Fish swimming around the world

It can be said that Yinglu and his son fought extremely calmly, while the Jin State was not only aggrieved, but in less than a month since the war began, it had already lost nearly 200,000 horses, accounting for more than 20% of the country's total troops.

"Isn't this a turtle tactic? Zhang De is so stupid."

Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed.

Wu Qu said: "It's too late to adjust. Zhang De should attack strongly from the beginning and mobilize surrounding states and counties to harass and contain the opponent's momentum. This battle will still be fought."

Jiang Fan said: "Let's wait and see. If the Jin State does not take effective measures, the entire south bank of Longjiang River will be lost."

"Mr. Baishi should have realized the importance of the coach." Wu Qu said.

"That's right, as soon as Zhang De set off, the only visionary national master among the civil servants proposed to use the old commander Yang Wanshou. What's funny is that the King of Jin is still hesitant."

"It's not entirely the King of Jin's fault. Many forces in the country are wary of Mr. Yang, and they have not played a good role. Some people even take this opportunity to seek power. This Jin country is too decadent and has completely inherited the legacy of the late Zhou Dynasty. That stupid style of using culture to suppress military power. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, I don’t know how they managed to survive today.”

Wu Quhe was speechless.

"The existence of the Jin State is due to three things. First, it is loyal to Mount Tai and has its backing; second, Master Wen Qiuyan leads the world's literati and has a great reputation; third, the country is rich and has raised many soldiers. horse."

"Unfortunately, biased thinking will eventually be destroyed. In troubled times, only an invincible and powerful army is the right path, and an invincible and powerful army depends on a strong commander."

"That's right, if the chaos continues, even if the Jin Dynasty regains its old commander, I'm afraid he will be unable to recover. This matter... I'm afraid it depends on Sima Ji. If no measures are taken, I will become the king of the country."

"Has the Lord received the news? How did Taiyue react?"

Jiang Fan pursed his lips and smiled: "This is the most interesting, Taiyue...it is said that there are different opinions and I haven't made up my mind yet."

Wu Qu chuckled: "It seems that Taiyue is also weighing the situation."

Jiang Fan said: "Not only that, I'm afraid that the power of Wei and Xia in Taiyue is also playing a role. But... if nothing happens, Taiyue will speak out sooner or later. They don't want to lose the best horseman of Jin, Xiang. I am too ambitious and Taiyue doesn’t like such people.”

Wu Qu was also very interested: "If Taiyue issues an edict, how do you think Xiang Chen will deal with it?"

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "It depends on how far the war goes. If Xiang Chen goes smoothly, he can completely ignore it. After all, even if Taiyue wants to forcibly stop it, it will need the help of the other four countries, but now Wei and Xia are basically participants. Qin is neutral, three to one, and Taiyue is in trouble."

Wu Qu nodded: "What if we encounter huge resistance, or... reap enough benefits?"

"Xiang Chen also knew in his heart that it was impossible to overthrow the Jin State. I guess his last thought was to divide the Huangsha River to rule it, and to ensure that the Longjiang River was drawn as a boundary. If there is no benefit in continuing the fight and the effort will be thankless, He does not rule out using Taiyue as an excuse to start peace talks."

"It's just that now, the benefits still belong to Xiang Chen. King Wei and King Xia are not enough. I'm afraid they won't be so anxious to end the war."

"That is natural, so they must be active in Taiyue, which is why the Five Elders did not issue an edict. But how much do the two countries want? This is a question."

"It's not that big, so naturally it won't be too much. They should be measured." Wu Qu saw it clearly.

"So, the root cause lies in King Jin's reluctance to part with it. Now it's time for him to think about it. If he wants to understand and benefit the two countries, they will naturally stop, at least they will not help Xiang Chen anymore. Because they don't want Xiang Chen to do anything. I got too much.”

"In other words, we are all waiting for a degree."

"That's right, Jin is the most troublesome. Only by withstanding Xiang Chen's attack can they possibly make Xiang Chen change his mind, and can they make Taiyue make up his mind as soon as possible."

The two of them discussed the situation while fishing.

What Jiang Fan is more interested in is that besides the current war, there is also an episode in the middle.

It was on the seventh day of July that Fengchen, who was fighting in Fengdu, encountered a super strong man. According to the news from Ji Le, the ghost gate of Fengdu opened wide that night, a sinister wind blew, and there was a strong man whose face could not be seen clearly. He personally fought with Feng Chen for three hundred rounds. Then, the two sides suddenly reached a truce and seemed to be negotiating. After dawn, Feng Chen suddenly led his troops to evacuate Fengdu.

"My lord, who do you think this person is?"

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth: "The gate of hell is open, and a sinister wind is blowing... It seems that that person is indeed in Fengdu."

Wu Qu said: "The ghost of Huangquan is handsome?"

Jiang Fan nodded: "Fengchen, finally forced out this ghost commander, Tu Xiao, for me."

Wu Qu was a little surprised: "Have you been using Fengchen?"

Jiang Fan said: "The reason why I pointed the clue to Huangquan Sect is for this matter. The Ghost Commander is hidden too deep and his power is too terrifying. Most people really can't force him to come out. But..."

He thought about it and smiled: "This day is quite interesting."

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the door of ghosts opens wide. Is there really a special reason, or is the ghost commander just playing tricks on him? Jiang Fan felt that there was a strong possibility that there was a special reason. After all, Fengchen had harassed Fengdu for so long, and the ghosts like the Bullhead and Horseface suffered heavy losses. Without a special reason, the Ghost King shouldn't have been hiding. If it were said that he was unwilling to come out at all, , that’s not right either, isn’t this coming out?

"My Lord..." Wu Qu was puzzled: "Why do you have to force the Ghost King to come out? Once he and Feng Chen clarify the facts and find out that you are the one who is interfering, won't they have another powerful enemy? And he is not just a normal one."

Jiang Fan smiled: "He is indeed very powerful, otherwise why would it take the Demon Marshal and the Dragon Marshal to restrain him. But..."

He narrowed his eyes: "Demon Marshal, I know why this Dragon Marshal never shows up..."

Wu Qu was slightly startled: "My Lord wants to force the Dragon Marshal out through him?"

Jiang Fan laughed: "I am very interested in some people and some things. I want to see the three marshals of the imperial court."

Wu Qu said with some admiration: "My Lord is very courageous, but these are the three marshals of the imperial court. They were the top figures in the world in the past. It is not appropriate for you to provoke them at the same time..."

Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "No, no, it would be inappropriate to provoke only one, three... to balance..."

Wu Qu was thoughtful after hearing this.

Jiang Fan said calmly: "And I, whether I like it or not, will have to deal with the three marshals sooner or later."

Wu Qu thought for a moment, and seemed to understand something in his heart: "My Lord..."

Jiang Fan shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to continue.
