Chapter 61 Giles

According to the information obtained, it should be when Joan of Arc was just captured, that is, Joan of Arc is still in the hands of the Burgundians and does not have time to "sell" it to the English.

Yes, it can indeed be called "selling", because the Burgundians also had a headache about how to deal with Joan of Arc. If they were ordinary French nobles, they could redeem their lives and freedom through ransom, but this was Joan of Arc, a nobleman who was not a noble, a woman with a high reputation among the French people, and a woman who could not kill the Burgundians and dared not let them go. Therefore, they had to sell her to the English who also hated her very much. In other words, the Burgundians did not have the courage to solve this hot potato.

So for Western Qin, it seems that it is not a very difficult thing to exchange for Joan of Arc. After all, the Burgundians did not have the courage to keep Joan of Arc in their own hands. So, since someone was willing to accept Joan of Arc, they could even take out two local noble prisoners of Burgundy to exchange them. The Duke of Burgundy should not have any reason to refute. But the problem is that Duke John is not stupid. Although he dared not execute Joan of Arc, he could use a knife to kill people. If it really develops according to history, the Duke of Burgundy did so, selling Joan of Arc to the English who also hated her very much, because Duke John knew that Joan of Arc would not survive in the hands of the English.

But if he was asked to sell Joan of Arc to the Western Qin people, it would be completely different. Joan of Arc was his enemy, and the Western Qin was also his enemy, and the enemy of the enemy was his friend. Everyone understood this sentence. I think the Duke of Burgundy also understood that if the Western Qin redeem Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc would definitely be able to survive. This is definitely not what the Burgundians would want to see. They had put such great efforts into exchange for some money? Obviously this was impossible.

Besides, there is another thing that Bai Zhou has to consider. Even though Duke John of Burgundy did not turn around for a while and agreed to the Western Qin request, when facing Joan of Arc, what would Bai Zhou have to do to persuade Joan of Arc to continue attacking Burgundy to relieve the positive pressure of the Western Qin people?

Yes, Joan of Arc did not have any favors to the Burgundians. Whether it was national hatred or family hatred, Joan of Arc had ten thousand reasons to conquer Burgundy. In fact, it was also because she kept asking the King of Dharma to give her reinforcements to attack Burgundy that the fuse was ignited, which eventually led the King of Dharma to betray the woman who had great kindness to him. To analyze it alone, once Joan of Arc regained his freedom, he would definitely continue her "great cause" of attacking Burgundy. With her unparalleled appeal, even without the support of the King of Dharma, she could cause considerable trouble to the Burgundians, thereby giving important support to the Western Qin people.

But if it were replaced by Bourgos in Joan of Arc, would he agree with this condition? Bourgos did not know, but he only knew that the best way for Joan of Arc was to allow the Burgundians to fight against the Western Qin people, and when both sides were in trouble, they would attack the territory of Burgundy, which would inevitably be able to exchange the smallest losses for the greatest victory. After all, even if Burgundy conquered Switzerland, it would not be possible to exchange the population of this barren land for troops in a short time, and at the same time, they would also divide their original troops, resulting in the empty defense of Burgundy. Of course, this best strategy for France is not good news for Western Qin.

Can you only use the method of "being kind to the gentle"? Let Joan of Arc know that Xi Qin has great kindness to her. It was Xi Qin who saved her life and thus will work hard to help Xi Qin? It seems even more unreliable. It should be noted that Joan of Arc, the "naive" 19-year-old girl, believed that the Dharma King would exchange ransom for her life the moment before she was executed. She firmly believed that the Dharma King would not give up on herself. So, if Xi Qin redeems her now, would she be "gratitude" or two? She might think that this group of aliens had ulterior motives.

"However, no matter what, this first step still needs to be taken. Joan of Arc must be rescued. Even if she really decides to allow Burgundy to attack Switzerland, it will make Burgundy worry about it and dare not put all its troops in." Bai Zhou decided not to consider so much for the time being. After all, it would be a little too early to consider how to maximize the use of Joan of Arc.

"Young Master, there is a guest who calls himself the Baron of France who said he wants to see you. He is waiting in the side hall now." The person who came was named Mi Chuan, who is the current secret camp. However, he usually reported that such small things did not require him to come in person. Then, he handed Bai Zhou a sheepskin letter: "He asked me to give you this letter."

After saying that, Mi Chuan retreated.

Nowadays, I am not worried about the strange things like anthrax hidden in the envelope, so there is no reason why Xi Qin has any doubts about this letter of "unknown origin".

"Jorkani Anto? It's been a long time since I saw you." Bai Zhou opened the letter, habitually looked at the signature first, and found that the one indicated was Hall. It seems that the French Baron and Hall knew each other, and it is probably because of Hall that the Baron was qualified to wait directly in the side hall. Otherwise, it was during the war now, and Basel would definitely not agree to an unknown guy entering. Even so, the Baron must have been "accompanied" by many people and came to the city lord's mansion.

There was not much written in the letter, but the greetings were inevitable as usual, and he also said that he was in France now and lived a good life. Bai Zhou couldn't help but smile. Obviously, as the leader of the mercenary, Joer, naturally, the more chaotic he went, the better his life would be.

Then he talked about how he met the French Baron named Giles Les, and said that he was in trouble now, so Joel suggested that he go to Switzerland to try his luck. However, Joel was vague in his heart about the trouble that the baron had encountered. What was the trouble that the French Baron came to him without asking for help from the King of War?

It’s not because of Joan of Arc, it’s so amazing. If you’re really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. Originally, Bai Zhou was still considering what reason to redeem Joan of Arc without being too "ulterior motives". If the person came really was for the Orleans girl, it would be difficult for Bai Zhou to not laugh secretly.

Wait, Giles, Giles, Giles, Ray Les, and Bai Zhou couldn't help but swear a few times. If this ruthless man was really this, then his arrival was indeed for Joan of Arc.
