Chapter 100: The idea of ??digging a wall

See Joan of Arc?

The news about Wolfgang is really well-versed. He only rescued Joan of Arc yesterday. Originally, Bai Zhou did not tell too many people about this. There were not many people in Xi Qin who knew about this. It was probably only Frank who knew about the people outside.

Bai Zhou didn't know where Wolfgang learned, but it was nothing more than the information he got from Weifu. After all, the people of Western Qin who were stationed in Basel would definitely not hide the news from Weifu. Although Weifu has always been cautious, this matter was not a secret that he had to hide, so it was normal for Wolfgang to inquire.

Perhaps, Bai Zhou could imagine that Wei Fu learned in the letter that he was so "nonsense" and got angry in the camp, and then happened to be heard by Wolfgang.

"Why, it seems you don't know her." Bai Zhou said. As far as he knows, in the past twenty years since Joan of Arc was born, not to mention "going abroad", even leaving her countryside hometown was only two years ago. She left her hometown just to defeat the English and Burgundians. As for those who remained relatively neutral in this battle, there was no reason to have any contact with Joan of Arc.

"I found that there are so many problems with the Duke. Do I have to know her before I can see her?" Wolfgang sorted out his collar. A guy like him who was of noble origin was very careful of his appearance, even if it was only a short while, even if the wind was a little bit stronger, swelling the corners of his clothes.

"I can't make the decision about this matter. Joan of Arc is just my guest. I have no right to decide whether she wants to see you. If you really want to see her, I can let my guards take you there, but whether she sees her or not, it's not my business." Bai Zhou left the words here. Joan of Arc was not a prisoner of their Xiqin, nor was his own spoil. Xiqin respected her decision now and would not say anything to force her to do, even if it was just to meet someone.

"Thank you very much." Wolfgang seemed not surprised that Bai Zhou said such irresponsible words. After all, what is "Joan of Arc just my guest"? This is just a verbal statement. In fact, Joan of Arc has no freedom and is actually not very different from prisoners. What Xi Qin asked her to do? As long as she did not violate her bottom line, she would have no reason to refuse. What's more, the person she wanted her to meet was the third prince of the Holy Roman Empire, with his identity, status, and even power.

In fact, Joan of Arc was a smart woman. This kind of intelligence not only refers to her military achievements (it would be nonsense if she simply attributes Joan of Arc's military achievements to God, but if her role is simply to increase the morale of the French troops, it seems that it is not convincing enough, because everyone knows that although morale was a crucial attribute in the era of cold weapons fighting, it was never the only element to determine the outcome of a battle. You must know that when the English and Burgundian coalition forces won consecutive battles, their morale was not much worse when facing the French royal family. This proves that Joan of Arc was a natural commander. Although she may not be excellent enough, at least it is okay to be qualified. After all, if an army only relies on high morale and boiling blood to fight, it will often die faster.), but it means that she is also very smart in dealing with people and affairs.

Not to mention that on the way to fleeing Switzerland from east to east, she has always cooperated with Bai Zhou's decision and has never proposed any plans to make Bai Zhou embarrassed. Just say that in Basel, although the people of Xiqin treat her like a guest, she knows in her heart that if she is really a guest, she would have requested to return to France long ago. The reason why she is still resting in Basel safely is because she knows that if Xiqin wants to return to France, even if she doesn't mention it, they will immediately prepare for this matter. If Xiqin rescues herself for other purposes, then if she makes such a request, it will only cause a rift between the two parties.

This unnecessary crack will avoid creating it for anyone with a little bit of mind.

Many people in later generations said that Joan of Arc's political IQ was negative, and maybe it was true, but Bai Zhou did not dare to agree with this sentence rashly for the time being, because the Joan of Arc he saw now did not show any naivety in politics. Although what happened in history also happened in this time and space, how to say it, just like a person being betrayed by a friend, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine before betrayed.

What is the relationship between Joan of Arc and the current King of Dharma, Charles VII? It can be said that without Joan of Arc, Charles VII could not have been a prince; without Joan of Arc, Charles VII would not have been crowned in the Cathedral of Reims; without Joan of Arc, it would have been impossible for the Hundred Years War to fight for another hundred years.

And obviously, although Joan of Arc won many times, Charles VII has been working hard for logistics and soldiers to supplement such things. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe Charles VII's relationship with Joan of Arc as a friend of life and death. If Joan of Arc was not born in poverty, and Charles had already married, he would not say that the Dharma King would propose to marry Joan of Arc (of course, with Joan of Arc's personality, even if the Dharma King made this request, it would be unlikely that she would agree).

It can be said that these two people are typical of sharing hardships and hardships, but they saved France when the national crisis was in the face of a crisis, but after the external danger was eliminated, there were conflicts due to some other things. In the end, Joan of Arc, who was in the position of a weak person, was betrayed without surprise. Even now, she thought that her capture was just an accident, and the Dharma King must have begun to prepare the ransom when she was captured.

Bai Zhou, who is familiar with this history, doesn't want to tell Joan of the facts. After all, Bai Zhou also knows that it seems to be a very cruel thing to tell her the truth. Besides, it is very likely that Joan of the Arc would think that he is just provoking her relationship with the Dharma King, so why bother?

Perhaps if he could meet Giles again, he would explain the whole story of the matter clearly to Joan of Arc. Moreover, with his relationship with Joan of Arc, 80% of the betrayed woman would listen to him. Therefore, there is no need for Bai Zhou to act as the narrator, at most he would touch him indirectly.

After all, it would be unrealistic to say that Bai Zhou had no idea about the epic general Joan of Arc. If anyone else wanted to receive his subordinates, the problem was that before she completely gave up on the Dharma King, Bai Zhou felt that the corners of the wall were not so easy to dig.

Now that Wolfgang wants to see Joan of Arc, there is no need to object, but there is no need to express his agreement with "passionately". According to Bai Zhou's guess, any noble who has heard of this woman's name will want to see who she is in person. Of course, the English want her to die and want to see her even more. If this prince wants Joan of Arc to join their Holy Roman Empire, because Bai Zhou remembers that Frederick (Barbarossa) is also very interested in Joan of Arc, then he doesn't mind handing the first hoe down to the prince's palace to swing.

Bai Zhou smiled at Wolfgang, showing kindness in routine, and then asked Mi Chuan to take him to meet Joan of Arc. Speaking of which, Bai Zhou was very curious about why Wolfgang wanted to meet Joan of Arc in person, but he didn't have so much time to gossip now. The army was approaching, and Bai Zhou still had a lot of things to deal with. So after seeing Mi Chuan and Wolfgang and his group, he went in another direction - the five thousand new recruits led by Wei Fu were temporarily stationed outside the city.
