When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xin Qu was not surprised by Zi Ping's shock.

Even when he saw these words, he was shocked.

Jin Tianshi is back!
Jintian clan, also known as Shaohao clan, Shaohao clan, Qiongsang clan, and Zhuxuan clan.

In fact, this name is the inherited clan name of the royal lineage, and is essentially a nickname or honorific title for the leader of the tribe.

Jin Tianshi was the leader of the Dongyi people and the common ancestor of all the twenty Dongyi Phoenix tribes.

However, this tribe failed in subsequent abdications and power struggles, and some descendants of Jin Tianshi even got involved in the internal wars of the Xia Dynasty.

That is the famous incident of Taikang losing his country, which was done by Houyi of Dongyi.

Later, Houyi was killed by Hanyue. A part of the Jintian clan who followed Houyi into the Central Plains joined Shaokang's team and overthrew Hanyue. From then on, the Dongyi ethnic group in the Central Plains completely merged with the Xia Dynasty. At the same time, the ancestors of Dayi Shang also officially became a tribe in Henan Province at this time.

And taking advantage of their ethnicity and geographical advantages, the Shang lineage of Dayi gradually intermarried with the Dongyi people and became one family.

However, by doing so, they would be destroying the prestige of the Jintian clan.

Can Jin Tianshi agree?

In the end, Jin Tianshi was defeated by Cheng Tang and fled with the remnants of the Xia Dynasty.

What no one expected was that not only did the Jin Tian clan survive, but they also split into a branch that fled to Central Asia and then gradually moved inland.

"No wonder you're so nervous. If it were me, I would never let them have the chance to return to the Central Plains."

Zi Ping rarely looked serious. "If you want to resolve his threat, the best way is to move all the Dongyi people under your rule to the northwest. The descendants of the phoenix are just like the sparrows that can be seen everywhere. There are always a few who are not afraid of death and will eat millet under the bird cage. So, it is best to keep a close eye on them."

Xin Qu remained silent.

The Jintian clan is so glorious.

In other words, the formation of Dongyi, the tradition of the phoenix, and the worship of the sun all originated from the integration of Jintianshi.

Without the Jintian clan, there would be no current Dongyi clan.

Even Dayi Shang might not exist, and Xinqu's Youxin clan might not exist either.

All the clans in the Central Plains that originated from the three tribes, as long as they can be passed down, can be traced back to the two ancestors Yan and Huang, but only the Jintian clan only stays on "Shaohao Zhi". This is enough to show how much they hope to restore their former glory for Zhi's achievements and the glorious past brought by Zhi.

But for Dayi merchants.

This is the enemy.

Zi Ping thought of a solution after a while and said, "I think Yan should find their location as soon as possible and then eliminate them.

Once the Jin Tian clan re-enters the North, it will be a disaster.

Those birds really can't forget the glory of the phoenix."

Xin Qu understood what he meant, but he didn't say anything.

The Jin Tian clan is indeed a difficult problem.

We must not let them come back, otherwise the Phoenix descendants in Shaanxi and Longyou, especially Zhou Zhouji of Zhaozhou, will have Phoenix believers in their clan.

As long as the Jintian clan is powerful enough, they will definitely unite to deal with Dayi Shang.

But before that, Yan State would definitely bear the brunt.

After all, nomadic groups always rob more and do less.

"Write a letter to Zixun and tell him that I can help him block the Jin Tian clan. But he must be given a higher title. Otherwise, I won't be able to appease the people below."

Xin Qu directly stated the conditions.

If he had hunted north before, it was to clear strategic space.

And now, he has to demand a greater status.

"what do you want?"

"The area west and north of Taihang Mountain is under my control."

"That's impossible!" Zi Ping refused directly.

He is not an idiot. Xin Qu wants the so-called status just to find an excuse.

Once Dayi Shang agreed to Xinqu's request and Tufang's king Quan died, Xinqu would be able to directly take over the entire Shanxi Province. At that time, Yan State and Dayi Shang would come face to face.

If Dayi Shang opposed, Yan State could use this reason to unite more anti-Shang people to fight together.

The State of Yan alone is big enough to give Yi Shang a headache, and now with a group of people coming, how can they fight back?
He would never plant mines.

In this era, it is impossible to make everyone happy when they see you, just like the shadow of a person or the name of a tree. But at the first contact, your reputation is the most moving.

Everyone knows the reputation of Bei Boqu, everyone knows that the State of Yan is generous, and everyone knows that the State of Yan is brave. When people who meet for the first time hear such a name, even if they don't bow down, they will at least think about it and give him a good face to allow the contact to proceed.

This is one of the correct ways to open it. Therefore, if Dayi Shang agreed to let Xinqu have the land north and west of Taihang Mountain, then Xinqu would be the real tyrant in the north, and it would be difficult for Dayi Shang to oppose him no matter what he wanted to do.

Because except for not going to pay tribute in person, Xinqu gave all the other courtesies that were due.

"Change it. I can promise to give you the land west of the Yellow River." Zi Ping said.

There was a cold light in Xin Qu's eyes.

This bastard is really good at setting traps.

The land west of the Yellow River is the territory of the Qiang people. It is full of ravines and gullies, and there are self-proclaimed kings everywhere. No one is willing to submit to anyone else. Once you enter, you have to spend time to sort it out. What's the use of Xin Qu taking it?

Will it be dragged there for decades?

The merchants of Dayi even looked down upon the Guanzhong region. Besides the fact that their territory was too far away, more importantly, there were too many Qiang people.

It's troublesome to go there and talk to them.

"West and north of Shangdang." Xin Qu bargained.

Zi Ping's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "That's not right. That's our clan's territory."

"Then you guys fight the Tufang slowly." Xin Qu sneered, "I will continue to hunt in the north, but Jin Tianshi, I will rush to the border west of Qiang River."

"You!" Zi Ping was furious.

My fingers are shaking.

Vicious! So vicious!
If the Jin Tian clan was driven to the Hexi area, the local descendants of Emperor Xia, and even the Dongyi tribes who followed Emperor Xia, would definitely cooperate with the Jin Tian clan in a very short time.

If the Jin Tian clan wins over the power of the entire northwest, then Dayi Shang will have no time to talk about the situation in Shanxi and Shandong. Mount Xiao will be the battlefield for Dayi Shang for the next few decades.

Without breaking into Hexi and defeating the enemy, they had no chance of going north.

At that time, they could only watch the State of Yan grow stronger.

"Wait! These still need to be negotiated. I'll contact Xun, but before that..."

"Don't worry, I will wait here. The Jintian clan should get the news soon. I will go to the north right away."

"What! Are you going to blow your mind?"

"What else can I do? The grassland is so big. Besides luring them out or letting them gather together, do I have to fight them bit by bit? Don't be ridiculous. Once they run away, there will be nowhere to chase them.

Now Jin Tianshi has basically completed the control of the two foothills of Dou Mao Mountain. The news was revealed to them, and then some vassal troops were arranged to sweep the area and let Jin Tianshi make the decision.

If he finally chooses to retreat to the west of Doumao Mountain, then everyone will be happy.

If he leads troops to attack, we can just have a fight.

But before the fight, you'd better reach an agreement with Zixun. I don't ask for much, at least leave the strategic security to me, otherwise... the war between Yan and Shang will most likely not be delayed for too long."

"I understand." Zi Ping did not object.

The conflict between Yan and Shang was mainly over strategic security.

The State of Yan expanded too quickly, and with such a vast territory, it always needed some buffer space.

Only by taking over the entire Shanxi Province in the future can we have a strategic buffer.

Dayi Shang mainly operates in the North China Plain, and he also needs strategic space to ensure his safety.

The strategic space of the two forces overlaps.

Sooner or later there will be a battle.

But neither side wants an outbreak now.

Xinqu needs time and space to develop and Zixun needs space to innovate. Therefore, the best solution is to utilize the existing mountains to redivide the strategic space.

As for why the area was not divided by the Yellow River, it was because the area of ​​northern Hebei and Zhuozhou is now either covered with swamps or forests, making it really difficult to march.

Only Shanxi is the center of the entire north. Although the pocket terrain meets the defense needs to some extent, it also means that it can be used as a place for war.

Therefore, no matter which company it is, they are all keeping an eye on the distribution in Shanxi.

The two princes of Zhao and the descendants of the Xia Dynasty controlled Anyi, the Tufang controlled Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shangdang, the State of Yan controlled Datong, and Dayi Shang controlled the Xingdao outside the mountains. They all truly treated Shanxi as a battlefield.

Therefore, if Shanxi gives up some of its interests now, it will be difficult to get them back in the future.

Zi Ping thought about it for a while and felt a severe headache. He was unable to write to Zi Xun and let him figure it out himself.

Jin Tianshi, we cannot let them go south no matter what.

The prestige of this lineage is everlasting. If he succeeds in integrating it, the northwest will have a safe haven. (End of this chapter)
