Chapter 4: Eavesdropping
At this time, Qin Dong had not gone far, but he heard his voice from the tent of Rak: "Quickly invite Oristes to come over, just say that I have something important to discuss with him!" ”
"Yes, eldest prince!" Sanchi, the guard outside the tent, agreed.
Hearing the name Olistes, Qin Dong stopped, and from the historical records, he learned that Orestes was Attila's state secretary, this guy was a Roman, and he should belong to Erac's faction, Oristes was the secretary of state sent to Attila by Aetius, the military commander of the Western Roman Empire, and Aetius had a good relationship with Aetius in the past, and Aetius even sent his son to study military affairs with Attila, but then the relationship between the two deteriorated sharply, so that they met each other. Attila suffered a crushing defeat to Aetius at the Battle of Chalon, but Attila was clearly not an ordinary man, and he continued to trust Oristes and did not kill or expel him.
In addition to Orestes, the state secretary, Attila also had two secretaries, one was the chief confidential secretary Onigseus, and the other was the chief secretary Constantius, Onigseus was a Greek, and he also had a younger brother named Scotta who was Attila's chancellor of the exchequer, both brothers were extremely loyal to Attila, only obeyed Attila's orders, belonged to the center among the royal cabinet officials, and did not support a certain prince. And this chief secretary Constantius was not the previous Western Roman emperor, the two were not the same person, but the same name, he supported the little prince Deng Zhixik, these three secretaries were not Huns, half of Attila's cabinet members were not Huns, either Romans or Greeks.
Qin Dong knew that Elak must have wanted to tell him the news that Attila might have died, and wanted to ask him what to do next, in the end, Elac still didn't trust Qin Dong, which Qin Dong knew very well, Qin Dong decided not to leave, he wanted to stay and see what ideas Oristes would give Ellac, so he waited for a while, and after seeing that Oristes was invited, he walked around a few tents and walked to the back of Elak's big tent close to the big tent to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Qin Dong sneaked to the back of the big tent very easily, and Erak was too careless to discuss such an important matter with his cronies and not send troops to guard the area around the big tent, which made Qin Dong feel that Erak was really a dou who couldn't be supported.
"....... Oristes, this is the case, what do you think we should do next?" This was Erak's voice, and he first repeated what Qin Dong had said, and then asked Oristes what he had built.
Qin Dong was sticking to the sheepskin tent of the big tent and heard an equally young voice say in a suffocated Xiongnu language: "Your Royal Highness, I don't know who that guard is, if what he said is true, we should indeed prepare, but we can't poison your brothers, you should know that once the coup fails because of the secrecy, then you will betray your relatives, you will never have a chance to inherit the throne, and it may be life-threatening, even if you succeed, you get the army and subordinates of your brothers, But your accusation of slaughtering all your brothers will make them submit to you on the surface, but in fact they are extremely dissatisfied inside, so that your position will still be unstable! ”
Two seconds later, Erak's voice came out: "So what should I do?" ”
"First, so that your army can be directly controlled is ready and ready at any time, but you can't act without orders, we do this to prevent your other brothers from doing things for the throne, you can rest assured that most of the ministers are supporting you, even if your brothers compete with you for the throne. Only if the ministers support you to inherit the throne will be considered orthodox, and the throne will be much more secure than the throne won by the coup d'état. Second, immediately kill the guard named Qin Dong, I feel that this person is a wolf with ambition, do you think this is a ploy that a slave soldier can come up with? Either someone else instructs him or he has a suspicious heart, such a person must not stay with you! ”
Qin Dong was shocked when he heard this passage outside the tent, he knew that he had messed up, he shouldn't have been so reckless as to tell Sù Eric that Attila had died, he didn't expect Elac to be so indecisive and tell Sù Oristes the news, and this Oristes is too vicious, but judging from the opinion given by Oristes, there must be something wrong with this Oristus, this person is not loyal to Erak, at least not secretly, if this person is loyal to Erac, He must have known that he had proposed to Erak that it was the best way to send troops to ambush around the royal court to kill the princes, what orthodoxy is not orthodox, the Huns inherited the throne and never said that it was orthodox, whoever sat on it was whoever, the strong were respected, Attila and his brother Breda only sat on the throne after killing all their brothers and uncles, and Attila did even more, and then killed his brother Breda, and ruled the world alone.
From the conversation just now, Qin Dong learned that this Oristes must be a pawn buried in the Huns, and Oristes is the state secretary sent to Attila by Aetius, the military commander of the Western Roman Empire, so it is most likely that Oristes is a spy of the Western Roman Empire, but it is not ruled out that Oristes was bought by other forces after coming to the Xiongnu court. According to historical records, shortly after Attila's death, Oristes returned to the Western Roman Empire, because he used to be Attila's secretary, so after the Western Roman Empire was divided, the Roman nobles elected Oristes as the military governor of Dalmatia in order to curry favor with the Huns, just to let the Huns see Oristes' face and not attack the fragmented Western Roman Empire, so it is impossible to judge who Oristes is serving in secret.
It seems that the situation inside the Xiongnu royal court is very complicated, the Xiongnu royal court must be full of spies from various countries, Qin Dong feels that the matter is very tricky, and he has to worry about his life now, Oristes has already built yì Erak to kill him.
However, taking Erak's words made Qin Dong breathe a sigh of relief, and he only heard Erak say: "There is no problem in preparing the army, it is to prevent my brothers and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, but there is no need to kill Qin Dong, right?" Maybe you think he has ulterior motives or evil intentions, but I don't think so, he is a Han Chinese, and he is my slave, and I think he is loyal to me and has come to report at the risk of his own safety."
Compared with the Europeans, the Huns obviously believed in the Han people more, and in the eyes of the Huns, the appearance of the Han people was not much different from theirs, they were all yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed, they were all Orientals, and as the saying goes, they were fellow countrymen, and it was not surprising that Erak would say so.
"But ......."
"Okay, that's it, I'll arrange the arrangement!" Oristes said more, but Erac didn't give him another chance.
Qin Dong felt that the world was really impermanent, just now he also expressed contempt for Erak's indecisiveness from the bottom of his heart, but now it was because of Erak's indecisiveness that saved his life, if it was a different person, Qin Dong knew that he would definitely have to run away.
At this moment, a long, rhythmic desolate horn sound came from the direction of Attila's palace. This is the horn of the Huns, and the death of Attila was discovered by the head of the guard, Kreed. From the memory of the original owner of this body, it was learned that the sound of this rhythm of the horn would only be blown out by the Xiongnu Shan Yu Futian, Qin Dong's face changed slightly, but his heart was steady, at least he didn't lie to Erak, Attila was really dead. According to Erac's personality and style, he should have said something for himself.
Before the trumpet fell, Qin Dong quickly ran towards his military camp, and now that Attila is dead, all the soldiers and officers, generals, and ministers will definitely gather around the palace, and the army must first assemble in his own camp and set off together if he wants to go to the palace.
