Chapter 340: Tucheng in the Western Regions

The two of them made a plan, which means that as long as two people form a relationship, there is a breeding ground for conspiracy. In a large country as a whole, conspiracy appears to be everywhere. Liu Yu just proposed the idea of ​​an alliance. He did not expect Song Chu's reaction to be so great.

Liu Yuxin said, could Song Chu be instructed to test the authenticity of this messenger? If it is fake, it will be exposed and win over it?

"Brother Song, since you don't believe in the identity of this envoy, then some of the envoys might as well say something." Liu Yu said seriously, "I am on the order of the Emperor of the Dashun Dynasty. I came to the Western Regions to discuss joint troops to resist the Turks with the countries in the Western Regions, and seek for the sake of the country, without seeking personal gain. I didn't expect anyone would come from thousands of miles to pretend to be an envoy of the Shun Dynasty. This was not good. What's more, the envoy was dealing with a smart person. I think Brother Song should understand the envoy's position."

Liu Yu's words were a bit high-sounding, but he still couldn't come up with evidence to prove that he was an envoy. However, perhaps because Liu Yu had just proposed the idea of ​​an alliance, Song Chu was not in a hurry to determine the authenticity of Liu Yu's envoy's identity, and hesitated and seemed to be considering it.

The position Liu Yu said is definitely whoever supports him will support him. If the identity of Liu Yu is true, it also means that behind Liu Yu will be the powerful Dashun court who had just defeated the Turks. Being able to form an alliance with the Dashun Dynasty will be beneficial to the general of the Forged and even the Yuezhi Kingdom dominating the Western Regions.

Even if Liu Yu is a false envoy, as long as no one can confirm it, the prodigal who made friends with the "Shun Dynasty envoy" first took the political initiative and suppressed the momentum of another general.

Song Chu was silent for a while, and ordered Moro and others to leave, leaving only Liu Yu in the room. Then he asked, "I don't know what position the emperor is in Shunchao?"

"The Ministry of Rites and the Censorate of the Censorate."

Song Chu said in confusion: "The official of the Ministry of Rites has a low official rank. One is the position of the Ministry of Rites and the other is the Censorate. How could you let both of you be together?"

Liu Yu had already prepared his remarks. The identity he quoted was indeed profitable in the court, not his fiction.

"Brother Song may not know that Shunchao had just quelled the civil strife of the rebellious king at the beginning of this year. He was the first to be a military officer, and he was a member of the Ministry of Rites, and he was a member of the army. He was a mission again. He was promoted to the official position. From the sixth rank to the fourth rank. However, because the officials of the Ministry of Rites have high qualifications, the official position in the Ministry of Rites is still in its original position. The position of the Censor of the State is just a false position."

Liu Yu said it very well. Song Chu, who had no idea about the Central Plains officialdom, could not find any fault at all. Instead, he felt that Liu Yu was becoming more and more like the real one. Song Chu asked again: "When and where did that master set out?"

"I came out of Chang'an on March 1st this year. There were 26 followers."

Song Chu suddenly sneered: "On March 1st? As far as I know, in the middle of March, the civil strife in Shun Dynasty had just subsided, and the Emperor of Shun Dynasty had not yet returned to the court."

In order to highlight the danger of his trip, Liu Yu advanced the time to the first day of March and increased the time spent on his journey. He did not expect that the Yuezhi Kingdom, which was far away in the sky, would be so familiar with the situation in the Central Plains.

"That's right. Although I was sent to the Western Regions under the order of the Emperor, I personally gave the letter of appointment. Liu Wenyan, the vanguard general of the Dashun Dynasty. I followed General Liu to return to Chang'an City in advance."

When Liu Yu mentioned Liu Wenyan, Song Chu felt a little relieved, and he seemed to feel that things were natural again.

"Is it Liu Wenyan who sent you to the Western Regions?"

“That’s right.”

Song Chu received a positive answer, and the questions in his heart seemed to be fully resolved. Liu Yu guessed that he probably used the situation of the Yuezhi Kingdom to figure out the Central Plains. After all, "Liu Wenyan" was also a powerful "general" in the Central Plains. He should have the privilege of surpassing the emperor in formulating military and national affairs. If this matter was placed in another country, it might not be credible. The envoy who sent another country would be granted the order by a subordinate?

Song Chu did not ask about the authenticity of the messenger and interrogated in detail. He seemed to have accepted Liu Yu's true identity, asked about the situation in the Central Plains, and asked about Liu Wenyan's situation. Liu Yu naturally had a very detailed answer, making Song Chu nod continuously. Finally, Song Chu stood up and said that he would welcome him in the capital of Yuezhi.

After seeing off Song Chu, Liu Yu thought about it carefully and felt that this person was not simple.

Originally, Song Chu had a very bad attitude towards Liu Yu, but when Liu Yu expressed some plausible "positions", he immediately changed his attitude and even ignored his identity. He was not in a hurry to show his idea of ​​forming an alliance. This made Liu Yu feel that the general behind Song Chu and Song Chu should be very good at playing tricks and have to be careful!

He felt that Song Chu would come to him, and even bring some intentions of a general who was promising. Before he entered the capital of Yuezhi, he had already chosen his "standard" and offended another general.

After successfully passing the identity issue, Moro, who had been worried about changes in things, was very happy. Moro specially asked the caravans to take out wine and meat from the goods to entertain Liu Yu. During the meal, he kept laughing and ate a few bites. The soldiers from the Yuezhi Kingdom came in and urged them to rush to the Yuezhi capital Huabuduo as soon as possible.

Moro was very humble and immediately asked his subordinates to pack up their things.

Liu Yu went out and remembered that the little beggar had not eaten yet, so he brought a piece of lamb leg meat to her. The little beggar sat in the carriage in a daze. He took Liu Yu's meat and ate it twice without saying anything. Suddenly he leaned out and looked at Liu Yu who was looking around, and said, "Can you help me ask me about the current situation of Kucha?"

Liu Yu sighed helplessly and asked, "Can you drive the Khra people away alone?"

The little beggar shook his head.

"Then let go. Think about the better things. When you arrive at the capital of Yuezhi Kingdom, you will naturally find out clearly. Let your heart be back in your stomach!"

The caravans headed southeastward, and many places they walked were Gobi Deserts. Only by walking a long way could you see a little house. There were not many places with grasslands. If you continued like this, it would be like walking into a desert. Liu Yu thought that it was not easy to live a wealthy country with a vast land and sparse population and a harsh ecology.

The sun is more than halfway to the west, and the capital of Yuezhi Kingdom has also arrived. You can see the towering Tucheng walls from afar, which are more than twice as tall as the walls of Coco Pass, and you can even see the towering castles in the city. Just like ancient Western buildings.

"Red, red, green, so beautiful!" Jason had also walked through many places. He was amazed when he saw the flower buds and the city of Flower Bibles surrounded by green trees and grasslands, and the castle painted red on the top.

Such a desert city, standing here, seems to be a treasure of the Gobi Desert. Liu Yu thought about it and said that it would be very profitable to do water business in the city.

When he arrived in the city, the citizens walking slowly on the streets were full of goods. It was very different from the Yuezhi people who were underdeveloped in the market that Moro said. After Liu Yu looked carefully, he realized that these people were really using shells to do coins for business, which was almost worthless in other countries.

When they arrived in the city, the group was arranged in a big mansion. The guards at the door were heavily guarded, as if they were a prison cell. The Yuezhi people found an official who knew Zhongyuanyu to come to entertain them. The man was just a little good at speaking Zhongyuanyu and was a Yuezhi people.

When asked when we would go to the palace to meet the king and general, the official said impatiently: "Our Malaysian general has set out for war. The king will not see you!"

The Malaysian general went to war?

Liu Yu thought about the meaning of this sentence. This Malaysia should be the second general of the Yuezhi Kingdom who was fighting with the Dark. Liu Yu judged from the dialogue with Song Chu that the Dark should not go to war. In other words, if the Yuezhi Kingdom discusses some military and national affairs, or wants to meet the envoys of other countries, the king and two generals must be present at the same time. It has a bit of a parliamentary system.

"When will the Malaysian general come back?" Liu Yu asked.

"It's hard to say this, three days, five nights... who can say it accurately? Let's see when the Khra people retreated!"

Liu Yu nodded. It seemed that the Malaysian general was going to the border to prevent the Khwarezmians from invading their Yuezhi Kingdom. The Yuezhi Kingdom was not big at first. If the Khwarezmians retreated, the Malaysian general should have come back soon.

"Then can we go out for a walk and see the living conditions of your Yuezhi people?" Liu Yu asked again.

"You can, they can't!" The official pointed at Moro and his entourage behind Liu Yu, "They are profiteers. Our Yuezhi Kingdom has never welcomed profiteers! They are all big liars!"

Moro shrank his head angrily, as if admitting that he was a liar.

"What about her?" Liu Yu pointed at the little beggar who had put on local clothes.

"This...you can do whatever you want, I don't know, as long as you don't run around. If you want to go out, our soldiers must follow you. If you get lost, I will regard you as spies sent by other countries!"

Liu Yu understood that although he did not restrict his freedom, Yuezhi soldiers must follow him or monitor him when entering and leaving.

It doesn't matter. Liu Yuxin said that he just didn't want to stay bored in this dilapidated inn, and wanted to go out to walk on the street to see the exotic style, but he didn't want to do any espionage.

After the officials left, Moro was nervous, as if he was anxious as if he fell into a wolf's nest and couldn't get out. After waiting for a day, the next morning, Liu Yu had enough rest and told the soldiers that he was going to go to the city to check.

"I'll go too!" Liu Yu was about to follow the soldiers when the little beggar suddenly jumped out and said.

Liu Yu glanced at her and thought to himself that the little beggar was in the grief of bereavement, so he took her out for a walk as if he was relaxing.

When Liu Yu came out, the little beggar suddenly looked for an opportunity and walked over and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to escape?"

Liu Yu was stunned and asked, "Why should I escape?"

"Because you are a slander, you are afraid of being exposed, so you find a way to slip away. They know that they will definitely kill us, so I won't be so stupid to stay there and wait for death!"

Liu Yuxin said that this little beggar was quite sloppy, but she used the wrong place to use it, not to guard against those in danger around her, but to guard against him as a "good old man". In Liu Yu's heart, he was the messenger of justice, the evil enemy, and the saint who never did bad things.

"Whatever!"

Liu Yu was too lazy to explain to her that the Qing Dynasty would be the Qing Dynasty. He also wanted to rely on his envoy to get help from the Western Regions countries and return to the Central Plains. Wouldn't you want to wander again when you walk like this? If you become a savage in the Gobi Desert, you will not be far from death.

Huaguduo City is not small, but not big. It cannot be compared with Chang'an City, but it is even larger than the county towns and even county towns in the Central Plains. The main color of the city is yellow, and most buildings seem to be cultivated with soil, which is exposed to the wind and sun. It is very common for the house to lack a corner and multiple pits. It feels like a hammer can collapse a city.

The residents were all wearing simple clothes made of thick cloth, like bed sheets on their bodies, and like pajamas, both men and women. Perhaps Liu Yu was used to the beauty of the Central Plains women. He always felt that the Yuezhi women he saw on the street were all big and thick tomboys.

Later, Liu Yu learned that Yuezhi women were not allowed to go to the streets during the day when they were less than 30 years old, otherwise they would be a serious crime and would be exiled to serve as soldiers.

Let’s find out what the average life expectancy of Yuezhi women is? At 35 years old. Liu Yu couldn’t help but sigh that it was not easy for the “old woman” who was about to fall into the soil for 30 years to have such a look.

After walking for a while, Liu Yu suddenly stopped because in this foreign city, he saw a few Chinese characters with the words "mutton restaurant" written on it. Liu Yu couldn't help but walk in. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
