Wan Yan Chang was preparing for the attack on the Song Dynasty, and he did not relax his attention to Mongolia at the same time. [ 八一 (Chinese?[?) [ ]］]．] 8〉1]Z]] .COM However, Daikin has not paid much attention to collecting information from the grasslands, and in the short term, it has not been able to establish an effective intelligence collection agency, so for the past three months, he still has no idea about the situation on the grasslands.

Seeing this, Zhe Xiyan offered advice to Wanyan Changzhi: "Left-behind adults, in fact, it is not difficult to know the news of Mongolia, Ju Beizhi knows, there are many businessmen in Dading Mansion, often go to Mobei to do business with those Tartars, they should know the situation in Mobei very well now, adults do not visit a few such businessmen to ask." ”

Wanyan Changzhi listened, his eyes lit up, what Zhi Xiyan said was right, Beijing Road is not far from Mobei, and there is the Northwest Road Recruitment Division in the middle, and the Tatars generally can't beat it, and some merchants often carry grain, cloth, pig iron, tea, utensils and other things that all the departments of the grassland need, to exchange horses, livestock, animal skins, and even slaves with them. Recently, the three forces of Wang Han, Zamuhe, and Temujin restrained each other, and they did not dare to plunder the northern border of Dajin, so that the northern border of Dajin was very peaceful, and trade was very frequent. The merchants must have known about what was born on the grassland.

So he finished his face and said: "Lord Zhe, then I bother you to find a few people who often go to Mobei to do business, I want to ask them." ”

Zhe Xiyan was overjoyed, hurriedly agreed, and went down to find someone. In fact, this kind of thing does not need him to do it personally, but since Wanyan Changzhi came to Dading Mansion, the officials up and down are all in danger, although Zhe Xiyan is the same governor of Dading Mansion, second only to Wanyan Changzhi on the North Road, his position even Wanyan Changzhi has no right to be arbitrarily replaced, and can only write to the emperor to impeach.

However, Zhe Xiyan is also an old fritter who has been mixed in officialdom for more than ten years, and knows that generally speaking, there is a contradiction between the deputy position and the main official in the local area, and the imperial court will generally remove the deputy post to appease the main official. Of course, if the deputy officials have a strong backing and deep roots, then it is another matter. However, Zhe Xiyan knows that although he has a few backers in the court, he can't compare with Wanyan Changzhi, he himself is a disciple of the clan, he is the son of the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi, and he has countless outstanding military exploits.

Therefore, during this time, Zhe Xiyan was also trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear that he would not do a good job there, and he would be grabbed by Wanyan Changzhi and take a copy of himself from the emperor, and he would not be able to keep his official position. Now that he saw that Yan Changzhi accepted his idea, he was naturally very happy, so when Yan Changzhi wanted to find someone, he didn't dare to slack off, and he immediately went to find it himself.

Sure enough, people want to force it, and horses want to ride. Under the heavy pressure, the efficiency of Zhe Xiyan's work was also greatly improved, and the next day he handed over the list of three businessmen who went to Mongolia to do business.

Wan Yan Changzhi looked at the list, Lin Yonggen, Chen Guozhi, Zhang Hu. Slightly stunned, he said, "Zhang Hu." I thought to myself, could it be the young man I met on the way to Zhongdu? But at that time, this man looked like an elegant scribe, how could he also be a merchant?

Seeing that he mentioned Zhang Hu's name, Zhe Xiyan thought he was asking himself, but fortunately, he had done a good job, and said: "My lord, this Zhang Hu is not an ordinary businessman, he is not very old, less than thirty years old, and he has only been doing business in Beijing for five or six years, but he has made more money than others who have been doing business for decades, and now he is one of the few big businessmen in Beijing." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, so it seemed that Shiyou** was the person he had met, and he wanted to see him, so he said: "Lord Zhe, you can invite this Zhang Hu to meet first." ”

Zhe Xiyan nodded and went down immediately. After a while, he really led a person to come, and when he saw that it was the young man he had met on a snowy day, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Zhang, I didn't expect to see each other again here." ”

Zhang Hu was also a little shocked when he saw Yan Changzhi, but he didn't dare to recognize him, after hearing Yan Changzhi say this, he immediately understood, the person he met that day, he didn't expect that it was this for the garrison, he was busy clasping his fists with both hands, and said deeply: "I didn't expect it to be the garrison adult, and I was polite."

Wanyan Changzhi got up from his seat, and said with his hands: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to be so polite, although you and I met in Pingshui, but when we met at first sight, this is not for official business, and we can't talk about official positions." Let's make friends with each other. ”

Zhang Hu was also not polite, and said: "Since this is the case, then Brother Wanyan will not be polite below." ”

Zhe Xiyan listened, and then he understood, it turned out that these two people knew each other, and it seemed that he had done another thing that made Wanyan Changzhi happy, since people talked about the past, he was not good at sparing, and got up and said: "Lord Wanyan, Mr. Zhang, since you have known each other, it is great, and you will not be spared here, and you will retire first." ”

After Fold Xiyan left, Zhang Hu said: "Brother Wanyan, you won't come to me to talk about the past, right?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with a smile: "Naturally not, I just wanted to find a businessman who is familiar with the situation in Mobei and ask some things, but I didn't expect to find you, Brother Zhang, wouldn't it be providence." ”

Zhang Hu also smiled: "I often go to Mobei to do business, if I ask about Mobei, I know a little bit about it, I don't know what Brother Yan wants to ask?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "I heard that Wang Han and Temujin have recently joined forces to attack Naiman, and Brother Zhang doesn't know the details of this. ”

Zhang Hu nodded, and how Wang Han and Temujin joined forces to attack Naiman this time, and how they split at the Bayidara Black Pass in Hangai Mountain, and then Wang Han was attacked by the Naiman army, and he was in danger, and how Temujin went to save Wang Han, and then the two swore to the sky again, and the whole process of re-forming the alliance was told to Wanyan Changzhi in detail.

After listening to Yan Changzhi, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked again: "Brother Zhang, how do you know so clearly?" ”

Zhang Hu said with a smile: "Brother Wanyan, I can't hide it, a large part of the business is in Mobei. As the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, so it is necessary to know the big and small things of Mobeisheng well, and when doing business, you can have a target and do what you like. ”

Wanyan Chang's heart moved, it seems that Zhang Hu must have established a very effective organization to collect information in Mobei, so that he can understand the situation in Mobei so well, he has always wanted to find such a person, this time he really picked up a treasure. However, he also wanted to give Zhang Hu a try, and said: "Now Mobei is standing side by side with Wang Han, Zamuhe, and Temujin, have you seen these three people, Brother Zhang?" ”

Zhang Hu smiled: "I've met a few times." ”

"In Brother Zhang's opinion, what kind of characters are these three people?" ”

Zhang Hu was slightly stunned, staring at Wan Yan Changzhi, but in his heart he was figuring out the purpose of Wan Yan Changzhi's question. After a while, Zhang Hu said: "Wang Han is an old and treacherous person, and he has a deep city, but he is greedy for money and profit, and has near-term worries and no long-term concerns, so he is not afraid, but he is just a dog who guards the household." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with a smile: "Wang Han has been the leader of Mobei for more than ten years, with a deep foundation and strong strength, how can he be said to be a dog guarding the household?" ”

Zhang Hu also said with a smile: "Last year, when Temujin and Zamuhe fought the Thirteen Wings, it was a great opportunity for Wang Han, at that time, no matter which side he took the opportunity to attack, that side would definitely be defeated, but Wang Han did not move, and waited for Temujin and Zamuhe to lose both, and as a result, he missed the opportunity in vain." And this time he attacked Nabarian with the allied forces of Temujin, and in order to kill people with a sword, he abandoned his allies for no reason in the middle, but was put together by Zamuhe, causing the loss of the soldiers, and he had to ask Temujin to save him in order to escape. As a result, not to mention the great loss of strength, he also denied his faith in the various departments of the grassland, which shows that he did great things and spared his life, and forgot his righteousness when he saw small profits, how could he be a great person. What's more, Wang Han is nearly sixty years old, and his son Sang Kun is even more useless, so although the Kereh Department is strong, it is not to be feared. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi stroked his palm and laughed: "Well said, what about Zamuhe." ”

Zhang Hu said: "Zamuhe has the posture of a hero, but this person has a little more courage and less courage. And narrow-minded and moody. Acting regardless of the overall situation, it is mostly determined by personal likes and dislikes. What's more, after the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, the brutal name of Zamuhe spread throughout Mobei, and the people's hearts turned away. ”

"So, only Temujin has the ability to unify the steppe?" ”

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Mobei has been fighting for hundreds of years, if there is one person who can unify the entire Yuan, then this person is none other than Temujin. ”

The way of the long face: "Then why?" Among Wang Han, Zhamuhe, and Temujin, Temujin is the latest and weakest, why is he the only one who can unify the grassland. ”

Zhang Hu said: "It is true that Temujin is the latest and the weakest, but Wang Han and Zamuhe can have their current status, and they have inherited the inheritance of their ancestors, but Temujin has gone from nothing in less than ten years to being able to compete with Wang Han and Zamu. At present, although the strength of the Mongolian Department is not as good as that of the Kereh Department and the Zha Ta Department, it is full of talents, and there are countless elite soldiers and fierce generals, and they are united, which must not be underestimated. ”
