Chapter 164: The first attempt to provoke suspicion
Zong Zheng wanted to go to Xianjie's tent, but he was stopped by Fa Siba halfway, and seeing Fa Sipa's face full of worry, Zong Zheng knew what Fa Siba was doing.
Fa Sipa asked, "Zongzheng, what are you thinking?"
Zong Zheng replied: "National Teacher, I know the doubts in your heart, you must be wondering why I am suddenly willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the Great Khan. ”
Fa Sipa's mind was broken by Zongzheng, and he bluntly said: "With all due respect, with my intuition, there must be some conspiracy in this!"
"Conspiracy?" Zong Zheng sneered, "You and Liu Xingtai are both extremely smart people, in front of the two wise men, what conspiracy can I have, as far as the strategic plan I just talked about, I also explained the pros and cons according to the facts, and it was decided by the Great Khan, even if there is any conspiracy, you can not see through it, and the heroic Great Khan can easily see through it, how can you agree with my strategic plan." ”
According to reliable information, Ali Buge's army stationed in Helin is indeed very weak, although there is a certain risk of attacking Helin this time, but Fa Siba knows very well in his heart that the possibility of defeat is the lowest.
"I can tell you frankly, however, that I am not willing to cooperate with the Great Khan, but that I am forced to do so, and I have no choice but to do so! Zong Zheng continued,
Fa Sipa paid careful attention to Zongzheng's eyes, he could feel that Zongzheng did have a helpless mind, but he didn't understand who was forcing him to cooperate with the Great Khan, so he asked, "Who forced you?"
The position of the valley lord of the beauty valley is very clear, but he does not dare to make it public, this point has already been explained by the valley master, so Zong Zheng did not dare to tell the truth, so he vaguely reminded: "Can the national teacher remember that I was robbed by another group of unknown people?"
"Why? Who are they? Could it be that they forced you to cooperate with the Great Khan?"
"Yes, it's them, but I can't tell them their identities for the time being, and I ask the national teacher to understand my hardship!" Zong Zheng replied, and after speaking, he saluted and took his leave.
Fa Si Pa did not stop and continued to ask, that day to see Zong Zheng, Fa Si Pa had doubts, I don't know why Zong Zheng was robbed a few days later and appeared safely, today I heard what Zong Zheng said, this doubt in my heart dissipated, but I can't help but have another layer of doubts, those people are from the hands of the gang of masters sent by Ali Buge, it seems that they are not with Ali Buge, according to Zongzheng, those people are forcing Zongzheng to work for the Great Khan, if those people are supporting the Great Khan, then it is okay, if there are ulterior motives, then you have to be careful。
Don't say Fa Siba, even Kublai Khan is still not very stable in his heart, and after everyone disperses, he still finds Liu Bingzhong.
・Kublai Khan explained his suspicions to Liu Bingzhong, and Liu Bingzhong said to Kublai Khan: "As far as Zongzheng's strategy to capture Helin is concerned, to be honest, this idea is bold enough, of course, there is no shortage of crises, if Zong Zheng had already thrown himself into Ali Buge and joined forces with him to make a situation in Helin, then we have to say that it will be a complete defeat, if Zong Zheng really serves the Great Khan, then it is likely to turn the tide of the war and force Ali Buge out of the north; Of course, no matter who he helps, we have to keep a hand and be on guard, please rest assured that the Great Khan has already made arrangements, even if Zong Zheng really designed to frame us, we will not fall into a very passive situation. ”
Kublai Khan knew Liu Bingzhong's calm and sophisticated temperament, so he didn't ask him what precautions he had taken, and with Liu Bingzhong's words, his heart was also a little calm.
Liu Bingzhong pondered for a while, and then added: "Actually, the Great Khan doesn't have to doubt Zongzheng too much, after what happened last time, the old minister feels that Zongzheng is a credible person, he acts above board, not like a treacherous person." ”
If it is said before, Kublai Khan would have always believed in Zongzheng, but this time, after knowing another layer of Zongzheng's identity and knowing that he has the ability to dominate the general trend of the world, he has to be vigilant, because there are too many people who want to get him, and in order to get him, it is difficult to guarantee that they will do some unexpected means to force him to comply, or tempt him with something.
Kublai Khan didn't know whether he had been the first to be controlled by the opponent before he got Zongzheng, so he was very entangled in his first advice, as far as the suggestion itself is concerned, the pros and cons are known, there are both great opportunities and great crises, this bold suggestion is very important, the key is to see where Zongzheng belongs, which also confirms from another side that Zongzheng has the ability to dominate the general trend of the world, and it also makes Kublai Khan have to be wary of Zongzheng.
As far as Zongzheng, who made the suggestion, was concerned, Kublai Khan wanted to show his reliance and trust in him, but he also had to take care of his plots.
Liu Bingzhong did not know another layer of Zongzheng's identity, so he did not know where Kublai Khan's suspicion came from, and it was difficult to understand Kublai Khan's suspicion of Zongzheng for a while.
Kublai Khan knew Liu Bingzhong's words, and he wanted to inform Zongzheng of another layer of identity, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly couldn't help but take it back.
Zong Zheng hurriedly went to Xianjie's tent, Xianjie saw that Brother Zheng was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zheng, what happened?"
"Xian'er, I think, we have to be separated for a while. Zong Zheng replied in a low voice,
When Xianjie heard the word 'separation', she naturally felt a wave of sadness in her heart, "Why" Xianjie looked at Zong Zheng and asked, her eyes full of puzzlement.
Zong Zheng put his hands on Xianjie's shoulders and comforted him softly: "Time is pressing, it's too late to explain, all in all, you must stay in this camp, no matter when and where you don't leave the camp, Brother Zheng promises that we can all reunite safely." ”
Xianjie said excitedly: "No, Brother Zheng, Xian'er will always be with you, Xian'er can't be separated from Brother Zheng anymore, Xian'er can't stand life and death anymore!"
Zong Zheng knew that after Xianjie experienced the last incident, he left an indelible shadow in his heart, and he couldn't bear to leave Xianjie, looking at her worried and frightened appearance, he could only be helpless, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." 'In order to be together for a longer time, we can only endure temporary separation, so Ann advises,
"Xian'er, you listen to Brother Zheng, we are only temporarily separated, I believe it will not be more than half a month, we will be able to get together again, Brother Zheng promises you!"
As soon as Zong Zheng's words fell, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the tent, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers surrounded the tent.
Zong Zheng knew that Fa Si Pa was wary of himself, so he rushed to Xian Jie's camp one step first, and gave him some entrustment.
Zong Zheng opened the curtain, and Fa Siba stepped forward to speak, but Zong Zheng stopped him first, "National teacher, can you take a step to speak?"
Fa Siba knew that Zong Zheng was afraid of Xianjie, so he suggested that his subordinates keep an eye on Xianjie in the tent, and he and Zong Zheng came to a remote place.
"What does this mean by the national teacher?" asked Zong Zheng, but he knew it in his heart.
Fa Sipa replied: "Zongzheng, the matter is very high, your sudden change of attitude makes me have to guard against it, the Great Khan can fully trust you, but I can't, so I can only temporarily detain your wife as a hostage." ”
Zong Zheng had anticipated Fa Sipa's thoughts from the beginning, so he had already made various arrangements, including informing Xianjie one step in advance to let her stay in the Kaiping camp no matter what, because he knew that Kaiping would be the safest place.
This is also a helpless move, in front of Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba, how can they easily be trusted if they don't sacrifice, not to mention that there is a more shrewd beauty valley lord staring at him behind him.
"Okay! Since the national teacher is so worried about me, then do as you say, leave my wife in the Kaiping camp as a hostage, and I will go to Helin with you, but the national teacher must promise me one condition. Zong Zheng said, his tone was full of resentment, he wanted to make Fa Si Pa feel ashamed in the future, so that it would be easier to gain Fa Si Pa's trust.
"What conditions?" asked Fa Sipa,
Zong Zheng replied: "Once Kaiping is in danger of falling, I will also ask the national teacher to send elite soldiers to escort my wife out of the city first." ”
Fa Si Pa felt that this condition was reasonable, so he agreed to it.
Zong Zheng knew that at this time, the army had begun to mobilize, and if he returned to the Xianjie camp, it would inevitably arouse Fa Sipa's suspicions, which was why he had to rush to the Xianjie camp first, so he did not go to say goodbye to Xian Jie, and resolutely led the troops with Fa Siba to quietly detour to Helin.
Xianjie saw that Brother Zheng had not returned for a long time, she was very worried, remembering his advice, and did not dare to leave the camp, the last time in the Valley of Beauty, Brother Zheng was so hurried to say goodbye, and then almost separated by yin and yang, and now she is also in a hurry to say goodbye, Xianjie is very worried about the recurrence of the tragedy, and she can't help but be preoccupied, secretly praying and praying.
Ali Buge's vanguard army encountered an all-out ambush by Kublai Khan's elite main force five miles before Zhuolin Road, and was forced to retreat to camp thirty miles away, waiting for the follow-up army, and the vanguard marshal Hun Duhai immediately informed Ali Buge of the battle situation.
According to Zongzheng's strategy, after the elite main force ambushed Ali Buge's forward army, he immediately organized his troops to detour to Helin, so as to mislead Ali Buge and cover up his intention to attack Helin.
After the arrival of the battle situation of Hun Du Hai to Ali Buge, Ali Buge was very angry, and many things have not been going well recently, and after learning that Hun Duhai was ambushed by Kublai Khan's elite main force, he immediately realized that his camp was ambushed by spies.
When the attack plan was formulated, there were more than 1,000 generals to participate, and the vanguard army was to carry out the sneak attack military order, so the march was day and night, and Kublai Khan's army was already prepared, obviously not Kublai Khan's military scouts found out, but someone leaked this battle plan in advance.
