As soon as Zong Zheng's words came out, the generals were full of doubts and surprises, and Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba were also full of curiosity and expectation.

"Zongzheng, what do you mean by that?" Kublai Khan asked,

Zong Zheng replied: "Nowadays, the strength of the two armies is compared, the generals know it in their hearts, I don't need to say more, this battle belongs to the Mongolian internal fighting, from what Liu Xingtai said, he and the Great Khan don't want the two armies to have too many casualties, because this is the internal friction of Mongolia, so Liu Xingtai chose the strategy of winning by surprise tactics, but in my opinion, this is just a temporary method for soldiers to block, water to cover the earth, to solve it from the root, you must be ruthless and dare to abandon everything." ”

After Zong Zheng finished speaking, he looked at everyone, even Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa, who have always been smart, did not guess what Zong Zheng wanted to express, but just looked forward to him continuing to explain.

Zong Zheng didn't play dumb riddles either, and continued to explain: "Since Liu Xingtai said that he wanted to gamble, it would be better to bet on a big one. At this point, Zong Zheng suddenly turned to Kublai Khan and said, "I don't know if the Great Khan dares to gamble?"

Kublai Khan didn't know what Zongzheng meant, and asked, "What are you betting on?"

Zong Zheng explained: "Gambling on the fortune of the country, winning is the end of the war, a small amount of death and consumption of Mongolia in exchange for the future of the thriving national fortune, losing is the loss of the world in the first war, the national power falls, Mongolia is unknown!"

"How to gamble?" Kublai Khan continued to ask, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba looking forward to it.

Zong Zheng pointed to Helin on the map and explained: "Since Ali Buge raised 200,000 troops to Kaiping, presumably Helin's defense must be empty, if you pretend to leave a strong army to resist desperately in the key fortress of Zhuolin Dao and tempt the enemy, the Great Khan will send all the cavalry to quickly go north to Helin." When Zong Zheng said this, he suddenly stopped and was silent.

Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba suddenly understood Zongzheng's intentions, neither of them had thought of this kind of strategy, because this was a big gamble, as Zongzheng said, if the bet was won, the battle would be decided, and the bet would be lost, and the world would be lost.

Kublai Khan said with a cold face: "Zongzheng, you go on!"

Zong Zhengze continued under the expectant and curious eyes of everyone: "I just said that it is a gamble, so since it is a gamble, there will be three situations, win, draw and lose, the first situation, the Great Khan takes Kaiping as a bet, Kaiping falls, our army will lose the base camp, and it will be able to break the cauldron and take this opportunity to attack in the direction of Helin, if it takes Helin, then Ali Buge occupies Kaiping, and the Great Khan occupies Helin, so it is a draw, but it is not a draw, but a win!"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Kublai Khan.

Zongzheng explained: " On the surface, it seems to be the displacement of the base camp, but the Great Khan can know that Helin is the gathering place of the northern clans, and Ali Buge is relying on these people to succeed, if the Great Khan occupies Helin, it is not equivalent to cutting off the foundation of Ali Buge's development, on the other hand, Kaiping, closer to the Han land, the Great Khan has been operating there for many years, and has won the hearts of the people, and the people there not only do not accept Ali Buge's control, but they will also rebel if they don't get it, I know that the Great Khan is quite powerful in the southern Han land, and at that time he will order people to raise troops from the south, and the Great Khan will lead the troops from the north to the north, and the north and south will attack Ali Buge, how can he be undefeated。 ”

Zong Zheng's words were to the point, Kublai Khan deeply agreed, and there was no objection, but Fa Sipa and Liu Bingzhong continued to remain silent, standing aside and listening carefully.

"Of course, if the Great Khan successfully takes Helin, and Zhuo Lindao resists Ali Buge's attack, and then the Great Khan sends troops from Helin, then Ali Buge will be defeated by the enemy on his back and will definitely be defeated with one blow, and the Great Khan will win a big victory, this is a victory!" Zong Zheng continued,

At this point, even if Zongzheng doesn't say anything about the victory and defeat, Kublai Khan also has some foreknowledge, it is nothing more than the loss of Kaiping, and the failure of Helin to win, panic like a lost dog, therefore, I can't help but worry about the defeat,

Zong Zheng looked at Kublai Khan, and continued with a very calm face: "I don't need to say much about the defeat, you all know it. ”

Everyone looked at each other, Zong Zheng had already won, the draw and the defeat were all said clearly, this was indeed a gamble, and it was a big gamble, a commander was not good at harming the three armies, Kublai Khan hesitated in his heart, he never thought of such a risky approach.

The wise Liu Bingzhong immediately discovered the loophole, so he stepped forward and pointed out: "Zongzheng, I'm afraid there is another situation in this kind of gambling method!"

Since Zong Zheng had such a bold idea, he naturally thought about it after some careful consideration, he knew that the wise Liu Bingzhong would definitely point out the loopholes, so he thought about the answer in advance, and when he heard Liu Bingzhong's question, he did not show any signs of surprise and panic, but praised Liu Bingzhong and said,

"Lord Xingtai is really a master, I know the other situation you said, you can rest assured, once Brother Ali Buge transfers the army back to defend Helin in time, it will not just be the right time to relieve the siege of Kaiping, but you can take advantage of Brother Ali Buge's nervousness, wait for work, and set up an ambush near Helin. ”

Liu Bingzhong saw that Zong Zheng had already thought about it and what he said was very reasonable, so he stopped asking.

"Lord Xingtai, the national teacher, and the generals, what do you think of Zongzheng's strategy?" Kublai Khan was unable to decide, he wanted to ask his think tank for the opinion of the mind before making a decision, and he first looked at Fa Sipa.

Fa Sipa finally opened his mouth in silence, he said: "Zongzheng's idea is very bold, but, I have to admit that this is also a shortcut, any shortcut will naturally carry risks, as Zongzheng said, this is a gamble, gambling is the national fortune of the whole Mongolia, if it is my idea, I am willing to take the safe method as the top, and do my best to defend, after all, this idea is too greedy." ”

At this moment, his heart is still very worried, his attitude towards Zong Zheng is still not very clear, and he doesn't know what Zong Zheng is thinking, whether he has figured it out and is willing to cooperate? Or does he have his own deep thoughts, which contain traps, all of which are unknowns and carry huge risks, so he does not support them for the time being.

Liu Bingzhong, on the other hand, held another point of view, but supported Zongzheng's opinion, because he saw the hope that Zongzheng said, although this idea was bold, but it also happened to have the effect of attacking the enemy before defense and surprise attack, so he admonished,

"'Soldiers, treacherous. At present, there is a gap in the strength of the two armies, Ali Buge will naturally think that our army will try its best to defend Kaiping, for him, he would never have imagined that we would put down Kaiping and go straight to Helin, and go deep into his rear. ”

Liu Bingzhong emphasized the effect of the raid, which gave Kublai Khan some confidence.

At this time, a scout suddenly came to report to the camp tent, saying that the other party's vanguard army had approached Zhuo Lin Dao.

Kublai Khan knew that he had to be bold and courageous, he gritted his teeth, thinking that since Zongzheng was a person who could dominate the general trend of the world, maybe his idea could really have an unexpected effect, so he immediately decided to implement it according to Zongzheng's words.

Seeing Kublai Khan's resolute appearance, the generals no longer dissuaded, Liu Bingzhong seemed to be looking forward to it, while Fa Siba was always a little faintly worried, but he didn't think of Zongzheng's scheming for the time being, and what he said did have a great possibility of changing the current battle situation.

He knew that once the strategy was carried out according to Zongzheng's words, Mongolia's internal strife would definitely end several years early, and the loss of national strength would be minimal.

Seeing that Fa Sipa was worried, Kublai Khan did not completely dispel his worries, so he added in front of everyone: "Zong Zheng sincerely thanks the Great Khan for his trust, I am willing to advance and retreat with the army, and if I unfortunately fall into defeat, I am willing to compensate for my sins!"

Zong Zheng had already said that to this point, and after some weighing, and seeing that Kublai Khan had decided to support Zong Zheng, it was difficult to continue to dissuade him, and he only wanted to pay attention to Zong Zheng with many eyes and carefully guess his intentions. So he should accept Kublai Khan's words,

"Since the Great Khan has made up his mind, we will definitely do our best to promote the victory, please rest assured, but now that Ali Buge's striker is approaching, how should we deal with it?"

Kublai Khan replied with a worried face: "It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable against his vanguard army! ”

The reason why Kublai Khan said this is because he is well aware of Ali Buge's fighting style, and the strikers must be elite and brave men, and looking at the speed of their movement, he has already guessed that his combat style has not changed.

Subsequently, Kublai Khan decided on a plan to capture Helin under the joint consultation of a group of generals and Zongzheng, and was determined to gamble freely.

The situation was urgent, Kublai Khan immediately dispatched his troops, and ordered the elite main force to take the cavalry as the vanguard, bypassing Ali Buge's marching route and quickly reaching Holin.

Due to the transfer of the main force, Kaiping was in a critical situation, and there was a possibility of being captured by Ali Buge at any time, so Kublai Khan chose to go north with the army, and the royal expedition could also boost morale, and if he unfortunately suffered a defeat, he could also die with his own soldiers.

In order to escape the exploration of Ali Buge's detectives, Kublai Khan ordered that the number of camps and stoves in each battalion should not be reduced, and the soldiers on duty were changed from three to two, wanting to come up with an empty city plan for the opponent.

Zong Zheng knew that this was an opportunity to win the trust of Kublai Khan, so he didn't want to miss it, and after Kublai Khan decided to use Zong Zheng's strategy and hurriedly discussed the way to march and deploy troops, the incident happened suddenly, and Zong Zheng hurriedly went to Xianjie's camp, because he had something to hand over to Xianjie.
