"What, Boyan is not in the capital?"

Hearing this news, Liu Yu was a little surprised, the reason why he had this reaction was because he knew that this person was the commander of the attack on the Song Dynasty and one of Kublai Khan's most trusted people. At present, Yuanren is recruiting on a large scale, and his actions as a coach should be particularly noticeable, Liu Yu is worried that he will have arrived somewhere in advance, which indicates that the war is about to break out.

"The subordinates have inquired carefully, this person returned to Beijing three months ago, and he stayed in the city for less than half a month before leaving with people. According to the news received by the brothers who stayed behind, there was a rebellion in the northwest region of Tartar, and the specific situation was not clear. ”

The two of them were in a restaurant in the capital, and the Yuan people did not prohibit their actions, and after determining that Kublai Khan would not summon them immediately, Liu Yu walked out of the post house with his entourage Weifu. As expected, there were a few people behind him, but it didn't look like surveillance at all, because it was too close to make it too obvious, it was estimated that the Yuan people were afraid that they would cause some trouble, Liu Yu didn't take those people seriously, he knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at these people.

After entering the restaurant, the people behind him stopped outside the door, Liu Yu took people directly to the second floor, a large house facing the street was wrapped by him, and next to it was a room chartered by Li Shiyi, he had to come half an hour earlier than Liu Yu. After the wine and food were served, the guys in the building were driven out, and Li Shiyi came to Liu Yu's room with a hole, all of them were like the underground party joints in spy war movies, which had been written into their training manuals by Liu Yu.

"Northwest" Liu Yu repeated these two words in his mouth while tapping his fingers on the table.

This northwest does not refer to the Shaanxi and Gansu regions of later generations, but to the farther frontier provinces, and even to the territory of a former Central Asian republic split from the former Soviet Union. It's too far away, he can't build another line of communication for this, there are not enough people at all, besides, who wants to go to that kind of place, they don't even understand the language.

The Northwest Turmoil was a history he had known for a long time, but why did it happen now? When he fooled Lian Xixian before, he hoped to play the role of a god stick to shock him, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't know this at the time, because according to the history books, this should have happened next year.

It seems that his arrival has changed something, but from the overall situation, this is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, at least now Kublai Khan is also facing a two-front war, will he change his original intention? Liu Yu thought about it and shook his head, this person's biggest obsession is to conquer the south, after the turmoil in history, he endured until the Boyan class returned to the dynasty, and then ordered him to lead the army to the west, and at this time the rebels had cut off the Hexi Corridor, and the goal was directly aimed at the fundamental place of the Mongols - Ha Thorn and Lin.

Objectively, those rebels have now become allies of the Great Song Dynasty, but Liu Yu knows that they are not Boyan's opponents, and the key to success or failure is a person named Haidu.

What can you do about it? Liu Yu glanced at Li Shiyi beside him and asked him to run away, indicating that Da Song intends to support him? He could have written a letter in the name of the messenger, but who would believe such empty words, and now he didn't even know where the war had been, and maybe tomorrow Boyan's good news would arrive

The news was too late, he knew that history had changed, he would definitely make arrangements in advance, although he was a little unwilling, Liu Yu still suppressed the thoughts in his heart, he couldn't let the brothers take risks for an unreliable guess,

He would have liked to go on his own if he could, but it would have been an adventure.

"Write down the name, if you hear it anywhere in the future, you must pay attention, and if you have the opportunity to pull the line, do it, without asking for other instructions."

Without pen and ink, Liu Yu dipped his fingers in wine and wrote two words on the table, which was just a transliteration, but it was definitely about the same. Li Shiyi recognized these two words, and the owner had already said that it was someone's name, so he silently read it twice in his heart, and then nodded towards Liu Yu.

"How many new soldiers are there in the city?" Liu Yu looked out the window, and the area had reached an ordinary residential area, and all kinds of people walked through the street, many of them were dressed as sergeants, and some were holding weapons in their hands.

"There are a lot, the exact number has not yet been counted, but yesterday there were more than 3,000 people, including Mongols, Jurchens, Goryeo and Tatars. It is said that the levy began a few months ago, and some tribes were far away, and they arrived one after another these days, and there were many more to come, all from various provinces in eastern Liao. ”

Liu Yu listened silently, several people wearing half-cut leather robes were walking under the window, very tall, with a small braid on their bare heads, which was different from the shape of a certain dynasty film and television drama on the rotten street in later generations, but it looked like the little boy of the Song people when he was a child.

Kublai Khan seems to have used all his strength, so many Han troops are not enough, even these mountain savages do not let go, such an uncontrolled levy, in addition to strengthening the army, I am afraid that there is also the intention of eliminating internal troubles and letting them and the Song people consume each other, Liu Yu guessed maliciously.

"Is the leather goods in the merchant house from Liaodong?" Liu Yu asked casually.

"Well, it's not just our store, most of the leather goods in the city come from there. Salt, iron, and other things were brought from this city, and when they arrived at them, they were exchanged for furs, mountain delicacies, and seafood, and it was immediately autumn when the leather goods were replenished, and in a few days there would be a caravan to set out. ”

"When the caravan departs, tell them to inquire about the situation of the various tribes, there are so many young people missing, their lives should not be easy, see if they can win over some."

Liu Yu has no interest in fur, but these should be regarded as rare varieties in later generations, and they may be worth a lot of money, but he doesn't have the time to do this kind of business now. When these Jurchens were requisitioned, they must have been promised, they were like the beginning of the founding of the Jin people, with fierce combat power and great destruction, if it could be reversed, they would be the same for the Yuan people.

"The subordinates have heard of this, those tribes are very poor, and the Yuan people are wantonly oppressing, and there are not a few who are dissatisfied, but the Yuan people are currently powerful, and no one dares to move. This time, most of the young people in the clan have joined the army, so they dare not say anything, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to achieve this intention. ”

Li Shiyi shook his head and said, Kublai Khan's move is indeed ruthless enough, it seems that he has already prevented this move, as soon as the young man leaves, the tribe is full of old and weak, and it is impossible to do anything. Liu Yu was not discouraged, these people were unruly, and all dynasties were very nerve-wracking, so he didn't believe that they would all obey.

"Open the joints first, and then talk about whether you need it or not, don't hurry and take your time."

He understands Li Shiyi's worries, his own safety is the most important thing at the moment, and he is unwilling to allocate more people to do other things, but Liu Yu can't tell him clearly, in fact, his safety is guaranteed, and he can only press it down first and then make a plan.

This time the going out was only tentative, Liu Yu didn't plan to stay outside for too long, the two broke up after eating, and he followed the same path back to the post house. And Li Shiyi turned around and went in the opposite direction, the arrangement of the waiter system still needs to be adjusted, and manpower is still a problem

, a few hundred people sounds like a lot, but in a big city with nearly a million people, it's not enough.

There are many shops in the area of Haizi Xiejie, which can be regarded as a trade area, and there are more ordinary people who come and go in addition to dignitaries and nobles, and anyone can find their favorite items here, so the business of the shops is naturally not much worse, and the storefronts are also hard to find.

"What's the matter, your boss still hasn't come back?"

A small colonel dressed as a hundred households of the Han army shouted in a not very authentic northern dialect, and threw the saber and sheath on the table with a "snap", so that the guys in the store immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands, and the shopkeeper behind the counter was also trembling, trembling and unable to say a whole sentence.

He was not the only one who came, and the three sergeants behind him also had a fierce face, scolding and squeezing away the guests who were picking up goods. In a few moments, the store was empty, and only those of them who couldn't run away were left.

"This general, the owner went to the north to buy the goods, and he may not be able to return for a while, or you will take a break to drink tea, and all the brothers will listen to the drama and visit the garden today, and the small ones are all covered, how about it?"

At the end of the day, he was used to opening the door to welcome customers, and the shopkeeper opened the cabinet door and quietly stuffed a roll of things, and said soft words in his mouth. Hundred households squinted at it, and the new Zhongtong treasure banknotes were estimated to be as much as possible, since people can be people, their mouths are not too bad to hear, and they scolded a few of their subordinates for two sentences, and sat on the side with them.

"I said that your owner is too, guarding such a shop where birds don't, can you lay eggs or eat them as food? Let's take a fancy to you as your blessing, don't give face, the one above us is not good-tempered, do you know who is behind? Baihu drank the tea he personally served, squeaking his mouth and teaching him a lesson.

"I know, I know, the general is right, but the little one is a person in charge, and the owner can't be the master if he is not there. If you raise your hand, you must be accommodating for a few days, and the owner will visit him as soon as he returns. The shopkeeper waited for a few of them like a small guy, a smile on his face, seeing his virtue, as the saying goes, "stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", and a few people immediately stopped making noise.

Finally sent the people away, the shopkeeper stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched their backs disappear into the corner of the street, then he put away the smile on his face, wanted to spit hatefully, and swallowed it back when it came to his mouth. Picking up the curtain and entering the room, he kept walking straight into the back compartment, not even looking at the stunned guys in the hall.

"Gone? How to say it this time. ”

"Again, I want to talk to the owner."

A man in a long robe asked without raising his head, and he was playing with something in his hand, shiny and shiny, making a "tick-tick" sound from time to time.

"What's the source, do you know clearly?"

"It's clear, they're all people from the Xie family." The shopkeeper wiped the fine sweat from his head, and recounted the situation he had inquired about, and the man listened to him quietly, without saying anything for a long time, as if listening to an inconsequential story.

"Solving the Family"

The man muttered in his mouth, of course he knew the weight of these two words, in the north, he could offend the Mongols, offend the Semu people, and don't offend these Han generals, they are all real military exploits, and the people who are being used by the Great Khan at the moment do have the capital to be arrogant, and what about themselves? The man suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

"Come on, come on, take whatever you like, take it, take it"
