After taking the kingdom of Alemanni as his own vassal state, Qin Dong was not satisfied with this, the Alemanni had become vassals of the Huns in the time of Attila, and their army had also become Attila's servant army, and appeared in the chalons, Qin Dong believed that the annexation of the Alemanni kingdom as a vassal state was just a recollection of the barbarians who had escaped from the control of the Huns, and there was nothing to show off.

Now the eastern border area of the Hu Empire is still stable, the Avars in the area east of the lower reaches of the Attila River (Volga River) have not yet had the courage to cross the Attila River to invade the territory of the Hu Empire, and the remnants of tens of thousands of horses of Deng Zhixik have also moved south along the east bank of the Caspian Sea, and they have no strength for revenge for the time being, and the Eastern Roman Empire in the southeast is recuperating after quelling the civil strife and fighting a war with the Sassanid Dynasty of the Persian Empire, and they do not have the strength to provoke the behemoth of the Hu Empire.

On the contrary, the western border of the Hu Empire is quite unstable, since the Western Roman Emperor Majorian led the army to pacify the situation in Gaul, many barbarians who were rampant in Gaul were afraid of Majorian's might and had to withdraw to the north or northwest to avoid its edge, coupled with Majorian's battle against Theodoric II in the Visigothic Kingdom, he returned with a great victory, and the limelight was unrivaled for a while, and many Germanic barbarians nesting in northern Gaul and Belgium did not dare to go south, so they had to continue to retreat north.

These Germanic barbarians retreated to fulfill Majorian's wishes, but they posed a great threat to the borders of the Hu Empire, which was absolutely not allowed by Qin Dong, and said that Lao Tzu did not go to fight you, but there was green smoke on your ancestral tomb. Are you still Lao Tzu?

The eight hundred li that had been harassed on the western border several times in a row was rushed to Saidika, and Qin Dong felt that the situation was severe, and these barbarians did not remember to eat. In the era of Attila, these barbarians trembled under the obscenity of the Huns, and did not dare to resist at all, that was because the Huns were ruthless and fierce enough, and if they were disobedient, they would fight and exterminate the tribe, so those barbarians were honest, after so many years of civil strife in the Hun Empire, the deterrent power of the Hun Empire to the barbarians plummeted. In addition, Qin Dong has not taken any measures against the Germanic barbarians in the west in recent years, and the wars are basically to pacify the civil strife and confront the Eastern Empire, and the Germanic barbarians in the west are still unclear about Qin Dong's attitude towards them. These successive border harassments may have been a tentative act by the Germanic barbarians, but it is also possible that they were forced to survive and were eager to expand their living space, but either way. Qin Dong was wondering if he could let them get his wish. These barbarians must be given a dismount with the toughest posture.

"Come on, ring the bell to convene an emergency court meeting!" Qin Dong immediately went berserk after receiving the official letter that the fourth eight-hundred-mile expedited border was being harassed.

In addition to the regular and large court meetings, there are also emergency court meetings, which are generally held in case of emergencies, and because of the urgency of time, it is too late to send eunuchs to the minister's house to notify one by one, so the method of ringing the bell is adopted. If the emperor has an urgent matter to discuss with his ministers collectively, or if there is a serious accident in the palace. Generally, the bell must be ringed to summon the ministers, and the bell is usually not allowed to be ringed. For example, important events such as the death of the emperor need to ring the bell to show mourning, and the number of times the bell is ringed to represent what happened.

An hour after the bell rang, the courtiers rushed to the outside of the palace, entered the palace under the guidance of the eunuch on duty, and met the emperor in the main hall of the government affairs hall.

After the ministers paid their respects, Qin Dong said: "Okay, all the ministers get up, I will summon you to come today for nothing else, this is the report that I have received in the past three days in a row that the fourth western border has been harassed by barbarians, originally I thought that your ministers are already very tired from dealing with various government affairs, and I want to wait until the day after tomorrow to discuss this matter, but it seems that this matter may not wait for the day after tomorrow to discuss the huge changes, so I summoned all the ministers to discuss it in such a hurry." Hadlin, recite these four recitals to your ministers! ”

"Yes!" Hadlin agreed, and respectfully took the four reports in Qin Dong's hand and read them.

The meaning of the report is very clear, that is, on the border between the Hu Empire and Belgium and Lugtunsith, it has been harassed by the Franks and Burgundians from time to time in the past few days, and some Germanic tribes that have been submissive to the Hu Empire have been sacked by the barbarian armies of the Franks and Burgundians, and the men, women and children in the villages and tribes have basically been killed, and only a few have fled, and the local Hu Empire has reported that the villages and tribes have been sacked by the Franks and Burgundians.

Lugerdonsius, a name given to the Roman Empire at its height, was a province that encompassed the central and northern parts of present-day France. The territory of France was roughly divided into three parts during this period, the central and northern provinces were the provinces of Lugton Sith, but this province no longer existed in the Western Roman Empire, and had been occupied by the Franks and Burgundians, and the other was the western and southwestern provinces, known as the province of Aquitaine Gaul, part of which was occupied by the Franks, and most of which was the territory of the Visigothic kingdom, and the other part was the southeast of France, which extended to the Mediterranean coast, and this territory was called the province of Gaul. Most of the area was the territory of the Visigothic kingdom, and only a small part of the northeast was the territory of the kingdom of Alemanni.

At this time, the Franks did not have a unified country, and the Franks were divided into many tribes, and did not form a unified tribal alliance, and the Sally tribe led by Hildrik was among these Germanic barbarians who moved north at this time, and this time they also participated in the sack.

In addition to the Franks, the borders of the Hu Empire were harassed by the Burgundians, who had already established their own kingdoms, located on the shores of Lake Geneva and the Rhône and Saône rivers in France.

The Burgundians belonged to the tribes of the Eastern Germanic peoples, who migrated from Scandinavia to the Danish island of Bernholm and then to the European continent.

The Burgundians migrated to the west bank of the Rhine and annexed the Roman Empire, establishing the first Burgundian kingdom, known as a vassal of the Roman Empire. In 370 AD, the Western Roman Empire listed the Burgundians as a tribe to finance against the Germanic barbarians Alemanni, but the Burgundians were not under a unified command and often raided the Roman province of Gaul.

In 411 AD, the king of Burgundy supported a Roman puppet emperor Jovinus, invaded the east bank of the Rhine in his name, and in 436 AD was defeated by the Roman army and the Huns, and the remaining Burgundian migrated to the shores of Lake Geneva, developed westward, and gradually controlled the Rhône and Saône river basins in what is now France, and established the second Burgundian kingdom.

The current king of the Kingdom of Burgundy is the second king Gundobard, who had a good relationship with the Catholic bishop of Venice, and his son Sigismund converted to Catholicism, which led to the conversion of many Burgundians to Christianity during this period.

After Hadlin finished reciting the four reincarnations and stepped aside, Qin Dong patted the royal case and said angrily, "Did you hear it all clearly?" It's only been a few days, and two counties have already been sacked by the Franks and Burgundians, and all of them have been burned to the ground, leaving nothing behind! It will take seven or eight days for the 800 li expedited from the western border to be sent here, which means that it has been more than ten days since the Franks and Burgundians sacked our western counties. I have already asked the Imperial Dining Room to prepare lunch, so you don't have to go back to eat at noon today, you all stay until a result is reached, and there must be a clear resolution today, otherwise you will not be allowed to go home! ”

There are often many political matters that can not be decided at a moment's notice, a thing, some ministers are against it, some ministers are in favor, and some people have an indifferent attitude, each of them has its own reasons, therefore, in most cases, the topics discussed in the court generally have to be discussed several times, and some even have to delay for a month or two or even half a year before there is a clear result, and things like today's Qin Dong requiring that a result must be produced within one day rarely happens, this time it can be said that it is the first one, But this is also understandable, after all, military affairs are not child's play, and more importantly, they cannot be delayed and cannot be delayed.

None of the civil officials stood up to speak, and the military generals saw Su He's class and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister is sensible, he only knows that only we beat others, and no one else dares to beat us, but now someone takes the initiative to beat us, is our empire not as good as the previous Xiongnu Empire?" Have we lost the blood that our ancestors gave us? ”

But he didn't want Prime Minister Petheus to stand up and object: "General Su He, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you have to fight a war not long after the founding of the country, and fighting a war requires money. ”

Peteaus's words aroused the dissatisfaction of the military personnel, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Batu, came out and said: "Your Excellency, you are not right to say this, no matter what you do in the rear, there is no need to worry about your life, right?" How can it be compared to our soldiers fighting the enemy at the front? As long as we are out on the march, we will live with our heads pinned to our belts all day long, and we may be cut off at some point, which is like your comfortable drought and flood harvest!
