Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 333 King, Nobles, Church, Kipchaks, Counterintuitive Schemes

"Brother Zhang, you mean to let them go, why should you let them go? We finally caught these people," Guyu said.

He really didn't understand what Brother Zhang was thinking. After these people caught. They should be brought to the city of Pest, and then executed collectively in front of the king, and then to intimidate the defenders in the city and let them know the terror of the Mongols.

"If we really kill them, it will do a great favor to Bela IV, allowing him to consolidate his power in the city, and take this opportunity to boost the morale of the whole city, making all Hungarians more determined to resist our attack." Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"Why is this? Isn't he Chen Rui's top commander? He is a king! He is equivalent to a monarch and emperor. How can these people disobey his orders?" Guyu asked.

"Don't you understand this? Western society is completely different from ours. Recently, you have been living in Kiev. Don't you pay attention to it?" Zhang Yong smiled and asked.

"I don't feel any difference. I eat what I should eat and drink what I should drink. It's just that the city is dirtier. They are not as clean as the Central Plains cities." Guiyou said.

"Their drainage system is not perfect enough, but that's not what I'm talking about. In this land, all the kings or grand dukes, even the emperors of the empire.

During the coronation, the pope needs to send an archbishop to crown him. When ascending the throne, the ruler must kneel on the ground.

The coronation ceremony was completed by kneeling before the archbishop, the emissary sent by the pope, who then placed the crown on their head.

Becoming an emperor or king means enthroning is completed. "Zhang Yong said.

This was an unreasonable behavior in his opinion. When his grandfather Genghis Khan and his father Ogedei ascended the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, they only had to pray and kneel to the Immortal Heaven.

What does it mean to kneel down before someone else and then let someone put a crown on your head? Even his grandfather Genghis Khan did not let Wokuotai kneel down to accept the position of Great Khan of Mongol!

Although Batu surrendered them, he still sent nearly five thousand soldiers and horses to follow Zhang Yong and mobilize them at any time.

bring it on! Let’s try the great Eastern strategy first! This is just an appetizer.

To release these people, you must have the skills to release them. They must be made to think that they were extremely lucky to escape through their own efforts, instead of being released by the enemy.

After Zhang Yong's explanation, Guyu finally understood the secret.

In the Central Plains dynasty, women were not allowed to participate in politics, but their kings were usually princesses from other countries and had considerable natal power.

The forces in the city are divided into four groups, and they are not in harmony with each other. If I don't use a counter-intuitive plan, I will be sorry for you.

"If I were this Bella IV, I would definitely kill all these nobles. They don't obey my orders and still hold my land. Why should I give it to them?" Guyu said.

This Brother Zhang always has a lot on his mind. Every time he loses his composure, he is the one who comes forward. When he becomes the Great Khan of Mongolia in the future, he must take Brother Zhang with him and let him make suggestions for him.

Soon Guyuk arranged for a large number of Kipchak soldiers to guard the captured Templars and Archbishops.

Is this king too frustrated?

"So there are three forces in the city! There are four, the king, the nobles, the church, and the Kipchaks. These four forces control the largest army, and what we have to do is to divide them so that their power cannot be concentrated. Together." Zhang Yong said.

Or put their weapons closer to them, ask them to take off their belts or robes or something to hook them over, and prepare some small gifts for them. "Zhang Yong said.

So he couldn't kill the archbishop, let alone these Templar knights. He had to find a way to return them to the city and create trouble for the king.

"Brother Zhang, you are still the best. I never thought about this. I just wanted to trick them out of the city and then lead an army to fight them to the death." Guyu immediately said to Zhang Yong with great admiration.

Then they used a counter-intuitive strategy to make these temple knights and the archbishop firmly believe that the Kipchaks had completely surrendered to them and Mongolia was their enemy.

"Do as I say! Don't let them go too obviously. You must secretly weaken the guards, and then let them inadvertently miss some weapons, such as daggers.

"Haha! This is just a concept. Just treat it as local custom, so their king's power is not very great, and even their queen has huge power.

other. The small nobles in the region are similar to those in Mongolia. They are all vassals of the king. However, in the Kingdom of Hungary, their king had previously issued a decree called the Golden Edict, which prohibited the mobilization of the nobles' troops and the seizure of the nobles' lands. , the power of the nobles must not be weakened, the king has no right to do anything to the nobles. "Zhang Yong said.

These Kipchaks were soldiers sent by some Kipchak tribes. The real surrenderer of the Kipchak tribes must be Guyou.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean, these Western monarchs are too useless? They have become the masters of the country, but they still have to kneel to others, and they still have to accept others' canonization?" Guyu said.

After these Kipchaks arrived, Zhang Yong's attitude towards them was basically the same as that of the Russians. He also gave them military rations and treatment like ordinary soldiers, and did not bully or suppress them.

The treatment in Zhang Yong's army was even slightly better than that in Batu. Today these Kipchaks received a very strange and special task.

The Mongolian general asked them to detach 500 soldiers to guard a dozen prisoners, and ordered them to move around freely in front of the prisoners and communicate in the Kipchak language.

This is very strange. Guarding prisoners can only be done by a few soldiers. Isn't it a bit of a fuss to arrange more than 500 of them?

But since the order was issued from above, they still had to carry it out.

Soon, the captured Templars and Archbishop were locked in a cell, and their weapons and equipment were placed 2 meters away from the cage.

As for the war horses, they were placed more than twenty meters away from them, tied uniformly with ropes. The armor on the war horses had been removed, and now there was only a bare saddle on them.

Sitting in the cage, a dozen Templars surrounded Archbishop Hugo Lin, all of whom had their hands tied behind their backs.

"Have you all seen these people? My brothers, my compatriots, you have all seen it! They are Kipchaks." Hugo Lin said, looking at the Kipchaks moving around in front of him.

He knew, he knew, that it was absolutely impossible for those nomads, those barbarians, and those uncivilized pagans to convert to God easily.

They are just a bunch of extremely savage beasts! Taking them in is like taking in a pack of hungry wolves.

He had long warned Bela IV, King of Hungary, that there would be no good results from taking in these hungry wolves, but Bela IV would not listen to him.

Damn it, I was the one who gave them the conversion baptism at that time. I was really blind. How could I believe that these hungry wolves would accept the Lord’s conversion?

"Archbishop! It seems that these Kipchaks have already surrendered to the Mongols. They are not of the same mind as us at all." A Templar Knight said.

"These despicable guys, I know, I know they are not trustworthy, they never have been," another Templar said.

"What a pity! We are locked up here now. I am afraid that we will be ascended to the Lord's world and enter heaven soon. We cannot tell the people in the country about these shameful traitors." A baptized Templar knight from Hungary said. .

Becoming prisoners of the Mongols, their fate couldn't be simpler. Soon they would be sent to the gates of Pest and then executed in front of everyone.

The Mongols will definitely use extremely cruel methods to humiliate them, and then intimidate the people in the city and the defenders.

"Maybe we don't have a chance to escape. Just now, just now, I took advantage of the Mongolian's carelessness and secretly picked up a dagger." A Templar knight carefully pulled out a small dagger from his leg and threw it over.

"God bless God, he has not forgotten us or abandoned his people. It must be God's guidance that made you pick up this little dagger." Archbishop Hugo Lin said excitedly.

With this little dagger, they can do many things, such as unbinding all the Templars and themselves. Their hands were tied, but with this little dagger, two people, back to back, helping each other, could cut through the ropes.

After cutting the rope, they could wrap it around their hands and pretend to be captured, and a small dagger could be used as a weapon.

If someone brings them food in a while, with the skills of a dozen Templars, they can definitely catch them by surprise. "Everyone takes turns using small daggers to cut the ropes on their hands. Everyone back to back, let themselves be free first, and then wrap the rope around their wrists. Don't let these Kipchak traitors see anything and take a closer look." Hugolin was decisive. ordered.

Soon, more than a dozen Templars began to work in their hands. Working in pairs, they began to take turns using small daggers to untie the ropes on their hands.

By the afternoon of that day, all the Templars were basically free, but they still appeared to be tied up with ropes.

"I just observed that the armor and weapons are very close to us. We can use some ropes to weave a hook and then hook these weapons and armor over."

"No, just hook the weapon over. If you hook the armor, it will cause a huge noise when it falls to the ground, which will attract these guys." Hugolin shook his head and said.

The weight of armor is very huge, especially heavy armor made of high-speed rail. It will make a thumping sound when dropped to the ground.

It is the wisest choice to hook the weapons over. Each of them only carries a long sword.

"I just observed that our war horses are not far from us. Although the armor on the war horses has been removed, fortunately the saddles are still there. As long as we can let these war horses be free, we can ride on the war horses. Then rush out under the cover of night," Hugolin said.

They are really a bunch of extremely barbaric nomads, they are so backward. Although they seem to be closely guarded, there are loopholes everywhere.

How could I lose to such a group of guys? It must be that the troops I led were too few, and the news of my going to war must have been shamefully spread by the Kipchak traitors in the city, which made the Mongolian army prepare.

Hugolin felt very strange. His goal when he left the city was to kill the nuns who were having fun under the city, as well as some Mongolian noble soldiers.

But these people had already mounted their horses and started running away before he left the city. In order to pursue them, they were led into an ambush circle and were besieged by a large number of Mongolian cavalry, which led to their defeat.

The news of his going to war must have been spread out in advance by these shameful scum. Otherwise, how could the Mongols take action in advance? Set up an ambush circle in advance and retreat in advance.

Don't let me go back. After I go back, I must find out these Kipchak traitors and let the king and the people know the true face of these guys.

After being imprisoned for a full day, these captured Templars had not yet been able to eat.

"Are these guys planning to starve us to death?" said a Templar who was already exhausted from hunger.

Damn it, if you are not executed, give us a good time! This feeling of hunger is really uncomfortable.

"Wait a little longer. Since they have captured us, they must want to take us prisoner. What conditions can they negotiate that won't starve us all to death? Just be patient a little longer. This is God's test for us." Yu. Guolin looked at the Kipchaks who were eating beside him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and spoke.

Is there any mistake? It's been a day since they were captured, and they haven't gotten a drop of water yet!

If this continues, their chance to escape will be missed. By then, let alone running, standing up will be a problem.

Hungry makes people's heads dizzy, and sometimes makes them unclear about things. This is also one of the orders conveyed by Zhang Yong. He must starve them for a day and a night before giving them food.

That night, Zhang Yong suddenly announced that he would reward the three armies. He had won a big victory yesterday and would distribute meat and wine to all the armies. Most of the Kipchak guards who were responsible for guarding also left, leaving only a dozen or so. Personal custody of these prisoners.

These Qingcha people who were unable to attend the celebration banquet seemed very regretful. They sat around a bonfire and chatted listlessly, hoping that when their companions came back, they might be able to bring them some meat and wine.

After Hugo Lin saw this phenomenon, he knew that an opportunity had come. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come. The Mongols were holding a celebration banquet. This was a good opportunity for them to escape.

Although they were exhausted from hunger, a dozen Templars still managed to sit up.

A group of Templar Knights immediately took action, quietly loosened the ropes on their hands, and then started to use the braided hook rope to pick up the weapons and swords next to them.

Soon these Templars each had a long sword.

At this time, it was time for dinner. Since they were captured, they hadn't eaten a single meal!

Two Kipchak cavalrymen opened the cell door and walked in, carrying a basin of rice similar to pig food.

"time to eat!"

"Woo!" A pair of big hands suddenly covered his mouth, and a long sword wiped his throat.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a dozen Templar knights suddenly rose up and knocked down several Qinchao who were responsible for delivering meals with long swords.

Then he quickly came out with a sword and directly chopped down a dozen Kipchaks who were sitting by the campfire and responsible for guarding.

Several Templars even went over to check and confirm the identities of these guys.

"These traitors will go to hell. We don't have that much time. Find our horses quickly and search the camp.

Then get on your horses and get out of here, and God willing, we'll get out alive tonight. "Hugolin was staggering when he walked, and he said, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry."

Even if the things on the ground looked like pig food, he wanted to pounce on it and take a bite. Several other Templars had the same idea.

It was already night, nearly thirty hours had passed since they were captured, and they were really hungry.

A group of knights began to look for useful things in the camp, such as delicious dried meat. This type of dried meat was usually found in the tents of nomads.

"Archbishop, I found a secret letter in their camp tent. It was well sealed with sealing wax. It should be a piece of military intelligence." A Templar Knight ran over and said.

When he was searching the Kipchak tent for useful items, he found some letters in the largest tent in the middle.

There were more than a dozen letters, which were placed in a very secret corner, but he was still discovered by his careful mind.

"Really? It seems that we have found something very crucial. I hope these will be useful to us. When we return to the city, we will find someone who can speak Kipchak.

Everyone, come back to the city with me. There will be plenty of food waiting for us. We must leave quickly. Hugo Lin said.

This time, not only did he successfully escape, but he also discovered the conspiracy of these Kipchaks and even received several intelligence letters from the Mongols.

The Templar knights nodded, and then, encouraged by the food, a dozen Templars mounted their horses and rushed out of the Mongolian camp as if they were flying, heading towards the city of Pest.

After being held captive for two days and one night, Archbishop Hugolin finally returned to the city with more than a dozen Templars on the night of the second day with difficulty.

Hugolin believes that this is all God's blessing.
