It was originally an encouragement before going to the battlefield, but after being questioned several times by Zongzheng, it turned into a criticism meeting, and the atmosphere changed abruptly, however, no one noticed the abrupt change in the atmosphere.

"In your opinion, is there any way you can win without a fight?" asked Ali Buge,

"Of course, I have already thought of a way to win without a fight, but I never thought that this sudden rain would make the Great Khan so impatient!" Zong Zheng replied, his tone a little harsh.

"Let's talk about it!" Ali Buge asked coldly, and everyone present focused on Zongzheng, looking forward to what Zongzheng would say.

Zong Zhengze said confidently and calmly in front of everyone,

"Actually, whether you fight or not, this heavy rain has helped the Great Khan you, I believe that the Great Khan is going to brave the rain to fight a decisive battle with Kublai Khan has reached his camp, he lost food first, morale is low, as long as the Great Khan drives the expedition in person, only needs to press the battle with heavy troops, I think the soldiers in his camp will be frightened and flee without a fight, at that time, Kublai Khan's camp will be in chaos"

"And then take advantage of the situation to attack?" Asutai suddenly interrupted Zongzheng's words and asked,

Hearing Asutai's question, Ali Buge looked a little disdainful, because he knew that Kublai Khan would always have some soldiers around him who would never abandon him, these people have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have been trained for a long time, even if there are other soldiers who are not attached to the rout, but these people who remain are still amazingly powerful, they are the backbone of Kublai Khan, and they will naturally not be in chaos.

Zong Zheng stayed in Kublai Khan's camp for a long time, so he naturally knew this, and how could Ali Buge, as an opponent, not know this? From the slight flash of disdain of Ali Buge, Zong Zheng had already guessed his thoughts,

"No, King Fachi, you are wrong!" said Zong Zheng loudly in front of everyone,

Ali Buge suddenly became concerned from his disdain, and he looked directly at Zongzheng, expecting what kind of words Zongzheng would say to further impress him.

"According to what you say, according to the art of war, shouldn't you take advantage of the enemy's disarray to attack?" Asutai retorted.

Zong Zheng also refuted through Asutai's words: "However, the art of war also has a cloud: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" Do you really know Kublai Khan? No matter when and where, there will be a group of loyal people around him who will not abandon him, these people are the backbone of his army, his elite, his trump card, these people have been on the battlefield for a long time, they have never seen any battles, they will not be in danger. ”

"And what about them?" asked Ali Buge,

The rebuttal between Zongzheng and Asutai made Ali Buge see that what Zongzheng said was not false, and he thought that it was reasonable and reasonable, so he became serious and attached more importance to Zongzheng.

Zong Zheng replied to Ali Buge: "Actually, if you want to deal with a person, the key is to find his weakness, as long as you find the weakness of these people and attack hard, then even the most powerful enemy will be defeated, these people seem to be strong and invincible, but after all, there is still a weakness!"

"What weakness?" asked Ali Buge very eagerly,

"Kublai Khan!, Kublai Khan is their weakness!" Zong Zheng Ling Ran said,

Ali Buge's eyebrows sank slightly, and he didn't understand what Zongzheng meant at all.

Zong Zheng continued to explain: "The reason why this group of people can be closely united is because of Kublai Khan, if the Great Khan can control Kublai Khan, they will naturally lose the core of unity. ”

"Although the words are reasonable, but how can we control Kublai Khan!" Ali Buge replied and asked,

"The same reason, in fact, he fought with the Great Khan, there is also a hurdle in his heart that cannot be overcome, he has the same worries and concerns as you, which is why he has been trying his best not to fight the Great Khan head-on large-scale decisive battle, he just wants to win by surprise, in order to retain the strength of the Mongols, this is his weakness; at that time, Kublai Khan knew that he was obviously at a disadvantage, and naturally knew that there was no hope of victory, and he would definitely not have a large-scale war conflict with the Great Khan in order to retain the strength of the Mongols, but he could not surrender directly, because he could not explain to his subordinates who had been following him, and the Great Khan only had to give the steps for negotiation, I think Kublai Khan would have resolutely descended this step even if he knew that it was a trap, and at that time, the Great Khan would win the final victory without blood, and the Great Khan would have won the final victory!"

For what Zongzheng said, Brother Ali is very clear, and it is very likely, because he knows his fourth brother very well, and in the final analysis, he is still a brother, after all, he still knows each other's temperament very well, and it is really at that point, it is not impossible for his fourth brother to take this step.

"But what if everything is different from what you expected?" Asotai asked rhetorically.

"That's a good question! It's all just your deduction, what if the actual situation is different?" Hun Duhai echoed,

Zong Zheng replied impressively: "If there are no soldiers to flee, if Kublai Khan does not do what I said, then the Great Khan will pour his army into a decisive battle, and I will not stop it at all, but I still hope that the Great Khan will not rush into a decisive battle for the sake of the Mongolian ancestors and descendants, and try it!"

Zongzheng's request gave Ali Buge no reason to refuse, because, no matter what the situation, he was in an invincible position, and according to Zongzheng's words, he could take a risk and win without a fight, which was worthy of his ancestors and could leave strength for the future attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, so he still chose to do what Zongzheng said, looking at the eyes of everyone looking forward to his final decision, Ali Buge wanted to solemnly announce this decision, and he stood up strongly,

"The whole army obeys orders"

"Report!" the front detectives rushed into the camp tent, dripping with rain, and a loud 'report' interrupted Ali Buge's order.

"What's wrong?" asked Ali Buge,

"Back to the Great Khan, report from the front, our forward army has arrived at the enemy camp, and found that a large number of soldiers have fled in the enemy camp!" replied the detective,

Hearing this news, Zong Zheng immediately realized that the original plan was advanced because of this heavy rain, which also happened to dispel Ali Buge's concerns at a critical moment, he knew very well that it must be Fa Siba or Liu Bingzhong who realized this, so he advanced the time to cooperate with himself, at this point, it seems that smart people still have a very tacit understanding to deal with each other.

Therefore, Zong Zheng took advantage of the situation to immediately congratulate Ali Bugedao,

"Great! Great Khan, as I expected! This is really God bless the Great Khan, God bless Mongolia!"

The rest of the Qianhu generals also followed with a postscript to congratulate: "God bless the Great Khan, God bless Mongolia!"

In a burst of loud voices, Ali Buge became more determined in his decision, and he trusted and relied on Zongzheng more and more.

After the sound of celebration died down, Ali Buge asked Zongzheng: "Zongzheng, since Kublai Khan has already appeared to have broken and fled, how do you think Ben Khan should deal with it next?"

With Kublai Khan's tacit cooperation and this timely news, Zong Zheng naturally had more confidence than before, so he stepped forward and replied confidently: "Hui Great Khan, we should besiege but not attack next, and continue to clamor Kublai Khan's soldiers until Kublai Khan's army is shaken, and then propose to him to negotiate, and then try to control Kublai Khan!"

"Well, okay! That's it!" Ali Buge felt that it was reasonable, so he agreed to Zongzheng's proposal.

According to the arrangement, Ali Buge's army implemented a two-watch rotation system, and only besieged Kublai Khan's camp but did not attack it, and from time to time sent people to shout to the soldiers in the camp, and what they said was only to persuade them to surrender and touch the morale of the soldiers.

In this way, the confrontation lasted for three days, the soldiers in Kublai Khan's camp fled in the rain and at night, and half of them fled unconsciously, the situation was uncontrollable, and as long as the soldiers kept fleeing, Ali Buge would never give the order to attack, and Kublai Khan did not dare to act rashly.

It was not until the weather cleared up three days later that the situation of the rout was slightly controlled, and as Zongzheng had predicted, the rest of the people were loyal and brave men who had followed Kublai Khan from the beginning to the end.

Because Zongzheng's plans were all top secret, in Kublai Khan's camp, only Kublai Khan himself, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba knew about it, so the rest of the unaware generals saw such a rout and asked Kublai Khan to make a timely move to kill people and establish power, but they were repeatedly rejected by Kublai Khan, because he knew very well that this rout was extremely critical, and if he really stopped the rout, then he would really be defeated.

The sun rose slightly, the moisture on the ground was faint, and Ali Buge's army was still firmly stationed, eyeing the tiger.

In contrast, Kublai Khan's camp was full of decay, but a closer look at the deployment in the camp showed that the defense was solid, worthy of a battle-hardened soldier.

As soon as the rain stopped, Ali Buge went to Zongzheng with some impatience and explained that he wanted to propose negotiations to Kublai Khan immediately, but Zongzheng rejected it, and he told Ali Buge that now was definitely not the best time to make this negotiation request.

Brother Ali Buge asked anxiously, "When is the best time?"

Zong Zheng saw that Brother Ali Buge seemed to be unable to wait, so he reminded in a good voice: "Great Khan, those who become big things must be cautious, I promise, tomorrow at the latest, as soon as tonight, there will be results!"

"What do you mean?" Ali Buge didn't understand what Zongzheng meant, so he asked,

"For Kublai Khan, he will not easily admit defeat until he is in a desperate situation, although the strength bias of the two sides has been obvious, but as long as he is not defeated, there will be a possibility of a turnaround, he has run out of food and grass, so, I think he will never be restrained, as soon as the rain stops, he will make a move, as long as we kill his last hope, then he will naturally gladly accept the Great Khan's request to negotiate!" Zong Zheng explained,

Brother Ali Bu knew his fourth brother too well, and he suddenly realized that Zongzheng's analysis was very reasonable, "Then what action do you think he will take?"

"The chances are equal, so my guess is that he will most likely take the quickest and most effective way to do it, and that is to send someone to assassinate you! Zong Zheng replied,

Ali Buge's face turned pale in an instant, and after being reminded by Zongzheng's words, he suddenly felt that he was careless, and he couldn't help but feel grateful for Zongzheng, and sighed in his heart: "If Ben Khan had obtained Zongzheng earlier, I'm afraid Kublai Khan would have been defeated by me a long time ago!"
