Fish swimming around the world

Sima Ji had seen with his own eyes the strength of the Yuzhou Army. Once such a special force was sent to the Wei border, the King of Wei had to be cautious at that time. If there was no need to fight, Wei itself would shrink its pace.

"In addition, General Li De will also lead a force of about 50,000 people to approach the border of Xia Kingdom. He will support Brother Sima in a high-profile manner. This will also be a big constraint for Xia Kingdom. I don't believe that Marquis Lu Qing is not cautious."

Sima Ji exhaled a breath: "In this way, the pressure will indeed be greatly reduced. But... Brother Yu knows, what result does Qin want after sending troops?"

Indeed, this was what he was most worried about.

And this is what Jiang Fan really wants to give him, at least for some time in the future.

Jiang Fan unfolded the map: "Qin will send troops, and then the five kingdoms of Qin, Dian, Chu, Jin, and Chen will attack Xia. The result is also obvious. Qin will leave Zanggu Pass and occupy the western border of Xia. Dian will gain In terms of wealth and population, Dian and Chu will equally divide the land of Pingzhou, Luanzhou, Qiuzhou, and Ningzhou, and Chu will add half of southern Shanxi. Jin will expel Xia and Wei, and even push the national border. Baili, occupying the plain area east of the Huaihe River, and at the same time half of southern Shanxi will return. Finally, the Chen Kingdom will definitely occupy the Dayan Mountain Pass, and at least one state will be obtained by that time. If it is not destroyed yet, if it has been destroyed, Qin will occupy half of it, and the other five countries will divide it. What does Brother Sima think?"

Sima Ji's eyes brightened. This result was good enough. Although the Jin State got the least, it was completely satisfied with regaining half of southern Jin Dynasty and occupying the rich and rich Huaidong Plain.

But what he was worried about was how big Qin's appetite was and whether it could be satisfied.

"Among the seven kingdoms, Qin is the strongest. Does it only want half of Xia?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and said directly: "Of course not. We also want it all, but we can't do it. On the one hand, it is a geographical problem. Mountains and rivers separate us, making governance difficult. On the other hand, being too greedy will prompt the princes to join forces to fight against Qin. Qin does not want to repeat history. It will take several years for governance and stability to capture half of Xia. You know, half of Xia is enough to expand Qin's territory by one-third. When it stabilizes, hehe, I, Da Qin, The territory of the Seven Kingdoms is already the largest. As for the future, Brother Sima, everything in the future will depend on chance..."

His reasonable analysis, coupled with his ultimate greed for the future, finally allowed Sima Ji to temporarily put aside most of his thoughts.

"By the way," Jiang Fan stared at him: "Qin and Jin formed an alliance. After the fall of Xia, you and I united and completely severed Chu and Wei. It was extremely difficult for them to unite again. But at this time, Maybe we can attack Wei from a flank, or Jin can help me guard Chu, and Qin can attack Wei... It's not impossible..."

He took a longer strategic view, letting Sima Ji see his importance to Qin, and finally let go of the rest of his thoughts. At this point, he can feel at least 80% at ease in the coming period.

This is enough. For a person like Sima Ji, it is absolutely impossible for him to be completely reassured. As long as he can see the immediate benefits and then let him see the optimal situation in the future, it will be enough to temporarily stabilize his mind. good.

And next, Jiang Fan will need him again.

When a sick man leaves Mount Tai, he needs someone to help him. Sima Ji's elder, Sanchong, will be a useful candidate.

"Although Foolish Brother is planning for himself, I have to admit that helping my elder brother is also a big deal. Can I also do something for my younger brother?"

"There is no free lunch in the world. I understand this truth. Dear brother, please tell me." Sima Ji said happily.

"Three offerings, I need three offerings to help."

Sima Ji was stunned. To be honest, he had thought about it a lot, but he had never thought of this.

"Although the third worshipper is an elder of the Sima clan, he is devoted to the Holy Land. There are some things that I cannot control. I'm afraid..."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "Brother Sima, there is no need to make excuses. Sanzong is your great-grandfather. Because of his generous and gentle character, he was respected as the King of Virtue after receiving the Zen throne. Later, he became successful in cultivating Taoism. Mount Tai valued him and invited him to serve as a shrine enshrinement. However, King De had a condition at that time, that is, if the Jin Kingdom encountered a major crisis, the Holy Land would come to help, which shows that this person has deep feelings for the Jin Kingdom, and naturally he is also very interested in you, the King of Jin. "

He looked at Sima Ji: "When the Five Kingdoms Alliance and the Dazai Succession were established, my brother asked the three ministers to come forward and try to replace the Xia Kingdom as the support of the Holy Land. During the coup in the imperial court, he even used the three ministers to get inside information, and then made a decision. Determined to choose, I don’t think I can deny this.”

Sima Ji sighed after hearing this: "As expected of the contemporary Tianhu, the information is indeed well-informed."

Jiang Fan was not surprised when he said this: "Since you have already guessed my identity, there is no need to say more about other things. I think my brother must help me with this."

Sima Ji pondered for a while: "Help, but if Taiyue is endangered, even I will not be able to convince my great-grandfather."

Jiang Fan smiled lightly: "It won't endanger you, but it will protect you."

Sima Ji was startled: "My dear brother, please speak clearly."

Jiang Fan said seriously: "From Taiyue, take out those people who are dissatisfied with the four elders and are under house arrest."

Sima Ji was horrified and moved: "This is impossible! Not to mention that he can't do it, no one else can do it."

"Don't be so absolute yet." Jiang Fan took time to rest.

"First of all, if Jin has reached this stage, he needs to seriously consider whether it can survive and whether it can regain its prosperity. Second, as far as I know, because of the alliance between Qin and Jin, he is basically classified as unworthy by Taiyue. The stable category must find a way out..."

His eyes became a little cold: "You know me well, I am good at brewing wine. If you don't accept my toast, I will brew some wine as punishment..."

Sima Ji's face changed slightly. Jiang Fan's words were right. For the sake of Jin State and the three worshippers, he had reasons to do it. Moreover, Sima Ji believed Jiang Fan's words. In order to achieve his goal, he had countless unexpected means to make you obey.

"Brother Sima, you and I are in a strong alliance and are as close as brothers. I don't want to cause any unpleasantness. After all, drinking a penalty is not tasty. Please think twice."

Sima Ji was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Brother, you and I should indeed cooperate seamlessly. Since it has come to this, I will personally meet my great-grandfather, but even if he agrees, one person can't do it. Can you make any arrangements?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Of course, you might as well tell your brother that the sick elder is also in the plan. In fact, it is also very simple to ask the three worshippers to do it. Brother, don't worry too much. Just listen to my arrangements when the time comes."

Sima Ji finally nodded: "Since there is still the sick elder, I am also relieved. Just listen to your brother. But..."

He looked at Jiang Fan with a strange look: "Brother, you have just divided Taihua and are designing Taiyue... This move is too big and too radical."
