The wind of sweet potato leaves quietly began to blow in Xiangping and more than ten cities in eastern Liaodong.

In the middle of summer, it intensified, attracting many people to go to the yamen to make inquiries......

Xianbei and other grassland tribes did not commit any crimes with Liaodongqiu and were able to recuperate.

Last year, Tanshi Huai was injured, such a big hatred, such a big injustice, last year may have to recuperate, and there is no way to attack, but this year there is still no action, Gongsun Du is puzzled, greatly puzzled. For this reason, Gongsun Du pondered whether to let the Netherworld out to investigate.

However, at this moment, Buyeo suddenly came.

"Xianbei shouldn't be looking for trouble with Buyeo, right?"

Gongsun Du felt that this possibility was very high, but he didn't know if it was because he knew the news of the alliance between Fuyu and Liaodong, or because it was out of strategic considerations.

In the palace of General Duliao, the envoy of Fuyu came to worship very sincerely: "Meet the king!" ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun Du's eyes narrowed, and his face was solemn.

Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, the envoy of Fuyu was about to speak again, so Gongsun Du took a step forward and said: "Someone, this person is a spy of Fuyu, pull it down and interrogate it, be sure to know his intention." ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Fuyu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "General, it's all a slip of the tongue, it's all a slip of the tongue!" ”

"Slip of the tongue? What about the crooks? ”

Gongsun Du sneered in his heart, but he still stretched out his hand to stop Huang Xu, and then looked at Fuyu Lai.

Fuyu came to make it uncomfortable, but it was obvious that he was at a loss, so he could only say again: "See General Liao, Liaodong Taishou!" ”

After the official meeting again, the envoy said: "This time I came on the order of my king, I came to ask the general for help, and I also asked the general to send troops to rescue for the sake of the two sides being allies." ”

The envoy said his intentions, and then talked about specific things-

"A few days ago, Xianbei suddenly raised an army to attack, and my king was caught off guard, and the loss was close to a large and small tribe, so he was near the left of the royal capital and stopped it. However, Xianbei was powerful, and he divided his troops to attack other tribes, and my king was worried that he would be divided by Xianbei, and he would be defeated and unable to send troops, so he could only gather the various tribes. Just doing this treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but it may be served by Xianbei. ”

"For this reason, my king sent a villain to ask the general for help, hoping that the general can reach out and help Yu!"

After the envoy finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Gongsun Du ignored it, although the envoy of Fuyu was just bowing before, and now it can be said that he is sincere, but he doesn't want to agree.

Cold lips and teeth?

That must really be an ally, not to say that the previous alliance was only temporary, just to say that the alliance itself, Gongsun Du was unwilling, but he didn't want to start another war so he chose to compromise.

Moreover, Fuyu and Lou Ru had also participated in the siege of Liaodong before, and it is conceivable that once the situation changes, they may become enemies again, so it is completely understandable to sit back and watch others die.

These are not the main thing, the main thing is that there is a good saying, when the territory is large, it is difficult to manage!

This problem is particularly obvious when it falls on Xianbei's head. Xianbei has few people, originally because of the wanton expansion, invaded most of the cities in Jiyou and Sanzhou, and divided a lot of soldiers and horses to defend it, and now if you want to kill Fuyu, wouldn't you have to disperse some troops?

Even if it's just that Tan Shihuai learned that Wei Qiutai and others turned their backs on him, he raised an army to exterminate them, and then he was going to destroy them, and even if he didn't destroy it, I'm afraid that Buyeo didn't have much ability to make trouble in the back anymore, which is a good thing compared to Liaodong.

Although he thought so in his heart, it was impossible to refuse directly, and Gongsun Du turned his mind and had a plan.

"To make the will, the general already knew, but there is one thing, maybe the king of Buyeo and the envoy do not know."

"A few years ago, the imperial court sent people to Liaodong, and it is precisely because of this that the general has the official position of General Duliao, and the envoy must also know."

Although the envoy was puzzled, he still nodded, because he had really heard of this matter, and it seemed that it had been passed from Xianbei.

Later, the envoy of the imperial court did not know what was going on, but there was an accident, so that the contact with the imperial court was interrupted for a while. But at the beginning of the year, the imperial court came again, but this time it was not to add officials to the knighthood, but because of the large number of soldiers and horses in Liaodong, it attracted the reprimand of the imperial court. I think that if it weren't for the remoteness of Liaodong and the isolation of Xianbei from it, I'm afraid that the general would not be able to do well, and even so, the general would have to reduce his troops and horses according to the order. So—"

Gongsun Du shook his head and said quite bitterly: "Now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and they can barely defend Liaodong. ”

"Maybe Xianbei just got the news and deliberately let the messenger come, and when the general sent troops to rescue, the leader suddenly came to attack!"

After saying a few words, it was reasonable, and Fuyu opened his mouth, although he knew that Gongsun Du was talking nonsense, but he still couldn't spit out half of the words that begged for each other. After all, you can't point at Gongsun Du and scold - "Hey, what are you talking about? ”

Isn't that looking for death!

Gongsun Du smiled at the bottom of his heart when he saw this, and then he was quite righteous, but he was full of reluctance to say: "However, although we can't send troops to rescue each other, but after all, the two sides are allies, and we can't help it, so I will give two thousand stones of grain and grass and eight hundred pairs of fine leather armor to talk about support, whether it is the messenger to bring it back for his own use, or let Lou Ru, who is ready to support, come by a detour, and then support from behind after it is equipped, it depends on the will of the messenger." How is it? ”

The envoy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought that this time he was going to return in vain, but he didn't expect to be able to catch such a good thing in the end. Forget about the 2,000 stone of grain and grass, how many meals can tens of thousands of people eat? The point is the eight hundred pairs of fine leather armor, which is definitely a good thing.

As everyone knows, Gongsun Du is really heartache in his heart.

"The villain has thanked the general for his great kindness, and when he repells Xianbei this time, he will definitely repay the general's great kindness!"

Anyone can say good things, especially these messengers, who are really powerful.

"The villain wants to return to the royal capital as soon as possible and pass the news to the king, I wonder what the general thinks?"

seems to be saying that he wants to go back as soon as possible, but in fact, he is telling Gongsun Du that I will bring things back to the king.

"The Messenger is indeed faithful! King Wei Qiutai is really lucky to have a subordinate like you! ”

"Don't dare! The general praised it falsely. The messenger was not stunned, and replied very solemnly.

In this way, no matter how heartbroken Gongsun Du was, he could only nod and say: "In this case, the envoy will rest for one night first, and when Ben will mobilize the fine leather armor, it will be handed over to the envoy early tomorrow morning." ”

After a night's time, the envoy could afford to delay, so he replied: "Then there is General Lao." ”

Next.

The anxious Buyeo envoy got up early, and after breakfast, he asked to see Gongsun Du again.

Gongsun Du had already arranged it, and he didn't bother to see him again, so he directly asked people to take the Fuyu envoy to get the things and sent him away.

In this regard, the Buyeo envoy did not mind, or rather, the moment he saw the leather armor, his heart had already flown back to Buyeo with the fine leather armor, but he did not forget to thank Gongsun Du to the soldiers who led the way.

In this regard, Gongsun Du couldn't help but sigh: "It is really not easy to be selected as a messenger!" If this ability to cause an accident is placed two thousand years later, he will be a good talent! Or the kind of talent who can make a fortune! ”

Subsequently, Gongsun Du put his energy on the netherworld and the sweet potatoes in the ground.

After talking to the envoy of Fuyu that day, Gongsun Du thought of a way that could barely judge Xianbei's intentions, and it was precisely because of this that he would generously send it out even in Liaodong, which is a good leather armor, and then that night, Gongsun Du sent the ghost out to Xianbei to inquire about the news.

Midsummer is the harvest season for sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato vines will also begin their final harvest to be used to feed the pigs. Not to mention, with this thing, the pig grew a lot faster and bigger, almost a lap bigger than before.

This made Captain Tuntian, as well as Wei You and Mi Zhu very happy. One is to be better reflected in their responsibilities and be happy, the other is to have more vision for the future, and the other is to be happy that the income is about to increase.

For the sweet potatoes he planted, Gongsun Du personally dug a lot. The size of sweet potatoes can only be regarded as average in later generations, but the number of each nest is very considerable, and the yield per mu may be several points higher than expected.

This made Gongsun Du, who had come to such a conclusion after a simple calculation, very happy, and took a dozen of them home on the spot, ready to taste them first, and also prove to his wife and children the truth of what he said a few months ago.
