() The Marquise of Serbia provided by Governor Osijek gave Suleiman a long-lost sleep.

The Marquise was also satisfied, and Suleiman would most likely wake up the next day promising to give her husband a thousand armors and command all the Serbian tribes between the Drava and Sava rivers.

It's a pity that none of this happened, Ladislaus was really a hateful person to the Marchioness and her husband.

Suleiman failed to wake up comfortably the next day, but was woken up by the chief executive shortly after falling asleep.

The news that the Austrian army had conquered Bolch within a few hours caused Suleiman to leave Tenderland immediately, and even bid farewell to the Marquise.

The Marquise didn't know what was going on and saw Suleiman calling Ibrahim's name while striding away anxiously.

"Can I leave?" Although she knew that the chief executive was a eunuch, the Marquise asked after she got dressed.

She has not accepted that eunuchs are not men like most Ottoman concubines.

Nor does she intend to adapt.

Not all women want to join Suleiman's harem. Although the Serbian du li country has long since perished, they basically still believe in Cyric and Mystra, who support the monogamy system.

It's one thing to sleep with powerful men, it's quite another to be part of a harem who may never see a man in his life.

"It's up to you. You can stay, but I'll only recommend you this time. It's up to your own luck later." The chief executive didn't know about other deals, and he only wanted to benefit from the Governor of Osiena .

Although the Ottoman sultans emphasized monopoly.But Suleiman generally did not force women either.

"No, I want to leave. About my husband?"

"I can't do anything about it." The chief executive said while handing the marquise a beautiful silk bag.

The bag woven of the most exquisite cloth was filled with a bag full of gold dust, and there were two pearls bigger than a thumb.

Although it is not as good as a thousand armors, it is enough to reflect the hospitality of the Ottoman Sultan.

A night of passion, a bag of private money and two orbs from the Aegean Sea were enough to make the Marquis leave in a fairly happy mood.

As for her husband being disappointed, that's up to her, anyway, she is also from a well-matched wealthy family.

In fact, they have been separated for many years, each with their own lovers.

This time it's just for the child's sake.The Marquise will only act in this capacity, of course she didn't suffer anyway.

When the chief steward sent the marquise away, Suleiman had completely forgotten about the woman.

He had already started an emergency meeting. Only he and Ibrahim attended the meeting. There were many Ottomans who received urgent reports, but they were all blocked by the eunuchs.

At this time, Suleiman only needs the brains of himself and Ibrahim.

"How could it be so fast?!" Ibrahim seemed to hear a trace of panic in Suleiman's voice.But he couldn't be sure, because even if Suleiman did panic, it was only for a moment.

Bolchi is different from the camp on the north bank of the Delaware River. This is a city with a wall to defend it. It stands to reason that it can fight for the army for several days.

However, the news brought by Bolchi's defeat greatly violated the expectations of the Ottoman monarchs and ministers.

None of the soldiers who besieged Anna in the first wave escaped Bolchi alive, and the survivors were all soldiers on the walls from other directions.

They only knew that a city gate suddenly collapsed, and then the Austrian army suddenly rushed in.Suddenly the city fell.

"I think the first task is to decide whether to continue to retreat south or take advantage of the enemy's temporary loss of superiority on the river to launch a counterattack." The Austrian River Fleet is still active on the Danube, and the Ottoman army can attack the Austrians westward.

In order to cross the Drava River, the pursuing Austrian army broke away from the Danube slightly, so that the retreating party seemed to have an opportunity.

Ibrahim's suggestion made Suleiman's eyes shine, and he turned around and slammed to win another Mohachi-level victory.This is the best way to save the situation.

Fighting with your head held high is also in line with Suleiman's nature.

The enemy behind neither accepted the battle nor disengaged. With the advantage of the fleet, the Ottomans could not comfortably replenish.At the same time, the Ottoman army is in high tension all the time. If this enemy is not destroyed, it will be very difficult to cross the Sava River.

If you can turn around and make a surprise attack and capture the main force of the Austrian army to fight, then not only the safety of the army will be guaranteed, but also part of the conquest results will be preserved.

The plain between the Drava River, the Sava River, and the Danube River, the Samaria Plain should be able to be preserved, and it will also be helpful for the next move to win over the powerful Hungarian faction.

But not long after, he drove the tempting thoughts out of his head and shook his head: "It's too risky to pin your hopes on the enemy's mistakes. The enemy now controls the key bridge on the Drava River, and they can advance or retreat. Even if the fleet is lost, as long as the cavalry is still there, we still cannot force them to fight a decisive battle, and going back in vain will consume too much of our already dangerous food reserves."

"Then we have to speed up the organization to cross the Sava River." Although the cavalry is not always reliable, there is a chance of breakthrough, but judging from the strength shown by the Austrians, Ibrahim also knows that his proposal has little chance . "I again suggested that I go to the south to organize the river crossing. We lost a lot of ships when crossing the Drava River. There is no usable bridge on the Sava River. It will take us two to three days to cross the whole army."

"Send an envoy to let Said and Zhuo speed up." Suleiman resolutely refused to change the order overnight, which would damage his prestige and shake the troops' morale.

"Then at least cancel the plan to rest for one day, and continue going south tomorrow morning." Ibrahim knew that his monarch valued his credit very much, and he would never damage it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now is the time of last resort.

"Although the Bolchi defenders had only 1000 men, they were conquered in a few hours. The Austrian army is really a powerful army in the world. It is not comparable to the Persian or Hungarian army. It may be comparable to the black army back then." Ibrahimpa Xia tried to illustrate the danger of the situation with examples from history. "In the next few days we should cancel the midnight rest and retreat as soon as possible."

The record of the Black Army is the most glorious page in the history of Hungary.

Matthias I of the Hunyadi family launched a rebellion after his father was executed by Ladislaus' grandfather of the same name, Ladislaus V, expelled the protagonist's grandfather from Hungary, and established himself as king.

Then he formed a standing army ahead of its time, occupying Vienna in the west and rejecting the Ottomans in the east, winning brief but extremely glorious honors for Hungary.

Although different armies in different eras, it is difficult to compare combat effectiveness because of the development of weapons, but this evaluation shows that the victory of Ladislaus made Ibrahim further increase his expectations for the combat effectiveness of his troops.

But Suleiman hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "Our soldiers are already very tired, and more importantly, canceling the planned rest will cause panic. The enemy cannot be that strong, no matter how elite the troops are. It is also impossible to conquer Balchi in a few hours. It must have used a powerful magic to conquer Balqi so quickly. Maybe it was the magic of the ring of the red robe mage. This is an extremely expensive tactic, and the enemy will not easily attack it again. Use. They are still more than two days away from us. Osijek will not be captured so easily. As long as the city by the river is defended, the enemy's supply efficiency will drop sharply. It is getting farther and farther away from Vienna and Buda. They should be dying too."

Osijek was not on the retreat route of the Ottoman army and could not protect the army, but it blocked the Austrian army's transportation line, which could reduce the combat effectiveness of Ladislaus.

Suleiman told all the reasons for his decision, not to Ibrahim, but to sort out his own thoughts.

If Ladislaus were here, he would definitely praise this monarch as the one who pushed the Ottoman Empire to its peak. He is indeed brilliant.

Of course, Ibrahim's poor performance was also because he was too worried and unable to concentrate.

'Anyway, let's study it together. ' These words have been in Ibrahim's throat for a long time, but he did not dare to say them after all.

It is not a good thing for Suleiman to only listen to his opinion. He is in charge of the intelligence department. Become the public enemy of the Turkish nobles.

Suleiman's favor was to kill him.

But did you really not expect the unpredictable monarch in front of you?

Ibrahim didn't know, just as he didn't know whether Suleiman wanted someone to study with tonight or just needed an audience.

Companion is like a tiger.

"Your Majesty clearly sees that the enemy must be at the end of their battles, but as long as they continue to follow, it will be difficult for us to cross the Sava River. Please Your Majesty lead the main force to cross the river and let the ministers come to meet the so-called warlock royal family for a while." Ibu Rahim Pasha finally spoke again and took the initiative to undertake the most dangerous task.

This is the most dangerous task, but Ibrahim has no choice. Although Suleiman has brought him a lot of hatred tonight, he has indeed given him the greatest honor.

He can only do his best to repay the monarch's kindness.

Suleiman looked up at his most capable subordinate, and this time he did not refuse the other party's invitation to fight again: "Okay, okay, okay, only after the strong wind blows will you know which grass is really tenacious, and you will only know which subordinate is in danger. Be truly loyal, I will give you [-] cavalry, please return to Istanbul alive, my Grand Vizier."

In Suleiman's words, he promised Ibrahim the long-vacant Grand Vizier.

The Ottoman Empire's position under one person and under ten thousand people is usually only granted to members of the royal family and the descendants of the founding ministers. It is only one step away from Ibrahim, but there is an abyss under this step. (To be continued., (.) Vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. m... Read.
