Fish swimming around the world

The empress looked at the map: "Why not? Feng Chen has been planning the Northern Frontier for a long time. Even the entire Feng family has been managing the Northern Frontier for hundreds of years."

"But..." Jiang Fan still found it hard to believe: "That's the barbarian tribe, and King Hunxie is still alive..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

The empress looked at him: "You seem to remember that the last time you came back from the Northern Frontier, you said that Feng Chen seemed to be plotting to seize the throne from King Hunxie... But, seize the throne? Isn't King Ying also vying for the throne?"

Jiang Fan shuddered, and a cold light flashed across his mind.

Not bad, isn't imitating Taiyue a solution? But, will Feng Chen really simply imitate Taiyue? He always felt that there was something strange in it.

In any case, if it succeeds, it will indeed be an excellent way.

King Hunxie has vast grasslands and endless cattle and sheep, which are enough to feed Feng Chen's army. What's more amazing is that the Hunxie King's tribe is almost adjacent to the Wei Kingdom. As long as Feng Chen sends troops to attack the Caogu, he can contain the King of Wei and even the Holy Land, and then save Daizhou, and even expand it.

He took a deep breath: "What a great Feng family... This is to lure the enemy south to the five kingdoms."

What made him admire even more was the empress. All the things he mentioned about some minor details were in her mind. In her eyes, this overall view and this control of details were simply outrageous.

It must be said that this seemingly incredible speculation is not impossible to come true!

"So, how do you think we should deal with it?"

The empress shook her head: "We don't have much power in the northern border, and we can't estimate what Feng Chen will do for the time being. Now that the Dark Dynasty and King Hunxie have formed an alliance, we may find it difficult to destroy it with just a guess, unless we find evidence."

Jiang Fan frowned: "By then, it is likely that Feng Chen has succeeded."

"Yes, if Feng Chen fails, he will naturally turn against King Hunxie, which is the best. But if he succeeds, it will have a great impact on us."

Jiang Fan understood that the influence Xiao Cui mentioned was the righteousness between the barbarians and the Chinese. If we simply talk about this matter itself, it is actually a mixed blessing. On the positive side, once King Hunxie's territory is taken, it will be a big constraint on the Wei Kingdom. The bad side is also very intuitive. Not only will Feng Chen be more difficult to suppress, but he will also pose a threat to the Chinese.

"I think we can't let him succeed. Feng Chen needs to be suppressed. We don't need a real seventh prince. We don't need a prince who ignores national justice."

The empress nodded and stretched out her hand to draw a circle on the map: "It's best to force Feng Chen to curl up in this area. He won't die, but it's hard to stretch out."

Jiang Fan observed carefully and found that the empress planned half of Daizhou and a place on the border of Wei and Jin.

This place is just like those small forces near the border of Qin State. There are three forces entrenched here. The largest one is the force called Hou Zhao established by Xin Chengjun and the remaining troops after the defeat of Zhao State in the past.

These three forces almost own the land of three states, but they survived miraculously. The main reason is Dayan Mountain and Jintang River. Dayan Mountain spreads from north to east, dividing Wei and Jin here, and Jintang River, which flows along Dayan Mountain, forms a plain between Dayan Mountain and Dayan Mountain.

Since the establishment of Wei and Jin, the two sides have always insisted on the division of the border and have been in constant conflict. Of course, this is also one of the key factors for Jinxia to establish an alliance to attack Wei.

Wei believed that the border should be bounded by the Jintang River, that is, the territory of Wei crossed the Dayan Mountains and was close to the Jintang River. Obviously, Jin could not agree to this, as Dayan Mountains were a natural barrier. So Jin believed that Dayan Mountains should be used as the boundary.

The two countries refused to give in. But it was difficult for Wei to cross Dayan Mountains and occupy this place, and it was not stable even if it occupied it. Although it was easier for Jin to cross the river, Wei was much stronger than Jin, so it did not dare to easily mobilize troops to occupy it.

This special situation allowed Hou Zhao to survive in the cracks.

Later, both countries felt that Hou Zhao's presence here seemed to be good, and it could serve as a buffer zone between the two countries. As for the future, it depended on who could get it when needed.

Hou Zhao now occupied three states between the mountains and rivers, which was neither too big nor too small, just enough to allow Feng Chen to grow and not get out of control.

"Having ruined Feng Chen's plan to take down King Hun Xie, he can only hide here temporarily and wait for another opportunity." Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and said, "This is the best."

"The problem is, how to ruin it." The empress stared at the map for a moment, raised her head and looked at Jiang Fan: "Do you have any ideas?"

Jiang Fan pondered for a long time and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it."

"Keep thinking, you are the military strategist of Tian Ce." The empress once again returned to her nature of a scapegoat.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes helplessly: "I'm on a pirate ship, okay, let me think about it carefully, in case there are three people to use."

The empress just hummed and didn't ask any more questions.

"You are really relieved." Jiang Fan grinned and muttered.

The empress turned a deaf ear: "Finally, I want to tell you the most important thing."

Jiang Fan's heart moved, there is the most important thing?

The empress pressed her finger on the map: "Here."

Jiang Fan looked at it, but was stunned: "Here?"

It's no wonder he was surprised, this place is not within the scope of Da Zhou, but on the Tibetan Sea Plateau.

Although the plateau is called the Hidden Sea, it is known as the highest place in the world today, and is called the roof of the world. It has been a barren land since ancient times, with few people. It is said that only a very small number of almost uncivilized herdsmen survive there, and often there is no human habitation for thousands of miles. It is a truly wild place.

Jiang Fan didn't understand for a while. What could be more important here than those big things just now?

The empress looked more solemn than ever before: "A battle is breaking out here. An extremely fierce battle."

Jiang Fan was shocked: "What's going on? Who will compete for this place?"

The empress shook her head: "It's not a fight, it seems...a battle between heaven and man."

"What?" Jiang Fan's expression changed instantly.

The empress' eyes were solid: "Maybe it's Mr. Sun or Dao Zun."

Jiang Fan was shocked: "Did they go here? Could it be said that heavenly beings descended here?"

The empress pondered for a moment: "I'm not sure yet, but in the past two months, at least three battles have broken out here, and each time Jueshi participated."

"How did you find out?"

The empress took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and unfolded it: "Look at this."

Jiang Fan was stunned. There was actually a chessboard drawn on the silk handkerchief, with four chess pieces on it, one white and three black.

The white piece is in the center, and the three black pieces surround it on three sides, leaving only one breath.

"This is……"

The empress said slowly: "The chess records come from one person."

This person's name surprised Jiang Fan - chess master and divination prophet.

"Prophet? The best chess player in the world? How could he give you such a picture? What does he want to explain?"

The empress shook her head: "It was extremely difficult to send this picture. The person who sent it didn't know what it meant, and he died of serious injuries upon arrival."
