In May 463 AD, Qin Dong led 100,000 troops to cross the Drava River in Upper Mexia, attacking Illyria from Osiek, from Osiek to Shamatz on the banks of the Sava River, there are three passes, among these three passes, the White Tiger Pass in the middle is the most dangerous, and the garrison is also the most, but the other two passes are also very dangerous, but they are inferior to the White Tiger Pass.

Just breaking through the Ossijek Pass at the forefront, Qin Dong lost 1,200 elite soldiers, you must know that the defenders of the Western Roman Empire in the entire Osijek Pass are only one wing, more than 600 people, and the ratio of casualties has reached two to one, this is still because the soldiers of the Western Roman Empire in the Osijek Pass got the news that Illyria in the rear has been fully occupied by the Ostrogoths, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit and fighting spirit, which made Qin Dong send troops to attack for three consecutive days.

After breaking through the Osijek Pass, Qindong's army only captured a small number of prisoners, but fortunately, Chris, the wing leader who guarded the Osijek Pass, was captured.

On May 16th, the army of the Great Qin Empire arrived at the White Tiger Pass, Qin Dong and several generals rode horses and stood not far away to observe the White Tiger Pass, the White Tiger Pass was built very high, very strong, built by the mountain, if you want to go to Illyria, here is the only way, of course, you can take a detour, but it has to pass through Macedonia ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire, Qin Dong does not want to have anything to do with the Eastern Roman Empire now, so the idea of detouring from Macedonia was abandoned.

After observing for a while, the infantry general Faisal said: "Your Majesty, this White Tiger Pass is worthy of being the most dangerous pass in the eastern part of the Western Roman Empire, and it is not easy to break through this White Tiger Pass!" ”

Born in the Western Roman Empire, the polyphonic interface said: "Majesty xià." As far as the general knows, when the White Tiger Pass was built, the Western Roman Empire asked Wahlberg, the most famous military architect in Rome, to spend a year designing it. After the design drawings were completed, the construction began immediately, and the Western Empire authorities mobilized 100,000 people, and it took five years to complete, the amount of work was extremely huge, and the earthwork, stone and other construction materials consumed were innumerable. Its fortification is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it has a very sophisticated defensive system inside, which combines the defensive functions of the castle and the city walls. And in the position where the archery hole is located, the guards can shoot the attacking soldiers at will in the archery hole, but the attacker's archers can not shoot the guards in the archery hole, so the design coupled with the powerful internal defense equipment makes the entire pass a veritable grinding disc meat grinder. If you storm. Our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties! ”

Qin Dong observed the White Tiger Pass, while listening to Duoyin's introduction to the situation of the White Tiger Pass, the more he listened, the more his brows wrinkled, and after Duoyin finished speaking, he asked for a long time: "Then how is Chris, the guard of Osiyek Pass, doing now?" ”

Faisal said: "Your Majesty, Chris's mood is very low, he hasn't eaten for two days, if it goes on like this." I'm afraid he'll be dead in a few days! ”

Qin Dong thought about it for a while, turned around and walked in the direction of the camp, "Let's go." Let's take a look at the Osijek defender! ”

Generals such as Faisal and Duoyin didn't understand why Qin Dong cared so much about that Chris, Chris was just a co-captain, there were many such people in the Western Roman Empire, and there didn't seem to be anything special about this Chris.

After returning to the camp, Qin Dong handed over the war horse to the groom, and led the generals to the tent area where the prisoners were imprisoned, halfway through, Qin Dong thought about it and beckoned Duoyin to his side and said: "Duoyin, according to intelligence, the White Tiger Pass guard McLean is this Chris's uncle, if we can win Chris over, and then let him persuade McClain to surrender, then we can get the White Tiger Pass and the Shyamatz Pass behind without killing a person, do you say this deal is worth it?" ”

After hearing this, Duoyin suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Majesty is planning to do so, so what can I do for His Majesty?" ”

Qin Dong nodded and said: "You are a Roman, and this Chris is also a Roman, I think there should be a common topic between you, whether you can convince Chris to be used by me, it's up to you, Qi Muge, tell General Duoyin about Chris's relevant information!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" As soon as he agreed, he told Duoyin about Chris's information in detail, including detailed family background and social relationships.

When he walked to the prisoner's tent area, his wooden grid was almost finished, and Duoyin actually didn't know the bottom after listening to it, because he was not a person who was good at being a lobbyist, and it was not enough for Qin Dong to hand over this errand to him, so he could only drive the ducks to the shelves and bite the bullet.

The captives were kept in a huge wooden cage made of stout wood, and as the weather gradually got hotter, only at noon during the day, the soldiers guarding the wooden cage would cover the huge wooden cage with cloth to block the sun, and in the afternoon they would tear off the cloth covering the wooden cage to keep it as ventilated as possible so that these captives would not get sick due to the environment. At least Chris can stretch freely inside, and he can stand without getting knocked over his head.

Qin Dong took the others to stand far away, and after receiving the task of being a lobbyist, Duoyin led two soldiers carrying a low table and a small bench to the wooden cage where Chris was held, and when they arrived at the door, the soldiers guarding saw that it was Duoyin, and immediately saluted: "General Duoyin!" ”

Chris in the cage saw Duoyin, and he was surprised that there would be a Romans in the army of the Great Qin Empire, and it was also a general, which made his eyes have a little more sparkle.

Duoyin looked at Chris and pointed to the cell door and said to the guards: "Open the cell door and ask General Chris to come out and sit!" ”

"Yes, General!"

When the cell door was opened, and Chris came out, the two soldiers who had come with Duoyin had already set up the low table and two small benches, and on the low table were already placed several plates of dishes, a silver flask, and two wine glasses.

Duoyin stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of the dwarf and said to Chris, "General Chris, please!" ”

Chris looked at the dishes, flasks and wine glasses on the low table and smiled indifferently: "It seems that this is going to send me on the road, okay, if I want to die, I will eat enough and die again, so as not to go to hell hungry and not be bullied by other ghosts" said and walked over and sat down and began to move.

Chris was also polite, he thought that this was a severed head meal prepared for him by the Great Qin army, so that he could be fed and sent on his way, so he threw off his arms and picked up the wine jug to pour himself wine, drinking wine and eating vegetables.

Seeing this, Duoyin didn't speak, walked to the low stool and sat down, waited for Chris to eat almost, and said with a smile: "General Chris, how do these dishes taste?" ”

Chris nodded while feasting and said vaguely: "Well, yes, it seems a bit of a waste to give me a dying person!" ”

"Dying people? Hahaha, General Chris, who said you were going to die? Duoyin laughed as he picked up the flask and poured himself a glass of wine, taking a sip slowly.

"Huh?" When Chris heard this, he didn't eat anymore, stopped and swallowed the food in his mouth, pointed to the dishes on the low table, and said, "You have prepared so many delicacies for me, the general of the defeated army, aren't you going to send me on my way?" ”

Duoyin was stunned, and laughed loudly: "I've only heard of giving guillotine to prisoners, but I've never heard of giving guillotine to prisoners, General Chris, you have to know that prisoners and prisoners are two different people!" ”

Hearing this, Chris put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "I don't know what you call it?" ”

Duoyin said: "Duoyin, you can call me Duoyin, I know that General Chris is a Roman, in fact, I am also a Roman, ten years ago I was the captain of the 1st Wing of the 11th Army of the Western Roman Empire!" ”

Chris was taken aback when he heard this, and his curiosity drove him to ask, "Why did the general become the general of the Great Qin Empire?" ”

"That's because I offended the Roman magnates at the time, I was just a small wing captain, how could I fight the senators of the Senate on top? Then I was framed, arrested and put in prison as a prisoner, those people wanted to drain my last drop of oil, so I became a slave, fortunately my subordinates did not forget me, after selling me, they rescued me, in order to escape the pursuit I had to come to the Mobei grassland!

But this is also very good, you see I am doing very well now, I used to be just a wing captain of the Western Empire, even if I have the ability to do it at most, I can only be a wing captain, because I don't have a backstage, and I don't bother to hold some people's thick legs, but here I have been reused, the centurion of the year, the current emperor of the Great Qin Empire, His Majesty Xià appreciates my military talent, and has been promoting me, I am now a commander of 36,000 people, the military rank and military rank are equivalent to the governor of the province, compared with the emerging Great Qin Empire, The Western Roman Empire is already an old man who is dying at any moment, it rots inside and out, isn't it? You are a Roman, and for this you should know very well .......! ”

Chris understood what Duoyin meant and asked, "Is the general trying to convince me to surrender?" ”

Duoyin hurriedly said: "The general misunderstood what I meant, I just want to show the general a way out, the general is not those straw bales who rely on nepotism to climb up, but a general with extraordinary military talent, I know that it is difficult to persuade the general to serve my imperial majesty, but is the general so willing to die for the tattered dynasty that has rotted to the bones?" The Western Empire is not saved, it is completely hopeless, is it worth it for the general to die for such a dynasty? You have your family, they all want you to be safe, don't they? ”

Duoyin talked to Chris for a long time, and after two hours, Chris finally wavered a little, but that's all, but Duoyin was very happy, because as long as Chris's psychological defense was shaken, it was a huge improvement in his lobbying this time.

In the next two days, Duoyin came to talk to Chris every day, and he didn't take any precautions against Chris, which made Chris very moved, and it wasn't until Qin Dong came to see Chris in person three days later, and after the two met for a long talk again, Chris finally decided to return to Qin Dong and serve the Great Qin Empire.
