    Pfft, now no one even has the strength to open their mouths. The Dongfang official's thinking is 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 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.  In the meantime, the Kingdom of Lorraine is not a country with strong 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 major forces.  On one side are the northern white grape aristocrats headed by Royce and others, and on the other are the southern red grape aristocrats headed by the Weiting family. The northern and southern aristocrats have become friendly with us. Royce and others have already made friends.  To persuade the family to turn to us, the key reason why King Matai'er has not expressed his stance lies in the Weiting family. The nobles of the southern red vineyard seem to be still hesitant. Their subordinates learned from Royce that the Weiting family.  Patriarch 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, and because of Claire's existence, we are interested in getting involved.  Scotland and England are destined not to go together 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 Louis.  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,  If 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 didn't say everything in full, but the rest can be understood after a little thought.  Come.  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.  With action, Lothair's so-called army was left with 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 completed in less than half an hour.?If a person doesn¡¯t see it with his own eyes, who would believe 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 in Kiev was no better than in Vilnius and other places. Many people were reluctant to part with the execution of the evacuation plan. However, Lovidnov personally came forward 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?"  ?¡± ¡°I just received reliable news that the Easterners have withdrawn from Kiev in large numbers and are all moving towards the Suzdal River.¡± Lothair¡¯s face was sullen and expressionless. After hearing this, Sugs and others were stunned.  Then everyone burst out laughing. Baisier touched his ears and grinned, "Do the Orientals really think we are fools? From Pusk City to Vilnius City, we have jumped into the same trap three times in a row.  , are we stupid enough to jump for the fourth time? Your Majesty, there must be a fraud in this matter. It is estimated that this action is to attract us to go out of the city to attack Kiev, so that the Easterners can deploy their army to fight us in the wild. " " Baisier.  What he said won everyone's approval, and it was true. In the city of Pusk, the Orientals began to use the method of exchanging cities for troops. However, the German warriors were fooled three times in a row, although it was because the Orientals' plan was too perfect.  .  But this time, I can't be fooled even if I'm beaten to death. So what if I can't see through the strategy of the Easterners? As long as I stand still, what can the Easterners do if they have the ability to storm a fortified city?  Su Ges snorted bitterly, "Your Majesty, the Easterners must be playing some tricks again. We can't clearly see each other's situation now, so it's better to stay the same and adapt to changes. If we don't move, nothing will happen."  "Flaws." Dongfang Jin, Zhao Yougong and others really didn't expect that they had given up Kiev City, but Lothair and others did not dare to move. They had used Kiev City as bait to catch fish three times before, and they had gained a lot each time.  Feng, nothing was done this time, and the Germans did not dare to move.  It has to be said that the Germans were really afraid of suffering losses before. They were afraid that it would lead to the tragedy of Vilnius again, losing 50,000 troops for a fortified city. What if the entire army was annihilated for the city of Kiev?  In fact, Lothair was so cautious for other reasons. He racked his brains to request reinforcements. So far, only the Saxon reinforcements have arrived, and the others have not yet arrived.  In fact, Lothair knew in his heart that other reinforcements were a bit difficult.  Just as Lothair thought, there were also undercurrents surging in the Holy Roman Empire at this time. Four days ago, the Danube nobles attacked the southern part of the Alemannic Kingdom, revealing their ambition to compete for the Hohenzollern. Dorle responded calmly and attacked  Salzburg used a method to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and only then could Schwein's troops be held back.  Just at this time, Lothair's letter asking for help arrived. Looking at the content of Lothair's letter, Dorle felt bad. Many of the tens of thousands of soldiers killed in the battle belonged to the eastern nobles.  However, it is impossible for Dorle to send any more reinforcements. Now the war in the Istria Highlands has become a quagmire. So much energy and financial resources have been invested, but no benefits have been gained so far.  More importantly, it was impossible to give up the vested interests of the eastern nobility for the sake of the Istrian Highlands. Doing so would only benefit the Danube nobility headed by Schwein.  Implementing the same ideas as Wein and Doerle, the energy now devoted to the Istrian highlands hasThe Danube nobles have reached the limit they can bear. If they send more troops, they will harm the vital interests of the nobles. Even if Schwein agrees to send troops, it will be useless. Other Danube nobles will not agree. Just the Schwein family sends troops.  What's the use?  Therefore, Doerle and Schwein, who were in the middle of a fight, once again chose a united front in a tacit understanding. Neither of them took a stand, neither said they would send troops nor said they would not send troops. In short, they were dragging their feet.  In order to make people speechless, the two sides also started a battle in the southern part of Burgundy. The battle was fierce, but it was only thunder and no rain, because at this time Schwein and Doerle were sitting in the Saarland.  They were drinking in a small castle in the west of the castle. No one could tell that these two people were fighting to the death over the Alemanni territory.  Both of them were smart people. From the moment Lothair's letter asking for help arrived, they knew it was time to give up the confrontation. Facing the outside world, they could only unite the front.  The two understand each other well and are both enemies and good friends.  "Your Excellency Dorle, it seems that the war in the Istrian Highlands is getting worse and worse. At this time, I am wondering whether we were right to support Lothair in launching the Istrian war." Schweindi  Once he had doubts about his judgment. In the past, he always felt that occupying the Istria Highlands would bring endless benefits, but now he discovered that even possessing the Istria Highlands might not really bring much benefit.  In the final analysis, it is because the Istria Highlands is too vast. The current Holy Empire cannot digest this land in a short time. Moreover, there are many internal contradictions in the empire, and it has to face the provocation of the Eastern Roman Empire. It is really  Impatient.  Dorle took a sip of his wine, with a hint of gloominess in his wise eyes, "I'm afraid our Istria strategy was wrong. Perhaps what we should have really thought about at the beginning should have been the Caucasus. We underestimated the Orientals too much.  Well, the power contained in this huge eastern empire is beyond our understanding. With such a long front from the east to the west, their supplies were not cut off, and they even started to recruit the Slavs from the local area. We dared to move at that time.  In the Istrian Highlands, it seems that the Easterners have just occupied Kypros and have an unstable foothold. Now it seems that everything is just an appearance." "Yes, if we had not initiated the Istrian Highlands war, the Principality of Saxony would have been under pressure.  It will be great, but at least this benefit will remain in the hands of the Holy Empire. Now, it may not be the case. Alas, in troubled times, the attitude of the vineyard owners in northern Lorraine towards Easterners is very ambiguous. The Wei Ting family in the south is still here.  I didn't agree to Louis' request for marriage. After thinking about it, it was all because of the Highland War. If we didn't start the Highland War, nothing would happen. It's better now. There are problems everywhere. I originally wanted to have a good fight with you. Look.  Let's see who can occupy the Hohenzollern in the end." Schwein shook his head with regret, and Dorle was not the same. It is also a wonderful thing to meet an equally matched opponent in life.  During the days of fighting with Schwein, I also learned a lot. The "Forbearance" formula practiced by Schwein is really profound. To do anything, you must be patient. If you are impatient and impetuous, you can see it everywhere.  loopholes.  Dorle nodded slightly. No one can predict the next step. They can only take one step at a time. Now they can no longer estimate Saxony's interests. All they can do is to preserve the existing interests as much as possible.  At this time, in the Caucasus Mountains, Warfrey was also receiving a distinguished guest. This guest was named Junko, who was the envoy sent to the Caucasus by the Frederick family.  Ronke has been in the Caucasus for more than ten days. Wolfrey still looks hesitant, which makes Ronke almost unbearable. "Sir Wolfrey, the conditions offered by Lord Dorle are already very serious."  It¡¯s rich. I believe it will only bring benefits to Lord Wolfrey. Lord Wolfrey only needs to send troops to the north to contain some of the Easterners¡¯ troops.¡± Wolfrey secretly cursed in his heart, ¡°I¡¯m going to contain you, you big-headed devil.¡±  The regent can mobilize troops and horses to fortify the northern Caucasus at any time, which is equivalent to hanging a knife over the head of the Caucasus.  Nowadays, the Caucasian people have finally lived a stable life. No one wants to fight. After being kicked in the head by a donkey, they ran out to fight with the Kypros garrison.  Besides, he has surrendered to the regent. How can he lead the Caucasian army and people once he goes back on his words?  Junke didn't know, but Wolfrey knew very well that many Caucasus nobles were now in a relationship with the Kiev base camp. Once Wolfrey had any objections, he would probably be killed by his own people before he even left the Caucasus.  I really wanted to kill Ronke with one knife, but the regent had an order to drag the Frederick family envoy as much as possible, so even if I was unhappy, I could only pretend to be with Ronke.  "This is not easy. Your Excellency Rongke, you have been in the Caucasus for a long time. I think you have some understanding of the situation in the Caucasus. You have seen how short of food there is in the Caucasus. Your Excellency Dorle sent 100,000 gold coins.  , It's very good, but it's not worth it." When Wolfrey spoke, he felt like his tooth hurt. It was not easy to find such an excuse.  If Rong Ke sent food, then he could only useMoney is the reason. Anyway, I can delay it as long as I can.  Rong Ke's face turned red with anger. If he hadn't been good at self-restraint, he would have cursed loudly. When he collected the money, he didn't see any dissatisfaction from Wolfrey. Now after receiving the money, he said he was short of food. This is a typical case of greed. "  Lord Wolfrey is wrong. If you have enough gold coins, are you still worried about not being able to buy food? If Lord Wolfrey allows it, I would like to introduce a merchant from Constantinople who will definitely be able to buy enough food.  " "Well, if we have a good relationship, please trouble Mr. Rongke. As long as we buy food, I will send troops immediately without delay." Wolfrey laughed in his heart, Rongke is such an idiot.  The regent is still very capable, and he can do business with nothing, no matter how much money or food he has, he can eat as much as he wants.  Ronke didn't know that Wolfrey had so many evil ideas in his mind. He thought he had persuaded Wolfrey, and he felt really relaxed.  Jonko tried his best to urge Warfrey to send troops, but he never dreamed that just as he was trying, a large number of Kipros garrison had arrived near the Kachivel River.  Armies from all walks of life converged on the Kachivel River, and the Germans stationed in the city of Mesuda were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.  If an army of nearly 100,000 people really wants to besiege the city of Mesuda, what will be the result?
