Chapter 85: Strive for rewards and establish a fierce battle, destroy the alliance with Haihan movable troops

Just as the Han army captured the capital of Rostov, like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves to collect the whole territory of Rostov, one wave after another, and another war broke out.

This is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which brazenly attacked the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

Lithuania is a place of four wars. The north and west are the territories of the Germanic Teutonic Knights. There are important towns in Riga in the north and important towns in Koensburg and Tannburg in the west, which are important strongholds for the Teutonic Knights. In the name of missionary work, the Teutonic Knights occupied the coastal areas of the east coast of the Baltic Sea and often invaded the mainland. Lithuania didn't even have an access to the sea at this time. To the northeast of Lithuania is the Duchy of Polotsk and Pskov of East Slavs; to the east and south is the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

Lithua has a small territory and a small population. It is full of Germanic and East Slavs on all sides. In such a situation, if it is not plagiarized, it will perish! Since the Open State of Mendorf, Lithuanians have chosen the path of plagiarism and have never been afraid to fight against great powers.

Previously, in order to contain the Grand Duchy of Kiev, Yan Han repeatedly sent caravans to disguise sophisticated weapons as ordinary goods and shipped them to Lithuania for sale at affordable prices. Lithuanians welcome this very much. However, this behavior was detected by the Grand Duchy of Kiev and continuously seized several batches of weapons attempting to smuggle through the border, making Yan Han no longer able to contribute to strengthening Lithuania's armaments. Lithuanians are very dissatisfied with this and have long wanted to retaliate against the Grand Duchy of Kiev. Now there is not only the struggle of Utita, and the need for Grand Duke Teota himself to show off his power, and the Lithuanian soldiers are fighting vigorously. Why don't you fight?

The Lithuanian army divided its forces into three routes and attacked the Grand Duchy of Kiev. Minsk all the way, Pingsk all the way, Brest all the way, are the important towns of the Grand Duchy of Kiev.

Under this attack, Kiev was so worried that it could not interfere in the war between Yanhan and Rostov. Shataniev dispatched troops to defend against the Lithuanian army separately.

"Dear generals." ** When sending Lithuanian generals to go on an expedition, the charming Utita put her finger on her lips and said beautifully: "Only men who can fight are good men!" Minsk, Pingsk or Brest, which of you can be the first to capture the enemy's town? I will thank him!"

"Oh!!" The generals cheered and were full of enthusiasm. Everyone knows what Miss Utita's gratitude will be.

"The first one has a heavy prize! The second and third are also rewarded!" Utita continued to encourage generously: "In a word, please kill the enemy bravely. I won't treat brave people badly!"

"Oh!!" The fighting spirit of the generals has risen to the extreme. Because of fear of the grand duke's suspicion, no one dares to propose to the widowed Miss Utita; but everyone wants her thanks and rewards! The young lady has made it very clear. Let's compete fairly!

Looking at the figure of the generals scrambling to go, Utita smiled. The strong Lithuanian army, led by the generals eager to make contributions and receive awards, entered the Grand Duchy of Kiev with an unstoppable momentum.

Thanks to Lithuania's containment of Kiev, Yan Han's collection of Rostov's territory was carried out smoothly. Zhao Jin Linglian led his troops up the Donets River, the largest tributary of the Don River, and quickly calmed down the middle and lower reaches of the Donnets River.

Zhao Jin sat in Rostov City and changed Rostov to Luozhou, taking Luozhou Port as the key commercial port for Yanhan's future development, and 20 miles west of Luozhou and the ancient city of Azov at the mouth of the Don River as the military port. From then on, Yanhan sailors can depart from the port of Azov, cross the Sea of Azov, and sail to the vast Black Sea. Yanhan merchant ships depart from Luozhou Port and can reach the ports along the Black Sea and the Mediterranean coast. Yan Han's development space has been greatly expanded.

After continuous fighting, Zhao Jin was resting and calming the hearts of the people. Suddenly, Fang Yuandu, General Fubo, came to report: "Congratulations, lord! It all depends on the lord's majesty, and the last general has taken the 'no hair dead chicken'.

Zhao Yu was overjoyed: "How did you get it?"

Fang Yuandu laughed and said, "I guess that he will find a boat to cross the river and go to Kiev. So the sergeant ambushed along the river and caught it.

The sergeant was escorted to Umoski. Umoski didn't say a word and looked high. Zhao Jin sighed, "You are also a hero, loyal to the Lord, and your spirit is commendable. It's just that you killed my son-in-law, but I can't forgive you." So he ordered the left and right to push Umoski out and behead him.

Zhu Heng, the left and right general, said, "This man is extremely guilty. Why not cut him with thousands of knives?"

Zhao Yu said, "Killing a strong man with thousands of knives can only scare the stupid people, but it seems that I have no measurement and are afraid of the strong enemy."

Zhu Heng took the order to push out Umoski. Umoski suffered a neck and didn't say a word until his death. Zhao Jin did not need to punish, but learned from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In fact, in addition to increasing the talk of fools, it did not have much effect. On the contrary, it seemed that the ruler was arrogant and lacked real ability.

Cut Umoski, Constantine was untouched. Because his life was saved, Constantine ate and drank again and played with his mistresses. Zhao Jin listened to his subordinates' report on Constantine's behavior and sighed, "This kind of person is the 'wooden stone heart'. Why don't I keep him? It's just that Ijonmsky and Zapolov should be worried.

How to deal with Ijonmsky and Zapolov? If you are openly executed, you will lose your credibility; if you don't get rid of it, you will be afraid of the future. Both of them are good generals. If there were one or two such figures in the Principality of Mogiglio and the Principality of Bensa, Yan Han may not be able to develop so smoothly. Liang generals are very precious to any country. Zhao Zhen does not want these two people to be exiled to countries such as Kiev and Moscow to become his future enemies. However, they will not be willing to let them stay with Constantine. If they want to serve me, they are not willing to use them.

There is another vicious way - to kill them with the help of Constantine and a group of lucky ministers! Just like in those years, the State of Jin used the hand of the Southern Song Dynasty to eliminate Yue Fei. Not only Yue Fei, but also Han Yuqi, another famous leader of the main war faction in the Southern Song Dynasty. Because Han Yuxuan firmly opposed the theory of talking about the wrong country, as a result, the scientists attacked Han Yuxuan and demonized the two prime ministers of the main war faction, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty and Han Yuxuan of the Southern Song Dynasty, extremely black. It can be seen that being killed by the enemy is still the right destination of a hero; being killed and demonized by the natives is really dead, and that is really bad for them!

Zhao Jin can think of such a vicious method, but... he can never use it ruthlessly. With such a despicable way to get home, I will despise myself. Zhao Jin really didn't want to do it, so he had to find another way.

As a result, the disposal problems of Ijonmsky and Zapolov were solved later. Saint Zapolov was religious and knew that his situation was in danger, so he simply became a monk. Zhao Jin pushed the boat along the water and helped him build a monastery. In this way, Zapolov no longer has the idea of rebelling, but also buys the religious East Slavs, and it is also easy to explain to the Byzantine emperor and Orthodox patriarch Andronikos - brother, I have trained a monastery for you!

After following Constantine, who was renamed Duke of Donnets, to the new country, Ijonmsky saw that the territorial people of the new country were only one-seventh of the old country, weak and depressed. Although he is loyal to Constantine, he also has to consider his future. Therefore, after repeated ideological struggles, Ijonmsky decided to accept the invitation of the Grand Duchy of Tajdurel in the Principality of Oortisco to play in Gion-Ordisco. This is actually Zhao Jin's clever arrangement, which was revealed to Tayi Dulie that Yijonmsky is a talent. If he wants, he can help. Taydulre needed such a talent and asked Solnikinsky to write an invitation. Ijonmsky accepted the persuasion, and Konstantin was ordered by Zhao Yu and could not be stopped, so Ijonmsky came to King Ordisco. In this way, it strengthens the strength of Kim Ordisco and helps to contain Moscow. Zhao Jin's move is very good.
