Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan was stunned when the three pieces of information were placed on the table.

The subsequent development of this matter was really unexpected.

Zhang Zhiling also shook his head: "Understatement, avoiding the important and confounding the right and wrong are all good methods."

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose: "Master summed it up well, but I didn't expect that after working for a long time, although the game was successfully broken, no one seemed to be injured."

Zhang Zhiling said: "This is a conspiracy. Things have happened and are irreversible. The best way is for each of them to deal with it in their own favorable direction."

Jiang Fan pointed to the news from the Jin Kingdom: "Although Zhou Anshi successfully escaped the catastrophe, he was still stripped of his military power. It seems that there are some other stories in it."

Zhang Zhiling said: "King Xia. From the beginning, Zhang Yi's actions have been tacitly approved by King Xia, or it is very likely that he and King Xia planned this matter."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "King Xia? He wants to kill the marshal of his own army? Is it just to fulfill Zhang Yi?"

Zhang Zhiling said calmly: "You should read more about this generation of King Xia. He is a man who is unwilling to be lonely. Zhang Yi is using him, so why isn't he using Zhang Yi? Zhou Anshi is too stable, not enterprising, and a novice. Holding a heavy army, King Xia wants to use Zhang Yi's hand to capture this person and restore his military power. "

Jiang Fan suddenly realized that he had never expected that the root of this matter lay with King Xia. Suddenly he realized that, yes, it could only be King Xia, otherwise even if Zhang Yi succeeded in killing Zhou Anshi, King Xia would still be afraid, which was definitely not what Zhang Yi wanted right now.

"What a good idea!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but admire, "I guessed it right, Zhang Yi was the one who came up with the idea. King Xia thought it was profitable, so he acquiesced in this matter."

Zhang Zhiling said: "In the game of big shots, one move can affect the whole body. Zhang Yi is smart and naturally understands that he should protect himself first and then plan for the overall situation."

"You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. What a strategist." Jiang Fan sincerely praised him.

Zhang Zhiling shook his head: "Not only that, Zhang Yi also got some benefits."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment: "Benefits?"

Zhang Zhiling pointed to the news and said, "Look at what to do with the Crown Prince Jiang Luo."

Jiang Fan picked up the spy report and read it carefully again, slowly revealing his understanding.

"……I see……"

Zhang Zhiling said: "The king of Xia was smart and punished Zhou Anshi, but he condoned Jiang Luo. He had three purposes. First, he did not want Zhang Yi's plot to conspire against Zhou Anshi to expand and trigger a huge backlash, so it gave Zhou Anshi the possibility to turn over. Secondly, it was easy. Separating Zhou Anshi and Jiang Luo turned one thing into two unrelated things, minimizing the harm. Third, he did the opposite and continued to seek marriage to show that Xia had no intention of plotting against Jin. "

Jiang Fan sighed with emotion: "King Xia, your strategy is extraordinary."

In an understatement, this matter was broken down into pieces, big things were broken down into small things, and no one could find the connection between them.

In this way, Jiang Fan also roughly understood the benefits Zhang Yi got.

First of all, although the expected effect was not achieved, Zhou Anshi was successfully held down.

Secondly, let Jiang Luo not dare to act rashly for a short time.

Both of these things were crucial to Zhang Yi's rapid expansion of power.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Yi not only escaped unscathed, but also benefited. It seems that the most important thing is to have a clear mind when doing things. Only by dealing with the most critical people can you be invincible. The key to this matter lies with King Xia. Therefore, he spared no effort to patch up Zhang Yi and deal with the aftermath.

In the end, King Xia generously transferred part of the south bank of the Longjiang River near Xiangzhou to the Jin State, which gave the Jin State a great benefit, and the Jin State would naturally not pursue this matter too much.

Zhang Zhiling said, "So, the Xia Kingdom has settled this matter."

Jiang Fan sighed: "The Xia Kingdom dealt with it extremely skillfully, but the reaction of King Jin was not strong enough."

Zhang Zhiling said: "Boy, do you think there is something wrong with King Jin's reaction?"

Jiang Fan said: "Isn't it? Although he strongly condemned it and sent envoys to ask for an explanation, after all, he was fought in his own territory and kept in the dark. It was such a big deal. How could King Jin tolerate it? "

Zhang Zhiling chuckled: "You kid, you can't fail to see it. Since you want to hear my opinion, I will tell you. You must first think of King Jin. This person is the least fond of chaos. He can turn big things into big things. Small. So the handling of this is very consistent with his mentality.

First, when the King of Jin condemned and sent envoys, he was signaling to Chu and Xia that he was asking for benefits, and by closing Xiangzhou, he understood that the King of Jin was hinting that he was demanding the land on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The troops are stationed wherever they want, and if they are given, they will be fine. And he naturally made the mistake of wanting to settle the matter. Although the two lands on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were very important, Chu Xia could bear to part with them.

Secondly, the treatment of the two princes was in line with the style of King Jin, who was most afraid of rebellion. Do you think King Jin can't understand that Sima Jing must be involved in this game? But he dealt with it in this way to calm down the two princes and avoid civil strife in Jin.

Thirdly, the Jing'an County Sheriff. After the chaos, there was a natural need for a County Sheriff who could get along well between the two princes but who was also loyal to the court. No one was more suitable than Yan Dazhi. "

Jiang Fan scratched his head: "It really depends on the person. Compared with King Xia, King Jin is indeed too soft. However, he can still handle it properly."

Zhang Zhiling pointed to the third piece of intelligence: "Chu is a bit tough."

Jiang Fan understood that Chu State was also very careful in handling this matter.

It was obvious that they sent troops to invade the territory of another country, but they casually ceded a piece of land on the north bank of the Wujiang River in Xiangzhou. There were high mountains, dense forests and deep valleys there, which really had little strategic significance, otherwise Xiang Chen would not have entered from Jing'an.

But the clever thing was that Zhou Anshi and Lai Baoer did station troops in Jin territory. If Xiang Chen was forced to be hypocritical, he might accuse Jin and Xia of forming an alliance again to attack Chu. Jin, which had just signed a peace agreement, certainly did not want to be involved in the right and wrong circle of the Four Kingdoms War again. So, Jin had to admit it.

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "This method should be done by Yu Meiren."

Zhang Zhiling said, "Yu Meiren is very accurate and does it just right. She is indeed a rare figure in the younger generation, especially as a woman, her intelligence is second to none. This time I lost to you, and revenge is inevitable afterwards, so you should also be on guard."

Jiang Fan nodded. It's not just Yu Meiren. This time he came here to mess up the situation, and he made it look like this. Who can like him? There will be a lot of troubles in the future.

"That's why I want to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Apart from anything else, this matter is only the result on the surface, not the final aftermath. Zhou Anshi, Jiang Luo, Zhang Yi, Lu Qinghou, Yinglu, Xiang Chen and other people involved, although they all have many follow-up problems to solve, but to me, they are on the same side."
