Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 232
No matter when and where it is a war, accurate intelligence is needed as support and guide. Sometimes an accurate intelligence can even instantly determine the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many similar intelligence agencies in various princes. For example, the spies in the Kelaiju tavern were actually intelligence personnel trained by Niu Fu.

It's just that Niu Fujian's intelligence agency is too narrow and can only work near Luoyang, while what Liu Yu wants is to spread the Shadow Guards all over the states and counties.

To form a huge organization all over the country will definitely require a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as a long time.

Liu Yu is not a person who is eager for success. He knows that in order to achieve this goal, he must develop steadily and slowly. If he builds in a hurry and gets some inaccurate information, it will be counterproductive.

The first step in building an intelligence agency is to have qualified intelligence personnel, so Liu Yu decided to start the transformation of the Shadow Guard from training personnel.

As for who to choose to be the commander and instructor of the Shadow Guard, this made Liu Yu hesitate.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei is the most suitable candidate. He has a high mind, is resourceful enough, and understands the tactics of imperial court, but Liu Yu needs him to sit in the court to ensure that after Dong Zhuo is overthrown, he can have more words in the court. Only in this way will it be conducive to the development of various new policies.

Therefore, Liu Bei is not suitable to be the instructor of the Shadow Guard. Apart from him, Jia Xu and Tian Feng both have important responsibilities to guard the city and cannot be easily transferred. Among the remaining advisers, Gu Yong is partial to internal affairs, and Xun Yu has not formally sworn allegiance.

Thinking about it, only Xu Shu is the most suitable.

Xu Shu is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and was born as a knight-errant. He has been in the market all year round, so he can teach the Shadow Guard how to deal with ordinary people and obtain valuable information from the market.

……

The sun was already westward after sending Zhang Da away, but the three daughters of Diao Chan hadn't returned home yet. Although he knew that there were many guards around Dong Bai to protect him, Liu Yu was still a little worried.

Because Dong Bai is a troublemaker, she always wants to come forward to comment and interfere when she sees injustice, but when she sees something she likes, she becomes a little unreasonable and unreasonable.

The three women did not come back after wandering around for so long, maybe Dong Bai made some trouble again.

At this time, Liu Yu happened to be fine, so he planned to meet him in Xishi.

Arriving at the intersection of West Market, Liu Yu was shocked by the bustling scene around him. Since the case of the mysterious rich businessman, the West Market has not been so lively for a long time.

The more Liu Yu walked in, the more people there were. At this time, he saw a large number of onlookers parked in front of a shop.

"Dong Bai likes to be lively, and the three beauties are likely to watch over there."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu squeezed into the crowd, and at this moment he heard the onlookers discussing a very rare object.

glass bottle.

Glass was manufactured at the end of the Han Dynasty, but this thing is an imported product, one of the many new objects introduced from the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The glass products fired with the technology at that time were very rough, and the glass would be doped with many other impurities, but even so, the value of the glass was still very high, and it was prized by many high-ranking officials just like jewelry and jade. favorite.

The toilet water bottle that Liu Yu gave Situ Wang Yun that day was made of glass, but Wang Yun had never seen such a beautifully crafted glass product without any impurities, so he mistakenly thought it was made of natural colored glaze and cherished it.

It's a pity that Wang Yun only admired it for half the night, so he had to give it away.

Because Liu Yu forcibly took Diao Chan away, Wang Yun's serial plan failed, but Dong Zhuo was already on the way, and when Wang Yun asked someone to invite Dong Zhuo, he also informed in advance that he would "offer a treasure".

Wang Yun had no choice but to dedicate the "flower dew water" to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo liked the bottle very much, but he didn't like the fragrance inside. When he returned to Yong'an Palace, he happened to meet his granddaughter Dong Bai, so he gave her the bottle of toilet water as a gift.

All these things happened after Liu Yu left Situ's Mansion. At that time, Liu Yu was at home with Diao Chan, so he didn't know that the toilet water he gave had passed into Dong Bai's hands several times.

At this moment, Liu Yu was crowded in the crowd and heard everyone talking about the exquisite glass bottle, so he thought that Situ Mansion was selling that bottle of toilet water here.

It wasn't until someone mentioned the Hu merchants of the Western Regions that he gave up his previous thoughts.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the west of Liangzhou was called the Western Regions, and no matter whether they were from the Western Regions or the nomads in the north, they were all called Hu people by the Han people.

So sometimes merchants from the Western Regions are also called Hu merchants.

"It turns out that there are merchants from the Western Regions setting up a stall here, no wonder there are so many onlookers!" Liu Yu felt that the glass products at this time did not look good at all, and the three beauties should not be interested in it.

So Liu Yu planned to look for it in another place, but just when he turned around, he heard Dong Bai's scolding voice.

"You are called crystal clear? The inside looks full of impurities. It is obvious that you have come to my big man's trap to get abducted, and you have the audacity to call yourself the supreme treasure of the peace nobles!"

Liu Yu sighed in his heart when he heard the words, Dong Bai really caused trouble!
Rest in peace nobles?Could it be the Parthian dynasty?

Throughout the world, there are three super empires that coexist with the Han Dynasty, Rome, Anxi, and Guishuang.

Among them, the Guishuang Dynasty was connected to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, and the Parthia Dynasty was in the Arabian Peninsula.

These two dynasties have the strength to compete with the great Han, but in Liu Yu's memory, these two dynasties did not send troops to attack because of the weakness of the late Han court.

It's just that it is necessary to be cautious. Liu Yu's time travel has already caused a butterfly effect. Whether it will affect the countries in the Western Regions, Liu Yu himself is not sure.

Hearing Dong Bai's voice, Liu Yu had no choice but to turn around and squeeze into the crowd again.

Because Dong Bai, Diao Chan, and Zou Huimin are all beauties with rare beauty, and the "exotic clothes" they wear are particularly eye-catching.

So when the three beauties Dong Bai had a dispute with a barbarian from the Western Regions, it immediately attracted more people to watch.

This made it very difficult for Liu Yu to squeeze to the front row. Fortunately, he was tall, so he could see the situation inside clearly by pushing forward a few steps.

I saw a temporary stall next to the door of a jade shop.

In front of this temporary stall, Dong Bai was arguing with a strange-looking bearded man, Zou Huimin stood by with his waist in the side, and Diao Chan carefully hid behind her.

"This beautiful little girl, I, Kaparin, am not a liar, but an... important member of the Kalin family."

The businessman from the Western Regions named Kapalin was talking, and at the same time, he took out a fairly well-made glass bottle and displayed it in front of the crowd.

"The glass bottle brought by me, Kapalin, is the most valuable item in the Kalin family property. Dear Luoyang people, do you know why?"

The onlookers looked longingly at the glass bottle in the hands of the Western Regions man, then shook their heads blankly.

"Because this is not an ordinary glass bottle, it contains even more precious...perfume!"

Hearing the word "perfume", Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, thinking that this man from the Western Regions named Kaparin is really good at business, he can not only make stunts, but also know how to bundle sales.

Selling glass bottles alone may only attract the attention of rich people, but bundling "perfume" can attract many beautiful women to join the buying ranks.

This alone made Liu Yu look up at him a few times.
