Chapter 210: Sleepy Tiger
Chen Chu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ariba say that he was going to attach himself to Yelu Yujian, but Murbabak and the others all said, "Good idea, good idea!" ”
Chen Chu said: "Yelu Yujian is also Dajin's general, is there a difference between being attached to him and being attached to Wanyan Xiyin?" ”
Harsan smiled when he heard this: "Little Brother Chen, I have followed you all the way, and I have heard more about your shrewdness, but today, it seems that you are still young after all, and you don't know the affairs of the northern country well!" ”
Chen Chu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Please advise!" ”
Harsan said: "Dajin Wanyan's clan, such a big country has been laid in ten years, then he is naturally a hero at the top!" However, these heroes are also a little fierce, this world was fought by their Jurchens, and we, the Khitans, Bohai people, Xi people, and Wu'er people, have no choice but to let them go sideways! The Wanyan tribe is the emperor's clan, so they have to be horizontal in the Wanyan tribe, and the other Jurchen tribes can't do anything. But in this world, there is a person who has a way to dare to uphold justice in case of trouble, even if the Wanyan Department oppresses other tribes and the Jurchens bully other tribes, he dares to stand up and speak! For the sake of the small tribes and the common people, he even dared to argue with the emperor of Dajin! Who is this man? ”
Chen Chu said: "General, Zhi Yanchong? ”
Harsan, Mubabak, and Aliba shouted in unison: "Of course the general, who else but him!" ”
Harsan continued: "So all the departments of the Wanyan Ministry, except for the descendants of General Zongxiong, hate the general, but they hate it, the alienated Jurchen factions outside the Wanyan Ministry, the Khitan, the Xi people, and the Bohai people outside the Jurchen tribe, all like the general, why?" It's not that the general dares to say directly: It is not right that Wanyan is superior to all tribes and Jurchen is superior to all tribes! What's even more rare is that he not only said, but also did it in southern Liaoning! That's a big deal! Therefore, except for the Wanyan clan in the northern kingdom, especially those of us merchants who have no status, those literati who have little power, and the poor people who work hard, all regard the general as the one who can make decisions for us! ”
Chen Chu said: "So, Yelu Yujian is also a person who supports the general?" ”
"Support?" Murbarbuck laughed: "Don't you dare to support him." But secretly he still sells the face of the general. In fact, non-Jurchen patriarchs, chiefs, generals, and officials in Daikin who do not sell the face of the general. Just like this war in the Song Dynasty, although the general was put under house arrest by the second prince, he released a word, and Liu Yanzong, who was known as the prime minister of Dajin, still tried his best to persuade the second prince to kill less. What a merit to save tens of millions of heads in one sentence! ”
Harsan said: "This Yelu Yu is also like this, let them openly surrender to the general, they don't dare, but when we do business, as long as we show the name of the Han Department, he will always give us something convenient if they can do it." For example, I had a mistake in Fengshengzhou the year before last, and the goods were robbed by a gang of rogues, and I was at a loss and didn't know what to do, but I met Yelu Yujian's partial general on the road, and as soon as he heard that I was a merchant sent by the Han Ministry to buy, he didn't say a word, and brought people and horses to level the gang, and even took my goods back. ”
Murbabak said: "Yes, yes, things like this, the merchants of the Han Department have experienced a lot, and they can't finish talking about them for three days and three nights." ”
Harsan said: "In a word, now that the Hetao is so chaotic, the one we can rely on the most is afraid that only Yelu Yu can see." ”
Chen Chu thought for a moment and said, "What about Xiao Tienu?" ”
When all the merchants heard this, they all cried, "Don't mention that traitor!" If it weren't for him, how could the general have fallen! ”
Harsan said: "Besides, he can't protect himself now, how can he take care of our affairs!" ”
Murbabak said: "I said that it was fortunate that he himself could not be protected, otherwise we would have suffered!" ”
Chen Chu smiled slightly: "To tell you this, I really want to meet this Yelu Yujian." However, he is now leading troops to fight on the front line, so it is a matter of whether he can meet him or not, and whether he will help after seeing him. It is better to divide our troops into two ways: stay all the way, find a place nearby where we can hide from the rebellion, and let the caravan hide first; The other way is to be a messenger to ask for Jerod's eyes, how about it? ”
Harsan and the others all said: "Okay! Chen Gongzi is really a scheming person, no wonder Wu Laoken asked you to replace him as the leader of the caravan. ”
At that moment, Chen Chu and Harsan were selected to lead a few people to see Yelu Yujian, and Murbabak and Aliba stayed behind to lead the caravan.
Chen Chu said again: "We are afraid that it will not take ten days and a half to come back, my caravan this time is transporting silk, glass, ginseng, sugar has been exchanged for Song Qian and horses in Datong, I estimate that the rations of my caravan are only enough to eat for ten days." If Harsan and I can't return in time, please be the master, and my caravan will be killed for rations, except for the horses that carry the goods! ”
Murbabak smiled: "Young Master Chen, we are more prepared than you!" We have more than two months of food rations! ”
Aliba said: "If you want to go to Western Xia, whether you take Wuliangsuhai all the way or take the river, there is a desert on the road. Walking the trade route in the northwest, sometimes it is not surprising that you can't find food for a month! The most fearful thing is to stay in some desolate place for some reason, like now. We often use some surplus goods like small beads or something along the way to exchange cattle and horse rations with the shepherds along the way, so the things to fill the stomach have not been reduced, and when the time comes, the people in your caravan will not have enough to eat, we will also help, you can rest assured! ”
Chen Chu smiled and said, "I see, I have been taught." Speaking of which, I am still young and don't know the market of the Northwest Business Road, which makes you laugh. ”
After saying the code to contact when they came back, Chen Chu and Harsan set off. All the way to the south, before crossing the Yellow River, he was discovered by Yelu Yu's detectives. Harsan explained his intentions and asked to see Han Funu, Yelu's general. Soon the group was taken across the Yellow River and blindfolded to the Yelu Yujian station.
Chen Chu thought all the way, and said in his heart: "This is not far from the Yellow River, and there is still some distance from the garrison of the Heqing army, is Yelu Yujian planning to rescue Xiao Ziqi?" But if so, why didn't he cross the river? ”
The two of them stayed in a big tent for a day, and only then did a yellow-skinned officer come to see them, and the guards drank them and saluted General Xiao, and Harsan shouted, "General Xiao? Are you General Xiao Qing? ”
The officer said, "Yes, General Han Funu is inconvenient to see you now, if there is anything, tell me." ”
Harsan told him that he wanted to be sheltered by Yelu, but he kept an eye on it, and did not tell the size of the caravan or where it was hiding.
The officer Xiao Qing groaned: "You have found the wrong person, and now our military affairs are tense, and we can't spare to help you no matter what." ”
Harsan was shocked, kowtowed, and said, "General Xiao, you must help!" This time, we are businessmen sent out by the order of the Seventh General of the Han Department personally, so we can't have an accident! ”
Xiao Qing sighed and said, "Yang Yingqi? He sent you? ”
Hal Thornton said, "Yes, yes! ”
Xiao Qingdao: "If you are a businessman from the official faction of the Han Dynasty, then do you have his seal?" ”
"It's ......," said Harssan, "no." ”
Xiao Qing snorted and said, "What a big guts! There is no seal, and they also rush to pretend to be replaced! ”
Hal Thornton said, "General Xiao! We went to Western Xia this time to buy a thousand miles of horses for the Han Department, and the whole world knows about it, how can we fake? ”
"The whole world knows?" Xiao Qing sneered: "I haven't heard of it. "You must know that this is already the border of Western Xia, and the people of Yanjing, Liaokou, and Tanggu know the things that are "known to the whole world", and the people here may not have received the slightest wind.
Harsan was anxious when he heard this: "General Xiao, if you don't believe it, please go to Datong Mansion to inquire!" I know that what I said is true. ”
Xiao Qing smiled: "I don't have that kung fu!" That's it, stay here, and when the matter here is over, I will send someone to send you back to Datong Mansion." ”
Harsan hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Wait a minute! I...... I still have a letter from President Ayimuth! As he spoke, he took out Ayimusi's letter and handed it to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing also knew who Ayimusi was, and after reading the letter, he said: "It seems that the matter is not false, but it ...... Why did Yang Yingqi spend so much effort to buy a Maxima? ”
"This ......" Harsan smiled bitterly: "The seventh general didn't say it, how do we know?" However, everyone said that a warlock in the Great Song Dynasty had a recipe, as long as he gathered eight pairs of thousand-mile horses, he would be able to breed thousands of horses after more than ten years. ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Qingdao: "I don't think you're lying, but we can't slow down if you really take Yang Yingqi's seal." After saying that, he didn't care about Harsan's pleading, and then he went out of the tent and left.
After Xiao Qing left, Harsan reproached Chen Chu and said, "Chen Gongzi, you have always been able to speak well, why didn't you help just now?" ”
Chen Chu smiled and said: "I don't talk nonsense, because I haven't fully figured out the whole situation yet, besides, we don't know if this person is a general of Yelu Yujian!" ”
Halsan said, "Now we are in a hurry to go to the doctor!" This general seems to be amiable, even if he is not Yelu Yujian's general, as long as he can see the face of the Han Department to help us do this, it will be done. ”
Chen Chu sneered: "The current situation inside and outside the Hetao, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think!" However, judging from Xiao Qing's words and demeanor, maybe he is really the general of Yelu Yu. ”
Chen Chu guessed correctly, this Xiao Qing is indeed real. After he came out of the tent, he went to the big tent of Yelu Yu, and he didn't need to tell the chief general about such a trivial matter, but because it might involve the Han department, he briefly explained the matter. After hearing this, Yelu Yu asked, "Do you think these people are really sent by Yang Yingqi?" ”
Xiao Qingdao: "It looks very similar." Sending so many people and using so many belongings to find Maxima, such a ridiculous thing was done by Yang Yingqi! ”
Yelu Yu said: "He has always done things in the mountains and rivers, what do you think he is doing this time?" ”
Xiao Qingdao: "There may be two: the first is to send spies to hide in the caravan and explore geography and military intelligence along the way; The second is to send envoys to hide in the caravan, to meet Mongolia and Western Xia as help. ”
Yelu Yu nodded. Xiao Qing said again: "But there is one thing I don't understand, this kind of thing, there is no need to make a big fanfare, and there is no need to send such a large-scale caravan." Don't...... Did he really want to buy a Maxima? ”
Yelu Yu said: "Maybe the goods escorted by these caravans of his are all gifts to the Western Xia monarchs and Mongol princes. ”
Xiao Qing said: "Yes! There is a possibility. But since we have guessed this, they may not be able to guess it if they are lazy and Zonghan! So why did they let it go? ”
Yelu Yu said: "Even if they guess, as long as they don't find evidence, it's not good to detain these caravans for no reason, right?" How many caravans are there in Daikin now, and they can seize them? Moreover, unreasonable seizure will only scare other businessmen from doing business. Hum! Zong Han fought these battles, but he didn't reap such great benefits as easily as the Eastern Route Army! Now he needs money! ”
Xiao Qing nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Yelu Yu said: "Actually, even if Yang Yingqi's group of people meet the king of Western Xia, the Mongolian Khan, it is difficult to say whether they can form an alliance." Taking a step back, even if they really form an alliance, with the current situation, Zong Han and they may not be afraid! Look at the situation in front of him, before Taiyuan was defeated, he dared to take back the Hetao that had promised others! Hum! Ruthless enough! Ruthless enough! ”
Xiao Qingdao: "Zong Han's ambition has always been to include Western Xia, but this time he has to deal with it, I'm afraid it's not mainly Western Xia, but Xiao Tienu!" ”
The two were talking, and the front door official reported: "General Han Funu is back!" ”
Yelu Yu hurriedly said, "Please come in!" ”
Han Funu came in with a face of sand and dust, and Xiao Qing asked, "How is Xiao Ziqi?" ”
"Surrounded, surrounded!" Han Funu said: "I have been surrounded by the Wuliangsu Sea for seven days!" Wanyan Xiyin still didn't send rescuers, it seems that this time Zong Han really wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone! ”
Xiao Qing snorted and said: "This battle to expel the Xia people was started by Xiao Tienu, and after the Xiao Ziqi is destroyed, Zong Han can put the guilt on his head!" Handed over the person but not the land! At the moment, Xia Ren doesn't dare to break with him, and most of them will take the opportunity to step down! Hum! Zong Han's plan kills three birds with one stone! ”
Han Funu said: "Which three?" ”
Xiao Qingdao: "First, naturally, it is to use the Xia people to drag down the military momentum of the Great Song Dynasty and Shaanxi, and second, to give up the pawn to protect the car, and use Xiao Tienu's life to make the Xia people eliminate this breath......"
Han Funu said: "What about the third? ”
"Third, by the way, in addition to Xiao Tienu's sibling trouble! For a wolf dog that is not very obedient, if it can't pull out its teeth, it is better to kill it earlier. Yelu Yu sighed and said, "But I don't know when, Xiao Tienu's fate will be our turn!" ”
Han Funu and Xiao Qing all changed their faces when they heard this.
