Several other people were curious, could it be that you still have a secret trick?

Du He didn't hold back anymore, and took out a piece of data and said: "According to our team's investigation of Goguryeo for more than a year, we found that they are really poor. It's a world of ice and snow, it's difficult for them to farm, and the people's life is very difficult.

Aquatic products such as fish and shrimp in the sea accounted for almost [-]% of their rations. The people in the inland lived on coarse grains, wild vegetables and moldy dried fish all day long. If it was not possible to plunder some resources from other tribes, Goguryeo would not There may be an opportunity to grow. "

"It's true that they are poor, but they can still survive and develop, and they have been confronting us in the Central Plains for so many years.

Even if there is no way to fish in winter, their people will not starve to death, so they will not abandon the city for a dispensable thing. Goguryeo also has capable people who know that the hearts of the people cannot be lost. "Su Lie analyzed.

Du He laughed loudly, "That's right, it's precisely because they have a capable person, so I guess this person must not be far behind, and will be tempted by our fishing methods.

Because if you want to be more powerful, you must have enough food for the people. If you can feed the people for the New Year in winter, then Goguryeo can free up a lot of benefits to raise soldiers and strengthen the national power, and it will become stronger faster.

The temptation of a net of 10,000+ catties, and a fleet of them went out to sea for fishing, and some of them will definitely be tempted. "

This one

After pondering for a moment, Su Lie nodded and said: "I hope you are right, maybe three or five cities are a bit too much, how big is their territory? They can't get it out."

Fang Yiai said: "How could it be? Master has taught that Goguryeo has a population of several million. There are many large and small cities. It is not a problem to allocate a few small towns at random.

As a result, they shoddy, and we seem to be suffering. "

"That's right, Yiai, you're enlightened too." Du He patted Fang Yiai's shoulder and praised, "So, I didn't plan to ask for so many from the beginning, I only want them as a city.

But negotiation is a sale, if the asking price is not higher, how can there be room for the other party to counter-offer?

In the end, if they compromise a city, I think, at this time they give us a few dead towns that are not popular, we will not recognize it. "

"Hey, good boy, I can't tell, but you have the mind of a profiteer." Su Lie praised.

"That's right, that's right, Qinglian's face of a profiteer is exactly the same as Chang'an's elder brother Du Shaoqing, he is indeed a real brother." Fang Yiai echoed.

Du He begged for forgiveness: "It's all right, you are careless in making friends, are you two praising me or hurting me?

It's better to study it quickly, which city is suitable for us to ask the other party. "

In the Goguryeo royal city, Yuan Gaisu listened to the envoy's detailed report, fishing under the ice in winter?10,000+ catties in one net?Who?

Kicking his subordinates to the ground, Yuan Gaisu scolded: "Trash, you must be the one who suffered from others in Fuyu City and dared not report it publicly. You came up with such a pretense to deceive me. Come here and drag me out!" beat!"

"To Lu, I dare not lie to my subordinates even if I have a hundred guts. Everyone has seen this with their own eyes. If you don't believe me, you can ask all the people in the same industry. Those 10,000+ catties of fish have piled up into mountains. Is it true? They caught it in one day." The man cried while hugging Yuan Gaisu's leg.

Soon the servants found out that everything was true!

At this moment Yuan Gaisu felt a turmoil in his heart, how could this be possible?Could it be God bless Datang?God favored?But they are not short of food and drink. Why doesn't God take care of a small and poor country like Goguryeo?

"If I, Goguryeo, can have such a fishing method with a net of [-] catties, why worry about the national strength?" Yuan Gaisu murmured.

The envoy who was kneeling on the ground shouted after hearing it: "Your subordinate, your subordinate knows how they fish."

"What? Seriously? If you can really catch [-] catties with one net, no, even if it's only [-] catties, I'll give you three ranks." Yuan Gaisu grabbed the other party's collar excitedly.

The man's face froze, then he shook his head guiltily and said, "They said it was a secret method passed down by the gods and men, and they refused to pass it on to the outside world."

With a bang, the person was kicked out again.

"Trash! What do you need?"

"But they offered to exchange it. The subordinate wanted to spend money to buy it. Who knows later?"

Um?Why didn't you say it earlier?Mother-in-law, can't you finish it in one breath?Yuan Gaisu suppressed his anger and scolded.

That person was about to cry, thinking that you didn't give him a chance, he would hit you if he said something wrong, and if you kicked him twice, his life would probably be gone.

Kneeling back on purpose, this person had the courage to tell the conditions of the other party's request for the city.

However, the scene where Da was furious at Lu did not happen in the prediction. Instead, he fell into deep thought and started pacing back and forth.

Yuan Gai Su Xin said, Datang is really shrewd, I'm afraid I knew this method a long time ago, I need it in Goguryeo, hmph, what about winter catching ceremony?Now it seems that it is clear that they are plotting against Goguryeo and are coming for me.

But what if you figured it out?This is Du Shaoqing's conspiracy. No matter what the conspiracy is, just talking about the fishing skills is definitely a temptation that Goguryeo cannot refuse.

Although winter fishing seems to be laborious, it is still much more convenient than fishing in the sea. After all, not everyone has the ability to go fishing in the sea, and it requires shipbuilding and other conditions to go to sea. Fishing on the sea is too difficult, and it is not necessarily Can guarantee harvest.

But the lake in the land is different. It can be said that as long as there is water, you can fish. After all, no matter how big the lake is, there is a limit, not like the endless sea.

"Come here, take the whole map of the country."

What? ? ?

The envoy below was dumbfounded, "Dear Lu, you, you don't really want to exchange the city for a dispensable fishing method, do you? Think twice, Lu!"

"Is it necessary or not? You don't understand. Datang has this method, which is just icing on the cake, but if it is in the hands of my Goguryeo, it will be even more powerful. With this method, our people will have another source of survival. In the long run, with the accumulation of national power, sooner or later it will be able to catch up with Datang.

So a mere city is worth it. "Yuan Gaisu looked confident.

"But they don't just want one, they want three or five. We have a small land and a lot of people, and it's not good for the country to divide up so much land."

Hearing such loyal advice from his subordinates, Yuan Gaisu nodded in satisfaction, and personally stepped forward to help him up and gave him a seat.

"You're right, so I didn't plan to give them that many at all, just one at most."

"Will they agree? People in Fuyu City don't seem to be very talkative."

Yuan Gaisu smiled, "Negotiation between two countries is like doing business, there must always be a bargainer. This is what I learned from the Prince Du of the Tang Dynasty, and now it is just applied to their Datang people."

Afterwards, Yuan Gaisu summoned his important ministers to discuss the matter of changing the city and sending an envoy. At first, most of them opposed it, but they were all persuaded by Yuan Gaisu, and he quickly finalized everything and sent someone to go on an envoy.

In Fuyu City, everyone did not expect that the other party came back so quickly, as if he was very anxious to get some treasure. Hearing that he was here for negotiation, Su Dingfang and others looked at Du He with admiration. This kid grew up fast enough. allow.

The two countries were negotiating, and the other party came with a high official position, but Datang was a small city guard general. Su Lie expressed that there was a lot of pressure.

It’s not that I’m afraid of anything, the key is that I don’t have a credential or anything, and I haven’t asked the emperor for instructions. I’m not qualified to negotiate with Goguryeo on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is to move people's heads.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the officials of the frontiers and the prime ministers of the court are qualified to negotiate on behalf of the country on an impromptu basis without the authorization of the emperor. Other than that, this is why the three expeditions to Goguryeo failed in the previous Sui Dynasty.

It is because when the frontline is in full swing, the enemy announces peace talks and surrenders. At this time, the emperor is in the rear, and the frontline generals are not qualified to negotiate peace with the opponent, so they can only suspend the report. , was dragged out of the three campaigns by the enemy and failed.

However, the situation in Fuyu City is special now. Firstly, the things in this transaction belong to the invention of the Du family, and there is room for maneuver when reporting to the court in the future. Secondly, there is also a noble princess in the city. Being able to take responsibility as a prince who bears the emperor's order, so after a group of people in Fuyu City discussed it, they had the courage to do it.

The carefree Gao Yang even went to negotiate in person, threatening to bear everything by himself, presumably no one in the court would be bored enough to play a woman.

In the end, Su Lie went, because he let a woman show his face in fear of being ridiculed by others in the Tang Dynasty. After all, in this era, women are not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

When he saw the conditions of the national letter handed over by Goguryeo, Su Dingfang cursed secretly. He was extremely shameless. Sure enough, the brothers expected that Goguryeo really offered five small, ant-like cities in exchange?Where is the city?It is simply a town, no, a market, not much bigger than the villages around Chang'an.

Throwing the other party's credentials to the ground, Su Lie said angrily: "Since there is no sincerity, why bother? Using these five small villages to fool our Tang Dynasty? Are you stupid? Or am I stupid?"
