Chapter 189: Fooling Modo
Since Marcian was kidnapped by Qin Dong, he did suffer great physical and mental trauma, after being sent to Leo, Leo immediately led his troops to escort him to Edine, after Edine rested for two days, Leo personally led the army to escort him back to Constantinople, Marcian did think of revenge against Qin Dong after being safe, but had to give up because of physical reasons, and planned to wait until he went back to Constantinople to recuperate for a while, and it was not too late to settle accounts with Qin Dong after his body was better, but unfortunately he did not have this opportunity.
Qin Dong has to be busy next, from Dirmit to Quesnell, the houses and fields on this newly acquired land were before because the people were worried about the Hun massacre, so they left with their families, leaving behind a lot of ownerless houses and fields, Qin Dong just announced that if the previous owner did not return within half a year, these ownerless lands and houses would be confiscated and distributed to other poor people and slaves who had just been freed, and he had not had time to personally govern this land, Sedika sent people to come.
It was Modo's herald who came, "Master Qin Dong Qianfu, General Modo ordered the villain to come and give the order, and the Lord will go to Saidika to meet tomorrow!" ”
"It's hard work, you go down and rest first!" Qin Dong said a word, and arranged for the attendants to entertain the herald.
Qin Dong knew that these things couldn't be hidden, Mo Duo must have known the situation, so he would send someone to urge him to go to Saidika, this time he would definitely be scolded, with his relationship with Mo Duo, Mo Duo should not treat him well, after all, everyone is a person in the same camp, and now the external shape is grim. There is a lot of pressure, and Modo should not do anything to cut off his arm and destroy the Great Wall.
In the afternoon of the same day. Qin Dong took a group of guards to rush to Pazar overnight on fast horses, ran nearly 200 kilometers, and returned to Pazar at almost dawn.
After Qin Dong returned to Pazar, he immediately asked Liu San to prepare some belongings for him to bring to Saidika to give to Modo, Modo may not be greedy for his money, but it is one thing for people to want it, and it is another thing for him to send it or not, and this time he extorted so much money from the Eastern Roman Empire. He didn't believe that Mo Duo hadn't gotten the slightest information, and as a feudal official, it was impossible for Mo Duo not to even have this intelligence ability.
Money is a must-have. Not only to give it to Modo, but also to send someone to send a part of it to the royal court to pay tribute to the big order to Elak, after all, this is what he captured the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire and extorted, and the royal court will definitely get the news. So he has to get things done up front. So as not to cause dissatisfaction with the big order Yu Ellak, as for sending more and sending less, there are exquisiteness and articles in it.
If you give too much, Modo and Da Dan Yu Erak will definitely think that he has secretly intercepted a lot, maybe they will think that he secretly ate a large head, but he threw the bones to them, and gave too little, they will definitely not believe that he only extorted such a small amount of money. And then they became suspicious and distrustful of him.
Qin Dong had also thought of directly escorting Marcian to the royal court and handing it over to Da Dan Yu Erak, but in this way. There will be a lot of variables in things, according to his credit, Da Shan Yu must also be promoted to his official, and not only one level, because this merit is too great, the emperor who captured the enemy country, this merit is higher than the sky, how many levels should be promoted to be appropriate? But as far as Qin Dong knows, there are no vacancies for officials and generals above the rank of commander now, what position will Dadan Yu Erak arrange him in? After analysis, he thinks that Erak is very likely to recall him to the royal court again to stay by his side, because only the royal court has such a position, but going back to the royal court is not what he hopes at all, he already has a large inheritance here, what a pity to leave it, and he worked hard to come out of the royal court, how can he go back again, if he wants to go back, he will also have to fight back with a large army, besides, will Da Shan Yu be jealous of his talent because of this? This has to be considered, many generals of the Western Roman Empire were killed by the emperor because of their outstanding ability, which caused the jealousy of the emperor, and he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of those fools, so Qin Dong negotiated with the Eastern Roman Empire privately, and did not involve Modo and the royal court.
When he went to the royal court, his fate could not be chosen by himself, and if he stayed with Pazar, he had the ability to decide his own fate, this was his territory, and no matter how small the territory was, it was all up to him, not as in other places, everywhere depending on people's faces.
Qin Dong slept for three hours, and after getting up, he set off for Saidika with two hundred guards and some property, and at the same time, a team of people accompanied them with a batch of property, ready to go to the royal court to give Da Dan Yu Erak, and the group of people who went to the royal court waved the banner of the imperial offering, which showed that this group of men and horses was ready to go to the royal court to pay tribute to Da Shan Yu, so that the centurions and thousand-neckers of other territories did not dare to come to fight the autumn wind, and robbed the tribute to Da Shan Yu, this crime was enough for them to die without a place to be buried, The authority of Da Shan Yu of the Xiongnu Empire is supreme, and if you offend the authority of Da Shan Yu, I am afraid it is not as simple as death.
Qin Dong and more than 200 other people rushed to Saidika in the afternoon, and Saidika was still not much different from half a year ago, as always depressed, and the Huns and Skir seemed to be born to govern the city at all.
Leaving the escort outside Modo's camp, Qin Dong only took Batu and a few guards into Modo's camp, at this time Modo had just finished lunch, and when he heard that Qin Dong was coming, he ordered someone to call him in.
Qin Dong first sent the property, and after the property was sent to the big tent of the Chinese army, he walked in and saluted Mo Duo: "General, Qin Dong came to ask the general!" ”
Qin Dong's move can't help but be clever, Mo Duo is holding back the fire in his belly, and he is ready to attack after Qin Dong finishes the ceremony, but Qin Dong first admits his mistake and asks for punishment, which makes Mo Duo's anger smoothed out by half, but Mo Duo will not let him go so easily, and hummed: "Qin Dong, do you still know that you are wrong?" You are not small, you left the jurisdiction without permission, and you didn't even care about the military and political affairs of the jurisdiction, but you went to Constantinople to have a good time, and when you arrived in Constantinople, you caused a big disaster and were arrested and put in prison, and you were sent to the gladiatorial arena to be arrogant for a few months, and finally kidnapped the emperors of other people, do you think that no one can cure you, huh? You kidnapped someone's emperor. This is the act of a warrior, and there is a great merit, even if the big order does not reward you. I also want to reward you, but you shouldn't negotiate with the other party privately without reporting to General Ben and the royal court, do you still have General Ben and Da Shan Yu in your eyes, ah? ”
Qin Dong immediately knelt down and pretended to be pitiful: "My lord's forgiveness, forgiveness, the villain is actually not playful, he actually went to Constantinople to bring his mother back to enjoy his happiness." Even if he was in Constantinople, it was not the villains who deliberately caused trouble, it was those Romans who thought they were the Celestial Empire. Laughing at us as barbarians, and laughing at the Xiongnu Empire established by the sages and great dan Yu is a small barbarian country with no civilization and no writing. I don't know how to count etiquette. The villain was really angry, and he killed some of them in a fit of anger before they were caught in prison ......".
Before he finished speaking, Modo couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, what a bastard, these Romans are self-righteous and look down on me and others, and I still look down on them." Later, the Romans were captured and killed by the general! ”
Qin Dong immediately said: "Yes, the villain must follow the instructions of the general." Kill all the Romans if you catch them! ”
"Ahem!" Mo Duo also seemed to realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly said: "Okay, this stubble General Ben won't care about you, you want to take your mother over to enjoy the blessings, General Ben appreciates it very much, so I won't hold you responsible for leaving the jurisdiction without permission, but you kidnapped other people's emperors and negotiated with them privately, what do you say?" Aren't you afraid of causing two countries to go to war? Have you ever put Da Shan Yu and General Ben in your eyes? ”
Qin Dong wiped his sweat and immediately said what he had thought of: "General, the villain's kidnapping of the emperor is also a helpless move, if you don't catch the emperor as a hostage, the villain and his soldiers will not be able to escape at all, only by kidnapping the emperor as a hostage can he return safely, who let the emperor be closest to the villain at that time, it can only make him unlucky, as for the matter of negotiating with the Eastern Rome privately, in fact, the villain didn't want to make trouble for the general and Da Shan Yu to do so, After the villain tied the emperor back, he wanted to send the emperor to Saidika, and then the adults sent someone to escort him to the royal court, but the villain thought about it, he couldn't do this, the current situation in the royal court was delicate, and Da Shan Yu was in a hurry, wouldn't it be troublesome for Da Shan Yu to send such a hot item? If the brothers of Da Shan Yu who were sent over knew about it, they would definitely take this opportunity to attack Da Dan Yu, and maybe they would unite with the Eastern Roman side to deal with Da Shan Yu's forces, and then we would be the first to be attacked, wouldn't this be a trouble for the general? I'll solve this matter myself, and by the time Da Shan Yu's brothers know, the matter will be over, and they will be helpless even if they want to make trouble! ”
Mo Duo listened to Qin Dong's words, and thought about it, he also felt that this was the case, if he really sent the Eastern Roman Emperor to the royal court, the matter would be more troublesome, maybe it would really bring more trouble to Erak and himself, and without the knowledge of others, it might be the best result for Qin Dong to solve it himself.
Mo Duo nodded and said: "Okay, if you are polite, I have been pressing this matter and not reporting it to Da Shan Yu, just to give you a chance, but whether Da Shan Yu really doesn't know is not clear, you have passed this level with me, whether you can pass the test there depends on your luck, okay, you get up!" ”
Qin Dong said happily: "General Xie! With that, he got up from the ground.
Da Dan Yu must also have an intelligence system in the hands of Erak, absolutely yes, even if he didn't have it before, he must have started to build an intelligence system after he ascended the throne, otherwise how would he grasp the situation outside and inside? Qin Dong knew this very well, so he would send a fast horse to the royal court to report to Dadan Yu Elac before the team escorting the tribute team on the road.
Now that Da Dan Yu Erak and his brothers have entered a white-hot stage, he will definitely not push Qin Dong, his own person, into the arms of others, which is also the reason why Qin Dong has no fear.
As long as Erak can resist the pressure of his brothers and veto them to give them the people of the Skirs, Gepids, and Ostrogoths to their rule, he will definitely be supported by Valamir, Aldarik, and Edika, but if he compromises with his brothers, then he will definitely be abandoned by these people, and it is up to Erak to withstand the pressure.
Mo Duo had also heard about these things, not only had he received news from the royal court, but his commanders also basically knew about the very discordant situation within the royal court, and the situation was becoming more and more tense now.
Mo Duo asked Qin Dong to sit down next to him and said: "Recently, the royal court has made a lot of unpleasant noise, the atmosphere is very tense, it is said that Da Shan Yu and several of his brothers almost fought on the main hall, thanks to the ministers to stop it, there was no joke, although the matter has calmed down, but the resentment has been buried deep in the bottom of my heart, as for the atmosphere between the various factions in various places has also become very tense, I am no exception here, among the ten thousand commanders under my command, except for you, only five are under my control, and the other four are not my people, Two of them are Enek's people, one is Ernak's people, and the remaining one is Deng Zhixike's people, and now they seem to be secretly united together, and they are not so active in carrying out my orders, I called you over today, mainly to discuss with you the countermeasures to the future changes in the situation, not to hold you responsible, I also read the property you brought, even if you kid still have a little conscience, I know to give me a little bit of this old man, if Da Shan Yu really wants to hold you accountable, I will block it for you, Don't mention this matter again, you have always had a lot of ideas, you can talk about what to do with Da Dan Yu and his brothers in case they really turn against each other, how should we deal with and deal with it? ”
Qin Dong got up and saluted Mo Duo before saying: "Thank you for your trust and treat me as your own, otherwise your lord will not talk to me like this, since the adult asks, then I will tell you my opinion, first of all, we must be able to get the news in time to respond, although we are not very far from the royal court here, it is not very close, and it will take several days to arrive on a fast horse day and night, and if we get the news before the other four commanders who are not under your control, we will have time to arrange, On the contrary, we are likely to be the first to be attacked, so the speed of getting the news is very important.
Second, we must think about how to deal with and deal with it in advance, we can assume that there will be several situations, for these situations, we have to make corresponding responses, Da Shan Yu and his brothers are now in a very stiff relationship, the most likely result is that Da Shan Yu and his brothers fight, then after we get the news, we will immediately do something to the other four disobedient guys, let them stay around, I think not only I will have trouble sleeping, adults will definitely be like this. There is another situation, they didn't fight, Da Shan Yu subdued his brothers, then everyone continued to be safe, if those four people were still disobedient, then the adults would have an excuse to rectify them. Of course, there is another situation, that is, Da Dan Yu compromised with his brothers, this situation is likely to appear, and we can only wait and see what happens, but you can't give them four good looks, the more you tolerate them, the more arrogant they will be! That's what I think a little bit of simple, and I hope it can be useful to adults." (To be continued......)
