In November 455, the weather was getting colder, and Qin Dong was worried that Enek in the north would freeze to death due to the cold weather, causing a shortage of food, so he took the risk of crossing the lower Danube to attack his territory north of the Balkan Mountains, so he instructed Liu San's intelligence system to pay close attention to Enek's movements in the north.

In fact, on a certain course, Qin Dong did not want the Xiongnu Empire to fall into civil strife, due to the death of Erak caused the Xiongnu Empire to be divided, the Xiongnu generals in various places went their own way, and they were also hostile to each other, even the southern courtyard king Sambus in the west was also very guarded against Qin Dong, and the merchants in Qindong's territory did not dare to go west and north for fear of being disadvantaged in the area controlled by Sambus and Enek, which made the financial income of the eastern courtyard of Qindong much less.

However, in order to find out the topography, population, and ethnic distribution of various places, Qin Dong still organized many caravans to venture to the north and west to sell goods, and in the name of selling goods, he actually sent people to various places to set up intelligence stations, and then the intelligence stations collected local information.

On 25 November, the intelligence services received information that an army was moving very quickly along the mountain range from the middle of the Carpathian Mountains in the north, as if it were deliberately taking the inaccessible road in order to avoid Enek's cavalry patrols in the north.

After receiving this news, the Eastern Courtyard Dawangfu immediately entered a state of intense combat readiness, and the newly established Military Department began to operate overload for the first time, and the level of the Military Department was the same as that of other departments, but it did not belong to the civilian system. It is responsible for a series of military-related affairs, such as the army's food, equipment, and salaries, but the promotion of army officers and generals and the transfer of troops are not under its jurisdiction.

In the battle hall of the Great King's Mansion in the East Courtyard, a huge map hung on the wall. Qin Dong, Su He, Tuolong, Ma Li, Duoyin, Zheli, Faisal, Mas and other generals stood under the map and studied what was the intention of this army that suddenly appeared to move south?

Qin Dong asked, "Have you figured out the identity of this army?" Whose centaur is it? Enek's, Deng Zhixik's, or the people of Itur, the king of the Northern Courtyard? Or the centaurs of Diodmir and Aldarric? ”

Liu Sandao on the side behind him: "King Qiyu, the intelligence shows that the army is fighting the Hun wolf flag, not the Ostrogothic or Gepid banner, it should be the Hun army!" ”

Ma Li said: "Could it be Enek's men, if he sends troops south with great fanfare." It must be easy for us to detect, and it is not easy for us to find out if he is so sneaky, and then he can achieve the purpose of a surprise attack! ”

Zheli agreed: "It's very likely. Now that the region north of the Danube is much colder than we are, Enek should have a hard time, and it is not impossible for him to raid us and take away some of our population, some food and livestock! ”

The others didn't speak, and Qin Dong touched his chin and looked at the map. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Where was this army first discovered?" How many people are there? ”

Liu San walked to the edge of the wall, pointed to a place with a wooden stick, and said, "There are about 10,000 riders in total. All cavalry, here, Aniro! ”

Qin Dong fixed his eyes and saw that Aniro was in the middle of the southern section of the Carpathian Mountains, and there was a road leading to Brasso in the north, and the army in Braso was Modo, and before Elak Dadanyu was killed, Modo was ordered by Erak to go deep into the hinterland of Enek and force him to return to his division. Later, he took Enek around in circles, and was finally ordered to garrison Brasso, the only pass on the road to the west. Blocked the passage for Enek to advance west to attack the Xiongnu royal court.

Qin Dong looked at the map again before saying: "It's unlikely that it is Enek, last winter, he fought with Da Dan Yu Erak and suffered heavy losses, at this time he is recuperating in Bucharest, with his current military strength, there is basically no chance of winning if he wants to fight us, we didn't fight him, it's good, I think it should be someone else, if I don't guess wrong, this army should be Modo's men, and it is Modo himself!" ”

Modo? Qin Dong's answer made the generals behind a little surprised, since Qin Dong became the king of the Eastern Courtyard and soon after Da Dan committed suicide in the defeat of Erak, these people have long forgotten Mo Duo, if it wasn't for Qin Dong just mentioned, maybe they would never remember that there was such a person as Mo Duo, after all, Mo Duo is no longer a big man.

Su He was puzzled: "King, why do you think it's Modo?" Didn't he be named the right big household by Da Dan Yu and go to the territory in the north to take office? If it were his men, he would have to pass through many checkpoints along the way, all of which were enemy territory, and he would not have reached the southern section of the Carpathians so smoothly! ”

As soon as everyone heard Su He's analysis, they all thought it was reasonable, because it was obvious that the Carpathians were like a "few" that fell sideways to the right, and the prominent section was in the east, located in the middle of today's Romania, while Modo's territory was in the north of a few words, and if you want to go south, you must make a detour through the territory of the Ostrogoths, and then enter the territory of Dunzhicik, and finally enter the territory of Enek, so to speak, a big circle around a few words, this is simply a lifeless adventure.

"No!" Qin Dong shook his head and denied: "You think wrong, Mo Duo received the canonization of Da Shan Yu as the right big household, and the territory was in the north, he did not take the army to the northern territory, when the order was conveyed to his hands, at that time, Da Shan Yu Erak had already been defeated and died, and the places were rapidly divided and hostile to each other, Mo Duo had no chance to go to the northern territory at all, he and his army have been stranded in the Brasso area, but the Brasso area has no population, and the place is very small, There is no way to feed his army of 10,000 cavalry, and now the weather is cold, with his strength, he can't fight Enek's autumn wind, although there is Lorid's army in the previous royal court in the west, but there are still several commanders in the middle, these people occupy the plateau, and the soldiers are strong and strong, I'm afraid that there will be no one left before the strength of Modo's hand has not converged with Lored, so he can only go south to find us! ”

"Looking for us?" Su He thought for a moment and asked, "Does the king mean that Modo wants to go south to join us or cross the Danube to attack us?" ”

Qin Dong said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Mo Duo to see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd!" In the past, Modo was quite dissatisfied with me, because I took the opportunity to occupy a lot of his territory, and Modo's personality did not turn against me on the spot completely because Lored was here at that time, and it stands to reason that my relationship with him was almost not directly torn apart, if he wanted to come to me, I really didn't dare to take him in, but if he came to attack us, then he thought that with his 10,000 cavalry, he could defeat me? ”

At this time, Duoyin said: "If according to the king's statement, Mo Duo can't be here to attack us, unless he is so arrogant that he is dizzy, then there is only one possibility left, he is here to take refuge in the king, as for whether he sincerely surrenders or pretends to take refuge, this is probably only clear in his own heart, and please the king must think twice and go to other people's hands!" ”

Listening to Duoyin's words, Qin Dong walked around in front of the map with the hilt of the knife, thinking about how to treat Mo Duo, whether Mo Duo really took refuge or fake? He didn't know, he hadn't seen Modo yet, if Modo was fake and he didn't find out, there would probably be a big mess in the future, what should he do if he couldn't be sure whether Modo was true or fake?

After thinking for a few minutes, Qin Dong stopped and looked at the generals in front of him and asked, "Generals, if Mo Duo is here to join us, what do you think this king should do?" Do you refuse to accept him and expel him, or do you directly command the army to destroy him? Or just accept him."

Ruth thought about it and said without thinking: "The king, of course it is accepted, Moduo has 10,000 iron horses, this is a large number of troops, and the combat power is very strong, with this 10,000 iron horses, the king's strength is a little stronger!" ”

Toron objected on the spot: "I don't agree, who knows whether Modo is sincere or pretending to join us, if he is not sincere, but has a bad stomach in his stomach, we are likely to fall for him, and don't forget, more than two-thirds of the territory here was under his rule before, and many soldiers in his army are from here, when he ascends to the heights, there will definitely be a big mess, but we haven't clashed with him before, so let's refuse his refuge."

Su He shook his head and said: "No, Mo Duo doesn't look at him as an old man, he usually looks rude, in fact, his heart is careful, and he is also ruthless, rejecting him and expelling him is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, I think the king should directly lead troops to exterminate him, kill him and then take over his remnants of the soldiers and horses, and further strengthen our power, in our Xiongnu Empire, this kind of thing often happens, it is commonplace!" ”

These generals have their own opinions, each has its own opinion, and it can't be said that any of them is wrong, in fact, each of them has a certain amount of truth, but this is obviously not the conclusion that Qin Dong needs, he shook his head and said: "If you refuse to accept him or exterminate him according to what you say, then who else will surrender to us in the future, and who will come to serve?" Since people are here, we can't refuse, we must also receive people with 12 points of sincerity, but we also have conditions, we can serve us, but the army must accept the reorganization, Modo should enjoy whatever treatment he wants, let him continue to lead the troops if he wants to, but the army he brings must accept our integration! ”

The generals have to admire Qin Dong's move, reorganized, this is a big killer, but all the reorganized army, the soldiers know that they are loyal to one person, that is Qin Dong! Even if Modo continued to lead the troops, if he wanted to rebel, no soldiers would respond. (To be continued......)
