Chapter 227: Promotion to Captain

Two days later, a group of cavalrymen who came from Saidika's side to give orders met Qin Dong and conveyed Modo's order to Saidika immediately.

According to reliable sources, Lored had a good life in Saidika and did not encounter any trouble, which shows that Modo is still loyal to Dadan to Erak, and if Modo has thrown himself into other princes, then Lorid must have suffered from Modo's plot. Therefore, it was safe to go to Saidika this time, and Qin Dong did not bring more men and horses, and only brought a hundred archers and cavalry.

It only took half a day to arrive at Saidika, and after stopping at the gate of Modo's camp, Qin Dong asked the soldiers at the gate of the camp to go in and report.

It didn't take long for Modo's guards to rush to the door to welcome Qin Dong in, and in the Chinese army's big tent, Qin Dong saw Modo and several other commanders, and next to Modo sat Lored, the former captain of Attila's guard.

"Meet Master Wanfu! Hey, isn't this Lord Lored? How did you get to Saidica? Qin Dong pretended to be very surprised, and greeted Lored with a happy expression.

"Hahaha, Commander Qin, you should get up first, Lord Lored came to visit us on behalf of Da Shan Yu this time, and by the way, I will also inspect the defense of southern Xinjiang!" Mordo spoke first and said the purpose of the trip.

"Thank you, sir!" Qin Dong thanked him, got up and found an empty seat to sit down, and soon Modo's slaves brought Qin Dong wine and food.

Qin Dong poured a bowl of mare's milk wine, picked it up and said to Modo, Lorid, and the other commanders: "Lord Modo, Lord Lored." And colleagues, Qin Dong is late, I salute you a bowl! With that, he drank it.

Modo laughed: "Hahaha. Okay, Commander Qin is really arrogant! Lord Lored came from afar, it's really hard, come on, let's give Lord Lorid a bowl together! ”

"Yes, Lord Lored!" Someone immediately chimed in, and everyone raised their bowls to salute Lored.

Lored didn't smile. He barely showed a smile, but it was more ugly than crying, and he picked up the wine bowl and said, "Thank you, Captain Modovan and all the commanders." I drank this bowl of wine, and before I came, Da Shan Yu also said that he didn't know how Mo Duo and the thousand commanders were doing here, which can be seen. Da Shan is very concerned about you! ”

Qin Dong listened to Lored's words. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Lored is obviously not suitable for the role of Da Dan Yu's envoy, Erak sent him to be the wrong person, in the current situation, as a Da Dan Yu's envoy, you must be shrewd, tough, and even more able to speak, you must be good at observing words and feelings, and you must have the means and ability to win people's hearts, but Lorid is not such a person. He's just a fierce general.

Mo Duo and the others looked very grateful: "Thank you Da Shan Yu for thinking about us, we must swear allegiance to Da Shan Yu." Come, let's have a bowl together! ”

The people in the room ate and drank for a while, and Lored did not drink much, and when he saw that someone was about to get drunk, he raised his hands and patted them, and soon several soldiers entered the tent with some boxes, which made Modo and everyone else stop drinking and eating meat.

I saw Lorid stand up and say: "Da Shan Yu knows that you are working very hard to guard the frontier, so he specially asked me to bring you his reward, rewarding Captain Mo Duo with 500 gold pounds, and rewarding you with 100 gold pounds."

This is not a small amount of money, some commanders do not necessarily have a hundred gold pounds in all their families, knowing that Erak is exchanging gold for their loyalty, these people are still very happy to accept the gold, if not, I am afraid that the big single Yu Erak will have an idea.

And there are only six commanders who came this time, plus Qin Dong, which means that there are still four commanders under Modo's command who have not come, it is obvious that the four commanders who did not come are not Modo's people, nor are they Elak's people, they are either Enek, Elnak, or Deng Zhixik's people.

Mo Duo, Qin Dong and the other five thousand commanders stood up together and stood in the middle of the tent and saluted Lored: "Thank you Da Shan Yu for the reward, we should be stationed on the frontier for Da Dan Yu, and at the same time, thank you Lord Lored!" ”

Seeing that there were only six thousand commanders below, Lored opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Modo, why do you only have six thousand commanders under your command?" ”

Modo also knew that Lored would definitely ask about this matter, so he told the situation, "Lord Lored, the situation is like this, the other four commanders who did not come are not my people, they have been appointed to serve under me during the time of Attila Dadanyu, as far as I know, two of them are Enek's people, and the other two are Ernak and Deng Zhixik's people, and they have not been at fault in the past few years, even if I am the captain of the Wan, I can't remove them, this time you are here on behalf of Da Danyu, I didn't tell them to come! ”

Dare to be like this, Lored had a certain understanding of the situation in Modo's army, and he nodded: "I see, I know, come here, and distribute the reward of Da Dan Yu to Lord Modo and all the commanders!" ”

Next, the sergeants distributed the gold that had been distributed to Mo Duo and the others, and everyone else had it, but Qin Dong was the only one who was not distributed gold.

The others obviously noticed this situation, and Mo Duo couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lored, we all have rewards, why is Commander Qin ......?" ”

"Big order is in order!" It was Lored who suddenly raised Erak's staff of the envoy, and when the others heard the order of Da Danyu, they all gathered in the middle of the big tent and knelt down on one knee.

"Da Dan Yu order: Since the commander of Qin Dong arrived in the southeast border defense area, he has penetrated deep into the Eastern Roman Empire, made trouble in Constantinople, captured the Eastern Roman Emperor, and greatly demonstrated the prestige of my Great Hun Empire, not only obtained a large amount of wealth and handed over to the royal court, but also acquired a large amount of land, and recently raised troops to seize the territory of the three Germanic tribes in the south in one fell swoop, defeated more than 13,000 people of the 14th Army of the Western Roman Empire with 4,000 people, killed more than 6,000 people, captured more than 6,000 people, and suffered less than 700 casualties, which is a great victory. In view of Qin Dong's bravery and military commander's ability, Qin Dong was promoted to the commander of ten thousand commanders from now on, and was responsible for the defense area of advanced Qin Dong and the seizure of the enemy's territory. Come on, bring up Captain Qin's identity token and Wanfu Wolf Flag."

Immediately, there was a sergeant holding a folded square flag, and there was an ebony iron plate on it, and the other five commanders below Modo were envious when they saw this formation, they had basically been commanders for many years, and they were still in the position of commanders, and a small centurion in Qin Dong had only been here for a year and had risen from centurion to centurion, and the span in the middle was too big, you must know that the centurion and the centurion are not empty, there are official positions in the middle, The difference between the commander of the thousand and the commander of the thousand can be said to be very different, the commander can only act in accordance with the decree above, but the commander of the thousand can be different, the commander can open the government and build teeth, and can appoint officials to deal with military and political affairs on his own.

Qin Dong didn't expect that Lored would convey Erak's appointment on this occasion, he didn't react for a while, Mo Duo in front reached behind and pulled his clothes, only to bring him back to his senses, he immediately walked out and knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said loudly: "Long live Da Dan Yu, minister Qin Dong swears allegiance to Da Shan Yu!" ”

Lored walked over and took the wolf flag and identity tag in the sergeant's hand and put it in Qin Dong's hand and said, "Qin Dong, Da Shan Yu is very optimistic about you, don't let down Da Shan Yu's expectations!" ”

Qin Dong hurriedly said: "Please tell Da Shan Yu to Lord Lored, just say that the direction of Da Shan Yu's bow and arrow is the direction of the attack of the minister Qin Dong, and wait for the minister to form the Wanfu Chief's Office, and after the recruitment and training of ten thousand horses are completed, he will go to the royal court to meet Da Shan Yu!" ”

Next, everyone continued to drink and eat meat and chat, Modo also arranged for the female slaves to perform songs and dances, and several thousand commanders drank too much cat urine and were a little nervous, and they all went on the field to pull those female slaves into their arms and wantonly put their hands up and down, until they touched the female slaves humming and chirping.

In this process, only Modo, Qin Dong and Lored did not show their ugliness, Modo is old, maybe there is no need for this for a long time, and these ordinary female slaves can't arouse Qin Dong's interest at all, so Qin Dong can still talk to Lorid and Modo, as for Lored, he is a very strict person, and he has a strong ability to restrain himself in the face of temptation, otherwise Attila would not let him be his captain of the guard, in his eyes, these female slaves are pink skeletons, which can be described as extremely disgusting, But on such an occasion, he can't go, he must stay here, otherwise how can he complete the task given to him by Erak?

Qin Dong bit off a piece of meat from a leg of mutton, and said to Lorid while eating: "Lord Lored, if you are not in a hurry to return to the royal court, I would like to invite you to Pazar to have a look, Pazar is a new city that I built after I took up my post here, although it has only been a year, but the main project has been completed, and now the population in the city is more than 100,000, and it is also a large city in this border area, with convenient transportation and developed commerce, and what can be bought in Rome City and Constantinople can basically be bought in Pazar!" In addition, I have prepared some gifts for you and Da Shan Yu, and I would like to ask you to bring them back with you when you go back."

In the face of Qin Dong's invitation, Lorid was naturally very willing, originally even if Qin Dong didn't bring it up, he would take the initiative to ask to go to Pazar to see, but now Qin Dong took the initiative to invite him to Pazar, which was in his arms, the main task that Erak sent him here was to win over Modo and Qin Dong, as long as it was something beneficial to the task, even if he didn't want to, he had to do it.

He immediately agreed: "Okay, I still have ten or so days, and there should be enough time, as long as I rush back to the royal court in the middle of next month!" ”

"Lord Modo, why don't you go to Pazar with Lord Lored?" Qin Dong invited Mo Duo again.

Although Mo Duo also wanted to go, he remembered that there were still a lot of things here, and shook his head and said: "I want to go, but it's a pity that I can't leave at this stage, since Da Dan Yu has fallen out with several other princes, Enek from the north may come over at any time, I can't help but be prepared!"
