Chapter 240: The Invincible Spy (6)
Liu Bingzhong asked how Zong Zheng left the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zong Zheng continued to explain in detail.
"Then I will start with the economy and finance of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty's own official system is redundant, which has deepened the financial consumption, and the most effective means to hit the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty and deviate from the people's will is to hollow out the treasury. ”
"We all understand what you said, but how to hollow out the treasury of the Southern Song Dynasty?" asked Fa Sipa.
"I think there is a person Lord Liu who should be very familiar with, and now that this person has paid homage to the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, can this chess piece be used easily?" Zong Zheng looked at Liu Bingzhong.
"Zongzheng, what do you want me to do?" asked Liu Bingzhong,
"It's very simple, both internally and externally, let Jia Rudao find someone to control the financial affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty, vigorously suppress those talented civil servants, and put pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty to pay tribute. ”
In this way, there are ministers in charge of the road, but there is no strong will to resist the enemy outside, and the people's will is also lost. Liu Bingzhong echoed.
"Yes, Lord Liu said it in one word. Zong Zheng gave Liu Bingzhong a look, full of admiration for Lord Liu's wisdom when he saw it.
"What about the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty?" Kublai Khan asked
"The military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty is used to separate, Mongolia and Song Dynasty have been fighting for decades, can the Great Khan have found that the Great Song Dynasty has no shortage of loyal and courageous, but shrewd and capable generals, and these generals control the Central Plains Town, the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, so, he Mongolia goes south, these generals are bound to be the biggest obstacle in Mongolia, but if we cooperate with Jia Nidao to suppress and eliminate these generals one by one, then the Southern Song Dynasty is like losing the protection of the city wall, and the army will go south, it will be unstoppable, this time the battle of the Broken Intestine Valley, Cao Shixiong, Xiang Shibi, and the evidence of the Gundam private transfer of troops I have mastered, Lord Liu can give Jia Nidao a use, in addition, I have a list of important generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, and how to suppress their plan, I can deliver the Great Khan, according to this plan, in less than two years, the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty is not worth mentioning. Zong Zheng took out a book from his arms, and he thought that he had been laying out for a long time.
Liu Bingzhong stepped forward to take the book, skimmed it and presented it to Kublai Khan.
"Zongzheng's talent is unfathomable, in the overall situation, in the details, in the current situation, in the long-term picture, all of which are profound and mysterious. Liu Bingzhong couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
"However, the extent to which this plan will work requires another assistance, and with this assistance, he will be sure that he will succeed in one fell swoop when the Great Khan goes south. Zong Zheng was firm in his words, as if he was in his chest.
Say. Kublai Khan got up and asked, which shows that after listening to what Zongzheng said, Kublai Khan was already moved.
"This matter can only be said to be with the Great Khan, and it is about the eyes and ears of Mongolia in the Southern Song Dynasty, and I will discuss it with the Great Khan in detail later. "Zongzheng didn't explicitly say the Valley of Beauty, and it stopped at the point, but Kublai Khan was very clear.
"As for the third plan, self-recuperation, it is talking about Mongolia itself, Mongolia has just experienced civil strife, its vitality has been greatly damaged, and the Great Khan should not raise troops again, but should make great efforts to govern the country, recuperate with the people, and wait for a good opportunity. Since then, Zong Zheng's three major plans have all been finished, and he has returned to silence.
The whole hall was full of four people, and the four of them didn't say a word, Kublai Khan pondered for a moment, and then turned to Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa and said,
"Xingtai, national teacher, you two step aside for the time being. Kublai Khan threw them back, and they got up and left, waiting outside the palace.
After the two left, Kublai Khan asked about Zongzheng's unfinished assistance plan, and he continued: "Great Khan, you must already know what I mean by assistance. ”
"Are you talking about the Valley of Beauty?" Kublai Khan's expression was a little serious, after all, this was one of Mongolia's top secrets.
"Yes, the assistance I am talking about is to let the Beauty Valley get the defense map of the important town of the Southern Song Dynasty, I believe that for the Beauty Valley, this is not a difficult matter, and the importance of it, the Great Khan must also be clear. Zong Zheng reminded.
Zongzheng's intentions are clear without thinking, and he doesn't want to let the Beauty Valley be idle, at least proposing this plan can distract him, which is also the beginning of Zongzheng's reverse infiltration of Kublai Khan.
"I have my own arrangements for this matter, today I heard that Zong Zheng'an answered the three major strategies, Ben Khan suddenly enlightened, I didn't expect that you are young, you are so transparent about the current situation and war, and your suggestions are to the point, you can help me, it is really a blessing for Mongolia. Kublai Khan's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew very well that Zongzheng's three major strategies, one is to secure the interior, the other is to weaken the enemy, and the third is to strengthen oneself, with clear focus and effective implementation.
"These three plans are my humble opinion, whether they will be effective, it is not yet known, whether they will be implemented or not, the power lies in the Great Khan, where there is a need to use me, the Great Khan can speak. Zong Zheng responded modestly.
"It's late at night, and Zong Zheng'an has worked hard, let's go back and rest early!" Kublai Khan seemed to have something on his mind, and there was no joy on his face.
Zong Zheng seemed to see something, he slowly retreated, and suddenly turned around and stepped forward to Kublai Khan and said, "Great Khan, there is something I don't know if I should say. ”
Kublai Khan was slightly surprised by Zongzheng's move, and when he saw Zongzheng's solemn face, he asked with concern: "What's the matter?" ”
Zong Zheng only said solemnly: "Beware of the beauty valley master." Then he left straight away, Kublai Khan wanted to ask about the situation, but it was too late.
Although it is a simple sentence, it is the most powerful sentence, and it can only be such a short sentence, and saying more has the opposite effect, Zong is trying to pierce a thorn in the heart of Kublai Khan of the beauty valley lord, and this is just the beginning.
Kublai Khan looked at the back of Zong Zheng leaving the main hall, and carefully thought about Zong Zheng's words, he himself was a little messy.
Thinking about it carefully, he really doesn't know anything about the valley lord of the Beauty Valley, and he has never dealt with it, what does Zong Zheng mean by this, does Zong Zheng know some of the hidden secrets of the Beauty Valley, and he is forced to say it easily due to some pressure or threat, Kublai Khan pondered carefully.
Three days later, Ali Buge attacked Yesun Ge, the situation was exactly the same as Zongzheng expected, Kublai Khan immediately made a decision, released the Central Plains martial arts people, and Zongzheng dealt with the two-year agreement between the factions.
Subsequently, Kublai Khan took Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba to lead his troops north in the name of exterminating the traitors.
Zong Zheng had made arrangements in advance, so the coordination of the affairs of the various sects was handled quite smoothly, and the war in the north was still going on, so Zong Zheng thought about taking the time to go to Hongchang Heaven and Earth with Venerable Tuyuan, the place where Venerable Wuyuan practiced.
Next, he has to deal with the Four Yuan Venerable, and the response of the Four Yuan Venerable is directly related to the success or failure of Zongzheng in dealing with the Beauty Valley Lord, so he wants to go to the Hongchang Heaven and Earth and strive to be more secure.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Beauty Valley, Zongzheng and Tuyuan Venerable walked day and night, walking along the mountain and forest paths.
When he arrived at the entrance of the rainbow field heaven and earth, Venerable Tuyuan strictly followed the teacher's instructions and did not dare to bring Zong Zheng into it again, so Zong Zheng followed the path to the mountain.
Hongchang Tiandi is actually a high mountain and a heavenly pool, a secret place for cultivation, and sure enough, the green trees are surrounded by greenery, and the white pond is surrounded by clear and clear water; Zong Zheng can't help but think of the Pangu peaks, and the two styles are very different.
According to the description of Venerable Tu Yuan, Zong Zheng opened the Taiji Gate and entered the Taiji Room, a secret place that had been sealed for a long time.
He stayed in the Tai Chi room for three hours, and the grain of rice did not enter until dusk and night, when he could enter and exit the entrance to meet the Tuyuan Venerable.
Venerable Tu Yuan asked Zong Zheng what major discoveries he made, Zong Zheng did not speak, but just said the plan in his heart, Wan hoped that Venerable Tu Yuan cooperated, and Venerable Tu Yuan was a little shocked after listening to Zong Zheng's plan, and he never dared to agree.
Zong Zhengze knelt down and begged: "Senior Tuyuan, you must do this, otherwise I will only have a dead end, and I can't deal with your four senior brothers with your own strength, this is the only way, otherwise my carefully planned chess game will be lost." ”
Venerable Tu Yuan wanted to help Zong Zheng, but Zong Zheng couldn't afford to live, "If the seniors don't agree, I might as well kneel and die here." ”
Zong Zheng is determined, bent on going that way, Tu Yuan Venerable carefully thought about the next Zong Zheng's strategy, such a situation can only be dangerous to have a chance to win, he also knows that if he doesn't do this, Zong Zheng may really have only a dead end, and if he does this, he may be able to save his life, so he agreed.
Zong Zheng saw that the Venerable Tu Yuan agreed, and his heart was at ease, and the two returned to Helin again, but the Venerable Tu Yuan was still on the periphery and did not show up.
After three months of northern expedition, Kublai Khan, with the assistance of Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa, defeated Ali Buge in Tumu Xinao with heavy tactics, minimizing the casualties within the Mongol army.
However, because of the tactics of minimizing casualties, Ali Buge retained his military strength and was still a big threat, so Zongzheng's separation plan was imperative.
Therefore, Kublai Khan took advantage of the situation to send Ali Buge under the banner of persuasion of peace.
When the battle situation was first decided, Kublai Khan, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa knew this, but they had not yet agreed on the candidate for the envoy, and the three of them were still guarding against Zongzheng.
Zong Zheng naturally knew this, he expected that Kublai Khan would not send Liu Bingzhong and Fa Si Pa to go, nor would he send himself, sure enough, Kublai Khan finally sent a powerful secret envoy to go, but unfortunately, not long after entering the military camp, he received the head sent back by Ali Buge.
