"Lü attacked Jin?" Li Xian looked at the information in his hand in surprise. "They are taking advantage of the situation! But Cai has always been very peaceful before. It seems a bit sudden that they sent out troops this time!"
Yes, although Jin had deployed troops on the border of Lu before, it was not to attack Lu, but to defend. At that time, Jin wanted to swallow Liu in one gulp. Of course, Jin lost its teeth in the end.
But the State of Lu had always behaved honestly and passively. Even when it sent troops to help the State of Liu, it was just based on the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold". When it found that the State of Liu had blocked the attack of the State of Jin, the State of Lu immediately withdrew its troops.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the State of Lu actually took the initiative to send troops.
Xu Ren flipped through some information nearby and said, "According to the information we have now, this incident, to be honest... We have a lot to do. It's probably like this. Jin asked for help from the surrounding countries, including Lu, Shao, Chen, Zheng, Deng, and even us. We don't need to say anything here, the young master knows it all. Chen is now busy competing with Cai for territory and is losing ground. But after discussing with the other countries, they came to the conclusion that they need a stronger country, a country that is strong enough, has enough strategic depth, and can hold us back and attract our attention. Jin has begun to weaken and is gradually being corroded by us. Obviously, it can't meet the expectations of various countries. In this case, Jin's letter of help made all countries think that Jin was completely hopeless. So all countries are ready to abandon Jin and support Liu and Lu to swallow Jin, increase national strength, let Liu and Lu directly border us, and form a direct confrontation with us. It's a pity that Jin's message of help actually had the opposite effect and brought them the most desperate result. All countries actually gave up Jin because of this. "
Li Xian's eyes widened immediately. This was really good gossip. Jin State went to ask for help, but other countries thought Jin State was too weak, so they decided to sacrifice Jin State and strengthen Liu State and Lu State. And let Liu State and Lu State hold back the development of the Shang Kingdom.
This is really... a little political joke.
However, Li Xian frowned slightly: "Jin should still be very powerful now. All the information we have here shows that Jin is still very powerful. After all, it is an old empire with a strong foundation. Moreover, in the past few years, after our cooperation with Jin, the industrial power in Jin has also been rising, and they have gradually established their own industrial system. Overall, Jin is much stronger than a few years ago."
Li Yuanming smiled: "Jin is at least 30% stronger than before! But other countries don't know! Blame it on Jin for asking for help. I think the reason why Jin asked for help was to use the power of other countries to put pressure on Liu to reduce its losses. At the same time, Jin also wanted to paralyze us, so that it could buy arms from us and let us temporarily ignore their assassination. But I didn't expect it to be counterproductive. Other countries didn't know much about Jin. When this message for help was sent out, other countries thought that Jin was already weak, so they decided to swallow Jin as soon as possible, strengthen Liu and Lu, and let Liu and Lu replace Jin to contain us. Unfortunately, the real situation... Haha, Jin is still very strong, and other countries miscalculated; but Jin also did not get the political assistance it wanted, but fell into a state of fighting alone. Seeing this news, I laughed all night! For us, this is really pie in the sky!"
