Zong Zheng said that the situation he set up could kill three birds with one stone and help Kublai Khan solve all problems in one fell swoop. After hearing this, Kublai Khan asked curiously, "How can you kill three birds with one stone?"

At present, Zongzheng already knew Kublai Khan's strategic intentions, so he was clear about his worries, so he said frankly,

"The king's current predicament is nothing more than three, the existence of the killer, like a fish in the throat, not only threatens the king's life at all times, restraining the king's actions, but also, the king is also worried that the division of troops to the north will be seen through by them, ruining the plan; this is the king's first dilemma. After Zong Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan did not have too many doubts, and the two of them really knew this matter.

Zong Zheng continued: "There is a potential enemy in the north, the opportunity is fleeting, it is inevitable to divide the troops to the north, and it is also an imminent matter, however, the king is worried that when the army is divided, the Song army will take advantage of the situation to attack the camp, and the battle in the north is a quick battle, the king must send elite soldiers, once the Song army attacks the camp, the king may be difficult to support, this is the second dilemma of the king." ”

After hearing this, Kublai Khan's eyes rolled slightly, and he said in a disdainful tone: "Even if the troops are divided, why should I take the remaining soldiers and horses to fear the attack of the Song army." ”

Zong Zheng didn't understand the relationship between the Central Plains martial arts and the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally he didn't know the enmity between the Central Plains martial arts and Mongolia, and he didn't know that there were already a large number of martial arts masters waiting for him on the periphery. When Kublai Khan saw a large number of people and horses gathered in the Central Plains martial arts, he mistakenly thought that he was here to support the Ezhou war, so he was worried.

Seeing that Kublai Khan was disdainful, the expression on his face hinted that he was indeed worried, so he thought that there might be other threats to force Kublai Khan.

After the two were silent for a while, Kublai Khan spoke again,

"Go on! The second trouble, the king admits that it exists, but you only say half of it. ”

Zong Zheng did not continue to say Kublai Khan's third trouble, but asked Kublai Khan: "Please also ask the prince to inform the remaining half, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be some omissions and omissions in the bureau I have set up." ”

Kublai Khan thought that what Zongzheng said was also reasonable, and he knew the key to the plot well after commanding countless battles, so he replied to Zongzheng: "According to the report from the spies, a large number of people and horses in the Central Plains Wulin have gathered in Ezhou, and I am worried that they will be unfavorable to our army. ”

Zong Zheng was still puzzled by what Kublai Khan said at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that the people of the Central Plains Wulin were Han after all, belonging to the Song realm, and naturally they were hostile to the Mongols.

Thinking of this, Zong Zheng couldn't help but be a little confused, he is also a Han Chinese, but he has always had no sense of belonging, and now he is helping the Mongolians, thinking about it, Zong Zheng is more and more confused, the world is so big, the feeling of no return pervades the body and mind, and there is a chill everywhere.

"Let's talk about the king's third dilemma!" Kublai Khan asked,

Zong Zheng came back to his senses from his thoughts and continued to reply: "Since the king wants to divide his troops to the north, the movement of large troops will naturally attract the attention of the Song army and the enemy defending in the north, so it will not only be easy to be attacked by the Song army, but also affect the effect of the sneak attack in the north. This is the king's third dilemma. ”

After listening to the three dilemmas that Zong Zheng said, Kublai Khan looked at Zong Zheng, and couldn't help but be more curious about Zong Zheng's identity.

"Since Mei Shaoxia knows the concerns in the heart of this king, I wonder if the situation you have set up can really help this king get out of all the difficulties?" Kublai Khan felt that since Zong Zheng could see through the concerns in his heart, he must have thought of a way to deal with it, so he asked tentatively.

"There are more variables, the king will give me another day, and I will be able to set up a more subtle game tomorrow night. Zong Zheng has not yet seen through the affairs of the various factions in the martial arts, so he did not dare to say that the plan is feasible, out of prudent considerations, thinking that it would be better to polish it carefully, so he asked Kublai Khan for an extra day.

The division of troops to the north was imminent, Kublai Khan was anxious, and wanted to take a risk, but now Zong Zheng proposed that there was a feasible strategy, and if he could avoid danger for one more day, it would be worth it, so Kublai Khan nodded and agreed.

Blowing the cool wind, Kublai Khan's strength soon passed, and he became a little tired, thinking that everything had been discussed properly, and tonight would be considered a good gain, so he returned to the camp to rest with peace of mind.

In the vast sky, only a cold moon hangs high in the sky, pouring clear light.

Zong Zheng returned to the camp, without any sleep, with a lot of worries and questions, which was really uncomfortable.

Careful investigation, Zong Zheng has been out of the fairy forest for nearly a year, and what happened in the past year has made Zong Zheng feel at a loss and chaos, standing in heaven and earth, whether it is Song or Mongolia, it seems that he does not belong to himself;

Finally met Xianjie, but the two of them were poisonous, in order to get rid of the control of the Beauty Valley, the whole body retreated, Zongzheng helplessly did things against his will, he couldn't help himself, and the restraint was quite tight;

Just now, Kublai Khan asked about his relatives, which made Zongzheng think of the death of his father and brother, and a flame of searching for the truth of the year ignited in his heart.

Out of the Valley of Beauty, he was inexplicably chased and killed continuously, and more and more sects were involved, Zong Zheng did not know at all, what grievances these martial arts people had with him, for these martial arts people, Zong Zheng knew nothing about them, and he didn't know what kind of situation he was in;

In order to get rid of the control of the Valley of Beauty, obtain the antidote, and retreat, Zongzheng had to win the trust of Kublai Khan and give him advice, but now he is in a dilemma.

For the Song army, for the Mongolian army, for the martial arts people, Zong Zheng was ignorant, and he did not distinguish between right and wrong in his heart, saving General Wang Jian, planning to deal with Meng Ge, saving Kublai Khan, and helping him deal with the Song army, all of which made Zongzheng lose his purpose; this is the chaos of Zongzheng.

For a while, a sense of confusion, confusion, distress, helplessness, doubt, and chaos surged into his heart, mixed with thoughts of Xianjie, Zong Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, full of sadness.

Outside the tent, the moon shines, and it can't shine into Zongzheng's heart that has been filled with sorrow, Zongzheng has stood in the tent for a long time, and he doesn't know when he can rest tonight and when he can start tomorrow.

Zong Zheng's mind is disordered, and nowadays, the entire Ezhou City, and even the whole world, are not in chaos.

After the martial arts representatives of the major gangs such as the Zongjian faction, the Shaolin faction, the Bliss faction, the Vientiane faction and the beggar gang gathered in Ezhou City, they saw that Zongzheng had been in Kublai Khan's camp, so they had no chance to attack him, only to wait patiently for the opportunity.

After confirming that Kublai Khan was safe, the Eight Wolves of Zhongshan were quite satisfied with Zongzheng's performance, reporting the progress to the Valley of Beauty, and secretly monitoring Zongzheng and protecting Kublai Khan on the other hand, without any major moves.

After knowing that Kublai Khan had recovered from poisoning, the five killers of Juxian Pavilion were quite uneasy and had been waiting for the opportunity to plan the next assassination.

Kublai Khan since the beginning of September after the victory of the Fourth Water Battle into the siege of Ezhou, has been attacking Ezhou, in the first mover advantage, the Song army to defend the city commander Jia Yidao on the one hand to defend the city, on the other hand to control the remaining two roads in the middle of the road to come reinforcements.

Taking advantage of Kublai Khan's onslaught on Ezhou, Ali Buge stepped up his covert deployment of troops against Kaiping and Yanjing, in an attempt to completely cut off Kublai Khan's northern base camp.

Kublai Khan, on the one hand, confronted the Song army at Ezhou City, and on the other hand, planned to divide his troops to the north, intending to raid Kaiping and Yanjing and stabilize the northern base camp.

For a while, whether it was the war situation or the situation between the martial arts, they all fell into an extremely chaotic state, and the forces of the six parties, whether it was the imperial court forces or the forces of the rivers and lakes, regardless of the size of the forces, seemed to have an incalculable effect on the entire pattern, like throwing a stone at the silent lake, and the ripples that spread could push to every corner of the lake, and Zong Zheng was in a very delicate situation in the six directions.

When Zong Zheng was worried, a sharp arrow suddenly dodged the guards, shot through the tent cloth, and shot straight towards Zong Zheng's side, Zong Zheng caught it with his hand, thinking that this arrow did not cost his own life, and the person who sent the arrow was able to evade the guards, the strength was so accurate, it was estimated that it must be the person of the eight wolves of Zhongshan.

Zong Zheng took a closer look at the arrow, there was obviously a crack in the body of the arrow, Zong Zheng rotated the arrow body, and then divided the arrow body into two halves, it turned out that the arrow body was hollow.

Zong Zheng took out a rolled note from the body of the arrow, opened it and looked at it, it read: "The Central Plains martial arts gathered, with the intention of punishing you, so that you can do it yourself, don't delay the task!"

After the Zhongshan Eight Wolves truthfully reported the two attacks of Zongzheng by the Central Plains martial arts people to the beauty valley owner, the valley owner ordered the Zhongshan Eight Wolves to secretly investigate the reason why Zong Zheng was intercepted and killed.

After the eight wolves of Zhongshan got the news, they were afraid that Zongzheng would have to worry about his life, so as to delay the task of protecting Kublai Khan, so he thought about quickly delivering the news to Zongzheng, the second child was the most powerful, and at the dinner time, he came to the camp where Zongzheng lived unknowingly, but after the dinner, Zongzheng accompanied Kublai Khan to enjoy the moon and chatted, so when Zongzheng returned to the camp, the second child got the opportunity to pass the news to Zongzheng.

After Zong Zheng got the news, he was a little indignant, and he was full of doubts, he didn't understand why the people in the martial arts wanted to punish him together, if he said that he helped the Mongols, and the Central Plains martial arts and the Mongols were incompatible, it would make sense. However, he also helped General Wang Jian, and even planned to destroy the grain and grass of the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge, if you talk about this grievance, it is also a meritorious deed, why is the Central Plains martial arts so hateful and angry, gathered in Ezhou to punish me.

Zong Zheng was puzzled, and suddenly thought, will it be related to his true identity, tonight Kublai Khan mentioned his relatives, Zong Zheng inevitably thought of his father again, his mother's dying letter confessed to burn the letter and change his name, thinking that I was afraid that my true identity would bring a lot of rights and wrongs to himself, thinking of this, Zong Zheng couldn't help but be curious about his father, and wanted to figure out the truth more and more.
