sweeping the world

Chapter 297

Yu Yi looked deeply at Sang Yu, and asked, "How many people like you have served Liu Gong in the Central Plains?"

There are many ways to say this. It is to test whether Sang Yu is from a certain family, to ask if Sang Yu is a son of a family, and to ask whether Liu Yan is in the Central Plains... At least Qingzhou can get the support of most families, tycoons, and families.

"I would like to say that there are many, but my words are false." Sang Yu said with a smile: "So far, there is only one family like me, and the second is the Jiangxia Lu family."

Yu Yi's eyes widened, he was a little surprised and confused at the same time: "In this way, how can Liu Gong develop like this?"

That's right, if you want to rise these days, you must gain the support of at least a part of the group. The most realistic thing is to be at least powerful. After all, only the support of the common people cannot bring the wealth at the beginning of the development of the power. Without money, how can we have food and fodder? As a military strategist, there is no foundation for rising.

A group with sufficient resources in any era is not a commoner, at least needs to be a wealthy family, and a family that can become a local tycoon also has a lot of resources. Many forces that can develop can only survive in the early stage with the support of at least a tycoon.

Don't talk about those characters who only use civilians to rise, if they really only get the support of civilians at the beginning of their development, they will need to kill officials, rich households, and powerful people every time they go, which is equivalent to robbing all the way.Usually this kind of force is called rogues, and if they can transform, that's all. If they can't transform, they just become a stepping stone or a stepping stone for someone in troubled times.

What Yu Yi couldn't understand was that Liu Yan didn't get the support of the local tyrants. It seemed that when he occupied part of Changguang County, he forced some small families to join him. In the next two years, he absorbed a group of middle-level families.

Well, according to the popular situation that is willing to understand, it is unreasonable for Liu Yan, who has only received a little support, to develop to this scale in four years, and it is even impossible to support so many troops, even if he can afford to support so many troops. Many troops shouldn't be so well-armored.

"I'm ashamed to say it." Sang Yu said with a sigh of relief: "I, the Sang family, will fully serve the king. The clan meeting made a decision in the past two months. Before this, I ran away from home and joined my king alone without permission. superior."

"..." Yu Yi was stunned again. He found that when he communicated with people from the Han Dynasty, he would always get very exciting information: "Ji Changshi...seems like he was defeated and captured?"

"Exactly." Sang Yu felt that there was nothing to hide: "Over [-]% of the people under my family's command were defeated and captured, and then served. The rest... were all on the run, or fell into the hands of Hulu It was rescued when it was about to be made into jerky."

If he didn't know the strength of the strong army before he came into contact with the Han tribe, Yu Yi would despise him.But now, he couldn't feel any contempt. Liu Yan used such a group of people to create the current situation of the Han Dynasty.How to ridicule or despise?That's just Liu Yan spent four years!
"I'm very ashamed." Sang Yu looked at Yu Yi, as if he was exposing his family's ugliness: "My family didn't help the king, but they made a lot of profits because of the full effect, just for the salt... Maybe Yugong knew about it What a benefit."

Food is the most important thing for the people, but it is difficult to lack salt.Since the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron have been the main source of profit, and that is because it cannot be lacked no matter what.

The Sang family not only got a part of the share, and they were not limited to selling salt. They also got the sale of seafood, but they had to pay first if they wanted to get it, such as investing the necessary funds, or using population Make an exchange.

Of course, Sang Yu didn't say that he had a younger sister who was one of Liu Yan's concubines, and he didn't say how much the Sang family invested in obtaining those shares.

Yu Yi was a smart man. After thinking about the cause and effect, he hesitated and asked, "I'm afraid Sang is related to Mr. Liu by marriage, right?"

"To tell you the truth, Yugong, there is indeed." Sang Yu is an honest and reliable young man, and he said bluntly: "But it is for the Sang clan to join the clan, get those shares first, and the younger sister...", the following words You don't need to make it too clear, it will seem very boring.

"How much share does Liu Gong plan to give to the southern family? In what form, who are you willing to give it to?" Yu Yi has been waiting for this for a long time, or he really should have left just now.

Sang Yuman said sincerely: "Presumably Yugong knows the difference between closeness and distance?"

Yu Yi felt a tightness in his chest, and there was only one daughter left in the direct line of the Yu clan, and that was Yu Bing's daughter, Yu Daolian (the empress of the deposed emperor Sima Yi), and... Yu Daolian was only two years old!
Among the females of the Yu clan, Yu Bing, Yu Yi, and others of the same generation, there are concubine daughters who are not married. The problem is that they are quite old, and they are basically over 20 years old.Of the generation of children of Yu Bing and Yu Yi, all those who should be married have already been married. The unmarried concubines were originally on the list, but now Yu Yi feels that it is a bit difficult to do anything. There are only two direct daughters who can do anything. age!

"Well... does Yugong know about Xie Daoyun?" Sang Yu said with a shy face, "I heard that she is a talented woman from a famous family?"

Yu Yi nodded: "Of course I know, she is the eldest daughter of the prefect of Jinling County (Xie Yi), and she is double seven (fourteen) old."

In fact, Yu Yi's heart is extremely weird. This Xie Daoyun is not only very talented, but also likes to go outing. It seems that Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi, often plays together?
The atmosphere of aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River tends to... How should I put it?It is profligacy, the overall social atmosphere is mainly the children of aristocratic families and the nobles are extravagant, the younger generation will definitely be affected, resulting in things like adultery without marriage happening from time to time.

Xie's family style should be one of the better ones in the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, Wang Xizhi's Wang family will not allow the family's children to mess around because of the scholarly family. Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyun have some gossip because they often go out together. But none of the worst rumors mentioned that the two had had an affair.

where is the problem?Mainly because the two little guys have a good relationship, the Xie family and the Wang family seem to have the intention of getting the two little guys married, at least that's what Yu Yi knows.But now that Sang Yu asked about Xie Daoyun, Yu Yi would definitely be very interesting.

"Ahem..." Sang Yu looked a little embarrassed, and said with erratic eyes: "My lord... Mainly Tai'an and I have always hoped that the lord can pay attention to blood and family background, and hope that we can have a mistress of noble blood ,so……"

"You should understand that before we, the children of aristocratic families, may have blood, it has already been decided who the children will marry and who they will marry." Yu Yi had to cover for Xie Yi, Sang Yu said The meaning of those words was very clear, they were targeting Xie Daoyun.Now he has no way to take out the prepared list. He can only influence it and say: "But I don't know, is your army prepared for the war in the coming year?"

"Of course there is." Sang Yu said with a relaxed smile, "As mentioned earlier, we will work together with other countries to attack Shijie Zhao."

"You should know that any covenant may be false." Yu Yi reminded him without knowing what he was thinking: "Murong Huang, Zhang Jun, and Ran Min are all cunning people. Especially Murong Huang and Ran Min Min!"

Sang Yu made a gesture of wishing to hear more about it.

"The former is tyrannical, killing even his own people. First he attacked the Duan family for no reason, and after that he plundered countless people. It is the corpse of the Duan family that made the Murong family strong. Then he tried to attack the Shijie Zhao country. If there is a slight disadvantage, abandon your allies and retreat. Recently, you have repeatedly attacked the Liaodong countries, but they all retreated with one blow. Turn around and attack the Tuoba Dai country. How can there be any credibility?" Yu Yi is obviously very disgusted with Murong Xianbei, but he is even more disgusted There is another person: "The latter first recognized the thief as his father, and he was a mighty general under Shijie's command. Every time Shijie's Zhao army went south, it was this man who killed the most. Now this Zhuzi keeps saying what about the Miao descendants of the Han family, and what to do as a Jin person , completely forgetting that he, as a mighty general under Shi Hu's command, went south many times and killed countless people. At that time, did he mention the descendants of the Han family, and what kind of Jin people did he care about? He has no scruples!"

Sang Yu could feel the hatred from Yu Yi, which was his treachery towards Murong Hao, but when did the Hu people talk about faith?There is also the deep fear and hatred for Ran Min. It should be because Ran Min killed the Jin army a little too hard. Ran Min did kill many generals of the Jin army several times, and those generals were basically They come from various families south of the Yangtze River. Who made it so that only those of noble birth could be officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
However, that is not what Sang Yu cares about. No one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has caused any harm. What does it have to do with the Han Dynasty to say that it is unpleasant?What he cares about is how to abduct the Xie family into Liu Yan's command!

The Xie family has produced talented people, and will continue to produce talented people in the years to come. It is a family that Liu Yan covets. For example, Xie Xuan, who was just born this year, is one of them. The rest of the Xie family's children also have their own achievements. Even Xie Daoyun, who was just mentioned, is also a very powerful woman.

It is very difficult to abduct Xie's family, no less than sending troops directly to the south of the Yangtze River to destroy the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting, so is it possible to selectively abduct some people first?

"Liu Jian?" Yu Yi was depressed again. He was in the mood to talk and severely criticized some people he couldn't understand and hated, but Sang Yu changed the topic again. Needless to say, the level of depression was so great that he had to Patiently: "I haven't heard of him."

Do you know Liu Laozhi?That is also a very powerful figure in the future, a titan of the Beifu Army.His father's name is Liu Jian, but he is not from a family south of the Yangtze River. If there is no mistake, he should be in the Zhao Kingdom of Shijie at present. He may be an official in a certain place, or a powerful person in a certain Wubao.

The Han Department needs more talents, very, very many!
Sang Yu knew such a thing. In order to find a talent named Wang Meng, Liu Yan sent troops to Wei County more than once, and Wei County is the old nest of the Sang family, and it was only after the Sang family in Wei County made efforts to find such a lonely person. Wang Meng.

What was Wang Meng doing when he was found?He is living in someone else's house, and he can only rely on chopping firewood for food on weekdays.Even so, he must be able to read in his spare time, and as long as he can read, he will never let it go.

Yes, Liu Yan found Wang Meng with the help of the Sang family in Wei County. Now Wang Meng is secretly heading to Qingzhou with the migration team of the Sangyu clan, but he doesn't know when he will arrive at Liu Yan's location.

Yu Yi was sure when he would go to Qingzhou to make a mission, which indicated that his constant commuting to and from both sides of the Yangtze River was not in vain.

The determined process is that the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can take the ships of the Han Dynasty, but the ships cannot be handed over to the Eastern Jin people for operation.At the same time, the number of envoys has dropped from [-] to [-], that is, in addition to the chief and deputy envoys, some descendants of aristocratic families can go if they want, but don't think about bringing dozens or hundreds of entourages or maids with one person.

"That's it." Sang Yu likes to laugh, and his smile is quite hearty: "There can be five hundred Jin troops with him. After all, there should be a lot of ostentation. But they will be gathered on a ship, not with Yu Gong and others. People are in the same boat."

Yu Yi and the others had already compromised on this, or else they would have dropped from 3000 to [-].

The Eastern Jin envoys had a strange structure. Yu Yi and Sun Chuo were the chief and deputy envoys respectively, and they were accompanied by nearly forty descendants of aristocratic families. Except for the [-] soldiers of the Jin army, the rest were entourages and maids. The vast majority of them corresponded to Sang Yu's comment that the sons of the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River cannot do without women.

Now that it has been confirmed and the monsoon is suitable for sailing from south to north, on the sixth day after the finalization, the ships of the Han army officially entered Jingkou, and it turned out that those ships sailed out of Jingkou Water Village on the eighth day.

The reason for the delay for two days is rather fucked up. Part of it is to load the necessary supplies, but most of the time it is those aristocratic families who want to take everything, but the capacity of the ship is insufficient, and even some aristocratic children want to hide it. The bullshit thing that deceives the number of people.

The number of fleets escorting the Eastern Jin envoys was only [-], of which [-] were warships and five were transport ships.The things loaded on those five transport ships were very miscellaneous, and only a small part of them were so-called rewards. Most of them were needed for the children of the aristocratic family to enjoy themselves. How do you live?
"The worst thing that was expected didn't happen." Sang Yu talked to Li Kuang: "At least it proves that they have fully understood our strength."

In the future, Li Kuang will serve as the captain of Jiangdu, the highest military officer in Jiangdu.The organization under his command is rather large. In addition to the thousands of people in his headquarters, a total of more than [-] ships are also under his command.

Sang Yu will leave soon, and Li Kuang will be the leader on the north bank of the Yangtze River from now on.

Li Kuang, the leader, is not only responsible for the military, but also for trade with the south bank of the Yangtze River. It can be said that he has a heavy responsibility.He was in a mood that was both excited and apprehensive, and what made him even more stressed was that there were hidden tasks, including how to deceive, rob, abduct, and kidnap a little girl named Xie Daoyun... Anyway, that's it. Something happened.
