The name of this city comes from the fruit sycamore.
Sycamore, not grape.
Nowadays, the pronunciation of the two fruits, apples and grapes, was not the same in the Tang Dynasty, and there was a big gap. These two fruits were both produced in the Western Regions. Of course, whether they are origins cannot be traced and will not be discussed.
What you can know is that both sycamores and grapes are drought-tolerant fruits and can thrive on sandy soil.
Among them, the adaptability of Syzygium is stronger than that of grapes, because this fruit can be grown in most soils, even if it is planted on sandy soil, it can survive and bloom and bear fruit. Syzygium, on the other hand, has two functions when grown in the Western Regions.
.One is to prevent wind and sand, and the other is to satisfy one's hunger.
Rose peach fruit will mature in May and June.
In comparison, grapes are more expensive and more delicious. However, grapes have certain requirements for temperature, light, moisture and soil.
Things are more valuable when they are scarce, and grapes are more expensive than sycamores.
Outside of the city of Sycamore, there is a large lush grove of Sycamore trees. The unripe green fruits on them look very tempting, but they are very astringent when eaten in one bite.
"These rosewood trees are mainly used to solidify the water and soil in preparation for planting grapes. The grape seedlings need to be filled with a lot of water in the early stage to allow them to grow vigorously. During the fruiting period, they cannot be watered too much to avoid damaging the grapes.
Root system. The weird thing is that the root system must be kept moist, and the grape fruits must be exposed to more sunlight. In this way, the mature grapes will be large and sweet.
In addition, this can also prevent grape gray mold and cracking." Tang Shang introduced grapes and sweet apples to Su Lie.
Ashina smiled with Oshe and said, "You know quite a lot."
"When we have many contacts, we can do a lot of business." Tang Shang laughed.
Su Lie looked at the apples the size of a baby's fist, and then at the grape vines coiled around the apple trees, and felt very interesting in his heart.
Although he is in the army, he rarely enjoys pastoral joy now. Maybe he will leave the court in the future and start an orchard by himself?
Just as I was thinking about it, a horse suddenly arrived.
"General, Dayan Mangjiebo has arrived outside the forest."
"Bring him forward."
"yes."
Ashina and Eshe sarcastically said: "Dayan Mangjiebo relied on his own bravery and did many things in the Western Regions to bully the weak with the strong. It is his destiny to have this calamity."
"Yeah." Su Lie snorted lazily.
Hearing Su Lie's indifferent tone, Ashina laughed dryly with Oshe. After working together for the past few days, Ashina knew a little about this Tang general.
He is taciturn, but his words must be meaningful.
Not long after, Dayan Mangjiebo arrived and the two parties began talks.
"Why did you invade our territory without any reason?" Dayan Mangjiebo looked at Su Lie and asked in a deep voice.
Su Lie asked back: "Why did you let people plunder my people and your Majesty's people?"
"I don't!"
"I said you did!" Su Lie said, and the whole place fell silent.
If I say you have it, then you have it, and if you don’t, you still have it!
Dayan Mangjiebo said angrily: "You want to start a war!"
"The war has begun." Su Lie said coldly: "If you dare to offend our country, this is what will happen."
I’m so frustrated, I’m so frustrated that I have nothing to say.
Dayan Mangjiebo wanted to overturn the table, but when he saw Ashina and Eshel, he suddenly lost his confidence. He knew that he was at a disadvantage in this meeting, but he never thought that the Tang people would frame him so forcefully.
"Then how can you retreat?"
"Hand over the murderer." Su Lie said calmly.
"I..." Dayan Mangjiebo really wanted to curse. How did he know who was going to rob the Tang people?
"I'll give you three days to hand over the murderer, otherwise, just wait for death."
After saying that, Su Lie turned around and left with ease and ease, making Dayan Mangjiebo extremely angry.
Being arrogant is too much!
Ashina did not say a word to Eshel, but his appearance as a supporting character is enough to illustrate the attitude of the Western Turks.
Whatever Brother Tang says is whatever he says, I have no objection.
A few days later, Dayan Mangjiebo held his nose and sent a few "murderers". Then Su Lie said they were not these people and asked him to continue looking.
Dayan Mangjiebo wanted to fight at that time, but he thought about his situation and endured it!
A few days later, several more 'murderers' were sent, as well as a large amount of money. Su Lie was relieved this time and returned Qitun to Dayan Mangjiebo, but he did not withdraw his troops, but instead used it to protect Tang Shang.
In the name of stationing outside Qitun.
This made Dayan Mangjiebo very unhappy, but he did not dare to lift the table, so he could only summon troops and horses to prepare for a sudden uprising of the Tang army.
At the same time, an envoy from Liangzhou entered Fuqi City and met with Fu Yun.
In the main hall, when the envoy finished saying that their people were missing in Fuqi City and asked to send troops to search, all the Tuguhun nobles in the hall angrily complained that the envoy did not know whether to live or die.
Even Fu Yun himself was furious.
What does this mean? You don’t take yourself seriously. You disappear when you say you are missing. You search when you say you want to search. You even sent troops to search your own royal city.
Could it be that Tuyuhun was a prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty?
"Did the envoy go too far?" Fu Yun suppressed his anger and asked the envoy.
To be honest, he wanted to ask someone to chop up the Tang envoy, but he knew that he couldn't do it. Once he did, Liangzhou would definitely use this as an excuse to send troops against him.
Tuyuhun cannot fight with the Tang Dynasty, at least not now.
"Is it too much?" the messenger said with a sneer: "It doesn't seem to be the case. As long as we search it and find the person, wouldn't the matter be over?"
He said it very easily, but to Fu Yun it sounded extremely harsh and angry.
Bang!
Fu Yun stood up and said, "Please stop messing around immediately and leave Fuqi City. I can pretend that this didn't happen. Otherwise, I will definitely send someone to Chang'an to tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty about your evil deeds.
, let’s see how you explain it to the emperor!”
The messenger secretly cursed: Fu Yun, Fu Yun, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?
"You really don't want to?"
"Haha." King Tianzhu stood up and sneered: "You want to search our royal city just based on your words. Where does this put the dignity of our country? Fuqi City is the center of our country and the holy city in the hearts of the people of Tuyuhun. How can it be
If your army can enter the investigation, you are provoking me, Tuyuhun!"
"That's right, go back!"
"You bastard, are you trying to trick me into being a nobody in Tuyuhun?"
"Tang Envoy, you have gone too far. Please take back your inappropriate words."
"If the Tang army dares to cross the border even half a step, you will never come back!"
The nobles of Tuyuhun were extremely united at this moment, united as one, and angrily complained that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty did not know whether to live or die.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Fu Yun said at the right time: "Envoy, why don't we send someone to search for you."
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person, we cannot stare at Tang Chao, we should give in when we should.
"No need, since you don't want to, then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, the Tang envoy did not change his expression, but slightly cupped his hands towards Fu Yun, then turned around and walked away.
His movements were free and easy, as if he didn't care. But his attitude made Fu Yun more and more uneasy.
"What do the Tang people want to do?"
King Tianzhu said: "I think that the Tang people are deceiving me, Tuyuhun. If I agree to their request this time, the country will be ruined next time. Khan, you must not agree to them!"
"That's right Khan, you can never agree to the Tang Dynasty."
"We are willing to fight to the death for Khan!"
The ministers were extremely angry and could not bear the humiliation of the Tang people.
Fu Yun was full of doubts. He didn't think that the Tang people came here specifically to humiliate him this time. The Tang people were not that free and not that boring.
They must be trying to do something.
But what do they want to do?
War?
No, if you want to start a war, why use this excuse?
