Fish swimming around the world

Does Jiang Xiaoyao want to seize Shannan by himself? Obviously it is not realistic. Qin and Shannan are separated by Xia and Wei, and Chu and Jin are also watching. Could it be that he just wanted to find a puppet?

Jiang Fan seemed to see his thoughts again and said directly: "The land of southern Shanxi is thousands of miles away from Daqin. I can't control it, so I can't eat it. However, I am not looking for a puppet. I just want to find a partner to help each other." In order to restrain this new alliance leader, it is obvious that this person must not be a mortal enemy like Sima Jing."

What he said made sense, and Sima Linfeng could understand it, but he was still full of questions.

"Then...why are you down here?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Uncle Wang, if it's not you, who else can it be? Who can make King Jin reluctantly agree? At least you are still a member of the Sima royal family, with a legitimate name. As Uncle Wang, you also have this qualification, and even more With the presence of Imperial Court’s support, isn’t this a great opportunity for you?”

Sima Linfeng took a sharp breath of air. Indeed, he was indeed the best candidate. Apart from what he said, there were two other things.

First, now that I am faced with the situation of having to escape Sima Ji's suppression, if I can go to southern Shanxi to dominate one side, it is definitely the best choice.

Second, this is the most important point. Regardless of whether he is in the game or not, he cannot escape Jiang Xiaoyao's restriction. For this person, it is perfect.

But now, Sima Ji obviously wants to be the leader of the alliance in order to obtain maximum benefits, so he cannot do without Jiang Xiaoyao's support and can only agree to his conditions.

Then, as Jiang Fan said, he will completely get rid of the dead situation of being targeted and ascend to the throne of Jinnan King in one fell swoop. Not only will he hold the actual power, but he will also become the target of Sima Ji.

And Sima Ji was obviously sure of Jiang Xiaoyao.

As for the Imperial Court, although everyone knows that the so-called "Tian En Ce" is a policy that cannot be enforced, the convening of the Dianchi Lake Meeting and the election of Sima Ji to the position shows that Jiang Xiaoyao is sure that the Imperial Court will acquiesce in this matter, and "Tui En Ce" is nothing more than a policy. Just an excuse. So……

In an instant, this extremely beautiful blueprint made his heart beat uncontrollably.

But Sima Linfeng was not an ordinary person, and the next moment he discovered a deadlock——

Chu State and southern Shanxi were occupied by Chu State. How could they agree?

But he didn't expect that his huge question would only be answered with an understatement——

You don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements.

Sima Linfeng opened his mouth, astonished and didn't know what to say.

Do you arrange it? How do you arrange it? That is the Great Chu, the Great Chu of the overlord Xiang Chen, and the great Chu of the peerless enchantress Yu Qingcheng. Such a great Chu sent 300,000 soldiers to the north and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to fight and capture the southern part of Shanxi. You can change it with just a few words. King Jinnan?

However, the young man's expression was calm and his tone was relaxed, as if it couldn't be simpler, so simple that there was no need to doubt.

Sima Linfeng was extremely confused and wanted to ask, but he knew that he couldn't ask.

I had no choice but to press the button "Endless Fear", but my train of thought was interrupted for a moment, and I didn't know how to continue.

It took a long time to recover from the trance, "...My lord, even so, that Sima Jing has real power in his hands... How can I accomplish anything alone?"

Jiang Fan gave him a strange look: "Sir, do you think I can't think of such a simple question?"

Sima Linfeng took a deep breath, suppressed his floating thoughts, cupped his hands and said, "I made a mistake."

Jiang Fan snorted softly: "Since I have chosen you, I am naturally fully prepared. What I just said are all external forces, but internal forces..."

He said slowly: "That's 50,000 troops and horses."

Sima Linfeng turned pale in horror: "Five...fifty thousand soldiers and horses?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses."

Sima Linfeng felt dizzy, and couldn't help but reach out to hold the table. What does this mean? Soldiers and horses... soldiers and horses... It turns out that it is not just a political game, but also real action.

That's right, Sima Jing can't abdicate automatically. All the external momentum just now is to lay the foundation for himself, but it is still necessary to take action, and Jiang Xiaoyao's meaning is no longer too obvious -

Raise troops and seize power with arms!

"You...you want..." His lips trembled: "You want to personally lead the troops to overthrow Sima Ji?"

Jiang Fan chuckled: "I didn't say anything, but what do you think, sir?"

What else could he think? Sima Linfeng understood that there was no way out. The only way was to use force. There might be other ways to deal with Sima Jing, but only by raising his own troops to capture the eldest prince could he truly be qualified to be the King of Jinnan and be able to truly defeat the King of Jin. The acquiescence is justified.

And these 50,000 soldiers and horses were beyond his expectation and almost unimaginable. This is not Da Qin, where did he get 50,000 soldiers and horses?

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Where did the soldiers and horses come from? Sir, there is no need to ask, but if they are there, they are there. I don't know, sir, are you brave enough?"

Sima Linfeng had goosebumps all over his body and his teeth were trembling: "Dang...dang, of course!"

Jiang Fan laughed and said, "This is so decent. You have both internal and external strength. If you don't dare to give it a try, it would be a shame for you to die."

Sima Linfeng also figured it out. The other party had already considered everything and only needed to express his position... No, he didn't need to express his position, he just wanted to show up.

"But..." Jiang Fan said nothing, and it immediately grabbed his attention.

"But...these 50,000 soldiers and horses are just lent to you. After the matter is completed, I will take them back."

Sima Linfeng immediately said: "That's natural, that's natural. How dare I hold the prince's soldiers and horses in my hands."

Jiang Fan nodded: "No matter what...you must always have something of your own."

Sima Linfeng knew that since the other party had done so much, it was time for him to take out his best assets.

After a moment of contemplation, he said: "Since Sima Ji succeeded to the throne, in order to protect ourselves, my family dared not raise soldiers. But..."

His eyes flashed: "There are still some things to save lives. I have 10,000 private soldiers, borrow..."

He glanced at Jiang Fan: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I took advantage of the opportunity of the Demon-Slaying Alliance to hide in it..."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "Very good, it's time to take it out."

Sima Linfeng sighed, knowing that the time to get serious has come, success or failure depends on this move, and this little family property must be shaken out.

"Also... I can prepare 5 million taels of military expenses, and I will give them all."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Of course you have to figure out the military expenses yourself. These are probably enough for 100,000 people for a month, so your time is limited."

"100,000?" Sima Linfeng was stunned: "Your Majesty has 50,000, and I have 10,000, so there are only 60,000 people..."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Sir, you mentioned the Demon Killing Alliance just now, have you forgotten your identity?"

Sima Linfeng certainly didn't forget, he was the only remaining deputy leader, but the Demon Killing Alliance...

He couldn't figure it out for a while.

Jiang Fan looked at him: "I'll just tell you one thing, the Thousand Buddha Temple will soon fail under the suppression of this king, the King of Jin and the Southern Sect..."
