Lin Feng and Tadun turned their heads and looked to the side. Unexpectedly, there was a scribe in Tsing Yi beside Tadun.
This man was about thirty years old, his face was pale, and his face was cracked by the wind and sand on the grassland. He was obviously not an indigenous person who grew up in the grassland.
Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Your Highness, who is this?"
The scribe raised his head proudly and said to Lin Feng with his chin: "A certain person is Guo Tuguo Gongze, the Shaofu under the rule of the Bohai Governor. I have met Mr. Lin Pingyuan."
Lin Feng was suddenly shocked. Why did Yuan Shao's men come to the grassland?
Tadun smiled and said: "My good friend, Mr. Guo Tu came to the grassland a few days ago to discuss with me the exchange of trade routes, and also advised me not to easily raise troops to fight against the Southern Huns. I only regretted that I didn't listen to my husband's words.
There was an ambush and attack the day before yesterday and they were defeated."
Lin Feng nodded.
Historically, Yuan Shao had four major conspirators around him: Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji. In addition to these three people, there were also three famous scammers, namely Xu You, Guo Tu, and Chunyu Qiong.
Xu You was arrested by the trial police because of his family's corruption crimes. He abandoned Yuan Shao in anger and offered Cao Cao a plan to burn down Wuchao, turning Yuan Shao into the most stupid dog in history.
Guo Tu encouraged Yuan Shao to attack Cao Ying with all his strength, which resulted in the fall of Wuchao, which became a turning point in the Battle of Guandu. In addition, Guo Tu also blamed Zhang He and Gao Lan for the defeat after his plan failed, causing them to surrender to Cao Cao.
As a result, the Jizhou Army lost its last two pillars.
Needless to say, Chunyu Qiong's dereliction of duty allowed Cao Cao to successfully attack Wuchao, leaving Yuan Shao in ruins.
Among the three major scammers, it seems that Guo Tu has the strongest assist against Cao Cao, but this is not actually the case.
Guo Tu himself is not bad at strategy, but his tactics are too dangerous, and he likes to form political parties to seek common interests and oppose differences. However, his loyalty to Yuan Shao is unquestionable.
After Yuan Shao's death, Guo Tu tried his best to protect Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan. Finally, after Yuan Tan's defeat, he vowed not to surrender to Cao Cao and went to the execution ground with a big smile. In the end, he lived up to Yuan Shao's promotion and trust.
Even though Guo Tu looked like he was the boss in heaven, Yuan Lao was second, and Guo Laozi was third, Lin Feng actually didn't have any ill feelings towards him.
"Mr. Guo, I wonder where the ridiculous statement you just said came from?"
Why did you say I was wrong just now?
"Even though Mr. Lin is brave and invincible among the three armies, compared with my lord, he is far inferior. The difference cannot be measured by a thousand miles."
Guo Tu's words made Lin Feng almost laugh out loud.
Does it mean anything more than this?
For the grassland people, they don't care who has a noble family and who can be famous all over the world. They only care about whose arms are thick and whose fists are big. If you win them over, they will treat you as a friend. If you don't, they will treat you as a fat sheep.
, that’s all.
There is no way, the weather on the grassland is too bad, spring, summer and autumn are not bad, but the weather on the grassland in winter
Without edible wild fruits and grasses, various animals have hid for the winter, and they can only reluctantly slaughter their own grazing cattle and sheep for food.
Once the winter is particularly long in a certain year, the grassland tribes have to go south to plunder the Han people. Not to mention the barbarism of the grassland peoples. In the face of life and death, all benevolence, justice and morality can be put aside. To sum up, there is only one sentence, poor grassland
People are too poor.
Therefore, seeing Guo Tu trying to lower Lin Feng's sense of existence by showing off the Yuan family's four generations and three masters can only make people underestimate his own IQ.
Tadun didn't know whether he really didn't understand the secret fight between Guo Tu and Lin Feng, or whether he was deliberately pretending to be confused.
Not only did he not mean to reconcile the two families, but he warmly invited Lin Feng to go to the Karasuma Khan Court with him.
It was only at this time that Tadun had the opportunity to correct a certain fallacy in Lin Feng's mouth: "Good friend, come with me to the foot of Karasuma Mountain to have a look. Not long ago, my uncle Qiu Liju returned to the embrace of the gods. Now I am already our Karasuma."
As a human being, I am qualified to invite my good friends to worship at the top of Karasuma Holy Mountain."
When Guo Tu heard that Tadun invited Lin Feng, he suddenly looked a little nervous.
But Lin Feng has no interest in going to the Karasuma Holy Mountain at all. If he goes hiking outside the Great Wall in the winter, he is not looking for trouble for himself.
What's more, the target of Lin Feng's trip is not actually Tadun, but Qin Yilu, who is currently missing.
Furthermore, Lin Feng was not worried that Guo Tu could persuade Tadun to stop the transaction with Pingyuan and invest in Bohai instead.
Lin Feng traded grain and food for horses and oxen with real money, and Yuan Shao didn't have Lin Feng's cheating device. How could he have any extra grain to compete with Lin Feng for the market?
"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would become the Great Khan of Karasuma so quickly. I was supposed to go to the Holy Mountain of Karasuma to congratulate the Great Khan. Unfortunately, I have other important things to do when I come to the grassland this time. I can only tolerate my rudeness later.
It’s fixed.”
Tadun obviously didn't expect Lin Feng to reject him so bluntly, so he blinked for a long time before realizing that it wasn't that he heard wrong, but that Lin Feng actually rejected him verbally.
"Good friend, why did you come to the grassland? Do you need our help?"
Tadun did not force Lin Feng to follow him to the Khan Court. At this time, Lin Feng's troops gradually gathered here. A rough count of the troops and horses would never be less than 20,000. Such a powerful force really made Tadun feel a little worried.
Feeling uneasy.
Lin Feng shook his head: "I'm afraid you can't help. I came to the grassland to look for Qin Yilu, the captain of the Han Dynasty in Bingzhou. He was ordered to patrol the border some time ago. It's hard to say where he has moved at this time."
"Qin Yilu?"
Tadun couldn't help but burst into a strange smile, and even Guo Tu, who was always sullen at the side, opened his eyes in surprise.
Lin Feng also felt something was wrong.
"No way, does the Great Khan really know the whereabouts of Qin Yilu?"
Tadun suppressed a smile while waving his hand and sending people back to the Karasuma camp quickly.
Soon, Karasuma Knight came to Lin Feng's horse carrying a prisoner who was tied up.
Lin Feng leaned over and took a closer look, oh, isn't this the eldest young master of the Qin Family Village, Qin Yilu.
It turns out that Qin Yilu led his army to patrol the border alone for the first time. He was young and enthusiastic. After repelling the invasion of two small groups of herdsmen tribes, he was temporarily dazzled by the victory. He actually changed his route and left the Han border without permission, and went deep into the grassland, preparing to kill more herdsmen.
To strengthen the military power.
The Southern Huns relied on Qin Yilu's stupid move to unite the forces in the Wuwan tribe that opposed Tadun, and successfully convinced Tadun that the Han Dynasty's army was approaching.
So Tadun personally led the army to fight, easily defeated Qin Yilu, and then fell into an ambush by the Southern Huns. The army suffered heavy casualties. When he tried his best to escape back to the Karasuma Khan Court, he met Lin Feng to rescue him.
After Lin Feng understood what happened, he couldn't help but give Qin Yilu two thumbs up.
This guy is so awesome. With less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in total, he dared to go deep into the grassland to fight the Khan of the Wuwan people. Do you really think that you are Huo Qubing, the legend of the ages?
Since Lin Feng came to see Qin Yilu, there was nothing else to say. Tadun handed him over to the Pingyuan Army with a wave of his hand.
Not to mention that he owed Lin Feng a huge favor, but now that Lin Feng had taken someone from him, Tadun didn't dare to refuse.
The battle just now was too scary. Lin Feng led his generals to attack the southern Huns camp in turns, which was too tough, hot-blooded and overbearing.
Now that the person has been found, Lin Feng does not want to stay in the grassland for a long time. The northwest wind blowing in the endless grassland on a cold day is really not what people should do.
When saying goodbye to Tadun, Lin Feng nodded slightly and smiled at Guo Tu, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Yuan Shao began to secretly make friends with the grassland tribes, obviously preparing to show off his power in the north. Either he wanted to deal with Liu Yu or he was displeased with Gongsun Zan. It seemed that a new round of war was coming.
On the way back, Lin Feng specially prepared a table of good wine and food to ceremoniously entertain Qin Yilu, who had just been rescued by him.
It's a pity that the eldest son Qin didn't appreciate it. After toasting Lin Feng with a glass of wine to thank him for saving his life, he kept his head down the whole time, neither drinking nor eating. He seemed to be so depressed that he didn't want to live.
Lin Feng didn't care about that. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he directly asked Qin Yilu for Ling'er's divorce letter.
Qin Yilu raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He asked for paper and pen from the soldiers without any expression. After three strokes, five divided two, General Xiu wrote and signed it, handed it to Lin Feng, and then entered the autistic state again.
Overjoyed, Lin Feng gently dried the letter of divorce, handed it to Pei Yuanshao to put away, and sighed deeply to Qin Yilu.
Alas, this poor child seems to be really depressed, and I don't know if there is any way to save him.
