sweeping the world

Chapter 177 Qingzhou is like a chessboard

"So has it started?"

"Yes, there was a change in the Han Dynasty, and we were forced to start."

Sang Chong is not very famous, but the sons he taught are better than each other. Except for Sang Yu, who was ashamed to be a courtier of the Hu people and foreign races, the rest of the heirs are officials in Shijie Zhao State, and their official positions are generally not low.

The person who talked to Sang Chong was Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo is a very ordinary-looking person. If she is not dressed in gorgeous clothes, she will definitely not have any characteristics when walking in the crowd, but he is the elder brother of Guo Xiang, the governor of Xuzhou. The true sense of the rich.

Guo Yin used to serve as Shangshu Youpushe and Sikong, and was born in Jinyang, Taiyuan; Guo Jing, a native of Taiyuan, is now the prefect of Xiangyang; Guo Xiang is the governor of Xuzhou, and was born in Jinyang, Taiyuan;See something?That's right, they are all surnamed Guo, and they are all officials of Zhao State in Shijie, and they are all from Taiyuan.

The Guo family prospered during Shi Le's time. With Shi Le's death, of course, the glory is gone, but there are still many clansmen who still held high positions when Shi Le was in power.

"How many people will be involved?"

"I'm afraid there will be a lot."

The two stopped together, both showing wry smiles.

Sang Chong was stirring a basin, and there was nothing else in it, it was a kind of powdered tea matcha.

There are many pots and jars on the table, such as ginger, garlic, onion, and some oil made from unknown things. When the tea is poured into the teacup, they will add some more or less according to their preferences. .

That's right, this is the way to drink tea now, and stir-fried tea will not appear until the Ming Dynasty, so there is no such thing as taking a teacup and brewing it and you can drink it.

The ancients believed that drinking tea required skills, and that one could cultivate one's sentiments through the process of making tea.Do you know why?That's because there are many processes involved in making tea, not only are there many processes but also extremely complicated, and it takes a lot of time. If you don't have a little patience, you really can't do it.Therefore, cultivating sentiment should be a last resort. Otherwise, after the emergence of fried tea, how could the complicated tea making be eliminated immediately? (The little devil and the stick are kept)
After tossing about two quarters of an hour, Sang Chong finally managed to toss the tea, picked up the spoon and filled the two teacups to [-]% full, and raised his hand to Mrs. Guo as a gesture of please.

During the quiet quarter of an hour, the two were actually doing the necessary thinking, making tea or something was just to make the two people who were thinking quietly not look so awkward.

The tea leaves are ground into powder, and because of long-term stirring, they will become a bit thick, and there are still quite a lot of foam. Mrs. Guo is very familiar with adding some oil that I don’t know what it is made of with a small spoon, and then added some onion.

If modern people come to take a look at it, there are definitely not many people who can drink the weird tea with oil and some chopped green onions.

But the ancients drank tea in this way, and thought it was fashionable and a rare delicacy.

"Completely eradicating the Cao family is beneficial to everyone." Mrs. Guo put down the teacup, "I was supposed to keep Murong Xianbei's hidden pawns, but with the accident of the Han tribe, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep them."

"Yeah, I can't keep it." Sang Chong smiled lightly and said, "Then Liu Yan is someone who can be used?"

What did you say?Both of them were from Jin, and they were both from Jin who worked for Zhao after Shijie. Apart from this, they both belonged to the same camp, Shi Zun's camp.

Shi Zun's title of King of Qi was conferred by Shi Hong, which shows that he is deeply loved by Shi Hong.

Shi Hong was the second son of Shi Le and the second emperor of Shijie Zhao, but he did not sit on the throne for long.

Shi Hu is Shi Le's cousin, his father is Shi Koumi, and his mother is Zhang Wei's daughter.After he usurped the throne, Shi Hong was imprisoned, and he was brutally killed soon, and even Shi Zun's King Qi became Pengcheng Duke (later became Pengcheng King).

If we continue to extend it, there must be a long list of people dragged out, and everyone has a long story worth telling, but I am afraid there is no way to quote them one by one, I can only briefly introduce, that is, although Shihu is Shijie The ruler of Zhao, but he is not recognized by everyone.

There is no mistake, the Sang Chong family and the Guo Tai family, the first object of their allegiance is Shi Le, after Shi Le died, they are loyal to Shi Hong, but Shi Hu usurped the throne, so it is a bit difficult to say who they should be loyal to up.One thing is certain, they do not mean that they must be loyal to Shihu now.

"That depends on how ambitious Liu Yan is." When Mrs. Guo talked about Liu Yan, she was obviously contemptuous, and said: "This guy who came out of nowhere, first pretended to be a Han (Hun) The audio-visual is a 'national', and now it is Xianbei Tiefu."

"Don't interfere with Duke Pengcheng's (Shi Zun)'s important affairs." Sang Chong frowned abruptly and said, "My youngest son (Sang Yu) has accepted his recruitment and wants to serve as an assistant."

Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "Mr. Sang arranged to go there as an internal response?"

Sang Chong shook his head and smiled wryly, "That kid... is too stubborn, even my father can't control him."

Mrs. Guo had heard a little about Sang Yu, and thought she was a person who didn't like being an official, but she didn't know that Sang Yu was a "big Han nationalist" who didn't want to work for the barbarian.

That's a matter of course, how sick must the Sang family be to spread everywhere that Sang Yu dislikes and even hates Hu people?It should be trying to cover up this situation.

Should internal response?Sang Chong only had a wry smile in his heart, and the letter left by Sang Yu made it clearer, saying: It is rare that a fellow clan seems to be about to rise up. Although it looks very worrying, I really want to help and try.

That's right, it's no secret that Liu Yan is from Jin. Why don't so many people take it seriously, and anyone would dare to participate in the carve-up?

"Northwest belongs to the Yao family, Guanzhong belongs to the Fu family, Saibei, Liaodong..." Mrs. Guo said a lot of place names, all controlled by someone without exception, and finally he said with determination: "Qi is Pengcheng The fiefdom of the public, our layout has always been to hope to achieve this again."

They belong to the faction of Shi Zun, and the many descendants of Shihu also have their own factions. If the entire Shijie State of Zhao is divided into camps, one thing will be found. Except for Jizhou, which is relatively "central", the states and counties are actually in a kind of situation. The state of being out of control is just that no one dares to show the flag of independence.

Regarding the layout of Qingzhou, Shi Zun's camp has been going on for a long time. Not only Qingzhou, but also Xuzhou and other places that belong to Qi, they have plans to control.

Compared with people in Shi Zun's camp, the Donglai Academy, the county magistrates, county magistrates, and sheriffs are all small people, and at the same time, the "identities" of these small people are extremely mixed.

"That Gongtao took refuge in Murong Yanguo, and it was a pawn placed by the Murong family in Qingzhou." Sang Chong said with a smile, "Should we reveal this information?"

Mrs. Guo was thinking about other aspects, and asked: "So Sang Yu is really acting as an internal response?", meaning to draw the Han people into their camp.

Sang Chong has a similar plan. In his opinion, this is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds. After all, the youngest son Sang Yu is going to Liu Yan to realize his ideals. Let the youngest son Sang Yu really seek death.

"Reveal that Gongtao is a pawn of the Yan Kingdom, and those mobs should disperse?" Mrs. Guo understands the diabolical nature of local families, and there is no unity at all. They are just a group of people gathered by immediate interests, and they have no long-term vision. , I don’t know how to choose a partner when placing a bet: "It's just... Liu Yan has repeatedly rejected Duke Yan, but it's so easy to submit to us, right?"

Sang Chong fell silent, thinking in his heart: "Liu Yan's "Si Han" has mentioned the identity of the Han people more than once. This Han man is obviously not the Han man of the Huns, and he has clearly expressed the idea of ​​​​rebuilding the Han family. Now no one takes it seriously. , only the silly boy (Sang Yu) excitedly passed by..."

It’s true that no one takes what Liu Yan has repeatedly emphasized seriously. If Sang Chong hadn’t had a young son, Sang Yu, he would never have investigated Liu Yan in such detail. Everyone regards Liu Yan as a joke.

The problem now is that Sang Chong really doesn't think Liu Yan is a joke. The people Liu Yan sent to recruit Sang Yu revealed some information that not many people know. For example, the Han tribe acquired territory in Liaodong, and the Han tribe sent troops to fight Goguryeo, Baekje.

If he hadn't really had great ambitions, Liu Yan wouldn't have done those things when he was weak. He should have developed silently according to the established routine, and then accepted his fate honestly to be exploited. He shouldn't have provoked the Yao family first. Later, he offended Shi Bin again.

After observing and thinking about a series of things, Sang Chong discovered to his death that Liu Yan was playing for real. He originally wanted to observe silently or secretly, but the involvement of his youngest son made things very complicated.

There can be a "big Han nationalist" in the family. Sang Yu has such thoughts for no reason. It can be seen that the education of the Sang family is very problematic!So what is Sang Chong thinking?The attitude can be seen from not revealing it at all.

"Qingzhou is good for us." Mrs. Guo didn't know what Sang Chong was thinking. He said with a smile, "I originally wanted to start planning to wipe out the Han tribe. Since Sang Gong wanted to absorb Liu Yan, I will put it on hold for now." ?”

Sang Chong shook his head: "It's just an attempt, but I don't know if it will work. If you have a plan, please don't worry about it."

What are you kidding?I am willing to observe secretly, and I can help if I can reach out, but if Sang Chong is to endorse the Han Dynasty, it may affect the entire Sang family. Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Yes, even if Sang Yu pays in the end, Sang Chong will never make any guarantee for the Han, this is the survival rule of every family!
