sweeping the world

Chapter 305

If you know the Yu family, you will feel sorry for this family.The Yu family advocated the Northern Expedition many times, and Yu Liang led the army to the Northern Expedition once. In fact, it achieved good results that time. It regained a lot of territory from the Shijie Zhao State, but it was a pity that it was lost one after another. .

Only one Northern Expedition severely damaged the vitality of the Yu family. Since then, the Yu family has entered a dormant period. After waiting for the strength to come back, Yu Ying of the Yu family began to advocate the Northern Expedition again. He also took practical actions, including Reached a consensus with Huan Wen, the contemporary patriarch of the Huan clan, that the forces controlled by the Huan clan would assist the Yu clan in the Northern Expedition, and the Yu clan would support the Huan clan in their crusade against the Li clan into Han.

Yu Yi didn't like Liu Yan's tone, all because Liu Yan was revealing a cruel fact, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was extremely weak and could not be respected, but the Han Dynasty had already shown strong military strength and was wooed by all parties.

For the Xiao~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the most deadly threat they felt was that no one would regard them as Zhengshuo any more, which made the already weak Xiao~chao~ting even more vulnerable. They regard it as Zhengshuo, so does it mean that they don't even have righteousness?

"There is no great righteousness in the first place." Liu Yan didn't mind revealing more cruel facts: "Your Excellency just said that the law of the jungle has become a reality. Now is not the time for singing every night, and poetry and prose are no longer intoxicating. , Civilizations without the guarantee of force will eventually be destroyed in the flames of war.”

Yu Yi knew what Liu Yan was talking about. Sun Chuo was a great poet and calligrapher in the south of the Yangtze River. Yang Yu was also talented but not as good as Sun Chuo, but Yang Yu could insult Sun Chuo as much as he wanted by relying on Murong Xianbei. Is it that civilization is weak and embarrassed in the face of barbarism?

"If I marry the princess, can you be a vassal?" Seeing Liu Yan's grinning expression, Yu Yi said, "Or are we allies?"

Liu Yan was actually very happy. Yu Yi said those words, at least it means that Yu Yi is a person who can see the reality clearly, he is not fascinated by the false power, and knows that the small~chao~court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot be alone.

To be alone is to be excluded, and to be excluded is to be isolated.There is a saying that goes, “If you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you are wronged, you will get little help.” Doesn’t it mean that you can’t have no friends?Lonely people are easily besieged. Zhao State, which seems to be as powerful as Shijie, is not because of problems in many aspects. If there are multiple forces targeting it, it will inevitably decline and collapse.

Liu Yan seemed to say casually: "This time, many parties have agreed to attack Shijie together, and you can actually participate."

Yu Yi immediately refused.It's not just that the Eastern Jin Dynasty's small~chao~ting was unable to go north, but also because they felt that they hadn't lost that much, with their former vassals, with themselves publicly declared as traitors, with their enemies..., too many, too much, still Feel disdainful.

Just now Liu Yan still thought that Yu Yi was a rare sober person, and he sighed secretly when he was rejected.

That's right, that's right, Liu Yan's proposal has a trap, and he wants to bring the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting to an equal status with many countries, but that is also a reality today, the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting Participating may not have the status of Zhengshuo anymore, but it is far more beneficial for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to be more pragmatic than to hold Zhengshuo on its own.

It's not Liu Yan's good intentions, it's this time that many parties have attacked Shijie Zhao country. If Shijie Zhao country is not eliminated at once, Ran's Qin country has a strong pass, Zhang's Liang country has high mountains and long roads, and Murong Yan's country is located in a bitter and cold place. However, Liu Yan's Han tribe is in Qingzhou!

Qingzhou is a part of the Central Plains, if Shijie and Zhao Guo are allowed to survive this time, with Shihu's character, he will definitely retaliate with all his strength.The many forces that failed to cooperate once, what choice would they have when they were attacked by Shihu in the Han Dynasty?More than ninety-nine percent will go to the theater!

The small~chao~ting of the Eastern Jin Dynasty may be weak, but it doesn't mean that the clans and aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River are also weak.If those clans and aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River pull out the private soldiers in the family, believe it or not, they can form another army with more than 20 people?
The simplest example, when Yu Bing wanted to preside over the Northern Expedition, the Yu clan alone pulled out nearly [-] young men.In the south of the Yangtze River, there are three other clans, and there are also countless families. They control nearly [-]% of the resources in the south of the Yangtze River. If they can form a rope, they are obviously very powerful.

"Only a small part of Huan's and Yuan's strength has brought more than 40 scholars who can handle copywriting to the Han Dynasty." Liu Yan didn't know what the purpose was, and said with a smile: "Their abilities are still It’s not bad, the worst ones can handle the literary affairs of a village. And those are just the so-called parts.”

Of course Yu Yi knew about those things, the ones who came here were almost Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao's private trilogy, and most of the people who could really do things in the south of the Yangtze River were the so-called trilogy. Hands-on ability is almost non-existent.

Liu Yan and others are not mentally retarded. Except for those who were invited by letter, many talents from various fields have come from the south of the Yangtze River recently. How can they not know what the aristocratic families from the south of the Yangtze River want to do.

More and more scholars from the south came over, nothing more than investment between various families.Liu Yan welcomes this point. The Han Dynasty is seriously short of scholars, and some counties have been established, but the development speed of those without administrative talents and those with administrative talents is definitely not the same.

Worried about being emptied?That's overthinking.Liu Yan knew very well that a country could not be without aristocrats and aristocratic families. It was an inevitable trend of social development and could not be completely prevented. He knew this and understood this, so he would not let the military power fall by the wayside from the beginning to the end, let alone Land will not be allowed to be annexed in an uncontrolled manner.

The first communication between Yu Yi and Liu Yan was very unsuccessful, at least Yu Yi thought so.

After Yu Yi left, Liu Yan appeared after Wen Wu who had been waiting in the side hall was summoned.They need to discuss tomorrow's parade.

The military parade is a habit that Chinese civilization has had since a long time ago. Normally, when a large-scale use of troops is needed, there will be a military parade. The purpose is to review the troops that are about to embark on the journey, so that the king can see how bad the troops are.

The military parade of the Han army this time was of a deterrent nature, allowing the envoys from all parties to understand the military strength of the Han army at its peak, and at the same time occupy more initiative in the next few parties' talks.

The negotiation went very smoothly. After all, the Han army's organizational system has always been complete, and there has been a strict division of what kind of combat force it should be from the beginning.

After everyone left, Liu Yan sat alone. He looked at the empty hall and then at the getting dark outside, stood up slowly, and walked towards the back of the hall.

The next day, when the sky was still dark, there were bursts of drumming in Xiami City and its surrounding areas.

In fact, Xiami Bencheng is currently a large barracks. There are no civilians in it, but nearly [-] soldiers.Several sub-cities around Xiami, including the numerous camps, have a combined number of soldiers of about [-].

The current number of the Han army happens to be an integer of 20. It is inevitable that Xiami has more troops as Liu Yan is located. The other troops are stationed in Pingshou, Hanting, Chunyu, and Xuzhou respectively. Naturally, there will be no shortage of troops in the rear. The troops that stabilize the basic disk.

Today is destined to be a busy day, not only on the Han side, but in fact, because it is the agreed day of talks, the diplomatic missions of all parties will also appear extremely busy.

Yu Yi and Sun Chuo, including some important people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty envoys, stayed up all night. They discussed and quarreled all night last night. Negotiations between parties.

Yu Yi, who didn't get anything from Liu Yan, thought about a lot of things later, such as whether he should have Zheng Shuo's reserve.To want Zhengshuo to be reserved means not to participate in the discussion, but to prepare to cross the Yangtze River to occupy under the condition of permission... Everyone thinks that recovering some land is something that can be done.

When the sound of the drum came, everyone who had been arguing all night and their spirits were atrophied all looked at Yu Yi.Up to now, they haven't even discussed whether to participate in the meeting with all parties.

"The meeting of all parties is the biggest event in recent times." Sun Chuo wiped his face to make himself look more energetic: "It represents the general trend of the world."

Isn't it just that I am struggling with this, or I don't even need to discuss it, just say that I don't need to go.

It is related to the future trend of the world. If such a major event is not involved, will the combined forces of the several parties have their share in the division of Shijie Zhao?
In fact, most of them, including Yu Yi, have other opinions. For example, after the collapse of the Shijie Zhao State, the various forces that bit the Shijie Zhao State engaged in melee. Before the Central Court regained its unity, no one would He had time to cross the Yangtze River to find trouble for the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Let's go." Yu Yi thought that they could not have no sense of existence at all: "Besides, I heard that there will be fighting between all parties today."

As soon as Sun Chuo heard about Wu Dou, he immediately turned cold. He was too embarrassed and annoyed by Yang Yu. It is impossible to say that he didn't have any thoughts of revenge in his heart.The problem is that he didn't bring any brave warriors, and he felt that he couldn't beat the barbaric Xianbei people one-on-one, and the many-to-many Jin army was not his personal part.In short, he is helpless and aggrieved, but he really can't do it, what can he do?
The Eastern Jin Dynasty envoys are procrastinating, but the rest of the parties are already ready.

The two envoys from Zhang's Liang Kingdom and Ran's Qin Kingdom requested to be accommodated in adjacent houses. They also set out together to the Xia Mixi Tower, where Liu Yan would officially receive them. The venue is also where the event will be held.

Xie Ai's deputy envoy is called Zhang Hua. In fact, Zhang's Liangguo's envoys are not large in rank. For example, Xie Ai is currently only a chief bookkeeper, and Zhang Hua is simply a loose official.They didn't bring many people, just three hundred soldiers from Xiliang.It can't be said that Zhang Jun didn't pay attention to this meeting. The main reason is that Liangzhou where they are located is too far away from Qingzhou, and there are many hostile forces in the middle.

Jiang Gan had already come to Xiami before the reunion of several countries was confirmed. The Ran family Qin State he represented did not have deputy envoys, but the more than 500 soldiers of the Ran Min Army who came over were all aggressive.They didn't have to be aggressive, they didn't go through Li's Chenghan and then along the Yangtze River, they went to the hinterland of Zhao State in Shijie, which was equivalent to killing all the way, so that they didn't bring gifts at all.

The larger envoy is Murong Yanguo, who is envoy Yang Yu in charge of many matters, and Li Hong, the deputy envoy, is in charge of leading the soldiers within the envoy.

Who is Li Hong?He was a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Liao 1. He was a slave of Murong's family at the beginning, and became You Sima after countless bloody battles.

First, people from Ran's Qin State and Zhang's Liang State came to Xichenglou, the third wave arrived from the Eastern Jin Dynasty envoys, the fourth wave was from Murong Yan State, and the people from Tuoba Dai State were from the He Han Department. people come together.

As the host, Liu Yan of course has to make a lot of preparations, such as arranging the location of the diplomatic missions from various countries, and some miscellaneous things are essential.

In order to prevent Murong Yanguo and the people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty from making any more troubles, they were separated by people from Ran Min and Zhang Jun. Yang Yu searched for a long time but couldn't find Sun Chuo, while Yu Yi kept showing Xie Ai and Jiang Gan, who were relatively close, glanced back and forth.

The most low-key person on the scene should be the delegation of Tuoba Xianbei. They were arranged relatively close to Liu Yan. A feeling of intimacy with Liu Yan.

Tuoba Gu is the fourth younger brother of Tuoba Shiyiqian. He had been a hostage in Shijie Zhao State for a long time. After returning to Tuoba Xianbei, Tuoba Shiyiqian allocated half of the territory to govern him in memory of his dedication. .His personality is relatively modest, not as violent as Tuoba Qu, and he is closer to Tuoba Xiu, which is why he was selected as the envoy of the envoy.

Tuoba Qu is the third younger brother of Tuoba Shiyiqian and the third elder brother of Tuoba Gu.

Tuoba Gu didn't say anything else, he just talked about the envoys of various countries staring at each other, or which side of the envoys of various countries is closer.

Liu Yan kept smiling, answering from time to time, feeling a little helpless for this familiar brother-in-law, all because Tuoba Gu really talked a lot.

At present, there are only a few groups of people gathered under the city tower. They are soldiers prepared by various missions, and they will compete on the spot later.

What must be explained is that Yu Yi only brought a few family members and corresponding entourages with him, but none of the warriors, not even the deputy envoy Sun Chuo was present, which made the envoys of the other countries frown frequently , even Liu Yan was completely convinced.

What is Liu Yan convinced of?It's nothing more than that Yu Yi is really tolerant, and that Yu Yi's coming is better than not coming, even if he comes, he will be looked at by all kinds of weird eyes, but he really should come.

"Actually...he's really pretty good." Tuoba Gu didn't laugh at Yu Yi, and said to Liu Yan, "He's still very courageous."
