"Don't worry about Earl Sam, the Danes are indeed amassing a large amount of supplies in Kalmar, but they are not coming for us and the Norwegians. The news I got from the Senate seemed to be that the Danish royal family had passed a certain resolution, as if it was a preparation for the aid of Prince Fawerna" Scottto didn't hide it from Sam, the reason why he said these words was also to sell a good one, anyway, to have a good relationship with the Orientals, there is only good for himself, and there is no harm in it. In fact, it is not surprising that Scotto's thoughts are not at all, although the Kingdom of Sweden claims to be a kingdom and has its own king, in fact, it is far from being a real kingdom, it is just a spontaneous organization formed by the Helaren nobles against the Danish royal family for the sake of collective business interests. In fact, fundamentally, Helaren is still a plate of loose sand. If the Easterners come to the Baltic, the Hylaren nobles will not object, anyway, as long as it does not affect trade, everyone has money to earn and live a good life, it is better than anything else.

Although Scottto didn't say it explicitly, Sam still clearly felt the meaning of his words, gathering supplies in Kalmar City, and supporting Fayunna, doesn't that mean that the Danes will make a big move against Kipros in the near future? Sam thought that this news was very important, and Scotto's intention to befriend the Eastern Empire had been achieved, and he also got into a relationship with Sam, so he took his leave with humor. As soon as Scotto left, Sam immediately repaired a book, and for the sake of insurance, he copied two letters and sent several people to the city of Kiev by different routes. Sam was afraid that something would happen, and as long as one of the letters reached the city of Kyiv, it would be of great use. Sam prayed that nothing would happen, it was the first thing he did after he submitted to the regent, but nothing could go wrong. For Sam, the days of waiting are tantamount to spending the days like years, but as the new earl, the new nobleman of Hylaren, he must participate in various occasions, and Sam is anxious, and he can only endure it.

The Kingdom of Denmark can be said to have tried its best to hide for this huge military operation, but there are always clues to be found in large-scale military operations. Ten days later, Zhao Yougong, who was far away in the Teginets manor, finally received the letter sent by Sam, looking at the content of the letter, his mood also became extremely bad, "This Fayunna, it is really difficult to deal with, the materials stored in Kalmar City can be sent to the front line of Yeelinburg in a short time, it is not easy to be discovered, and it can be easily transferred to the front line, this arrangement is really clever, if Sam is not careful, we will be deceived by the Danes." Orders were ordered to garrison Rogda and send spies out to keep a close eye on the border situation. ”

"The Danes are going to attack the Rogda hills, and the garrison near Jan Mar must move closer to the west as soon as possible, and Sister Hai Dongzhu must deliver a letter. In addition, we have to speed up our pace to deal with the Germans, although we are not afraid, but facing the Danes and the Germans at the same time, it will not be good for us 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 the change came too suddenly, it seems that the loss of the Germanic soldiers and horses reminded Fayunna before. However, it is not so easy to exterminate the Germanic people who are active in the Istrian highlands, there is a way that the hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, although this group of Germans is not attacked, but if they defend the fortified city, it is still difficult to deal with. Due to the importance of the matter, it didn't take long for Dongfang Jin, Luo Weidenov, Yang Zaixing and others to be called to the manor castle, I heard that the Danes began to gather heavy troops to make a move on the Rogda hills, everyone's expressions changed greatly, Dongfang Jin and Luo Weidenov glanced at each other, all showed surprise, Luo Weidenov asked with some doubts, "Your Highness, our plan can be said to be flawless, and the garrison of the Rogda hills has always adhered to the procrastination trick, according to the law, the old fox of Yunna should not find anything." ”

"According to common sense, it should be like this, but it is precisely because there is no flaw that it is a flaw, we are still a little anxious, Vilnius fought and annihilated a large number of Germans, which directly made Fayunna see our strength. Fayunna is not a fool, he probably saw that we were planning to eat the Duchy of Saxony, and with Fayunna's wisdom, it is not difficult to guess that our series of actions are headed for the Baltic Sea. However, things are not as bad as they seem, the Danes have to transfer troops within the kingdom, the road is far away, in terms of time, we still have an advantage, as long as we can completely exterminate the Germans active in the Istrian highlands before the main Danish army arrives in Yellinburg, then the Danes will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties" Zhao Yougong said to the point, but it is not easy to do this, just like Xiao Zhiyun thought, if the Germans rely on the fortified city and defend the three cities, it is also three hard bones. Dongfang Jin pondered his eyebrows, and soon a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes that looked a little cloudy, "Your Highness, your subordinates have a clever plan, but this plan is too hurtful to the heavens and harmony, it depends on whether Your Highness dares to use it, whether he has the courage to do so!" ”

"Great officials? When is it, you are still selling with this king, when has this king been afraid of things, as long as your strategy is useful, this king will not dare, say it, and let everyone listen to your clever plan" The corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth were crooked, if someone wasn't there, the truth would be kicked according to Dongfang Jin's ass, how many years have passed, the temperament of the big officials has not changed at all, and from time to time they show off their talents to learn wisdom. Looking at everyone's strange eyes, Dongfang Jin smiled awkwardly, stretched out his index finger, and lightly nodded at Kyiv City, "Since Your Highness can send Vilnius and other cities out, why can't you send Kyiv City out?" The reason why we are a little passive now is because the city of Kyiv is too important, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it involves too much energy, what if we don't defend the city of Kyiv? Let's just evacuate the city of Kyiv and hold the Suzdal River with only a small number of soldiers and horses. In addition, the Third Army, the Fourth Army, and the Seventh Army were assembled, and nearly 80,000 troops were directly inserted into the Saxony Supprin Castle, the old nest of Lothair. Doesn't he want Kiev, we will give it to him, but we must also give us the Duchy of Saxony. In this exchange, it seems that we are losing, but in fact we are not losing, but we have earned, not to mention the large rear and baggage of the Germanic people, and we can also put pressure on other principalities other than Saxony. ”

Abandon the city of Kyiv? If it weren't for Dongfang Jin's always being clever and impressive, most people would have to throw Dongfang Jin into the oil pan and fry it at this time, which is simply crazy. Kiev City is a holy place of Kipros, and it is also Zhao Yougong's palace, giving up Kiev City, the regent will be shameless, and the withdrawal of medicine, hundreds of thousands of Kipros garrisons are all disgraced. 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 confusion, "Mr. Dongfang, even if we are shameless and take the initiative to abandon the city of Kiev, even if we defeat the Duchy of Saxony, how can the many Germanic soldiers left on the Istrian heights be solved?" Although they were cut off from their baggage, the baggage on the Istrian heights alone was enough for them to hold out for several months, but it still couldn't achieve their goal of quickly destroying them. ”

After listening to Yang Zaixing's inquiry, Luo Weidenov and the others all nodded, Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun glanced at each other and did not rush to speak. The two of them are the most familiar with Dongfang Jin, and they know the personality of the big officials very well, and giving up the city of Kyiv can be regarded as lacking in virtue and boldness at best, but it is far from hurting the heavens and the peace, so it is estimated that there are a series of bad moves behind the big officials. Sure enough, Dongfang Jin smiled faintly and continued, "Here is why this plan hurts the heavens and the peace, after we take the Duchy of Saxony, we only need one move to drive a large number of people of the Duchy of Saxony to the Istrian Heights, and release the news that whoever surrenders on the Istrian Heights will be able to lead his family home to eat a hot meal, otherwise he will watch his family freeze to death on the highlands." ”

Hiss, a group of people all gasped, and when they looked at Dongfang Jin again, their eyes changed, the damage, it was really too bad, no wonder it hurt the heavens, this is simply inhumane, and they are all going down the third-rate road. Zhao Yougong smashed his mouth in embarrassment, he has rarely done this kind of thing in recent years, but he didn't expect to be instigated by big officials to be a human trafficker again. How do you know that the words of the big official have not been finished, looking at the cold eyes of everyone, he didn't blink his eyelids, "This is just an appetizer, didn't you let go of a group of red-capped knights before, oh, and that noble Royce, it's time to use their relationship." Send someone to invite Royce and the nobles of Lorraine, just say that God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to see more Lorraine soldiers die in meaningless battles, let them all take them home, as long as these people come, those soldiers from the Lorraine Kingdom are still in the mood to fight? Of course, the last move, and the most crucial move, is for us to marry the Kingdom of Lorraine. ”

Poof, now everyone doesn't even have the strength to open their mouths, and the thinking of the Oriental officials is completely jumping, how can they run to the marriage while talking? Or is it a marriage with the Kingdom of Lorraine, where does this come from? Rao is Zhao Yougong is witty on weekdays, and some of them have been rectified, and some of them are not convinced, and they pointed at themselves in disbelief, "Big official, are you letting this king marry?" ”

"Ahem, Your Highness, you are handsome and chic, Yushu is in the wind, you are a famous beautiful man in my Great Song Dynasty, and you have such a noble identity, of course I want you to get married, my subordinates want to go, but you really can't get into the eyes of the law, so you won't sell ugly, in fact..." Xiao Zhiyun is really going crazy, one Kelai is not clear enough, and now Dongfang Jin wants Zhao Yougong to marry, if she can be comfortable, it will be hell. Xiao Zhiyun is not a jealous person, but she also has a bottom line, isn't it just a Lorraine Kingdom, worthy of such sacrifice by His Royal Highness Zhao? With so many Western women around, how should I explain to Zhu Lian after returning to the Great Song Dynasty? Dongfang Jin closed her mouth, but Xiao Zhiyun didn't intend to let him go like this, "Mr. Dongfang, keep talking, if you don't make a sense, hum, Sanniang is ready to use the knife." ”

Dongfang Jin secretly scolded the mistake, patronizing the power of his tongue, but forgetting that Concubine Xiao was right in front of him. In the face of the eldest lady Zhu Lian, she is not so afraid, no matter how powerful the eldest lady is, she is also a gentle person, but Concubine Xiao is really an out-and-out ruthless person, a woman who single-handedly established the B room army and led the troops to fight all the year round, how can she not be ruthless? Dongfang Jin knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he would definitely not be able to please him, "Concubine Xiao is angry, her subordinates are really thinking about my hundreds of thousands of soldiers." The Kingdom of Lorraine is in a very special position, sandwiched between the eastern nobility and the Frankish Kingdom, but it is precisely that the Kingdom of Lorraine is not a country with a strong desire for expansion, they are just looking for business. The subordinates have known in many ways that although the Kingdom of Lorraine is under the rule of King Matteer, it is actually divided into two major forces, one side is the northern white grape nobles led by Royce and other nobles, the other is the red grape nobles led by the Weiting family in the south, and the northern and southern nobles are synthetic vineyard nobles. This northern nobleman is friendly with us, Royce and others have persuaded the family to turn to us, the reason why King Matteire has not expressed his position for a long time, the key lies in this Weiting family. The nobles of the southern red vineyards seemed to be hesitating, and their subordinates learned from Royce that the patriarch of the Wettin family, Hornan, had a daughter named Marina, who was favored by Louis the Fat and intended to welcome him into the Frankish palace and become the new Frankish queen. The relationship between the Frankish kingdom and us is also clear to everyone, because of Claire's existence, we have a heart to get involved in Scotland and England, and we are destined to not go with the Franks. It is precisely because of this that the southern Weiting family hesitated. However, judging from the fact that they did not directly reject our overtures, they did not fully trust Louis. So, in this case, why don't Your Highness intervene sideways, it is also a marriage, as long as the Wei Ting family is not a fool, they know how to choose, in the face of the powerful eastern nobles, they will definitely choose to marry us. If we continue to marry Louis, we will unite the eastern nobles and the northern nobles to exert pressure, will the Franks alone be able to withstand this pressure? ”

Dongfang Jin's words were not completely spoken, but the rest could not be understood after a little thought. If the red grape nobles in the south and the white grape nobles in the north all fall to the Great Song Dynasty, then Ma Taier has only one choice, he can't fight against the two major forces of the kingdom, otherwise he will be the end of the king. In the face of such strong pressure, the eastern nobles will definitely give up the interests of Saxony, in order to protect their vested interests, Lothair will also be abandoned, and no one will take unworthy risks for the sake of not getting their hands. The eastern nobles withdrew from the battlefield of Istria, and the Danube nobles and blacksmith nobles could only follow, so that the Germanic army active in the Istrian heights would fall apart and fall apart. How many Germanic soldiers were truly loyal to Lothair and willing to fight to the death for him?

Go through Dongfang Jin's plan from beginning to end, I have to marvel at Dongfang Jin's strength, give up and take, pull and fight, crush people's hearts, first use the Saxon people to hit the morale of the original Saxon soldiers, and then use marriage to completely win the Lorraine Kingdom as an ally, and then use the Lorraine Kingdom to balance the Franks, and then cooperate with the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses stationed in the Duchy of Saxony to threaten the eastern Germanic nobles. The eastern nobles and the Danube nobles, who felt the pressure, were bound to choose to abandon the Duchy of Saxony and keep their capital for their own interests. Luo Weidenov and the others all looked at Dongfang Jin in disbelief, such a complicated plan was actually thought up by one person in less than half an hour, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed it? How can there be such a ghost in the world? really responded to that sentence, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, any problem, as long as you find the right way, you can solve it. At this time, even Xiao Zhiyun couldn't say anything, even if she was very unhappy, she still couldn't stop this marriage, political marriage, and many times she was helpless. Zhao Yougong has not expressed his position, and no one urges, only a fool will urge at this time, it is obvious that His Royal Highness is waiting for Concubine Xiao's attitude, after a long time, Xiao Zhiyun sighed slightly, "Tomorrow will start to implement the great retreat plan, the troops stationed near Vladimir will assemble on the western front of the Suzdal River, Shi Wengong's department will withdraw from the northern Caucasus and join the Gao Pet Department, and the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army will be stationed outside the Suzdal River, and the rest of the people will all move to the western front, four days later, It was imperative that the armies of all stripes assemble along the banks of the Kakiwell River. ”

Xiao Zhiyun's military order was issued, which was tantamount to a default marriage, but with her arrogant temperament, she directly agreed, obviously not very willing. After the general marching plan was issued, Xiao Zhiyun didn't forget to glance at Dongfang Jin coldly, as if to say, "We'll see". Dongfang Jin scratched her head very depressedly, this time she offended Concubine Xiao, but she blamed herself for such a big thing, and she didn't say hello to Concubine Xiao, she was still too anxious.

The great retreat of Kyiv is no better than Vilnius and other places, and many people are reluctant to hear about the implementation of the retreat plan, but Lovodnov personally came forward and just said "death for staying", and no one dared to make trouble. The most regrettable thing is that the free trade zone under construction is just halfway through and now has to be stopped. The huge retreat plan can't hide from everyone's eyes at all, let alone the spies of the Germans, in fact, there are many evil ruffians bought by the Germans in Kiev, and these people spread the news to Lothair as soon as possible. The city of Kyiv is retreating, and Lothair is full of question marks, if he hadn't confirmed it repeatedly, he would have doubted the authenticity of this news, and no matter how he listened to this news, it would be like a fool and a fool. Lothair couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to find Bysel, Sugers, Jorkoren and others, and Sugers and the others wondered, "Your Majesty, what is the so-called reason for coming to us in such a hurry?" ”
