"Thank you for your generosity."

Liu Yu gave a Han salute to this Mongolian, and the people paid nearly 100 lives, which deserved him to be treated with courtesy. Tuo Buhua smiled bitterly and replied with a bowing salute, if he lost these loyal subordinates, he could exchange for what the Great Khan wanted, what was he reluctant to do, originally this trip, he was ready to die for a lifetime, otherwise he would not agree to the request of the stabbing and the sudden loss, participate in the attack on the horse thief, and people have no enmity with him.

This seemingly polite Han man is really younger, but what he says can't be ignored, unlike the Han people he knows, this person knows more about the disputes within the Golden Family than he, Haidu Khan's henchman, and even those extremely awkward geographical names, which make people wonder if he was born and raised there.

"Take off the flowers, with all due respect, you Great Khan have chosen the wrong direction, what is there in the northwest? The population is not large, the territory is vast, and it is impossible to hold it if it is taken. Let's go north, only if you go north, there is a way out, there is the place where Genghis Khan started, where Kublai Khan's ancestral industry is located, he can't afford to lose it, take it, you can cut off the connection between Mobei and Dadu, and you can get the response of the host kings. ”

"You mean Hart and Lin?" In addition to taking a walk these days, the rest of the time is devoted to language learning, he already has a good foundation in Chinese, and what he wants to correct is just pronunciation, and for this kind of Chinese pronunciation similar to foreigners, Liu Yu has heard it countless times in later generations, and there is basically no zài communication barrier, so this time, the two did not have a guò translation, and had a direct dialogue.

Liu Yu nodded, for the Mongols, Harthorn and Lin are the holy places in their minds, just like Christians are to Jerusalem, and this capital city is just a group of Han people, it is not only rebellions such as Haidu who have this kind of thought, even in Kublai Khan's court, there are not a few people with similar ideas.

Putting aside those populations, tribes, and the like, with Ha Thorn and Lin, Haidu can convene the Kuritai Conference and elect the Mongol Great Khan in a clear and honest manner.

"The descendants of Ögedei, even if it is just a piece of flesh in swaddling clothes, are the natural heirs of the Great Khan." Liu Yu looked at him and said very sternly: "Take off the flowers, I think that since this sentence comes from the mouth of the great Genghis Khan, it should be stipulated in the form of law, and every descendant of the Golden Family should strictly abide by it, and those who disobey will be spurned by the Immortal Heaven, and all the people of Mongolia will not be tolerated." ”

"On this point, on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, I firmly support Haidu Khan's righteous deeds and oppose the illegal deeds of Yiqiē to usurp orthodoxy." Liu Yu's righteous words made Tuo Buhua a little in a trance, as if he had traveled to a certain era of freedom of speech, and was once again represented.

"You don't believe it? For the record, this official is an ambassador plenipotentiary appointed by the Song Dynasty and has the right to conclude treaties with any friendly country, and if you want to see the original of the edict, I can have someone get it immediately. ”

This is the first time that Liu Yu has shown his identity in front of him, he was stunned, he didn't know what to say, his news was very lagging behind, and he didn't know the news of the Yuan and Song people's talks, this time the amount of information was a little large, and he needed time to digest it.

Liu Yu didn't care about him, and took out a map rolled into a tube, this map was much larger than all the previous ones, because this was the whole map of the entire Mongol Khanate, including the territory of the four khanates and the Yuan people at this time, as well as the surrounding neighboring countries, etc., as a very useful weapon in this era, once again blinded the eyes of a certain turtle.

“Oh,mY_GOd。” Tuo Buhua expressed his heartfelt admiration, of course, he didn't use English, this was just Liu Yu's brain supplement.

"You're probably in this position." Liu Yu pointed to the vicinity of Yin Mountain and said.

"If Haidu Khan has the determination to cross the Golden Mountain, the vast Mongolian steppe will be under his horse's hooves, isn't this a hundred times stronger than the place in the northwest where birds don't?"

In order to let Haidu act according to his own will, Liu Yu also fought hard, he desperately described the bright prospects, in fact, there is only one real reason, threatening the Mongolian homeland can make Kublai Khan have to turn to the north, because it is his ancestral land, which cannot be lost, which is essentially different from the northwest region.

"With all due respect, what good is this for you and Nan Da Song, and if we really do that, how are you going to help us?"

After calming down, Tuobuhua raised a very realistic question, the so-called "nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Liu Yu was selling the pill so hard, of course he wanted to ask before eating it.

Unlike Kublai Khan's southward direction, Haidu and others have always been not interested in the land of the Han people, and they don't look down on the Han people at all, let alone the Nanban who even the Han people can't look down on, of course, he won't say such an evaluation, at least the Nanban in front of him gave him a very deep impression, or a lesson.

"Don't take it anymore, please believe that we have a common enemy with you, and in this case, any action taken against them by either side will help the other. Under such a premise, the Great Song Dynasty did not want Haidu and his Khanate to disappear, and correspondingly, if the Great Song Dynasty could help him share more pressure, it would definitely be what Haidu wanted to see, am I right? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what we need." Tuo Buhua nodded.

Whatever you think, the vast Han Chinese state seems to be very formidable, at least on the surface, and they have held out for more than fifty years under the constant attacks of the Mongols, thwarting enemy attacks many times, and achieving successes including a Mongol Great Khan, which Tobuhua has to admit.

"As you said just now, you are making peace with them."

"Yes, that's the point, the point is, the result of this peace talks is controlled by me, can you understand?" Liu Yu opened his hole cards, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, this meaning is obvious, he can sign a contract with the Yuan people, or he can stalemate or collapse the negotiations, it all depends on his will.

"But"

"Kublai Khan is massing in order to fight your rebellion, which can be seen around the capital, and you can count the total number yourself to see if I have deceived you." Liu Yu was not afraid of him to inquire, because now the two sides are still in peace talks on the surface, although they know where these soldiers and horses will go in the end, but the Mingli Yuan people will not admit it.

I don't believe that Liu Yu will lie to him, because this scam is too easy to debunk, and besides, no country will tolerate rebellion, and it is natural to send troops to fight.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

When he returned to the capital, he was also ordered to investigate the military situation.

"Believe me, Kublai Khan is determined this time, he will not be satisfied with just driving you back, according to the information I have received recently, he has gathered enough troops to deal with all the enemies. And you are the first to bear the brunt, followed by Tuwa, I don't know if he will even fight the idea of the Kipchaks, you must know that a unified and vast khanate is his lifelong desire, he is already in his sixties, once people get old, they will become stubborn, so I will worry about you. ”

Although it is a reversal of black and white, Liu Yu said it is very sincere, if there is no such cheekiness, it is impossible to survive in the cruel sales industry, in the end, even he himself was moved, that Fu is compassionate, I really see pity

I can feel his sincerity, but I don't know what the use of this sincerity is, is it an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty? Not to mention that Haidu sweat is disdainful, what are the benefits for both parties? He didn't believe that the Song people would take the initiative to send troops, this is a country that has soaked its defense to the bones, and its biggest ability is to shrink behind tall stones and wait for the enemy to collide, but the young man in front of him gives him the feeling of being so determined, why should he?

"No, we don't need an alliance, for the country, that piece of paper is for tearing up, the Great Song Dynasty has countless lessons about this, the Liao, the Jin, and you Mongols, once they are strong, no one will abide by them, and your Haidu Khan will not be an exception, but." Liu Yu used a classic twist: "That is also after Haidu replaced Kublai Khan in the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia." ”

"Please continue." Tuo Buhua breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that this person would make such a request, it seems that people are very sober-minded, and they are not pedantic at all.

"A tacit understanding, or rather an unfettered alliance." Liu Yu put forward his opinion.

"What does the Assassination do for you? Bring what you need, and you give him back a smooth trade route? ”

From the perspective of the phenomenon, the essence is Liu Yu's strength, he can often think about problems from the most utilitarian perspective, and there is no time and space Song people's rules and regulations, such a reliable guess is out, and there is only a nod left.

"I said he could provide it, I can, tell me what you need most?"

"Iron, a lot of iron, without which we don't have enough arrows and armor, and for that we can exchange good horses, don't you lack this the most?"

This is the third purpose of not spending it, although he promised them, he did not say an accurate time, but used this as a threat to let him help exterminate the horse thief, the trade route to the northwest is not so easy to establish, if this Song man even has a way to do this, then it is really possible to reach the cooperation he said, after all, no one will refuse anything in essence.

Hearing such a request, Liu Yu showed a relaxed smile, steel in later generations is cheaper than Chinese cabbage, but it is a symbol of national strength in this time and space. The first battle of Jiankang is not so much relying on those black technology, but also several times the amount of steel put into the enemy, just the arrow cluster made of stainless steel, the frequency of the Song people firing far exceeds the enemy army attacking the city, when you can throw iron casually without money, defending the city is a job without technical content.

He planned to hand over this line to Ding Yingwen to do, and their relationship with each other was originally a competitive relationship, but now that the latter is gone, it is logical to replace him. More importantly, only the people of the Ding family know Mongolian and Turkic languages, and Liu Yu's subordinates do not have talents in this area.

Speaking of this, Liu Yu obviously felt the urgency of taking off the flowers, this requirement is estimated to be more important than forming an alliance with someone to resist the Yuan, the problem now is that the Yuan people are forbidden to iron, of course, it is aimed at the Han people, and Ding Yingwen is a Han person, and it is not as easy for him to do it as it is to make a mistake.

"No problem, the specific amount and transaction method, I will arrange someone to talk to you, but I also want the treatment that I have suddenly obtained, and in the territory of Haidu, I must ensure the absolute safety of my people." Silk Road, this can be had.

Of course, there is no need for Liu Yu to say, it is impossible to do anything to make money without spending it, seeing that the other party agreed, he began to review the previous words again, maybe the Great Khan really needs such an alliance object, at least it is much easier to deal with than the one in the capital.

"Please forgive me for my rudeness just now, if we can reach a less restricted alliance as you said, we hope that the Great Song Dynasty will not negotiate peace with Kublai Khan, and the two sides will exert pressure in their respective directions in order to achieve the goal of containment." The tone of the detached flowers began to become solemn.

"Very well, in order to show my sincerity, I will send a gift to Haidu Khan in the near future."

Liu Yu pretended to say mysteriously, making it itchy to listen to it, but he didn't dare to ask.

When the news of Jizhou was transmitted back to the capital, it was already the second day, Kublai Khan put it aside after reading it, and did not pay attention to it anymore, from his face, the king who served him knew that there was nothing abnormal, but when he silently counted ten numbers, and the letter in the hand of the Great Khan was still not put down, this was an unusual signal, the Great Khan's feelings were not very good, and his mind was not on it at all.

Waiting for this monarch from the grassland is to be careful everywhere, they often don't like to let the palace people in the inner court follow, and they don't like to be spied on. In this way, the competition with the opponent fell behind, but I didn't expect that the guy was actually killed violently at the most proud time, so he secretly didn't know how many times he was happy, this is really God's eyes.

"Wang Zhongyuan."

"The villain is here."

Wang Duzhi has been secretly paying attention to the situation above, so when he was suddenly called, he was not stunned or stunned, and immediately bowed his head in response, this courtesy is his greatest reliance.

"Tomorrow, you find two Langzhong from the palace and let them go to the Saman Mansion, just say that it is my mouth, and you will be allowed to enter the palace only when he is well raised."

"The villain is clear, and he will do it early tomorrow morning."

Kublai Khan threw the piece in his hand on the case, and Wang Duzhi knew from the corner of his eye that he hadn't read it at all, because it was neat and new, and there was no pinch marks after being seen, and the expression of the Great Khan seemed to have something to do.

"Don't do it tomorrow, you can do it in a while, pick a good doctor, if I am not mistaken, he will probably arrive tonight, so I will have a diagnosis and treatment with him, and tomorrow I will know what the injury is."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Sure enough, after a while, Kublai Khan changed his words, and listening to his tone, Wang Duzhi was suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that this high-ranking Khan henchman was injured? He was not lightly injured, how could this be possible, you must know that he was bringing a soldier of the guards, and he was the crown of the whole khanate in terms of skills and equipment, and on his own territory, who could hurt him, and who dared to hurt him?

"The villain wrote it down."

It was something that the Great Khan repeatedly ordered, and the king knew how to dare to be lazy, so he personally went to Guanghuisi as soon as he got on duty, and coincidentally, the only one who was still on duty was Guan Hanqing, who had dealt with him before. Originally, Wang Duzhi didn't want to go to him, because this person's medical skills were not obvious among the imperial doctors, and His Majesty's meaning was obviously to choose a good one, but this point? Wang Duzhi looked at the sky gloomily, and he was afraid that if he ordered someone to find it temporarily, it would delay the affairs of the Great Khan.

It is rumored that this Guan has experienced good wine, good gambling, and good songs, maybe it is some kind of creditor who comes to the door, and he has been robbed of the red face, and he is entrusted with the usual Ding family, and he has a lot of filial piety, so he deigned to go on a trip, and he didn't expect that this person would have anything to do with the violent death of Mr. Li.

"Guan experience, you are the only one on duty?"

"I know that I am close, I can't welcome you from afar, forgive my sins, today it is the turn of the lower officials, there was originally a Hu Yuan envoy who went through Wu, but someone in the palace came to call, saying that which concubine was sick, and not long before Du Zhi came, the result was that there was only one lower official."

Guan Hanqing stood up and smiled wryly, this king didn't know each other, and he actually passed the word for him personally, and he didn't know how to repay the huge favor, and now he knew that for official business, he muttered a little in his heart, could it be that he was sweating profusely to go to the doctor? Then his medical skills will be worried.

"Okay, it's you, according to the instructions of the Great Khan, send a person with excellent medical skills to the Bijachi Governor's Mansion to diagnose and treat him, he may not have returned a few days ago, you have to stay for one more night, and the results will be reported to the palace tomorrow, and the Great Khan must listen to the truth."

"Under the official's order, let's go."

As soon as he heard that he was going to the courtier's mansion, Guan Hanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Saman was always in charge of the palace guards, and he was the most useful person around the Great Khan, how could he get this kind of opportunity in ordinary times. Unexpectedly, Wang Duzhi sold another favor, he gratefully surrendered, and then hurriedly packed up and prepared all kinds of necessary utensils and medicines, in case there was an emergency.

Wang Duzhi went out of the palace after passing the decree, and like Manager Li, he also set up a house in the city, but the place was a little far away from Manager Li, which was also the reason for the discord between the two, and he didn't want to meet people he didn't want to see as soon as he went out.

Of course Ding Yingwen does not belong to this list, the Ding family has always been his money bag, last year's incident, so that both sides were unlucky, although the filial piety received was not short, but he knew that it was the Ding family's thrift and food to offer, now almost all the shops are taken by people, and people also have a large family to support, and he can still do this Cheng dù, he is very satisfied.

"Ying Wen, tell us honestly, has that Guan experience encountered any difficulties? Can we help? ”

He was in a good mood, and as soon as he entered the door, he rarely took the initiative to take care of things, which made Ding Yingwen, who had been waiting for him for a long time, a little stunned, not his style, so he quickly got up and greeted him.

"Thank you for knowing, it's just a little thing, and it's no longer okay to know the labor, how can you worry about it anymore."

"Okay, if you say no, there will be no problem, if there is really something, we can just ask."

Wang Duzhi looked at it, it didn't look polite, so he smiled and revealed the matter, although Ding Yingwen is not very old, but this eyesight is still good, and he didn't climb down the pole to give him a problem.

"I don't know it, I really have something to worry about right now, but I don't know how to speak."

Ding Yingwen helped him take off his robe and crown belt, and waited until he sat on the top and accompanied him to a cup of tea before he opened his mouth carefully, Wang Duzhi's face remained unchanged, he knew that there must be something wrong with this son, and he was waiting for this moment.

"Tell me about it." It will not be a trivial matter that can make Ding Yingwen embarrassed, and he does not dare to make any guarantees.

"I know that the Ding family's shop in the city has been taken by everyone, although the color man has died, but the shop still can't be taken back, I think about it, there is a reluctant request, I don't know if it's appropriate, so I came to ask for a show before."

"Hmm." Wang Duzhi took a sip of the tea in his hand and sent out a signal that he was listening.

"I heard that the man was doing the way of the Western Regions before, and now that he is gone, someone has to do this way, and he has been in the palace for a long time, I don't know if it is possible for our Ding family?"

Ding Yingwen's words made Wang Duzhi's heart move, and the biggest opponents of the two fell respectively, he now has the advantage and replaced the previous position of Chief Manager Li in the palace, but the Ding family has no way to get back the previous things, because the other party is a Semu person. But as Ding Yingwen said, the trade route cannot be abandoned for a day, how many people in the palace still point to things in the west, and many people have complained to him recently, saying that the things sent in are much shorter, and now think about it, this is really a method.

"Tell me about your plans." Once he was interested, Wang Duzhi no longer pretended, he put down the teacup and moved forward slightly, making a gesture of listening.

The benefits of salt and iron are the monopoly of the state, and this is the case until later generations, to open up the trade routes of the Western Regions, both of which are indispensable hard currency, especially for the current Mongols, one is an indispensable food, and a weapon to defeat the enemy, so if Ding Yingwen intends to operate, he must cross this hurdle.

Wang Duzhi understood as soon as he heard it, indeed, at the moment in the capital, it is basically unprofitable, and it is impossible for him to tear his face to help the Ding family earn territory, and it is not a way to find another remote rhino realm, but the problem is that the Ding family is Han, and it is not easy to get this name.

"Understood, in the palace, our family will inquire about one or two, whether this matter can be done, the key is still on the queen's side, you sent some things before, which is very valued by her, it's not that it's unthinkable, but" Wang Duzhi said this, his tone paused, Ding Yingwen quickly took out a handful of paper from his sleeve cage and handed it over.

"I know that I am tired of labor, this is a little meaning, and I am grateful for it after the work is completed."

Wang Du took it knowingly, and touched it in his heart, and immediately had a smile on his face, Ding Yingwen knew him very well, so there must be a way, and the two tacitly picked up the tea and ended the topic.
