Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Then what do I need to do?" asked Tulzahus.

"The Jinren gave the latest news. The Central Plains people built a city by the Yellow River south of Yinshan Mountain, where they hoarded a large amount of grain, salt and tea. It is the closest to your Kelei Department. You can send a team first. Go test the enemy."

"It's okay. All my cavalry regiments are warriors. It shouldn't be a big problem to hit the people in the Central Plains. As for the tea you mentioned, what is it?"

Chapter 1185 The Wind Rises from Mobei (Second Change)

Grassland people have no resistance to tea. Huer Zhahusi tasted the taste of tea for the first time at my Bahai, just like a teenager tasted the taste of a woman for the first time.

On the 13rd of the first month of the 23th year of Jingkang, at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Lu You took a sip of water before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The climate in the northern fortress, he, who is from the south of the Yangtze River, really can't bear it.

But he still endured it.

"Is the little official okay?" Liu Yi asked.

"I'm fine." Lu You pointed to the front and said, "The ruins of the abandoned ancient city in front are Baidao City built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Jinren's Yunnei Prefecture is 150 miles southwest of this place."

"Then Baidao City has been extinct for hundreds of years, how did the petty officials know about it?" Liu Yi asked curiously.

Lu You said: "I read in the book that at the southern foot of the Yin Mountain and north of the Dahei River is Baidao City, which was built to defend against the Rouran Ministry."

This place was indeed a strategically important place at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the Guihua City of the Tumed Department, which was later Hohhot.

"Although they have fallen, there are quite a few merchants," Liu Yi said.

Everyone went forward all the way.

This is the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, but after the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties, merchants from the Song Dynasty appeared in this area one after another, and merchants from the Kingdom of Jin also started to move around one after another.

Lu You asked Kamaqin who was accompanying him: "Besides you Wangu people who will trade in this area, who else will come here?"

Kamachin said: "People from the Kret department will often transport some things to this place."

Liu Yi asked suspiciously, "Ministry of Kret?"

"It's the Mughals living in Mobei, you Central Plains people call them Tatars."

Da Song knew very little about the situation in Mobei, so it's not surprising that they hadn't heard of it.

Even a well-read person like Lu You has never heard of it, let alone Liu Yi.

"This Kelei tribe is the Tatar that Alahushi said he could make friends with?" Lu You said.

"Yes, that's them."

"What specialties do they have?"

Kamaqin said: "They fought extremely bravely. The current leader is Huerzahusi, a very wise man. He led his army and defeated other tribes in the grassland. He controlled a wide area, a prosperous population, and great strength. Strong."

Lu You asked, "Compared to Jin Jun?"

"The Jin army cannot win a big victory in Mobei, and can only rely on the Tataer and Miqier tribes to check and balance the various tribes in Mobei. The Kelei and Tatar tribes are sworn enemies."

"In this way, there is no room for relaxation between the Kelei Ministry and the Jinren?"

"That's not true. The Jin people don't offend the Kret department inexplicably. They usually focus on appeasement." Kamaqin pointed to the front and said, "The old city in front is full of businessmen from the Kret department. The Jin people Acquiesce to their deal."

"Let's go and have a look."

Liu Yi led the people all the way to the front.

Not long after, it attracted the attention of many people.

There is no other reason. This team is not small, with a total of six to seven hundred people, and most of them are on horseback. They also bring an extra horse, and a lot of goods are placed behind the extra horse.

There is a Silk Road in the grassland, which is called the grassland silk road.

There are many caravans on the grassland, but with 700 people, it is definitely a big caravan.

In the northern part of the old city, there is a dilapidated house. Although it is dilapidated, there are many caravans around it.

There are Khitan people carrying their knives, and Han people are leading mules and carrying silk, and you can also see Bohai people carrying some handicrafts on their backs.

Of course, the Tatars from Mobei are indispensable.

Some of these people carried animal furs, while others drove many sheep.

Mobei animal husbandry is very developed, and there are also a large number of pastures at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

With the end of the war and the recovery of Xixia, the price of mutton in Bianjing fell to two hundred yuan per catty.

And the price of mutton here is actually [-] Wen per catty.

For grassland people, as long as they don't encounter harsh natural disasters, cattle and sheep live in flocks.

But they need other living materials, such as cloth, shoes, etc., which are undoubtedly better than the Central Plains people and Bohai people.

There is also a market for the handicrafts of the Central Plains in the grasslands, and some nobles will exchange more cattle and sheep for these handicrafts.

A man wrapped in mink came to the back of the house.

"Uzda."

"Galiba, what wind brought you here!" The man who spoke was a muscular man named Uzhda, a well-known Kelie businessman in the old city.

Galiba said, "I have something very important to tell you this time."

"What's the matter?"

Galiba said in a low voice: "The Qiyan tribe found our leader some time ago, and let us go south to fight the Song people. You are very familiar with this place. I heard that the Anbei City of the Song people is not far from here. The leader sent me here. Ask you."

Wu Rida asked in surprise, "Why did you beat the Song people?"

"The Jin people are now working as lobbyists in various ministries of the grassland, and they want to unite the ministries of the grassland to go south. The leader wants to test the situation first, and do it first, and he will definitely get the best part."

Wu Rida said: "I have heard a little about Song people. There are many Han people here, including Han people from Jin State and Song State. They occasionally mention some things in the Central Plains. The Central Plains is indeed prosperous. I heard that the cities are connected. In the city, there is endless food, endless wine, and countless beautiful women dressed in colorful silk, who can sing and dance well.”

"So we have to try it first."

"The Song people built a big city by the Yellow River. Since last year, Han people have frequently come from there to do business."

"How about sending troops to attack that city now?"

"I don't think there is any need to be so impatient." Wu Rida said, "If the leader really wants to take over the Song people's city, you can try this method."

"any solution?"

"Now there are many Song people coming to us with their goods. We only need to send troops to rob all the goods of the Song people. It will definitely alarm the Song army in Anbei City, but this is the site of the Jin army in name, although the Jin army is not very good. Regardless of this, if a large number of Song troops come in, the Jin army will not sit idly by." Wu Rida said.

He continued: "If there is a confrontation between Song and Jin, it will inevitably cause more Song troops to be dispatched from Anbei City. The Song army has no idea that our Kelie department will send troops, nor will they know our specific strength. At that time, we can It is better to send troops to attack the Song army than to directly attack Anbei City."

"But the leader wants to completely take down Anbei City."

"It's simple. If the Song army can be successfully raided, the Song army will definitely dispatch more soldiers and horses, because based on what I have learned so far, the Song people want to build a commercial road in the south and north of Yinshan Mountain. As long as the Song army dispatches More soldiers and horses, continue to raid! Such a waste of the Song army, suppressing the morale of the Song people, and then attacking Anbei City at the end, will get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Wonderful!" Galiba couldn't help but praised.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Uzhda, Kamaqin is looking for you."

Chapter 1186 Yue Fei: This is Your Excellency's own death! (third change)

"Makaqin?" Uzda was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it rumored that he was captured by Song people?"

"I don't know, he is indeed outside now, and he brought a large caravan, saying that he has a big deal with you."

"What big caravan? The Wang Gu people still have a big caravan?"

"No, those seem to be Han Chinese."

Uzda and Galiba looked at each other.

Gariba said in a low voice, "Test the situation first. I have brought hundreds of people with me. If we lay an ambush, it won't be a big problem."

Uzhda and Galiba went out and met Kamaqin at the door.

"Kamachin, what brought you to my place?" Uzhda was very enthusiastic.

"I have some big business to discuss with you."

Wu Rida glanced at Lu You, Liu Yi, and others beside Makaqin.

"these are?"

"These are my friends," Makachin said.

Galiba looked again, good guy, there are many people here!

"What business?"

"It's tea!"

"Tea?" Uzda immediately regained his spirits.

Tea is the newcomer to the Yinshan trade, much more popular than mutton.

"How many tea leaves?"

"One thousand catties!"

"One thousand catties?" Uzda jumped up on the spot, "Where is it?"

"Right in front of your eyes."

Uzda's gaze immediately shifted to those horses' backs.

"Take out the goods and let me see."

"Don't worry." Makaqin said, "One thousand catties is not much. If the business is done well, I will give you as much as you want in the future."

"really?"

"Exactly!"

"Please!" Uzhda gestured for them to invite inside.

But Ma Kachin said: "This way please!"

Uzda was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

Everyone sat down at a stone table in the open space outside the house.

"This little official is called Lu You. He is the head of our caravan. He owns all the tea. He is from the south of the Yangtze River. There are countless tea leaves there."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Lu You.

Lu You said, "I heard that you are from Kelei?"

Macachin translated for them.

"Yes, I am a Kree."

Lu You said: "Let's make a long story short, I'm here this time to do tea business with the Kelei Department in the north."

"Why do you do business with Kret's Ministry?"

"Because we want to build a friendship with the Ministry of Kled."

Uzda laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, did I hear correctly?"

"You heard that right."

"You are a Han Chinese, and you are a Han Chinese in the Central Plains. You are thousands of miles away from our Mobei grassland. You want to establish a friendship with us. Why?"

"If you have some questions, don't ask too much at your level. How much tea do you want? We will satisfy your personal request. You can help us match up. We will meet the leader of the Kelei Department, and we will not treat you badly in the future."

"Okay, at such a young age, you can talk freely." Uzda also said readily, "Give me all your thousand catties of tea, and I will help you settle the matter of contacting the leader of the Kelie Department."

"it is good."

After Lu You gave a signal, someone began to unload the goods, took out a thousand catties of tea leaves, and placed them in front of Wu Rida.

Uzda opened it and sniffed it, and suddenly his face showed surprise, and he said, "Okay, this matter is on me."

After the brief exchange between the two parties ended, Lu You and Liu Yi took their people and found a place to settle down first.

After returning, Galiba said: "These people must have brought more tea, why not kill them at night and grab all the tea!"

"I don't think so. Didn't you hear that, as long as we introduce them to the leader, there will be more tea leaves in the future, which is good for our Ministry of Creed."

Galiba said: "Wuzida, you should take a longer view, can these teas satisfy you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The chief united with the Qiyan Department, together with the Jin Army, and the Tataer Department, and went south together. As long as we hit the Central Plains, we can have as much tea as you want. There are countless beauties, countless silks, and countless gold and silver. Treasure!"
