Chapter 239: Into the Urn 5
Outside the city of Jingjiangfu, on the side of the Yangjiang River, there is a mountain that resembles a pictogram lying in the river, and not far from the river, hundreds of live elephants are dragged by elephant slaves from Bagan, or draw water, or wash, no one or other animals within a radius of several miles approach, but it has become a paradise for these giant beasts.

Not only ordinary people, but also the Song sergeants who came with these elephants, it also seemed a little unnatural at this time, animals are animals, who knows what will happen to them, and if it really happens, what will happen to stop such a huge body? The only one who doesn't care about this is Liu Yu from later generations.
Just a few steps away from the largest war elephant, he and a man dressed as Bagan sat comfortably on a boulder by the river, looking at the beautiful landscape in the distance, listening to the elephants playing at close range, and all kinds of wonders of nature, which were difficult to see in later generations.
However, the man next to him was not as leisurely as he was, with undisguised anxiety on his face, as if there was some question waiting for his answer, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and stopped on the tall city behind him.
"You can bring the greetings of the lord of your country and the father of the Great Zai, Mr. Ananda, this official is very grateful, the agreement reached between Mr. Yang and you can be written now, but you have also seen that I still have some small troubles to solve here, and it may not be convenient to meddle in the dispute between you and Annan, otherwise, I will send someone to send you directly to their capital, okay?"
Seeing Liu Yu's embarrassed face, the man couldn't help but become more anxious, and even his tone became a little stammering: "Honorable Dashuai, our Pu Guo is a friend of the Great Song Dynasty, Annan is just a two-headed pleasing mouse, not trustworthy, you must know that it is still a subject country of the Yuan people in name, but it has inserted a knife in the master, one day it will treat the Great Song Dynasty like this, please think twice." ”
Unexpectedly, this Bagan man wrapped in a robe and a yellow cloth strip on his head can not only speak Chinese, but also occasionally pop up a few idioms, which makes Liu Yu, a scumbag of later generations, very embarrassed, although the truth of the people is very good, but he has no intention of saying anything, because this is one of his plans.
The Yuan people experienced the defeat of Yongzhou, and the vitality was greatly injured in a short period of time, and they may not be able to block the full force of the Bagan people, Annan ran to take advantage of the fire at this time to rob, the two sides did not have the slightest tacit understanding, and it was strange not to make a dispute, and now the troops of the three kingdoms were all attracted to the hometown of Dali, at least the Yongzhou line can sit back and relax, otherwise once the Yuan people entered the Guangxi Road, with the urine nature of the monkey of Annan, it is also possible to insert a knife in the Song Dynasty.
"Mr. Enanda, can you tell the official where you are now, have you taken Dali City?" Seeing his earnestness, Liu Yu couldn't refuse bluntly, so he turned to inquire about the progress of the war.
Counting up, it has been almost three months since the Bagan people invaded Dali, and their goal is Dali City, which is located between Cangshan and Erhai Lake, which is the ruling center of Dali in ancient times, and it can only be regarded as a victory if it is taken, the man listened to him ask, his face was a little embarrassed, and his tone was much lower.
"Originally, our offensive was very smooth, all the way to Qingdian and Menghua, but I don't know why, the Yuan people suddenly gathered a large number of men and horses from elsewhere, threatening the safety of our army from the flank, so our commander Prince Tihadu, chose to be cautious, when I came with your soldiers, the two sides confronted each other in the Chishui area near Dali City, but the hateful Annan people, but we attracted the main force of the Yuan people, launched a surprise attack from the other side, and occupied a large area such as Yuanjiang, Heni, and Weichu, The soldiers have approached Zhongqing Road, which should have been the spoils of war between you and us. ”
For his resentment, Liu Yu also expressed his understanding, Zhongqing Road is the capital of Yunnan Province in the later Spring City, in fact, since the Yuan people destroyed Dali, its ruling center has been constantly shifting to this area, because the transportation there is more convenient, conducive to their rule, I have to say, the vision of the Annamite people is still very good, at a glance to see the benefits.
Listening to his introduction, Liu Yu couldn't help but sweat for the old fox Sai Chidian, the two most famous-stirring sticks on the Indochina Peninsula actually got into his territory, it was really a big trouble, the only good news is that there is no cooperative relationship between the two, but they are competing with each other, if he is really as old and spicy as recorded in history, he should know how to resolve it.
Since this is the case, he doesn't have to mix, for him, it is most advantageous for the three parties to maintain a balance of power in Dali, but this does not prevent him from grabbing some more benefits, who let the other party take the initiative to send it to the door.
"Mr. Enanda, you are right, the Annan people can betray the Yuan people today, and they can deal with the Great Song Dynasty tomorrow, and you and I have no territorial adjacents, so naturally there is no conflict, this point has been concluded in the peace agreement between Mr. Yang and you, and now your arrival can further strengthen this consensus, these elephants are proof, for your requirements, I am willing to help, if you need any support, you may as well put it forward."
Liu Yu's clear statement made the man breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what the truth is, in the eyes of Guangxi Road, the Great Song Dynasty is still a powerful neighbor, for this small country on the Indochina Peninsula, it has a very realistic deterrent, with the endorsement of this commander, the man believes that his trip to Annan should have a lot of gains, but after a few words, the anxiety on his face has gradually faded, revealing a happy expression.
"I hope that Mr. Ananda's trip will go smoothly, but Annan is not a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty, they may disobey the yang and the yin, in this regard, this official has a more effective way, so that the Annan people can retreat without a fight, do you want to hear it?"
"Please give me advice." The man didn't expect him to say that, but he still put his hands together respectfully and put on a deferential posture.
Liu Yu beckoned to him and whispered something in his ear in a very low voice, which made the surprise on the man's face more and more serious, until the other party stopped for a long time, he didn't come back to his senses, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would almost think it was a dream.
It's just that, as a messenger, he naturally knows that there are no sudden gifts between countries, and the other party is so mysterious and secretive, obviously waiting for his return, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is on the surface, what can I do to impress the other party's heart? The man hesitated.
"You need food, we can do our best to meet it, if it is not enough, we can also let other countries on the peninsula supply it together, if the marshal can really do what you just said, the whole country is grateful, and will provide full support to the Great Song, no matter what it is."
That's enough, it seems that the other party just made a promise with empty teeth, but Liu Yu believes that with his own strength, no one can rely on it, and all he needs is a mouth, as for what to pay? Almost zero.
So, when Yang Xingqian brought someone over, what he saw was the Bagan messenger named Enanda, with a happy face, which formed a strong and stark contrast with the sad face when he first saw him, and his owner was still a calm face, as if these were just some trivial things.
And only he knows in his heart how big a game Liu Yu has played, and how much wind and rain this game will stir up, and these countries, large and small, are just idle people on the chess board of the owner.
"Is this person in the urn?"
"Strike while the iron is hot, this matter, you go with that Enanda, when you bought grain, didn't Annan feel sorry for you, this time you have to ask for it back, and make them willing, but you can agree with your mouth, but you can't write it into words, and the official doesn't recognize it." Liu Yu nodded.
"My subordinates will do their best." Yang Xingqian heard it, he was also very happy, he preferred a longitudinal diplomatic career than dealing with some trivial matters here, Liu Yu said this, which is equivalent to entrusting him with full power, this majesty is not comparable to ordinary affairs.
As for what kind of reaction the target will have, it is no longer in his eyes, at this time, Annan, hold his tail well, and want to jump out, offending the Song people, the Bagan people and their suzerain, Guoyuan, for a small and narrow country, this is not death or anything, right now, the envoys of the two countries are gathered, if they don't know their situation, then there is no way.
"There's news from the city?" Yang Xingqian took the initiative to come to him, naturally it would not be for other reasons, no matter what, this mess is the one who needs the most attention at the moment.
"Qiu Fujun has seen Master Li, everything is fine with him, but he is not free, according to him, the conditions we have set have already worked, and it is expected that something will happen soon. However, there is one thing that is very strange, according to Chief Li, after he was detained, he saw a person, this person was Yongzhou to appease Ma Chengwang, listening to the other party's meaning, it seems that he has the intention of surrendering, but he does not know whether it is true or not. ”
"Ma Chengwang?" Liu Yu shook his head: "At the beginning, the official only mentioned it slightly, but told him to know the meaning of the strings and songs, and he is still a smart person, since there is such a change, then things will be more secure, I just hope they can move faster." ”
"Fu Shuai is afraid...... Will there be any accidents in Tanzhou? ”
Yang Xingqian's guess was not wrong, Liu Yu turned his head, it was the direction of the north, his eyes stared at the distance motionlessly, Tanzhou City was only afraid that it was about to fall.
