Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

"Here, why did the general say that? Although the place is small, it is our precious territory in Goguryeo. It is close to the north of Liaodong City. This kind of land is very beneficial to the military. This shows the sincerity of our country.

Think about it, general, if you are talking about five cities of the same size as mine in Liaodong, it will be difficult for us. We in Koguryo have only ten large cities in total, and it is impossible to lose half of the country for fishing. "

The person on the other side was obviously a talent for eloquence, and he was not at all timid in front of Su Lie. He could not refute with reason and evidence, and quickly took the initiative.

Su Lie smiled slightly, and directly released his own conditions: "Okay, let's take a step back first. Since you mentioned Liaodong City, how about this? We don't want more than one city of Liaodong. Can."

Chapter 480 Useless City (Two in One)

What? ? ?Liaodong City?This is the west gate of my Goguryeo, the first fortress guarding the frontier, how can this be?

The other party didn't expect Datang to dare to speak so loudly, it was obviously insincere.

"We have given the conditions. If you agree or not, you can consider it. Don't be too embarrassing. It's a big deal. Can't you still fish from other places? There is no shortage of this."

Su Lie led the people away with a smile, saying in his heart that the first time he negotiated, his opponent would be defeated, how happy he was!

The envoys of Goguryeo looked at each other, "Zhengshi, what should we do now? Liaodong City is our first fortress to defend the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to have such a big appetite? It is obvious that they are asking for a lot of money and deliberately making things difficult for us, or just forget it. Bar."

The embarrassing expression suddenly relaxed, showing a meaningful expression: "On the contrary, I think the chances of this transaction being negotiated are greater.

You think they are asking for a lot of money, that's because you haven't seen the concubine of the Tang Dynasty negotiate a few years ago, to get our Fuyu City from the rival Lu, and to take [-]% of our treasury's money, then That's really asking a lot. "

"But this time we don't have the grip on each other." Others were puzzled.

"So, we don't have to be afraid of them asking for sky-high prices. It is impossible for Liaodong City to give it to us. They also intend to sell this method to us, so they will definitely retreat. Let's wait and see."

In the same way, Su Dingfang, who went back, also told everyone that the opponent was completely suppressed, and this time he must cut a piece of flesh from the enemy.

"You want to trade with us with useless wasteland bigger than your palm? Goguryeo is black enough." Fang Yiai scolded, "What do you mean the north of Liaodong City is superior? Bah! It is clearly within the control range of Liaodong City, when we all It's a fool."

Su Lie said: "Since the other party is so shameless, let's get stuck in Liaodong City and don't want it anywhere else. Anyway, it's not us who are starving. See if they are willing to cut their flesh?"

"Yes, that's it"

Fang Er agreed.

Du He didn't think so, and raised an objection: "No, Liaodong City is a piece of fat, but eating it may not be of much benefit to us. The other party can retreat a hundred miles, build another city, and pile up new ones. From the perspective of the military position, we are still unprofitable.

Of course, the other party will definitely not give up. After all, redeploying defenses takes time and effort, and they can't afford it. "

"So, you still insist on wanting the other party's Beisha City?

Although this place is not as important as the location of Liaodong City, the other party is not stupid. If it is given to us, Liaodong City will be threatened by Fuyu City in the north, Beisha City in the south, and Yingzhou City in the west. They are definitely not willing to give it to us. "Su Dingfang analyzed.

Du He smiled sinisterly: "Senior brother is right, but since it's a deal, we can take a step back and let them see the benefits.

We won Beisha City, we don't need territory and population, we only need that simple city, and the outside of the city is still theirs.

The reason is that our Datang is going to use Beisha City to open up another trade city, specifically to do business with Goguryeo. If this is the case, the other party will have to think about it.

Firstly, the price we negotiated is low enough, and secondly, Datang specializes in doing business with Goguryeo. "

Regarding Du He's statement, everyone was not sure about it, and what puzzled Su Lie was, what do we need an empty city for such a great effort?Where is it cost-effective to occupy an important military fortress?

In this regard, Du He said that Beisha City is a seaside city. Once a war breaks out in the future, the nearest landing place of the Datang Navy will be here. If it is well controlled, it can catch Goguryeo by surprise.

"Junior Brother Du, although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the Datang Navy is really inferior to Goguryeo in terms of combat effectiveness. Their shipbuilding technology is far superior to ours. Our ships are all small boats used in the river. The largest one It's just that the building boats used by Emperor Daye to go to the south of the Yangtze River were still not as good as the other side's sea boats.

So your idea is probably a mistake. " Su Lie reminded.

Du He laughed loudly and said, "Even Senior Brother, you, the Great Tang General, think so, let alone the rulers and ministers of Goguryeo. It seems that Beisha City can definitely be an important backstop for us."

"How to say?"

"Brother, do you know about the severe drought in Henan Province?"

"Of course, although Fuyu City is remote, the news is not considered closed."

"The life-saving food to solve this severe drought comes from the south of Lingnan, but the ships transporting the food are the Lingnan Navy. Everyone in the world is focusing on the Datang Army, but they don't know that our Lingnan Navy has already walked ahead of all others. people ahead.

Including the Koguryo navy, it is not as good as our Lingnan navy today. "

Hearing Du He's words, Su Lie was dumbfounded, Lingnan Navy?Instead of Datang Navy?

"Where did you know all this?

Wait, you mean, when attacking Goguryeo, the Lingnan Navy can be mobilized to fight northward?How can this be? "

Du He looked around and found that everyone present was his own, so he revealed in a low voice: "To be honest, my brother told me all this, and the Feng family in Lingnan also has an in-law relationship with us, so they know more than others."

Well, if these are from Consort Du, then there is nothing unusual. That person’s energy has surpassed that of the general prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. If he wants, he can launch a war against Goguryeo at any time. There is only one reason. rich.

Facts have proved that what Du He said is correct, Goguryeo and Ben agreed without hesitation, and the two sides hit it off.

From Goguryeo's point of view, even if Beisha City was ceded to Datang, the other party would not be able to accept it, because there was no profit there, and it was under the pressure of heavy soldiers from Liaodong City. It was a completely useless city.

After the negotiation was concluded, Fuyu City sent a letter to Chang'an, reporting the deal with Goguryeo. At least it was an achievement for winning the city. After all, Chang'an should be rewarded, and Goguryeo returned to return with satisfaction.

It’s just that when they grabbed the medicine according to the prescription and couldn’t wait to cut the ice into the net, the fishing effect was not satisfactory. Not to mention compared with Datang’s 10,000+ catty production, it took half a day to catch only a hundred fish.

This kind of effect made the big opponent Lu Yuangaisu furious, and the big Tang side didn't talk about credibility, and even gave a fake fishing method?

So he sent people to Fuyu City to reprimand him. Du He spread his hands and explained that he had no secrets, maybe fishing also depends on luck. It's not bad to have a hundred or ten items, and if you add up a little, it will be of great use.

Of course, he can't tell the other party that if he wants to catch high yields in winter, he must either rely on the experience of veteran fishermen or make nests in advance.

Goguryeo suffered a dumb loss, but this incident spread in the Northeast region. Almost all the small countries in the surrounding area knew about it. The prestige plummeted, which was a windfall that Du He and others did not expect.

What they didn't expect was that after the news was sent back to Chang'an, someone in the imperial court stood up to impeach him, saying that the guard of Fuyu City dared to leak the secret method of fishing in the Tang Dynasty to the enemy country Goguryeo, which was collusion with the enemy.

In the Taiji Hall, at the last great court meeting years ago, all the warriors argued fiercely because of this matter.

Du Shaoqing had just put up a signboard for the medical clinic, preparing to have a rest, and at the same time bring his family to have a good New Year, when Baiqisi arrived on a fast horse and talked about the news from the court.

Du Shaoqing was furious immediately, a group of swindlers who want to control everything they see, won't they let the year pass?

"Daddy, you agreed to take me to the shadow puppet show today. You are not allowed to say that you have something to go out for a while."

Next to him, Xiao Xuanxuan, who was dressed in cotton and fox fur, was sitting on top of the big cat, waiting to set off with eyes full of anticipation. When she saw that her father was busy again, she said dissatisfiedly.

Du Shaoqing's head was full of black lines, and he went forward to rub his daughter's hair and patiently explained: "Xuanxuan is the most obedient, Daddy never lies to you, can I take you there after I come back? Now your grandfather needs me to go there. "

"No, grandpa is such an adult, if you want to see a shadow puppet show, you can go there by yourself, do you need to bring it with you?"

The Baiqisi next to him burst out laughing.

Du Shaoqing said: "It's not about watching shadow puppetry, it's because someone is saying bad things about your third uncle. Daddy has to teach them a lesson. You just go home and wait until daddy comes back and make up a shadow puppet show just for you, okay?"
