Originally, Yang Lin planned to use the winter season after harvest to focus all his forces to solve the Barbarian's problem. However, the robbers and killers from the Hu and Barbarian had disrupted Yang Lin's overall plan. Due to the Youzhou's special location and the fact that the long border was filled with jackals, Yang Lin had no choice but to split up and defend.

Just as Yang Lin was feeling extremely anxious, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had sent a message from the Liaodong that the envoys from the helper would pass through the Liaodong and head to the imperial government to seek for reinforcements. In the next few days, they would head north to Guangyang City.

Regarding this information, Yang Lin did not receive much attention. Previously, he had already heard Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's introductions. The helper was still more than a thousand kilometers away from the Xuantu County. The current Youzhou had already caused him to expend all his scheming, so how could he have the mind to bother about the helper that was far away in the horizon?

"Since they are willing to seek help from the imperial government, we will let them go."

Yang Lin threw the information aside and said to himself. He was not like Gongsun Zan, who liked to intercept messengers of the Barbarian and Hu Ren. Right now, the imperial government could not spare any time and energy to take care of the Hu people and the Barbarian, it would be useless for them to go.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second year's third month. From the information that came from the Luoyang, he found out that Zhao Ci, a soldier from River County had gathered a large group of soldiers to rebel and kill taiwai Qin Jie. Looking at this information, Yang Lin actually felt a little sad. After all, he and Nanyang County Qin Jie had attacked the xanthopanax together in the Nanyang.

The second message that came back from the Luoyang was that the envoys from the helper had come to the Luoyang. Although they were received by the Hanling Emperor, they were powerless against their pleas for help. Other than verbal and moral support, they received nothing and had no choice but to leave the Luoyang.

Half a month later, a soldier suddenly reported to Yang Lin that he had not seen the envoy from the helper. It turned out that when the group of helper s were on their way back, they had passed by Youzhou and wanted to meet him.

"Let him wait. We'll see when we have time."

It was already spring and the Urushion s had gone to graze their cattle. There were less robberies at the borders and the security situation of the Youzhou had improved greatly. Now that the helper had come to request an audience, Yang Lin really wanted to hear what had happened to them. Maybe they would need to use the helper in the future.

Yang Lin didn't really know much about the helper, he just had heard Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang talk about the horses in the helper. He immediately ordered for them to search for information on the helper. After a day of work with the scribe, he finally understood the current situation of the helper.

The helper was a people mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry in the north of the big sized man. It was located in the center of the Songhua River Basin and was located more than a thousand miles to the north of the Xuantu County. A population of over six hundred thousand people within a circumference of two thousand Li.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the helper established the Empire of Yu and submitted to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once gave Fu Yu the seal, will the Fu Yu country under the jurisdiction of the Xuantu County, year after year ordered tribute. The helper's agriculture and animal husbandry were more developed, with abundant grains and plenty of surplus food.

As the Han Dynasty weakened, the fresh inferior and the Gaoguellian gradually became stronger and continuously devoured the Xuantu County, causing them to continuously move north. The Xuantu County also became smaller and smaller, to the point where the fresh inferior and the Gaoguellian were separated the Xuantu County and the helper from each other. Afterwards, the Fuyu Kingdom submitted to the Gaoguellian and gradually cut off all communication with it.

After reading through the information on the helper, Yang Lin became interested in this race. Mainly farmers, livestock, and a gentle personality, similar to the Han Chinese. They were at the north side of fresh inferior, Gaoguellian. If they could get help from this nation, it would be extremely beneficial for their conquest of fresh inferior and Gaoguellian in the future.

Three days later, Yang Lin received Fu Yu Nation's envoy in the Schmidt's house. Accompanying Yang Lin were a few strategists and generals.

According to the helper's introduction, the Imperial Emissaries were the Ninth Prince s of Fuyu Country. A twenty year old or so Young people, was quite handsome, and was indeed not like the Urushion or the other nomadic peoples who were rough and boorish, very much like Central Plains scholars. They even spoke in fluent Chinese, and had a Chinese name, Gao Jie. After the ceremony, Prince Fuyu got to the point:

"Lord General, I have helped the remaining nations serve the Darky Court for generations. It was just that due to the obstruction of the fresh inferior and the higher-ups, the Empire of Yu had not paid tribute to them for many years. Now, Gaoguellian has attacked Fu Yu consecutively, attempting to destroy my Fu Yu Country. That's why Father sent me to wait for Darky Court to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the man was in a state of disarray and was unable to rescue him. As we were passing by the Youzhou, we saw that the Youzhou was strong and strong, and had a peaceful life for the people, so we wanted to ask the Lord General to help us out. If the Lord General sends troops to save Fu Yu, then Fu Yu is willing to submit to the Lord General. "

Yang Lin was not moved by their actions. These weak little nations had always been in the middle of a cycle of submission and rebellion, so Yang Lin, who was familiar with history, would definitely not be puzzled by them. He smiled faintly and continued to ask, "What exactly is going on with your Fountain of Nations? How's the battle with fresh inferior and Gaoguellian? "

The Prince Fuyu did not seem like he was willing to talk about this sad matter. After hesitating for a while, tears started to appear in his eyes, and he said, "Since last summer, when the Father was severely ill, the Gaoguellian took the opportunity to invade, and sent 50,000 troops to attack the enemy, but before I knew it, the First Prince led 20,000 troops to meet the enemy. In the winter, the fresh inferior invaded on a large scale, sending thirty thousand troops to attack and support the enemy. The Father ordered the Third Prince to resist the enemy, but in the end, they were defeated and had no choice but to retreat into the swamp. Father ordered me to come to the Central Plains to ask for help while abandoning the Imperial City to move north to avoid its blade. I've been out for a few months, but I really don't know how things are going. "

"So that's how it is!" Yang Lin nodded, and roughly understood the situation. How many people are there in your helper? "How many troops?"

"Our Country of Fuyu spans a thousand miles. With a population of over six hundred thousand, it normally has an army of over thirty thousand. Ever since the invasion of the Gaoguellian and the fresh inferior, more than 60,000 troops had been recruited. However, they had all been defeated and had lost more than half of their forces. All the young and strong men in the country have been recruited, and have suffered heavy casualties.

Speaking to here, the Prince Fuyu began to cry. This was the sorrow of a weak people. When they were strong, they held others in high regard and stirred up trouble everywhere, overweening themselves. Thinking about that helper, he had also rebelled against the imperial government several times and met with the imperial government's blade soldiers. However, they failed quickly and submitted quickly as well. They would pay tribute and atone for their sins the moment they lost the battle. When they were weak, they would be defeated upon contact, but they could not withstand a single blow. If they were not careful, it was possible for them to die and their country to disappear into the river of history.

"So, how do you want us to help you?" Yang Lin did not care about his crying. This world fought and killed everyday, the strong survived and the weak were eliminated. This was the rule of nature.

"The reason why the Gaoguellian and the fresh inferior decided to attack the Fusu Nation without worry is because last year, the Lord General was focused on cleaning up the internal affairs, and had them draw out their troops to attack the Fusu Nation. Lord General only needs to send troops to attack Gaoguanli and fresh inferior, they will definitely retreat from Fuyu. "

Just as Yang Lin had thought, the Prince Fuyu had indeed asked Yang Lin to send out troops to attack Gaoguellian and fresh inferior, which was exactly what Yang Lin would not do at the moment. Using the lives of your soldiers, in exchange for your meaningless submission, even if Yang Lin was beaten to death he would not do such a foolish thing.

"His Royal Highness, I'm afraid we cannot fulfill your request. "We wouldn't dare to start a war without the emperor's order."

Since you've already asked the emperor, then let him be. Ever since winter fell last year, the various counties of Youzhou had written about the countless Recital s invaded by Urushion, fresh inferior, Gaoguellian and Triple Korea. In the eyes of the Emperor, the Youzhou seemed to be unable to protect herself, how could she have the energy to care for Fu Yu's country?

"Lord General, are you just going to watch as the Empire of Yu takes over?" Seeing that there was no hope for him, Prince Fuyu could not help but cry, and even the old man beside him started to wail.

But Yang Lin did not move, he just watched them cry.

Prince Fuyu cried for a while. Seeing Yang Lin, his advisors and Generals looking at them as if nothing had happened, he was unavoidably angry in his heart. But thinking about their own situation, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and say: "Lord General, if Fu Yu Nation dies, Gaoguellian and fresh inferior will become even more powerful. Could it be that Lord General is going to be even more powerful while he's sitting down?"

"His Royal Highness, I am indeed not willing to see Gaoguellian and fresh inferior grow up, but what can I do without the Emperor's orders?" Yang Lin shook his head and said helplessly.

Just then, the old man beside the prince spoke a few words in their language beside the prince's ears. The prince nodded and then said to Yang Lin: "Lord General, I can understand your difficulties. But in order to deal with our common enemy, please extend a helping hand. I know that your army has the ability to do so, and you have the means to do so. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. "

Yang Lin could not help but look at the Old Man Fu, it seemed that the Old Man was Prince Fuyu's advisor or something similar, had he seen through Yang Lin? Regardless of whether or not you saw through it, Yang Lin lightly said, "Without the Emperor's decree, we are indeed not allowed to directly send our troops out. However, we also have a flexible approach. For example, I allow you to recruit an army in Youzhou, and then you lead this army back to Fu Yu to save them. "

"Ah …" Prince Fuyu was so shocked that he almost jumped up, but he looked at the old man beside him. However, the old man was also surprised. The two of them talked for a while before Prince Fuyu asked: "Lord General, how long will it take to recruit an army? How much money? How do I get rid of the weapons and provisions? "

This is the crux of the problem. This was what Yang Lin was waiting for. He lightly said, "According to my judgement, you need to recruit tens of thousands of troops to be able to withstand the attacks of two enemies. If we want to recruit over a hundred thousand soldiers, we'll need at least three days. As for the weapons, armor, provisions and horses, I can sell them to you. "

"A hundred thousand soldiers, how much is that?" Prince Fuyu exclaimed, and turned back to discuss with the old man.
