Fish swimming around the world

Jiazi said with appreciation, "Yes, you are right on these two points, and you are worthy of the name of a wise man. Seeing the misfortune of Xia and the fierceness of Qin, the six countries will definitely regard Western Qin as their most powerful enemy. In comparison, Other disputes can be left alone, but that is not the situation they want. It is easier to prevent being choked. War is caused by countless big forces. These wars are composed of small wars. These wars will have various purposes, such as annexing territory, plundering people, and sweeping away wealth. And these two people obviously have the purpose of annexing everything. So, they need to digest that the war is not just about winning. It’s enough, how to hold it, how to transport it, and how to plan the next step all take time.”

Jiaxu obviously understands this truth.

"Indeed, just like when Wei Wu captured Handcheng, it only took three days and one battle, but it took four years for Handcheng to truly become the territory of Wei and become an important strategic fortress."

Jiazi nodded: "There are many problems in the front line, the rear, population, people's livelihood, food roads, and city gates. If you are not careful, there are all kinds of possibilities. King Chu Ling was just greedy for power and rushed in, and the territory he conquered was astonishingly large. However, they completely lost control. In the end, they even became a lone army and went deep into the occupied areas. They besieged the Dianchi Lake and cut off their retreat. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food and were completely defeated. They died in a foreign land with hatred. "

He stared at Jiaxu seriously: "You are our military advisor, my most valued think tank. You must understand that war is not a simple matter. Watch their rhythm carefully and don't be led away."

Jiaxu responded: "I understand, but brother, as a military advisor, I don't have the confidence to fight against Jiang Fan's military advisor that day."

Jiazi patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you are a man of great talent. Don't belittle yourself. The so-called wise man will make mistakes every time he considers. And many times, as long as he makes one mistake, he will be doomed. Jiang Fan is not a god either."

Jiaxu took a deep breath: "Then, what will Zhang Yi do..."

Jiazi smiled faintly: "He is the one doing the business, just watch."

"But what about you? Changsheng is also looking at you, whether you want to be this saint."

Jiazi asked, "What do you think, brother Xian?"

"I don't know, but I secretly think that our withdrawal from Taihua Mountain is equivalent to breaking open the mountain gate. Why should this holy throne be left outside?"

Jiazi smiled leisurely: "Yes, the martial alliance without the Holy Lord is not as orthodox as others..."

When the Western Qin Dynasty sent troops in response to the imperial edict, the happiest person was the King of Jin.

He almost jumped up, holding the battle report in his hand and glowing with joy.

"Sir! It's starting, they're starting!"

Duke Bai Shi also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's amazing. Everything is under his control. The crisis in our Jin country will be over soon."

"Counterattack!" Sima Ji's peaceful brows became sharp for the first time. He had endured it for too long. He didn't dare to show it during the day. He tossed and turned all night, tortured by endless worries and fears. He was afraid that one wrong move would destroy the foundation of Jin State. In my own hands, I never want to live this kind of life again.

Bai Shigong nodded: "It's a great opportunity for the Xia army to retreat across the board. It's time for us to beat them hard."

Sima Ji's eyes were cold: "They abandoned all the occupied cities, but took away countless money, grain and young men, burned countless city passes, and killed livestock for no reason. This is draining our muscles, bones and blood. This hatred is not Repay me and swear not to be a human being! Send an order to Yang Wudi and beat me hard all the way into Xia Realm. If they take it from me, I will take it from him!"

Bai Shigong said: "There is also Wei State. Now Wei State has no losses and has strong soldiers and horses. The literary camp alone is not enough."

"I understand that since Lu Qinghou has withdrawn his troops, the same will happen on the southern front. Yang Xuanyi and Yang Xuancao will be free to launch a counterattack against Wei."

Bai Shigong pondered for a while: "I believe that the focus should be on recovering the lost territory at the moment, and as for going abroad to fight..."

Sima Ji shook his head: "We can do it here in Wei, but not in Xia. Otherwise, Jin will become a soft persimmon that everyone bullies. If he can beat him today, he can do it tomorrow. We can't get to this situation. What's more, Jiang Fan needs us to fight in Xia, so we must break into Xia's homeland and suppress the Xia army as much as possible to reduce the pressure on Qin."

Mr. Bai Shi nodded: "What the king said makes sense, then I will go and inform Mr. Yang personally."

"No, no, I have another candidate for this matter. Sir, I want to visit Chen State immediately and tell Feng Chen that we can put an end to the past..."

Bai Shigong was stunned: "The hatred of southern Shanxi..."

"That's not hatred, it's strategy, it's a necessary sacrifice. Now, Fengchen and I are the weakest, and he... also needs allies."

Bai Shigong's expression changed: "I seem to understand what the king means. You want to unite the weak and strengthen yourself to guard against Western Qin..."

"That's right." Sima Ji's eyes were deep: "Qin Taiqiang, although we are allies, if we remain passive, we will become the real weak, and our life and death will be in the hands of others. As an ally, I don't want to become a dependency in the end. Once Ying Wushuang pacifies the Xia Kingdom, Are you sure that she won't set her sights on our country, Jin? She is so ambitious that she wants to swallow up the whole world, so we have to take precautions."

Bai Shigong's expression became solemn. He knew that this was a long-term plan, and it was particularly suitable at the moment, because Fengchen and Qin were obviously allies. At this time, Jin Chen formed an alliance, and Qin could not say anything.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and I understand. However, should we send someone to the Qin State?"

Sima Ji took a deep breath: "Leave it to Marquis Donglin, I think... it's time for him to leave..."

——

"Chen Guo, make it through."

Feng Chen sighed and sat down on the throne. For the first time in so many days, he looked relieved.

Huang Luo also took off her helmet for the first time. Since Xia and Taiyue launched a large-scale attack on Chen, she had never taken off her armor, and her battle robe was stained with black blood.

"But we lost 50,000 soldiers in the battle, lost four cities in Daizhou, and the three states of the imperial capital were also penetrated. Fourteen cities were reduced to ruins. The situation was in tatters."

Indeed, Feng Chen suffered too much loss this time. The Feng family had a total of 200,000 Crusaders. Except for the 50,000 who could not move in the northern border, 150,000 people were almost all involved in the battle, not including the 100,000 new troops recruited after the establishment of Chen. If the casualties of the new troops are counted, the number reached a terrifying 100,000, which shows how fierce and cruel this battle was.

Feng Chen just smiled: "We can fight back the lost territory and population, but the morale is not good. Compared with these losses, we can resist the crazy invasion of 400,000 troops, which is really worth being proud of."

Indeed, this is indeed worth being proud of, but Feng Chen also knows that the premise is that he is well prepared, got the news in advance, and has the support of Jiang Fan and Jin State. But no matter what, he did not destroy the plan of the Northern Frontier, and he did not even use the power of the Search God Temple to resist the full force of the Xia State.
