Master Zongxin also had no choice, his words had already been said and could not be recovered, and Dugu Xingyue announced that he was willing to be a concubine of Master Zongxin at that time, and he would not hold a wedding, but would get married on the spot.

Almost more than ninety percent of the people thought that Zong Xin married Dugu Xingyue out of kindness, and hoped that this widow who had not passed through the door would have a complete wedding.

Dugu Xingyue doesn't care about her name at all, she is the first woman to marry Zongxin, and the whole world knows about their marriage, almost all the people with heads and faces came to celebrate, Dugu Xingyue feels very face-saving.

Zongxin's purpose is very clear, because he wants to collect money. All the people he invited were big people with heads and faces, and his status was not low, so of course the money was not a trivial matter. With so much money in exchange for one meal, this kind of business is stupid not to do it.

Almost everything was done by the weak scholar Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu did not complain at all, because the final gain surprised him......

Officials of small rank gave at least 100 taels of gold, or 1,000 taels of silver. High-ranking officials are at least a few thousand taels, or even as much as 20,000 silver. There are also many rare treasures, all of which are sent by Zongxin in the face of Zongxin.

Although Liu Chengyou did not arrive, he sent 10,000 taels of gold as a gift, Guo Wei had no family background, but he came to congratulate him in person. It's just that this time Guo Wei didn't see his son Guo Xin and was a little disappointed.

The three major valves all sent people to send congratulatory gifts, Zhao Jing, who usually picks the door, even sent a huge amount of 1,000 taels of gold, Song Valve is 5,000 taels of gold, and Wang Valve is 2,000 taels of gold.

Dugu Valve did not give gifts, because this was Dugu Valve's daughter, but it was not convenient for them to come to the Han realm.

Lei Hong, the son of the night sky, came in person, and Lei Hong deliberately pretended to be drunk at the wedding, so he had to let Zongxin worship him when he worshiped the high hall. Zong Xin naturally wouldn't mind this kind of thing, and Dugu Xingyue also knew that Lei Hong was his father.

After the wedding, Zong Xin received 130,000 taels of silver, eight taels of gold, and various jewels and jade, which can be said to have made a fortune in an instant.

Zongxin let Zhao Pu manage all the money, and the business of the Ao Gang was completely enough to raise soldiers, and the money was only temporarily saved. Zhao Pu never filled his pocket, because he didn't have this need, and Zhao Pu's money would not be spent for a long time.

After the Eighteen Protectors returned to Weinan with Tianya, Zong Xin talked to them carefully, and the Eighteen Protectors all agreed with Zong Xin's philosophy and strength, and were willing to entrust their lives to him.

Zong Xin was naturally happy, and finally gave him the name - Youyun Eighteen Horsemen.

......

Zong Xin and Dugu Xingyue have officially married, and the two are even more glue-like, and the demon is naturally not far behind, and has been pestering Zong Xin. However, the two girls are very smart, they know when to pester, and when not to pester, for example, when Zongxin meditates and exercises, he never bothers him.

Zongxin likes to sit in the carriage and close his eyes to recuperate, Tianya stays by the side, and the two teach while practicing. Now that someone is driving the car, even Zhao Kuangyin is staying in the carriage, and the three men are sitting in a row, but it is the demon and Dugu Xingyue who run out to ride the wolf. These wolves are very active and they love to run.

The three men sat in the carriage very calmly, as if everything around them was still, and when they practiced the Nine Seals Yi Pulse Method, the true qi was constantly circulating in their bodies, but their consciousness was very clear, and they were even more awake than usual.

"Master, are all the things you teach me really useful? What is heat shrinkage, cold contraction, hot gas rises...... I feel that it is of no real use to martial arts and life. ”

Zong Xin said: "You don't have a lot of skills, you are not an ordinary person as a teacher, and of course what you teach is not an ordinary thing." For example, for the teacher to break the roof of the Red Emperor Cave is because of the thermal expansion and cold contraction, the stone also meets this law, but the inside of the stone is very strong, and the continuous expansion and contraction will produce cracks, which is why the teacher's skill is not as good as Lei Hong and others, but he can break the top layer of the cave to save everyone. ”

"But why is it that after boiling the water, if you continue to boil it, it will all dry up? Isn't this heat shrinking?"

Zong Xin suddenly smiled and said, "Heat shrinkage? It is true that there are some things that shrink when exposed to heat, but water is not among them. Water is boiled dry because it evaporates, and even if you don't boil it, the water will slowly disappear, isn't it? When water is boiled, it is called boiling, and boiling is actually a kind of violent evaporation. ”

"It's true that the water will disappear on its own, but where does it go?"

Zong Xin said: "After the water evaporates, it will fly into the sky, and the sky will be colder than the ground, and the water vapor will begin to condense when it is cold, and finally it will become clouds. When there is too much water in the clouds, it will fall and rain will be formed, which is the water cycle. ”

Tianya felt that the things that Zongxin taught him were very strange, even if he knew these things, what was the use? But since the master taught him, then he heard that the master taught these things very vividly anyway, and there was nothing difficult about it.

Zhao Kuangyin said beside him: "Zongxin, you should teach some more useful things, I don't feel useless when I listen to these things." ”

"Eh~ Your thinking is too narrow, and what ordinary people teach is really useless. Zong Xin said: "There are eight items in the university, Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. Therefore, we must start from a very small thing to understand, understand everything in this world, become our own knowledge, and only after having knowledge can we set a lofty goal, work hard for this goal, and finally calm the world. ”

Tianya and Zhao Kuangyin nodded immediately, Zong Xin was right, he finally began to teach some serious things.

Zong Xin said: "Fighting a war is nothing more than time, place, and people. The time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. But isn't it the time of heaven for Zhuge Liang to borrow arrows from the grass boat and the east wind to burn the warship? Who dares to say that the time of day is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people?"

Zongxin's theory is to criticize Mencius's "Gain the Tao and Help Less, and Lose the Righteousness and Help", and indeed use the east wind to burn the warship, the Wei State is far stronger than the Eastern Wu, claiming that the 800,000 army is down the river, the morale is high, and the people and nature are far superior to the Eastern Wu, but in the end they were killed to the ground.

This example really shows that it is not that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. It's rare for Zongxin to say something serious, so you must listen to it. But...... There are still some differences between legends and history, and the legend says that this matter is dominated by Zhuge Liang, but the real mastermind behind the scenes is actually Zhou Yu. But no matter who it is, Zongxin is a good example.

"Fighting this kind of thing, people and nature are very necessary, but if there is a huge disparity between strength and weakness, no matter how tall the soldier is, it is useless, and he can still win in the art of war and tactics. Zong Xin said: "The poor monk thinks that the soldiers are fast and fierce, like a killing god falling from the sky, scaring the enemy's liver and gall, and being unable to hold a gun is truly invincible in the world." ”

Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya both listened, and felt that Zong Xin's words were very reasonable, but it was difficult to achieve. Zongxin once realized it once, that is, when Zhao Kuangyin rushed into the reserve in the north of Kaifeng City with the eighteen horsemen of Youyun, at that time they were all pulling their stomachs, and when they saw this group of monks rushing into the barracks, they knew that this was Zongxin's protector, so they were frightened.

It was a beautiful victory, and the six thousand men had little resistance, and rushed directly into it to slash and slash at will. But that was what Zhao Kuangyin was most afraid of, if it wasn't for the chaos at the time, and these people were all weak because of diarrhea, if they organized a counterattack, there would be no follow-up at all, because at that time he would have died in the reserves.

Zongxin can have this idea, because his reputation is very loud, and his mounts and protectors have obvious characteristics, and others know at a glance that this is Zongxin's army.

Just imagine, nineteen monks riding giant wolf mounts rushed towards them one by one, and the scene was indeed terrifying. Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even a martial arts master like himself would be taken aback, thus losing the opportunity. So Zongxin's tactic can be used, but it is not safe.

Zong Xin continued: "Attack the heart first, attack the city first. Take Tianya's father Guo Wei as an example, what is Guo Wei doing now?"

"Master asked him to forge a fortress. Tianya immediately replied, because it was his father, and Tianya certainly knew about his father's movements.

"Yes, but do you know the poor monk's intentions?"

Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya shook their heads at the same time, they really didn't understand Zong Xin's intentions. Casting a fortress outside the city is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not very useful.

It will take a long time for the fortress to be cast, but at that time, Li Shouzhen in Tongguan is really dead. As long as the fortress is cast, Guo Wei's strong attack can be said to be easy. But this approach is very stupid, it is better to use a strong attack, maybe Tongguan has already been broken.

Zong Xin said: "Then the poor monk will explain to you the actual battle, Li Shouzhen is trapped in Tongguan, it can be said that there is a dead end." Although Lord Guo hates him to the bone, he loves soldiers like sons, and if he storms Tongguan, he is afraid that there will be a mountain of corpses, these people are all soldiers of the big man, even including Li Shouzhen's subordinates. Moreover, after taking Tongguan, Tongguan must be damaged, and it will cost money to recast Tongguan, which will cost people and money. Lord Guo attacked Tongguan for the sake of his selfish desires, is this appropriate?"

Explain it this way, Tianya and Zhao Kuangyin both understand half of it, and it is indeed not good to directly attack Tongguan. But why the fortress was cast outside the gate, this matter Zongxin did not explain.

Tianya said: "Master, my father did not storm Tongguan, but delayed time, and I understand the reason." But why build a fortress outside the city? Isn't it also a waste of money to do so?"

"It's just a rag, a fortress where it is. Zong Xin said with a smile: "Li Shouzhen is trapped in Tongguan, so he is naturally anxious, and Lord Guo's failure to attack will increase Li Shouzhen's psychological burden." At this time, a fortress was built outside the gate, and Li Shouzhen could be said to be meat on the chopping board, which was slaughtered by others. At that time, Li Shouzhen will definitely be so anxious that she will be dizzy, and thus make a fatal mistake. ”

"What mistake will he make?"

Zong Xin said: "He will leave Tongguan and storm these fortresses. ”

"Oh~~!" The two suddenly realized, it turned out that this was Zongxin's plan, and it was really powerful. Zhao Kuangyin and Tianya actually thought about it for a few months, and they didn't understand that Zong Xin asked Guo Wei to build a fortress outside Tongguan, but at that time, Guo Wei immediately agreed, and he looked proud.

originally thought that Guo Wei was very loyal and honest, but now I know that Guo Wei is also an old fox. I immediately understood Zongxin's intentions.
