Looking at the countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty busy on the lake, the envoy of Goguryeo said to Su Lie, the garrison of Fuyu City, with some disdain, "General Su, if you want to talk about fishing, we Goguryeo dare to be the number one in the world. You Tang Dynasty grow food for a living, and half of our livelihood depends on aquatic products.

But the fishing under the ice is really something that has never been heard and seen. We have also seen you have been busy for a long time. Could it be that everyone will eat the wind and swallow the snow in this ice and snow?"

Su Lie frowned. He had never liked Goguryeo people, but he didn't expect that this time he was still an rude person.

After snorting softly, Su Lie said calmly: "I will not agree with what the envoy said.

You Goguryeo fishing has a set, but if you say you are the number one? Haha, I’m afraid our Tang Dynasty won’t speak out, and your number one is self-proclaimed.”

"Oh? So, General Su doesn't agree? If not, find an opportunity to try it out. Back then, our Gaoguli Navy defeated your Central Plains Sui Navy. Could it be that you will forget it so soon?

Oh... That's right. At General Su's age, I'm afraid you didn't remember anything during the war." The envoy of Goguryeo said dissatisfied.

When the generals of the Tang Dynasty heard the other party's sarcasm, they all glared at each other, and Fang Yiai was about to stand up and draw his sword.

Princess Gaoyang, who was wearing military uniforms and fox fur cloak next to her, held her husband down and smiled and said, "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that you are sitting in a well and watching the sky. I wonder what this envoy of Goguryeo means?"

When the other party saw that it was the Princess of the Tang Dynasty who spoke, he immediately said politely: "I don't know, please ask the princess for advice."

Princess Gao Yang nodded and said, "Well, I want to give you some advice.

I won’t talk about the original allusion. I’m afraid you haven’t learned anything too profound, so I’ll just say the general meaning.

How big is Goguryeo? How much sea area is it?

My Tang Dynasty has a fertile land of thousands of miles. Almost all the coasts in the eastern coast are by the sea. From this Liaodong area to the south, cross Hebei Road, eastern Henan Road, Jiangnan Road, straight to Lingnan, etc. The coastline is as long as the coastline of any state road is enough to be the entire coastline of your Goguryeo.

I explained this, can you understand?"

The man was confused and said in confusion: "This is called a frog in the well? But how do you know? We Goguryeo doesn't have to be weak in the Tang Dynasty. Who can measure how long the coast can't grow? Who knows the true or false?"

Princess Gaoyang patted the armrest and said, "Look, this is called a frog in the well. Sitting in the well, watching the sky is about you. Sitting in the well, I saw that the sky is only as big as the wellhead. You are not a small country at least, but you don't even know how big the world is. I just think that your place is the best in the world? How ridiculous.

Let’s do this. After today, if you have time, I’ll ask someone to take you to the coast of my Tang Dynasty to see the coastline. You don’t need a ruler to measure it. You can get a rough idea by running on a boat. If you can take a round trip in Goguryeo for half a month, it will probably take two months for our Tang Dynasty to sail from north to south."

you……

The envoy of Goguryeo was so ashamed that his face turned red. No matter how stupid he was, he could hear that watching the sky in the well was a derogatory term. However, what he was even more curious about was that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was really so large? Is the strength at sea really that strong?

In ancient times, because there were few world maps, many people were not very clear about the outline of the whole world.

At this time, Du He interrupted and said, "Princess, the visitor is a guest, and we cannot bully the noble envoy of Goguryeo.

Let's do this, since the nobles don't believe that our fishing power is stronger than Goguryeo, then let's compare and take the fishing under the ice today as a bet?"

When the Goguryeo people heard this, they thought that someone from the Tang Dynasty was close to Goguryeo and spoke for themselves. So they browned and nodded and asked, "How to bet?"

"It's very simple, just bet on whether we can catch fish from under the ice.

Before, the noble envoy said fishing in the sea in Goguryeo, etc. Our Tang Dynasty also used fishing on sea boats. This is nothing special and cannot be taller than that.

Today’s envoy said that Goguryeo has not done anything that can fish under the ice. If our Tang Dynasty did it today, would it prove that fishing is better than Goguryeo?"

The man recalled, did he say that? It seems.

"This is unfair. If you catch fish, you will surpass us. If you can't catch fish, can't you tell the difference?"

Du He laughed and said, "Of course not. If fishing is not done today, our Tang Dynasty will automatically admit defeat and recognize the title of Goguryeo's number one fishing in the world. The bet is fair and the old are not deceived. The leaders and envoys of various countries testify. Can the envoys dare to gamble?"

The envoys from several countries next to them all agreed that it was interesting, and the bet was fair, and some even wanted to participate in the bet together.

The envoy of Goguryeo was a little moved, so he asked, "Okay, bet, let's talk about bets."

Du He waved his hand and said, "Don't bet any bets, just bet on the title of the world's number one. After all, we have limited power and are clichéd to bet on gold and silver. If the city belongs to it, we can only gain a foothold in Fuyu City, and we cannot bet on it.

You and I are both representatives of great powers, and it is enough to bet on one leader."

"Okay, just do it like this. I want to see how the Tang Dynasty did things that we, Goguryeo, could not do," the man said disdain.

The Khitan leader next to him mixed up and said, "It's rare to have such an interesting bet. Why not let go and set a lottery. Everyone is involved in the fun? Several generals, please offer a price."

The leader of the Marin also made a gamble, but General Su Lie interrupted: "Everyone, we all came for this winter. A god in our Tang Dynasty calculated that if fishing under the ice in winter for the people to celebrate the New Year, it would help the country's fortune.

Especially the first fish caught in winter is called the head fish. Whoever eats it will enjoy good luck in the next year.

Didn’t you come here just for this? When the big fish comes, you don’t want to get a share of the pie? You should know that luck is something that cannot be bought by money.”

The Khitan leader said vaguely: "Hey, I don't know if I can catch fish yet. If I don't even see a fish hair, wouldn't it be boring for everyone to wait for a day in vain? Just have fun.

Some of our Khitans are cattle and sheep. When we really see fish later, we will have a part of it.”

At this time, Princess Gaoyang scolded Su Lie and said, "General Su, please pay attention to your words. The gods calculated that the head fish caught in winter this year have great luck and must be sent to Chang'an for my father to stutter. How could you share it with others like this?"

hiss……

Everyone heard this. Seeing the princess scolding the generals so solemnly, the fishing this time must be extraordinary.

Su Lie quickly apologized respectfully, "Yes, yes, the princess told her a lesson.

Of course, the generals have good intentions. Our Fuyu City is located in a remote place, and the soldiers have not had enough supplies for the winter. As the generals, the generals of the generals, they naturally have to solve the problems for the soldiers.

The head fish is presented to our most noble Majesty, and the next two and three fish are welcomed. I would like to ask the princess to give kindness to all the leaders present. They are all friendly neighbors of my Tang Dynasty, and giving good luck to friends is also the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty."

Princess Gaoyang sat down with a little dissatisfaction, "The luck of those corners is not enough to be 10% of all, and my father probably won't look down on you. Just as you can remember the duties of the ministers."

The two of them sang together so hard that the envoys around were stunned, and they all developed a strong curiosity about the fish that were still under the ice.

Everyone knows that there are countless capable people in the Tang Dynasty. It is probably very beneficial to a group of fish they value so much. So since they are here, they must not miss it.

But what they mentioned was the headfish? Ninety percent of the benefits were taken by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The remaining 10% were given to us? Tsk tsk...

No matter how these people think, they feel itchy. They know that Su Lie is still in charge of the family, so everyone's eyes when they look at Su Lie are a little hot.

Only the Goguryeo envoy disagreed, and he still didn't think that the Tang Dynasty could fish under the ice.

The envoy Wei of Shi gave a wink at the envoy of Mary, which meant that you were the farthest from the Tang Dynasty, so be tough and give a head start.

The latter understood, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General Su, you can't do this. What you said in your invitation is clear. Everyone is coming for your headfish. Now, you said you gave the headfish to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this tormenting us in vain?"

Su Lie was stunned, and Princess Gaoyang said dissatisfiedly: "What? Are you going to compete with my Emperor of Tang? Su Lie, what do you mean? Do you want to betray your father and become your own?"

"This... the princess forgives her sins, I really don't know." Su Lie apologized with innocent salute.

The envoy of the Marin took out the invitation and asked someone to present it to Princess Gaoyang, "It's not that the country is not ignorant of the ranks of the country, but that's because your country has a first word. This is your invitation. Sending it to us is the service of the letter of the country. You can't go back on your word."

Princess Gaoyang opened it and saw it. Hey, it was really a shared head fish written by him. She threw the invitation directly on Su Lie's face. Princess Gaoyang said furiously: "Su Lie, you are bold! You are colluding with the enemy..."

"Wait a minute, the princess will calm down. This matter has nothing to do with General Su, and it was the agent of the last general." Du He stood up and interrupted.

"General Du? You are the one who collaborated with the enemy?" the princess frowned.

Fang Yiai hurried up to grab Du He: "Brother, you have thought about it, don't talk nonsense."

Du He said respectfully: "I wrote the invitation by hand. I was also inadvertent at that time. I just wanted to show sincerity. I didn't know it was a big deal, so I caused a big mistake. Please punish the princess."

"Okay! Come and take Du He down and send him to Chang'an for his father's treatment." The princess ordered.

Fang Yiai hurriedly went up and grabbed his wife, "Madam, think twice, Qinglian is my good friend, and she has a deep brotherhood. She is just a negligence. If you arrest him, your Majesty will kill him with one knife?

Back then, my brothers who killed chicken heads and burned yellow paper, agreed to live and die together. If he died, he would never live alone for his husband, so he might as well let him go this time.”

this……

The princess pondered.

At this time, the envoys around also understood what happened, and couldn't help but feel good about General Du, thinking that this general seemed to be very friendly to everyone, foreign tribes, and had a strong relationship, and the princess's husband's life and death brother.

So the leader of Shi Wei stood up and said, "Your Highness, even if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is more noble than us, you cannot underestimate us for no reason. You handed us the letter of the country and asked us to separate the fish, but now you deal with the matter in front of us, and you still have to break the contract?

Does this mean that the Tang Dynasty has no faith?”

"you……

Humph, my Tang Dynasty is a great country, so I naturally have faith in my words.

Forget it, you have your share of the headfish.

But Du He is the man..."

Before Princess Gao Yang finished speaking, Fang Yiai had already covered her wife's mouth and whispered: "If you convict my brother, can our couple do it?"

After a few words, they finally persuaded the latter, and almost everyone got what they wanted, and the scene seemed a bit happy.

And all of this was agreed upon by Su Lie and others and played the roles so that everyone who came came believed it without doubt.

Soon, Erhu and others, who had been busy for a long time, finally began to close the net. The huge winch dragged the fishing net little by little. With the experience of the Wei River last time, Erhu used 1,500 strong soldiers this time, which was also very efficient.

When a huge white fish jumped out of the water, the envoy Takayari's heart beat, and the others immediately cheered. Can they really catch fish?

That's the head fish! Oh my God, what a big fish! It's true that it's a head fish with great luck, and you must get it.

"Hey, hey, I'm still closing the net, don't rob, don't rob..."

Seeing that many people rushed to the fishing place, a soldier from the Tang Dynasty hurriedly lined up to block it, but it blocked everyone's bodies, but could not stop their curiosity. The soldiers wanted to see how to catch fish, while the leaders wanted to hold the head fish directly in their arms.

At this time, Su Lie spoke: "Everyone, please be careful, don't be impatient. It takes an hour to close the Internet and let the subordinates deal with it. Everyone has a share. At that time, they will collect the fish and deliver it to us."

"General Su, bring the fish first, let's share the food on the spot." The Khitan envoy said anxiously.

"Yes, it's hot while it's hot...it's not delicious when it's cold." Envoy Wei of Shi agreed.

...

Su Lie felt it was so irritating to the eyes. Have you ever heard of fishing while it is hot, and putting fish scales on the mouth?

Princess Gaoyang said in an atmosphere: "No, the god said, this fish is auspicious. Didn't you see it being sent out of the water by yourself?

So there is no harm, and you have to eat one person. In the world, only my father is qualified.”

"Princess, you said before that we are qualified to share." Everyone was displeased.

Su Lie also persuaded: "Yes, princess, we can't go back on our word, you can represent the face of the Tang Dynasty."

Du He whispered: "I have an idea, I don't know if you want to listen."

"Okay, General Du is fair, speak quickly." The leader of the Marin urged.

"Wait, before that, let's deal with a serious matter first, Goguryeo, our bet has been decided, what do you think? Should we fulfill it?" Su Lie waved his hand and said.

you……
