Chapter 92: Pre-War Deployment
(Thanks: Brother Prodigal Soldier rewarded 100 starting coins, and Brother Zhen of God rewarded 100 starting coins)
The conflict finally did not happen, and the matter quickly subsided, and except for the logistics officer, Qin Dong conveyed an order for all centurion-level officers and officials to gather around him to discuss matters.
In the field, there is nothing to pay attention to, Qin Dong took the lead in sitting on the ground, and then asked all the officers and officials to sit down, these people were divided into two columns facing each other in front of him, in addition to Ramado, Tinis, and Sankundo, there were also Qin Dong's subordinate centurion Su He and the other four centurions of the light cavalry, plus a few staff members who came with Qin Dong from Pana, these staff members used to be Vatur's people, and after Vatur's death, they had no master, so they took refuge in Qin Dong.
"I believe most people know the purpose of our assembly here, let me report the situation again, yesterday we received news that the Germans of Razlog in the south decided to send troops to raid my Pazar camp, including 300 cavalry and 700 infantry, this time they can be said to be pouring out, according to the information we have received, we learned that the leader of this army is the leader of one of the three Germanic tribes in the south, Manlarik, and he has a general named Odoase, this person is brave and unusual, and cunning like a fox, extremely difficult to deal with!
According to the time calculation, they have now set out, and will pass by the lake in the middle of the night, of course this is only my speculation, just in case, I have also sent scouts to reconnoiter on the other road to the west, if they do not take this road, but take the road to the west, we can also get the news very quickly, intercept them before they reach the camp of Pazar, and destroy them all, and now give the order: Tinis, Sanquindo! ”
When Tinis and Sankundo heard Qin Dong call their names, they immediately stood up: "My lord, I am here!" ”
"Once Manlarik and his army appear on the lakeside, the two of you will block the northern end of the lakeshore with your headquarters, and you will not be allowed to rush past you with your men!"
Both of them received the order at the same time: "Yes, my lord! ”
Qin Dong said again: "Ramado! ”
"In!"
Qin Dong said: "You take your four hundred cavalry to ambush in the south of the east bank of Lake Bataka, if Manlaric and Odoasse and their men and horses come, you must immediately move west with your four hundred cavalry to block their retreat back to Razlog, if one of them runs away, Lord Ben will ask for you!" Got it? ”
Ramado had to bow his head: "Yes, my lord!" ”
"Good!" Qin Dong withdrew his gaze from Ramado, and then said to the others, "The others are lying in ambush here with me, waiting for my orders!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Dong said again: "Now let's talk about the distribution principle of the spoils after the war, I, Qin Dong, will never treat the soldiers badly, as long as I win the battle, the reward will definitely not be less, my principle is to distribute the spoils according to the number of troops and the results of the war, first of all, all the spoils will be handed over, and one-third will be given to the soldiers, those who kill more enemies will get more loot, and those who kill less enemies will get less, and the officers who send more troops will get more spoils than the officers who send fewer troops, if the enemy surrenders, the soldiers can no longer kill, It's captive, it's money! Bring the captives back! Do you have any comments? ”
In addition to Qin Dong's direct officers, Ramado, Tinis, Sankundo and others didn't expect Qin Dong to be so generous, and they also distributed spoils of war to them, since Qin Dong was so generous, they were naturally willing, and they all readily agreed.
Ramado, Tinis, and Sankundo left with their men and horses to go to their ambush site, and the hill suddenly became quiet, and Qin Dong arranged for the officers to let the soldiers rest well after dinner, recuperate, feed the horses, and send scouts to reconnoiter the situation within a radius of thirty miles.
There was a staff member next to him who had only surrendered a day ago and said with some concern: "My lord, the lower official sees that Rama is cruel and cunning by nature, and he is definitely not a person who is willing to surrender, will he not stop going?" Went straight back to Plov's lair? If so, our encirclement is incomplete".
Another staff member shook his head and disagreed with him, "According to the analysis of his subordinates, he shouldn't be, he doesn't dare, Ramado is a very smart person, he should know that even without him and the other two armies, just our six hundred cavalry is enough to ambush Manlaric and Odoasai with a thousand people, and the subordinates guess that the reason why the lord called them is to reduce the losses of their own troops and horses, and pass on the other losses to Ramado, Tinis, and Sankundo, and these three people blocked Manlarik's way of advance and retreat, And we are ambushed on the flanks, and on the other side is the Great Lake, so the losses at both ends will definitely be much greater than ours! If he dares to leave like this, isn't he afraid of the trouble that adults will find him afterwards? ”
The other two staff members couldn't help but nod when they heard this person's words, Qin Dong smiled and watched everyone discuss, although these staff members are not resourceful, but after all, they are not comparable to ordinary people, they are much stronger than those who play soy sauce, and sometimes they can still come up with some ghost ideas!
This staff member analyzed it well, Qin Dong did have the idea of passing on the loss to Ramado, Tinys, and Sangkundo, and he also wanted to see how these people treated him Qin Dong, although Tinis and Sangkundo were a little cautious in their hearts, and they also had the intention of letting him and Ramado fight, but the strength of these two people was limited, and their own abilities were not enough to dominate one side, but the only thing that made Qin Dong pay attention to was Ramado, this person could run rampant here with the position of a centurion for so many years, And to develop an army that has reached the strength of a commander is really not a simple character. What Qin Dong attaches great importance to is that Ramado is a person who can bend and stretch, can clearly judge the shape, and knows how to seek good fortune and avoid evil, such a person is a potential hero!
The first staff member to speak said: "My lord, it is difficult for Ramado to really surrender, in the opinion of humility, it is better to take this opportunity to kill him, after killing him, the lord will send his henchmen to take over the people and horses left by him, and take back his territory, only by recovering those uncontrolled territories, can the territory of the adults really achieve the unity of government decrees, in the Roman Empire, once the local army forms a separatist trend, it will be a big trouble, not only is it difficult for the government decree to be transmitted to the local provinces, but also the local army of the division intercepts taxes." , so that the empire has no money to use, and such a situation will cause turmoil and division in the country! Please pay attention! ”
Qin Dong didn't expect that there were such insightful people among his subordinates, and they would actually see the signs of secession and the danger brought about by secession. From ancient times to the present, if an empire cannot centralize power in the center, it will be difficult for the country to truly calm down, and it will not have the energy to engage in production and development with peace of mind.
Qin Dong nodded: "The construction of a few gentlemen is very good, and the contemptible people will consider it carefully, but at this stage, Lord Ben can't do anything to these people, Lord Ben just said that he wants to unite, but he attacked them behind his back, so how do other people think of Lord Ben?" They will say that Lord Ben is a person who goes back on his word and says one thing and does another, which is not the reputation that Lord Ben hopes to get, and every word that Lord Ben wants to say is a golden mouth, the most credible and authoritative words! ”
After hearing this, the staff looked at each other, stood up and saluted, "Your Excellency! ”
