Three days after returning from Saidika, Qin Dong received news that Modo had a battle with Ino and Meize in the area north of the Balkan Mountains, Modo defeated Eno and Meze with a large number of people, and the two retreated all the way with the remnants of the defeated army, it is said that they crossed the cold lower Danube River into Enek's territory and took refuge in Enek, Enek could not ask for it, and was very happy to accept them, but his move angered his brother Ernak, Ino and Meize were Ernak's men, and now they have joined Enek, how could Hernack be able to swallow this bad breath? The relationship between the brothers deteriorated dramatically, and the original alliance against Dadan and Erak quickly dissolved, while in Scythia, although Deng Zhicik tried to figure out Guò and his intermediate link to maintain the alliance between the three, it was still difficult to resolve the conflict between Ernak and Ernak, and the alliance also existed in name only.

However, because Qin Dong killed Marcus and captured Moldo, plus Modo defeated Eno and Meize and got their territory, so that Modo's territory and Enek's territory were only separated by a Danube, which made the situation on both sides of the lower Danube River tense, but both sides did not have the idea of a big fight, although Modo and Qin Dong were Dadan Yu's people, but after all, they were foreign ministers, not direct generals, since the beginning of the infighting, whether it was Da Dan Yu, Or the subordinate generals of several of his brothers have chosen not to help each other, since their brothers want to compete for the position of Da Danyu, let their own direct forces compete, and other local generals do not participate, which is also the idea of almost all Hun generals outside. However, the situation varies from place to place, such as the Balkans. Qin Dong and Modo naturally did not allow different voices, they would not take the initiative to attack the direct armies of those princes, but it did not mean that they could not attack the territories of such as Marcus and Mordo, which bordered their territory or the territory of a country within a country.

So even after Modo defeated Eno and Meizer and grabbed their turf. And Enek, on the other side of the lower Danube, did not send troops across the Danube to attack Modo.

After Modo took over the territory of Ino and Misawa, he appointed two commanders to guard it, and he soon returned to Saidika with the main army, and now the situation in Saidika is not peaceful, and the danger hidden in it does not belong to a big war.

On this day, Qin Dong had just led the escort out of the Captain Wanfu's mansion, and Liu San rode a fast horse to catch up from behind, "Young master, young master." Wait, there's important news! ”

Qin Dong stopped waiting, and after a while, Liu San chased after him and panted and reported: "Young master." There was a heavy news coming, and I saw that this news was too important, so I immediately chased after it. According to the news from Hosaku that we have been sending to Odoas, Odoaser has gone to Constantinople since he fled. But a dozen days earlier, he had led dozens of his mercenaries disguised as caravans from Constantinople to the west. After passing through Dimet, and then through Pazar, he appeared in Saidika yesterday, and what was even more shocking was that he actually went to see Edika, and what was even more incredible was that Odoaser turned out to be Edika's son! ”

"What? What did you say? Is Odoase Edika's son? Qin Dong was so startled that he almost jumped off his horse.

"Yes, yes, the news was true, when they knew each other. Our fine work is right next door! ”

This news is indeed too shocking, Qin Dong has actually known all along that Odoase is the son of a general under Attila. This is vaguely recorded in the history books of the Byzantine Empire, but he did not know that Odoases' father was Edika!

Later historians believe that two of Attila's generals had a profound impact on Western history, that is, the state secretary Oristes and the left lieutenant Edika, the son of the Chinese secretary Olistes, became the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, and the son of the left captain Edika, Odoas, was the one who ousted Romulo from the emperor's throne, and history is so full of drama.

Qin Dong was a little incredulous, he said, "How can this be? Wasn't Odoaser the leader of an Ostrogoths? And Adika is indeed the leader of the Skir people, how can the two of them be father and son? ”

Liu Sandao: "Young master, this matter should be true, according to our investigation, Odoaser did not have a father when he was a child, the leader of their Ostrogoths at that time was his grandfather, after his grandfather died, the position of leader was inherited by his uncle Manlarik, who was ambushed and killed by us at Lake Bataka last year, because Manlaric had no heirs, Odoase, who fled back, as Manlarik's nephew, inherited the position of leader as a matter of course, according to analysis, Odoaser should be the merry seed left by Edica outside."

"Damn, why is it such a mess!" Qin Dong couldn't help but complain, and then said: "It seems that things have changed, if Odoase is not Edika's son, then we don't have to do anything now, but Odoase suddenly became Edika's son, and the situation became complicated, I sent troops to rob Odoase's territory, turned his people into our people, and he himself almost became a bare pole, do you think he will hate me to death?" ”

Liu San nodded and said, "Sure, young master, Odoasai must hate you to death!" ”

"That's it, Odoase hates me, and Edika, as Odoase's father, do you think he will be influenced by Odoase? Well, even if Edika won't be affected, but what about after he dies? He is not young, and once he dies and his leadership is succeeded by Odoas, who will have 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry and hundreds of thousands of people, which is a decisive force in the Balkans! ”

Qin Dong's expression began to become solemn, this matter must not be taken lightly, for Qin Dong, he felt that this matter must be regarded as the top priority at the moment.

"That's right!" Liu San said: "Young master, we must find a way to get rid of Odoase, now that their father and son have recognized each other, I believe that Edika has introduced Odoase to his subordinates, even if we kill Edika now, Odoaser will inherit his army and power, so getting rid of Odoaser is a good cure for the root cause, but in this process, we can't let Edica suspect us!" ”

Qin Dong looked at Liu San, he found that this old guy has improved a lot recently, and it is really rare to be able to see this step, he affirmed Liu San's opinion, "Yes, let me think about this again!" ”

Liu San said again: "The current Cedika can be described as a place where the storm and clouds converge, not only there is Da Shan Yu's envoy Lored, and now there is another Odoase, and there is also a news, this morning a caravan from the north entered Saidika, the leader of the caravan saw Edika, according to our speculation, the caravan is likely to be sent by Enek, nominally a caravan, but in fact a mission, in order to lobby, or to bribe and win over Adika!" ”

"Oh? In this way, Saidica has really become a place where the storm gathers! Modo's life would not have been easy, or he wouldn't have hurried back from the north! Qin Dong touched his chin, his heart moved, he immediately thought of something, and immediately ordered: "Try to find a way to find out the conversation between Edika and the people from the north, and if there is any news, tell me as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Liu San agreed, and when he saw Qin Dong riding his horse and left, he hurriedly followed: "Young master, there is one more thing, the old slave doesn't know what to say, that is, you asked me to send someone to secretly follow the master's mother a few days ago, and the person sent to follow me found that the master's mother has been the same as usual recently, but recently she has often gone to the church to pray!" ”

"Church?" Qin Dong's expression moved, "Isn't it the church of Hoptilius?" ”

Hoptilius was a priest sent by Constantinople, Qin Dong had an agreement with Patriarch Anatorius of Constantinople, he helped Qin Dong escape, and also helped Qin Dong raise 10,000 sets of heavy cavalry equipment, Qin Dong promised to let him send someone to preach, and Hoptilius was led by the priests who were sent.

"Yes!" Liu San replied, Liu San really can't say anything about Martha, after all, Martha is his housemother, and saying things that shouldn't be said is suspected of provoking the feelings of husband and wife between Qin Dong and Martha.

Qin Dong frowned, "I only know that she often goes to church, so didn't you investigate further?" ”

In fact, Qin Dong also suspected that there were probably spies from the Eastern Roman Empire among the priests sent by the Patriarchate of Constantinople who followed him back, but nothing unusual had happened in the past half a year, so Qin Dong gave up monitoring those priests.

In fact, during this period, many clergy took advantage of the opportunity to preach to collect local intelligence, on the one hand, some of them were church clergy on the surface, and their secret identities may be spies, pimps or smugglers, and more likely political brokers. How much money can be collected from believers during this period? Unless there are many local tyrants among the believers, and the local tyrants give more rewards, the priests can live a nourishing life, if the believers are all poor people haha, the priests' lives will also be very hard, so many priests can't live this kind of hard life, they use the network resources among the believers, secretly do all kinds of money-making things.
