Kublai Khan asked Zongzheng, "What does it mean not to be in vain?"

"Dare to ask the Great Khan, what is most needed in the current situation in Mongolia?" Zong Zheng asked rhetorically.

Kublai Khan thought for a moment, as the supreme ruler of Mongolia, he naturally knew that Mongolia had just experienced civil strife and was temporarily unable to dominate the world, and what he needed most at the moment was to recuperate and stop fighting peacefully.

"Zong Zheng'an replied, you go on. Kublai Khan did not answer, but asked Zongzheng to continue.

Zong Zheng naturally understood Kublai Khan's thoughts, so he continued: "To be honest, a few days ago, I visited all the major factions in the Central Plains one by one, and I have tentatively proposed an agreement on peaceful coexistence. ”

Zong Zheng deliberately threw out the whereabouts of the various factions in the Central Plains, and he had already prepared, and the agreement he proposed for two years of peaceful coexistence was exactly what Mongolia needed.

Kublai Khan was already skeptical about the trip of Zongzheng's various factions in the Central Plains, and now that Zongzheng told the answer, he was still somewhat skeptical, but Zongzheng himself voluntarily said it, and what he said about the agreement in the next two years was true.

"National teacher, Xingtai, what do you think?" Kublai Khan turned to ask Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa what they meant.

Liu Bingzhong felt that according to the current situation, it was the best policy to let these people go, and to exchange these people for two years of peaceful coexistence.

Fa Si Pa also felt that what Zong Zheng said was very appropriate and far-sighted.

But this just made Kublai Khan uneasy, he knew very well in his heart that Zongzheng's suggestion was an absolute good policy, but he was more afraid of Zongzheng, Zongzheng was young, but he analyzed the situation in the world clearly, if Zongzheng was loyal to himself, he could reuse such a genius without scruples, but he was a person who could not distinguish between good and evil, even Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba agreed with his strategy, and his real intentions were not guessed, he was afraid that the tragedy of the Broken Intestine Valley would happen again.

In the battle of the Broken Intestine Valley, Kublai Khan felt that every strategy of Zongzheng was the most beneficial to Mongolia in the eyes of everyone, but there were often two results at the last moment, one result was to achieve the goal he wanted, and the other result was to achieve the goal he wanted at the same time, and also achieved the goal of Zongzheng.

Therefore, Zong Zheng hid it very deeply, and he vaguely felt that it was difficult to contain Zong Zheng with the talents of Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa.

The biggest difficulty is that you can't bear to kill such a person, because he is indeed a genius and can be of great use.

At this point, Kublai Khan thought of the three major plans for unifying the world that Zong Zheng mentioned that day, so he gave Fa Si Pa a look, and Fa Si Pa understood it.

"Great Khan, what Zongzheng said, I deeply admire Lord Xingtai, I am ashamed of the old minister, now I think about it, in fact, there is a matter of the old minister is guilty. Fa Siba suddenly sighed.

"Oh, what is the guilt of the national teacher?" Kublai Khan asked hypocritically.

"That day Zong Zheng first came to Lin, I tied it up, that day, he actually brought a unified world of the three major strategies to come, now see him mention today's Mongolian situation, suggestions so incisive and far-reaching, only to remember this matter, now think about it, with Zongzheng's talent, the three major strategies proposed must also be extremely unique, far-reaching, if it is because of the old minister and Zongzheng two things and delay him to put forward the three major strategies to unify the world, then the old minister is not too guilty. Fa Siba explained, but the feelings of sincerity and shame and self-reproach came from the bottom of his heart.

"The three major strategies to dominate the world? Why hasn't Ben Khan heard Zong Zheng'an mention it. Kublai Khan looked at Zongzheng with curiosity.

Zong Zheng also knows that they are also singing and acting, but sooner or later, these three major strategies will have to be said, and now that they have been mentioned, it doesn't hurt to say it.

"Yes, there was such a thing, I had some misunderstanding with the master at that time, so I didn't mention it. Zong Zheng replied stupidly.

"If the national teacher is negligent, Ben Khan will compensate on his behalf, in the final analysis, it is also Ben Khan's fault, and he failed to stop it in time, can you listen to the three major strategies in Ben Khan's face?" Kublai Khan sincerely asked.

Zong Zheng summed up the three major plans in his heart into a few refined words: "The so-called three major plans, the simple point is to settle the desert north, leave the Southern Song Dynasty, and return to recuperate." ”

"I want to hear about it. Zong Zheng's words were short, but they aroused his great interest.

"Let's talk about this and Dingmobei, although the Great Khan is officially in charge of Mongolia, but Ali Buge is still entrenched in Mobei, eyeing the Khan, Mongolia is not actually unified, the threat to the north still exists, the thorn is in the back, the bone is in the throat, presumably the taste is not good, the so-called want to hold the foreign enemy must first settle inside, before they can work together to resist the enemy, and directly send troops to the battle, both defeats and injuries, it is not the blessing of Mongolia, therefore, the Mobei should be taken to fight first, then divide, and finally the strategy. Zongzheng explained.

"How to fight, how to divide, how to make peace?" Liu Bingzhong asked.

"The Mobei forces are not as good as before, since the two battles of Helin and Broken Gut Valley, their current situation is also complicated, Ali Buge's control is not as good as before, the internal forces have been scattered, and now the reason why they are still willing to belong to Ali Buge's command is nothing more than illusions, there is bound to be a war, therefore, the Great Khan should strike first, in the name of exterminating the traitors to take the lead in attacking, the first battle is the first battle, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, a battle is decided, in this way, their inner illusions will inevitably be shaken, and then Ali Buge's tribes will also have different aspirations, or rebel or leave; , Brothers and Gathering. Zongzheng explained.

What Zong Zheng said, in one sentence, this middle point may have been thought about by Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa, but it is not so delicate and far-reaching.

Zong Zheng continued to analyze: " The first battle, I think with the talent of Lord Liu and the master will inevitably win a big victory, but I think, the key is how to separate the forces of Ali Buge, when dealing with Lin and Ali Buge, I know more or less about their internal relationship, I think Alu Hu is the key to the breakthrough, this person is dissatisfied with Ali Buge, and Lin was forced to flee north after the war, this person restricts his subordinates to have a law, and his subordinates are sincerely convinced, and now it is also very important in the entire force of Ali Buge, if he can be separated from Ali Buge, let him take the lead in making a choice, the rest of the tribes will naturally follow suit, after the war, I am willing to intervene in Ali Buge's camp as a pro-envoy to peace talks, persuaded him with my incorruptible tongue, since him, everything is a foregone conclusion, and the north is worry-free. ”

Kublai Khan didn't expect that Zong Zheng would know so much about Ali Buge's situation, let alone that Zong Zheng would be willing to enter the danger again to persuade Aruhu, you know, after the last battle with Lin, Zong Zheng's true identity and true purpose have already been exposed to Ali Buge.

Liu Bingzhong and Fa Si Pa also had a moment when they not only admired Zongzheng's intelligence, but also admired his courage, and never thought about why he was so dedicated to Mongolia.

It was just a moment of emotion and admiration, and soon, the three of them were suspicious again, why was Zong Zheng so confident, wasn't he worried that Brother Ali Buge would kill him at all? Or did he have another plan.

In the hearts of the three people, they had to secretly sigh that Zong Zheng analyzed and planned things far better than himself in terms of the overall situation or the details, and what he said was all moving.

The silence and expressiveness of the three of them made Zongzheng feel something, and he seemed to smell the suspicion, so he continued.

"If this plan is carried out, the north will be settled, and the Mongols will be truly unified, of course, I will only have a superficial view, if the Great Khan feels that it cannot be implemented or the results may not be good, since I have never mentioned it. ”

"No, don't misunderstand, Ben Khan thinks that what Zong Zheng'an said is to the point, Ben Khan has a word from you, it is worse than using 100,000 soldiers, but you mentioned that you are going to make you an envoy, you know that it is very dangerous, and Ben Khan really doesn't want you to take this risk. Kublai Khan explained that he may also be wary of Zongzheng in his heart, so as to test Zongzheng's intentions!

Zong Zheng immediately responded: "No, this matter must be my go, the success or failure of this link is the most critical, if you send someone who is not strong, I am afraid it will be counterproductive, although Lord Liu and the master are extraordinarily intelligent, but they and Ali Buge are too prejudiced, the two are good at military strategy, but in the matter of mediation, I ask myself to be more sure than the two of them, and I hope that the Great Khan will think twice for the sake of the Mongolian plan." ”

Kublai Khan still hesitated, not daring to immediately accept the righteousness, but changed the topic. "I'll talk about this later, let's talk about your second plan, what's going on with the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Zong Zheng saw that Kublai Khan was suspicious, and blindly competing would only increase his suspicions, so he thought that he would find a way to force him to make a decision in the future, but this matter was not in a hurry, so he explained this second plan.

"Mongolia and Song have been fighting for a long time, both sides have suffered countless casualties, however, there is no substantial progress, in the final analysis, the strength of the two sides is equal, no one can eat whom, has the Great Khan ever thought about it, war is indeed an inevitable means to unify the world, but there is no other means to be clever, that is, the opponent will gradually collapse without using troops, and the strength will be greatly consumed. ”

Zong Zheng's words cut straight to the situation of the unsuccessful war in Mongolia for many years, and also put forward a new idea of destroying the Song Dynasty.

Zong Zheng continued: "The most critical support for the strength of a country is the economic and financial resources, as well as the military strength, plus the people's heart, these three countries are also dependent, so if you want to weaken the opponent, you must naturally start from these three aspects, and you must let it weaken itself, so the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty are consumed, the military resources of the Great Song Dynasty are separated, the financial resources and military strength are slack, and the people's hearts for the monarch are also lost." ，”

"Then how to get rid of consumption?" Liu Bingzhong asked excitedly, he was particularly pleased with the point put forward by Zong Zheng.
