Chapter 1024 Courage

"Impossible, Luo Weide, although you are the consul of the legion, but the affairs in the city are not up to you alone, come on, arrest this disloyal and unfilial, and eat inside and outside Luo Weide" The church nobles were furious, they heard about the city of Kiev, and the church in Kiev City was wiped out by the Orientals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe attitude of the Oriental people towards the church is also very fierce, others can surrender, but the church cannot surrender. With the roar of the church nobles, the church guards who came with the nobles rushed towards Luo Weidnov with a roar with a broadsword. The situation in the courtyard changed dramatically, and before everyone could react, Hudesky behind Lovednov rushed forward, shouted angrily, and rushed in from the outside a group of heavily armed guards, who were numerous, and soon surrounded the church personnel. Seeing that Luo Weidnov had already prepared, those church nobles all showed despair, and an old man who was over the age of old held a cane and cried with tears streaming down his face, "Luo Weide, you one, the church will be buried in the hands of you people, God will not forgive you, and you.... If you don't stop Lovednov, those Eastern cultists, they will take you to hell...."

Many of the noble commanders bowed their heads, the old priest's desolate voice still echoed, and Lovednov waved his hand gently. At this moment, there were no good people, no bad people, the Tao was not the same, the situation was compelling, and there was no time to convince these opponents, and the extraordinary times were very difficult, with the acquiescence of Luo Weide, the guards of the city lord's mansion launched a crazy massacre of those who resisted, including the church personnel, a total of fourteen nobles were killed, and hundreds of noble guards were killed or surrendered. On this day, known as the Day of the Destruction of the Church in Vladimir, the power of the Church has completely disappeared in Vladimir, and in the same way, Lovednov has been called a traitor by many Slavs. The bloodshed in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion changed the fate of many people, and Lovednov became a rebel who was spurned, while some of the city's nobles escaped a catastrophe, and many of these people who took advantage of the opportunity to raise prices and cause trouble were all exempted from punishment because of this incident.

Dealing with those opponents, looking at the corpses all over the house, Lovednov was not in a high mood, and if he could, he didn't want to do it, sacrificing these people in order to save more people. Vladimir's nobles were still trapped in the courtyard, and Lovednov just called a few trusted commanders to the house, so many things happened, the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion was depressing, as if everyone had a knife hanging over their heads, before the incident, no one thought that Lovidnov would be able to do it. The corpse was still outside, the smell of blood had not yet dissipated, and everyone was restless in their hearts, which of course Luo Weidenov could see, stretched out his hand to let everyone sit down, he sighed, this sigh was mixed with too much helplessness and desolation, "Are you also blaming me for being too ruthless?" ”

"I don't dare to wait, since the adults do this, there must be a reason for the adults" Where did the commander dare to admit bluntly, Luo Weidenov was not reluctant, his body seemed to collapse, and he collapsed in the chair, "You won't forget what happened last night, it's just a warning from the Orientals, they won't attack the city, they will only continue to torture us." It was only one night before there was a riot among the soldiers and civilians in the city, and if it continued, this ancient city would not be destroyed in the hands of the Orientals, but would also be destroyed in the hands of our own. The situation of the battle of the Suzdal River may not be clear to you, but there is no need for me to hide it from you now. Our men were defeated on the Suzdal River, the remnants of the army were wiped out on the way to Kiev, and the Grand Duke was killed by the chief of the guard on the way to the Caucasus. Vladimir City has become an isolated city, and we will not get the slightest support to defend it. At least, I think that the Grand Duke is gone, so there is no need to hold on, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Vladimir are innocent, this city has been built for dozens of generations and hundreds of years, and it should not be destroyed in our hands. So, surrender is the only option, of course, you have all followed me for many years, I will give you a chance to choose, you are different from those in the courtyard, no matter what you choose, I will not embarrass you. ”

Lovednov's face was heavy and his tone was sincere, just like his previous performance. He didn't lie, and he couldn't lie, these commanders had all their soldiers and horses, and if they killed them, who would control those soldiers? A few commanders, you look at me, I look at you, my heart is entangled, after a while, an older commander sighs and says, "Everything is according to your lordship's orders, as you say, we have no need to fight any further, and the moment we lose the battle of the Suzdal River, we have lost our chances of victory." ”

The people who can be commanders of thousands are all veterans of the battlefield, and the most basic situation can still be seen clearly, as soldiers, they have done everything that should be done. If you can't avoid the fate of failure, the only thing you can do is to reduce casualties. The Kipros Empire is the dream of the Grand Duke, not the dream of ordinary Slavic children, and living is the best result, as long as you live, the blood of the Slavic nation will not be broken. This decision was made somewhat too cruelly, and laying down the sword means living, and in the same way, it also means that Kiporos is no longer the Kiporos of the Slavs, and the Easterners will become the masters here, and the fate of the future is no longer in their own hands.

Looking at the several commanders under his command, Luo Weidenov nodded slightly, and tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, "Hey.... We are all sinners of Kipros, and may we have made the right choice today, at least, right now, and let people spread the word about the city. ”

At this moment, not only Luo Weidenov collapsed, but even several commanders hung their heads, their eyes full of tears. When the news reached the outside, many nobles hugged their heads and cried, no matter how difficult the situation was, there were always some people who could not let go of their national dignity. The city lord's palace began to order the soldiers in the battalion to abandon the city walls and enter the streets of the city to maintain order, a large number of soldiers joined, and the rebels were suppressed, and soon after, the iron gate of Vladimir's southern city gate slowly rose, and the four knights walked out of the city gate side by side. The banner symbolizing Kipros' supreme power fell to the ground, and at this moment the proud Slavs bowed their heads, and the horns whined, playing the saddest music in heaven and earth.

At the moment when the horn sounded, Xiao Zhiyun led the soldiers to the south gate, Gao Chong, Shi Wengong, Yelusha and others all looked admired, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, the Slavs really opened the city and surrendered. Looking at the several Slavic cavalry walking side by side, Xiao Zhiyun did not panic, and called Dongfang Jin over lightly, "Mr. Dongfang, let people prepare grain and grass, besiege the city for so long, if you don't solve the problem of eating, many incidents will arise in the blink of an eye." ”

"Everything is ready, as long as the Slavs put down their swords, we will immediately take over the defense of the city" As a dog-headed military division, Dongfang Jin did a very competent job, and with a look, Yerusha withdrew from the crowd and made preparations. After Xiao Zhiyun asked more than 1,000 guards to guard the southern city gate, Luo Weidenov led the nobles in the city to finally appear, and when he saw Xiao Zhiyun riding a horse, Luo Weidenov bowed and bowed to the ground, and the nobles behind him were all prostrate on the ground. Looking at Luo Weidenov in front of her, Xiao Zhiyun felt a lot of emotion, although she won, she had to admire Luo Weidenov. Turning over and dismounting, Xiao Zhiyun reached out and grabbed Luo Weidenov's shoulder, and with force in her hand, she helped him up, her eyes were full of smiles, showing admiration and respect, without the slightest contempt and mockery, "Lord Luo Weide, no matter what, Concubine Ben wants to thank you, because of your choice, you have saved tens of thousands of lives." You are not sorry for Kipros, you have proven your loyalty with practical actions. ”

Translated and repeated, feeling the eagerness in Xiao Zhiyun's eyes, Luo Weidenov felt a warm current in his heart, he didn't expect that he could still be respected at this point, "The criminal minister doesn't dare, and I hope that the princess can fulfill her promise and ensure the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city." ”

"But don't worry, as long as they don't get into trouble, Concubine Ben guarantees that they are safe and sound" Xiao Zhiyun nodded, Gao Zhong waved his hand, and several commanders stepped forward. A large number of soldiers of the Dingguo Army entered the city, and in the camp in the city, the Slavic soldiers were already lined up, and thanks to the confessions of the commanders, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army did not act excessively, and the task of receiving them went very smoothly. Two hours later, more than 20,000 soldiers belonging to the city of Vladimir laid down their arms and became prisoners. In accordance with the agreement, after the Dingguo army took over the defense, the grain and grass were transported into the city, and in the evening, a porridge shed was opened in the city to relieve the people, and no one made any more trouble when they had food.

Accompanied by Luo Weidenov, Xiao Zhiyun walked on the streets of the main city, with towering bluestone castles and wide streets. Vladimir is the oldest city in the Istrian Heights, and after dozens of generations of painstaking efforts, the construction of the city is much stronger than that of Kiev. If Vladimir were to be stormed, the Slavs would certainly be able to cause great trouble with the city's buildings. There is a huge bronze bell in front of the church, and the upper floor is beautifully engraved, and it would be a pity if this ancient city was destroyed in war. Lovednov made the right choice, and in the same way, allowed the city of civilization to continue.

The Dingguo Army opened a porridge shed according to the agreement to appease the people, which made Luo Weidenov feel a lot more relieved. He has always been worried that the Oriental people will turn their faces and refuse to admit their accounts, after all, if the city defense is taken over, it is the Oriental people who have the final say, and if others do not fulfill their promises, he will have nothing to do. In the evening, Xiao Zhiyun hosted a banquet for Luo Weidenov in the castle of the city lord's mansion, except for a few commanders, the rest of the generals in the army such as Gao Zhong, like those nobles in the city were not invited. Luo Weidenov frowned, he keenly felt that this banquet was not simple, halfway through the banquet, Xiao Zhiyun was surrounded by several guards, a noble palace dress, slowly walked to the banquet, Gao Zhong and others hurriedly got up and saluted. Xiao Zhiyun was in a good mood, and she looked even more noble and holy, and she had a kind of momentum in her gestures, "Tonight is just a private party, Concubine Ben just wants to thank you, it is precisely because of your efforts that Vladimir City has been spared a sword disaster." Therefore, you don't have to be restrained, after tonight, whether you are friend or foe, you will all be a subordinate under the regent, General Gao, General Yelu, don't you take the lead in getting to know your future colleagues? ”

Gao Pet pursed his lips, he didn't feel a taste in his heart, what is this called, he was beaten and bleeding before, but now he has become a colleague. Everyone is a soldier, each on the battlefield is their own master, but there are not too many dirty thoughts, under the deliberate friendship of Gao Zhong and others, those Slavic commanders gradually put their minds at ease, Xiao Zhiyun was relieved, and then talked to Luo Weidenov, "Lord Luo Weide, I think you also know that from Kipros to Siberia, this is a long distance, and the territory is vast. If this vast territory is all the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, now the Slavic people are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and these lands belong to all of us. The regent has long had a thought, since we are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, we must work together to defend this land. According to the regent's plan, half a month later, the army will be reorganized and the Kipros front will be built in an all-round way, and the children of the Great Song Dynasty and the Slavs will be integrated into one, regardless of you and me. This move was a bit sudden, and in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I hope that Lord Luo Weide can help with this. ”

Luo Weidenov was shocked in his heart, he did not expect that the Orientals would have such great courage, the army was reorganized, and a large number of Slavic children were integrated into the Eastern army, so they were not afraid of Slavic children making trouble? Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Lovednov was full of doubts, "What the princess means, the ministers understand, but if you do this, won't the princess be afraid that one day, the Slavic children will take the lead in the military and recapture Kipros?" ”

"Of course I'm worried, but the regent is confident enough to make the Slavic children submit, Lord Luo Weide, you said that we are fighting back and forth, and the ultimate goal is not to make the life of his people better? If you can give your people a good life, why do they make trouble, if one day they don't have enough food and clothing, not only the Slavic children, but anyone who wants to live will make trouble, don't you think that's the truth? Xiao Zhiyun's seemingly plain words, but a word woke up the dreamer, Luo Weidenov half-opened his mouth, stayed for a long time, and then took a sip of wine with a wry smile. What a simple truth, what does the rebellion have to do with who rules Kipros? The people are just for clothes and food, and when they can't survive, they naturally commit rebellion, even if it is not the Orientals but the Slavic nobility who rule Kipros, and they do not rebel? Those so-called dignity are really a bit ridiculous.

"What the princess said, the ministers are deeply admired, the problem of army reorganization should not be big, but should the ministers also stay in the army?" After Luo Weide asked, Xiao Zhiyun had already dealt with it, so she did not delay, and put a letter of appointment in front of Luo Weidenov, "With Lord Luo Weide's ability, there is naturally no need to stay in the army, the regent ordered you to go to Kiev City later, serve as the royal senator, and assist the regent in managing the civil affairs of Kipros." ”

"This...."Lovednov didn't know what to say for a while, managing the civil affairs of Kipros, and the regent was not afraid to lure the wolf into the house? (To be continued.) )
