Pazar.

Qin Dong was anxiously waiting for the battle report from the southwest in the mansion, and footsteps sounded outside the door, this was someone coming, he thought that Liu San had brought the battle report of the Suhe army, but it was not Liu San who came, but the chief of the guard, Batu.

"My lord, Lord Pethius has sent someone to report that Lord Lored has turned back to Pazar, and there is still about an hour and a half to get to the gate of the southern city, and a patrol from the northwest has sent someone to report that Lord Modo has entered our territory with three hundred cavalry, and has not even said hello, and has forcibly rushed past the blockade of the patrol and is coming straight to Pazar, my lord, does Modo want to disadvantage us? Do you want to send troops to surround them? ”

Mo Duo suddenly led people to break in without even saying hello, which made Qin Dong a little annoyed, but Qin Dong thought about it and knew why Mo Duo would bring people to break into his territory without saying hello, Mo Duo was dissatisfied with him for sending troops to attack Marcus in advance without saying hello, so he brought people over to ask for guilt, but he definitely didn't want to attack him, otherwise, Mo Duo would not have brought only three hundred people over.

Qin Dong knew this, it was originally his fault, this military action to eliminate internal hidden dangers was decided after he discussed with Modo and Lored, and he wanted to send troops at the same time, so as not to send troops first to make the opponent wary of the other side and not conducive to attacking, but Qin Dong took the lead regardless of what they had agreed, which was almost completely disregarding the overall situation, so he was only a little annoyed at first after hearing Batu's report, but soon calmed down. Now he had to come up with a reason to send troops first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Modo, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lored. At this stage, everyone is still an ally in the same boat, and we can't fall out.

After thinking about it, Qin Dong raised his hand and shook it: "No, Modo is angry that I sent troops to deal with Marcus first without saying hello to him, this time I brought people over to ask for an explanation, not to attack us, if he wants to attack us." You won't just bring three hundred riders, so you bring some people over to meet you. You must pay attention to what Mo Duo says or does, you have to hold back for me, and you can't give Mo Duo an excuse to play on the topic! Also, I'll go to the gate of the South City to meet Lord Lored. After you get Modo, take him to the gate of the southern city. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the South City with Lord Lored, and then we'll all go into the city together!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Batu agreed, turned and walked out.

Qin Dong knew that this matter wanted to clear up Modo's misunderstanding, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for Modo to extinguish the fire with just one mouth, so he wanted to convince Lored first, and let Lorid convince Modo, Modo is a rough man. Lored is not a gentleman, and there is still a common language between the two rough people.

Under the arch guard of the guards. Qin Dong quickly arrived at the gate of the southern city, and after waiting for a few minutes, he saw a flag fluttering in the wind at the end of the road, and it seemed that Lorid had arrived.

didn't wait too long to see the team in front of him, sure enough, it was Lored's men and horses, accompanied by Peteus and others, and brought Lorid and others to the front, Qin Dong rode up to meet him and said with a smile: "Lord Lored, is this trip still smooth?" ”

Lored was in good spirits, he seemed to be in a very good mood, he smiled heartily: "Yes, Lord Qin, you have managed your territory very well, we Huns can only graze, farming is not, even the arithmetic is only a little, building a city has never been built, and here I have seen the newly built city, I have seen a lot of things that I have never seen, what amazes me is that there are actually our people who have learned to tann leather, spin thread and farm, which is really shocking, This also shows that our people can not only herd, but also learn other survival skills as long as they are willing to learn! Your practice here is worth learning from, and when I go back, I will refer to your successful experience from Da Shan Yu Jian, and adopt this model in the royal court! ”

Qin Dong laughed when he heard this: "Da Shan Yu is a person who is willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, and I also hope that the adults will be able to convince Da Shan Yu when they go back!" ”

Qin Dong said this, but he didn't think so, the Huns have their own living habits, and it is not an overnight thing to change their living habits, the reason why Qin Dong can succeed here is because there are not only Huns among his people, except for the army, more than seventy percent of the people in the territory are the population of other ethnic groups, Qin Dong himself continues to make some new things and unusual actions to bring a huge impact to the people of all ethnic groups in his territory, and the people of all ethnic groups have been more or less affected, Some people learned to herd, and the Huns, seeing this, also began to learn the specialties of other peoples, such as farming and tanning leather, and also learned to spin and cut yarn from the Romans.

On the one hand, Da Shan Yu does not necessarily support this policy of blending various ethnic groups, on the other hand, Da Shan Yu has no intention of engaging in this set at this stage, and what he wants to do most now is to kill his brothers and fully obtain the control of the entire Xiongnu Empire, only in this way can his name of the Xiongnu Da Shan Yu match the rights, otherwise he is only a nominal Da Shan Yu, and the actual rights are much smaller.

Lored was in a good mood, he nodded and agreed with Qin Dong's statement, and his interest was high, so he said: "Lord Qin is already a captain of ten thousand people, and I am just a captain of ten thousand people, everyone is of equal status, you just go out of the city to meet this kind of thing once, there is no need to go out of the city to greet you every time, let's go into the city and talk about it!" ”

Qin Dong hurriedly said: "My lord, I'm afraid I have to wait for a while, that's the case, my people reported that Lord Modo is already on his way to Pazar, I have already sent someone to greet him, I think it won't be long before we arrive here, why don't we take a rest at the gate of this city now, drink some tea and wait for Lord Modo to come, and then we will enter the city together, lest we come out to greet him again after he comes!" ”

"What is he here for? Didn't everyone say that we would discuss it when I returned to Saidica? Lored was a little surprised when he heard Qin Dong's words, if it was said that when Qin Dong was still a commander under Mo Duo in the past, Mo Duo could bring someone over to inspect at any time. But the current situation is different, now Qin Dong and Mo Duo have the same official position and rank, and Mo Duo cannot come to Qin Dong's territory without Qin Dong's consent in advance. If you trespass into someone else's territory without greeting you in advance and without the consent of the owner of the territory, this will be regarded as aggression, regardless of whether the other party has troops or not, you must know that the Huns are people who regard their territory as a forbidden person, and they are not allowed to hunt in other people's territory.

Qin Dong jumped off his horse, walked to Lored's war horse, held the reins, and said, "My lord, please dismount." We sat down at the gate of the city and talked while drinking tea! ”

Seeing Qin Dong like this, Lored knew that Qin Dong had something to say to him alone, so he jumped off his horse and walked with Qin Dong to the city gate and sat down at a small table. This was arranged by Qin Dong a long time ago, and someone next to him immediately poured tea.

After the tea was brewed, Qin Dong waved away the person next to him and said in a low voice, "My lord." Tell the truth. Three days ago, I had sent an army of 2,000 men to raid the territory of Marcus in the southwest, and up to now, the battle had been going smoothly, and Lord Modo may have heard some rumors, so he came over without saying hello this time, I think he came to ask the master to ask for guilt, so I would like to ask your lord to take care of me after Lord Modo comes."

"What? You, you say you've done it? Lored was taken aback. Gee, what are you doing here? Didn't we say that we would discuss the time of the dispatch together when I returned to Saidika? You're clearly digging a hole for Modo by doing this, no wonder he came to you angrily, it's troublesome! ”

"My lord, in fact, I did this for a reason!"

"What is the reason?"

Qin Dong then analyzed the reason for sending troops ahead of schedule with Lored: "My lord, you have been here for a long time, I believe that Enek and the other brothers may have already known the news, can't they guess the purpose of your coming here?" What if they do it to us first? So we have to strike before they react, this is what I thought of later, and there are several other reasons, Marcus is in our southwest, his forces are almost blocked by us from the north, after eliminating him, as long as we block the traffic, it is strictly forbidden for suspicious people to go to the north through our territory, I believe that the news of Marcus's destruction will not spread to the north so quickly for the other three commanders to know, secondly, this is my little selfishness, after all, I have to deal with Marcus and Mordo at the same time, The pressure of fighting on two fronts is too great, so I decided to deal with Marcus as quickly as possible, and then work with Lord Modo to attack the three commanders in the north! ”

After listening to Qin Dong's explanation, Lorid frowned and said, "You owe it to think about it this time, if you discuss it with us in advance, don't we agree?" In this way, Lord Modo can also order the traffic blockade, after all, we are all big people, we must trust each other and cooperate with each other! ”

"Of course, of course, I absolutely agree with that!" Qin Dong hurriedly said: "It's just that your lord, you should also understand that Lord Moduo has been here for so many years, can you guarantee that there are no other princes hiding around him?" If the news leaks out, it will be very detrimental to our plan, so I think it will be worth it to be blamed by Modo-sama in order to succeed this time! ”

Lored thought about it and thought that this was the case, "It's reasonable for you to say that, okay, when Modo comes, I'll tell him!" ”

It didn't take long for a cavalry to march quickly to the south city gate, Qin Dong and Lored got on their horses and went to meet Modo, as soon as Modo and Qin Dong met, they really asked the teacher to ask for the guilt, which made Qin Dong's face extremely ugly, and he could only frequently glance at Lorid and signal him to help speak.

Since Lored promised to help with the situation, he also has the responsibility to let Qin Dong and Mo Duo work closely together to prevent the two from causing discord, so he tried his best to persuade Mo Duo to put the overall situation first, and the news has not yet spread, and those people in the north should not be clear.

Although Lored tried his best to maneuver, Modo did not pursue this matter again, but Modo still had a dislike for Qin Dong, he originally did not agree to hand over Marcus to Qin Dong to deal with, and now Qin Dong attacked Marcus in advance without saying hello, isn't this a clear plan to grab territory?
