Chapter 1232 Lobbyist Freybach(2/2)
"No." Liudov shook his hand: "At least I am not Ludwig's dog. I am the Duke of Saxony, and my army is all Saxony. Let me tell you!" His spirit became excited: "My ancestor is
Vidukind! The surrender back then was out of necessity, but now I have returned to my country. Ludwig recognizes my special status, can your Lothair do it?"
"King..." Freibach was surprised that there could still be such an existence in the northern region, and that Ludwig actually tolerated a separatist rule by a big noble.
"King Lothair...will recognize all the power you now have."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it? The king gives his loyal subjects wealth and land."
Ludwig also said this boring rhetoric. Since the Principality of Saxony has become de facto independent, it remains to be discussed whether it will remain loyal to Ludwig after helping him win the civil war (at least not lose). Of course, as long as it can
There is nothing wrong with nominal surrender in order to get more benefits decently.
As for Lothair, this guy killed his own brother in order to reduce the vassal vassal. This guy has a question mark on all his promises to the Frankish nobles, let alone a Saxon noble?
There is even a striking example.
Liudov would not be quick to talk to the prisoners. The so-called attack on Aachen was because he, Liudov, actively made suggestions for the Russians. Such a thing is a secret, but it will be exposed sooner or later, and then "Lotel will not be able to say a word
Swallow me”.
"Stop your persuasion! Since your father is coming to Kaiserslautern, you should think about how Adalbert is going to get over the destroyed Sarabrücken Bridge and the burned town.
The granary was also burned down, so your granary is almost at the bottom."
Hearing this, Freibach, who was in shock, was already doubting his life.
"You know about the killing of Baron Salgao? Could it be you who did it?"
"Yes, not entirely." Liudof had no intention of telling this person the inside story. The so-called Earl of the Netherlands was his vassal. After the Earl's youngest daughter married a Ross noble, the Barony of Nassau had expanded to include the entire Leingau.
and Koblenz.
Although the female Count Sophia was openly loyal to Ludwig, her father was after all a vassal of the Duke of Saxony.
Therefore, Liu Doufu had to bear some responsibility, but he really wished that he had done the thing of destroying the bridge.
"The bridge is broken. No matter how many people your father has, I guess he won't be able to cross the Saar River this year." Liudov was very proud.
Freibach looked stubborn: "Not necessarily."
"How? Can you still fly across the Saar River?"
"Of course we pass through Baron Brisgau's territory, don't forget Schwabrücken..."
"That's just a small bridge. Besides, Briscoe will let you cross?"
"Haha, this is your ignorance. You can either kill me or send me back to my father. Otherwise, there will inevitably be a bloody battle when my father's army arrives, and your army will lose this time."
To be honest, Liu Doufu was a little nervous. Firstly, his soldiers were busy venting their anger after the war, and they had to quickly assemble for combat. Secondly, the army's losses were really quite large. There were still less than 4,000 people with combat effectiveness, and the army needed to digest the fruits of victory.
He could not fight again until later. He couldn't believe the captives' words either.
"Okay, I'll consider your argument."
"Submit to King Lothair?"
"Stupid! I have to think about how to defeat your father's reinforcements again! And you should also think about your own way out."
"Me?" Freibach closed his eyes and kept bumping his head against the pillar, yelling, "How about you kill me?"
"It's better to give you to Ludwig! Although you are loyal to Lothar now, look at the whole country of Inland! The people's livelihood here is depressed, and your Metz also came here after the war. Besides, only the remaining members of your family are
You are alone. If you die again, the Earl of Metz family will have to replace you."
There was something in these words, and Freibach suddenly calmed down: "How can I say this? What do you mean I am the only one left?"
"Because behind me is Ludwig's main Bavarian army and the Thuringian army. They are well prepared. Your father is not the only one facing us! Counting that, it will be four times.
The Battle of Slautern! Do you think your father can defeat an army of fifty thousand (deliberate bragging)? He will be killed."
"This is not true! Besides, I still have a younger brother. Our Metz also has a new count! There is also a steady stream of troops."
"Your brother Odobach? I've heard about it. Your whole family is in Metz. It's just a pity..."
"how?!"
"The Nassau army has been ordered to attack the city of Metz."
"Nassau? Just a baron?"
"Stupid! Nassau is now an earl. Besides, they only have the name of Nassau. You should know that even I am related to the Danes. And those so-called Nassau troops..."
"The Danes? The well-known Danish mercenaries of Ludwig?"
"It is a more powerful existence than Denmark." Liudov stared with sharp eyes and his words became more and more arrogant. "Your whole family will die because your family chose the wrong monarch. Listen, Lothair will be defeated. He
The territory is full of wars. Haha, I have sent my son to Tours. I dare say that soon you Metz will learn about the war in the south. Don’t forget that Louis (the Pious) does not have a crown on his head.
He is also taking action. Will Metz be able to fight on two fronts by then? How many troops do you have left to fight the attack from the south?"
This year's war was initiated by Ludwig, but the war turned into the "Frankish World War". Liudov actually became the military planner of the East Kingdom camp and joined as a conspirator and doer.
As a result, Freibach passively learned something he never dared to think about.
