It was late at night, but the conference hall of the Grand Sima Mansion was still brightly lit.

"At the end of today's court meeting, Your Majesty actually proposed the Eastern Expedition. It seems that his goal is quite large."

The so-called goal is not small, of course, it is not that Emperor Liu Chan had the ambition to stay in Yiyu at this time, but that he hoped that Guan Yi could leave the imperial center for a long time again, so that he could make more convenient moves and prepare for a future coup.

"Grand Sima, although Your Majesty's words are for another consideration, I have to say that according to the situation I have mastered, our great Han still seemed to be at ease in the face of the joint attack between Jin and Wu, and there were some blind optimism in the court and the country. The call for the immediate Eastern Expedition will probably ring in the court in the near future."

The person who said this was Si Wenling Lu Ya. As an official in charge of intelligence and public opinion, what he said really made Guan Yi a headache.

On the surface, it seems that right, facing the attack of Jin and Wu, Ji Han won all four battlefields without using the main force. However, these four places have extremely special characteristics - such as Nanzhong and Fuling County, which is the most popular place of the Ji Han government or the Fuxing Society. In these two places, the defensive battles are of course the right time, place, and people and all stand on their own side. But what if you go out to attack from here? It is really hard to say. Didn’t you see a militant like Wang Qi busy building the checkpoint after taking Cangwu County, and you are unwilling to move further north?

The two countries of Jin and Wu still had considerable strength at this time. At the time of attack, they may be insufficient in specific environments, but defense is still more than enough.

As for Ji Han himself, it is unlikely that there will be a drought this year, but the drought is not easy at all. Moreover, Ji Han's strength reserves are still a bit insufficient at this time. At least at this time, Guan Yi did not think about expanding his army. The army had not expanded, but Ji Han now had more than 100,000 troops. How could he launch a large-scale expedition?

Not only that, Ji Han also had considerable hidden dangers.

According to Guan Yi's idea, it would be best if during this joint attack between Jin and Wu, the emperor could not stand loneliness and cause trouble. Some larger and ambitious alien tribes in Guanzhong could not stand loneliness and cause trouble. Some aristocratic families with damaged interests also took this opportunity to attack. After these guys emerged, he cleaned up all these things, and after the interior was refreshed, he focused on preparing for the east expedition. In this way, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that the emperor, alien race, and aristocratic families were all very quiet during the nearly half-year war. This made him very depressed: it would be difficult for him to do something if others don’t make trouble.

"Hey, Zhongle, tree function, Yao Ke has been really quiet during this period of time when he returns to these guys?"

"Yes, Grand Sima and Si Wencao, who are subordinates, have made every effort to monitor these foreign leaders. But in the past few months, let alone connecting with each other or actually doing things, even the number of messengers coming and going is very few."

"...It seems that although the emerging king jumped up and down, our Majesty was very calm."

After Guan Yi said this, he was not surprised: As a person who had a strong interest in this history before traveling through time, Guan Yi knew very well that Liu Chan was a very smart person. Such a person would be really unmoved, and if he moved, he would have been sure of it.

Therefore, we have to continue other work and continue to reveal flaws to this intelligent but cautious emperor.

"Everyone, the situation of the war in various places has been almost clear. The next thing is how to communicate with the Jin and Wu countries, and the three parties will completely stop the war."

After Guan Yixin opened this topic, everyone in the hall frowned unconsciously.

Jin and Wu, Jin State is relatively easy: The Sima family lost only people but no land this time. Although the Cao Wei who raised the flag did not suppress it, it lost a lot of political points. However, if you value it, it is everything. If you ignore it, it is nothing. Moreover, after this battle, the Sima family must have a summary and the process of regaining strength. Therefore, the Jin State can be ignored.

The more troublesome one is Dongwu.

This time, the losses of Eastern Wu were the heaviest. Not only did they lose troops and generals, they also lost three and a half counties' territory. Such losses, let alone Sun Hao, who is now strong, may not be able to hide this face, and he would not have just admitted his conscience.

After this battle, Ji Han's strength will inevitably leave a deep psychological shadow on the two countries. Jin and Wu will have much less careful thoughts between each other. The alliance between the two countries will definitely be further deepened. Therefore, Wu has the conditions to draw more troops to launch a second attack on Ji Han.

Of course, with Yong'an's defense and Fuling County and the people in Nanzhong, Ji Han was not afraid of the second attack of the Eastern Wu. But the key to the problem is that Ji Han has now taken three and a half counties to the territory. Moreover, the three southern counties of Jiaozhou have the sea outlet that Ji Han dreamed of... Guan Yi is now thinking about how to reach a peace agreement with the Eastern Wu and digest the territory of these three and a half counties well.

So, the Grand Sima really doesn't want to fight anymore.

In the hall, everyone thought quietly for a while. Ma Guo raised his head and said, "Sima, I have an idea."

"Well, what's the trick to change it?"

"Sima, colleagues. Sun Hao looks strong on the surface, but in fact he is a harsh person. Therefore, the officials think that this should be…”

"Hahaha, Shan, let's make this arrangement there. Xingzong, please let me go to Jianye again."

"No, please accept the order!"

...

On the other side, Luoyang.

After the news of Sima Jun's defeat was returned, the Luoyang government and the country were in an uproar. After everyone came to their senses, the royal family and aristocratic families raised their letters and asked the country to send troops to attack again for the second time.

Everyone knows that after this defeat, the country's strength has just recovered has been depleted a lot. It is really difficult to send troops again. In the poor place of Shangyong County, when the Luoyang government was in his hands, the taxes received from it were almost gone after deducting the salaries of officials there. Why bother to continue investing so much capital there?

But no one is stupid: the suppression of Cao Wei's remnants is absolutely politically correct. At this time, such a roar is a necessary thing in the officialdom. Not to mention a minister like Jia Chong who is completely bound to the Sima family and will never get off the bus.

To be honest, the person who was most depressed when Shangyong was defeated was not Sima Yan, but Jia Chong.

When Cao Wei just raised the flag, Jia Chong was fine with this matter. But when the news of Shangyong's defeat was passed on, Jia Cheqi was so scared that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

Therefore, Jia Cheqi's attitude at this time is completely different from that of Pei Xiu and others: Your Majesty, we must send troops again! You can ignore any other place, but you must not let the Cao family turn over!

Unfortunately, Sima Yan is not stupid. He really doesn't want to beat him anymore.

But the emperor didn't want to fight, but he couldn't take the initiative to say he wouldn't fight anymore. Therefore, at the grand dynasty meeting on this day, facing the shouts of civil and military officials from all over the court, he reluctantly turned his attention to Sima You.

"Brother, why do you think of me? I want my younger brother to come out and take the blame for you?" Although Sima You is a very pragmatic person, he is not so selfless: as long as he opens his mouth and says he won't beat him, Sima Yan will definitely go with the flow and say he won't beat him. But in this way, his reputation will be completely ruined.

But at this moment, Sima Yan looked at him so eagerly, forcing him to a great helplessness.

Fei Zhi Sima Yan looked at him, Pei Xiu, Du Yu and others also looked at him with a look: Your Highness, please come out quickly and say you won’t fight anymore. Otherwise, the little vitality that the country has just recovered will be wasted again. After all, we are not Sima and cannot bear this responsibility. But you can!

"Your Majesty, I am ignorant of whether to send troops again. However, there are seniors in our Sima family who are alive, so why don't you ask for the opinions of King Anping?"

After all, Sima You, who inherited the excellent genes of his mother Wang Yuanji, suddenly appeared inspiration and successfully turned the blame on Sima Fu.

Well, Sima Fu is now in his nineties, only breathing more than a dead person. And he is also the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Shadow World: a loyal minister of Cao Wei who has been pretending to be a lifetime. If you ask him what he said, do you still need to guess what he said?

As soon as Sima You said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Sima Yan, Du Yu, or Pei Xiu. Even the ministers who had just shouted to fight and kill to show their loyalty quickly stopped.

Just as Guan Yi expected, the Sima family just needed a step. So when Sima You carried Sima Fu out, the whole country of Jin had no thoughts about Shangyong for the time being. A brief peace between the Han and Jin Dynasties came.

As for Sun Wu, in May 270 AD, Zhuge Jing went on a mission to Jianye again and dug a big hole for Sun Hao.
