Chapter 3453 Two conclusions
As he spoke arrogantly, he held the bamboo pole in his hand and gently slid it a few times on the sand table at several places marked with small black flags.
"Your Majesty, take a look here. This is a border area that all three countries, Frank, Rome, and Prussia, attach great importance to.
As the Prussian border defenders were retreating steadily, the territory belonging to Prussia had already fallen into the hands of the Frankish troops.
This place is a large plain with very open terrain, with almost no natural dangers to defend.
The retreat of the Prussian border guards was equivalent to extending the Roman border defense line by about thirty to forty miles out of thin air.
With the strength of the Roman border guards currently here, the sudden increase in the defense line by thirty to forty miles was a considerable trouble for the Roman border guards.
As far as the current situation is concerned, if the Roman State wants to ensure that the cities on the border are still safe and sound, there is no other way but to send more troops.
Under such circumstances, if the Frankish State really intends to use troops against the Roman State, let alone the eight thousand or ten thousand cavalry that Your Majesty just mentioned.
Even if only 5,000 cavalry are sent, seven or eight thousand cavalry can march straight in.
In other words, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s like entering a deserted place.”
After listening to Zhang Kuang's very detailed analysis, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and frowned, and casually picked up another bamboo pole on the sand table.
Then, he took the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed sideways on the map on the left, his eyes scanning back and forth between the sand table and the map on his left and right sides.
Soon.
Liu Mingzhi breathed out slowly, took the bamboo pole and tapped it gently in his hand.
"uncle."
"The old minister is here."
"Uncle, what is the name of the current king of Frankia?"
"Go back to Your Majesty and get Roman."
"Get Roman, get Roman." Mr. Liu muttered softly twice, and frowned slightly in confusion: "Uncle, this name seems vaguely familiar to me.
I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can’t remember it for a while.”
Seeing Young Master Liu's confused expression, Zhang Kuang immediately raised his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, I mentioned this person's name in the battle report sent to you by the Golden Eagle before."
Hearing Zhang Kuang talk about the battle report, Liu Dashao's doubts suddenly became clearer.
He took the bamboo pole and tapped the palm of his hand gently but not too hard, and nodded in realization.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I remembered that I did see this name on your battle report.
Uncle, if you say so, is the current king of the Frankish country still the same king as before?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
"How old is this person now?"
"Your Majesty, I am about thirty years old. I don't know the exact age."
"Hehehe, he is only about thirty years old, no wonder you call him a young man.
Not to mention compared to my uncle, aunt, uncle, Yale seniors, Brother Huyan, you guys, veteran generals who have been on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles.
Even in front of me, this young master, he is already a young man at his age."
Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and others looked at each other, smiled bitterly and sighed softly.
"well."
Immediately afterwards, several of them sighed in unison.
"Time is not forgiving."
When Liu Mingzhi saw the reactions of several people, he immediately chuckled and waved his hand.
"Hehehe, let's not talk about this anymore, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Uncle, after the Prussian troops retreated steadily, did the Frankish country use troops against the Roman country?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the information we have received so far, the borders between the Frankish and Roman states are now very stable, and there is no war at all."
Young Master Liu frowned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Hasn't there been any friction between the two countries?"
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang nodded without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is."
Young Master Liu raised his hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin, looking suspicious.
"Uncle, according to what you just said, compared to the ambitions of Alexander Peter of Rome, the ambitions of this Roman are greater.
In this case, there’s no reason for him to be unmoved with such a big piece of fat, right?”
As Liu Mingzhi spoke, he took the bamboo pole in his hand and pointed directly at the spot that Zhang Kuang had just pointed with the bamboo pole.
"After the Prussian border garrison retreated steadily, this land bordering the three countries became a piece of fat for the Frankish state.
The open plains have no natural dangers to defend.
To the rear is our own territory, and to the right is the important frontier land of Prussia that we just captured.
The two are combined with each other to advance to attack and retreat to defend.
At such a favorable time, location, and people, he had his own advantages, so he had no reason not to send troops and horses to march into the territory of Rome.
Could it be that Frank was worried that Prussia and the Roman Congress would join forces to resist?
However, since Naroman dared to use troops against Prussia in the border area between the three countries, it also shows that the troops in his hands are very sufficient.
When the Frankish King Naroman used his troops here, in addition to wanting to attack the borders of Prussia, he may not have deliberately lured Rome into taking the bait.
Otherwise, he could just choose to use troops in the border area between Frankfurt and Prussia. Why would he choose to use troops in such a dangerous place?
Since he dares to act like this, it means that he must have his own confidence.
As a result, there is still peace between the Franks and the Roman state.
Hahaha, it’s unreasonable, it’s really unreasonable.”
After Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a strange expression, he seemed to realize something, and turned back to glance at Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and others.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle, I made you laugh.
I have committed my old habit again. I only focused on analyzing the situation for myself, but I forgot about those of you who might be able to understand the situation.
Please tell me quickly, is there something going on here that I don't know about?"
Arrogant, awesome at the dinner, Yunchong and others shook their heads without hesitation when they heard Young Master Liu's question.
"Your Majesty, I have the same understanding of the situation as you."
"The veteran seconded the proposal."
"The ministers and others also second the proposal."
Seeing the reaction of a group of generals, Young Master Liu frowned in surprise.
"What? Don't you know what's going on here?"
"Your Majesty, I know very well about the war between the three countries.
However, I am still puzzled as to why the Franks have not done anything with such a large piece of fat meat that has reached their mouths."
"Your Majesty, in the past few months, I have been sending elite scouts and soldiers to continuously investigate the war situation between Frankfurt and Prussia on the border.
It is a pity that to this day, I still have gained nothing."
Young Master Liu chuckled and dropped the bamboo pole in his hand, and waved to Song Qing with a chuckle.
"Brother, give me a cup of tea."
"OK."
Song Qing responded with a chuckle, leaned over and picked up a cup of tea from the table next to him, and handed it directly to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, tea."
