There are not many decent cities in the entire Crimean Peninsula. After the Greeks, whether it was the Goths, the Huns, or the Khazars, they were all uncreative peoples, and thousands of years have passed, and the cities that still stand on the entire Crimean Peninsula are still the masterpieces of the Greeks!

Kersenyço [Sevastopol, the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in later generations], Kerch, Ilya and Yalta!

Among them, Kerch is far away on the Kerch Peninsula. It is a small peninsula jutting out in the eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula, bordered by the Sea of Azov to the north, the Black Sea to the south, and the Taman Peninsula across the Kerch Strait to the east, where the port of Kerch is the most important city.

Ilya is at the western end of the central plain of the peninsula, while Xeniso and Yalta are on the coastal strip at the southern foot of the Crimean Mountains at the southern tip of the peninsula.

The Byzantines did not really control the entire peninsula, at least not the current Byzantines. The resurgent Komnenos devoted more of their energies to the Seljuks in the east, as well as to their entanglements with the Hungarians and the Papal Crusaders. For the Crimean Peninsula, it is a completely "peaceful" gesture, and the pastures of the Bolgars have been reaching into the central part of the peninsula over the years.

Therefore, the Byzantines, who were completely defenseless, faced the sudden arrival of the Lu Qi army, and after a little hesitation in the three cities of Xseniso, Yalta, and Ilya, the citizens and soldiers in the city chose to surrender.

The reason why there is a 'slight hesitation' is because these places are ports, and at least the rich in the city should be given a chance to choose whether to go or stay, right?

In Byzantium, where the total population was only more than 10 million, their population in the Crimean Peninsula was less than 100,000. The greater role here was to link the Byzantines with the Rus'. You must know that the woolly bears in the icy and snowy land of Eastern Europe have been closely associated with barbarism and vulgarity since the Middle Ages in the eyes of Western European countries in the essence of monotheism.

The biggest reason why the current Rus' people were able to 'evolve' to be the woolly bears of later generations was because of Byzantium.

Later generations have known that the foundation of Orthodoxy lies in the woolly bear. But it is also important to understand that the reason why the woolly bear can hang a double-headed eagle is inherited from Byzantium. If Byzantium had always been a great power in the Balkans, rather than being wiped out by greenery, then the woolly bears would at least not consider themselves the successors of the Roman Empire.

In fact, after the baptism of the Rus', the economic and cultural exchanges between them and the Byzantine Empire were enriched. Even the princes of the Rus' were able to intervene in the decline of Byzantium. The Crimean Peninsula is obviously a very good point of communication between the two sides.

Therefore, it is not known how many forces the Byzantines will place on the Crimean Peninsula.

The Bulgars are the little brother of the Rus' people, and the Rus' people have an extremely close relationship with the Byzantines, so how big a pit is in the Byzantines' brains, how long does it rain on a rainy day, and how much water does it pour into it to use their precious power on the Crimean Peninsula?

John II, his father, Alexei I, all made the same choice – to ignore the Crimean Peninsula. So, the brothers Lu Chuan and Lu Yue earned it.

In September, when the Northland was already snowy, the brothers enjoyed a relaxing holiday in Xeniso and Yalta, which was as beautiful as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It made the other people in the ice and snow envious. Without even thinking about it, a group of people with soldiers swarmed in. Then a real problem was placed in front of their brothers, there was only one in the Crimean Peninsula, what should the other brothers do in the future?

Someone was still secretly laughing in their hearts before, Lu Yue tossed in the north with results, big results, and he was thrown to the front by the old man first. But looking at it now, this is deliberately giving benefits to the old eight.

Because Lu Yue's territory was the first to have an approximate location, so now that the eighth and third have joined forces to enter the Crimean Peninsula, he is at least half the master here.

In this case, the owners of the Crimean Peninsula inevitably have to choose from the oldest. And the third child is going back to fight for the dragon chair. The owner of the Crimean can only be the eighth child. Otherwise, Lu Yue is going to be looked down upon by the old man? Can you make the duck cooked in the mouth fly?

"The only way to get the sun is to go south. It was the territory of the Moldovans and Wallachians [later Romania]. Lu Yue did not spare the news in his hands at all, and some situations were not controlled by the Espionage Division.

"Both the Moldovans and the Wallachians are descendants of the earlier Dacians, and they are now controlled by the Archduke of Galicia and the Hungarians of Rus' respectively. The Moldovans were in the north, the Wallachians in the south, and from Wallachia further south were the Bulgarians, who were of the same ethnic group as the Bolgars. Now it belongs to the Byzantine forces. ”

That is, if they want to enter the territory of the Wallachians, they will touch the interests of the Hungarians, a powerful country in Eastern Europe. But if they did occupy Wallachia, the next step would be for the army to enter the northern part of Byzantium!

This would pose a major threat to the Byzantines, and the distinction between the one-sided war in Asia Minor and the subsequent two-front war is needless to say. Even after the output of the Black Sea shipyard in the following year, with the arrival of the naval soldiers, the land and qi naval forces starting from the Sea of Azov will be able to knock on the northern front of the entire Byzantine Empire through the Black Sea!

As for the Moldovans and the Grand Dukes of Gasia in Rus', they were completely forgotten.

Rus' people, hehe, after Shi Wengong arrives with the army, will there be a national power with this name in the world in the future?

Among the princes who came to the Black Sea, except for Lao Balu Yue's fate, everyone else had the hope of returning to the Central Plains to reign over the world, but they also knew that there was only one chair in the total of the group! Among them, only one of them is destined to return to Jinling in the Central Plains, and the rest of their lives are destined to be inseparable from Europe.

In this case, after they have experienced the cold of the ice and snow, will anyone still be indifferent to the 'sunbasking south'?

But......

The princes' eyes kept looking at each other, and one by one they flashed their hearts. Taking advantage of this war to make the cake bigger, their brothers' interests will be greater.

Since childhood, Lu Qian has cultivated a thought for them, don't eat alone, you are all brothers who are related by blood, and fathers must not want to see their children and grandchildren kill each other. Then let's make the cake bigger and stronger, only in this way can everyone eat their stomachs and not compete with each other!

Now, the princes and princes who have been cordially greeted by the cold climate north of the Sea of Azov have all made the same choice!

- Their goal is no longer just the Rus, but to take advantage of the opportunity to seize as much territory as possible and destroy as many forces as possible while leveling the Rus'!

After all, the Russian winter is too cold for the Chinese.
