Chapter 74: One Arrow, Many Carvings

ps: I went to buy a book today. After buying the book, my first feeling was why communism was not realized... The second feeling that came to my mind was why I also wrote a book, but I couldn’t feel that.

This kind of rush to sell books and make a lot of money... In the end, the feeling of impact on the brain is a

It felt like someone was stabbing my heart with a knife, and the pain was sharp again and again... If you are confused, what I want to say is that I went to buy books in preparation for the start of school today, even though I had prepared enough

I was mentally prepared, but I was instantly overwhelmed by the sky-high price of books! Damn, four books only

Selling it for 1,100! And it’s tax-free! For 1,100, if I add 8% tax, I can buy an Alien laptop! Put on three spare tires, buy a round-trip ticket back to China, and get it for 5 yuan each

Zhang, damn it, I can make the nightclub striptease kneel down and lick her! What makes me even sadder is,

The seven books I spent 1,000+ on in the past were only worth 78! 78! Damn, 78! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Is this selling by the pound? New York Stock Market Index Maniac

Falling! The property market bubble exploded! Anyway, I was injured again... I have to lie down for a few days to recover...

No matter how hard Karl Twelve fights, it will only be a moment of brilliant glory before it withers away.

This may seem a bit sentimental and refreshing, but it is the truth.

After more than ten days of battles, Karl XII's army was at the end of its tether, but defeating all the East Prussian troops blocking Karl Twelve did not mean that Karl Twelve could break out of the siege.

Because in front of Karl XII, there is still a river.

If you want to cross the river, there are only two ways, have enough boats, or capture Königsberg, which connects the two banks.

Karl XII's situation was that he had no ships. Königsberg was still in the hands of the local East Prussian nobles. When he wanted to attack the city, we came up from behind. Karl XII immediately retreated, and finally I was in a

The small village surrounded him and his army.

Looking at the Swedish army that has become a turtle in a urn, I couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that this is not China in the Far East."

"Why?" Mr. Komnenos, who happened to be next to him, blinked.

"This way I can sing Farewell My Concubine to the Swedish army on the opposite side."

"Ah? The powerful warlord said goodbye to the dancer? What is that?" Old cousin Komnenos had a black line on his head.

When I heard this, I also had a black line in my head.

Your sister, how full of sadness, how full of classical romantic love, what a thrilling title, how could it become such a vulgar thing after being converted into Greek? The powerful warlord said goodbye to the dancing girl. I was dizzy, and I thought it was...

The soldier went to a restaurant and had sex all night, making his sister very comfortable!

"You really should go back and read more about the story that Emperor Ruinstein wrote when he used it to seduce the female nobles of the empire." I asked my old cousin, who had been a bachelor for more than 20 years, to go back and read more books. I then asked him to reorganize the army.

Set up camp on the spot.

I have other ideas about how to deal with Karl XII and his army. First of all, I will never annihilate them here. The cunning rabbit will die and the lackeys will be cooked. I have heard too many stories, and the Swedes are not allowed to stay.

It is in our interest in Rome to allow the Swedes to continue to contain the Russians. However, I cannot blatantly let go of Karl Twelve and one horse. Karl Twelve is ungrateful and does not mention it for now. He has several senior Prussian officials who are relatively close to me.

Physically and psychologically I cannot accept such generous treatment.

Therefore, I convened an emergency military meeting.

"What are we still discussing? The King of Sweden has no way out. Let's launch a fierce attack and capture him before dark!" Dietrich's shout attracted the support of many Prussian nobles.

"Do you have any concerns?" Prince Dessau glared at his son and said to me.

"Actually, that's the case. I'm worried about one thing. I suspect that while we were chasing the Swedes, the King of Sweden had sent a messenger for help to the Swedish army in Lithuania. Yes, although Karl XII made many enemies at home and abroad,

Although there are few, there are still quite a lot of followers in the domestic army, such as the Swedish army in Lithuania.

One of them. The king is in trouble, how can those Swedes not save him? As for the issue of military strength, it is not a big deal. Russia is in the midst of a major defeat, and there is no need to maintain a large number of troops on the border to ensure peace for the time being. Lithuania

The Swedes in the area could mobilize a group of men to relieve the siege of Königsberg.

The only inconvenience for the Swedes is the freezing of the Baltic Sea. Under normal circumstances, they could have taken a boat directly to Königsberg, but with a forced march, they arrived here from hundreds of kilometers away. You in Northern Europe should know better than me.

Many, Lithuanian Sweden is the elite of the Swedish elite, Russia

When fighting against this legion, the Swedes always dare to attack with several times the force. For us, just dealing with the King of Sweden's more than 10,000 people will make us miserable. If we face the Swedish army with an equal number,

I'm afraid that even if we win, many of us will not make it back to Berlin alive."

A layer of dark clouds immediately enveloped the festive military meeting tent.

Schwerin thought for a moment and then asked: "What do you think?"

"We will accept it as soon as possible and make peace with the Swedes. From now on, the two countries will stop fighting. If you have any objections, please speak up. If you agree with my proposal, I would like to invite the King of Sweden to come out for negotiations later."

In response to my question, Schwerin asked: "What if the Swedes sign the treaty but launch another attack against us soon after? Do you have any suggestions?"

To the cunning old man, I smiled and said: "Prince Dessau doesn't need to worry now. After signing this contract with the Swedes, I will suggest that Prussia should immediately take advantage of this opportunity to sign a joint treaty with the Russian envoys who are also in Berlin."

The enemy's contract."

Schwerin and Dessau looked at each other and didn't know what they were thinking, but after I ended the military discussion, neither of them left.

Prince Dessau asked: "Do you have any concerns outside of this?"

"You two also noticed it?" I sighed with a wry smile, and then told the two old men what I thought.

Karl XII taught the East Prussians a lesson as I imagined. Now, following Karl XII's footsteps, we have destroyed most of the East Prussian army without spending a single soldier. As long as you give me a little more

With time, I can quietly suppress those guys who are trying to dominate the mountain. However, I am afraid of pushing the Swedes too hard and making those guys realize that they are about to lose power.

The East Prussians simply did nothing to collude with the Swedes. My worries are not unreasonable. Königsberg is still in the hands of the East Prussians. Once the East Prussians join forces with the Swedes, the East Prussian nobles will destroy the Swedish army in Lithuania.

If we let go of the river bank, the originally good situation will be completely reversed. Karl XII and the Swedish army from Lithuania can completely destroy us in minutes.

The two old Prussians were persuaded by me, so the only thing left to do was to convince that idiot Karl XII.

An envoy was sent to make contact, lest I ride over and be shot as a reconnaissance. After negotiation, Karl XII agreed to hold talks at 4 p.m., 600 meters away from the camps of both sides. Each person could not carry more than 10 people.

Entourage. I have no objection to his proposal and agree to it.

With Leon and his trusted bodyguard, Schwerin, we rode horses to the place where the reservation was made. When we saw Karl Twelve again, who once confidently said, "My soldiers regard me as a god," the center

The second sick king is not in good condition. Although the clothes on his body are extremely gorgeous, his expression and condition are not good.

But the complacency of "I am the best in the world" was gone. To be honest, when I first saw this man, I thought it was the passerby on the street who came out to make a guest appearance. If it weren't for that look, I would be the most satisfied.

His temperament fully reflects his kingly aura, and I even doubt whether he is the real King of Sweden.

But I don’t think that Karl Twelve will fall just like that. The command of this idiot’s violent East Prussian chrysanthemum is as ferocious as a violent storm with a touch of tenderness, as if Karl Twelve really

While exploding other people's assholes to get a sense of pleasure, they also take great care of and pity the unlucky guy's tender anus, not exploding again and again.

"Roman, you are better than me. If you asked me out just to laugh at me, then you did it." Karl Twelve, whose eyes were sunken and bloodshot, was the first to speak.

There were Prussians present, and I didn’t mind bringing glory to their faces: “It wasn’t me who defeated you, it was the Romans and Prussians under my command. To be honest, I am not a person who admits defeat, but you are on the battlefield.

The control is really great.”

Karl Twelve, who lowered his head, froze in doubt for a while: "Since you are not here to laugh at me, then what are you doing here? Tell us, and then we can go back and prepare for the final battle that matters life and death!"

Come on, these two hundred and fifty are still thinking about fighting. I chuckled and said: "The purpose of me asking you to come out for a talk is very simple, because I think there is no need to continue fighting based on the comparison of our strengths, so for the sake of the soldiers on both sides

For this reason, I want to negotiate with you to see if we can end the war between Sweden and Prussia."

"End the war?" Karl XII was really stupid this time, and even opened his mouth, "Are you kidding? I will never surrender! I will not agree, and my soldiers will not agree!"

"I have no intention of asking you to surrender, because I respect you very much. But Karl, do you think you will be able to walk out of East Prussia even if you defeat us by luck? We have nearly 30,000 people. What about you? 5,000 or 6,000? You

Are you sure to annihilate us? Just across the way, in Königsberg, there are thousands of Prussian troops, and outside the Prussian border,

There are several Russian infantry regiments. So, even if you defeat us, you still cannot leave East Prussia. Moreover, do you think it is appropriate to make such a desperate move and push the loyal soldiers who followed you from Prussia here into the abyss of hell? Lost

How many of these soldiers are you willing to sacrifice their lives for you? And there are more than two thousand Swedish prisoners in our rear."

The several questions I asked in succession made Karl Twelve's face grow colder and colder. Whether he was really a stupid war maniac or a wise and mighty king, my words could resonate with him. Elites are hard to find these days, especially

They are loyal elites. Karl XII has lost such a large number of loyal soldiers. How can he continue to rely on wind and rain as before in the country?

"Say your terms."

After hearing this, I finally felt relieved, which meant that Karl had moved his mind. Then, I began to throw out to him the conditions that I had been thinking about for the past ten days or so.

Sweden ceased the war with Prussia, lifted the blockade of the coast, returned the king and the royal family, returned the culprit Otto and his followers, returned as much of the Prussian treasury property taken as possible, and recognized Prince Frederick of Prussia as the heir to the kingdom.

The royal authority of Henzollern is sacred and inviolable. King Karl XII of Sweden and his army will leave safely after signing the agreement. When the Prussian royal family returns to Prussia, Prussia will return the Swedish prisoners it seized.

"I will go back and discuss this with my consultants and give you an accurate answer later."

After receiving the answer, we terminated the meeting.

Schwerin came up from behind: "Although these conditions are not very harsh, today Sweden is almost facing the crisis of extinction. Is it too lenient to the Swedes to only offer such conditions?"

"My main goal now is to stabilize them. Old Count Schwerin, you immediately put the East Prussian nobles we gathered under house arrest, and then invite you to go to Königsberg. And now I am writing a letter to Frederick to take with him.
