sweeping the world

Chapter 295 Is there a young girl in your family?
The so-called wise man is bound to make a mistake. Xie An felt that he was invited, and he agreed to the invitation before he started to go north. He really didn't know that he was being detained... huh?Or kidnapped.Before he left, he also sent one of his entourage back to inform Yu Bing and also to inform his family.

As for Xie An's official position, how could he leave without consent?The Xiao~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the imperial court of the powerful and aristocratic families. Although the Sima family is the royal family, it is a signboard.

Of course, this kind of thing of leaving the seal was not only popular in the Han Dynasty, but also became popular in Cao Wei. Could it be that it couldn't be done in Sima Yi Jin?The literati and poets also regarded it as a great thing to leave with a seal, and greatly praised those who left with a seal, such as Chen Gong, Guan Yu and others.

Yes, the entourage of the Xie family who returned to the south bank of the Yangtze River still carried Xie An's official seal, so Xie An resigned, and he resigned with confidence, because in his opinion, that official is dispensable, more than If you don't teach the children of the family, if you seize this good opportunity to resign, you will leave directly when Ji Chang sends the invitation on Liu Yan's behalf.

The entourage Xie An sent back said that he wanted to go to the north to see, but the Han army directly said that Xie An was detained. The two different news did not stop the children of the aristocratic families on the south bank of the Yangtze River from thinking that a storm is being captured Brewing.

The Han army captured Jiangdu, and the Jiangshui Temple within Hangou was almost within reach. Facts also proved that after the loss of Jiangdu, the Jiangshui Temple could not protect itself at all. The defenders of Jiangshui Temple abandoned the city after learning that Jiangdu was lost. Let the Han army get the Jiangshui temple without firing a single arrow.

The two coastal defense fortresses on the north bank of the Yangtze River were easily captured by the Han army, indicating that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destined to be a neighbor of the Han Dynasty from that moment on.

It doesn't matter what the people on the Xiao~chao~ting side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty think about being neighbors with the Han, at least Ji Chang, Sang Yu, and Lu Tai who live along the Yangtze River all think this way.They acted according to the established strategy, and the capture of the two Jiangfang fortresses was just a prelude. Then Lu Tai would lead his army to attack cities and land, sweeping across the counties and counties of Zhao State in Shijie on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

"There is no movement on the other side?" Ji Chang didn't know whether to be happy or puzzled: "Are they just watching like this?"

That's right, the Jin army on the other side just watched the Han army attacking the city and land, not only because the Jiankang Center did not allow the Jin army to set foot on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but also because the generals of the Jin army along the Yangtze River were arrested. The powerful long-range attack methods of the Han army were stunned.

The Han army has powerful cavalry, and more seemingly huge naval forces, unlike Shijie Zhao Guokong who has huge cavalry but lacks naval forces. All the generals, including the Yu brothers, feel that they should proceed with caution.

The small~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty does not currently have the strength for the Northern Expedition. After seven or eight years of preparation, they only gathered an army of less than [-]. The people were gathered together, but the number of armored equipment, including food, fodder and supplies, has never been gathered. Enough, otherwise as early as when the Xuzhou Army of Zhao State in Shijie was annihilated by the Han Army, it should have gone north to get a share.

Insufficient troops, coupled with the heavy supplies, can hardly support the Northern Expedition, so what if you don't do it and stare at it?Fighting an uncertain war will not be an option for Chinese civilization. When they have the right to choose, the Chinese civilization's army is used to taking action only after being fully prepared.

"Then let's not provoke Xiao~chao~ting." Ji Chang spoke to Sang Yu: "Send people to contact the aristocratic families in the south, and they will be interested in cheap table salt."

"They are more interested in ships that can sail in the sea." Sang Yu said with a teasing look on his face, "Is it to cooperate with the Yu family according to the plan, or...?"

Ji Chang was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "We eliminated a lot of old ships."

Sang Yu nodded and said, "Understood."

It's not that the Han Dynasty cannot sell ships to the south bank of the Yangtze River, but it depends on who the target is.The Yu family is still the number one clan on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the friendship between the Han tribe and it can greatly affect the political direction of the Eastern Jin dynasty. Furthermore, the Han tribe also needs to carry out necessary development on the south bank of the Yangtze River, such as developing merchants. Lu, then cooperating with the Yu family would be a good start.

It is not something that can be imitated, it requires very mature reverse engineering technology.In terms of current knowledge and technology, it doesn't look like the heavens and dynasties of later generations. Everything can be dismantled and assembled after dismantling. What if the Yu family gets a HNA ship?
Even if the Yu family has mastered the construction technology of sea ships, so what?Ji Chang personally heard some words from Liu Yan. In terms of shipbuilding with conventional strength, the Han Ministry has obtained a large number of craftsmen from Shihu, and the Han Ministry has its own technical reserves. As long as there is enough suitable wood, there will be no shortage of ships.In terms of unconventional forces, Ji Chang's confidence in Liu Yan is even stronger than Liu Yan himself, which is the expectation that countless warships will appear inexplicably every minute.

In other words, Ji Chang's thinking is correct, the difference is that every minute, Liu Yan's "summoning" a warship takes a cheating month, resulting in Lingshan Island and Miaodao Islands as long as the coastline allows it to be a dock, it is simply densely packed .However, to be able to "summon" a battleship in a month is already very unnatural, isn't it?
In the era without Liu Yan's cross-cutting, the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting finally seized the opportunity to seize the southern part of Xuzhou, which of course included Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple, and even hit the Huaiyin line where the water network is densely covered.On the Central Plains line, the protruding part of the Jin army even attacked near Henan in later generations, captured Nanyang County, and attacked Xiangcheng County, the important town of Shijie Zhao State. On the contrary, the offensive on the Runan line was frustrated.

That happened a few years later. The Northern Expedition Faction (Hawk Faction) headed by the Yu family still achieved their goal, but the price was the complete decline of the Yu family. They were betrayed by the Huan family led by their close ally Huan Wen. With Wang's and Xie's making up for it, all the aristocratic families fell into trouble, causing Yu's moment of glory to become a second-rate family in an instant.

It was a rhythm in which the dominant and powerful family must die. The Huan family and the Xie family followed in the footsteps of the Yu family, and the Wang family had already served as a lesson for the Yu family.

So, in some respects, it was Liu Yan who "saved" the Yu clan, and it was a brief pull, but the Yu clan would never be happy.

Ji Chang didn't take the initiative to contact Yu's family, but Yu Yi crossed the river in a single boat and sent them to the door himself.

"Are you going to kidnap the old man too?" Yu Yi is only 38 years old. Of course there is no problem calling himself an old man with his status, but doing this in front of Ji Chang is purely to vent his anger: "How can you keep saying this over and over again?" Do it!"

"Let's talk about how to live together peacefully in the future?" Ji Chang had a sincere smile on his face, and he even prepared a sumptuous banquet. Even actors, beauties, and dancers from the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River greeted him. Dui: "Such as selling ships at sea to the Yu family?"

Those beauties were all sent to Ji Chang by local tyrants in the south of Xuzhou, and there were so many of them that within half a year, if Ji Chang wanted to, he could change to a new face overnight.

Yu Yi felt tight in his chest, unable to speak any accusations.For the Yu family and even the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, the most important thing at present is the HNA ship, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.

"We want [-] ships of each style!" Yu Yi's eyes were a little red, maybe it was lack of sleep, or maybe it was a sudden brain congestion?He pointed to the Han army ships on the river: "All styles!"

Ji Chang was specially arranged on the city tower in Jiangdu where the Yangtze River waterway can be seen. The terrain is a bit high, and he can definitely have a panoramic view of the Han army's water village.

Jiangdu, the Jiangfang Fortress, has changed hands many times. What kind of layout it is is not a secret to the Eastern Jin dynasty, and there is no need to cover it up.Furthermore, Ji Chang intentionally let Yu Yi see the powerful Han army fleet, no matter in terms of quantity, size, style...etc., the number of Eastern Jin navy stationed on the opposite bank is much larger.

Of course, the number of boats in the Eastern Jin navy is definitely greater than that of the Han army, but that is for the entire Eastern Jin navy. Around Jiangdu, the Han army has more ships than the Eastern Jin.That's because the entire Yangtze River that the Eastern Jin navy needed to defend, but the Han army was able to concentrate in one place.

"As long as you can provide what we want, even if there are a hundred ships of each style, there is no problem!" Ji Chang called that boldly, not only in his expression and voice, but also in his posture.He shook hands and said boldly: "My lord owns two states, and soon will be three states, and even the entire Liaodong. A few ships are nothing!"

Yu Yi didn't believe Ji Chang's bullshit. Shi Hu was frantically preparing for battle. He saw that millions of troops were marching to attack Qingzhou, and Liu Yan was about to face disaster. That was the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting. What a big deal.

It's the original thing!How much troops Liu Yan can invest along the Yangtze River is a matter now. Wouldn't Liu Yan send his troops back while waiting for the Shijie Zhao army to go straight to Qingzhou?It is equivalent to the fact that the Han army is currently sweeping away to serve the small~chao~court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Waiting for the Han army to withdraw, the Jin army will easily capture the territory that would have required a huge amount of supplies.

Yu Yi narrowed his eyes, without hiding his desire, and asked hoarsely, "What does Liu Gong want?"

Ji Chang laughed, a burst of "hahaha" laughter, which made the vocal music play and asked the dancers to dance.

Amidst the debauched voices, it took a long time for Ji Chang to say: "The Yu family has a girl who has just grown up?" He said with a smile: "The Yu family, the Huan family, the Xie family, the Wang family, and even the Sima family are all It's okay!"

"what?"

Yu Yi was dumbfounded...
