The auxiliary minister of the Jin State is still Sima Yu on the bright side, and the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic listens to the government, and there are powerful ministers like Huan Wen.

Sima Dan is a mascot, and his preferences and opinions have no effect on the situation.

Although after this incident, the Jin State attached several levels of importance to the Tang State, and it was also determined that the country was not as peace-loving as it was rumored.

But it also succeeded in misleading the Jin monarchs and ministers, making them think that the Tang State was not in the south, but in the sea area in the north-east of the same country as the Japanese slave state.

The basis is that it is unlikely that the Tang State will cross thousands of miles and conquer a country that is still relatively strong, and the most likely is that they are adjacent.

According to records, the approximate location of the Unu Kingdom was in the deep sea in the north-east, and it was necessary to pass through Baekje to get there.

Once they have this understanding, there will be a lot of so-called evidence to support it.

During the Han Dynasty, there were very few Han people in the south, and everyone fled first to the north to Liaodong, not to the south.

According to the Book of Wei in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Yamatai Kingdom sent troops to assist the Wei State in attacking Goguryeo.

It is very likely that it was at that time that they obtained the charts from the Yamatai Kingdom, and then migrated overseas, and later grew and conquered the Yamatai Kingdom.

This also explains why the Tang State was the first to trade with Baekje, why it was able to burn down the Yan army's naval division camp in time, and why it was able to send troops to help Baekje attack Lelang County.

If the location of the Tang State is in the Northeast Sea, the answers to these questions will be easily solved.

This reasoning can be said to be reasonable, and it soon won the mainstream recognition, and the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State celebrated one after another.

It's good in the sea to the northeast, even if they have ambitions, they will first take Baekje, Goguryeo, and even Yan, and it is unlikely that they will run to the Jin Kingdom south of the Yangtze River.

This 'recognition' soon spread to Tang Guo's meticulous work, and it was reported to Lin Hong layer by layer.

Lin Hong has been doing intelligence work for so many years, so he naturally knows what to do, and he immediately turned into a meat horn, and spread this speculation everywhere, and soon gained international recognition.

No way, the reasoning process is so rigorous that people have to be convinced.

Two groups of people wanted to laugh but didn't dare after learning about this reasoning, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

One of them is naturally a few core members of the Xie family, and after so many years of inquiry, Xie An has basically determined the location of the Tang Kingdom.

Yizhou Island, the island where Sun Wu's generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi once went.

Because he didn't dare to get too close, he didn't know the actual situation of Tang Guo.

It can only be speculated that there should be tens of thousands of households with a population of two or three hundred thousand, and the number of troops is about one or two thousand, all relying on pretending to mysteriously scare the world.

But the information revealed by the battle with Baekje this time completely overturned his previous speculation.

"The Yamatai Kingdom was able to send troops to assist Cao Wei in his attack on Goguryeo, and the kingdoms of Baekje and Silla were all subject to it. Now there is also a country established by the remnants of the Yamatai Kingdom in Liaodong called Gayage. ”

"It can be seen that it is a powerful country...... If the Tang State can conquer it across thousands of miles of sea, its strength will inevitably become even stronger. ”

"Now they have defeated Baekje's 40,000 land and water alliance army at Baekje's doorstep, and the troops dispatched are at least 20,000 or 30,000 people......"

Hearing this, Xie Xuan couldn't help but say: "The 40,000 land and water alliance army of Baekje was defeated in only two days, and more than 30,000 people were captured...... Twenty or thirty thousand troops will never be able to do it. ”

When his words were interrupted, Xie An didn't get angry, but encouraged: "Then how many troops do you think can be dispatched?" ”

"Baekje is full of elite soldiers, and even if you can't fight, you can escape. But they were almost all taken prisoner, and this is no longer a matter of disparity in strength. Xie Xuan analyzed:

"The Tang State must have adopted tactics that we didn't know about, and instantly crushed the morale of the Baekje army, making them give up resistance and not even dare to escape."

"I think this tactic is more noteworthy than how many soldiers there are in the Tang Kingdom, and when my uncle sends someone to Baekje to inquire about the news, he can start from this aspect."

Xie An said with relief: "Yes, yes, my family's unicorn has grown up." ”

Xie Xuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and continued: "But no matter what tactics the Tang State uses, they can conquer the Japanese slave country and defeat Baekje, and their strength is far beyond our speculation. ”

Xie An nodded and said, "Yes, my speculation is still too conservative. Judging from the current situation, the Tang State has a population of at least one million, more than 50,000 troops, and the sailors are unique in the world. ”

Speaking of this, his attitude suddenly became stern, and he said, "The more this is the case, the more we must keep it a secret, and we must not reveal half a cent of your eldest sister's affairs. ”

Xie Jing, Xie Xuan and others hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Xie An said again: "Send a message to Xie Zhuanshan, stop all the espionage work on the Tang Kingdom, and instead do your best to help them cover up their traces." ”

The Tang Kingdom may have millions of people, and this speculation really scared him.

As a scholar, he didn't really care about a small country with a population of two or three hundred thousand, and he used to think that his niece was married.

But a million people can already be regarded as a big country, and the so-called face of the scholar clan is worthless in the face of this absolute strength, and he doesn't dare to show his face anymore.

I don't want to have any misunderstandings with the other party.

……

Another person who knows the truth is naturally the Taoist Du Zigong, although he is not sure of the specific location of the Tang Kingdom, but he will not be wrong in the southern sea.

It's just that the more he knows, the more shocked he becomes, and even he begins to wonder if the Tang State will really be a country established by the remnants of the late Han Dynasty as rumored.

Otherwise, how could it be so powerful, even the Yamatai Kingdom became a vassal and defeated Baekje, which was rampant in Liaodong.

But fortunately, all doubts will soon be answered, because he has finally obtained permission to visit the Tang Kingdom.

"Jingyuan, you must remember to see more and talk less on this trip, and don't anger Mr. Wen."

Sun Tai said with a little excitement: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not spoil your big thing." ”

Du Zigong shook his head and said: "After so many things, you still can't stabilize your temperament, alas, how can I rest assured that Taoism will be handed over to you." ”

Sun Tai's expression was solemn, and he said, "The disciple understands everything, and it will only be like this in front of you." ”

Du Zigong sighed: "I hope." ”

Sun Tai did not explain, but said: "I went to the Tang Kingdom, can I talk to Mr. Wen about spreading Taoism there." ”

Du Zigong said: "No, have you forgotten the Mazu Sutra and the thunder nerve, now the thunder nerve has spread in Lingnan." ”

"Mazu is the god of the sea, and it must have been used in the Tang Kingdom...... Rashly proposing to spread Taoism may cause Mr. Wen to dislike it. ”

Sun Tai said: "But Mazu is also my Taoist Heavenly Court." ”

Du Zigong said: "So what? There are countless gods in the heavenly court, and there are more than a dozen main gods, and behind each main god there is a group of believers. ”

"Mr. Wen created the Mazu Sutra to show his attitude that he can become a branch of Taoism, but no one else is allowed to interfere, so it's best for us not to do anything."

Sun Tai thought for a while and nodded, "Disciple understands." ”

Du Zigong looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go." ”
