Chapter 403: Soldiers Arrive in Vienna

In September 459, Qin Dong led an army of 50,000 to Vinia in the south-central south of the Hu Empire, and the capital of the territory of Sambus, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was located in Venia. Vienna, the capital of Austria in later generations, was called "Vidobona" by the Romans. It was also the historical capital of the Holy Roman Empire (from 1278), the Austrian Empire (from 1806) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (from 1867).

Venia was once the land of the Roman Empire, but in the 5th century there was a devastating fire that destroyed almost all of Vienna. There is a legend that the Huns and the Romans had a great battle here, and then the remnants of the Romans were defeated and evacuated here, and Vienna was officially controlled by the Huns, and later Sambus saw that there were forests surrounding the area on the west, north and south, and the Danube and the forest river passed through it, and the vast Eastern European Plain was opposite to it from the east, and it was lush and vibrant, with a beautiful environment and charming scenery, and it was the best ideal place to settle down, so it was stationed here in the camp, Since then, it has once again had the appearance of a town.

Qin Dong fell asleep on his war horse, but the war horse was still trotting all the way with him, like this situation was very common among cavalry, almost every cavalry of the Hu Empire could eat, drink and sleep on the war horse.

"Hoofs trampling, hooves trampling, hooves trampling ......." A rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a scout cavalry running from the front next to the cavalry team and stopping in front of Qin Dong.

"Fifty miles ahead is Vinya, the capital of the territory of the Southern Courtyard King Sambus, and General Lored has personally brought a group of generals to meet His Majesty. King Sambus also led a group of officials in his territory to go out thirty miles outside the city of Venia to greet His Majesty! ”

Qin Dong woke up, yawned and said, "Oh? Already in Vinya? Someone, send an order to the whole army to keep moving forward at the current marching speed! ”

"Command!" The herald quickly raised the flag. Later, when the subordinates saw the banner displayed by the emperor, they sent their own heralds to run back and forth in their ranks, shouting loudly to maintain the speed of the march.

After walking for a few minutes, a cloud of smoke and dust rose a few miles in front of the team, and a small group of cavalry could be faintly seen, and soon the banner of that team was clearly seen, it was Lored's general flag, and it was Lorid who was galloping towards this side at full speed with a cadre of generals.

The Heavenly Wolf General Zheli saw it next to him and said, "Your Majesty." It's General Lored, did he give the order to stop the army? ”

Qin Dong reined in his war horse and stopped waving his hand and said, "No need, the army continues to move forward." Let's keep walking, too! ”

The generals nodded and continued to instigate the war horses to follow behind Qin Dong.

Lored soon came to see Qin Dong with a cadre of generals and hundreds of cavalry guards, and Qin Dong reined in the reins of his horse and the generals he brought to stop to accept the visit of Lorid and others.

"The last general and others welcome His Majesty Xià in person, long live. Hooray! ”

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Okay." The ranks are all dressed in armor, and the salute is not too respectful, so let's get rid of it, get up, get up! ”

"Thank you!"

Lored said again: "Your Majesty, when the last generals came, I saw Sambus leading a group of officials waiting ten miles ahead to greet His Majesty's royal car, and they were all sweating profusely, so they should have been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Oh?" Qin Dong nodded. "Then let's stop talking on this road, let's talk about it after we set up camp. Don't keep Sambus waiting, let's go now! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The speed of the march is very fast, although it is not as fast as the speed of the horse gallop in a certain period of time or some periods, but in the whole process of the march, if the speed of the horse is maintained, the march time is much faster than the run-and-stop march.

It only took a quarter of an hour to meet a group of officials led by Sambus, who were at the foot of a hill at this time, and saw a large group of military horses appearing, Sambus knew that it was Qin Dong's royal driver who was coming, and immediately took the officials and the generals of the escort team to ride up to meet them.

A few hundred meters apart, Qin Dong and the generals stopped at the front of the entire team, and the army behind also stopped in unison.

"The minister Sambus led a group of officials and generals of the escort team to welcome His Majesty to Venia in person, long live Your Majesty!"

"Hooray, hooray!"

"The king of the Southern Courtyard is exempt, get up!" Qin Dong rode on the horse and said lightly.

"Thank you!"

Qin Dong and Sambus didn't have any friendship at all, when Qin Dong was still Elak's guard, Sambus was already the right captain, at that time the status difference between the two was too great, one was underground, the other was in the sky, and then Qin Dong left the royal court to go to Saidika, and in just a few years, he was promoted to the captain of ten thousand people, but Qin Dong was able to become the king of the Eastern Court later and benefited from Sambus in a great way, because it was Sambus who built yì Erak to make Qin Dong the presiding officer of the southeast of the empire. Erak canonized Qin Dong as the king of the Eastern Courtyard, and Sambus himself was also canonized as the king of the Southern Courtyard.

On this point, Qin Dong also has to thank Sambus, so on the issue of treating Sambus, Qin Dong can be said to have made a big concession, only letting Sambus hand over the military power, retaining independent administrative power, and also retaining a 2,000-man cavalry guard, which is equivalent to allowing Sambus to carry out a high degree of autonomy on his original territory, and Sambus himself is also very smart and rational, he realized at a critical moment that it is unwise to blindly carry it with the royal court, so he finally reached an agreement with the royal court, It retained its independent administration and a guard of 2,000 men, exercised autonomy and surrendered military power.

Qin Dong turned over and dismounted and walked towards Sambus, the armor and armor on his body made a rustling sound from time to time because of the movement of his body, "In the past, I was fortunate to see the right captain a few times in the royal court with Xian Shan Yu Erak, at that time, the right captain was full of vicissitudes, and now the face of the king of the southern courtyard is much better than then, it seems that this Venia is really a good place to raise people, good mountains and rivers!" ”

Sambus said respectfully: "Thank you Your Majesty for always remembering, the minister is grateful, today I saw His Majesty, His Majesty the dragon and tiger's capital, mighty and majestic, it really makes the ministers and others awe-inspired, His Majesty is the dragon of the earth, the king of kings, the god of the gods, the king of the universe, this time His Majesty is personally driving the barbarians in the west, and will definitely kill those unruly people and return triumphantly!" ”

This sycophant is really powerful enough, although Qin Dong is not very interested in being slapped on the horse, but after listening to Sambus's sycophants, he is really excited, thinking that even Attila was only called the god of gods by his subjects and foreign envoys, but now some people call Qin Dong the king of the universe, and use the words that can be used to elevate Qin Dong's identity to the extreme, I am afraid that there is no identity that can be higher than the king of the universe.

"Hahaha......" Qin Dong burst out laughing, but from this long string of laughter, he could hear that Qin Dong was very happy, and then Qin Dong said: "Okay, then borrow the auspicious words of the king of the Southern Courtyard!" ”

Sambus pulled out two young men from behind him and introduced: "Your Majesty, these are the two sons of the minister, the one on the left is the eldest son Khurba, and the one on the right is the younger son Khurhan!" ”

After the introduction, Sambus scolded the two sons again: "You two little cubs, don't you see Your Majesty soon!" ”

"See Your Majesty!" The two young men were forced by Sambus to salute Qin Dong honestly. Qin Dong received this gift, but he was also accepted in vain, and ordered that two horses from the imperial horse supervisor be selected and rewarded to Sambus's two sons.

After this, Sambus said: "Your Majesty, the minister has prepared some cattle and amniotic water wine for the army outside the city of Vinia, and there are three months of grain and grass, which is a piece of the mind of the ministers and officials, and please ask Your Majesty to smile, as for the camp of the army, the minister did not dare to build it without authorization, if His Majesty does not dislike it, he can set up the palace in the minister's mansion."

The camp is a temporary fortification for the army to rest and defend against enemy raids, and the construction of a camp really can't be left to irrelevant people to do, who knows if it's safe inside?

Qin Dong didn't care much either, nodded and said: "The king of the southern courtyard has a heart, as for the construction of the camp, there is no need to bother the king of the southern courtyard, this is the territory of the Hu Empire, I am the supreme emperor of this land, I don't believe that anyone has the courage to dare to attack my royal driver, and my palace is with the army, how can I do the thing of doves occupying the magpie's nest?" General Lored? ”

"The last general!" Lored immediately stepped forward to agree.

"It's up to you to choose a place outside the city of Viña where the army can rest, and set up my palace in the place where the army rests, so that there is no need to build another camp, and in our own land, my army has never needed to build a camp to defend against the enemy. We are the only ones who fight others, and no one else will beat us, and those who dare to beat us will definitely make them pay an unbearable price! ”

Qin Dong's words seemed to mean something else, although many people didn't hear it, but at least Sambus heard it, Qin Dong was warning some restless people to be honest, otherwise, he would definitely give a damaging blow to some people.

Lored immediately said, "Obey!" ”

The army then marched in the direction of Viña at a normal pace, and in only an hour, under the auspices of Lored, the army stopped ten miles east of the city of Vigna, and the soldiers began to set up marching tents in small groups, and in every three tents lived a squad, and these three tents were on the three corners of a triangle, which could support each other's defense, and a squadron could form a medium triangle, and a brigade could form a large triangle, and the commander's command tent was located in the middle of this large triangle, Orders could be given to three squadrons at the shortest distance.

And so on, the three brigades of a battalion are arranged on the three corners of a larger triangle, and the battalion commander's tent is set up in the middle of the triangle to facilitate command, and it has been arranged in this way, until in the end, the military tents of the three divisions have formed a super extra-large triangle, and the big tent and the palace of the Chinese army in Qindong are located in the middle of this super-large triangle, and the tent of another division is arranged in a slightly smaller triangle, which is arranged nearby, and the two sides can be horns of each other.
