Chapter 87
Wen Xiang's words surprised several emperors, especially the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. He had thought of attacking the Pope's forces from the sea, but it was France's territory, and it was definitely not the right thing for his own army to appear there. Therefore, he threw this idea aside and just wanted to defeat the Pope's army in Italy.
However, what an unrealistic dream this is. Just think of it, the supplements from France and Europe can continuously reach the hands of the Italian city alliance. The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II is like a boxing ring, the boxer who has never been able to rest. His opponent can retreat and take a breath after fighting, and then come out to fight him again.
Even without the participation of Emperor Louis IX of France and his men, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II did not have the possibility of victory. On the day Pope Innocent IV fled to France, the inevitable result of his failure was laid.
However, Zhao Fubo, whom his daughter Alisha brought from the Arab Empire, could solve all these problems for him. First, his powerful force, and secondly, he was the prospective son-in-law of French Emperor Louis IX, which means that he had no taboos when he went to France. Thinking of this, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II quietly went to see Louis IX's face. Although Louis IX, who did not want to oppose the Pope in his own territory, turned pale at this time.
Not only did he see it, but Zhao Fubo also saw it. He would not embarrass Louis IX too. After all, even if it was for Kiriel's face, he had to give him enough respect.
"Your Majesty, I don't think you have to worry. If you feel that such a battle is not very glorious, then you can continue to stay here and stay in His Majesty Frederick's barracks. I took all the musketeers and rushed there quietly. Even if there is anything, no one will talk about you. In addition, I can guarantee that the Pope will not complain to you in the future, absolutely not!"
Zhao Fubo said that he was full of confidence, but Zhao was full of confidence, and the more Louis IX was worried. Can he not know Zhao Fubo’s plan? If he caught the pope, the pope would have to treat it as a puppet. Whatever Zhao Fubo wanted to tell him to say, he would have to say it. If he didn’t say it, it is certain that Zhao Fubo would shoot him to death immediately without talking nonsense with him, and then find someone who doesn’t want to die to continue to be the pope.
Don’t say that this is not a knight’s behavior, even a robber should not do this. But Louis IX knew that Zhao Fubo was a person who did not believe in any god, so he would not bear any psychological burden for those things.
"If that's the case, I'll see... I think I'll be with you, otherwise..."
After saying that, he didn't say anything for a long time. Everyone knows that his "orrhea" is that he is afraid that Zhao Fubo will kill all the way. No matter whether it is the French or anyone else, as long as someone blocks the way, he will naturally be directly stepped on by his Song Yulin Army, without being uneasy in his conscience. If this guy who is as good as a devil does his own arbitrarily in the land of France, wouldn't his French emperor's face be too ugly!
"Okay, your Majesty, you said so. I think you have great interest in amphibious landing warfare, so let's join us. Your Majesty, you must lead the army of Conrad and send people to disguise themselves as musketeers and my subordinates, and then continue to confront the people of the city alliance here. In addition, I think you have some reincarnation guns, and occasionally bombard those cities to prevent them from leaving the city. At the same time, I have prepared some firecrackers for you. When the archer attacks the enemy on the city wall, you can light them up!"
Zhao Fubo said a lot, and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II finally figured it out. He and his son Conrad IV were to be left here, and Zhao Fubo would lead his army to fight directly to France. Although the plan was good, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II soon found a problem.
"But most of the Popes are still in France now and have no intention of moving here. If you go now...!"
If Zhao Fubo and his friends were going there now, they would naturally have to fight with the French army organized by the Earl of Artowa, and there might even be the English army of King Henry III of John. If that were the case, the 20:1 battle would be too dangerous. Even the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II believed that even if Zhao Fubo and his men could fight well, they would probably be difficult to deal with such a scene.
"That's right, so your Majesty we need to first act with your army to capture several cities of the city alliance. At the same time, we must defeat the German Duke of Thuringia Henry Raspi. In this way, I think there has been enough shock. If the Pope's army leaves France, then we can win by surprise. If they don't move, then you can ask His Highness Conrad to lead the army to the near the Alps to cut off the supplies from the city alliance from France. In this way, both the Pope and the City Alliance will be worried."
When Zhao Fubo said this, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II understood his plan. It turned out that Zhao Fubo and his men did not intend to fight with the main force of the Pope Army, but instead used a trick to attack the east and west, asking the main force of the soldiers to move towards the Alps. At that time, the entire France and the troops near Lyon would be reduced.
As long as Lyon is captured, all the problems will naturally be solved. If even the Pope is captured, then there will be no reason for the so-called Pope army to exist. Frederick II sighed in the face of the pale Louis IX. He understood the problem of his old friend. When fighting in France, France will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. Especially when using those hot weapons, I am afraid that if the city of Lyon is firmly resisting, it will be beaten into rubble.
"I said, man, this is a good plan. Although it will cause losses to France, even the city of Lyon will be out of protection. This makes me...after all, this is for our business. In this way, if Lyon is destroyed by attacks, I will provide enough money to rebuild the city of Lyon! Look at how..."
Listening to the obvious pleading tone of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, Louis IX sighed and shook his head. He was a little sad, but he could not deny that this was indeed a way to quickly end the European war.
