His benefactor asked to enter, how could Adam refuse? In this way, Rostislav once again entered the center of Bulgar power.
Rostislav quite likes this palace. The palace of Bulgar Khan is full of Persian and Arabian customs. This kind of exotic customs is something Rostislav has never seen in Russia. The corridors are even more impressive.
The prince found it quite novel, and he would always go for a walk here after eating.
But it would be nice if there were not those construction workers who were cleaning the prophetic proverbs on the walls. It was a pity for Rostislav. Those proverbs were part of the architectural style from the beginning, and destroying them made the whole building look rather ugly.
Because of the inconsistency, I just hope that Adam and Khan will find a good enough architect to solve these problems.
Entering the Khan's court, the Prince of Moscow took the seat next to the Khan according to the custom during this period. This is the seat of honor in the Bulgar Khanate, usually occupied by powerful officials and the Khan's heirs.
It is interesting to say that the former owner of this position was Akade who had been killed many times. At that time, his power basically dominated the entire Volga Bulgar, and he usurped the throne not long after.
Adam and Rostislav also joked about this, but those jokes also showed something practical, that is, Rostislav is now the de facto leader of Bulgar.
After all, the prince's army was twice as large as Adam's army, and each city gate was still controlled by the Rus.
For this reason, Rostislav wants to leave this place as soon as possible. As a ruler, he knows what another ruler is thinking better than anyone else. If he stays here for too long, it will be very bad for their future relationship.
Next, the prince got straight to the point and talked about today’s theme.
"I think you have read those reports, Lord Adam. First of all, I want to tell you that the withdrawal of the Winter Army will not change anything. I will take my army away as I said yesterday."
As soon as he came up, Rostislav said that the retreat of the army was inevitable, and Rostislav also wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Now Bulgaria's food supply has begun to have some difficulties, and Moscow has also reported that the difficulty of collecting food from their side is also increasing. Therefore, the prince of Moscow must return to Northeastern Rus as soon as possible and disband this army that is devouring countless resources every day.
's army.
After all, they came to Bulgar to support Adam. Now that everything that should be done has been completed, it is natural for them to leave.
Rostislav's words made Adam relieved. He was really afraid that the Prince of Moscow would say that because of the current situation, the Winter Army would extend its stay in Bulgar. In this case, Adam would really doubt whether Rostislav was going to
Use him as a puppet.
"Now that you have made such a decision, Lord Rostislav, I have no objection, but before the army leaves, I want to use your military power to do something."
"What is that, Lord Adam."
Adam's words made a lot of interest appear in Rostislav's eyes. Originally, he thought he had to take the initiative to tell the next strategy, but now it seems that Adam has seen what Rostislav wants to do, so he takes the initiative to guide him in this regard.
"'Sword of Justice', this organization must be attacked and eliminated. During this time, we have ignored the Bulgar countryside. Mr. Rostislav, we must conduct a comprehensive sweep to eliminate these traitors and their supporters."
Catch them all."
Rostislav nodded slightly. This was also his idea. Instead of letting the winter army do nothing while preparing to evacuate, it would be better to put them into suppressing the bandits and punish the Russians before they left.
The local resistance forces in Bulgaria were dealt a severe blow.
And this also has another effect, that is, to conduct a thorough investigation of the Bulgarian countryside and investigate the situation on this land. The Adam regime has always focused too much energy on the city and its surrounding areas, and it is difficult to understand the situation outside the city.
It's really limited.
"There is no problem with the Winter Army and it can be dispatched at any time. However, Mr. Adam, simply sweeping away this kind of thing is not the answer after all."
Next, Rostislav naturally expressed his agreement, and through Rostislav, he gave some advice. He was a little afraid that Adam would just ignore it if he didn't understand this aspect.
In this regard, Adam just calmly said that he had his own plans in this regard and did not need Ross's friends to worry about it.
Rostislav was stunned when he said this, not because of anger, but because of surprise. The young man beside him who had been following him would actually reject his intervention.
But this is exactly what a ruler should do. If everything depends on him, then he should stop being an independent ruler and let the Russians take over everything.
That also saves Rostislav trouble. He is still confident in Adam's work. He has been studying with the prince for so many years. It is impossible for him to be a political idiot after studying for so long. He just needs to be prepared to supplement him because he lacks
The problem brought by experience is.
After this meeting, the troops inside and outside Bulgar City finally began to become restless. The troops usually scattered inside and outside the city were gathered into the military camp, and Adam's vassals also led their troops to come.
A calm before the storm enveloped the city of Bulgar. Everyone saw the army gathering, and news about the annihilation of the Ross grain collection team had already begun to circulate.
Everyone was discussing when Adam and Rostislav would send troops, and the war suddenly became the most discussed topic for everyone. Unfortunately, no one knew except Adam.
Rostislav, on the other hand, did not care at all during this period. He left all the work of leading the troops to the people below, while he himself was reading the letters sent from Moscow during this period.
These letters were all from Zoe, the hostess in Moscow, but most of Zoe's letters were complaining about her two sons being very naughty all day long. These letters made Rostislav smile knowingly.
Zoe didn't describe much about the current situation in Northeastern Russia. She just mentioned that there were more pagan activities in the countryside at some point. They spread around the villages, saying some inflammatory words, and some even went to Moscow.
Come to deceive people, but fortunately this idiot was quickly caught and killed.
The prince was not surprised by this. If he was not in Moscow, there must be some ghosts and monsters. He just ignored it after Xinli asked Zoe to suppress it severely. He still had to worry about Adam's arrangements.
