sweeping the world

Chapter 296 Talk collapsed?
Marriage has always been the best way to cooperate. It just so happens that Liu Yan is young and has no wife. He only has a concubine from Tuoba Xianbei, so it is necessary to find one or more daughters from a family with pure blood and good background.

Yu Yi didn't reply right away, and of course he wasn't detained either. He returned with the news that Liu Yan intended to marry a family south of the Yangtze River, which caused a new round of shock.

"In their view, whether we can withstand the next wave of attacks from the Shijie State of Zhao is not known, and I am afraid there will be no intention of marrying." Sang Yu has a very thorough view of the family: "They will talk about it, and list it first. A long list, there will be a few concubine daughters of big families or big families, and some daughters of middle-class families."

Isn't that what it is?The situation in the Han Dynasty looks pretty bad. Those clans and aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River are not really optimistic, or they should have separated and invested in it long ago.

The aristocratic family's sense of marriage is more sensitive than anyone else's. Once they see that someone has an opportunity to develop and grow, the next moment someone should come to the door and secretly propose marriage.

However, from the rise of Liu Yan to the possession of a state by the Han tribe, and even the initiative of the Han army to go south to the Yangtze River, the powerful families and families south of the Yangtze River did not even try a little bit.

"How could Chang not understand?" Ji Chang was sneering: "This proposal is to give them a chance to see if there are any truly smart people. If they still feel unworthy after seeing our army, it means that the Yangtze River The descendants of those aristocratic families in the south are all short-sighted people."

Sang Yu was also laughing, quite cheerfully.The Sang family has confirmed that there will be a direct descendant daughter who will become Liu Yan's woman, and start to really invest in Liu Yan on behalf of the Yu Sang family. This means that the Sang family is investing heavily, after all, no one works for direct marriage But two strengths.

On Lu Yi's side, there are women from the direct line who will become Liu Yan's women, but considering that Lu Yi is the patriarch of Jiangxia's Lu clan, the marriage is just to increase intimacy.

For the rest of the Han tribe, there were unmarried direct-line daughters in their families. In view of their status, they sent the direct-line daughters, or became concubines, or maids, etc., all in order to increase their intimacy with the king.

Those who say that they are determined to vote all the way to the end, actual actions are far more effective than words, and everyone is clearly optimistic about the future of this group.

Ji Chang has no sisters or daughters, and he doesn't even have his own family, after all, he was born there.He has also passed the boundary of needing to use external force to increase intimacy. He has been the No. 1 under Liu Yan in this group for a long time, and what he should do is to do his job well.

"Things in the south can be done slowly." Ji Chang attached great importance to the Central Plains, he said: "Tomorrow Chang will return to Xiami, and the affairs here will be handed over to Zishen."

Sang Yu nodded easily, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about Tai'an."

There is no difficulty here, especially when the cable newspaper learned that Jiankang's order forbade the Jin army from crossing the river, it would not be so difficult.

Of course, Sang Yu was not relieved because of the news from Jiankang, but because the Jin army had insufficient supplies, and the Han army had ships with superior quantity and quality around them.

Isn't that the case with the Yangtze River natural moat?Whoever has the sharpest ships belongs to the natural moat, but there is no rule that only the side on the south bank of the Yangtze River can use the natural moat of the Yangtze River.

Ji Chang asked more safely: "We will stop in Xuzhou, this guy knows it well?"

Sang Yu still smiled "hehe". Of course he knew why Ji Chang asked that. It was not because he was worried about crossing the river to fight, but because he needed the troops here not to go to Yuzhou, even if there was the best opportunity.

Ji Chang left, and on the third day after he left, Yu Yi came to Jiangdu.

"Huh? Ji Changshi went back to send secrets?" Yu Yi's face was not very good. He had already communicated about the mission, and he thought that Ji Chang, who was the second political figure in the Han Dynasty, would go with him.He looked at the unfamiliar Sang Yu and said, "Didn't ask for advice?"

"Sangyu in Xiawei County." Without introducing his family background, Sangyu directly stated his current position in the Han Dynasty: "Tian is the governor of Xuzhou."

"..." Yu Yi is very sure that the Jiankang Center did not appoint any governor of Xuzhou to the Han side, let alone Shijie Zhao Guo, and from his standpoint, he must say the following: "You know this is self-proclaimed, right? "

"No." Sang Yu said bluntly: "We are an independent group, and Your Majesty has the right to appoint any position."

Yu Yi grasped a key word, that is independence.He was extremely nervous in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said slowly: "Really? The Han Dynasty wants to establish a country, but they don't know what the name of the country is?"

"Maybe we should talk about other things first?" Sang Yu clapped his hands, and an attendant brought up the case table, prepared related tea sets and tea leaves, and naturally some wine and fruits were also brought up.He made an inviting gesture, and then took the lead to walk forward, saying as he walked, "Tai'an made some proposals to your Excellency before, and he must have an answer?"

Of course, the place where they met was in the city, but it was not in the city tower or the city wall, but in a mansion in the center of the city.

It must be explained that Jiangdu, as a fortress on the edge of the river, does not lack places with beautiful scenery around it, and it can even be said that there are not few places with beautiful scenery.

Jiangdu has encountered wars many times, and it is a place used as a military fortress. It is a bit out of date to want any luxurious buildings in the city. Even if there were any, they should be completely burned by the last fire.

The mansion where Sang Yu lived was rebuilt on the ruins, only part of it was repaired, the rest still looked like it had been burned, so he had to choose one... um, the vestibule?
In ancient times, almost every wealthy family would choose to build such a spacious courtyard, so that when looking from the lobby to the door, you can see an empty green shade.

The place where Sang Yu invited Yu Yi to come was a place with a roof but ventilated on all sides. If this kind of place is called a quiet room in modern times, it is now called a dojo.

It is not a place for preaching, but a kind of harmony with nature, which is convenient for thinking about certain things, and is very suitable for self-cultivation.

A woman from Xuzhou was already making tea. She rolled up her sleeves and knelt down in front of the table. She held a stone hammer in one hand and a bowl in the other. She needed to crush the tea leaves first, which was in the form of powder. Shape.

There was another woman boiling water, using charcoal in a small stove to burn slowly, during which she was still busy fiddling with some withered flowers and leaves, and then ginger and garlic, there must be a kind of oil, there will be some Salt.

These women look young and beautiful, especially with the silk cheongsam that is made of silk, causing the two sides to spread to the buttocks when kneeling, and the soft silk is directly attached to the slender thighs, showing a good outline , making people wish to lift the skirt to see the scenery inside.

"Your side, are you so extravagant that maids can wear silk at will?" Yu Yide admitted that he was amazed: "It's really... surprising or amazing!"

Before Yu Yi came in, he saw two rows of tall women wearing cheongsams. When he saw the other ones who were kneeling and busy, he admitted that even if there were countless women, he would definitely be in a trance for a moment, just because of that style. The costume fully reveals all the figure of the woman.

Sang Yu knew that even a person like Yu Yi would look like this. For men, beautiful women, especially stunning beauties, are an absolutely beautiful scenery, better than any mountains and rivers.

"I don't intend to offend you. Can you please tell me?" Sang Yu asked Yu Yi to sit down, waited for a while, and then said when Yu Yi nodded, "The wind in the south of the Yangtze River is very serious. , almost to the point where no women are unhappy, but I don’t know if a man lacks women when he gets married?"

Yu Yi's face turned dark instantly.

High-status men occupy more than one woman. This has been the case since the formation of collective society, and it will not change no matter how time passes.

Do you know what Yu Yi thought after hearing Sang Yu's words?He ignored the words "Sweeping Wind", and mainly understood that Sang Yu was asking if there were any men in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yu Yi's understanding of this has its historical background, including that when the aristocratic family was carrying out the so-called southward crossing, there were so many aristocratic families who abandoned their wives and children. Almost every family had female relatives who were thrown in the Central Plains because they first It is the male of the family who will save.

Sang Yu obviously didn't know that Yu Yi would be wrong, and he was a little dazed because Yu Yi's face turned ugly in an instant.He continued to speak his own words: "There are bound to be women when traveling, basically serving as maids, in fact those women also serve as bed warmers and coitus..."

"Enough." Yu Yi was upright and magnanimous, but it didn't mean that he was a fool.His face was full of anger: "If you want to provoke me with one step, then you have succeeded."

"What?" Sang Yu was stunned and confused: "Enraged?"

"Our ancestors traveled to the south in full clothes, and some female relatives were left in the Central Plains. They were indeed ravaged by the Hulu. There is no need to remind me of this!" Yu Yi wanted to leave with his sleeves, but the mission was not completed yet.He tried his best to suppress his anger, and said: "The long history of your ministry proposed a marriage, and I have already brought a reply. Before replying, you need to ask, why did your ministry not report to the court?"

"Oh, Zheng Shuo's theory?" Sang Yu still didn't know why Yu Yi was angry. He really wanted to continue the topic just now, but he also knew that when a person is full of anger, he shouldn't provoke him.He smiled and said: "We never regard the court that fled south and rebuilt as Zhengshuo. In our opinion, Zhengshuo has perished after Cao Pi usurped the throne, and there will be no more Zhengshuo in the world since then."

"So, your Ministry still wants to use Han as the country's title?" Yu Yi hurriedly stood up, flicking his sleeves: "In this way, there is no need to continue the discussion."

Sang Yu was still smiling. He gestured again to ask to sit down, and said: "Your Excellency represents the identity of the imperial court, and the official topics that should be said have been finished. Maybe we should talk about private matters?"

Yu Yi seemed to be extremely annoyed and laughed back. He said "hehe" a few times, turned around and took a step, as if he was about to leave.

"We are the largest force in the Central Plains fighting against the Shijie Zhao State. We have won several times in the contest with the Shijie Zhao State. Next year we will continue to fight against the Shijie Zhao Army and continue to win. In this This time, we will not fight alone, we will stand with Ran Qin, Zhang Liang, and Murong Yan, the three countries that sent envoys to Xiami, and completely bury Shijie Zhao State with them." Sang Yu saw Yu Yi stopped leaving, turned around, and asked with a smile, "As the so-called Zhengshuo, no one told the court of Jiankang about that, right?"

At this moment, no matter whether what Sang Yu said was true or not, Yu Yi only felt embarrassed.

Yes, Murong Yanguo has made it clear that it will no longer follow the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting as Zhengshuo. Although Zhang's Liangguo does not make a clear statement like Murong Yanguo, since Zhang's Liangguo is in the so-called "three Wang Tongmeng" signature, then it is already very obvious.

The whole world has abandoned the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even the so-called barbaric foreign countries no longer send envoys to Jiankang. It was not Sima Yue who was in Jiankang that foreign envoys appeared to pay homage to Liu Yan who was in Xiami.

That is the fact that Yu Yi saw with his own eyes. There are people from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla in Jiangdu, and there are even people from Fusang Island. Maybe there are Fuyu people or Quwo people from Liaodong. It seems that there is no country. Liu Yan in Beijing has more influence than Sima Yue as emperor.

The reality is that at least Liu Yan has been drawn into an alliance. Those countries known to the Eastern Jin court, almost every one of them is courting Liu Yan, but the Eastern Jin court has been ignored.

"You are unable to go north, this is the truth." Sang Yu once again made a gesture of please sit down, this time his hard work was not in vain.Waiting for Yu Yi to sit down again, he said with a smile: "Then, according to our family's survival rules, please tell me, is there a roster?"

Yu Yi was very depressed. He found that from the beginning of the meeting, the rhythm of the conversation was completely controlled by the seemingly idle guy in front of him.

Sang Yu finally stopped talking, he was waiting for the answer.

By this time, the maids had already made the tea.Two maids approached the two of them with small steps while holding a plate. They placed the plate on the wooden board on the ground. There were many small dishes in the plate, such as ginger, onion, salt, flower petals, oil, etc. thing.

The two maids hold the teacups in both hands, touch their foreheads first before handing them out, and finally hand them out with their heads down. Waiting for the teacups to be picked up, they will lift up the plate again and place the wooden plate near the brows , looking at the person who is serving with a pair of big eyes.

Naturally, Sang Yu took the teacup. There was nothing added to the tea he drank. If he wanted to add something, he could pick it from the plate with a small spoon.

Yu Yi didn't take the teacup, he said in a daze: "Your Ministry is really hardworking, even the etiquette of 'raising the case to the eyebrows' is specially taught to the maids."

"..." It was Sang Yu's turn to be depressed, but he didn't show it, and said flatly: "For some reason, it seems that our talk has collapsed?"
