Chapter 281 Controlling the West
A Bulgar peasant raised his head. It was a face that had been through many vicissitudes, a typical peasant face.

The farmer has been cultivating the land for 30 years, and has seen many events and visitors on this land, and nothing can surprise him.

But now, he is once again sticking his hoe, standing in the field and watching the development of history indifferently.

These things have nothing to do with him, the gentlemen have taken too much from him.

His father left him because of this when he was a child, and soon after he grew up and got married, his son also disappeared forever because he responded to the call.

He only cares about his own life now, and only wants his relatives to live in peace.

As for those quarreling and disputing gentlemen, it has nothing to do with him, they can do whatever they like.

Moreover, the farmer is not carrying this hoe for farming, but mainly for self-defense. Even with the fertility of the Bulgar land, there is not much land to plant in winter.

Although it doesn't change the order of death if the passing army wants to do something, it can at least make his death look decent. He doesn't want to be killed like a livestock.

It was Adam's army that was passing on the road in the farmland, and the banner of the Bulgar Charizard was flying above their heads.

There are many warriors wearing Persian and Arabian armor around Adam. Except for his personal guards, most of the others defected after Adam came here.

Bulgar has never lacked supporters for the orthodox heir of the Dulu family, but they all chose to hide when Akkad and his eagle dogs were rampant, preparing for Adam's return in the future, and when Adam appeared, they immediately rushed popped up.

Walking on the land that his father ruled, Adam was full of emotions. He had been away for so many years, and now he finally returned to this land.

The prince wore a set of sturdy chain mail, with a prairie-style armor on his chest, a set of slim-fitting breeches on his lower body, with chain mail pieces on top of the breeches, leather boots on his boots, and a pointed helmet inlaid with The inscription is written, and the expensive white bear cloak is behind it.

The inscriptions on the pointed helmets are the same as those of most Bulgar nobles, except that these are in Greek, and there is also a cross representing the Christian faith.

But from a distance, this is no different from those helmets inlaid with prophetic proverbs. This is also done on purpose by Adam. Although he converted to Christianity, many things should be kept in their original form, so that people can accept them. .

Bows and riding bows also hang on both sides of the saddle, which is an indispensable thing for every northern warrior, and Adam looks like a complete Bulgar nobleman.

Although Adam was a little thin, these armors supported his body, giving him the majesty of a ruler. Even that overly beautiful face looked extremely majestic against the backdrop of these gold and iron tools.

When the Bulgars on both sides of the road saw such a team coming, they either knelt down humbly before the army, or watched them from afar.

Although I don't have any feelings for the ruler, this army makes everyone more or less friendly, especially after the Ross people passed.

Those barbarians from the west swept through the villages like the wind, confiscating all kinds of supplies from them, and these guys even committed massacres.

Although it is said that the Ross people punished those who slaughtered them afterwards and hung their leaders' heads in front of everyone, but the seeds of hostility and alienation have been planted.

The local Bulgar lords and towns either submitted to the Rus invaders or were slaughtered by this western army.

However, the local people are not very resistant to asking for supplies and other things. After years of disputes in Bulgar, this is not a basic operation. Every time the army arrives in the enemy's territory, such confiscation will be carried out, and those who resisted have died long ago.

Of course, the main reason for things to develop like this is that everyone has unspoken rules, but once someone is greedy and breaks the rules, then the people will break the rules too...

But now everything is peaceful, and these Ross people are still here to let the orthodox heir of the Dulu family succeed, this is not a foreign enemy invasion.

It was that they began to massacre the village as soon as they entered Bulgar, which made everyone very unappetizing at first, which caused many people to take up arms and stand with the rebellious lord at first.

But these lords were quickly defeated, and the Ross people did not carry out any more massacres, which also made the resistance of the Bulgars dissipate a lot.

Now the people of Ross——Prince Adam to be precise—govern the area on the west bank of the Kama River in a peaceful manner. Most people still accept Adam’s rule. There are at most some small-scale guerrillas in the area, but their disappearance is only a matter of time. question.

After all, Akkad Khan in Bulgar City's attitude of giving up on the West is too obvious. Now the resistance is hopeless at all, and the Ross people are still so strong.

After the Winter Army crossed the Volga River, the land on the west bank was swept by the Rus almost instantly.

The local lords failed to make any effective resistance, and Akkad's army did not see it at all.

So in this way, the Bulgar territory from the west of the Kama River was under the rule of Adam, and the fortified cities on the western border were directly cut off when they saw the back road, and they simply surrendered directly.

Some people therefore see this as a sign of Akkad's weakness. Of course, Adam and Rostislav both say this in public to create atmosphere and boost morale, but in private, both of them understand that Akkad is absolutely is planning something.

Now Adam is touring the land, showing the people their true khan and proclaiming his power over the land.

Adam's team quickly passed through the farmland in the eyes of the people. Adam himself was very touched when he saw the land under his rule. He didn't expect that the western part of the Kama River would be so easy. into the hand.

The Kama River is a tributary of the Volga River, a very important tributary, and its width is no less than that of the Volga River. This big river nourished the Bulgar civilization.

And on the other side of the Kama River is the city of Bulgar and the essence of the country, which is the most beautiful and rich part of the whole country, and the part that Ross most desires.

Acquiring these riches required the right strategy, so Rostislav restrained those who planned to kill.

Moreover, Rostislav did not treat Adam as a puppet. He did not let his own people control the land, but handed them all over to Adam to take care of them, and asked him to send officials or divide the territory.

Of course, the work of collecting materials was naturally entrusted to him.

It was also because of this behavior that these Bulgars did not resist much, because they saw that it was Prince Adam's subordinates who were ruling, not those Russ. They did not come here to destroy the Bulgar nation, and those rumors were pure nonsense.

Adam's team has also ushered in expansion, and local lords and towns have led teams to join his army. At present, even after he has assigned many soldiers to garrison various places, his team has still reached a scale of [-].

Just when Adam was about to go to the next village at a fork in the road, suddenly a rider ran up another road, and that person happened to be a man he knew.

That's Alaire's squire, Hussein.

Seeing Hussein's arrival, Adam realized that something might have happened, because Hussein's job was to report all kinds of news.

"Master Adam, Lord Adam."

Hussein stopped his horse in front of Adam, and kept panting heavily, showing how fast he was running.

"Hussein, take your time, has something happened?"

Looking at his panting appearance, Adam couldn't help but say.

"Lord Rostislav wants you to come over immediately! He has something to ask you."

Hussein's words stunned Adam for a moment, then he nodded slightly, and then ordered the front team to switch to the back team. Since the situation is such that Rostislav wants to see him, it means that the matter must be serious.
