Only two days later, the cavalry army, which was rapidly moving southward, stopped at Calafate in the middle and lower Danube, and crossed the Danube to the small town of Vidin in a small boat with white flags.

Qin Dong, who had already judged the final foothold of this army, had already arranged for people to wait in the small town of Weiding, and sure enough, these three people were sent by Mo Duo, and when they explained their identities and intentions, as Qin Dong speculated, the leader of the cavalry army was Mo Duo, and he brought the team to join Qin Dong.

Modo's army originally had a total of more than 14,000 cavalry, but after maneuvering with Enek, only about 10,000 cavalry remained, and this time it moved south at a very fast speed and reduced more than 1,000 cavalry without fighting, leaving only 9,000 cavalry.

Qin Dong, who was in Saidika, received the news from the front, and summoned some important officials to discuss, he took the silk cloth with the specific situation written on it and said: "Everyone, what this king had speculated before is indeed right, the leader of that army is Modo, and he has indeed come to take refuge in this king by leading his troops south this time, and now he is stationed with his nine thousand cavalry on the opposite side of the Danube River in the town of Vidin, and he also sent a messenger to meet the person sent by this king, he said that he wants to serve this king, but he has a few requirements, I hope that this king will personally go to the discussion, what do you think? Shouldn't this king go there? ”

The civil and military officials who were clearly divided sat on both sides, and after Qin Dong's words were finished, Peteus on the side of the civil officials said: "King, Modo's official position is the right big household. This official position is not low, if the king wants to continue to stand in the world as the king of the Eastern Court, he must personally go to discuss the specific conditions of the service with Modo, so as to show that the king really loves talents. It can also show the world the king's heart of recruitment! ”

Ruth on the military attaché's side said with an extremely unhappy look: "Hypocrisy, I think that Modo has no intention of serving at all, otherwise, how could he put forward conditions, if he is sincere in his efforts, there are no conditions to mention, those of you who know a few words just like to play this set." It's boring! ”

Pethius was furious: "You-who do you say is hypocritical!" ”

"I said you were hypocritical, what's wrong! Isn't it hypocrisy? One set on the surface, one set behind the scenes. Isn't it hypocrisy? This kind of thing can only be done by you cunning people! Ruth said a few words with a very unhappy pout.

Peteus was so angry that the beard on his chin trembled: "You, you barbarian, I don't care about you like you!" After finishing speaking, he saluted Qin Dong and said, "King, Ruth is really rude. openly ridiculed his subordinates in front of his colleagues. The subordinates are all planning for the king, please preside over justice for the subordinates! ”

This matter is indeed a bit inexplicable, there is nothing to do, it is completely Ruth's straightforwardness, and it is also because Ruth's character is upright, and he can't see this kind of hypocritical thing before he says it quickly, but in politics, this kind of thing is like a commonplace, it is a very common thing.

Qin Dong as the leader. It is necessary to maintain one's own authority, and at the same time to be a peacemaker. To unite the officials and generals around him, and not let the conflict between Ruth and Peteaus continue, he coughed twice and said: "Ahem, Ruth, this time I want to criticize you, Lord Pethius is your colleague, you can't deny this, right?" As I have said a long time ago, the relationship between colleagues should be harmonious, everyone should be sincerely united, and only by uniting everyone can everyone's strength be concentrated together, so that it is not easy to be defeated by others, and only then can the enemy be defeated. Everyone has their own standards and rules of conduct, this is no way to do things, you can not get used to it, but we should treat colleagues and compatriots as warm as spring, and treat the enemy like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, you can disagree with his way of acting, but you can't help but defend him, after all, his original intention is for the interests of our whole, after all, you are colleagues in a camp, everyone's guns should be unanimous to the outside world, not to attack each other, Ruth, can you understand what I mean? ”

Ruth lowered his glowing head in shame when Qin Dong's words were said, "Yes, King, Ruth understands!" ”

Qin Dong saw that Ruth really understood, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I can rest assured if you can figure it out, it is undeniable that Lord Peteaus's opinion is very correct, if we want to develop and grow, we must have the courage and mind to be tolerant and tolerant, if we can't tolerate others, we will kill all those who are against us, then we will have a lot of enemies, is it better to have one more enemy, or one more friend and colleague?" Obviously, of course, it would be better to have one more friend and colleague! We are not invincible, our army is limited, our combat effectiveness is limited, we can only attract more people to join our camp, we are likely to develop stronger, everyone, my goal is not only to guard this acre and three points of land, I also want to go out and see more of the outside world, to see how big the land is under our feet, I hope you can work together to assist me in completing our common ideals, I also ask you to remember, Each and every one of you is a person who participated in the creation of zào and the change of history, and the name of each and every one of you will be recorded in the annals of history, until thousands of years from now, when people read this history, they read your story with excitement, and they will remember your name, what role you played in this history, what great things you have done that have caused a sensation in the world, and this is the legacy you have left to future generations".

Qin Dong's words made the hearts of all the civil officials and military generals present surge, and their blood boiled, and everyone got up and saluted Qin Dong and said: "Obey the king's teachings, and your subordinates must be sincerely united and swear allegiance to the king!" ”

The next morning, Qin Dong led the escort cavalry team to the town of Weiding at full speed, two days of sleepless day and night and finally arrived at the town of Weiding, two days later arrived at the town of Weiding in the middle of the night, including Qin Dong everyone was tired, after entering the town, under the arrangement of the officials who arrived here earlier, they lived in a big house, and the escort team was scattered around the big house, and this sleep was not until noon the next day.

Qin Dong woke up and found that it was noon, so he immediately asked people to prepare food, and then ordered someone to inform Modo to meet and discuss on the Danube at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then each took two guards and took a small boat, and fixed the two small boats in the middle of the river with boat poles during the negotiation, fortunately, it has begun to enter the winter, the water flow on the river is very gentle, and the two small boats can be fixed in the middle of the river.

Qin Dong hurriedly ate lunch and then continued to rest, and soon news came from across the river that Mo Duo agreed to meet in the middle of the river at Qin Dong's Tiyì, and then to discuss specific conditions.

slept until half past two in the afternoon, Qin Dong was woken up by Batu, seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately hurriedly washed his face and rushed to the river with Batu and another guard.

Half an hour later, the two boats met in the middle of the river, and they were close to each other, each side of the country set up a table and a chair on the side facing the other, Qin Dong and Mo Duo sat on the chairs of their respective tables, and there were two guards behind them.

Qin Dong first broke the silence: "Lord Moduo, I haven't seen you for a year, and your lord is still fine?" ”

Mo Duo smiled: "It's okay, I can't die for the time being, I think you are stronger than before, this south is indeed a good place, not only the climate is mild, but also the products are much richer than the north."

Qin Dong heard something else between Mo Duo's words, he understood Mo Duo's temper, and it was basically impossible for Mo Duo to say a few soft words to a person like him, but the current situation was that Mo Duo really said soft words to him and said compliments, which made Qin Dong unbelievable for a while, and soon Qin Dong understood, if Mo Duo was not forced to have to say a few soft words to him to show weakness, then it was Mo Duo acting, after observation, Qin Dong found that Mo Duo didn't mean anything reluctant when he said these words, and he said it naturally.

What does this mean? It shows that Mo Duo is indeed acting, if he really wants to serve him, he must have been a little embarrassed when he said these words just now, after all, it is a little awkward to serve a person who used to be his subordinate, but Mo Duo was not awkward just now, Qin Dong understood that Mo Duo did not really want to serve him, but had other plans!

Qin Dong also smiled: "The south is more comfortable, in fact, I prefer the north, the cold climate in the north can keep us in the highest fighting state at all times, and staying in the south for too long is easy to wear out the fighting spirit!" ”

Mo Duo didn't answer Qin Dong's words, but went directly to the topic: "King, you must already know the intention of my coming, should we start discussing the details directly?" ”

Qin Dong nodded: "Okay, please tell me your conditions, as long as I can accept it, I will never refuse, but if the conditions of the adults are too harsh, then please forgive me for not being able to agree!" ”

"Refreshing! I love this kind of discussion! Mo Duo praised it, and then directly stated his conditions: "First, after I surrender to the king, the king must ensure that the army continues to be commanded by me!" Second, the monthly salary must be paid to me on time, and the amount of salary, the replacement of armament and equipment, and the supply of grain and grass must be treated in the same way as the rest of the king's army.
