Zong Xin's strength is too strong, and Li Congjia doesn't want to offend Zong Xin until he has to. Of course, he didn't want to offend Wuyazi, because Wuyazi's strength was equally strong. If he really turned his face with Wuyazi and provoked Wuyazi to prepare to destroy Nantang, this would not be much different from offending a Zongxin.

Li Congjia came to the door of Wuyazi's house and slammed the door with his hand. Now that he can't take care of any etiquette, even His Royal Highness Nantang San is in a hurry.

The door is divided to the left and right, and the person who greets the door is a woman, but it is not Xiang'er. This woman Li Congjia also knows, it is Dugu Xingyue.

"Why are you here?"

"Please come in, justice is waiting for you. ”

"Are you a father?" Li Congjia looked at Dugu Xingyue in surprise, could it be that Zongxin was here? How could it be? How could he come to Shouzhou...... No, if Zongxin was alive, he would definitely come to Shouzhou, because Wuyazi's character of liking to cause trouble was learned from Zongxin.

This time, Da Zhou sneaked up on the Southern Tang Army, and Zong Xin would definitely come to see the excitement for such a big thing. In fact, Li Congjia had already thought of this, but it was impossible for Zong Xin to let others see him.

Li Congjia followed Dugu Xingyue to the courtyard, there was a large table in the courtyard, there was a hot pot in the middle of the table, and there was a circle of people outside. Li Congjia also knew these people, except for Wuyazi and Xiang'er, Zong Xin and his four wives were all present.

"Even if you are here, I know that you can't die, and if you encounter a sneak attack by the navy army with your character, you will definitely run away as soon as possible, and then come back to report to Li Jing. You can't think of any other way, so you're ready to come to Tianya, if Tianya is willing to help Nantang survive this crisis, then you won't do anything. If he is unwilling, you will directly threaten Chai Rong with his life to withdraw from the army, even if Chai Rong knows that this will not work, he must retreat, otherwise Guo Wei's bloodline will be cut off in his hands. ”

Zong Xin directly said Li Congjia's thoughts along the way, which made Li Congjia a little overwhelmed. I know that Zongxin is powerful, but it is really surprising that he can see people's hearts so thoroughly.

"You knew this was going to happen?"

"Nonsense, what am I doing?" Zong Xin said: "After more than a month, the fight finally started." Last night's battle was really exciting, the fleet of 100,000 people is already half of the strength of the Southern Tang Naval Army, this time it was completely wiped out, and it is impossible to dominate the water in the future. ”

Li Congjia really despised this group of people, and knew that there would be such a result, so they were watching the play from the side...... Is the life and death of these 100,000 people worthless in their eyes? Of course, Zong Xin is the kind of person who can't even blink an eye when he kills tens of thousands of people, so it is also his style for him to watch the play from the side.

"I don't have anything to say, Zongxin, we are also old friends, it's hard to see you, how about you give me a way? Li Congjia didn't plan to beat around the bush and asked Zongxin directly.

Zong Xin said: "I'm not a late Taoist, I have to charge." And I charge very expensive, and it is estimated that your Nantang treasury will be emptied. ”

"What is the tone of the two of you master and apprentice?"

"Tianya, you said the same thing?"

"Master, I was taught by you, don't you know what I will say?" Tianya said: "It doesn't matter~ Anyway, Shouzhou is indestructible, and the eldest brother doesn't dare to come in." At most, it is to attack a few surrounding cities and consolidate the power east of the Huai River. Even if Huaidong was completely occupied by the eldest brother, it would not be possible to attack Jinling, and there was still the Yangtze River outside Jinling? Half of the naval army in the Southern Tang Dynasty was still fixed in the Yangtze River valley, and the Yangtze River was much deeper than the Huai River, and Zhao Kuangyin's method was not applicable in the Yangtze River, and the Zhou army still could not defeat the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the Yangtze River will not recede like the Huai River even in winter, and it is impossible for my eldest brother to dig through the Yangtze River, so Jinling is still very safe. ”

"The analysis is good, so what do you think will happen next?" Zongxin no longer treats Tianya as a child now, because he has already married a wife. Although he is an apprentice, he is also a good friend.

Tianya said: "I don't think anything big will happen, anyway, the Zhou army has defeated the Southern Tang Water Army, and the next thing is to seize all the boundaries east of the Huai River, including Chu." Because it cannot cross the Yangtze River, it can only be eaten little by little. This is a slow process, and the Southern Tang Dynasty can only wait slowly, constantly strengthen the construction of the naval army, and maintain the control of the Yangtze River Basin, although this will greatly damage the national strength, but it will not destroy the country. ”

"How can this be?" Li Congjia gritted his teeth and said: "There are fourteen states in Jiangbei, will all of them be defeated by the Zhou army? This is almost half of the rivers and mountains of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

"What's the solution? It's because you don't listen to me, that's why this is the result. Don't you think you're very powerful? I gave advice, but you didn't listen, and you sent so many people to spy on me...... "Tianya has long said that their method is not feasible, and sticking to Shouzhou is the only way out, it is this group of people who want to waste themselves, and now they feel that they are at a loss." As for the things that Li Congjia sent to monitor, he didn't pay attention to them at all, because these people couldn't keep an eye on him.

"Is there a way to stop this?" Li Congjia didn't want to give up the land of Jiangbei, thinking that Shi Jingtang would get the world by ceding the sixteen states of Youyun, and there were fourteen states in the land of Jiangbei, which was a lot more than Shi Jingtang's contribution. If it is slowly eaten away by the Great Zhou in this way, the Southern Tang Dynasty will definitely collapse in the future.

Tianya said: "It's almost impossible to stop all this, unless my master is willing to take action." Otherwise, those 200,000 troops will scare you to death. The fourteen states of Jiangbei could not be defended, and even if they fought hard, it would only accelerate the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Congjia actually knew very well in his heart that the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not something that the Southern Tang could deal with at all. What's more, the 100,000 naval army has just been lost, which is already half of the strength of the Southern Tang naval army.

Although the infantry of the Southern Tang Dynasty can barely piece together 100,000 now, this is not a way, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as good as that of the Great Zhou, not to mention that there are people like Fan Zhen and Zhao Kuangyin in the Great Zhou military camp...... If Zhao Kuangyin rushes to kill on the battlefield, ordinary people can't stop it at all, Fan Zhen's mind is extremely smart, and it is impossible to play tricks with him.

How can this disadvantage be reversed? Perhaps, as Tianya said, unless Zong Xin is willing to help, it is impossible to stop the Great Zhou army.

"There's absolutely no way I'm going to help, I don't have anything to do with Nantang, and I'm a dead man now. So...... I have no opinion on this matter at all. Li Congjia, you have no problem doing this, you can understand my temper, not to mention that you can't come up with conditions that make my heart move. ”

Li Congjia really understands Zongxin, and he will do what he is interested in if there is no benefit, if he is not interested, he will still do it if he is given enough conditions. But today's Southern Tang Dynasty can no longer give Zong Xin the conditions he wants, the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty is already poor, not to mention that Zong Xin is the most money-hungry person in the world.

What can Nan Tang give him? Power, fame, money, and beautiful women, these things are not lacking. Unless there is some peerless treasure that makes Zong Xin extremely excited, but Nantang really has nothing to give.

If Zongxin was not there, Li Congjia could have forced Tianya a little, but he didn't help when Zongxin was there...... I really can't help it.

"Then~ Tianya, do you have any opinions?" Li Congjia asked, "What do you think should be done now to redeem this disadvantage?"

"As I said, it's impossible to undo this disadvantage, but you can try to preserve your strength. Now that Da Zhou has only won one battle, he will immediately go to seek peace at this time, and the two sides can negotiate terms. It's a big deal to cede all the land in Jiangbei and coexist peacefully for the time being. Doing so will buy you time to try to get up again. If I let my eldest brother keep fighting...... It is not impossible to approach Jinling. ”

"Didn't you say that Jinling was safe? The Great Zhou could not cross the Yangtze River. How could they go straight to Jinling?"

"Nonsense, do you think that the Great Zhou Dynasty has no naval army? Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty naval army has been hit hard, and the Great Zhou has captured so many things and warships, the strength of the naval army must have increased significantly. Tianya said: "After waiting for a year or two, even if the strength of the Great Zhou Navy is not as good as that of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but it is like this, and it will definitely prepare early." When it reaches the Yangtze River, even if the strength of the Great Zhou Navy cannot be compared with the Southern Tang Dynasty, it can at least hold back the Southern Tang Water Army. After holding one place, let the infantry cross the river...... At that time, even if you ask for peace, it will be useless. So take advantage of the opportunity to make peace immediately, so that you can even offer some conditions for my eldest brother to meet, and then let my eldest brother govern the land of Jiangbei, you can develop the navy and control the Yangtze River Basin, only by doing so can you have a glimmer of life. ”

Li Congjia tried to imagine that the situation was not as serious as he said. How is this possible? The fourteen states are completely unconditionally given to Chai Rong, who can do such a thing?

Li Congjia said: "Are you free? If you are free, come with me, my father wants to summon you." ”

"Not available...... I'm eating hot pot. I finally saw Master once, of course, I had to drink and chat with Master. Even if Li Jing comes here in person, I won't give this face, you should know very well that my master never gives face to the emperor, and there have been several emperors who have died in his hands, and they are all seen with my own eyes. Tianya said: "Master, in fact, my father should be considered to have died in your hands." ”

"You can't talk nonsense, I admire your father very much, I didn't kill him, the person who killed him was Wu Yan Hongyu. ”

Tianya said: "But...... My dad was helping you heal your injuries and caused himself to be too seriously injured. I don't mean anything else, I just want to help you increase your record. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, your father is the person I admire the most. Throughout the ages, there were not many people who could pass on the throne to people who were not related by blood, and all emperors wanted to pass it on to their own sons, and a person with such a big heart like his father-in-law should be respected. For as long as I can remember, I haven't cried except on the day my father-in-law died. ”
