Chapter 263: Political Marriage?
Qin Dong knew that it was completely lucky to be able to sit on the king of the Eastern Court and the general of Zhengdong, and it happened that during this period he was promoted to the rank of commander of ten thousand people, and he was on an equal footing with Modo in the Balkans, plus Da Dan Yu Erak confronted the army of the Western Roman Empire in the middle and upper reaches of the Danube, and there were Deng Zhixik and Enek in the rear to lead a large army to attack his lair, Da Dan Yu Erak in order to save this crisis, had to agree to the Minister of Finance Skota's proposal, and replaced the position of the left and right virtuous kings and the left and right valley kings with the kings of the east, west, south and north courts. In the eastern and southeastern regions, the only generals who could control the zhì were Mo Duo and Qin Dong.
Qin Dong actually knew that whether it was him or Mo Duo, they were not qualified to be the king of the Eastern Courtyard in terms of qualifications, and it would not work to transfer generals from other places to the Balkan Peninsula, first, it was too late to send generals, and secondly, they were not familiar with the situation in the first year and a half, and what Ellak needed was to stabilize the situation in the east and southeast in the shortest possible time.
Among the two people, Qin Dong and Modo, Erak actually trusts them very much, but considering that he wants to go deep into Enek's hinterland, Erak thinks that Modo is much more suitable, after all, Modo has been here for a long time, and he is very familiar with the east and southeast, so he transferred Modo to the north to carry out the task of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", leaving Qin Dong to guard the southeast, but the southeast is too big, and Qin Dong's official position can't be suppressed at all, the only way is to promote his official, Qin Dong is not lacking in ability, what he lacks is qualifications and official positions, A large enough official position is justified in doing things, and in addition, the position of the Governor of the Left Metropolitan and King Edika of Skir, who is in charge of Balkan affairs, is not clear, and Erak is not worried about this person. Therefore, the only choice is Qin Dong, and Qin Dong just took the shit luck to become the king of the Eastern Courtyard and the general of Zhengdong.
Just after Elak used the construction of Sambus and Itur and others to set up an ambush on the way to retreat to the royal court, defeating Heraclius, the military commander of the Western Roman Empire, and killing tens of thousands and capturing more than 60,000 people. Erak left a part of the army to escort the prisoners, and he led most of the main force to quickly rush to the Carpathian Pass north of the royal court, and when the army arrived, the defense of the mountain pass was already in danger, but fortunately, the main force of Erak arrived in time and held the pass.
Most of Deng Zhixik's army was cavalry, lacking infantry and equipment to attack the city. As a result, the siege force was insufficient, and after the arrival of Erac's main force, the pass's defenses were more than tenfold stronger. Deng Zhixik found that the main force of Erak had returned, but he was not willing to withdraw to the northern shore of the Black Sea, so he led his troops to be stationed north of the mountain pass, attacking every three or five times. Lack of food and clothing, so they sent people to the north to have people transport them. In this way, the two sides confronted each other at the Carpathian Pass.
And Enek, who originally attacked from the east, had a smooth journey at the beginning, and when attacking Erak's territory, it was smooth for all parts of the country to see Enek coming, including those affiliated peoples, but soon Enek received news from the lair that Modo led the army from the south to cross the lower reaches of the Danube River and kill his lair, how could Enek tolerate Modo wreaking havoc in his lair? Immediately ignored the alliance with Deng Zhixike. gave up continuing to march west, but led the troops to quickly rush back to the lair to rescue.
After Modo learned that Enek had led his troops back to the rescue. Immediately withdrew with his men and horses, and began to circle with him in Enek's territory, and so on for more than a month, Modo led his troops to Brasso, and stationed in Brasso, which was a very important passage west into the Transylvanian plateau.
Within Enek's territory, the Carpathian Mountains are entrenched in the middle of the semi-ring, with the Transylvanian Plateau to the west, the Moldovan hills to the east, the Wallachian plain to the south, and the Dobroga hills to the southeast. Staggered. The aborigines here are Dacians, later conquered by the Roman Empire, Dacians and Romans lived and merged to form the Romanian nation, but at this time, there were not only Romanians here, but also the Goths, Huns, Slavs, and Alans who migrated from the north, and the ethnic complex, but the barbarian population in the area east of the Carpathians was relatively small, and most of the barbarians who migrated because of the arrival of the Huns were concentrated in the area west of the Carpathians. The Slavs and many other small peoples were submissive to the Huns, so his rule was now relatively stable in Enek's territory, at least not as fearful as the Ostrogoths and Gepids.
Because Modo led his troops to guard the road to the west, Enek led his army to attack for more than half a month but failed to take Modo, so he could only sigh and had to temporarily abandon the plan to attack Erak in the west, while Deng Zhiczyk in the north had been stationing his army north of the mountain pass in the northern Carpathian Mountains to confront Erak's army in the mountain pass.
Although the situation was tense, the two sides were still facing each other, but the war seemed to have stopped, Qin Dong took over the territory left by Modo and spent several months stabilizing the situation, but he became worried again, in his territory, it was now not only his army, but also Edika's army and hundreds of thousands of Skirs.
Qin Dong knew very well that it was impossible to take over his army and rule his people by killing Edika's plot, and it would be easy if he was also a Skir, but he was not a Skir, nor a Huns, but a Han.
If Qin Dong kills Edika, the Skir army will definitely seek revenge on him, and will definitely not surrender, and hundreds of thousands of Skir people will not surrender, even if these Skir people are forced to surrender at this stage due to Qin Dong's strong military threat, but as long as there is an opportunity, these people will definitely rebel, there is no doubt about it, so I have always wanted to think of a very appropriate way not only to obtain the military power of the 60,000 Skil army, but also to make this army and hundreds of thousands of Skir people really surrender.
Qin Dong couldn't think of a way by himself, so he had to find Peteus, Zhong Hui, Liu Yang, Cao Charlie and other strategists to discuss, after all, the situation in the north is likely to be decided in the next two or three months, so he must solve the problem of internal hidden dangers between the situation in the north and the situation is clear.
"There is only one thing that I have summoned you here today, and that is what to do with Adika and his 60,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of Skil? Do you have any good ideas? But let me make it clear beforehand that I don't want bloodshed, so you can only come up with a peaceful solution, not a sword! ”
Pethius nodded and said: "What the king said is extremely true, we can't use force against Edika, and we can't assassinate him, the king is not a Skir after all, if he kills Edika openly, his army and people will definitely not surrender, this can only deepen hatred, and assassination is not advisable, if assassination is used, even if Edika is killed, as long as you are not a fool, you will guess that the king sent someone to do it, not only can we not send someone to assassinate, but we must also do our best to protect Edika's safety, Prevent some people from using assassination methods and then blame us! The subordinates are ignorant, and they haven't thought of a good way for the time being."
Liu Yang said, "Can you send a man of eloquence to Edika's mansion to persuade him to submit to the king?" ”
Before the others could speak, Qin Dong shook his head and said: "Impossible, Edika has already sworn allegiance to Attila Dadanyu, it is impossible for a person like him to surrender to the second person in his life, let him surrender to others, I'm afraid it will be more uncomfortable than killing him, so this method will not work!" ”
One of the staff members stood up and saluted Qin Dong and said, "The King, if this is the case, it stands to reason that Edika will not throw himself on Eneko's side, even if he does not participate in the civil war, he should not be in danger to us, I wonder why the King is so worried about his position?" ”
Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "The centrist on the political side has never had a good end, either an ally or an enemy, and now that he doesn't stand in line, he may act against us at any time, so we have to guard against him, instead of guarding him everywhere, it is better to strike first!" But just now the king said that this matter cannot be solved through bloodshed, and this matter is a little difficult to do! ”
Qin Dong nodded, looked at the others, and saw that Charlie Cao's face was hesitant, and he looked like he wanted to say something but had some scruples, so he said, "Old Cao, do you have any way?" If you have it, just say it, don't hide your mother-in-law, if you don't say it well, the king won't blame you! ”
"This ......" Charlie Cao looked at Qin Dong, twisted the sparse beard on his chin, paused and said: "Poor Dao thought of a good way, but he was worried about whether the king could accept it, so he didn't dare to say it!" ”
"If you say it, you say it! What so much nonsense, say! Qin Dong waved his hand, as long as it was a useful way at this time, he had to solve the problem of internal hidden dangers before the end of the year.
Charlie Cao nodded: "Actually, this method is very simple, there are only two words, that is, 'marriage'!" ”
"Marriage? What do you mean? Zhong Hui asked, this is not to blame him, he has been working in Dimeter City, he doesn't know much about the situation on Sedika's side, and he doesn't know much about Edika as a person, so he asked like this, but everyone else understood what Charlie Cao meant.
Charlie Cao explained: "Edika's son Odoasse died, and now he only has one daughter named Sula, it is said that Sula is only nineteen years old, and has not been married, it was Edika who was born at the age of thirty-seven, very precious her, saying that he wanted to find a good husband for her to marry, I want to marry Princess Sula on the condition of the king, and it is not high at all to marry Princess Sula, you think about it, as long as the king marries Princess Sula, then the king is the legitimate heir to the throne of Skir, even if Edika does not want to give up power at this stage, he will at least not deal with his son-in-law, right?" Then the king has no worries, just wait for the situation to change abruptly, and he can take advantage of the situation to make some achievements! ”
Qin Dong's first reaction after listening to Charlie Cao's Jian yì This is a bad idea, it is definitely a bad idea, he is from the next generation, let him engage in politics and marriage from the heart will be very resistant, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, let alone marriage?
