Fish swimming around the world

So, this is a strange circle. If you want to cross the river, you need their help, but if you want their help, you have to cross the river. Sima Jing is also a little overwhelmed and at a loss.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for him. The initial panic of Jin State was due to its negligence in the war, which led to its continuous retreat. But now it has recovered, and the various armies are gathering rapidly. The strength and weakness are changing. In less than a month, when Yang Wudi completes the assembly of the army, Sima Jing can only shrink in the four states on the south bank, and he must always be on guard against the army's pressure.

There is also a key issue, which is Taiyue.

The war gradually stabilized, and Jin's right to speak began to return. The news from Taiyue was very bad. The five elders seemed to be considering issuing a decree to end the war. By that time, the Chu army, which had already received enough benefits, would definitely give Taiyue this face, and he would become an isolated army.

Without the powerful Chu army, Sima Jing had no hope of crossing the river. Next, he would face Sima Ji's liquidation, and the situation would inevitably be very unfavorable.

Although the Chu army will provide some help to control the southern part of Jin at that time, it will never be as powerful as it is now. Moreover, Sima Jing's original intention is to regain the throne. How can he hide in a corner? The opportunity seems to be quietly leaving.

Facing the extremely anxious Sima Jing, Mu Qiuyun gave him an interesting suggestion.

Negotiate with the State of Chu, hand over all the land of southern Jin to Chu, and then ask the State of Chu to confer him the title, becoming the King of Southern Jin in Chu, paying tribute every year and being a vassal every year. In this way, he can save his life and use the entire southern Jin to fight against Sima Ji.

This idea has to be said to be very talented, but the question is, can the State of Chu agree?

In this regard, Mu Qiuyun proposed another solution, that is, the military power belongs to Chu, the political power belongs to Sima Jing, and all the 180,000 soldiers and horses under his command are given to the State of Chu, and even the four states that Sima Jing regards as the base camp are dealt with in the same way.

Although this temporarily loses military power, it can get the full support of the State of Chu. In this way, even in the northwest of Jin, the Chu army would never allow Yang Wudi to cross the river.

In this way, Sima Jing would have a chance to breathe. Only by saving his life can he fight Sima Ji to the end, and then look for opportunities to get rid of the control of Chu in the future.

And there is another benefit, completely surrendering to Chu, and completely getting rid of the control of Wei and Xia in the future.

I have to say that Jiang Fan thinks this idea is very exciting. This is equivalent to overturning the original agreement. The entire southern part of Jin was handed over to Chu, and 180,000 troops were also taken away. What they paid was just an administrative power. And it is much easier for Jin people to rule Jin than for Chu to do it itself.

Of course, Xiang Chen, that tiger thing, may not agree, but there is Yu Meiren, she should be able to see the benefits. It is a good deal to make a lot of money in southern Jin without paying. The only problem is that Chu can't count on Sima Jing's army to fight against the Jin army, but this is also what it has to pay for holding military power, there is nothing to say.

And originally, Yu Meiren had to consider constantly betting on Sima Jing. After all, once Yang Wudi broke through Sima Jing's defense line, Jinnan would still be in danger. This was very likely. At that time, Jinnan would be in chaos again, and Chu would obviously not want to see this happen.

However, having said that, Yu Meiren could obviously see through Sima Jing's intentions. There were pros and cons to implementing this matter. It depended on how she weighed it.

Only Jiang Fan looked up to Mu Qiuyun again. This guy was good. He was born to be a military strategist. He could even come up with such a genius idea of ​​separating military and political affairs. Jiang Fan even felt that if he was given a chance, he might not be worse than Lu Qinghou.

"If Chu doesn't agree, what is your retreat?"

Jiang Fan was interested and wanted to test him.

Mu Qiuyun responded calmly.

The solution was very simple. If they didn't agree, the Jinnan coast of Longjiang would be divided into two sections. One section would be in the hands of Chu, and the other would be in the hands of Sima Jing. Chu didn't need to consider it. His advice to Sima Jing was to do two things.

First, use all the strength of the four states to build the Longjiang defense line.

Second, actively seek support from the three countries of Chu, Wei, and Xia, agree to all their conditions, and even cede land to keep a place to live and wait for the opportunity.

This is not a brilliant strategy, but it is very practical. Mu Qiuyun sees it very clearly. Only by saving his life can he hope for the future. As for face, reputation, land, and wealth, they are not important. Those are all things that need to be considered after taking the throne of Jin.

Finally, Mu Qiuyun even said that if Chu really disagrees, in addition to the possibility that Minzhou Duan will be broken by Jin and threaten the entire southern Jin, there is another possibility that can threaten Chu, that is, Sima Jing will vote for Wei or Xia in the same way. Obviously, this makes Chu very uncomfortable.

Before and after, thoughtful, and soft and hard, Mu Qiuyun is very talented! No wonder he can instigate Sima Jing to abandon his design and start an uprising.

Jiang Fan finally completely changed his view of this person, and then he had the idea of ​​cultivating him.

"Mu Qiuyun..."

He just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Mu Qiuyun, who said with a bow: "I still hope you can call me Yunqiu, this is the name you gave me."

"Okay, Yunqiu, since you are willing, go ahead, but there is one thing I want to remind you, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel. Getting rid of you is easier for me than breathing..."

While he was talking, Yunqiu suddenly found that there was an extra hand on his shoulder, and he was horrified. With his cultivation, he didn't even notice that there was an extra person behind him.

Looking back, he saw a handsome man with long silver hair standing behind him with a smile, and that hand was his.

After sucking in a breath of cold air, Yun Qiu was not afraid, but even more excited: "Miss Jiang, you are indeed extraordinary. Don't worry, I'll take note. There is one more thing I want to report to you."

His expression was a little complicated: "Your influence on Sima Jing..."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Don't worry, just say it."

Yun Qiu bowed with some apology: "Yun Qiu, to be honest, it is not that strong anymore."

Jiang Fan had expected that he would eventually lose control if he was not around, and Sima Jing was eager to regain his position, so his approach would not satisfy him very much.

"Unless you return to him completely, naturally no one can replace you, but now it seems... this is impossible." Yun Qiu said seriously.

"It is indeed impossible... but you can replace me."

At this point, there is no possibility of turning back. Jiang Fan plans to let Sima Jing and Yun Qiu do what he wants.

Yun Qiu's face was happy. This was Miss Jiang's recognition, and it also showed that she still regarded him as a confidant.

"Don't worry, girl. No matter who you are or what you want to do, Yun Qiu will be your most loyal supporter." He said solemnly with infinite paranoia.
