Chapter 142: The hero's return

People are the slaughter and I am the fish. Philip has never heard of this idiom, but his current feelings can be described by this idiom.

Of course, this is not what Bai Zhou needs to care about. If I had known this day, why should I have been there? Originally, Xi Qin entered Switzerland, but its foundation was unstable. Bai Zhou just wanted to protect himself. In a short period of time, he had no other ideas and no strength to expand. But the Burgundians came over, and Xi Qin chose the latter without hesitation between the two options of bowing down and rising to resist.

To this day, Burgundy, which was defeated by a tragic defeat, is already extremely weak, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers have died, which means that Burgundy has lost the qualification to continue to "stand" on the Europa continent.

Even if Western Qin had no idea about Burgundy, the English would never have any kindness towards their former friend, and would definitely show their sharp minions. As the heir to the Golden Flower Rage Dynasty, Richard, the Duke of Normandy, came to Switzerland personally as an envoy, of course, not to plead for Burgundy.

The Holy Roman Empire, which had always seemed to be transcendent, was determined to prepare for the southward journey, and by reason, he could not do much energy to fight the west. But now Burgundy is just a piece of fish on a chopping board, and the fat and tender fish that even the bones were pulled away. Frederick had no reason not to intervene.

As for France, if they insisted on getting a piece of the pie this time, they would not be able to compete with the strength of Xiqin alone, but the current situation is hard to say. After all, without France, England and the Holy Roman Empire could still digest Burgundy without even the residue of bones. In the face of these two kingdoms, France, which was poor and weak, was not qualified to compete with it.

So, what Bai Zhou hoped to get was such a result. With the help of external forces, he squeezed out France from this dining table. At the same time, he also had to ensure that he could still eat meat in front of those two giants, rather than just drinking soup.

"Sir, Winkreid and Tell, they are here."

Just as Bai Zhou was ready to hold a "friendly and in-depth" talk with the future Lionheart King and the Holy Roman Empire, Mi Chuan brought a somewhat inexplicable news.

"What are they here? Are they the only two?" Bai Zhou asked, and his pace stopped. Although it is very important to discuss and discuss matters about Burgundy with the envoys from both sides. It can be said that it is related to the future development of Xi Qin, but this kind of strategy is not in a hurry. But Winkreid and Tuier, two heroes who were famous in the entire Europa in later generations, have now come to Basel, which has forced Bai Zhou to be interested and must also pay attention to it.

"They also brought a unit, three or four thousand people."

Bai Zhou kind of understood what was going on.

The battle with Burgundy has ended for more than ten days. The major kingdoms each have their own intelligence systems and have learned about the situation of the battle in a relatively timely manner. Relatively speaking, the news in Switzerland, which is closer to Basel, is seriously lagging behind.

After all, the entire Basel had been cleared by the coalition forces, and there was no civilian around him who had nothing to do with the war. Therefore, ordinary Swiss civilians did not even know how far the battle had progressed. Weifu, who was far away in Bern, naturally received a letter of victory. He put down his stones in his heart and conveyed the news to the people of the Western Qin tribe. However, he did not tell the news to the Swiss locals. Perhaps in Weifu's eyes, the war did not affect the civilians much, so there was no need to tell them the result.

The Swiss civilians did not know, and the Swiss, who had slightly more status as Winkreid and William Trell, had no source of intelligence, did not know how far the war was going.

Originally, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with the Swiss. After all, in essence, even if the Western Qin was defeated, it was nothing more than changing from one ruler to another. The Swiss were still at the bottom of the society.

However, since the Western Qin took over Switzerland, the "brutality" of those nobles was obvious to all, but it was surprisingly good to treat all civilians. Not only did it reduce taxes, but it even distributed the land that originally belonged to those nobles to every Swiss person according to their heads.

The desire for land is the commonality of every farmer, and this commonality is regardless of nationality.

Winkreid and Tull asked themselves that under the boss, these civilians may not be as good as those who live now, let alone the Burgundy who may be killed.

The home is protected by people. The Swiss do not want their homes to be destroyed like this, so they resolutely decided to recruit soldiers privately - most of them were the original three thousand guards, although these guards did not have to worry about food and drink (all those who were in distress were recruited by Weifu), but at the call of Winkrid and Tuier, they picked up their weapons again, took out their armor, and once again formed a unit of nearly four thousand people.

Of course, their slogan is to defend their homes, not to help Xi Qin. Although the process is the same, the purpose is different after all, so that they, the proud guys who originally said they would not surrender to Xi Qin, would also be more acceptable.

However, they did not expect that as soon as they reached the front line of the war, they found that the war had already ended, and tens of thousands of Burgundy soldiers seemed to have been wiped out overnight.

The two of them were completely shocked. How could they not know the combat effectiveness of the surrounding countries? But even so, Burgundy was not only defeated, but also defeated miserably, and even if they were completely unable to protect their own homeland, they both sighed: Maybe God is really fighting on the side of Western Qin.

"So, are you really going to help me?" Bai Zhou smiled faintly, looking at the two people in front of him, wearing weapons on his waist and chain armor, looking like he was preparing to go into battle to kill the enemy.

These two men rarely blushed at the same time. Tui Er responded: "I made the adult laugh and couldn't help me. Then we will go back first. I heard that there are still a few guests here, so Winkreid and I won't disturb you."

"Wait," Bai Zhou called them, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say for a moment. After all, he defeated Switzerland, which was originally guarded by them, and the eldest son died in front of them. Some words were really not suitable to say from his mouth: "No matter what, thank you."

"No need to thank us, we are not here to help you." Winkreid returned to his former appearance and looked at Baizhou coldly, as if he was so hatred: "We just don't want those civilians to be ravaged by the Burgundians again, not to help you."

"But the process is the same, they are all fighting against Burgundy. Although you think our goals are different, I, Bai Zhou, can tell you with certainty that my purpose is the same as you, protecting their respective tribesmen. If the tribesmen of our two sides cannot coexist, then we may be hostile to each other. But after these days, I believe you have also discovered that we can actually live a good life. In other words, Switzerland, this land is not only the people you need to protect, but also the people I need to protect." Bai Zhou said a long passage in one breath, which may be in Bai Zhou's mind. With the ability of Winkrid and Tui'er, if you stay at home for the rest of your life and die in bed, it is undoubtedly a huge waste, and Bai Zhou does not want them to sink into it. Therefore, these things Bai Zhou was not going to say were still said.

This time, the two of them personally led the army, which means that they are actually inseparable from the battlefield. If they were really discouraged, they would never have such a plan to lead the army.

"You mean..." I have to say that Bai Zhou's words really made Winkrid and Tui'er feel a little moved.

"Since we have a common purpose, why not join forces? I believe that with your ability and Tui'er, we can train a Swiss iron army that surprised the world." Bai Zhou felt like a strange uncle holding a lollipop, even though at his current age, he should call Winkreid the uncle.

"No one likes to fight, I just want to protect my home. If anyone dares to destroy this tranquility, then I, Winkreid, will fight to the end even if I fight this life. But if you want me to conquer Burgundy with you, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will disappoint you." Winkreid thought he had seen through Bai Zhou's meaning. After all, the four thousand soldiers under him, based on the former Grand Duke's personal guards, were also quite elite combat power, and no noble would be interested in this soldier.

"Wrong, you're completely wrong. With the territory of Switzerland, there is almost no depth. If you just defend, what time do you think you can defend? At that time, you are afraid that you will really have to fight for your life, but you may not be able to defend Switzerland. And our only way out is to use attack instead of defense, constantly show our minions to others, and constantly conquer other people's land. This is the only way we can survive."

In fact, in history, the Swiss survived tenaciously with such a little place in Switzerland. Even during the two world wars, although they were at the center of the storm, they were not affected at all. However, in order to tie Winkreid and Tuier and himself to a warship, Bai Zhou said something a little exaggerated, but they didn't know the direction of history anyway.

"If you want to protect your family, you must make efforts. If you don't give your own blood, you must give other people's blood. In this era of cannibalism, who do you think can be safe?" Bai Zhou continued.

"And if we hadn't had the luck of Western Qin and had repelled the Burgundians, what would you think it would be useful to rely on you, the four thousand soldiers? Then, not only would you replace it with four thousand corpses, but your family will never get shelter. But now, don't you want to take revenge? Let others see that we are not easy to mess with in Switzerland. If anyone dares to conquer us, we will retaliate with the same means. Only in this way can others be concerned about us, and those forces that are eyeing us will carefully consider it before taking action against us, and see if it is worth it."

"This..." Winkrid and Tull found that they could not say anything at this time, and seemed to have been persuaded by Bai Zhou. "This way, when you conquer Switzerland, Tull and I will lead the soldiers to follow you on the war, this is to retaliate against the war brought to us by the Burgundians. As for our future path, I hope that the Lord can give us enough freedom."

"This is of course, we are companions, not just relationships between superiors and subordinates."

After getting on the pirate ship, is there any reason to escape unscathed? As long as the two of them can lead Swiss soldiers to join the combat sequence of Western Qin this time, Bai Zhou believes that in the future, they will still obey their orders.

After all, the passion on the battlefield is not something that any aspiring man can give up. Wink Reed and Tuier are not the kind of person who can endure loneliness for the rest of his life...
