The demon and Dugu Xingyue hugged Zong Xin excitedly, although they had a premonition that Zong Xin would make a strange move, but they really didn't expect that Zong Xin could control the weather. The two of them felt a little strange in their hearts, Zongxin had never shown the ability to control the weather before, how many secrets did this shameless monk hide, or ...... Controlling the weather is also something that Zongxin has just learned?

The demon and Dugu Xingyue didn't dare to guess about this, because Zong Xin was originally very mysterious, even if the two pillow people didn't know the exact origin of Zong Xin, because Zong Xin didn't mention the time before Lingyun Temple, and only said that he had amnesia. But...... Zongxin often mentions things when he was a child, which also makes Zongxin untenable to say that he has amnesia.

The second is Zongxin's learning ability, his learning ability is too strong. Maybe controlling the weather is something that Zongxin has just learned, but it doesn't have to be.

Whatever the reason, the result is always good. Murong Yanchao's army was frightened back like this, and it won't come back in a short time, so everyone, you can relax. It has been a while since Yandao went to Xuzhou Xicheng, and since I came to Xuzhou Xicheng, I am worried every day, after all, the strength of the two sides is quite different, and the city wall of Xuzhou Xicheng is not high, and the newly built city wall is not built firmly in order to meet the construction period, if the other party starts to attack the city...... I can't resist it here.

Unexpectedly, Zong Xin's simple move scared away all the tens of thousands of Murong Yan's horses, even if these soldiers didn't leave, they would have no morale, they dared to fight with others, but if the other party was a human existence, these soldiers did not have the desire to win at all, then this battle would not have to be fought at all.

There was only one person present who saw the flaw, and that was Zhao Kuangyin. The distinction that Zongxin used just now is clearly ...... Thunder and thunder, nothing else. Thunder Wuji is only to increase the atmosphere, and it is not really used, as for the weather...... I really don't know how. But Zong Xin used Lei Wuji to scare people not once or twice, Zhao Kuangyin always felt that Zong Xin still had a lot of things to tell him.

After the envoy of Zong gave a look, he flew to Fan's Mansion from the battlement of the city tower with light skills, deliberately letting everyone see his figure and increasing the morale of all the soldiers. Zongxin just wants to let others know that he is here, so that the soldiers should not be afraid.

Morale is a very strange thing, as long as the soldiers are given a reason to win, the soldiers will move forward bravely, and now this kind of morale will rush over excitedly even if they go to attack Xuzhou Dongcheng.

Because they think that Zongxin is no longer a person, but a god. As long as there is a sect in the city, they will win.

Now that Murong Yanchao has withdrawn his troops, Fan Zhen also ordered to garrison the city wall, send scout troops to continue reconnaissance, and others strengthen the city wall. The city walls of Xuzhou Xicheng are still not strong enough, let alone tall enough, so they need to continue to reinforce, only in this way can they hold on until the beginning of spring next year, because Zong Xin has long said that the beginning of spring next year is the day of counterattack, and they must defend this place to the death.

........................

Xuzhou Dongcheng

The two brothers, Li Hongji and Li Hongmao, were originally excitedly waiting for the news of Murong Yanchao's victorious return, they saw Murong Yanchao lead his troops out of the city, and the two chatted on the city tower for a while, the weather has been too cold recently, far more cold than the weather in the south, so two pots of wine and a few plates of meat are extremely comfortable on the city tower.

Li Hongji said: "This weather is really cold enough, I only wear two clothes in Jinling." Xuzhou is not far from Jinling, how can there be such a big difference in climate?"

"I don't know about this, it's nothing, what do we have to do with the cold weather?" Li Hongmao said with a smile: "I have also heard of some very high mountains, one mountain and four seasons. Winter is at the top of the mountain, autumn and spring are on the mountainside, and summer is at the bottom of the mountain. How big is a mountain, can it be as big as Jinling to Xuzhou? So, it's normal for the climate to be somewhat different. ”

"You're stupid to me?"

"Big brother, anyway, no matter what we do, our soldiers still have two days to arrive, this time we are responsible for escorting the grain and grass and military salaries to Xuzhou first, this battle will not be fruitful for the time being, so we can take a look at it, so that the eldest brother knows how to lead the troops to fight, I will rely on you in the future, I have no ability, I will enjoy the food, wine and beauty in Jinling, you lead the troops to fight and calm the left. ”

Li Hongji thought about it, and suddenly said depressedly: "Why do you go to enjoy and I suffer?"

"No way, you are the crown prince, you are the one who wants to be the emperor, I am a prince, and the task of the prince is to have fun. ”

Li Hongji was awkward, but what Li Hongmao said was right, if he became the emperor, the next thing would be the same as what Li Hongmao said, he worked hard every day, and even risked his life to go out to fight and defend the territory, but Li Hongmao did not have these pressures, his identity was the prince, and he had no ability, so he could enjoy the prosperity of the world in Jinling, and the most hateful thing was that no one dared to provoke him. This kind of life is simply beautiful, don't don't want it.

Why should the emperor suffer, but the prince enjoys himself, is there any heavenly reason in the world? Two brothers and one mother, and the relationship is so good, the most important thing is that Li Hongji knows Li Hongmao too well, he is indeed not very smart, and he has no ambitions, so he will definitely live a life of pleasure all the time, even if the Tang Dynasty dies, he doesn't care much, as long as he can continue to enjoy himself.

But he is different, on the one hand, he wants to develop Datang well and unify the world. But on the other hand, I also hope to be like Li Hongmao, eat, drink and have fun every day, and when I have time, I take a few dogs out to molest women, which is called life. It would be best if the affairs of fighting the war and handling the government could be left to another person.

"Second brother, what do you say if I let the third brother deal with the government and lead the troops to fight? In this way, I can eat, drink and be merry every day, and even if I have the status of emperor, I will not suffer. Li Hongji also knew that Li Congjia was powerful, and after he regained his eyesight, he could do anything. Wouldn't it be better to let him deal with the troublesome things and take care of the pleasure himself?

Li Hongmao smiled: "Big brother, brother, I will never betray you." But can you trust Li Congjia's kid? He was smarter than us since he was a child, and I couldn't guess what was going on in his heart. If you give him too much power, you can't immediately seek to usurp the throne, and then you won't be able to eat a mouthful of prison food, let alone pleasure. ”

"That's right. Li Hongji said depressedly: "Second brother, do you have any way to let me enjoy myself all the time and develop Datang well?"

"The method is simple, in fact, we only need to give Li Congjia some troops, for example, you have 100,000 in your hand, you give him 30,000 to let him attack Wu Yue, and when the battle is almost over, you will lead the troops to a decisive victory, and the credit is all yours. After fighting Wu Yue, send him to the frontier to garrison, let him guard the territory for you, and then we will have a son, which kid is great, this kid will follow Li Congjia to learn martial arts and the art of war, and then let him work hard when that kid grows up? ”

Is Li Hongmao's method feasible? It's a bit hanging, but it's also a way of thinking, and it's not bad if it's a little shameless. Since it is the last article, let him worship Li Congjia as a teacher after having a child, this one is very good. As for other matters, we can discuss them again.

"Second brother, isn't it a little ...... to do this?"

"Shameless, right?"

Li Hongji nodded, not a little shameless, but too shameless.

Li Hongmao smiled: "I just give an opinion, you can not accept it, anyway, I have nothing else, as long as I live well." When the time comes, you can give me a throne at will, give me a little army to protect myself, give me some money every year, and I will live my own small life, and I will ask you for help if I have difficulties. ”

"Envy~ I'm so envious. Hearing you say this, I don't even want to be an emperor anymore, and it's best to be a prince. Li Hongji said: "But I know that if I am not the emperor, you will not be so free." Otherwise......"

"Come less, I will never be the emperor, if I am allowed to be the emperor, Datang will be defeated by me in a few years. ”

"I know, I didn't say giving up the throne to you. Li Hongji said: "Although there are many inconveniences in being an emperor, being an emperor is the best, and I don't want to give up this opportunity." I'm just thinking that my father is in good shape now, we have nothing to worry about for the time being, and when my father dies, our son will almost grow up, and we won't have to worry about it then. ”

Li Hongmao raised his glass and said: "Then it's hard brother, little brother toasts you." ”

"~!"

"~!"

The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all, and then the dust flew in the distance, and the troop of horsemen walked towards Xuzhou City. It's not fast, but it's impressive.

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were both stunned, how could this be? Didn't Murong Yanchao just go out? Could it be that he was robbed and killed by the enemy army on the way, and now the enemy army has killed Xuzhou. I only received a reply from the spies yesterday, Chai Rong and his 80,000 army still need three days to reach Xuzhou Xicheng, is there a mistake in the intelligence?

Li Hongji suddenly thought that Zongxin's soldiers were like gods, could it be that the spies were the people from Zongxin's side, first pretending that it would take a long time to arrive, and then secretly ambushed. When Murong Yanchao led the troops to call for battle, he suddenly attacked secretly, and now nearly 100,000 troops have killed Xuzhou City, so what is it?

After thinking about it again, Murong Yanchao was not so weak, and he was killed just after he went out? Besides, there was no ambush between the two cities, if it had been found lying on the side of the road, and the scouts had been wandering around the west city of Xuzhou, how could it be that tens of thousands of troops had not been found entering the city.

Even if you think of the worst result, Murong Yanchao's troops were indeed ambushed, but with Murong Yanchao's skills, they should be able to escape, and it is impossible for the whole army to be wiped out, so it is better to escape a little bit.

Li Hongji thought about it for so long, and finally could determine one thing, this unit was Murong Yanchao's, as for why he came back just after going out...... I don't know about this, maybe I forgot something. It's not so sloppy, isn't it, when you lead troops to fight and go home to get things?
