king of ros

Chapter 387
After Kosnijachik came to the Vladimir Palace, he did try to convey the words of the old general to Izyaslav.

It's just that the Grand Duke of Kyiv was obviously not in the mood to listen, so he honestly swallowed the words into his stomach, but due to the power of the old Tvori Milic, he still didn't choose to forget it immediately, but planned to find another opportunity to watch it. Can you tell the Grand Duke.

On the other hand, Izyaslav is very happy recently, because within half a month after he issued the call, the entire Kyiv and surrounding areas were enthusiastically joining the army. People thought that war could make them rich, and they all went forward with weapons and armor. Come.

You must know that such active joining the army was rare in the past. Even when they conquered Polotsk before, people were not so active, but this time even those nomadic tribes wandering outside Kyiv actively joined in.

At present, 8000 people have been gathered under the command of the Grand Duke of Kiev. This has been the strength of the city of Kyiv and its suburbs. The strength of other regions has not yet arrived, and this army is enough to go out.

As soon as Chernigov's army arrives and joins Pereyaslav's side, his army can reach more than 2 immediately.Ijaslav was so happy to be able to lead an army of [-] people twice in a row in less than a year.

There was also good news from Pereyaslav. Vsevolod defeated a nomadic army, which greatly curbed the movement of the nomadic army, and even several tribes were defeated.

This aroused cheers in Kyiv. People always like to win, and some people called because of this, for fear that the war would end early and lose the opportunity to fight.

The victory made people more optimistic about the prospect of the war, and the citizens of Kyiv were as happy as their princes. Many people even celebrated their children in advance, celebrating their victory in the war. In people's view, the war is absolutely impossible to lose, and these The younger ones promised that they would come back with the spoils.

With the arrival of Chernihiv's 3000 troops, the atmosphere of celebration immediately reached its peak. At present, Kyiv has assembled a full [-] people.

And after gathering with Pereyaslav, the number of troops is enough to reach more than [-]. Such an army will definitely defeat those damn nomads!
Kosnijachik was completely busy. As the general manager of Kyiv, he was in charge of logistics. As for the remarks about the old general, he had to forget about them. After all, he had to listen to countless words every day.

However, Svyatoslav also took Kosnyachik to drink a few glasses, but the governor of Kiev kept a distance from the prince of Chernigov after that banquet. As an important minister of the Grand Duke of Kyiv, he and other It is undoubtedly very unwise for a prince to get too close.

Seeing this, Sviatoslav was not discouraged. Anyway, it was just an attempt, and he could achieve the best, so he couldn't forget it.

Next, it is to prepare for the expedition. Now that a large army is setting off, how could the ceremony be missing?
When that day came, Kyiv was extremely prosperous, even more prosperous than the scene of the four princes going to war before, because many children of Kyiv people joined the army this time, so the people who came to see them off were even more exaggerated than that time, The music of the band makes the atmosphere even more lively.

Speaking of this, in fact, there are quite a few accompanying personnel in the army this time. After all, there are examples of the success of following the coalition army before.

It's just that because this time they are facing a nomadic army, considering the size and mobility of the team, basically all the accompanying personnel were dismissed this time.

"Kyiv is still so prosperous..."

Riding in front of the army, Sviatoslav couldn't help sighing as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Appearing in front of him was a welcome queue composed of countless people, and behind the people were the buildings of Kyiv.And the metropolitan stood in front of the army, blessing the army.

There was only one person in front of Svyatoslav, and he was Izyaslav.

For some reason, Prince Chernigov, who had experienced this scene not long ago, had a strong desire in his heart. He wanted to stand at the forefront and make Kyiv his city.

He couldn't help but fantasize about what a wonderful scene it would be if he became the Grand Duke of Kyiv and the Lord of All Rus.

For so many years since the assassination of Novgorod was arranged, his various actions and layouts have never stopped. Isn't this all for Kyiv?
Now it is only necessary to kill Izyaslav, and Kyiv will be his... Prince Chernigov's mind is running wild.

But Svyatoslav was a man of firm will after all, and such desires were quickly controlled by him and kept in check.

Just as Svyatoslav suppressed his thoughts and continued to follow behind his brother, a situation suddenly appeared in front of them.

An old man dressed in rags and with dirt all over his face unexpectedly rushed out of the Kyiv militia's obstruction and came in front of the army, standing in front of the army with his crutch.

This scene was too sudden, because everyone was taken aback, looking at this person, wanting to know what he would do next.

And the man stretched out his hand, thinking only of Izyaslav, "Fool! You will lead our children to death! You foolish self-satisfied man, God will punish you for your deeds." of!"

Then there was a series of insults to Ijaslav, and this time it really surprised everyone. Kyiv has seen everything in so many years, but this is really the first time to insult Ijaslav on the street.

"Take this beggar away! What's going on? Are you all fools? Why can't you even do such a job well?"

Angrily, Kosnijachik rode forward and ordered the militiamen to pull the beggar away. The panicked militiamen immediately stepped forward, and were pulled out under the beating and dragging of the militiamen.

But the ready-made is still silent, the impact of what happened just now is too great, everyone is immersed in the impact.

Moreover, many people thought that this person seemed to be the prophet who came to Kyiv recently. This identity immediately aroused reactions among the superstitious public, and people began to whisper about those words.

In Ross society, such crazy and prophesied people are respected by people, and no one dares to offend such an existence, and they are also convinced by their words.

Even those who disdain such lunatics will not kill them. After all, who knows if it will be unlucky to use weapons against them, and we must avoid all risks as much as possible.

"Play music, play music!"

Kosnijachik immediately made the best response, that is, ordered the band to play music, and as the joyful music sounded, the atmosphere returned to the previous scene, but it was far less enthusiastic than before.

The governor of Kyiv explained all this to the Grand Duke in a panic, for fear that the Grand Duke would blame him. However, although Ijaslav was in a bad mood, he obviously didn't want to continue with the prisoner. He waved to the governor, indicating that this matter would be over. , and the manager also left with a sense of relief.

Izyaslav mainly felt that it was bad luck. Damn it, it was really inexplicable how he encountered a lunatic doing things like this.

But he didn't intend to kill that person, it's not worth it to get angry with a lunatic, killing him would only make his reputation worse, and those nonsense words would spread more among the people.

Cold treatment is the best treatment, and expressing disdain is what a ruler should do. It is really embarrassing for the Grand Duke of Kyiv to end the court himself and argue with a mad beggar or something.

But after all, I was a little unhappy in my heart. It was really extremely unlucky to encounter such a thing on a good expedition.

When Izyaslav was depressed, he didn't notice at all that there was a smile on the corner of Svyatoslav's mouth behind him, as if he was enjoying his brother's embarrassment, but that smile made people feel that there was something behind him. There is also a deep meaning...

After this episode passed, the re-formed coalition continued to march, and this story was also left behind. If it continues to develop normally, then this matter will soon be forgotten by everyone.
