It is said that once, a state captain entertained him at a banquet. During the dinner, his concubine in the eighteenth room, who was as beautiful as a flower, came out to perform a dance. As a result, the old man fell into his old ways and stared at others like a nymphomaniac. The concubine in the eighteenth room felt that It was funny, so I asked him what he was thinking about with such a strange look on his face, and the guy just said, "I have such a good waist, it will be comfortable to sleep with my arms around me."
As a result, of course, he was kicked out by the national captain, and hundreds of experts were sent to chase him like a rabbit for six thousand miles, until he left the country.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan was frightened. Don't be fooled by Poppy...
But it was too late. Poppy was originally a lively person. When she heard this, she was curious and immediately asked: "Oh? So what was Senior Wenren thinking when he saw Qingcheng?"
As expected, he said in a daze: "If I want to get you, I have to kill Xiang Chen first..."
Jiang Fan's face turned dark and he almost jumped up to plug his broken mouth.
The poppy was stunned on the spot. After a while, she burst out laughing. She couldn't hold it back and even burst into tears.
Jiang Fan sat next to him with black lines on his head.
After a long while, she finally took a breath, patted her chest and said, "...the majestic wine master in white...interesting, do you know who Xiang Chen is?"
"I know. The king of Chu State, one of the five heroes in the world, naturally brave, with unparalleled supernatural power, one of the few figures in the young generation."
"Then you still dare to say it?"
The old handsome guy shook his head: "Dare to say it and dare to do it are two different things, so I have said it, I can only think about it... Alas, it is difficult for me to have all the beauties in the world."
Jiang Fan didn't want to be expelled three thousand miles away by Poppy in advance, so he quickly changed the subject: "He likes to joke, so you should pay less attention to him. Let's get down to business, is this settled?"
Poppy let out a sigh of relief: "It's decided. My sister will watch what you do next."
Jiang Fan blinked: "There is something going on right now, and I need my sister's cooperation."
"It's not possible to borrow someone else, it's inconvenient." Poppy said directly.
Of course Jiang Fan understood that she had been here openly, so it would be difficult for her to borrow someone else's money.
"It's okay, I won't borrow anyone, but... I need to borrow a place."
"Borrowing a place?"
Poppy was stunned.
Jiang Fan said: "It seems like fate. Back then, my sister borrowed Fengchen's treasure from the lake in Chu State to plot against her younger brother. Now my younger brother wants to use his sister's territory to plot against Fengchen in this lake. Isn't it heaven to drink and peck at it?" Determined. Haha."
"Borrow it here?" Poppy's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned: "This is the base of our Chu military aircraft..." Suddenly his eyes were unkind: "Are you trying to hunt rabbits again?"
"No, no, sister misunderstood, that's what happened. Fengchen was just schemed against by me, and he was very angry. He was trying to make trouble for me, and I also wanted to attack his arrogance. You guys This treasure land is a good battlefield."
Poppy stared at him, becoming increasingly wary: "Why am I so worried about you...Tell me, what are you planning to do?"
Jiang Fan spread his hands and said, "Sister, you just said that you need to be grand. How come it's your turn to look like this?"
"No, you have to tell me your plan, otherwise I won't believe you."
Jiang Fan had no choice but to say: "Actually, it's very simple. The Yin Qi and moisture in Poyun Lake are heavy, which will have a certain impact on Fengchen's Zhiyang skill. I thought of setting up a game here to lure Fengchen up and then Yin him. One handful. Don’t worry, I don’t need my sister to do anything, as long as she gives up a battlefield, that’s enough.”
"Are you planning to kill Fengchen?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "I hope so."
Meiren Yu pondered for a moment: "Fengchen is not stupid. He knows that this is the center of our Chu army, how could he come in so easily."
Jiang Fan said: "I have a reason why he has to come. Sister, don't worry."
Poppy said: "I set up the formation in the lake, and you plan to do the same? I'm not worried. Who knows if you will make some big noise, and then my sister will have to admit that she is unlucky."
Jiang Fan suddenly looked into her eyes: "How big is my sister's appetite?"
Poppy looked stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Jiang Fan said slowly: "I want to ask, sister... do you really want to cross the Longjiang River?"
In an instant, Poppy's face changed drastically: "...What do you mean by this!"
Jiang Fan sighed softly: "Sister, you can't hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. The Chu army was passive in the battle some time ago. It was not because Yinglu didn't want to do it, but because the rear was being restricted. If my guess is correct, the supply of grain, grass, and warships He must not be in place... But in Chu State, who can restrain him? I'm afraid it's only you."
Seeing Poppy's increasingly moved expression, Jiang Fan licked his lips: "But here's the question, why are you doing this? Let me guess, Chu will get the most benefits from this war, while Wei and Xia secretly The benefits obtained from participating are limited. Since the three countries have reached an agreement and each has benefits, naturally the balance cannot be unbalanced. As the main combatant, Chu State can accept several times or even ten times more, but if it wants to cross the Longjiang River, it will It’s a bit too unbalanced. The other two countries will definitely not be able to sit still, and my sister will never want them to take any action, so...my brother boldly guesses that the purpose of my sister and Brother Xiang is only in southern Shanxi!"
Poppy took a breath: "You really dare to think."
"I don't dare to think about it. What I just said is just the first level of reasons. The second level is that the Chu State does not have the ability to occupy half of the Jin State at the moment. It's okay to eat when you are full, but you will vomit after eating too much. My sister understands this better than anyone else. reason."
In fact, it is not particularly easy to occupy land in this era. Why are there countless large and small wars in history? But unless you are sure to destroy the country in one fell swoop, it is usually enough to get the established benefits. The principle is very simple, just like eating, it must be digested. In this era, it is very difficult to do this due to many factors such as transportation, transportation, manpower, geographical relations, etc.
And destroying the country in one fell swoop is exactly what the Chu State is currently unable to do due to various factors. If this is done forcefully, not to mention whether there are domestic manpower, financial resources, and material resources to support it, the other four countries will never allow the Chu State to dominate, and many variables will appear immediately.
From Jiang Fan's point of view, Poppy only wants the area south of Longjiang. In this way, on the one hand, Wei and Xia would not act rashly, and on the other hand, they had the Longjiang barrier, making it relatively easy to resist Jin and defend their land.
And assuming that once Longjiang is breached, it will be like a sharp knife at the heart of the Jin State, directly threatening the survival of the Jin State. The Jin State will definitely spare no effort to counterattack crazily. At this time, the Chu State will continue to increase troops and supplies to the north bank, and the war will not last a day. There will be interruptions. Without the absolute power to destroy Jin in one fell swoop, the war would evolve into a horrific war of attrition. Jiang Fan had long understood that whether Poppy was cleaning up the country or launching an invasion, it was all for the purpose of strengthening the body of the Chu State, and it was definitely not to the extent of preparing to launch a war to unify the five kingdoms.
