Zong Xin deliberately cut off his own financial route, using this method to contain Li Jing's development, Li Jing, who has no money, cannot fight a war of attrition with Guo Wei, as long as he insists on a few waves of attacks, Li Jing will retreat, and it will be too late to leave Murong Yanchao to defect to the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can Murong Yanchao be wiped out.

Zongxin can even make use of this kind of thing for the benefit of the world, so he has to admire. Of course, there is also the matter of silver tickets is indeed exquisite, which is equivalent to the state giving the people a white note, as long as the country is not destroyed, these silver tickets can be exchanged for silver, after learning this situation, the people will also be very enthusiastic to give the silver to themselves.

Compared with Yandao's 20% income, Guo Wei has always valued Zongxin's ability and wit more. Although Guo Wei was extremely ashamed when Zongxin Yandao married Ning An, but now that Zongxin wants to recover these two percent of the income, and everyone can't make money, Guo Wei feels relaxed about it.

Then the next thing is to prepare for Xuzhou, Li Jing will not send troops for the time being, so he must prepare supplies first. It is a little strange, why did Zong Xin let himself prepare clothes for the soldiers to spend the winter? The temperature in Xuzhou, even in winter, how cold is Xingdi, what to do with the clothes for the winter?

Although it is a little strange, after so many months of peaceful development without war at all, Guo Wei's treasury has been fully replenished, and now it can be used a little. According to Guo Wei's thoughts, this battle should be not far away, it is still late summer and early autumn, and it should be about the same in two or three months, when it is just winter, and the temperature in the south, there is no need to prepare any winter clothes.

Of course, this money should be spent, maybe this battle will take a long time, and no matter how warm the south is, it will be cold in winter, so it is not wrong to let the soldiers dress warmly.

"Zongxin~ Just now you asked me to prepare more clothes and supplies for the winter, do you mean that this battle is going to be fought to see the beginning of spring? This battle has not started yet, I am thinking about the appearance of you holding guns in the cold, fortunately, the temperature in the south, even in winter, it will not be too cold. You haven't seen the winter of Khitan, it's so cold that it freezes when you breathe in. ”

Every time there is a war, Guo Wei will think of the sentence 'Since ancient times, soldiers do not like to fight, they join the army for a mouthful of food and clothing, it would be great if they could not fight. Although he thought so in his heart, Guo Wei knew that it was impossible not to fight, and the longest truce since ancient times was the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but it was a pity that such a strong dynasty would inevitably perish in the end, how many years could he hold out on to this Great Zhou?

Zong Xin shook his head and said: "It's not about more preparation, it's about more preparation, this year's winter is unusually cold." ”

I haven't heard of it, Zong Xin's words once again made Guo Wei confused. Xuzhou belongs to the south, and beyond that is Jinling, the granary of the world, how can it be cold there? And it is unusually cold.

Guo Wei looked at Zong Xin with disdain, and then asked, "This...... You can even do this kind of thing?"

"I haven't tried it, but it should work. Anyway, these things have to be prepared sooner or later, and there's nothing wrong with you preparing them in advance. Anyway, if the temperature drops dramatically, won't you take advantage of it? Even if you don't, you won't lose anything. ”

"Yes. Guo Wei said: "As long as you don't have to deal with the combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan, it is enough to deal with Murong Yan with more than 80,000." Li Jing is suspicious by nature, as long as he sees that Murong Yanchao can't give him much benefit, he will immediately withdraw from the army. At that time, Murong Yanchao will not be able to take refuge in Li Jing even if he wants to, he is afraid of my targeting. Murong Yanchao will be blocked in Xuzhou, but the premise is that we can win this battle. ”

"Definitely win. ”

Guo Wei nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Guo Wei didn't have any doubts about Zongxin, but he asked a few more questions because he was worried. In this case, only Zong Xin's words are useful, otherwise, as the king of a country, Guo Wei would not be able to completely ignore the combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan and send all 80,000 soldiers to Xuzhou.

Although Zong Xin has cheated many people, Zong Xin has saved more people, and Guo Wei's intuition is very accurate, and his intuition tells Guo Wei that Zong Xin will never harm him. Not only because Zong Xin has saved himself so many times and married his daughter, but the most important thing is his intuition.

"Finally, I can avenge the blood hatred for Dong'er and Le'an, and I want to drive the expedition in person. ”

Zong Xin immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you can't go." I forgot to mention this matter, let Chai Rong lead the troops to resist the Southern Tang and Murong Yanchao, you can take a little soldiers to the Song valve in Weizhou, and after driving the Khitan and the Northern Han away, it is not too late to go to Xuzhou. ”

"This ......" Guo Wei thought for a moment, then nodded: "Oh~ I see." I understood, I finally understood. No wonder it was said that there was no need to send troops to Weizhou, but it turned out to be a widow. It's right to think about it, why did Song Yan resist the Khitan and Northern Han coalition forces for me? If it weren't for my personal presence, Song Yan would not have given this face. ”

"That's right, now the Great Zhou is a three-sided enemy, not only the combined forces of the Northern Han and the Khitan, but also the pressure of the Khitan on Cangzhou, and Murong Yanchao colluded with the Tang Dynasty to prepare a counterattack. No matter how many troops you have, you can't fill such a big hole. So just one word, drag. ”

Guo Wei asked, "How long will it last?"

"Drag it out until the beginning of spring, after the beginning of spring, the Khitan soldiers are in a hurry to go home to plant spring wheat, even if Yelu Jing is mediocre, he will not abandon the world, and then the Khitan will retreat. is just a Northern Han, if he doesn't attack, if he dares to attack, he will kill him without leaving a piece of armor. The 80,000 army of Xuzhou has been holding on for half a year, and I am holding my breath in my heart, and when you go to Xuzhou, you will be able to win a big victory. But...... You have to work hard for your father-in-law, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty wants to seize the world, and he will never stop easily, and he will definitely attack Weizhou. When the time comes, the envoys of various festivals see that their emperor will go to Weizhou alone after having no soldiers to send, and they will also fully support their father-in-law, and it is not difficult to defend Weizhou, but they will suffer a little bit of strength and nowhere to go. ”

Guo Wei nodded and said, "How can this be considered angry? It's just sticking to the city, and there's nothing to be angry about." But I get what you mean. You don't need to bring troops to Weizhou, but I have to bring enough food and grass to pay for the army, right? ”

"No need, I said that the Thunder King's Mansion will provide full help, and when the time comes, not only the troops, but also countless goods. As long as you go to Weizhou to stabilize the morale of the army, let the people of the Song lord know that you live and die with Weizhou, and boost their morale. When the time comes, you can just seal a few nominal positions, or make a few white slips, and Song Yan will be very happy. ”

Guo Wei took a deep breath and said, "It's not suitable, Song Yan is also your father-in-law, you can't trap him like this." ”

"It's okay, Lei Wangfu will help you give money. ”

"Oh~ yes. Guo Wei said: "I'm a little curious, why is Lei Wang's Mansion like your family? What do you let Lei Hong do, he will do it, I have always been very strange about this matter but I am embarrassed to ask." ”

"One moment me, one moment I, one moment widow...... I don't think it's weird to hear. ”

Guo Wei said: "I haven't gotten used to those titles, and I often can't change my mouth." You answer the question head-on, don't think that I have a bad brain, just change the tone of conversation and this matter will pass. ”

Zong Xin explained: "The reason is very simple, I have a cooperative relationship with Lei Hong. Most of the money in Yandao is stored in him, Lei Hong has no strength, but he is the biggest beneficiary of Yandao, otherwise why would he be so good to me? Moreover, Lei Hong wants to take me as an apprentice, because my talent is very similar to his, and Lei Hong has always liked me very much at a glance. Of course, the most important thing is...... Lei Hong also regained his youth. Actually, I secretly hid two drops of Qilin blood, one for Lei Hong and one for Song Yan, otherwise why would they help us so much?"

Guo Wei nodded, if this was a transaction, it would make perfect sense. Unexpectedly, Zong Xin paid two drops of Qilin blood for this transaction, you must know that these Qilin blood are extremely precious and can restore a person's youth for twenty years.

Although Zongxin's plan is very tight, it is ...... Guo Wei felt a little lost, and really wanted to taste the taste of unicorn blood. Twenty years of youth, if you can get this drop of unicorn blood, you may be able to directly rush into the Northern Han Dynasty and slaughter Liu Chong, with the current martial arts plus twenty years of youth, there is absolutely no problem.

Zong Xin continued: "Father-in-law, don't think about it too much, you only have three years of the life of the Son of Heaven, and it will be a waste of Qilin blood for you." And if they don't do this, how can Song Valve and Lei Wangfu help this a lot?"

"No, no, no, you're thinking too much. I'm not coveting the divine effect of the Qilin blood, I just want to...... It's good when you're young. Guo Wei said: "You may not know that my current identity is not comparable to when I was young." I used to stay with your mother-in-law without sleeping for a few nights and didn't feel tired at all, but now I ...... My body is no longer good, so I want to reminisce about how I felt at that time. The more I know when I die, the more I want to cherish the present. ”

Zongxin took out a bottle from his bosom, which contained the dried ginseng fruit. Zong Xin looked at this old man with a depressed face, so old, and so busy with state affairs, he was still in the mood to think about this kind of thing, although he also understood it, but ...... You have to take care of your body.

"It's ginseng seeds, a great tonic that will make sure you're in better shape at night than when you were younger. Zong Xin poured out two from the bottle and put them on the table, and then said: "The medicine is very strong, take care of the body first, don't keep thinking about this kind of thing." ”

"Do you want to take care of it?" Guo Wei immediately put away the two ginseng seeds, in fact, the imperial doctor will also dispense this kind of medicine, but Guo Wei has not mentioned this kind of thing for the sake of face, and it is impossible for the imperial doctor to take the initiative to say that the emperor's health is not good, and he needs some medicine to improve his ability. And when it comes to Guo Wei's skills, coupled with hard work day and night, ordinary drugs don't work at all.

Zong Xin looked at the sky, the two had been talking for a long time, and it was almost time to go to rest. Guo Wei didn't have a few words with Tianya and Ning An now.
