Liu Yu looked at Huangfu Fu, who was already deep in thought, and then said: "General Huangfu, I don't want to get involved in your Han people's affairs, but my industry and goods are all in Chang'an. I have to rush back to get them." Deal with it as soon as possible, don't let the war continue all the time, in the end I won't have anything left. If we want to win Guanzhong, your Huan family should have the best chance, because it's the closest, right?"
Huan Zhen curled his lips: "Well, I'm afraid this won't be that easy. My eldest father is seriously ill now. We..."
Liu Yu pretended to be surprised: "Eh? What happened to Governor Huan?"
Huangfu Fu immediately interrupted Huan Zhen's words and said: "My Lord Governor is in good health. He is currently sitting in the Longmen area outside Luoyang, directing the siege of Luoyang. What Mr. Zhen just meant is that my lord has been busy with the military recently, and occasionally Ran is a little sick, it’s okay now.”
Huan Zhen realized that he had made a big mistake. He leaked the news about his grandfather's serious illness in front of the two Hu merchants. He was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He quickly said: "Yes, just as General Huangfu said, Luoyang If it is not conquered, how could my grandfather return to the army? Abbas, Temujin, your information is very useful. I think you should report it to my eldest father in person (my grandfather was called eldest father during the two Jin Dynasties), and he will That’s the decision.”
Liu Yu laughed and said, "No problem. The Xie family asked me to send a message to Governor Huan at my convenience. Anyway, things in Guanzhong are not urgent for a day or two. General Huangfu, Mr. Huan, how about we set off now?" Well, I really want to discuss the matter of conquering Guanzhong with Governor Huan. As long as our company's rights in Guanzhong can be guaranteed in the future, I will be happy to cooperate with Governor Huan."
Huan Zhen didn't expect that Liu Yu would actually hit the snake on the stick and use his own words to want to see Huan Chong. His heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and like a hundred cats scratching his heart, he blurted out: "No, it's too big now." Father will not see you."
Murong Lan also pretended to be surprised: "Is there any problem? Why can't Governor Huan see us now? Could it be because his illness hasn't healed yet?"
Huangfu coughed twice, his eyes fell on the ground, and suddenly he saw the soil covering the city moat. He had an idea and said: "Actually, there is no other reason. Mr. Abbas, didn't you just say that here When you came, the body had been rotting for many days, is there any possibility of an epidemic?"
Liu Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's it. Didn't you see that there is black water flowing in the ditch of the city, and there are corpse insects. If these corpses are not burned and covered up in time, I'm afraid there will be no more than three people." By the end of the day, a great epidemic will begin. The hundreds of people in the city will bear the brunt, and most of them will die within a few days. The living people will run around in order to survive. No matter who they come into contact with, they will treat this terrible plague. It is contagious, so those of us who are doing business are also afraid that the plague will find us, so we ask the Wang brothers to find the people in the city and work together to dispose of these corpses."
Huangfu Fu had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind and nodded: "However, after all, the corpse has been rotting for so long. No one can say whether there is a plague or not. We will not take those civilians back to the military camp, we will only hand them over. Let the local officials arrange it, but if you two go to see the lord in person, given his recovering illness, if there is any plague on you, it will be a big deal, so it is not appropriate for you to go to see the lord now, do you understand? "
Liu Yu curled his lips and pretended to be disappointed: "That's it, that's a pity. Otherwise, we go back with you and wait a few more days to try?"
Huangfu shook his head: "Abbas, don't you want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible? Don't you want to rectify your family's industries and businesses?"
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Chang'an is now in chaos. It doesn't make any difference if we go back a few days earlier or later. We have to wait and see now to see who might capture Chang'an and then temporarily cooperate with him. Of course, except for Fu Jian , other barbarians cannot gain a foothold in Guanzhong for a long time, and in the end it will be your Jin army that enters Guanzhong. Then you can rest assured, as long as I have negotiated terms with your lord, I will definitely help you pacify Guanzhong."
Huan Zhen sneered: "Aren't you helping the Xie family? Why are you turning against us again now?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Master Huan, please remember that I am a businessman, and businessmen must always seek the best interests for themselves. I cooperated with the Xie family and resold them a batch of Qin's military rations because I needed the Xie family help, especially this token, in order to save their lives. As for going to Guanzhong to cause trouble, those are just digressions and cannot be counted. It is impossible for the Xie family's Beifu Army to break into Guanzhong so quickly. If there is any If a Jin army can enter Guanzhong, it will naturally be your Jingzhou Huan clan, so if I don't talk to you about Guanzhong, who can I talk to?"
Murong Lan followed up and said: "Yes, it's a pity that your lord has just recovered from illness and wants to besiege Luoyang again. I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of Guanzhong. This matter will have to be discussed later, but don't worry, after we return to Chang'an, Someone will be sent to contact you as soon as possible."
Huangfu Fu frowned: "In that case, we have to exchange some tokens."
Liu Yu smiled and threw the Beifu Army token in his hand to Huangfu Fu: "General Huangfu, this is my token. Anyway, we have already left the territory of the Beifu Army long ago. It is useless to ask for this thing. If you send someone here in the future, Chang'an, just let them take this and go to the Western Region Arabaha Trading Company to find my brothers Abbas and Temujin."
Huangfu Fu murmured: "Western Region Alabaha Trading Company? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "In the past, we mainly did business in the Liangzhou area. We rarely went to the hinterland of the Central Plains. We only went to Chang'an in the past two years. Is General Huangfu familiar with Chang'an?"
Huangfu shook his head: "No, that's the capital of an enemy country. How could I be familiar with it? It's just that I haven't heard the name of this trading company that much. Forget it, please accept this." He said, taking off a piece from his waist. The token was thrown to Liu Yu. Liu Yu took it and took a closer look. It was also a well-made rosewood token with the word Huangfu engraved on it and the pattern of a bear and tiger on the back. Huangfu said solemnly, "This is The token is my military order belt. Seeing the token is like seeing me, Huangfu Fu. If you want to come to Jingzhou to contact us in the future, whether it is to Xiangyang or Jiangling, as long as you show this token, someone will naturally take you to see my lord. "
