Chapter 710: Secret Agent

Shu brocade is also known as Shujiang brocade, one of the four famous brocades in China, originally referred to the color brocade produced in Sichuan, and later became the common name of the brocade produced in various places where the weaving method is like Shu, and it is mostly woven with dyed cooked silk threads, and the flowers are raised with warp threads, and the color stripes are used to add color or color stripes to the flowers, and the method of combining geometric pattern organization and ornamentation is woven into.

According to historical records, Shu brocade originated in the Warring States Period, has a long history, is well-known in China, most of them are colored with warp threads, color stripes are added to flowers, warp and weft are flowered, first color strips and then brocade groups, square, strip, geometric skeleton are added to flowers, symmetrical patterns, quadripartite continuous, bright colors, strong contrast, is a kind of colorful brocade with Han national characteristics and local style.

Chengdu is the hometown of Shu brocade, in 316 BC after the Qin exterminated Shu, then set up "Jinguan City" on the south bank of Chengdu Yili Bridge, and placed "Jinguan" to manage brocade embroidery.

During the Han Dynasty, Chengdu's Shu brocade weaving industry was already very developed, and the imperial court had officials in charge of brocade weaving in Chengdu, so Chengdu was called "Jinguancheng", referred to as "Jincheng"; The Jinjiang River, which surrounds Chengdu, is also named after the many weavers who wash the brocade in it.

Most of the brocade in the warp direction color stripe is based on the color, and the color stripe is icing flowers, its pattern is prosperous, the texture is fine, the color is elegant, unique, it is a kind of colorful brocade with national characteristics and local style, its texture is tough and plump, the pattern style is beautiful, the color is elegant and not bad, such as the pattern of Shu brocade in the Tang Dynasty has lattice flowers, pattern lotus, tortoiseshell flowers, beads, birds, beasts, etc., very rich.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the patterns of Tianxia music, Chang'an bamboo, Fang Sheng, Yi Nan, lion group, and eight answers were added.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the weft brocade of weft flowers was developed, and its patterns and patterns include Qingfeng New Year Brocade, Lantern Flower Brocade, Dribbling, Green Pond Lion, Skylark, and Ruicao Cloud Crane, Hundred Flowers Peacock, Yi Nan Hundred Flowers, Ruyi Peony and so on.

There are many varieties of Shu brocade, and the traditional varieties are rain silk brocade, square brocade, paving brocade, scattered flower brocade, Huanhua brocade, ethnic brocade, color halo brocade and so on.

If you are not a professional, it is difficult to distinguish the types of Shu brocade such as Yusi brocade and Fang Fang brocade, and Li Yuntian accurately said the seven different categories of Shu brocade in one mouth, which is really surprising.

"May I ask this general, are these cloths going to be given away or for personal use?" However, what surprised Zhao Xiangfu was not that Li Yuntian skillfully said the seven categories of Shu Jin, he quickly came back to his senses and asked calmly.

"I was going to take the seventh concubine room, and these Shu brocades were gifts for her." Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and explained seemingly casually.

"It's really unfortunate, now there is no color halo brocade in the shop, do you want to change it to another type of Shu brocade?" Zhao Xiangfu couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyebrows when he heard this, staring at Li Yuntian and asking.

"Don't be so troublesome, good things come in pairs, and replace the national brocade with two horses." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and replied disappreciatively.

"When will the General need this batch of cloth?" Zhao Xiangfu's eyes flashed with a trace of irrepressible excitement, and he asked with a smile on his face.

"General Ben is busy with military affairs, so he will send someone to pick it up in two days." Hearing this, Li Yuntian shook his head to one of the guards standing beside him, "Give him the money." ”

"This is two hundred and thirty-six taels of silver!" The guard then handed over the two heavy money bags to Zhao Fuxiang and said in a deep voice.

"General rest assured, the villain must be ready to prepare the goods properly." After Zhao Xiangfu heard the money count, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, handed the two money bags to the guy next to him, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Yuntian and made a gesture of please, "General, there are some goods in the warehouse of the small store, please go and select samples." ”

Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, followed Zhao Fuxiang to the backyard, and entered the warehouse in the backyard, where Chaganbala and the others and the guys in the store were waiting outside the door.

"Dare to ask what this brother is called?" After Zhao Fuxiang closed the door, he walked quickly to Li Yuntian, who was looking at the rows of cloth on the shelves in the warehouse with great interest, and asked with a smile.

Zhao Xiangfu is Yang Yungui's spy in Daning City, and has a close relationship with Fuyuwei's commander Tongzhi Agudam, and is even more commensurate with Agudam's second son, Hasen.

Just now, Li Yuntian contacted Zhao Xiangfu on the grounds of buying Shu brocade, so Zhao Xiangfu knew that Li Yuntian was his own person sent by Yang Yungui.

"Li Yuntian." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied quietly.

"Brother Li, what does Lord Yang have to explain to ......you" Zhao Xiangfu didn't notice the name Li Yuntian said at first, and asked Li Yuntian with a smile, but soon he realized that something was wrong, his face changed, and he looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, "You are Li ...... Li Yuntian? ”

Others may only know the Marquis of Zhenwu and not Li Yuntian's name, but Zhao Xiangfu, as an undercover agent, especially the secret agent of the Wutang, is very concerned about the affairs of the Wutang, so he naturally knows Li Yuntian's name.

Zhao Xiangfu naturally didn't believe that Li Yuntian came to Daning City in person, but he was still shocked by this name, it stands to reason that if the personnel of the martial arts hall have the same name as Li Yuntian, they should usually avoid changing another name, he doesn't know why the young man in front of him didn't change his name.

"Ben Hou came here this time to see the commander of Fu Yuwei tonight, and Hai Sanan replied, can you make arrangements." Seeing that Zhao Xiangfu was so alert, Li Yuntian couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't want Zhao Xiangfu to think nonsense there, so he said in a deep voice.

"See Hou Ye for your humble duties!" Zhao Xiangfu was stunned at first when he heard this, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to call himself "Ben Hou", and then he reacted, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yuntian, his eyes were full of shock, obviously he didn't expect that Li Yuntian, as the deputy chief soldier of the Ming Army in Liaodong, would come to Daning City alone.

"No courtesy." Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Zhao Xiangfu and said in a deep voice, "This meeting with Hai Sa Nan is very important, you must be cautious and not reveal your deeds." ”

"Hou Ye rest assured, the second son of Hasen, who is the commander of Fu Yuwei and knows Agudamu, is a brother, and if he is led by Hasen, he will be able to meet Haisa Nan and answer the taunt." Zhao Xiangfu got up and thought about it carefully, and said solemnly to Li Yuntian.

"That's very good." Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and said, "This matter will be handed over to you, go and return quickly." ”

Zhao Xiangfu saw that Li Yuntian came in person, so he naturally knew that the matter was important, so he didn't dare to slack off, and after Li Yuntian explained a few words to him, he hurriedly left to find Hasen.

Haisa Nan replied that Xi and Hasen's father Agudamu were brothers, and Agudamu was in charge of the soldiers of Fuyuwei in the military camp in front of Shanhaiguan at this time, otherwise Li Yuntian would have seen Agudamu first.

Soon after, Zhao Xiangfu sent someone to invite Li Yuntian to go to Hasen's mansion, and according to Li Yuntian's plan, Hasen said that Li Yuntian was a servant general who wanted to take refuge in Fuyuwei, which made Hasen very interested in it.

Like Zhao Xiangfu, Hasen is also a pot-bellied man, but he is only in his twenties and lives in a magnificent mansion in Daning City.

After entering the courtyard gate, Li Yuntian keenly found that the decorations in the courtyard and the costumes of the servants were all in accordance with the habits of the Han people, and it was difficult to see the unique style and atmosphere of Mongolia.

Although Hasen has the face and body of a Mongolian, he has been influenced by the life of the Han people since he was a child, and he has long been less accustomed to the Mongols, not only wearing expensive brocade robes but also preferring to eat Liaodong food, which is a result of the integration of the Wuliang Habe Mongols and the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuntian brought some gold, silver and jewelry as a gift, and Hasen accepted it generously without hesitation, and welcomed Li Yuntian's refuge in him very much, and set up a banquet to entertain Li Yuntian, and the two sides would become colleagues in the future.

After three rounds of drinking, when Hassen received the news that Hai Sa Nan Xi had returned home, he ended the banquet and led Li Yuntian to Hai Sa Nan Xi's house, if Li Yuntian could be made to take refuge, then Fu Yuwei's strength would undoubtedly be enhanced.

When Li Yuntian and Hasson arrived, Haisa Nan replied that Xi was already preparing to go to bed, and when he heard that Hasen had something important to say, Haisa Nan replied that Xi put on his clothes again and went to the living room to see Li Yuntian and Hasen, and was very surprised that Hasen brought a servant general to meet him.

After Hasen told Hai Sa Nan that Li Yuntian wanted to take refuge, Hai Sa Nan replied that Xi was suddenly shocked, and looked at Li Yuntian who was sitting quietly on a chair on the side of the living room with a look of astonishment, he really couldn't understand why Li Yuntian did this, it stands to reason that both Tatar and Warat are stronger than Uliangha.

"Uncle, he has more than 5,000 horses under his command, if he can join us, it is a lot of force." Hasen accepted Li Yuntian's benefits, so he naturally wanted to speak to Li Yuntian, and when he saw Hai Sanan's answer, he looked at Li Yuntian intently, so he whispered.

Hai Sanan's brows suddenly frowned slightly when he heard this, how could he not know that taking in Li Yuntian could strengthen the strength of Fu Yuwei, but how could Li Yuntian's team be so easy to accept? Can Tatar and Warat sit back and watch Li Yuntian take refuge in Fuyuwei?

Moreover, Li Yuntian's motives for taking refuge in Fu Yuwei are incomprehensible, and Hai Sanan replied that Xi couldn't understand why Li Yuntian did this, and he couldn't be sure that there was any unknown conspiracy inside.

"General Zhang, why do you want to stay in the bitter cold land of Daning, whether it is Liaodong or Datong, it is more prosperous than it." After pondering for a while, Hai Sanan replied and asked Li Yuntian quietly, "General Zhang" was a code name that Li Yuntian used to cover his identity.

In Hai Sanan's view, Li Yuntian's coming to take refuge this time is not a good thing, but a hot potato, and once it is not handled carefully, it may cause a lot of trouble.

"It's not a secret, although Liaodong and Datong are good, they are not blessed." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said lightly.

"Oh?" Hai Sanan replied that Li Yuntian's answer was a little interesting, so he opened his mouth and asked, "General Zhang, how can you say this?" ”

"Dayuan will lose this war, Liaodong and Datong are still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, if you follow Tatar or Warat, you can only follow them to Mobei at that time." Li Yuntian smiled and said in an orderly manner.

"Since Da Ming has won, wouldn't it be the same if you stay with me and go to Mobei to hide?" Hai Sa Nan replied that Xi Wenyan felt a little interesting, and asked after frowning.

"The commander is different from the Tatars and Warats, the Ming Dynasty has regarded Tainingwei, Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei as the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, even if the commander makes the Lord defeated, then it will not be like treating the Tatars and Warats, and will definitely appease the adults, so that the adults will continue to guard the peace of the Ming border and block the Tatars and Warat from attacking."

Li Yuntian's smile was full of a strange look, and he replied calmly, losing no time in pointing out the essential difference between Uliangha and Tatar and Warat.

Hai Sanan's face changed when he heard this, and there was a trace of surprise in his expression when he looked at Li Yuntian, the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would never call him "Lord Commander", because he, the commander of Fuyuwei, was sealed by the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not recognize it at all, let alone Tainingwei, Fuyuwei and Duoyanwei.

The Mongols called Duoyanwei Uliangha, Tainingwei Wengniut, and Fuyuwei Uqiyette, because Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu Sanwei were mainly composed of Mongols from the Uliangha, Wengniut, and Uqiyat tribes, respectively, rather than Taining, Fuyu, and Duoyan.
