Fan Zhen nodded and said: "Lord Wang is very strategic, every winter when the Huaishui is shallow and dry, the Tang people often send troops to defend it, which is called 'shallow', the Southern Tang Navy is extremely strong, and if you want to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, you must first win the water division." Divert the Huai River and lower the water level. In winter, these water armies will be useless due to too little river water, and it will not be difficult to defeat the Tang water army at that time. How can the whole river be stopped by manpower alone?"

Wang Pu said with a smile: "Since the water burst the embankment in the last year of the Tang Dynasty, all the southeast of the bridge has become a sludge swamp. Ordered people to levy and send people, dredge and divert water along the original river embankment, and go east to Surabaya. I built a canal in the Great Zhou, and the water flow of the Tang Dynasty was dispersed, and in the winter when the water army was unfavorable, it could be taken lightly. ”

Chai Rong nodded and said, "Good plan, Wang Aiqing originally meant this." I thought that I would directly gather troops to carry out the Southern Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that I would just prepare first, and then raise troops to attack after the preparations were sufficient. It should also be the case, then let's send troops to Xishu first, seize all the Xishu cities outside Sichuan, and trap Meng Chang in Shu, and the soldiers will not dare to go out of Sichuan for half a point. Then on the one hand, the army was assembled, and on the other hand, Huaishui was opened. ”

"Your Majesty is wise. Although Wang Pu flattered him, this was just Chai Rong who understood Wang Pu's clever plan, and it was not a solution he came up with.

Wang Pu said embarrassedly: "It's a good way, but it's too troublesome." Isn't it just the Datang Water Army, what is there to be afraid of, if you can...... Let's find Zong Xin to help, he can directly freeze the entire Huaishui into ice, and then there is no need to open the canal at all, and there is no need to wait for winter, directly enter the army, how can the Southern Tang Navy have the strength to confront our army. ”

Wang Pu's method is the easiest and most effective. But there is a very big problem in it, and that is the recognition of the sect. Now that Chai Rong hates Zong Xin to the core, how can he ask Zong Xin for help again. It's not that Wang Pu doesn't know about this matter, he just wants to let His Majesty know the importance of Zongxin through his own efforts, and don't go against Zongxin. As long as the two sides reconcile, His Majesty's ambition to seize the world will be completed many years earlier.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This method is good, but Zongxin's fee is too expensive." Don't think that Zongxin does whatever he wants, I know very well how capable he is. If anyone can ask Zongxin to do this, Zongxin will definitely open his mouth, and I can assure you that no one can give Zongxin what he wants, so there is no need to think about him. ”

Wang Pu pouted and said, "You are not Zongxin, how do you know what Zongxin wants?"

"I'm a roundworm in Zong Xin's stomach, so I know that his stomach is full of bad water, what's wrong with me not convinced? I can predict all the things Zong Xin will do in the future, can you?" Zhao Kuangyin said confidently: "I heard that Zong Xin went to Xishu, do you think he will do anything to Meng Chang who wants to kill him countless times?"

Chai Rong took a deep breath and said, "I guess he will, with Zongxin's martial arts and character of retribution for flaws, he will not let go of any enemy." Because it is Meng Chang, the hatred of taking his wife and not mentioning it first, Meng Chang caused Zong Xin to crawl out of the ghost gate several times, so far Zong Xin has gone all the way unimpeded, but Meng Chang has suffered several losses, and he almost died in his hands several times. Now that Wu Yan Hongyu is dead, it is a good time for Zong Xin to take revenge. ”

Fan Zhen nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it was not surprising for the minister to hear that Zong Xin went to Xishu, what else can Zong Xin go to Xishu for? Now Meng Chang can only hide in the palace and be afraid, but the palace of Shu can no longer stop Zongxin's group of people. The martial arts of the Eighteen Horsemen of Youyun plus the mounts can withstand any pressure, and the army of Shu is like nothing in their eyes. Not to mention how high Zong Xin's martial arts are, our third prince can kill Meng Chang. ”

Today's Tianya is no longer the third prince, but the third prince. Because Guo Wei has died, Chai Rong has ascended the throne. Tianya's seniority is equal to Chai Rong, so he should be called the prince now.

The minister also agreed with this speculation, although Master Zongxin was a high-ranking monk, but he did not blink an eye when he moved. Hearing the grievances between Master Zongxin and Meng Chang, even the ministers wanted to kill Meng Chang, a despicable villain. Wang Pu said: "Indeed, the hatred of taking his wife cannot be repaid, Meng Chang, a faint king, is greedy for a moment's pleasure, and he actually gave up the entire country for the sake of a woman, what can this kind of person do if he doesn't die?"

Everyone felt that Meng Chang was too stupid, with the help of a master like Master Zongxin, Meng Chang could have dominated the world. As a result, this shameless thing dared to touch Zong Xin's fiancée, Mrs. Hua Rui, and he didn't repent afterwards, and sent Wu Yan Hongyu to rob and kill this great benefactor of Shu on the way, and they didn't want to think about it, if it wasn't for Zong Xin, Li Shouzhen would definitely do everything possible to eliminate Shu, and he wouldn't even have to be the emperor at that time.

Wei Renpu said depressedly: "The minister thinks that it is not important whether Meng Chang's death is a problem, but the minister wants to see how beautiful this lady is that she can make a person give up the country and even become an enemy of Zongxin, how beautiful must it be?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I've seen ...... No worse than demons and white jade. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's comment surprised everyone, because the appearance of the demon and the white jade is also famous in the rivers and lakes. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua Rui was so beautiful, and it was no wonder that Meng Chang had an evil heart. And men are animals that sometimes really don't care about anything for a moment's pleasure, so Meng Chang should be damned, but this is also the nature of men, there is no way.

Wang Pu said: "Zhao Kuangyin, you haven't said it yet." Do you think Master Zongxin will kill Meng Chang?"

"No, absolutely not. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's answer surprised these people again, because they believed that Zhao Kuangyin could predict Zong Xin's behavior, because the two had been good brothers since their debut, Zhao Kuangyin's understanding of Zong Xin was like his own left and right hands, and what Zong Xin wanted to do could escape the eyes of the world, and it could not escape Zhao Kuangyin's eyes.

But why?

I can't figure it out, why didn't Zong Xin kill this person who had hurt him and could kill him? Could it be that there was another hidden secret?

Chai Rong said curiously: "Zhao Kuangyin, is Zong Xin really not going to kill Meng Chang?"

"Back to Your Majesty, with the minister's understanding of Zongxin, he will never kill Meng Chang. What is the reason for going to Xishu this time...... It should be to take the white jade back to the door, and by the way, take advantage of the heat in summer to go to Emei Mountain to escape the heat and taste Sichuan cuisine. When the autumn comes, they will leave Shu, and perhaps go to Dugu to watch them harvest grain. Wait until winter to return to Chang'an and celebrate the New Year with Lei Hong. Others may think that Meng Chang is despicable and shameless, forcibly occupying Zong Xin's fiancée, but in fact, Zong Xin had already expected it, so at that time, he would leave Mrs. Hua Rui in Shu and rush to Bianliang City with his ministers to bring down Li Shouzhen. However, there is one thing that is indeed unexpected by Zong Xin, that is, Wu Yan Hongyu's robbery. ”

This explanation is acceptable, but not convincing. Zong Xin was full of food? Knowing that Meng Chang had evil thoughts about Madame Hua Rui, he also put his fiancée in the wolf's den? Since he could expect Meng Chang to occupy Madame Hua Rui, how could he not have expected Meng Chang to send someone to rob and kill him because he was worried? It doesn't make sense.

Zhao Kuangyin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty must be curious, there are a few points that don't make sense, right?" ”

"It's a little bit. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, in fact, what doesn't make sense makes sense after careful consideration." Meng Chang's performance in these years is very different from the earlier people, in the early years, Meng Chang did work hard and tried every means to recruit talents, but after Meng Chang and Zong Xin made a feud, he almost hid in the palace and couldn't take a step, at most the protected further study went around the streets of Chengdu. There were three or five times when Shu could have sent troops to attack my Great Zhou, but because of Meng Chang, the troops were sent late or even not sent troops at all, so the Great Zhou was never harassed by the Shu State. There is a reason for this, because Madame Hua Rui was originally a spy that Zong Xin planted by Meng Chang's side. ”

"What?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Kuangyin in disbelief, is there such a thing in this world? Zong Xin, a shameless monk, actually installed a woman by Meng Chang's side, just to disturb the society of Shu Kingdom?

Zhao Kuangyin explained: "Don't be too excited, in fact, Zong Xin originally wanted to marry Mrs. Hua Rui after bringing down Li Shouzhen, and then live their little life." But because Meng Chang struck first, Zong Xin was also very angry about this. But at that time, Wu Yan Hongyu was protecting Meng Chang, so Zong Xin couldn't do anything about him, so he came up with this compromise idea, so that Hua Rui would cause trouble in Shu and society, which could be regarded as revenge for himself. It wasn't intended that way from the beginning. ”

"Oh......"

Chai Rong also breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard Zhao Kuangyin say that Hua Rui was a spy that Zong Xin deliberately planted next to Meng Chang, he was almost so angry that he wanted to rush to Shu to cut Zong Xin. He even did such a despicable and shameless thing, and what face did he have to be called a virtuous monk. As a result, I later learned that Zong Xin was also helpless...... Of course, even if he knew what these things were, he still wanted to rush up and cut him, because when he thought of Zongxin, he thought of that big bald head.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "At this time, Zong Xin will not kill Meng Chang, and even if Meng Chang is in trouble, Zong Xin will find a way to help." The reason is very simple, because Zongxin thinks that people like Meng Chang are good for the world when they become emperors. Maybe you think it's a little strange, but Shu has not fought for so many years because of such an unenterprising emperor, which is too important for the people. The world tastes just a bowl of peaceful tea and rice, and what the people really want is not much, that is, peace. For Zongxin, as long as he doesn't fight, anything can be accepted, so Zongxin often says that he would rather be a peace dog than a troubled world. ”

Wei Renpu said with a smile: "Zhao Kuangyin, since you said that Zong Xin admires Meng Chang so much, why didn't he help Meng Chang fight the world?"

This is not something that Wei Renpu really wants to know, this is a bar raise. The reason is very simple, a temperamentless lord like Meng Chang doesn't even appreciate Wei Renpu himself, why would Master Zongxin appreciate it?
