Therefore, we fell into a strange circle. If we wanted to cross the river, we would need their help, but if we wanted their help, we would have to cross the river. Sima Jing was also a little worried and had no idea what to do.

The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it is for him. The Jin State was initially panicked because it was negligent in fighting and was retreating steadily. But now it has calmed down, armies from all walks of life have been rapidly gathering, and the strength and weakness of the army are changing.

, in less than a month, when Yang Wudi completed the assembly of his army, Sima Jing could only huddle in the four states on the south coast, and he had to always be on guard against the invasion of the army.

There is another key issue, which is Taiyue.

The war is gradually stabilizing, and Jin's voice has begun to return. The news from Taiyue is very bad. The Five Elders seem to be considering issuing a decree to end the war. By that time, the Chu army, which has received enough benefits, will definitely give

With Taiyue's face, he himself became a lone soldier.

Without the powerful Chu army, Sima Jing had no hope of crossing the river. He would then face Sima Ji's liquidation, and the situation would inevitably be very unfavorable.

Although the Chu army will provide certain help in order to control the land in southern Shanxi, it will never be as helpful as it is now. What's more, Sima Jing's original intention is to regain the throne, so what can he do in a corner? A good opportunity seems to be quietly coming.

Leave.

Facing the anxious Sima Jing, Mu Qiuyun gave him an interesting suggestion.

Negotiate with the Chu State and hand over all the land in southern Shanxi to Chu, and then petition the Chu State to enthrone him as the King of Jinnan in the Chu State. He will pay tribute every year and become a minister year after year. This way he can save his life and use the entire southern Shanxi to fight against Sima.

spine.

This idea must be said to be very clever, but the question is, can Chu State agree to it?

In this regard, Mu Qiuyun proposed another solution, which was to return military power to Chu and political power to Sima Jing. All the 180,000 troops and horses under his command would be given to Chu, and even the four states that Sima Jing regarded as his base camp would be given to Chu.

Also handle it the same way.

Although he temporarily lost his military strength, he could get the full support of the Chu State. In this way, even in northwest Shanxi, the Chu Army would never allow Yang Wudi to cross the river.

In this way, Sima Jing can get a chance to breathe. Only by saving his life can he fight Sima Jing to the end, and then look for opportunities to escape from Chu's control in the future.

And there is another advantage: completely surrendering to Chu State, you can completely get rid of the control of Wei and Xia in the future.

I have to say that Jiang Fan found this idea very exciting. This was equivalent to overturning the original agreement. Shannan was handed over to Chu as a whole, and he also got an army of 180,000 soldiers. All he paid for it was administrative power.

It would be much easier to govern Jin with Jin people than it would be for Chu State to do it on its own.

Of course, Xiang Chen's tiger thing may not agree, but there is a poppy. She should be able to see the benefits. She can make a lot of money in southern Shanxi without having to pay. This is a good deal. The only problem is that Chu State cannot

It is expected that Sima Jing's army will fight against the Jin army, but this is what he has to pay to exercise military power, and there is nothing to say.

Moreover, Poppy had to consider constantly betting on Sima Jing. After all, once Yang Wudi breaks through Sima Jing's defense line, Shannan will still be in danger. This is very possible. By then, Shanxi will be in a mess again, and Chu will be in trouble.

Obviously he doesn't want to see this kind of thing.

However, having said that, Meiren Yu can obviously see through Sima Jing's intentions. There are pros and cons in implementing this matter, it all depends on how she weighs it.

Only Jiang Fan took another high look at Mu Qiuyun. This guy could do it. He was born to be a strategist. He could even come up with such a genius idea as separating military and political affairs. Jiang Fan even felt that if he was given a chance, he might not be as good as Mu Qiuyun.

That Lu Qinghou Chai.

"If the Chu State does not agree, what retreat do you have?"

When he became interested, Jiang Fan wanted to test him.

Mu Qiuyun responded calmly.

The method is very simple. If you don't agree, the Longjiang Shannan coast will be divided into two sections. One is in the hands of the Chu State, and the other is in the hands of Sima Jing. There is no need to consider the Chu State. His advice to Sima Jing is to grasp it with both hands.

.

First, use all the efforts of the four states to build the Longjiang defense line.

Second, actively seek the support of the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Xia, agree to all their conditions, and even cede land, but also keep a place to stay and wait for the opportunity.

This is not a clever strategy, but it is very practical. Mu Qiuyun sees it very clearly. Only by saving your life can you look forward to the future. As for face, reputation, land, and wealth, they are not important. These are all things that need to be considered after winning the throne of Jin.

.

Finally, Mu Qiuyun even said that if the Chu State really disagreed, apart from the possibility that the Minzhou section would be conquered by the Jin State and threaten the entire southern Shanxi, there was another possibility that could threaten the Chu State, that is, Sima Jing used the same method.

He voted for Wei or Xia. Obviously, this made Chu feel very awkward.

He was thorough and considerate, and he acted both soft and hard. Mu Qiuyun was a great talent! No wonder he could encourage Sima Jing to abandon his plan and start an uprising.

Jiang Fan finally completely changed his view of this person, and then came up with the idea of ​​cultivating him.

"Mu Qiuyun..."

He just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Mu Qiuyun, who cupped his hands and said: "I still hope you call me Yunqiu. This is the name you gave me."

"Okay, Yun Qiu, since you have the intention, go ahead and do it, but there is one thing I want to remind you, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Getting rid of you is easier than breathing for me...

"

While he was talking, Yun Qiu suddenly found that there was an extra hand on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but feel horrified. With his own cultivation level, he didn't even notice that there was another person behind him.

Looking back, I saw a handsome man with long silver hair standing behind him with a smile, and the palm was his.

After taking in the air-conditioning, Yun Qiu was not afraid, but even more excited: "Miss Jiang, you are indeed extraordinary. Don't worry, I have written it down. There is something else I want to tell you."

His expression was a little complicated: "Your influence over Sima Jing..."

Jiang Fan nodded: "Don't worry, just say it."

Yun Qiu bowed his hands in apologetic manner: "Yun Qiu tells the truth, he is no longer that powerful."

Jiang Fan had already expected that without him, he would eventually lose control. Moreover, given Sima Jing's eagerness to regain his position, his own approach was not very satisfying to him.

"Unless you completely return to him, naturally no one can replace you, but now it seems... this is impossible." Yun Qiu said seriously.

"It's really impossible...but you can replace me."

The matter has come to this, and there is no possibility of turning back. Jiang Fan plans to simply let Sima Jing and Yun Qiu do what they want.

Yunqiu's face lit up, this was Miss Jiang's recognition, and it also showed that she still regarded him as her confidant.
