Building roads has its own benefits, and everyone knows it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info When the benefits are greater than the harms, Yanbei is not a person who spares money.

It took a year to build two or three hundred miles of roads, from Liaoshui to Goguryeo, and the soldiers and horses of several large garrisons could arrive morning and evening, and no matter what unexpected circumstances were encountered, they could ensure the safety of the county.

After agreeing on the matter of building the stone road in the coming year, it happened that Yanbei had not been depressed for a few days, so the two lit a stove in the greenhouse of the official office, and a pot of new warm vegetarian wine, and talked about the general trend of the world and various rumors in the county in the future, which was also very interesting.

Don't be frustrated, Yanbei didn't stay idle for too long, and returned to the county mansion...... Zhao Weisun, the commander of the Liyang battalion stationed at the border, sent a horseman Pegasus to deliver a message, and the king of Goguryeo sent an envoy to lead four high-ranking officials, including Taishou and the general, and hundreds of relatives brought gifts to request to enter Liaodong County to congratulate Yanbei, the general of Duliao, who was about to get married.

Goguryeo's right assistant was equivalent to one of the two prime ministers, plus the supreme administrative official Taishou and the general in charge of military affairs, and the congratulatory procession sent by this neighboring country of Dongyi was not unluxurious.

Such a group of people, Yanbei wants to meet no matter what.

When the Goguryeo envoys set foot on the land of Liaodong County, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the cold west wind blew people to the ground, and the official roads in the county were even more criticized by them...... Right Fuxiang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and scolded without any image, his car was stuck on the frozen road and the wheels were broken, and he was still not warm in the cold wind wrapped in his robe, so he could only huddle with his arms and huddle in the wall of guards and march hard.

They cursed the ghost weather and bad road surface in Liaodong County thousands of times in their hearts.

With this unrested official road alone, Liaodong County can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack for them!

Yan Bei naturally didn't know about their slander, although he decided to receive this festival, but he hadn't yet figured out what kind of attitude he wanted to talk to them. In Guo Jia's house in Duowenli, Yanbei got four words.

Guo Fengxiao's advice to him was to show weakness to the enemy.

Since coming to Liaodong, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Xun Yue and other Central Plains guests have stayed in Duowenli and have not come out of the gate, and the news has been passed on by the riders assigned to these staff members by Yanbei. First, the weather is very cold, and even if these Central Plains scholars are wrapped tightly, they can't bear the cold here far beyond their hometown; Second, everyone was full of energy, and their riders traveled back and forth between the county and Duowenli again and again, and learned about this land unknown to them by the matters recorded in the book.

If you don't understand the actual situation, no matter how clever a strategist is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The situation in Liaodong County is no less complicated than any other place in the Central Plains, and even more so because of the neighboring Dongyi and the Hu and Han people living in the county.

Show the enemy weak.

Yan Bei chewed on these four words repeatedly, with an indescribable smile on his face.

Guo Jia's suggestion is in line with Yanbei's usual cunning towards the enemy, but Yanbei only intends to confuse the public, as for showing weakness?

"The envoys of the Eastern Kingdom braved the wind and snow all the way to come all the way, and it was really hard." Yanbei sat on the top of the gloomy cheeks like a majestic sculpture, and opened his mouth to the Goguryeo envoys, leading the Goguryeo group to take a seat, and then said: "Our county has prepared warm soup and thin wine to entertain all the envoys. ”

They respect etiquette and righteousness, although Goguryeo is Dongyi, but there is a prime minister among its envoys, at least the status is not lower than that of the Liaodong Taishou, even if the top and bottom of Liaodong County do not like Goguryeo, but it is not a reason to snub its right assistant.

Goguryeo's right assistant is an old man, holding his beard and smiling kindly, and only then did he bow his hand and say to Fu: "Your Excellency must be Liaodong Taishou Gong, right?" The Minor Foreign Ministers in the East often hear the praise of your Excellency at home. ”

After that, he walked out of the couch tremblingly, stood in the hall and arched his hand to Yan Bei, who was high above: "General Yan, the little foreign minister is here to hear about the general's wedding, and he was ordered by the king to present a congratulatory gift to the general, and to show the good intentions of the friends and the state for eternity." ”

Goguryeo Wang Bogu's mind was indeed meticulous, Yan Bei looked at the right assistant who was full of silver threads and smiled, and he couldn't sneer at all, and most of the originally prepared rhetoric was chaotic, but he was puzzled: "Congratulatory gift? ”

Xiang Jia smiled, hurriedly looked back at the attaché who came with him to make a gesture, and then arched his hand to Yan Bei and said: "Yes, back to the general's words, my king offered fifty sea pearls, thirty horses, a thousand five-color silk scarves, and two famous dogs in the country for the general, and I hope the general will smile." ”

To tell the truth, this gift is not light, Goguryeo is famous for producing sea pearls all over the world, and their horses are also good products in the first Han Dynasty, and silk scarves are the best goods in silk fabrics, and the price in Shanggu City has always been high.

But Yanbei was only interested in the two famous dogs in the country, showed a happy look and clapped his hands, leaned forward and said, "Goguryeo famous dogs? Please also ask the right assistant to take it with you, can you? ”

The reason why Yanbei showed such a look, on the one hand, is that he is really interested in dogs, Zhen Jiang is not as peaceful as ordinary daughters, and likes to shoot and hunt the most. On the other hand, it was he who stubbornly believed that the Goguryeo dog was a metaphorical symbol, so he wanted to take a look at these two guys that his Daisuke called the famous dogs of the country.

Seeing Yan Bei's obviously interested look, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. In fact, when he saw Yanbei for the first time, his heavy mood on the road was relieved...... He came this time to be entrusted by his king to stabilize Yanbei and Liaodong County under his command. It was not because Goguryeo was afraid of Yanbei, but because the threat of Goguryeo from the north was greater than that of Liaodong...... This time, he came to wipe his ass for Yi Yinmo's self-righteousness.

No matter how many rumors there are about Yanbei in the country, he still believes that seeing is believing, and although this young man with a beard on his chin is in a high position, his words still reveal his youthful heart...... In the sum up, Yan Bei is at best the same as Yi Yinmo, and there is no insight.

Stabilize Yanbei with gifts first, and wait for next year and the year after tomorrow to free up your hands and raze Liaodong!

Not long after, the servants of Goguryeo came forward with two puppies with slender limbs, and the two puppies who had just reached the full moon had round eyes and looked curiously to the left and right, looking a little timid.

However, Yan Bei likes it very much, the two little dogs, one white and one black, are cute, Yan Bei almost decided in his heart that Zhen Jiang will definitely like these two little guys!

Looking at it from a distance, Yanbei didn't mean to take the two dogs to his side to play, so he ordered his soldiers to take the two dogs out, and then said to Goguryeo's right assistant with a pleasant face: "Right assistant has worked hard...... However, Yan doesn't quite understand, hasn't your country already sent a congratulatory gift to Yan? ”

"Sending a congratulatory gift?" Seeing that Yan Bei's face was no longer gloomy, he was in a relaxed mood, and after returning to the case, he arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what the general is referring to?" ”

Yan Bei glanced at Lu Yi beside him, and Lu Yi immediately understood: "My general has just set up a marriage in Layue, and your soldiers killed and injured more than 100 of my soldiers on the bank of the Daliang River, isn't this a congratulatory gift from your new king to our general?" Those dozens of heads! ”

"General Mingjian, that's not my king's intention, it's those soldiers who started the border provocation on their own initiative!"

Yan Bei was silent, the eyes of the koji Yi under his head rolled, and he patted the case and got up.

"What a self-inflicted claim, so those garrisons are guilty?" Lu Yi stepped out, very arrogant to Goguryeo's right assistant, without looking at the face of the add, and arched his hand to Yan Bei: "General, you should not have punished your subordinates before!" ”

Before the words fell, Lu Yi turned his head to Xiang Jia and said: "Now Koji also makes his own decision and sends 700 ears to the king of the eastern kingdom, I don't know if your king is still satisfied with this congratulatory gift?" ”

"Koji sent someone to give gifts, and the general of the era said, if you cross the border in Goguryeo, you still come and kill you, isn't your old man too long?"

Yan Bei almost laughed out loud at the top of the head, Lu Yi still doesn't have a good face for his colleagues in the army, and he looks at this and that uncomfortable all day long, not to mention being ordered to block the Goguryeo envoys, Lu Yi will naturally be handy!

Xiang Jiagui is the head of a country, born in a noble, although Goguryeo is not very peaceful, but when has he been so criticized, his face immediately turned pale with anger, and he simply ignored Lu Yi and asked directly to Yanbei: "General, although our country is small, can we let it be insulted?" The old man came to congratulate the general with kindness, is this the general's hospitality? ”

"Daisuke, don't be impatient, Koji Yoshi!" Yan Bei got up and said angrily to Lu Yi: "How can you be so domineering? ”

"Humph!"

Yan Beibei just took the case and scolded him, how did he know that Lu Yi didn't look at him, tilted his head and glanced at Xiang Jia, shook his hand and strode out of the county mansion, leaving Yan Bei to shout and scold in the hall.

"It's really embarrassing today, Daisuke rest assured, Yan has no hostility towards his neighbors." Yan Bei's face was pale, and he got up with a smile and bowed his hand to Xiangjia, and then said to him apologetically: "Yan accepted the gift, but the county is only afraid that it will not be stable recently, so he will not leave more envoys, please return to the country as soon as possible to show Yan's goodwill to the new king, and hope that the border of Hangao will be peaceful." ”

He thought that he saw a beautiful scene of discord between the princes and the ministers, so he was naturally happy, but after saying goodbye to Yanbei, he returned to the post house outside the city, and he no longer saw that smiling face on his face, and wrote down the situation in Liaodong County...... The frustration of abiding by etiquette, the greedy pleasure of Yanbei, and the arrogant and domineering Lu Yi made up all his understanding of Liaodong County.

Such a border county of neighboring countries is probably the most suitable for the needs of Goguryeo.

It's just that he didn't know that after he returned to the post house, Yanbei and Lu Yi drank around the charcoal brazier in the manor outside the city, and kept praising the tacit understanding between the two.

"They sent those two hounds, Yan has sent someone to give them to Ah Miao, I have already named them, you might guess?"

Lu Yi drank it with a wine bowl, and the liquor entered his stomach like a sharp knife scraping his throat, and the indescribable double opening made him shake his head.

"The white one is called Goguryeo Hou, and the black one is called Xia Juli Hou!"
