In December 454 AD, Qin Dong married Princess Sula, Edika's daughter, and Martha was married to Qin Dong at the same time, Qin Dong reported the matter to Dadan Yu Erak, asking for canonization, and Erak, who was fighting against Deng Zhixik at the mouth of the Carpathian Mountains, canonized Martha and Sula as princesses, Erak was originally worried about Edika's position, and now Qin Dong married Edika's daughter, Erak put his mind at ease and couldn't wait to send someone to the Balkans to announce his canonization edict.

Although Sula herself was very reluctant to marry Qin Dong, and had committed suicide twice, each time she was rescued, and on the day of her wedding, she was forcibly married back to the mansion of the king of the Eastern Courtyard by Qin Dong.

A few days after the wedding, Qin Dong began to be busy with political affairs, and on this day Liu San came to report: "Wang, the situation seems to be a little wrong!" ”

Qin Dong put down the quill and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Liu San took a sip of hot water and said: "King, according to the report of the spies we have planted in the royal court, the new Ostrogothic king Dior Demir and King Gepid Aldaric have each sent 15,000 cavalry to the Carpathian Pass to support Da Dan Yu Erak, it can be said that the main cavalry is exhausted, and Da Dan Yu also transferred 10,000 horsemen from the royal court, and now Da Dan Yu can use about 50,000 troops on the front line, but what is strange is that Dio Demir and Aldaric personally led the army to the front line, these two people have declared neutrality before, and Aldaric is still Deng Zhixik's father-in-law, and the father-in-law beats his son-in-law, which is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it, at the same time. Today, a strange caravan came from Saidika's side, which seemed to be coming from the northwest, after investigation. We found out that they were Diordemir's men, and they had reached out to Edhika for a secret conversation, but we didn't get the content of their secret conversation! ”

What is the reason why Dior Demir and Aldaric choose to side with the big single Erak? In any case, it is beneficial for Qin Dong for these two people to choose to stand on the side of Erak now, after all, with the addition of these two subordinate nations in their own camp, their troops are much more abundant and their strength is also stronger. The odds are great, but Qin Dong also feels the smell of conspiracy in it like Liu San.

Diodemir sent someone to see Edika to warn Qin Dong, who was well acquainted with the former Ostrogothic king Valamir. But he doesn't know about his son Diodmir, and it can be said that he has never seen it, what does this Diodmir want to do when he sends someone to Sedeka to meet Edika?

Qin Dong thought for a long time and ordered: "Secretly monitor their every move, and you can't relax for a moment. Especially Edika. The current situation is very complicated, we can't be careless when we go, and there are still big orders over there, and the movements of the two people of Dio Demir and Aldaric must also be closely monitored! ”

"Understood!" Liu San nodded solemnly.

Three days later, Liu San brought another shocking news, Dadan Yu Erak saw that reinforcements had arrived, and the troops in his hands were very sufficient. Therefore, he personally led his troops out of the customs to fight a decisive battle with Deng Zhixike, who was weak. Having the upper hand in the battle, he then chose to retreat, and Dadan Yu Elak immediately led his army to follow and pursue him all the way.

Qin Dong frowned and asked, "You mean that Erak went with a large army to pursue Deng Zhixik?" ”

"Yes! However, Dior Demir and Aldaric did not pursue with Erak, they stayed, but each sent two thousand horsemen to pursue with Erak! ”

Hearing this news, Qin Dong knew that Dadan Yu Erak was only afraid that this time it would be more than lucky, and it was in history that Erak was defeated and killed in this pursuit.

Once Erak is defeated and dies, then the Xiongnu court will definitely be torn apart, because Erak's son is still too young to stabilize the situation, and at that time, except for Deng Zhixike and Enek, all parts of the Xiongnu Empire must be divided by warlords and go their own way.

Qin Dong thought for a while and asked, "Is there any other news?" ”

Liu San said: "The person secretly sent by Dior Demir to see Edika has just left the city, and now our people are following them?" Do you want to withdraw people? ”

Qin Dong suddenly had an idea in his mind, raised his hand and said, "No, immediately send someone to secretly arrest the people sent by Dior Demir, and don't let anyone find out!" ”

Liu San saw Qin Dong's stern face, and immediately said, "Yes, I'll do it immediately!" ”

Only one day later, Liu San really brought another shocking news, Diordemir and Aldaric led their troops to suddenly rebel, captured all the 2,000 Hun soldiers who remained in the Carpathian Mountain Range, and took charge of the defense of the mountain pass, only half a day later, these two people left 5,000 people to guard the prisoners and guard the mountain pass, but they disappeared without a trace with the main cavalry of 20,000 and 5 horsemen.

After hearing the news, Qin Dong knew that Erak was hopeless, even if he knew that Diordemir and Aldaric had already taken 25,000 horsemen to the way back to Elac to lay an ambush, it was too late to inform Erak at this time, Qin Dong could only watch history develop like this.

"Where are the men sent by Dior Demir to contact Edica?" After careful consideration, Qin Dong still decided to deal with Edika, and now it was time to solve it, because he didn't have time to wait.

Liu San said: "Locked up in a private house, no one has ever touched them!" ”

Qin Dong got up and said, "Take me there!" ”

"Yes!"

The two changed into civilian clothes, and rushed to the house while it was dark, and there were a total of more than a dozen people who were arrested, Liu San introduced beside him: "It's them, there were originally more than 20 people in a caravan, but when they were captured, they resisted, and we killed eight of them, and the others are here, and the middle-aged man with a long beard in the middle is the leader, and he also contacted Enek."

Qin Dong asked, "Did you interrogate anything?" ”

Liu San shook his head and said: "Yesterday I was interrogated all night, and nothing came out, these entourages may not know the purpose of their coming here at all, and there should only be two or three who know the truth!" ”

Qin Dong thought for a while and said, "Pull out the person who may know the truth out for trial alone, and I will sue you for how to try it." Come here! As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Liu San's ear.

Liu San nodded while listening, and finally said, "Okay, I'll order it right away!" ”

Liu San instructed his subordinates to conduct interrogations. Qin Dong was waiting next door, and after two hours, there was finally a person who couldn't stay up, and Qin Dong immediately decided to ask in person when he got the report.

"What's your name?" A few minutes later, Qin Dong looked at a young Ostrogothic sitting across from him and asked.

The young man was a little emaciated, not at all as strong and tall as the other Ostrogoths, and Qin Dong sat across from him and stared at him without blinking, making him feel a huge amount of pressure. Uncomfortable.

"Aaron, my name is Aaron!" The young man's gaze at Qin Dong was a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look directly. Maybe Qin Dong's eyes were too sharp.

Qin Dong restrained his momentum and asked relaxedly, "Okay, Aaron, you see that you are still very young. You have a long way to live. You can do a lot of things, make a lot of money, you can get a wife and have you a baby, and then you can live happily together as a family, isn't it? I've heard you're willing to tell us what you're here for, isn't that? ”

"Yes, yes!" Aaron licked his dry lips.

Seeing this, Qin Dong shook his head to a person next to him: "Give him a bowl of hot mutton soup!" ”

"Yes!"

The hot mutton soup was quickly served, and Aaron took it and couldn't wait to divide it into several sips and drink it clean. After putting down the pottery bowl, he said: "Diordemmir has sent us to meet King Edika in order to persuade King Edica to join us in the rebellion against the Huns. Guchino was mainly responsible for this, oh, the bearded middle-aged man, and Brad and I were just assisting him! ”

Sure enough, Qin Dong said in his heart, and asked again: "Then do you know what the specific plan of Dior Demir and Aldaric is?" ”

"I don't know, but I think Gucino must have known the whole plan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to convince Edika to join the alliance, and I also know that he came with an alliance, but because Eddica rejected Gucino on the spot and kicked us out, and threatened to kill us if we didn't leave immediately!"

Qin Dong nodded and asked again: "Then do you know the specific content of the covenant?" ”

Aaron shook his head: "I don't know, only Guchino knows!" ”

Qin Dong got up and ordered: "Send him some food and warm clothes, don't let our friends suffer from cold and starvation!" ”

"Understood!"

Under the separate and individual interrogation one by one, Qin Dong used the fact that Aaron had confessed that Aaron had betrayed Guchino and Brad, Brad soon couldn't stand it, and also confessed, and finally Guchino finally collapsed his psychological defense after learning that he was betrayed by Brad and Aaron, and told him the real purpose of coming at this time and the content of the covenant that Diodmir asked him to bring.

On the other side, Liu San and Aaron were alone in a room, and after Aaron ate a table of sumptuous wine and food, Liu San clapped his palms, the door was pushed open, and a strong man walked in with a bag and put it on the table, and then retreated.

Liu San opened the bag, grabbed a handful of gold coins from it, and then let the gold coins fall from between his fingers to make a crisp sound, Aaron's eyes were straight, how much does this bag of gold coins have?

"Big, big, sir, what are you?"

Liu San smiled and said, "Young man, do you see it?" These are gold coins, golden gold coins, the money you can't earn in your life will appear in front of you now, as long as you promise to help me do something, this bag of gold coins is yours, and then you can take it and live the life you want to live! ”

Aaron swallowed, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, as long as you help me be a witness and prove to others that your caravan was sent by Dior Demir to lobby Edika, and lobbying will not succeed in assassinating him, you see, this matter is very easy, only by moving your mouth, you can get money that you will not use up for the rest of your life!"

Aaron got up and walked over to the bag, stretched out his hands and picked up a pile of gold coins, and then the gold coins fell back into the bag and listened to the sound of the gold coins hitting each other, the sound was so wonderful, he said with a greedy look: "My lord, I did this job!"
