Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 548 The Children of Jiangdong
It was windy and snowy, blocking the road.

As a result, news from Liaodong was often cut off.

Li Yue often looked at the northeast from the attic, but he didn't know if Murong Ke could survive.

A few years ago, the Liang State was under tremendous pressure from the Yan State. A few years later, the old enemy Murong Ke died, and the Yan State was also on the verge of death.

Time, momentum!
So the crisis is always inside and never outside.

Murong Ke's refusal to take the last step had already doomed the fate of the Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the scholars from Jiangdong have entered Yecheng." Lu Qing whispered from behind.

Li Yue turned around and said, "Let's go meet them!"

Jiangdong is not without talents, nor is it without brave warriors. You must know that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu, Wu and Yue were always famous for their bravery and good warfare. The Chu State once aspired to the Central Plains, the Wu State dominated the princes, and the Yue State also joined the Qi and Jin princes in Xuzhou. , paid tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, marched across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and became the overlord.

Overlord Xiang Yu's eight thousand Jiangdong disciples killed hundreds of people all over the world.

When he arrived in the Han Dynasty, Li Ling's [-] Jingchu infantry fought a bloody battle with [-] Xiongnu cavalry, killing more than [-] in formation. If the traitor hadn't betrayed him, Li Ling could have fought back to Han...

Arriving at the main hall, everyone knelt down on one knee, and a strong man at the head raised his hands and said, "Common Shen Jin pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Yue stepped forward and helped him up, "There are only men in China, not ordinary people!"

Although he was from Jiangdong, he was tall, strong, handsome, and more than seven feet long, which made Li Yue very fond of him.

In fact, in this era, no matter the Xianbei, Qiang Di, Jiehu, Xiongnu and other foreign races, their physical fitness was not as good as that of the Central Plains people.

With the productivity of the grassland, how can the body be strong if one is hungry and one is full?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.

Li Yue looked at everyone.

"My Majesty Wu Xingshen Mufu!" A young man handed over his hand.

"I would like to congratulate Qianzhi in Kuaiji."

"I'm here to promote Zhou Fu."

"I'll take care of Yu Yizhi."

"I'm looking after you...

Behind each person is a family, which was very successful in the Soochow Dynasty. For example, the Yu family in Kuaiji, whose ancestor Yu Fan could walk three hundred times a day, was good at using spears, and many times defeated one against ten.

And his descendants, after the fall of Soochow, concentrated on academics.

The most famous person, Yu Xi, refused the imperial conquests of the Eastern Jin Dynasty several times. He was the ancestor of Chinese literature. He was the first to accurately discover the precession value. Based on his results, Zu Chongzhi formulated the world-famous "Da Ming Calendar", which also influenced the Sui and Liu Dynasties. "Huang Li", Song Yang Zhongfu's "Tongtian Calendar", Yuan Guo Shoujing's "Time Granting Calendar".

In this era, ordinary people were busy making a living and trying to survive in troubled times. They had touched hoes and bows and arrows all their lives, but they had never seen a few books.

Therefore, knowledge was mostly monopolized in the hands of powerful nobles.

Only when you are full can you have time to look up at the stars.

"I'm Gu Kaizhi of Kuaiji!"

An eleven or twelve year old boy walked out of the crowd and said timidly.

This name...sounded familiar. He seemed to be a painter. Li Yue opened his eyes wide. The Gu family in Kuaiji was the successor of Gu Yong, a famous minister in Jiangdong.

After the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, the Sima family employed many Jiangdong nobles.

There are Lu Ji and Lu Yun in front, and Zhou Chu behind.

However, there are very few people who can get close to the core of power, and most of them act as peripheral hawks. The fate of Zhou Chu and Zhou Qi is actually the final destination of most Jiangdong nobles.

"The children of Jiangdong are indeed extraordinary!" Li Yue took his jade belt and tied it for Gu Kaizhi himself.

These people are the essence of China, and they are also an attempt by the local nobles in Jiangdong.

When the Sima family destroyed Soochow, the Jiangdong gentry also actively cooperated.After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Jiangdong gentry greatly helped Sima Rui and Wang Dao, and then the Eastern Jin Dynasty came into being. Unexpectedly, the northern gentry misbehaved and crossed the river and demolished the bridge. After that, they inherited the talent of internal fighting in the Western Jin Dynasty. Not only did they fight among themselves, but they also squeezed out the local gentry.

Historically, the local nobles in Jiangdong have always had a strong centripetal force towards the Central Plains.

During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's 20-strong army went south. Zhang Zhao, the leader of the Jiangdong gentry, was the first to jump out and persuade Sun Quan to surrender...

In history, the essential reason why Fu Jian defeated Feishui was that he failed to deal with the Jiangdong nobles. He relied on swords to push back, was superstitious about force, and even coined the idiom of throwing a whip to cut off the flow...

If you can treat these Jiangdong children favorably this time, you can win over the hearts of the Jiangdong nobles.

The more Li Yue looked at Gu Kaizhi, the more he liked him. He simply named him Lang Guan and served him around, taking special care of this youngest Jiangdong talent.

Afterwards, Yu hosted a banquet for everyone and placed them in the Nuan Pavilion at Jinhu Terrace.

Daily living, food, clothing, and expenses are all of the highest standards, and even the Literature Museum and the Martial Arts Hall are open to them.

The northern nobles headed by Cui Hong, Liu Ying and Lu Qing gathered with them every day to visit the snowy scenery of Yezhong.

Even the princes Li Yi, Li You, and Li You often visited. Regardless of the political operations behind them, the talents and learning of these Jiangdong children were indeed extraordinary, and their martial arts, Confucianism, astronomy, and geography were all unique.

Many people are also skilled in mathematics. Wu Xing and Shen Mufu are the maritime talents that Li Yue needs most.

Daliang attaches great importance to them to an unprecedented level.

The wind and snow stopped, but there was still no accurate news about Murong Ke in Liaodong.

On the contrary, several craftsmen were too impatient and were caught by the other party and exposed.

"Could it be that the old Liaodong formation was used to confuse Daliang?" Liu Ying asked suspiciously.

Cui Hong said: "It's absolutely impossible. The Yan State relies entirely on Murong Ke to support him. If anything goes wrong, the people of the Yan State will collapse, morale will plummet, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

Chang Wei said: "Maybe Murong Ke has died of illness, but he just didn't mourn in secret."

"It's somewhat possible." Li Yue nodded.

If Murong Ke was still alive, he should come out to worship heaven and earth at this time, so as to calm the hearts of the people of the country.

At that time, the Xiang Kingdom of Ran Wei was defeated, and one hundred thousand elite troops were overthrown. Rumors spread in Ye that Ran Min was dead, and people were in panic. Ran Min came out to offer sacrifices to heaven, and only then did people calm down.

So what can be confirmed is that Murong Ke must be seriously ill. As for whether he is alive or not, it actually doesn't matter.

Li Yue came up with a plan and said to Yang Lue beside him: "Let the people in the school affairs office not rush to find out the news about Murong Ke and spread rumors that Murong Ke was poisoned by Kezu Hun and Murong Ping. The country of Yan is in chaos!"

"I will do it myself!" Yang Lue said in a deep voice.

During this period, a lot of secret agents lurking in the Yan Kingdom were eliminated, and a general was really needed to go there.

Li Yue said warmly: "Be more careful and put your own safety first."

"Take the order." Yang Lue handed over his hand and left.

"In this case, the attack on Liaodong can be postponed." Chang Wei cupped his hands and said.

Li Yue pondered for a moment, "No, according to the plan, Murong Ke will be seriously ill even if he is alive. The people of Yan country are panicked. This is a great opportunity to destroy Yan."

If Murong Ke was not dead, Li Yue would personally see him off, which would be considered the greatest respect for this old enemy.

Now Liang Guo's arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

Di Qin is weak and the country is empty.

Jiangdong was caught in the struggle to abolish the establishment and had no strength to intervene in the Central Plains.

The Xia and Hu people in eastern Liaoning have a population of one million, with herds of cattle and horses, and fierce soldiers, so they must be cut down.

If Murong Ke survives, I don't know how long it will take to destroy Yan.

In a word, take advantage of his illness and kill him!
