The fundamental reason why Conrad II was so tough that he even threatened the pope to support him in redeeming Conrad III was not that Conrad II's bones were really hard to this extent, nor that the brotherly relationship between him and Conrad III was really deep to this extent, but that Conrad II was fully confident.

Because it is similar to the chaos of many countries in Europe, the churches that are about to develop the function of indulgences to make money are actually in chaos. In addition to the orthodox pope Innocent II, elected by several cardinals, there is also an enemy Pope Victor IV. Moreover, the famous scene of the two popes being hostile to each other almost runs through the development history of the church.

It is precisely because of this that Conrad II dared to go out to threaten the orthodox Pope Innocent II with the destruction of the church - the potential meaning is that you support me in redemption of Conrad, or I will turn around and support Victor IV.

Innocent II, the Italian pope, is naturally not a good deal. Some time ago, he was confirmed under the stool as a man, and was crowned ascended the throne. After receiving Conrad's messenger, Innocent II generously stated that as a pope, he must not be able to watch the Little Conrad III, who initiated the crusade, was captured. His pope naturally strongly supported the proposal to redeem Conrad III.

but--

The well-known literati Mr. Zhou Shuren once said that he was afraid of anything but.

Innocent II said that although his pope also supports the redemption of Conrad III, the emperor of your Holy Roman Empire, Lothel II, was unable to completely resolve Anacletus when he attacked Anacletus, so that he left the root of disaster. Now there are two popes in a church. No matter what he wants to do, there will be a lot of loyal dogs who are hostile to the Pope who criticize Victor IV and jump out to object. Are you sure you want me to publicly support you in redemption of Conrad?

In addition, your Holy Roman Empire is also full of shit - what does Lotel II say? Are you going to solve Lotel II or are you planning to join the two emperors like the church?

So, can you understand your Holy Roman Empire first and then talk about other things? Otherwise, even if I agree to redeem Conrad III, you can guarantee that Lothel II of your Holy Roman Empire will not jump out and make trouble?

After receiving the reply from Pope Innocent II, Conrad II thought that this was indeed the case, so he sent someone to discuss with Lothel II.

Anyway, no matter whether you support Lotel or not, Xiaoconrad must be redeemed. If you support it, we will keep our affairs slowly in the future. Whether we rely on our skills to judge the winner or who can get the support of the Holy See? In short, we can study it slowly. If you don’t support it, then I will find a way to redeem Xiaoconrad, but we must have to fight to the death before.

As a result, Lothel II was really not a tough guy, but was threatened by Conrad II. In addition, Louis VI in France and Queen Eleanor, the wife of Louis VII, were connected. Lothel II also said that his victory and loss with the Conrad brothers were temporary, and it was a lifetime to be embarrassed by the capture of Conrad, so of course, the redemption of Conrad should be the priority.

After meeting and consultation with Pope Innocent II, Louis VI of France and the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Lothier II, finally decided to redeem the bodies of Conrad III and Louis VII. As for the expenses required, half of the expenses were shared by Conrad and Lothier, and the remaining half was shared by the Holy See, France and the Crusaders.

Anyway, the bodies of Conrad III and Louis VII must be redeemed - it seems that this way can protect the faces of the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Church, France, and the Crusaders.

...

"The envoys of the Roman Kingdom have arrived with ransom."

After someone prepared the food and drinks, Yelu Dashi began to plead with Conrad III: "The crusaders did not expect, and they really stopped moving forward. But Brother Kang can rest assured that after the Roman Kingdom redeems you, Lao Liu can let go of his hands and feet to deal with the crusaders, and will never delay your major affairs."

"The only regret now is that there are too few crusaders coming this time. I heard that there are only about 100,000 people who have made up their minds."

"I think Wu'an Jun killed 400,000 yuan in one battle. Although I am worse than Wu'an Jun, I have gathered more than 100,000 people in the whole Europa. Isn't this fucking look down on our Lao Liu?"

"Also, what do you think these 100,000 people are enough for? Will you need one hundred thousand workers to build a Great Wall at will?"

"Forget it, although these 100,000 workers are a little less, they are enough for me to build roads, so it's better than nothing."

Conrad III didn't listen to Yelu Dashi's brag much, but instead focused most of his attention on the wine and food in front of him.

After returning to Europa, I could only eat the hard-to-swallow black bread like others. I would definitely not be able to eat the delicacies I had eaten in the Song Dynasty for a while. Isn’t it a big loss if I don’t hurry up and eat more now?

"Tie me up, I'll roll in the mud outside later, and at least do a full set of shows."

After eating and drinking, Conrad III said to Yelu Dashi: "It's just that I was redeemed this time, and I don't know when I meet next time."

Yelu Dashi looked at the image of Conrad III like a starving ghost, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I just hope Brother Kang can complete the things that the official has given earlier and return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. We must have a good time to see each other."

Conrad III suppressed the grief in his heart and smiled and nodded to say that he would definitely complete the things the official told him earlier - how can he not finish it earlier? After returning this time, he not only had to eat the black bread that was difficult to swallow, but also had to have one dung city after another opposite!

Thinking about the Europa barbarians who made manure everywhere and the dung cities, and thinking about the polite Song people and the clean and tidy Bianjing city, Conrad III couldn't help but sigh: They are all human beings, and the gap between the Europa barbarians and the people of the Central Plains is even bigger than that between humans and dogs!
