"Yo hehe~"

Syllable~

With a whistle, mixed with the sound of a whip, a large herd of cattle and sheep sped forward on the snowy field. You don't have to think about running, if you don't have a cow in front of you, you can't walk. This is also one of the valuable experiences passed down from the ancestors of the grassland peoples, allowing them to migrate even in winter. (Well, as for how people drive cattle and sheep, let's think that's the case, cough cough, don't scold me~)

Maruto Castle West.

Gongsun Du was several miles away, silently watching Marudu.

Pill capital, the royal capital of Goguryeo, the visual inspection of the city is about five zhang high, the west city gate is one, about three zhang wide and four zhang high, the other three sides, think about it, it is almost the same, than Luoyang and other imperial capitals that are definitely far worse, but it can be regarded as barely in line with the identity of the small clan royal capital of Goguryeo.

"Attack now, or wait?"

Gongsun Du was very conflicted in his heart, the terrain of the pill capital was simpler than that of the Susheng Bone City, and the surrounding area could be described as a flat river, so even if it was covered by a white cloak, he didn't dare to get too close at the risk of being discovered. Unless it is in the middle of the night, go to the city gate to ambush a hundred feet away, but the weather is too cold, and it is easy to be frozen if the ambush time is too long, and it is likely that before the attack is launched, it will be frozen to lose most of its combat power, and it is not impossible to even freeze to death.

"The only hope now is that there are fewer defenders in Maruto."

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Du shook his head. According to the news before the heavy snowfall, there were more than 100,000 people in Marudu, of which about 30,000 were in control of the strings, and the strength was the highest in Goguryeo. At this time, it is unlikely that the defenders in the city will be reduced, and even some small tribes in the surrounding areas will move to the city for the winter, and the defenders and population will be greatly increased.

"Alright! Think too much. ”

"Let's take a look, if it's really not appropriate to attack the pill capital, then attack the various tribes! Who told you to have two cities, hehe! At the end, a sneer appeared on the corner of Gongsun Du's mouth.

Attacking Marundu is of strategic significance, even if it can't be taken, as long as it can be broken, it will be a great blow to Goguryeo; If it was to attack other tribes, it would be more direct and the most realistic, and it could reduce the strength of Goguryeo, and even cause civil strife, etc. If the degree of weakening is large enough, Goguryeo's own situation may not be good, and it will not cause Buyeo and Lou Ru to covet it and be beaten miserably.

These are the two paths that have been set a long time ago, but Gongsun Du is more inclined to attack the pill capital, so he first attacked the Pills Bone City, and then peeped into the pill capital.

However, Gongsun Du is not a reckless person, especially after attacking Susheng Bone City, although he did not let go of anyone at that time, but he must not be able to hide it for long, once his whereabouts are exposed, the purpose of this expedition will not be beaten, it can be regarded as a failure.

"Wait another day, if it'......"

"Good news, my lord!"

"Good news?" Gongsun Du was very surprised, "What good news?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates found an old man over there."

"Old man? The good news is the old man? "Gongsun Du is so angry that he is angry, the old man has something to do with the good news?

Naturally, there is!

"Yes, that old man is driving more than a thousand cattle and sheep to this side, and it seems that he is going to enter the pill capital." Tanqi didn't know if it was good news, so he asked, "Lord, is this good news?" ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Du was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, "Count, how can it not be counted, of course it must be counted, it must be counted, if anyone says that it is not counted, he is in a hurry." ”

Puff~

Huang Qing, who was on the side, immediately laughed when he heard this.

Gongsun Du rolled his eyes and looked over, and Huang Qing hurriedly explained: "Lord, my subordinates are not ......"

Gongsun Du waved his hand, didn't listen to her explanation, but looked at Tanqi and said, "That...... Forehead...... How far is the old man from here? ”

"It's about twenty miles, maybe it's like being able to get to the pill capital when it's dark." Tanqi seemed to have expected it and replied without hesitation.

"Hmm!" Gongsun Du nodded, and immediately looked at Huang Qingdao, "Dancing butterflies!" ”

"Hmm." Huang Qing was a little embarrassed, her mind didn't belong, and when she heard someone calling herself, she subconsciously responded, and immediately came back to her senses, "Your subordinates are here!" ”

"I'll leave this matter to you, I hope I can take it down without alarming anyone." Gongsun Du said with an unchanged face.

"Yes, my lord."

Gongsun Du watched Huang Qing leave, then glanced at the pill capital, and said with a smile in his heart: King of Goguryeo? I'm sorry, I'm going to take a day trip to the king's capital, and if you want to blame it, you will be blamed for your bad luck! However, I hope you're a little unlucky, and it's better if you just happen to be bumped into by me and lose your life! Hey!

Catching an old man is naturally very simple, Huang Qing took someone up, and it didn't take any effort to catch it directly, and then let people take it to Gongsun Du. However, Huang Qing did not come back, which caused Gongsun Du to be quite curious, and after asking, he learned that the people were caught, but the cattle and sheep were almost turned upside down, and Huang Qing had to stay in place to guard the cattle and sheep.

"Did you guess what so-and-so had in mind?" Gongsun Du couldn't help but say secretly.

However, thinking about it like this, Gongsun Du didn't take it to heart, but set his eyes on the old man in front of him, who was not dressed too thickly and looked quite nervous.

"Can you understand what so-and-so is saying?"

Gongsun Du asked casually, not wanting the old man to nod, but he didn't reply.

Gongsun Du understood that he could understand, but he couldn't speak, so he smiled and said, "It's good to understand." ”

"I don't know how your life is now, at least you need to drive the cattle and sheep to the pill capital to see, at least it's not very good, you can't live in the city. Perhaps, you don't care about it yourself, but you also have a wife and children, right? Besides, you think you have grandchildren or something at your age, right? ”

Xu is Gongsun Du's smile infected the old man, maybe he was telling the truth, the tension on his face disappeared, and he nodded calmly.

"Then have you ever thought about changing to a better life, at least not like now, on a cold day, you still need to run around, and the life of your wife, children, and grandchildren is not guaranteed, right?"

Gongsun Du said in a rather seductive tone: "You know, the people of Liaodong have their own houses, and there is no need to worry about wild beasts and the like, and this weather is much better in Liaodong, every family has a kang, and it is warm when you sleep at night, so you don't have to worry about being cold at all." ”

The old man's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but chatter, and his hands and feet kept gesturing.

Gongsun Du understood at a glance and said, "Is there a need to lie to you?" What's no good in lying to you, is it!? ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du spread his hands, but it was not actually like he said, otherwise why would he bewitch others?

"As long as you want, your family, and even if you are a tribe, as long as you want, you can move to Liaodong, and everyone is guaranteed to have a house to live in, whether you want to farm or continue to graze, you can!"

Gongsun Du's fox tail was finally revealed, and there are indeed a lot of talents in Liaodong, but when it comes to raising livestock, it is definitely very few. Especially for cattle, horses and sheep, all ethnic groups in the grassland really have incomparable advantages. Just look at this old man can catch up with thousands of cattle and sheep alone, maybe because of the weather, but it is definitely more that the old man has his own stunts, if he can recruit him, the meat of Liaodong will be guaranteed in the future!

Moreover, Gongsun Du thought even further, if this happened today, whether the old man was just a family, or a small tribe or something, the big tribe would definitely not be able to be near Marudu, and Gongsun Du didn't believe that the king of Goguryeo would rest assured that there was a threat around him. In the end, it will definitely be a big profit, as long as this matter is spread in the grassland, when the foreign races are conquered in the future, it will definitely not be resisted.

This has to say that although the alien races always plunder the Han realm, they are all very envious of the Han people, because food and clothing are much more secure, but they are only ...... because of all kinds of helplessness

Hey, don't mention it!

In a word, the less resistance there is, the less damage there will be. At the same time, it can better bring these people under the rule, maybe many people will turn to farming, but I think most people still think about ancestral business, raising cattle, horses and sheep. This is what Gongsun Du wants to achieve the most.

As long as there are enough cattle, horses and sheep, Gongsun Du believes that the strength of Liaodong will be greatly improved, and this is without increasing the number of troops. Compared with a soldier who can only eat enough all year round and has an average body, and a soldier who has meat to eat all the year round and has a strong body, everyone knows which is more powerful.

And most importantly – night blindness!

Why are there so few nights/battles in the era of cold weapons? Difficult to attack, but also difficult to defend?

Without him, night blindness! You can't even see the road clearly, and you're spanking a fart! Don't go back to the goal, and then one accidentally falls on the road and gets a bruised nose and swollen face, or even breaks an arm and a leg.

Meat is one of the big influences.

Originally, Gongsun Du could only encourage the people to raise poultry and eat their livers to improve. But poultry can have a big liver, and cattle and sheep are different. It's just that the Han people are really not very good at grazing, and they don't have that idleness. Now that he has encountered such an opportunity, Gongsun Du naturally doesn't want to miss it.

It's just that the old man was obviously a little hesitant, somewhat still a little scared, and didn't agree.

Seeing this, Gongsun Du was ruthless, and said: "I'm afraid it won't work if you don't agree, I plan to use your cattle and sheep to attack the pill capital, so if you don't want to die, let's follow me and go to Liaodong to live!" ”

The old man was very excited after hearing this, but Gongsun Du was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and with a wave of his hand, he asked people to take him down, and then ordered Huang Qing to personally lead people to follow the old man to their house, or tribe, and bring people to Susheng Bone City, and after this battle, they would return to Liaodong together.

Huang Qing disagreed when she got the order, as the captain of the pro-soldiers, she had the duty to protect Gongsun Du and could not leave without permission. But under Gongsun Du's compulsory order, he could only agree.

It's just that Gongsun Du felt a headache next, because of thousands of cattle and sheep, one person really couldn't catch it. However, it also made Gongsun Du realize that the old man was indeed powerful, he was a talent, and he would definitely not lose money when he brought it back to Liaodong, but made a lot of money.
