king of ros

Chapter 392 Ross God of War
"What? What? My uncle was kicked out of Kyiv, and the prince of witchcraft became the Grand Duke of Kyiv? Then my second uncle won with three thousand against twelve thousand?"

(The real events in history, Vsheslav became the Grand Duke of Kyiv, and Sviatoslav won [-] by [-] were all real events.)
Although he was mentally prepared, after hearing the news, Rostislav still couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

It is now Novgorod in October 1068, and the location is the Novgorod Castle, in front of Moscow Prince Rostislav.

The Prince of Moscow was sitting on a low armchair. When he heard the news, he wanted to get up and get closer to the businessman, and wanted to listen to him more closely, but in the end he felt that it was not appropriate, so he sat back.

In fact, Rostislav was mentally prepared for these things, but he didn't expect these things to happen intensively.

"Yes, Mr. Rostislav, you should really see the scene at that time. Tens of thousands of Polovets collapsed in the face of Mr. Svyatoslav's impact. The only hard stubble you encountered was the Khan's personal guards. Horde, but these Polovets were also quickly defeated."

The businessman who brought the news happily described the scene he saw with his own eyes. When Prince Chernihiv entered the battle, he was on the city wall of Kyiv and saw this scene with his own eyes.

At first everyone thought that Svyatoslav was dying, but it was even more so when the Polovets surrounded the Rus, and some people even mourned for those warriors.

But then, after a fierce fight, the Polovets began to collapse one after another, and one after another the yellow flags fell down one after another, as if washed away by the tide.

The Rurik Trident was the tide that submerged everything, and then the tide hit the Polovets Khan, and then people saw the collapse of the Polovets army.

"Then the entire Polovets retreated, and the siege of Kyiv was lifted, and after the battle, Prince Chernigov marched around Kyiv with the armor and yellow banners of the nobles of Polovets, Then he retreated to Chernihiv. Mr. Rostislav, you don't know what happened at that time, the whole Kyiv was cheering for this miraculous victory."

After the businessman said these words, he still had a look of endless aftertaste, which shows that the scene had a great impact on him, but Rostislav was not in such a mood.

"Thank you for your news, Merchant, and we shall return your notification, Gavrila."

"Yes, I will immediately take this guest to buy salted fish and furs."

The mayor of Novgorod immediately made an invitation gesture, and joy immediately flew to the merchant's cheeks.

There is no market for salted fish now, because as long as you get it, you can make money, so there are always many people who want it.As for the furs, the previous batches are all good things, the sooner you get them, the better.

As the businessman retreated gratefully, Rostislav thought for a while, and then called a person in, and he was Rostislav's relative, Edward Wessex.

As a member of the prince's court, Edward naturally followed the prince at all times and was always ready to respond to the prince's call.

In fact, at the beginning Rostislav wanted to go to Myshko, but considering the kid's short marriage and his usual rough methods, the Prince of Moscow finally dismissed this idea.

The farmers in his territory were on the verge of rebellion every day, and letting this guy lead the army alone might cause some trouble.

This Anglo-Saxon nobleman now looks like a Ross nobleman, and his demeanor is completely like a Ross nobleman.

This also made the Ross people like him even more. Not many people cared about his foreign status. It can be said that this person has completely integrated into the circle of Ross nobles.

His Rurik wife had recently borne him a son, whom he had named Marin, a full Rose name.

"Lord Edward, I want you to immediately lead a thousand Novgorod militiamen to Polotsk. I have already ordered Gavrila to take over from him."

"Lord Rostislav, what do you want me to do?"

In the words of the Prince of Moscow, the Anglo-Saxon nobles immediately realized the seriousness of it, and what happened in Kyiv had spread in the city, so he didn't ask why, but directly asked what to do.

"Go and help my cousin Svyatopolk defend Polotsk. After what happened in Kyiv, there will definitely be problems in Polotsk. The prince of witchcraft and those subordinates will definitely make trouble. My cousin may not be able to suppress the blind movement over there. Don’t worry about the lack of troops, the Yoms regiment in Riga will also cooperate with you, I have already sent an order to Soljier, asking him to invest in troops.”

Rostislav immediately noticed the key to the current situation. Although Kyiv has undergone drastic changes, the north cannot be in chaos. Therefore, the Principality of Polotsk must be stable. This place is a possible source of disaster. The Prince of Moscow must help his relatives. Bundle.

After arranging the measures against Polotsk, Rostislav was a little at a loss. The reason why the prince was at a loss was simply because it was not appropriate for him to do anything now.

Aiding Polotsk and maintaining the stability of that principality is already the limit of what he can do. As for the rest, it is difficult for him to recover Kyiv.

Regardless of whether it can be defeated or not, the most important thing is who will the city belong to after it is defeated?Uncle is still there now.

In terms of legal principles, this is also unfair. The second uncle and third uncle should do things like recovering Kyiv, but the second uncle returned directly to Chernihiv after lifting the siege of Kyiv. The third uncle Still busy cleaning up the mess on his territory.

The most important thing is that if you do this, you will be too abrupt, and you will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism. You are sitting in Kyiv, and then stretching your hand to Novgorod. What are you going to do?How to solve the problem of patriarchal law that arises here?

Rostislav came to the final conclusion that he could do nothing but wait and see what happened.This fact made Rostislav a little uncomfortable, but it had to be so.

Let the uncle solve this problem by himself. Don't look at the uncle being kicked out of Kyiv in embarrassment. In fact, the cards in his hand are not weak at all. Southwestern Ross is actually still under his command, not to mention, he still has a Polish Relatives can invite it.

"However, how Sviatoslav won this big victory so early is really..."

Speaking of the second uncle's victory, Rostislav was really surprised. This victory also gave the second uncle a great reputation. With a record of 3000 breaking [-], even Rostislav, who has always been famous for his martial arts Nothing was done.

In the original history, the second uncle should have achieved such a record a month later, but in this timeline that has changed, he did it after the drastic change in Kyiv.

This victory can be said to dispel all Rostislav's mood to go south. Originally, he still had the idea to take advantage of the two-month gap to go south to save Kyiv and earn fame.

The great victory will undoubtedly make the second uncle the most popular prince in the whole of Ross. Although Rostislav has fought many battles and won many victories, he did not do so under such a huge gap in military strength.

Moreover, rescuing Kyiv had no intention of winning the hearts and minds of the whole of Russia, which made Rostislav as uncomfortable as if he had drunk bitter wine.

From this point of view, this pair of uncles and nephews are really similar...

But after struggling for a while, Rostislav decided to let him go, and there was no need to worry about what had happened.

The next thing to do is to continue to develop, accumulate strength, and prepare for the future.

The series of events in Kyiv made Rostislav feel that that moment was getting closer, and the prince of Moscow knew very well that sooner or later he would fight Prince Chernihiv.

In the same way, Prince Chernigov knew very well that sooner or later he would fight the Prince of Moscow.

After figuring this out, the prince of Moscow continued to work in Novgorod. No matter what, he just treated it with a normal heart, and continued to sell salted fish.
