Gebuus listened to Qin Dong's words and was completely stunned, he was just a small businessman, and Pedro not only had a brother-in-law Holt who was the lord of the city, but he was also the captain of the sixth wing of the Nineteenth Legion, and he was a general with actual military power in his hands, even if he knew that the goods were stolen by Pedro, he had no way, how could he, a small businessman with no background, compete with a wing captain like Pedro? Gebuus now completely understood the treatment when he went to see the city lord Holt in the morning, and he couldn't help but scold at the moment: "Liars, they are all liars, Holt's bastard turned out to have known that the goods were robbed by Pedro, but he also promised to help track them down, they are all excuses, none of these so-called nobles are good things, bastards!" ”

Qin Dong and Peteus glanced at each other, and Peteus persuaded: "Master Gebuus, extinguish the fire, it's useless to be angry now, we're angry with ourselves in vain, we want to find a way to recover that batch of goods!" ”

"Chase back? How to chase it? Pedro is the captain of the sixth wing of the Nineteenth Legion, he has more than 600 people, although he is not an elite Roman heavy infantry, but his combat effectiveness is not weak, otherwise he would not have led the team to escort the tax silver! Even if we managed to catch up, would we still be able to snatch it back from him? Gebuus wept and mourned, apparently having little faith in recovering the goods.

Qin Dong thought for a moment and asked, "What is the establishment of the Sixth Wing of the Nineteenth Army Corps?" How many people are there in each class? Where is the station? ”

Gebuus knew this very well, and he said casually: "The Nineteenth Legion is not the main legion, although it is the same number as the main legion. But the equipment was too far behind, and the cavalry had a total of 66 people, all of whom were light cavalry. It's just a group of infantry who can ride horses, and the rest are all infantry, with shield soldiers in the majority, weapons with short swords, not even the throwing spears of the main legion, and they don't have the heavy armor of the main legion, all equipped with leather armor. There were no shin guards, and there were a small number of archers, and the bows of the archers were the worst. It's nice to shoot a hundred romi! His residence was under the eastern wall of the city, less than three hundred meters from the eastern gate."

After Gebuus's introduction, Qin Dong roughly understood the situation of the Nineteenth Legion, if the number of the Sixth Wing was the same as the number of a wing of the main Legion. Then Pedro should have 550 infantry under him. There were 66 cavalrymen, a total of 616 people, and after thinking about it, Qin Dong said: "Lord Gebuus, I have a way to catch up with Pedro's army and grab back the goods, it depends on whether you dare to do it!" ”

"What?" Qin Dong's words made Pedro very light, you must know that he is a citizen of the Eastern Roman Empire, and letting him openly snatch goods from the hands of the army is tantamount to openly opposing the Eastern Roman Empire, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Bull, this. This will not work, robbing the army is tantamount to rebellion, and if the empire tracks it down, our whole family will be hanged! ”

Qin Dong didn't believe that Gebuus didn't dare to do this kind of thing because he was timid, since this guy had the courage to run caravans between the two countries, it proved that this guy was a person who dared to take any risks for the sake of wealth, he said: "Master Gebuus, I have discussed with my uncle, and I am going to take back the goods, I don't care who Pedro is, if he dares to rob our goods, he won't let us live, he won't let us live, do we still have to sit and wait for death?" If he is allowed to steal our goods, will we not be allowed to take them back from him? He took our goods and we could only watch and there was nothing we could do, and we took back the goods to be a rebellion, who stipulated this? Is there any reason for this? Master Gebuus, you must know that you have been robbed of more than half of your family property, which you have accumulated after most of your hard work, and you are willing to cheapen that damn Pedro? If you agree to work with us, I definitely have a way to do it cleanly, even if someone tracks it down, there is no way to find it, and as long as we can succeed, we can get back not only the goods that originally belonged to us, but also the three months of tax silver, and then we will distribute it according to the number of people in each place, what do you think? ”

Qin Dong said that Gebuus clenched his fists, in fact, Qin Dong pinpointed Gebuus's vein, Gebuus was definitely a businessman who dared to do anything for the sake of wealth, and his pitiful loyalty to the Eastern Roman Empire was simply vulnerable in the face of wealth.

Gebuus gasped and looked up at Qin Dong and asked, "Bull, you said that you have a way to get the goods back, and you can do it so that people can't find out, is it true?" ”

"It's absolutely true, I dare to vouch for it with my head!" Qin Dong said with an oath.

Gebuus clenched his fist and slammed it on the table and said, "Okay, since you have all decided to do it, then what am I afraid of?" Say, what do you decide to do, what do you need me to do? ”

The reason why Qin Dong wants to pull up Gebuus is to tie this guy to his chariot, this guy is definitely a person worth buying, and he is also a person who can be bought, and this guy is still the head snake of Constantinople, this time he went to Constantinople to help with a little bit, and he had to be more secure in terms of safety, after this incident, he didn't want to be bought, think about it, attack the imperial army and steal a large number of goods and taxes and silver, what kind of crime is this, as long as he joins the gang and does this ticket, Qin Dong is equivalent to grabbing his handle, if this old guy is not honest, Qin Dong can tell the Eastern Roman Empire about this matter at any time, and it will be difficult for Gebuus's family not to be hanged at that time.

Qin Dong said: "You only need to do two things, first, early tomorrow morning, you go to the garrison of the Sixth Wing to go around, no matter what method you use, you must find out how many troops are still stationed in the garrison before dark tomorrow, what is the structure of the barracks, I dare to assert that the horses we lost must be in the barracks, Pedro's soldiers are basically infantry, this escort tax silver will not take away so many horses, except for cavalry, infantry will not ride horses at all, if you want to learn to ride a horse, it is not possible in a short time, So I concluded that the horses we had lost were still in the barracks, and that if we figured out how many troops and defenses were left in the barracks, we would be able to recover the horses, if we had enough money. We could go to the horse market and buy horses, but now we don't have that much money, so we have to use this method. Second. Hand over the command of your guards as well, I need their strength! ”

Gebuus nodded and said: "Okay, Boer, you have a good analysis, our lost horses should be in the barracks, Pedro will lead the troops to escort the tax money to Constantinople, and will definitely take most of the soldiers, and there are definitely not many soldiers left in the barracks." With our current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to get the horses back, so how do we get out of the city? ”

Qin Dong had already planned it, and he said, "Of course, the capture of horses and the capture of the city gate will be carried out at the same time. There are not many guards at the city gate, and they are all scrap soldiers, and my subordinates can easily deal with them, Master Gebuus can rest assured! ”

Gebuus said: "In that case. That's it! ”

And so it was settled. After enough guards had been arranged for the night to patrol the room, the others went back to their rooms to sleep. Qin Dong is not worried that he will not be able to catch up with Pedro's army because of this one or two days, Pedro's army needs to rhyme with taxes, silver and goods, there are carriages and most of the infantry in the team, and they are not fast, it will take at least half a month to arrive from Dirmit to Constantinople, as long as Qin Dong and the others take back the horses, they will have enough time to catch up with Pedro.

The next morning. Qin Dong ordered that except for some personnel, all the others should stay in the carriage shop to rest and recuperate. They were not allowed to go out, as it was likely that they would have so much rest in a short period of time, and at the same time he had people buy a large amount of wine and meat, so that his men could eat and drink well for lunch and dinner, and have enough body to move in the evening.

In view of the fact that Su He's injuries were relatively severe, he could not fight on horseback for a short time, and he would need to pursue Pedro's army for a long distance in the next few days, so Su He's injuries could not bear it at all, so Qin Dong prepared to arrange four guards and buy a carriage to send Su He back to Pazar to be injured.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, his guards came over and reported: "My lord, Lord Suhe is awake!" ”

"Let's go, let's see!" Qin Dong immediately got up and walked towards Su He's room.

After arriving at the room, Qin Dong saw that Su He had indeed woken up, and hurriedly walked over and said: "Su He, how do you feel, Daoist Cao has shown you that you are fine, but you have too many wounds, blood loss is strict, and it will be fine after a period of recuperation, you can rest assured that you are recuperating!" ”

Su He was very weak, his lips were a little dry, and he said in a very weak voice: "My lord, my subordinates have disappointed you, you handed over the responsibility of guarding the goods to me, but I didn't take care of the goods, but I made myself so miserable, and let the adults worry about it!" ”

Qin Dong comforted: "I don't blame you for this matter, no one can be spared, we have found out who hijacked the goods, so you can rest assured." There's one thing I'd like to discuss with you! ”

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

Qin Dong said: "That's the case, in view of your current injuries can't be bumpy, if you are too tired, it is likely to endanger your life, so I want to send someone to send you back, the carriage has been bought, as long as you go out of the city gate, outside is the territory of my Great Hun Empire, you are basically safe, what do you think?" ”

Su He's expression was a little gloomy: "My lord, Su He has dragged you down, in order not to delay your big event, my subordinates will follow your decision!" It's just that you must be careful, if you encounter danger, you must save your life first, and then find a way to send someone to send back the news, after we get the news in Pazar, we will definitely lead troops to the rescue! ”

Qin Dong nodded: "I know, I will!" Su He, I see that you are not young anymore, and after you heal from your injury this time, I will find a woman to be a mother-in-law, wash and barbecue for you and give birth to a child! ”

Speaking of this, Su He's face was a little ruddy, and he said a little embarrassed: "My lord, my subordinates have a girl I like, but I don't know if people like me!" ”

There is not much attention to the marriage of children on the grassland, although there are also parents who make the decision, but most of them still find their own favorite person to marry, this custom is the same even in ancient times.

"Oh?" Su He's words made Qin Dong quite curious, and he asked, "Which girl can make you look the other way?" Tell me, maybe I can help you? ”

"It's Tuolong's daughter, it seems to be called Hua Feng, but I don't know if she can take a fancy to me, my lord, do you think I can get Hua Feng's like?" Su He said, looking a little lacking in confidence, it is estimated that the girl is definitely a big beauty.

Qin Dong laughed after hearing this, "It turns out that you like Hua Feng, you have a lot of vision, I think it should be okay with your hairstyle!"

"Hairstyle?" Su He wondered, "What does this have to do with hairstyles?" ”

Qin Dong left, leaving a confused Su He alone pondering what is the intrinsic and inevitable connection between hairstyle and courtship.

After eating breakfast, Su He was carried into a carriage, and the four guards were responsible for escorting him to Pazar, and after the carriage left the city, Qin Dong relieved himself and called Alfald to his room.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Alfold asked as he knocked on the door and entered.

"Sit down!" Qin Dong pointed to the stool and said, and after Afalde sat down, he said, "Afald, you should be clear about the situation, right?" Today, during the day, Gebuus will go to inquire about the situation of the Sixth Wing's station, and at night we will raid the Sixth Wing's station to grab the horses, and if you want to go out of the city, you must control the city gate, but you can't make a noise in advance to be discovered by the defenders in the city, if we are discovered by the defenders in the city and rush, we are likely to be blocked in the city, so the raid on the station of the Sixth Wing and the seizure of the city gate must be carried out at the same time, I will give you a task now, you take a dozen of your people and the members of Gebuus's escort, There are more than 60 people in total, and tonight's mission is to seize the city gate while we raid the 6th Wing station, and you need to observe the situation at the city gate during the day, so that you can be mentally prepared when you act at night! ”

Alfald nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, we have done this kind of thing before, and we already have some experience, if there is nothing else, our subordinates will take people to check the situation of the city gate guards!" ”

"Go ahead!" Qin Dong waved his hand.

At noon, Gebuus came back, and brought back the details of the Sixth Wing's station, which made Qin Dong very happy, as long as there was the details of the Sixth Wing's station, the success rate of the operation to retrieve the horses at night would be greatly improved, which was definitely good news for Qin Dong.

Under the gaze of Qin Dong and Peteus, Gebuus slowly drew out the plan of the Sixth Wing of the ground with a reed pen, and marked the locations of the houses, what they were used for, the stables were on the edge of the city wall, Gebuus pointed to the stables after painting: "Right here, I spent money to inquire clearly, you guessed right, there are more than two hundred more horses in the stable!" ”

Qin Dong looked at the rough floor plan on one side, pounded it on the table and said, "Success or failure is here!" It has to be successful tonight! (To be continued......)
