Chapter 228: Infighting Begins
The people in the big tent ate and drank for more than two hours before it was over, and the station of these commanders was not close to Saidika, and it was impossible to go back today, so Modo arranged for people to prepare tents for them to rest, and in the evening, at the request of Lored, Modo called these captains to the big tent to discuss important matters.
When Qin Dong walked into Moduo's big tent, the dwarf table was full of wine and meat, but Qin Dong didn't understand what Moduo meant, did everyone have to eat together to enjoy it?
After everyone arrived, Mo Duo spoke, "Everyone, everyone must know about Da Shan Yu's falling out with his brothers, it's not that Da Dan Yu can't tolerate his brothers, but his brothers have made too much trouble, since the brothers have become enemies, what else is there to say?" When we meet on the battlefield in the future, don't be soft, do you understand? ”
The five commanders all look at me, I look at you, and then everyone stood up and saluted Modo: "Yes, my lord!" ”
Mo Duo saw that although everyone hesitated, he still quickly agreed, so he was very satisfied, the reason why these commanders hesitated at the beginning, this is human nature, after all, everyone used to be colleagues, and they ate in the same pot, and now since they are their own masters, then there is no need to think about the old feelings.
Mo Duo said again: "This time Lord Lored came, there is another matter, that is, to solve our internal problems, except for the five of you, the other four commanders are not loyal to Da Danyu, in my Mo Duo's territory, I will never allow the root cause to hide, tomorrow after you go back, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, ready to follow the orders of the general to take the soldiers and horses to the designated position!" ”
Modo's words are already obvious. That is to eradicate the other four thousand-commanders who are not their own people, to prevent them from suddenly breaking out at a critical moment, and taking advantage of the fact that the top management has just fallen out. The other princes left the court with their armies and had not yet established themselves in their footholds, eradicating the forces they had hidden within the Dadanyu's sphere of influence. Qin Dong believes that such a military operation will definitely not only take place in the Balkan Peninsula, but also in other places at the same time.
Although Qin Dong was very keen on such an action, after all, he could capture elite Hun cavalry, accept more herdsmen, and expand his territory against other Xiongnu tribes, but he was worried at the moment. The reason for this is that this is only the internal cannibalism of the Huns, and when Elak and his brothers kill each other, they forget that there are also barbarians around who have long been unwilling to submit, such as the Skils, Ostrogoths, Gepids, and Alans.
When Attila was alive. The Ostrogothic king Valamir, the king of Gerpid Ardarik, and the king of Skir Edika were loyal and did not dare to raise an army to rebel, even after Attila's death, these people were still honest. But the new Da Dan Yu is trying to appease a few insatiable brothers. It is extremely wrong to agree to their stupid request to give the ruling power of these subordinate nationalities to his brothers, so that the people of these subordinate nationalities will become inferior, and it will make those subordinate nationalities immediately dissatisfied, and in the past, the status of those subordinate nationalities and the Xiongnu was equal, and now let them become inferior people with a lower status than the Huns, if they can bear it? Varamir, Ardarik, and Edika were the leaders of the annexed peoples. When Erac declared that they would bring their people under the rule of his brothers, they rebelled.
The number of Huns in Europe during this period was actually not very large. The reason why the Huns were able to rule a large area of northern Europe was that they gathered almost all the barbarian peoples who surrendered, and let these Hu people all unite around them to conquer the world for them.
Qin Dong is most worried that the Huns are killing each other too much, and after cleaning up the mess in the future, the number of the Huns will decrease sharply, and it will be more difficult to deal with those rebellious Hu people, you must know that the prosperity of the national strength in this period depends on the number of the country's population, the number of people is large, the number of troops is naturally more, the number of people is small, the number of troops is naturally small, if you want to increase the number of people, you can't do it without twenty years, twenty years is too long, how many twenty years are there in life? Qin Dong didn't want to wait for twenty years to wait until the population had increased a lot before raising troops south to end the rule of the Roman Empire. Therefore, in order to reduce losses as much as possible, it is necessary to end the civil strife as quickly as possible and in the shortest possible time.
The commanders of the thousand answered with a loud voice: "Yes, my lord! ”
The territory of the other four commanders who are not his own people, one of them is called Marcus, who is a person of Enek, whose territory is in the southwest, bordering Serbia and Macedonia, and also borders the newly acquired territory of Qindong, and there is also a commander named Moldo, who is also a person of Enek, whose territory is on the shore of the Black Sea, located in the northeast of the territory of Qindong, bordering the territory of Qindong, and the other two commanders of Inno and Meizer are in the area north of the Balkan Mountains, and their territory borders the territory of the current Enek, However, these two commanders are not Enek's people, this is the only thing that makes Moduo and Qin Dong and others gratifying, if the two of them are Enek's people, it is basically impossible to eradicate them with Modo's strength, because Enek can raise troops south at any time and cross the Danube River to support.
Modo asked someone to bring out a simple map, this kind of map was also made thanks to the help of the Romans, and where the Huns could draw the map, they relied on memory.
"You see, we can ignore Marcus in the southwest and Moldor on the Black Sea coast, they are Enek's people, but their territory is far from Enek's current location, and the middle is our men and territory, we must first kill Eno and Meize in the north, seize their territory, and prevent them from abandoning Ernak and Deng Zhixik and join Enek, this is our first goal, the second is to start dealing with Moldor on the Black Sea coast, and finally the other party's Marcus in the southwest, what do you think?"
The commanders all agreed with Mo Duo's strategy, but Qin Dong thought carefully. His current strength is strong, the main force is five or six thousand, and there are more than 13,000 recruits still in training. Now it is completely possible to draw out the main force to expand his territory, and he does not need to think about the territory of Ino and Meizer north of the Balkan Mountains, but the territory of Marcus in the southwest and the territory of Moldor in the northeast are neighbors with him, and these two territories can be imagined.
If you can occupy these two territories, the benefits are many, and the southwest Marcus is mountainous and the terrain is complex. It was good for the defense of the south, and if it was attacked from there, it could cut off Macedonia and the Western Roman Empire by land. And there are rich mineral resources there, there are rumors that there is a gold mine there, and Marcus has been sending people to look for it, but they have not found it. To the northeast, Moldow, on the shores of the Black Sea. Qin Dong took a fancy to the sea here, as long as he occupied it, he could build a fleet, and even train a navy, he could trade with the Eastern Roman Empire by sea, and once the two sides fell out, he could also attack Constantinople from the sea.
Qin Dong asked, "I don't know when the two adults are going to start?" ”
Modo and Lored glanced at each other, and Lored said, "There has to be a time to prepare." I'll decide when I get back from you! ”
Qin Dong thought about it, too, military deployment and army mobilization took time to prepare. Only when he is ready can he ensure that there are no worries, he rolled his eyes, pointed to the territory of Marcus in the southwest and the territory of Moldor in the northeast, and said: "Since the two adults are ready to do it, wouldn't I not live up to Da Danyu's expectations if I don't make some efforts?" Two adults, you see if this will work, Lord Modo, you are responsible for dealing with Ino and Meize in the north, and Marcus in the southwest and Mordo on the Black Sea coast will be handed over to me, and we will both do it at the same time! ”
After all, Qin Dong had just fought a battle with the Germanic people in the south and the Western Roman Empire, and Mo Duo and Lored didn't expect him to be able to draw troops to participate in this battle, but now Qin Dong himself proposed to take Marcus in the southwest and Moldor on the Black Sea coast, Mo Duo couldn't help asking: "General Qin, you just finished the war with the Western Roman army, don't your army need to rest?" And if you have to deal with Marcus and Moldo at the same time, it is equivalent to fighting on two fronts, and I am worried that you will not be able to handle it."
Qin Dong said with a smile: "The two adults don't have to worry, it's been a few months since the last war, the soldiers have long since rested, and now they are all in good spirits, as for the problem of two-front combat that Lord Modo said, I thought it was not a problem at all, Marcus's territory is mountainous, the terrain is complex, and it is not suitable for cavalry to fight, but his army is basically cavalry, and I am different, I not only have cavalry, but also infantry, it is easy to capture Chusten, as long as I send an infantry commander, it can be done, For Moldor by the Northeast Sea, I decided to go out in person and take Moldowowa in the shortest possible time, hoping that the two adults would allow it! ”
With Qin Dong's current status, he is equivalent to Mo Duo and has the same official position, but Mo Duo is an old qualified captain after all, and the two places he wants to fight were Modo's territory before, so he must ask for the consent of Mo Duo and Lored, after all, now everyone is an ally in the same trench, it is better to maintain a good relationship as much as possible if you can not fight evil, and it is not wise to make enemies on all sides after all.
Mo Duo looked at Lored and wanted to ask for his opinion, Lorid nodded and said: "Captain Qin Dong Wanfu wants to work for Da Dan Yu, and it is a good thing to share a little pressure for Lord Modo, Lord Modo, I think it is okay, so that you can concentrate on dealing with Eno and Maize in the north, and you don't have to worry about danger behind you and on your side!" ”
"Well, well, since Lord Lored said so, then leave Marcus and Mordo to Lord Qin Dong to deal with!" Mo Duo agreed a little unwillingly, these two places used to be his territory, if they were captured by Qin Dong, Qin Dong would definitely occupy them, but he was afraid that they would not be handed back to him, and he was embarrassed to ask Qin Dong for them, so he was reluctant to hand over these two places to Qin Dong to deal with, but Lorid spoke, and he didn't want to give Lorid face, and in addition, he only had five thousand commanders in his hands now, and it was still difficult to deal with four thousand commanders, in order to ensure the chance of victory, It's better to leave Marcus and Moldor to Qin Dong to deal with.
