gift from Sam. After reading the letter, my mood became extremely bad, "This Fayunna is really difficult to deal with. He has stored supplies in Kalma City and can send them to the front line of Yelinburg in a short time. He is not easy to be attacked." People discovered that we could easily be transported to the front line. This arrangement was really clever. If Sam hadn't paid attention, we would have been deceived by the Danes. Orders were sent to Rogda to garrison troops, and spies were sent out to pay close attention to the border situation. " "The Danes are about to launch a large-scale attack on the Rogda Hills. The garrison near Janmar must move closer to the west as soon as possible, and sister Hai Dongzhu must deliver a message. In addition, we have to speed up our 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 after all." Xiao Zhiyun paced with a solemn expression. The battlefield situation is ever-changing. It has been like this since ancient times, but this time it changed. It came so suddenly. It seemed that the loss of Germanic troops and horses reminded Fayuna. However, it is not easy to wipe out the Germanic people active in the Istrian highlands. Youdao is a centipede. Although this group of Germans did not have enough attacks, they would still be difficult to deal with if they defended the fortified city. Due to the seriousness of the matter, it didn't take long for Dongfang Jin, Luo Weidnov, Yang Zaixing and others to be summoned to the manor castle. Hearing 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 surprise. Lovidnov asked with some confusion, "Your Highness , Our plan can be said to have no flaws, and the Rogda Hills garrison has always been adhering to the procrastination tactic. According to legend, the old fox Yunna should not be able to find anything. " "According to common sense, this should be the case, but it is precisely because there is no flaw that it is a flaw. We are still a little impatient. In the battle of Vilnius, we annihilated a large number of Germans and directly let Fayuna see our strength. . Fayunna is not an idiot. 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 heading towards the Baltic Sea. However, things are not as bad as they seem. The Danes have to mobilize troops within the kingdom, and the journey is far away. From a time perspective, we still have an advantage. As long as we can completely wipe out the active forces before the main Danish army reaches Yelinburg. The Germans in the Istrian highlands, the Danes will definitely retreat in spite of the 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 the strong city and defended it to the end. Three cities are also three strong bones. Dongfang Jin frowned and thought, and soon a light flashed in his eyes that looked a little cloudy, "Your Highness, I have a clever plan, but this plan is too harmful to Tianhe. Let¡¯s see if His Highness dares to use it and if he has the courage! " "A high official? How long has it been, and you are still cheating on me? When have I ever been afraid of something happening? As long as your strategy works, I will not dare to do anything. Tell me, and let everyone listen to your clever plan." Zhao Yougong's mouth was crooked. Oh, if someone hadn't been there, the truth would have kicked Dongfang Jin in the butt. How many years have passed since the officialHis temperament has not changed at all, and he only shows off and learns wisdom 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 right in front of me. 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 reallyShe is an out-and-out ruthless person, a woman who single-handedly established the Yishi Army and has been leading troops in wars all year round. How can she not 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 unite the eastern nobles and the northern nobles to put pressure on each other. Can the Franks alone be able to withstand this pressure? "
