Early the next morning, Qin Dong instructed the chief of the guard, Batu, to prepare, he was going to Saidika, after breakfast, Batu came to report that the guards and war horses had already been prepared, Qin Dong put on the armor, cloak, and helmet under the service of Martha, and then led the guards out of the West City Gate to set off towards Saidika.

The cloak on Qin Dong's body is white, it is made of a few mink skins, and the workmanship is very exquisite, it is not obvious to use it as a target in the wild on this snowy day, and if someone ambushes and blocks it, the chance of being recognized will be reduced.

Cloaks and cloaks have the same, they are usually sleeveless, but there are also differences, cloaks are generally very thick, mostly made of animal fur zuò, shaped like a bucket, so it is called a cloak, generally draped on the body as a coat, the main role is to protect against the wind and cold, wear in winter, there are long and short, the short one is the curtain, the elder is the cloak.

The fabric of the cloak is generally not very thick, and the cloak has different effects for different people, for example, ordinary people can wear cloaks indoors and outdoors, and cloaks are only worn outdoors, and for ancient generals, the role of cloaks is not just as simple as windproof sand.

In many film and television works, you can often see ancient generals wearing armor and wearing a cloak on the armor, some are red, some are black, and some are white, when the wind blows, the cloak is blown with the wind, it looks very windy, and it is also very handsome.

In addition to being able to prevent wind and sand, the cloak of the ancient general also has several functions, first, it can effectively protect against cold. Second, increase defense on a certain distance, if the enemy is slashing with a sword during battle. The cloak can effectively block the enemy's weapons and slash, the sword may be able to pierce the cloak at one time, but it may not be able to cut the cloak to cause damage to the opponent, some generals' cloaks are made of very good silk products, and the enemy may not be able to pierce the cloak with a sword stab, third, the cloak is colored. It is generally red, black, and white, and these colors have a striking effect, and the general wears a cloak to lead the army to fight and kill. The soldiers behind him can see his figure, so the cloak can play a guiding role. Fourth, when injured, one piece can be torn off as a bandage to wrap the wound.

Cloaks are worn differently depending on the season. In cold weather. Or when the wind and sand are particularly strong, the generals use a cloak to wrap the whole body, and when the weather is cool, the cloak is hung on the shoulders on the back of the armor, so that it will not be very hot. (Now you know why the generals hung their cloaks, right?) ）

When he arrived at Saidika, it was already close to noon, Qin Dong asked Batu to stay outside Saidika City with his guards, and he took a few guards dressed as horse gang merchants into the city.

Not long after entering the city, Qin Dong, dressed as a caravan merchant, walked to the door of a hotel with a few guards who looked like men. Unlike other inns, there are four Hun warriors standing guard at the door. This is Lored's stay in the city, don't look at this is just a hotel, in fact, there are hundreds of guards in the hotel here, and the entire hotel has been chartered by Modo for Lored to stay, and there is only one guest in Lored.

"What the hell, go away, there's no room here, go elsewhere!" A Xiongnu warrior saw Qin Dong's horse gang merchants coming over with horses dragging goods, and immediately drove them away.

Qin Dong handed the reins of the horse to the guards behind him, stepped forward and said, "Go and report to Lord Lored, just say that Qin Dong has come to ask for a meeting!" ”

"Qin Dong? Oh, yes, yes, please wait, adult, the villain will report immediately! When the Hun warrior saw Qin Dong take out the identity of the captain, he immediately ran into the courtyard of the inn to report to Lowry.

It didn't take long for the warrior to run out again and respectfully Qin Dong entered, Qin Dong ordered the guards behind him to wait outside, and he himself followed the doorkeeper into the courtyard of the inn.

When Lored saw Qin Dong dressed as a caravan businessman, he immediately laughed, pointing at Qin Dong with his finger and smiling all the time, Qin Dong looked helpless and could only find a stool to sit on by himself.

After sitting down, Qin Dong said, "Okay, my lord?" Do you think I'm going to dress like this to meet you? Isn't there no way? ”

Lored heard some of Qin Dong's words, immediately stopped laughing, walked to his stool and sat down and asked, "Lord Qin, ...... are you?" ”

Qin Dong glanced at the two commanders in the room and didn't speak, where did Lored not understand what Qin Dong meant? Wave your hand to let the two commanders out.

Qin Dong then said, "Don't you know what happened to this Saidika? ”

Lored didn't know why, but seeing Qin Dong's cautious and mysterious look, he said curiously: "Don't go around in circles, what's going on?" ”

This is what he wants, and Qin Dong immediately told the matter of sending envoys from the north to Enek to lobby, bribe, and win over Edika.

Lored was shocked when he heard this, he was originally a guest in Saidika, and his intelligence ability was limited, of course he wouldn't know that there was a lobbyist sent by Enek at Edika's house, he stood up in shock and said, "What you said is true?" Did Edika agree to take refuge in the North? ”

"Of course it's true, how can this be fake? My lords are not familiar with the situation here, I have been here for more than a year, and I still have some ability to inquire about the news, but according to the information I have received, they should still be in the negotiation stage, and it is said that they have reached an impasse in the negotiations because of the treatment after taking refuge, and neither side will give in."

Qin Dong's words directly made Lored's heart cold, although Qin Dong said that Edika and the envoy sent from the north had reached an impasse in the negotiations because of the treatment issue, but Lorid is not a fool after all, there is always a time when the deadlock is broken, as long as one party gives a little way, the deadlock will be broken, and the negotiations will continue, as long as they can talk, there will be a time when they can talk, when Edika took refuge in the north, he had a total of 60,000 troops under his command, and he could simply claim the king and hegemony in the southeast, Qin Dong and Modo were at odds again, Will they be able to stop Edika?

I'm afraid this thing is very hanging! Lored immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, beads of sweat quickly oozed from his forehead, thinking that Da Shan Yu sent me over to stabilize the situation in the southeast, but he didn't expect that just after clearing the inside, something happened to the royal court, which made Edika return to Saidica, which made the situation that had just improved even worse, if you don't deal with the matter here, how can you go back and meet Da Shan Yu?

In fact, Qin Dong's words were completely nonsense, he didn't know what the envoy from the north and Saidika talked about, what Cheng Dù talked about, and what Edika's attitude towards the north was, he didn't know anything about it, the reason why he said this was to make Lorid anxious.

Qin Dong saw that Lorid was distracted, and added: "My lord, the situation is already very critical, we must not let Edica defect to the north, otherwise, it will be difficult for our side to resist Edika's army, and the entire southeast situation will be eroded!" ”

These words made Lored's heart tremble, and he said three words in a row: "Yes, yes, yes!" Can't let them negotiate successfully, find a way to sabotage their negotiations, Lord Qin, you are familiar with this place, what can you do? ”

Qin Dong thought for a while and said: "My lord, if you want to sabotage their negotiations, there is a way, that is, let them turn against each other, I don't know if your lord has heard about it, Adika actually has a son, his son used to be the leader of an Ostrogothic tribe in the south of my territory who are unwilling to submit to our Hun Empire, this person is called Odoasey, he is Edika's illegitimate son outside, this person has been active in the south of my territory for a long time with his clan, blocking trade routes, and often plundering my territory, So I fought against his tribe with great courage, and in the last battle, I took possession of his tribe's land, and he fled with dozens of retinues, and for a long time he did not know where to go, but he did not expect that he would come to Saidika in secret.

If you think about it, my lord, Edika only has one son, Odoase, and the father and son have just reunited, Edika must have been very fond of Odoase, and Odoaser must have had an enmity with me, and he must have made an agreement between his father Edika and the messenger from the north because of his resentment towards me, and sooner or later Edika will pass the throne of Skill to Odoase, will he ignore his son's words? If Odoaser is in the middle, a breakthrough in the negotiations between the two sides is predictable, and then we will be in great trouble, and the only way now is to kill Odoaser and blame the emissary from the north, so that we can not only get rid of Odoase, but also make Edika and the north hostile."

Lored nodded again and again when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, at this time, it seemed that the only way to do it was to follow Qin Dong's method, that is, to send someone to assassinate Odoase, and then blame the mission from the north for the murder, I have to say that this is indeed a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Lord Qin's method is good, very good, then this matter will be handed over to you, how about it?"

Qin Dong immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, my lord, I can't do this, you think about it, since Marcus's incident, Captain Modovan has been dissatisfied with me, and this time I came to Saidika secretly, I didn't greet him at all, if he knows that I sneaked in here, I'm afraid he won't be polite to me, and then my relationship with him will deteriorate even more, which is very detrimental to our internal unity, I think this matter is most suitable for adults to do, My lord, you brought 3,000 iron horsemen this time, can't you find a few people who dare to die? In addition, this matter must also be cooperated with Modo, after all, this is Modo's territory, no matter what happens, it is almost impossible to hide from his ears and eyes, I think the adult can discuss with him, the adult will send someone to carry out the assassination mission, and Modo will be responsible for spying on the news, answering and closing, so that the probability of success of this operation will be greatly increased! ”

"Makes sense!" Lored couldn't help but nodded, "Well, I'll think about this matter again!" (To be continued......)
