After talking about sending troops to Panronia, Qin Dong said another important thing, that is, the killing of the envoy sent to the north of Deng Zhixike.

"The envoy sent by the royal court to the territory of Deng Zhixik has been killed, I think what does this mean, I don't need to say that everyone knows, right? Tell me how we should deal with this and how we should deal with it. ”

Zhong Hui was the first to stand up and salute Qin Dong and said: "Great King, the minister thinks that Deng Zhixike is despising the royal court by killing the envoy sent by the royal court, that is, openly opposing the royal court, if we let it go, as if we don't know, hehe, I think other princes will definitely follow the same example in the future, in the long run, the prestige of the royal court will no longer exist, the rights of the regent palace and the authority of the king will be questioned, the minister thinks that he should mobilize a large army to raise the northern expedition, crusade against Deng Zhixike, and arrest him to Saidika for questioning, Only in this way can the prestige of the royal court be established and the authority of the king can be established."

After Zhong Hui's words were finished, he sat down, some officials agreed with his point of view, all nodded and expressed their support, but there were also officials who disagreed, Pethius was one of them, he said: "The king, the minister thinks that this matter is not suitable to move troops, we want to send 20,000 people to Panronia, the situation over there is not clear, even if we want to go north to crusade against Deng Zhixik, we have to wait for the situation in Panzhinia to stabilize before talking, if we mobilize a large army to go north to crusade against Deng Zhixik now, in case something happens to Panronia, how do we deal with it?" Fighting on two fronts is a big taboo! It is not impossible, even if General Duoyin can get along with Sambus and Urgan, he will be able to withstand the attack of the Gepid in the north. But don't forget, the Ostrogoths now live in western Panronia, and they can attack Lorid at any time. If Sambus and Urgan relax a little, Diodmir will be free to deal with Lored! ”

Peteaus's words were not unreasonable, and many officials began to whisper to each other, and some nodded their heads as they listened to others.

Qin Dong looked at Felton and asked, "Feltun, what do you think?" ”

Felton got up and saluted Qin Dong and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhong Hui and Lord Petheus said is very reasonable, but the minister prefers that it is not appropriate to use troops at this time. The reason is that it is winter, and the long-distance campaign is extremely inconvenient for logistics and supply, and once the road is closed by heavy snow. Our army going north will be in a very dangerous situation, and if we must go on the expedition, we will not be able to do so until the ice and snow melt in the spring, but there are still a few months before the ice and snow melt in the spring. After a long time, the people and soldiers will forget about it. The spirit is gone, so we must prepare for the northern expedition in these few months, on the one hand, we must make logistical preparations, and on the other hand, we must continue to preach this matter to the people and soldiers, so that the heat of this matter will not be reduced, so that the soldiers and the people will always maintain this spirit! ”

Felton's words can be said to have gone up in Qin Dong's heart, from a military point of view, with the current climate. Under the current conditions, it is taboo for soldiers to send troops to the north in winter. But in this matter, Qin Dong can't be too bland, otherwise others will think that he is a soft persimmon, and he will pinch it if he wants to in the future, but the reality does not allow him to send troops now, this kind of thing cannot be said by himself, and now it is best for Felton to help him say it, and he also proposed a solution.

Many ministers agreed with Felton's words, believing that this was the best way now, as long as anyone who knew a little about military affairs knew that it was not appropriate to send troops now, the climate was too harsh, and it was unknown whether the army could reach Deng Zhixik's lair.

Qin Dong also knew that it could not be said that Petus and Zhong Hui were wrong, their starting points were good, but they considered it too one-sidedly, Peteus considered it from the military principle that it could not fight on two fronts, while Zhong Hui considered it politically.

Although Felton also considered it militarily first, the entry point he considered was the most important thing to pay attention to, the time was not on his side, and even if he sent troops, he would be defeated before fighting, so what else to fight?

"Ahem!" Qin Dong coughed twice, the officials below stopped talking, sat upright and opened their ears wide, Qin Dong said after seeing that no one was talking: "The three adults have all expounded their views from different aspects, and they all make sense, should they raise troops to march north, or wait for the weather to warm up before discussing this matter?" This depends on whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, the three adults just said their own opinions, comprehensive the opinions of the three adults, I believe you should know how we should choose, yes, at this stage we should not find Deng Zhixike trouble, wait until the spring weather warms up, we will discuss the matter of sending troops to the north.

However, what I want to tell you is that we have only put this matter on hold for the time being, and when the conditions are ripe, we must immediately march north, otherwise the authority of the royal court will be lost, the authority of this king will be lost, and your reputation will probably become bad!

It's not that we just don't care about this matter, Lord Felton also said just now that we must keep preaching this matter to the soldiers and the people, and we must not let the soldiers and the people forget about this matter, and we must tell them that we must wait until the weather warms up in the beginning of spring before going north! ”

All the officials stood up and saluted Qin Dong and shouted: "The king is wise! ”

Qin Dong's eyes swept around, and when his gaze swept to Charlie Cao and Agul, he stopped, and said with a smile: "Left National Teacher Agul, Right National Master Cao Charlie, playing tricks has always been your strong point, this matter will be handled by you, so that the soldiers and the people can not forget the matter of Deng Zhixike killing the messenger we sent, not only that, but you also have to preach to the people everywhere the various decrees of the royal court, to tell the people to be loyal to the royal court, all ethnic groups must unite and be courteous to each other, in short, You must not do anything that destroys unity, you must obey the decrees issued by the royal court, pay taxes on time, and perform military service! ”

Charlie Cao and Agul glanced at each other, and saluted Qin Dong, "Respect the King's Order!" ”

In order to integrate all kinds of forces together, Qin Dong also had to use some people he didn't want to use, Agul was one of them, Agul was a shaman, he was a person from Enek before, and he had a high prestige among the Huns, and appointing him could strengthen the Huns' sense of identity with the new royal court, which was also a matter of no choice, he and Charlie Cao were both religious people, and they were more good at divination and calculation, so Qin Dong wrote to Dadan Yu Enek to canonize them as the left and right national teachers.

After the meeting, the various departments began to prepare, especially the military logistics department, Duoyin was also preparing to lead the troops to Panronia, he was originally the commander of the Ninth Legion, each legion only had 12,000 people, and there were 8,000 troops left, for this matter he specially stayed to ask to see Qin Dong.

After the guards came in with Duoyin, Qin Dong asked, "General Duoyin is here for the gap of the other eight thousand people?" ”

Duoyin saluted: "Yes, the king, please also ask the king to transfer 8,000 heavy infantry to the last general, otherwise with only one legion, the last general will not be able to gain a firm foothold in Panronia, which is surrounded by enemies on all sides!" ”

Qin Dong stood up and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to transfer 8,000 people from other legions with complete establishment to you, think about it, if you want to transfer 3,000 people from your Ninth Legion, and these 3,000 people don't know when they will be rebuilt, are you willing?" ”

Polyphony: "This .......".

Walking a few steps, Qin Dong stopped and said: "This way, there are 8,000 Burgundians in Belgrade who have been completely trained, and when you take your Ninth Legion to Panronia, you will be brought over by Belgrade, and these 8,000 people will be handed over to Rustong, and he will be your deputy to assist you, but these 8,000 people have not experienced battles, and they are still recruits, and they are probably too far from any regular legion of our army in terms of combat effectiveness, so you will continue to train after you bring them to Panronia, and if necessary, let them see blood!" ”

"Thank you, King!" Duoyin thought for a while and said: "If there is a loss of troops, I wonder if the royal court can replenish the general?" ”

Qin Dong nodded: "Of course, the military department already has a regulation, all recruits are under the management of the military department's recruit recruitment department, and other legions and local garrisons are not allowed to exceed their authority and recruit soldiers without authorization, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, if there is a loss of troops, it must be reported to the military department, and the military department will replenish the legions in time, you don't have to worry about this!" ”

Five days later, the preparations for the march of the Ninth Army to the west of Panronia were complete, and the rations consisted of three parts, the first part of the live livestock, three thousand heads of cattle and sheep wrapped in them, the second part of which was 300,000 pounds of ground semolina, and the third part of which was 300,000 gold coins! The gold coins were mainly used to buy food from local herders along the way or after arriving in Panronia.

Seven days later, outside the West Gate of Saidika, the Ninth Army was ready to go, Qin Dong led a cadre of Wenchen generals out of the West Gate to see off Duoyin and the Ninth Army, this time stationed in Panronia, with Duoyin as the main general, with Ruth as the deputy general, although Ruth is a very black big man, but quite wise, Qin Dong appointed him as Duoyin's deputy for a reason.

There are only 200 wagons loaded with grain, as well as 3,000 cattle and sheep, which need to be handled by special people, and there is no need to worry about the food problem from Saidica to the northwestern part of Serbia, because there are grain storage warehouses in various cities along the way, which are used to stabilize the price of grain in peacetime, and can be requisitioned as military rations in wartime, and Qin Dong allowed Duoyin to buy military rations in various cities along the way and bring them to Panjonia.

After that, the military rations of the Ninth Army need to be transported from Saidica to Panronia, and the loss in the process of transportation is very large, but this is also a matter of no way, and now the materials are not too rich, especially the grain, which must be used in the plan, and can only be transported from Saidica to Panronia, and then change this mode of transportation with too much loss after the materials are abundant, and then change this mode of transportation with too much loss after the currency reform.
