Fish swimming around the world

But then when we started taking action, we still had to cross a long stretch of Wei territory.

And this matter must be attributed to Cao Zijian. He was in charge of Wei's waterways and directly opened up Canglan, even allowing them to enter with black-sailed merchant ships.

So couldn't King Wei and Sima Ru see it?

Of course they could see it, but just as they turned a blind eye to the Yuzhou Army, they also chose to ignore this sudden appearance of troops. It's not that they were too bold, but when they saw Cao Zijian operating, they knew it was still Jiang Fan's handiwork.

What's more, Cao Zijian had met with the King of Wei and the Imperial Preceptor in advance. He didn't say much. He just analyzed the situation of the five kingdoms once the King of England succeeded. The King of Wei was so scheming. Without him having to say much, he knew that it would be best to disrupt the layout of the Holy Land. . What's more, Cao Zijian also brought the benefits that Jiang Fan pointed out. He could take revenge on the Xia Kingdom that attacked him not long ago, and he could take advantage of the chaos to take back the land occupied by the Xia Kingdom. King Wei was not too happy about it.

In fact, this is the case now. After the Chu State raised its troops, the King of Wei just followed Cao Zijian's suggestion and dispatched General Huo to move to the Wei-Xia border. It seemed that he was taking precautions to protect himself, but in fact, he was giving the Xia State, which was being attacked by Qin and Chu, It brought a huge sense of crisis, and he quickly sent envoys to negotiate with the King of Wei, which paid a lot of benefits.

Therefore, Hu Guanshan's divine soldiers descended from the sky, in the final analysis, it was an advance arrangement.

But Hu Guanshan never dreamed that Jiang Fan's effort was so huge. When he learned the whole story from Emperor Ping and the Crown Prince, he couldn't help but take a breath, and then he felt extremely happy.

I'm glad I chose to be an ally with him instead of his enemy.

"The alliance leader's handiwork is so unpredictable..." Hu Guanshan filled Jiang Fan's glass with emotion.

"Haha, it's just a little trick. I don't deserve Brother Hu's praise."

Hu Guanshan shook his head, "Since Hu has accepted the position of King of the North, please don't call me that again, let alone..."

His expression was extremely complicated: "My lord is still the emperor's grandson."

Jiang Fan smiled and waved his hands: "These are on the table, but in private, we should still treat each other as brothers. I like to be more comfortable, and Brother Hu knows that."

Hu Guanshan sighed and cupped his hands: "Then Hu is disrespectful. But, is this Brother Jiang or Brother Ji..."

Jiang Fan smiled: "It's good as before. Oh, by the way, when we formed the alliance earlier, I said that once such a war occurs, I will be responsible for all the food and grass consumption. Now the Black Sail Gang will transport food and grass to Baicheng, Brother Hu can Don’t be polite to your little brother.”

He did what he said, and Hu Guanshan was naturally more happy and convinced.

"Brother Yu will not be polite, but I feel a little guilty. After all, this trip is what I, the King of Zhenbei, should do, and I have already received a lot of benefits from the imperial court."

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Everything is as it should be, and the benefits are probably more than that."

Hu Guanshan was startled: "No need, this is enough."

Jiang Fan said: "It's a passive benefit. One of them is that the Feng family is also a participant in this incident. Now, after Yudi's persuasion, they will completely withdraw from Xingluo Guard. From now on, the Hu family is clean."

Hu Guanshan was immediately overjoyed: "It's so good, I have to thank my dear brother."

Jiang Fan said: "Why bother saying thank you? If things are done, there will always be results. This is just one of them. There is also a second passive benefit. Since the Hu family has sent troops to serve the emperor, it naturally shows that they are willing to join the world and can justifiably rebuild Baicheng." , giving the tribe a more solid and stable place to stay.”

Hu Guanshan nodded: "Indeed, the world will be in chaos in the future. The Hu family decides to join the world and needs a stronghold. Baicheng will start rebuilding according to Xiandi's plan. It just needs to be done quickly, Xiandi needs a sufficient supply of cement."

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "That's a small problem. I have already made arrangements. The first batch should have arrived by now. But Brother Hu, I have a request. I hope Brother Hu can complete the repairs within half a year."

Hu Guanshan's expression changed slightly: "So tight?"

Jiang Fan nodded solemnly: "Yes, it can actually be looser, but things are unpredictable, and I'm not sure. It's best to complete it as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Hu Guanshan said immediately: "My Hu family has 200,000 people, and 100,000 are young and strong. It's just for repairs. It won't be used for half a year. Give me four months to ensure the completion."

Jiang Fan was overjoyed: "That's perfect, but I suggest that only troops be stationed in Baicheng, not civilians."

Hu Guanshan nodded: "Brother Yu understands that the garrison is for future battles. I will arrange for ordinary tribesmen to still rely on the Taibai Mountains to disperse and hide. We are too familiar with it, and no one can completely wipe out the Hu family in Taibai, a thousand miles away."

"Brother Hu, it's good that you understand. I won't say more about this. To wake up Brother Hu, I think I will meet someone from the King of Wei on the way back. If nothing else, it might be Sima Ru."

Hu Guanshan frowned: "He? He won't stop him, but he should be able to ask questions."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Ask you about my relationship."

Hu Guanshan laughed loudly: "Simple, Jiang Xiaoyao provided funds to help the Hu family rebuild Baicheng. Therefore, I, the Hu family, agree to follow the orders of the Prime Minister to go out and give Jiang a strong reputation."

Jiang Fan clapped his hands: "Brother Hu is so clever. I don't think Old Fox Sima can find fault with him. Especially after the war, the Ping Emperor conferred generous gifts, which seems to indicate that the Human Emperor is the one who really summoned the Hu family. Even if Sima Ru doubts , there is no way to verify it.”

Hu Guanshan blinked: "The Hu family is known as the iron door bolt, but they are not rough people. We are foxes..."

Jiang Fan patted the table and said with a smile: "What I'm talking about is that the Guanshan Iron Guard sounds rough, but in fact they are from the Fox Clan."

Hu Guanshan smiled and said: "So, I will take the opportunity to make friends with Mr. Sima and reach some contacts."

Jiang Fan raised his thumb: "No problem."

Hu Guanshan is brave and resourceful, cunning as a fox, and has a reason for advance and retreat, so Jiang Fan is completely relieved.

Finally, Hu Guanshan said something that surprised Jiang Fan.

The Hu family is about to go to Yunchi to hold a sacrificial ceremony. All the elders of the Hu family will attend. At that time, Hu Guanshan will advocate it, and the high priest will convey the will of the demon god to establish Hu Xiaoling as the young master of the Hu family. In the future, he will take over the Hu family after Hu Guanshan.

Hu Xiaoling had agreed to this matter at the beginning, but she was not completely sure, and her mind was somewhat erratic. Now I didn't expect that the Hu family would hold such a grand ceremony.

After a brief surprise, Jiang Fan understood that this was the result of his display of strength and wisdom this time.

Hu Guanshan's current problem is to ask Jiang Fan to do Hu Xiaoling's work on his behalf, hoping that she can agree to this matter.

Jiang Fan immediately agreed, but also explained that in the end, Hu Xiaoling's opinion would still be the main one.

After Hu Guanshan left, the sky was slightly bright. This was the time when most people were sleeping soundly, so Jiang Fan did not expect that Master Tianxuanzi, who was the sleepiest, would come to look for him at this time.

"Master? Why are you here? This is not like your style." Jiang Fan stood up with a little surprise and invited Master to take a seat.
