Fish swimming around the world

"I only ask His Royal Highness to tell you the truth."

Jiang Luo lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Exactly."

"The person you lent it to is Sima Jing of Jin State?"

Jiang Luo was surprised: "How did the Prime Minister know?"

Zhang Yi is still smiling: "Your Majesty, if you trust me, Zhang Yi, just tell me honestly."

Jiang Luo nodded cautiously: "Yes, I agreed to Sima Jing's request to lend troops, but because our Xia country is at war, it is inconvenient to interfere in other countries' affairs, so..."

"Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Huang Dao to collect the remaining 50,000 people and secretly lend them to Sima Jing."

Jiang Luo became a little cautious: "Is there something wrong...?"

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, "It's not appropriate, but it's also appropriate."

Jiang Luo was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Yi said: "It's inappropriate to say that His Royal Highness has completely cut off our possibility of actually sending troops."

"Send troops?" Jiang Luo was shocked: "Why didn't I hear about it?"

Zhang Yi waved her hand: "This matter is the king's wish. At present, only the king and the truth know."

Jiang Luo said hurriedly: "Why send troops and where?"

Zhang Yi sighed slowly: "It's too late to say this. Ever since Najiang Fisherman came outside Anyi City, we have been watched by him and there is no possibility of sending troops."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Luo's eyes kept flashing and his mind was spinning rapidly.

"... Luo, have you delayed your father's important events?"

Zhang Yi shook his head slightly, "It's a mistake, but you also helped the king. That's why it's appropriate."

Seeing his confusion, Zhang Yi said: "Jiang Xiaoyao led a hundred thousand troops on a patrol. Everyone thought he was going to pacify the fiefdom, but little did they know that he had other plans. Even I didn't expect that he attacked the city with great fanfare, but then turned around and fired. , came straight to Anyi, as if a nail had been nailed on us. It turned out that this person had seen through the king's plan, and a hundred thousand troops were prepared for this. The old man and the king were also surprised, and secretly rejoiced that they had not sent out troops yet. , If you hadn’t borrowed unrelated soldiers in advance, we would have had no chance of intervening in this matter.”

Jiang Luo was extremely shocked, and finally, his expression became extremely solemn.

"I lent troops to Sima Jing in order to allow him to take advantage of the chaos to seize power and re-establish diplomatic relations with our Xia Kingdom... But I couldn't bear to accept Xiang Chen, so I didn't dare to involve my country in Da Xia. It happened that Huang Sanqi's son cried and asked me to be his father. I wanted to take revenge and kill Jiang Fan, so I promised to help him, and took advantage of the situation to form a private army of 50,000 Huanglong gang members and lend them to him. "

Zhang Yi nodded: "The intention is right, and the word "taking advantage of the chaos" is also used very well. It seems that the prince has also discovered the clues."

Jiang Luo's fingers trembled a little: "Is it really true?"

Zhang Yi said calmly: "Then Jiang Yulang once said that there are no eternal enemies in the world. Does the prince think that only Wei and Jin can negotiate peace?"

Jiang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "But by the Wujiang River..."

"The Battle of Wujiang was real at first. It has been fighting, but it has been fought back and forth with no results. We can't afford it. At this time, Poppy secretly proposed peace talks, and its purpose..."

"Turn the spear around and attack Jin!" Jiang Luo took a breath of air and said in shock.

"Your Majesty is smart." Zhang Yi didn't hide it.

"But, Jin is our ally..."

"It used to be." Zhang Yi corrected: "In the beginning, the Jin-Xia coalition attacked Wei, but the Jin state finally negotiated peace and broke the alliance, which caused our Xia state to fight alone against Chu and Wei. With such actions, how can we talk about allies?"

Jiang Luo's knuckles turned white, and he suppressed his voice and said: "So, we want to... carve up the Jin Kingdom?"

Zhang Yi smiled softly: "The Jin country is rich...civilians are in charge, but the generals are incompetent..."

Jiang Luo fell on the chair and said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, he finally breathed out: "May I ask the Prime Minister, is this the Prime Minister's plan?"

Zhang Yi did not hide it: "From the beginning of planning the prince's marriage, he was paralyzing the Jin State. As for the actual cooperation between the prince and the Chu State, the prince should know that it started in Jing'an."

Of course Jiang Luo knew about this. At that time, he thought Zhang Yi had plotted against both himself and Zhou Anshi, and he was very angry for a time. Today, Zhang Yi said this personally, which was completely beyond his expectation.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that the king doesn't want to involve you in. Why don't you tell me? It's to protect you. After all, you are the heir of my Xia Kingdom. There is no room for failure. It's best for the king and me to take care of everything. It’s best if you bear with it…”

Jiang Luo was stunned, not expecting Zhang Yi to say this.

"Zhou Anshi is on good terms with the Jin State because he opposes the attack on Jin. He must be captured, otherwise great things will not happen. There is no need for the prince to talk about your relationship with Marshal Zhou. Remember, what you want is not Zhou Anshi, but Daxia. You are The crown prince of Daxia really shouldn't be involved in internal political disputes. The king knows this, so why not stop him? He knows the stakes. You are the next king, so let him go. Open your eyes."

Jiang Luo was ashamed. For so long, he had been deliberately wary of Zhang Yi, but he didn't want Zhang Yi to be so open and honest. This couldn't be a lie, because his father could definitely testify, and saying it today would mean that his father was shortsighted about him. Already very dissatisfied...

But it happened that he did something again this time. Only he knew that he had very selfish motives. But the consequences were obviously very bad, and his actions triggered King Xiaoyao's plan.

Zhang Yi's visit here is obviously his father's intention, to remind himself to think about the overall situation, and to have an overall view of everything.

Breaking into a cold sweat, he was a little confused: "May I ask Prime Minister Zhang if he has made a big mistake?"

Zhang Yi shook his head: "Your move directly led to Jiang Yulang's 100,000-man army tour, which unexpectedly gave us a glimpse of Qin's thoughts. The Qin Emperor did not want our Xia Kingdom to grow stronger. That's why he stationed 100,000 troops here to convey the message that if we move, Qin will not be polite."

Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although he made a stupid move, it was not all bad. He hurriedly said: "We are not moving Qin, so why is she targeting us like this?"

Zhang Yi sighed: "She... is asking for time."

"Time?" Jiang Luo was startled.

"We need time from the four countries, time for Qin to recover. We are also trying to grow stronger during this time. Therefore, she wants to maintain a relative balance among the four countries, and cannot tolerate the emergence of a powerful country that can compete with Qin. Only in this relative balance with partial chaos can Qin gain the greatest space and benefits."

Jiang Luo's heart trembled: "What a great Ying Wushuang!"

Zhang Yi sighed: "Zhang thought he was good at strategizing, but he didn't understand the thoughts of the man and woman until the Jing'an incident. Unfortunately, under the current situation, although we know what they are trying to do, we are temporarily unable to reverse it, and can only seek to become strong as soon as possible."

"So...you and your father planned the Jing'an incident, with the goal of turning Xia into an iron plate as soon as possible to resist foreign enemies?"

"Yes, but it's a pity that all the thoughts were wasted."
