Chapter 1022 Meaningless Resistance

In the beautiful manor, the flowers are full of flowers, the scenery is beautiful, and a pergola is built next to the pool, and Zhao Yougong is half-lying on the cushion, tasting grape wine. The city of Kiev has settled down www.biquge.info and Xiao Zhiyun's idle days have come to an end, leading people to Vladimir. Although there are Gao Zhong and Shi Wengong on the periphery of Vladimir, it is not enough. In contrast, it is better for Xiao Zhiyun to sit on the battlefield of Vladimir, which is not only safe, but also a kind of cherishment. Whether it is Zhao Yougong or Xiao Zhiyun, in fact, they all have an idea, that is, if they can not fight, they will not fight, and it is better to take Vladimir peacefully, this is an ancient city, which is farther away than Kiev. Xiao Zhiyun and others have already regarded Vladimir as their own bag, and if they destroy the city, they will still feel sorry for themselves, after all, rebuilding Vladimir is a huge expense, and this consumption can be saved. What's more, now that Vyache has been killed, there is still a lot of hope for persuading Lovednov to surrender.

Xiao Zhiyun went to Vladimir to be busy, but His Royal Highness Zhao's life was relaxed and comfortable, Sanniang was dressed in a thin white light veil, and she was a little lazy and smelling the fragrance of flowers. There were no others around, his cold face was a little more feminine, and his jade hand teased the fruit plate next to him, "Official, you have a lot of ideas, and I don't know how you came up with it, you can even think of selling land, and the mouse area, which was too lazy to look at it, has actually become a fragrant dumpling." ”

"What's so strange about that? The world is more profit-seeking, and those Kiev nobles are all smart people, once the trade zone is established, it is impossible for them to lose sight of the future value of the trade zone. Sanniang, you don't touch the things here on weekdays, if the teacher or Yulou is here, they will definitely try their best to persuade the king not to sell the land" Zhao Yougong was in a good mood, and when he relaxed, he was willing to say more. Sanniang listened very carefully, she didn't leave the left and right on weekdays, she didn't know anything about business, seeing Zhao Yougong's vow, a little distressed, and asked suspiciously, "What is the reason, can't you sell it yet?" ”

"Ha" Zhao Yougong pursed his lips, tilted his body, and reached out to touch Sanniang's warm cheek, "Anyway, it's okay left and right, I'll teach you another lesson, official." In Bianliang City, every inch of land on both sides of Bianhe Street is expensive, you should know this, and it is not surprising that it is priceless and marketable. The reason why the land price there is so expensive is not because of the bustling commercial street, the more prosperous, the more flocking to it. There is a special record in Kaifeng Mansion that the place where the Fang Building is located fifty years ago is worth five hundred taels of gold, and now that lot, let alone five hundred taels of gold, is ten thousand taels of gold, and people don't sell it. What if you have money, even if you take out 100,000 taels of gold, people just won't sell it, what can you do, this is priceless. Therefore, the business area of the rat area is also a truth, as long as the news of the construction of the business zone is not fake, at this time to get a piece of land in the rat area, no matter how much money is spent, it is a sure deal. ”

After Zhao Yougong's explanation, Sanniang, a person who is not good at business, also understood, and his expression became colorful, and he thought that those Kiev nobles were a little stupid, but now that he thinks about it, people are not stupid at all, "According to what the officials say, the land in the mouse area will continue to appreciate, these Kiev nobles, no wonder they rushed to buy land, this is simply buying a hen that will lay golden eggs, and if you get a piece of land in the mouse area, future generations will be of infinite use." ”

Sanniang suddenly felt a little lost, Zhao Yougong couldn't see it, hugged Sanniang, and said with a wry smile, "Who said it wasn't?" If it weren't for the urgent need for money, food and materials in their hands, why should they be in a hurry to sell the land, there was no way to do it. ”

Although some unwilling, but everything is worth it, the Kiev nobles enthusiastically donated money and materials, not only to solve the problem of feeding the poor in the mouse area, but also to further enrich the baggage of the Dingguo army. On the side of Heather Farm, Cao Yuan personally escorted grain, grass, cattle and sheep over, and the people of the farm saw countless cattle and sheep and a large amount of grain, and the joy in their hearts was self-evident. This practice quickly won the support of ordinary people, and in at least a dozen villages near Heather Farm, the people thoroughly implemented the decisions of the city of Kiev and began to suppress those church members, saying that they would no longer be fooled by the church. Pity those church members, many of them were beaten up before they could figure out what was going on, not to mention how wronged they were.

Things in the rat area have gradually calmed down, and just when Zhao Yougong thought that the city of Kyiv would be fine, an uninvited guest came to Kyiv. Yang Zaixing returned to Kiev after clearing more than a dozen lords in the west and took on the burden of being the commander of the guards, he also knew that Zhao Yougong had been tired for a long time, and it was rare to have a little leisure, so there was nothing important, and he would not disturb Zhao Yougong to recuperate. Walking through the white marble column, Yang Zaixing was in a hurry, Zhao Yougong was accompanying Sanniang to give Claire a lesson, seeing Yang Zaixing's hurried appearance, he got up and teased, "Shao Lie, why are you in such a hurry, won't there be another Kiev nobleman looking for you to kiss?" ”

When Zhao Yougong said this, even Sanniang's cold temperament couldn't help but roll his eyes. Yang Zaixing was stunned when he heard this, his face suddenly turned red, these days, I don't know what evil the Kiev nobles have fallen into, and they always ask people to talk about matchmaking. In the end, he was forced to have no choice, and tied up a nobleman and whipped more than 20 whips, and this farce came to an end. Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by his colleagues in the army, but as soon as he entered the door today, he heard His Highness talk again, "Your Highness, didn't we say that we would not mention this matter again?" The last general has something important, and Qi Wenhan, who has just been defending the west, sent a message that the duke of the Chechen Kingdom of Kiporos Caucasus has asked to see His Royal Highness. ”

"What? Duke of Kipros? Isn't Viache dead? Zhao Yougong couldn't help frowning, but he was quickly relieved, and it was estimated that someone had taken Viache's place. Not to mention, this guy is really smart, he just said the Duke of Chechnya in the Caucasus, but not the Grand Duke of Kipros, which is a disguised attitude, "Who is it?" It wasn't like Vyache came back from the dead and crawled out of the coffin. ”

Yang Zaixing's eyes were embarrassed, and he opened his mouth without smiling, "How is this possible?" Someone came to report his name, saying that it was Wofrey, the chief of the Golden Light Guard of Viache, who had now been detained by Qi Wenhan, and whether His Highness wanted to see him or not. If His Highness felt that it was unnecessary, the last general would order Qi Wenhan to send this guy away. ”

Yang Zaixing's battlefield murderer has never had a good impression of the people around Viache, so he spoke more fiercely. Zhao Yougong touched his chin and thought about it, only then did he remember who Wofrey was, isn't this the commander of the most powerful guard regiment in the Principality of Turov, I heard that he has a very personal relationship with Vyache and is loyal, why is it that now that Vyache has just died, this hardcore party has run to Kyiv City to show goodwill? Soon, Zhao Yougong figured out the joints, and his fingers tapped on the armrests of the chair, making a slight thumping sound, like people's heartbeats, "Understood, if this king is right, Viache should have died in the hands of Wofrey." If it's really a person, you can't look good, the sea can't fight, people are guests from afar, let him in. This king has the heart to see what kind of character this Wofrey is. ”

Wofrey can be the chief of the Golden Light Guard for more than ten years, and it is by no means a waste of fame, but he has real skills. On the way to Kyiv, Wofrey was a little nervous, he was afraid that the plan would fail and he would be thrown in Kyiv. Hearing that the regent of the East agreed to summon him, he was in a much better mood, and walked along the central street to the familiar Teginets manor, and was full of emotion for a while, the manor was still so grand and beautiful, but the owner was not the original owner. At the beginning, as the chief of the golden light guard, he was also a figure who called for wind and rain. Now, he can only be cautious, for fear that he will make some mistake and his head will be cut off by the guards. On the bluestone road in front of the castle, there were burly soldiers of the Ruifeng Battalion on both sides, some of whom were holding two-handed axes with fierce eyes, staring at Wofrey walking towards the castle step by step. Although Wofrey is the chief of the Golden Light Guard, he knows very well that he really doesn't have such a great ability to step through so many people.

Looking at Wofrey standing in the hall, Wofrey was so cramped and uneasy that he didn't even dare to raise his eyes. Zhao Yougong breathed a long sigh of relief, touched the back of his head and asked slowly, "You are Wofrey?" The Grand Duke Viache was also killed by your own hands, right? I didn't expect that an unkind and unrighteous person like you could come to the city of Kyiv alive, so you are not afraid that this king will kill you?? ”

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but if the regent insists on saying that the little one is disloyal and unjust, it will be completely slanderous," Wofrey gathered his mood and tried to calm himself, "The little one once persuaded Viache to return to the Caucasus, and from then on put away his great ambitions. But Vyache just didn't listen, he had to take revenge on Kyiv at all costs, there was no way, for the sake of stability in the Caucasus, I could only send him away. Since it is impossible to do anything, it is not worth it to accept your fate, and to bury the lives of the Slavic people in vain. ”

"Oh, so much has happened, so why do you have to come to Kyiv?" Half-convinced of Wofrey's words, Zhao Yougong has suffered too much loss, and it is difficult to be careful, Wofrey thought about it, and said with some hesitation, "I have heard about the recent changes in the city of Kiev, His Royal Highness the Regent also intends to suppress the church, and no longer exterminate the Slavic people, I think, since the regent has no intention of getting involved in the Caucasus, and our people are also unwilling to go to war with the people in the north again, we will not affect each other." The regent can rest assured that as long as the regent promises to sell us a part of the grain and no longer oppress the Caucasus, I will lead the Slavs to defend the Caucasus for the regent. ”

"You don't have to act in front of this king, this king really has no interest in the Caucasus, and we will make a verbal agreement that there will be no problem in mutual non-aggression and to strengthen trade. But there is one point, what about the Germanic people? And what about alliances? Zhao Yougong saw the cattleness between Kipros and the Germans clearly, Wofrey hurriedly waved his hand, and said anxiously, "The previous agreement was an alliance strategy formulated by the Grand Duke of Viache himself, but now that I think about it, Viache is dead, the previous agreement, we don't recognize these things at all, the Germans want to go through the vast jungle to take revenge on us, in the Caucasus, we are not afraid of the Germans." As long as Wofrey is alive for a day, he will defend the Caucasus to the death. ”

It is better to say than to sing, but in fact they are all forced, not to do business with the north, just relying on the harsh environment of the Caucasus, every year without being beaten by others, and many people can starve to death just by starving. On the contrary, an alliance with the Germanic or Eastern Romans would not have reaped these benefits. Of course, Zhao Yougong won't believe Wofrey's nonsense, but it doesn't mean that it can't be used, since Wofrey has prestige, it shouldn't be difficult for him to lead the affairs of the Caucasus, "Okay, this king believes you for the time being, but you remember, if you dare to be half-hearted, your end will not be much better." If the Germans are still courting you, you'd better report it quickly. As for the specific business situation, someone will come to you later. ”

"Thank you, Regent" Wofrey could not hide his joy, this trip was really the right one, although he had informed the Caucasus now, he still lacked prestige and influence, and he desperately needed a legal identity, that is, the Grand Duke of Kipros. Zhao Yougong didn't care about this kind of false name at all. Since Wofrey needs it, he doesn't mind giving Wofrey a little sweetness, and the combination of interests will make the relationship between the two sides stronger.

Wofrey was full of joy, but Lovednov in Vladimir had a bitter face, like a dead father. The Easterners controlled almost the entire Istrian Heights, and now only Vladimir is still resisting stubbornly, and the worst thing is that Viache is also dead until the duke, and Lovednov is like empty. The princess of the East, Xiao Zhiyun, also came outside the city, and Vladimir was in a stormy situation and could collapse at any time. Lovednov was confused and heartbroken, perhaps after the defeat in the battle of the Suzdal River, he should have thought of such a fate. Is there any point in continuing to fight? There is only one Vladimir city, there is too little to do, and at this time Lovednov did not have the vigor of the past, and some were only disheartened. He didn't think about winning now, he just thought about how to find a way out for the people of the city. It was at this time that a letter arrived in the city.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Luo Weidenov finally opened it and looked at it, "Surrender, the soldiers and the people are like the city of Kiev." If they do not surrender, they will slaughter the city of Vladimir". Of course, there is also Xiao Zhiyun's name behind. Lovednov smiled wryly, this letter came at a really good time, it was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back. In this case, is there a second option? (To be continued.) )
