Since Qin Dong led his army to invade the south in two ways, he won Razlog and hundreds of miles south of him in one fell swoop, not only killed the two Germanic leaders of Hall and Mondi, but also drove away Odoaser and occupied the land that originally belonged to them, and defeated the 14th Legion sent by the Western Roman Empire to reinforce it, and finally captured most of the 14th Legion, which made Qin Dong not only famous in the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire, but also became a famous figure within the Xiongnu. This made his prestige flourish in the southeastern frontier region.

After three months, in February 454 AD, the situation changed dramatically, and although Qin Dong had expected its arrival, it still made Qin Dong almost unable to cope with it, so he struck first.

During these three months, the news from the Xiongnu court became worse and worse, and the relationship between Dadan Yu Erak and his brothers Enek, Deng Zhixik, and Ernak became worse and worse, and in February 454 AD, Da Dan Yu Erak finally couldn't bear it anymore, and completely broke with several of his brothers, and even made a big move, after which Enek, Deng Zhixik and Elnak and others each led their armies to move away from the Shan Yu royal court, of which Elnak retreated to Germania with his direct army (the area east of the Rhine, In most of present-day Germany), Deng Zhiczyk retreated with his army to Scythia (present-day eastern Ukraine, southern Russia, and north of the Black Sea), while Enek retreated to a vast area east of the Xiongnu court and west of the Black Sea (including present-day Romania and western Ukraine).

The departure of Enek, Deng Zhixik, and Ernak announced the official split within the Xiongnu. The four brothers, including Da Dan Yu Erak, each occupied a piece of territory, and Da Dan Yu Erac occupied a vast area around and south of the Xiongnu royal court. It also includes southeastern, central, and western Europe, while Ernak occupies the northwest, including Germany, Dunzcík occupies the northeast, and Enek occupies the east.

The formal split of the Xiongnu Empire made the Eastern and Western Roman empires secretly breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, according to the analysis of many people within the Western Roman Empire, the Xiongnu Empire was unable to invade the south for at least 20 years. Erak and his brothers will never stop if they don't fight to the death.

When the news reached Pazar, Qin Dong suddenly felt the pressure on his body increase, why? Because the neighbor to the north is Enek. The former second prince and the right virtuous king also wanted to send someone to intercept him, although at this stage, there was still a long way between Enek's territory and the area he controlled, but he still felt that his confrontation with Enek was not long. Before the battle of Enek. He must accumulate enough strength, you must know that the direct force that Enek can control is 30,000 Hun iron cavalry, these are pure Hun cavalry, there is not a single infantry, with his current military strength is not enough for Enek.

The danger was coming, and Qin Dong had already sensed it, so he decided to clear the hidden dangers inside him, and he was disobedient to Tinis and Sankundo. And the centurion who had his own territory was cleared, and he had been waiting for these two men to come and hand over his territory in person. And hand over their direct army, but they don't seem to be so conscious, after such a long time, they don't have the slightest intention of handing over the territory and army, Qin Dong is impatient, he must clear the two of them, so that there are no hidden dangers inside in order to fully deal with the changes in the external situation.

However, when he was about to mobilize troops to deal with Tinis and Sankundo, these two suddenly came together to swear allegiance to him, and were willing to hand over their territory and control the direct army, which made Qin Dong very strange, after understanding, it turned out that Tinis and Sankundo also knew the news of the split from the royal court, and now they are also facing a choice, whether to continue to keep the territory and army to maintain relative independence, or to take refuge in a backer to hand over their territory and army, after careful consideration, They still choose to be loyal to Qin Dong, after all, their current territory is within Qin Dong's jurisdiction, if they continue to maintain relative independence, or choose other commanders and commanders as backers, they will first have to face Qin Dong's ferocious blows, they think that they can't withstand Qin Dong's attacks, so they have to control the direct army and territory of Zhan Dong.

Qin Dong gladly accepted the surrender of Tinis and Sankundo, whether they were sincere or false, in this case, at least he had to show a broad mind to accept them, he accepted their territory, but did not deprive them of their military rights, he sent someone to count the troops in their hands, and learned that each of them had an army of about five hundred people, most of these troops were elite cavalry, and a few were old and weak. Qin Dong transferred them from the original army, transferred them to the south under the command of Mu Ren, and appointed them as 500 generals, that is, tun generals, and transferred ten hundred-man teams from all over the country, divided into two parts, each part was 500 troops, and handed them over to their command, and their original army was reorganized and retrained, and after the reorganization, they were trained for another three months and scattered among other armies to prevent those people from engaging in tandem.

It took a month like this, Qin Dong finished dealing with the affairs of Tinis and Sangkundo, the two of them had been transferred to the command of Nanfang Muren as generals, and their army had also been reorganized, and after removing the old and weak, they were re-put into training, and they were on the right track, and then Qin Dong breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to rest for a few days, but Liu San brought a piece of news that made him immediately lose the mood to rest.

"Young Master, according to the news from Saidika, a group of men and horses from the royal court arrived at Saidika this afternoon, this team has a total of 3,000 horses, all of them are elite cavalry, and the leader is called Lored!"

"Lored? How could it be him? Qin Dong was taken aback when he heard this.

Liu San said: "Yes, the young master knows his identity?" ”

Qin Dong knew the identity of Lored too much, Lored was the captain of the guard of the former Hun Da Dan Yu Attila, according to Lo Ruide himself, after Attila's death, he volunteered to be martyred for Attila, but the new Da Dan Yu Erak did not agree to his burial, according to Erak's words, now is the time to employ people, and talents like him should be reused, so not only did he not let him be martyred for Attila, but also appointed him as one of the captains of the army directly under the royal court, commanding a team of ten thousand cavalry, Seeing that the new Dadan Yu Erac trusts him so much, Lored swears allegiance to Erak.

Now what is the intention of Lored to bring 3,000 elite horsemen to Saidica? Since there was no more intelligence support, Qin Dong didn't know the reason for this, he thought for a while and asked: "Lored is the former captain of the guard of Dadan Yu Attila, and now he is a captain of the royal court defenders, I don't know what the purpose of his visit is this time, on the side of Saidika, did Modo have any unusual actions before?" ”

Liu San shook his head and said: "No, according to the detailed report hidden by Mo Duo's side, although there has been bad news during this time, Mo Duo has not been in contact with people from other forces!" ”

"Then continue to investigate, I want to know the purpose of Lored's trip, in addition, our intelligence personnel in the royal court are too weak, we must strengthen the intelligence personnel in the royal court, without timely intelligence support, we will be passive everywhere, this matter, you must step up!" For the royal court, Qin Dong felt that his eyes were black, although he had known the political pattern of the royal court before, but it was very difficult to know the actions of those bigwigs in time, in order to grasp the first-hand information at the first time, Qin Dong had to urge Liu San to do his best to strengthen the investment of the intelligence force of the royal court.

Liu San hurriedly said: "Yes, young master, in fact, we have set up an intelligence station on the royal court side last month, but they have just settled over there, and the intelligence collection work is not on the right track, I believe that in another month, they will be able to play a role, and the young master said that I will personally monitor the purpose of Lorid's trip, and I will report to you as soon as there is news."

A day later, Liu San came to see Qin Dong again, this time he really brought the purpose of Lored's trip, it turned out that Lorid had two purposes at this time, the first was to visit Modo on behalf of Da Dan Yu Erak, the purpose was self-evident, naturally it was to probe Modo's reaction, to see how Modo reacted to this matter after the Elak brothers turned against him, to see if he had the intention of voting for others, intended to test and monitor, but at the same time it also had the meaning of appeasement and wooing.

Another purpose of Lored's trip was to announce the appointment of Qin Dong to the rank of Captain of Ten Thousand Horses on behalf of Da Dan Yu Erak, to break away from Modo's command and set up a team of Ten Thousand Cavalry on his own.

In terms of relationship, Qin Dong is a big single Yu Erak's guard, which is equivalent to Erak's cronies, Erak still trusts Qin Dong, and Qin Dong has long had the label of Erak printed on his forehead, even if he wants to vote for other princes, those princes may not dare to accept him.

There is a world of difference between the commander and the commander, the commander has a lot of autonomy, especially in the commander stationed abroad, he can open a house and build a tooth, what is a house and a tooth? That is, to establish the government office on its own and appoint officials to handle military and political affairs, on another level, this is the rhythm of becoming a warlord.

When Qin Dong heard Liu San talk about the news, he was a little happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure this news is true?" ”

"Young master, this matter is true, it was a woman who eavesdropped on it when she was delivering drinks to Lored, it can't be wrong!" Of course, Liu San didn't dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and he also verified this information before reporting. (To be continued......)
