Zongzheng said that he was thinking of a way to burn the grain and grass without spending a single soldier.

Zhang Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Don't you need to destroy the enemy's grain and grass materials with a single soldier?" A trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he looked directly at Zong Zheng.

Zong Zheng replied truthfully: "That's right. "My eyes don't flicker, and I think I'm a little sure.

Zhang Yu and the generals couldn't help but be amazed by what Zong Zheng said, it was impossible to burn the enemy's grain and grass, and it would not cost a single soldier to speak in vain.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but quip: "Brother Mei usually doesn't say a word, but he can't think of it, but it's amazing." ”

Li Zizhang also agreed, shook his head and said: "Impossible, there is absolutely no possibility!"

Although Zhang Yu, Wang Anjie and Zhu Quanyi didn't believe it either, they felt that this was a fantasy, but after Zongzheng showed that his martial arts saved General Wang's life, they didn't dare to despise the young man in front of them, so they didn't say anything joking, just kept silent.

Zong Zheng thought of a passage in "Raiders of the Wounded City", and involuntarily said:

"The way to use soldiers is to make good use of the time, place, and people. Martial arts against martial arts is not the wisdom of the strategy, with wisdom against martial arts, although the force is insufficient, but also can win more than enough, the wisdom of the great turn all things into strange soldiers, in fact, there are no soldiers, and the chest has thousands of horses. ”

After hearing this, everyone felt that Mei Yong's words had won the guidance of the soldiers, and they were suddenly impressed by him.

Zhang Yu is a veteran, what Zong Zheng said is the essence of the military family summarized by the 'emperor' family, how can he not taste the essence of it, and he can't help but admire it secretly.

Unexpectedly, Brother Mei is not only strong in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war and strategy, Zhang Yu admires. ”

"Brother Zhang, you have an overreputation, you give me a day, and I will come up with a way to burn the Mongolian army's grain and grass as soon as possible. Zong Zheng replied with a humble face and a little confidence,

When Zhang Yu saw Zong Zheng's confident appearance, his heart was full of surprise and expectation, but he no longer felt that Zong Zheng seemed to be joking. And he said,

"Well, we'll be here tomorrow and listen to your plans. ”

Zong Zheng was afraid that the inspiration that he had just flashed would disappear, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

"Then I'll go back to my room and think about it first, and I'll say goodbye first. With that, he turned around and went back to his room.

Zhang Yu and the others looked at each other, looking at the back of Zong Zheng's departure, as if they had a dream, and they all secretly hoped that the good dream would come true, instead of having a dream of Nanke.

After Zong Zheng returned to the room, he thought carefully: "It's about to be May, and at this time, the Mongolian army camp is just in a tailwind place, which coincides with the wind direction described in the "Wounded City Raiders", but what is this wind-riding thing?"

Zong Zheng thought about this question until late at night, but he still had no clue, and he fell asleep after thinking about it.

The next day, it was Wang Dechen's turn and Aktai to lead the troops to attack, and Zhang Yu and others repelled the enemy's many attacks after fighting hard and with great difficulty, but they felt more and more struggling, especially in the mobilization of troops, they already felt overstretched.

The war was in full swing over there, but Zong Zheng got up early in the morning and continued to think about the 'things in the sky', as if he was not affected by the war in the slightest, and his mind was calm.

By nightfall, the Mongols retreated. Zongzheng still hasn't come up with anything to ride the wind. It was getting closer and closer to the agreed time, but he was not anxious and flustered, but sat on the steps, blowing a gentle breeze, looking at the starry sky overhead.

It was night, according to what was said yesterday, everyone gathered in the inner hall to hear Zongzheng's wonderful plan.

Everyone has already arrived, and it will be time soon, but Zong Zheng still hasn't shown up, and everyone can't help but speculate in their hearts, feeling that Zong Zheng has amplified his words too much, and he is embarrassed to stop showing up.

Zhang Yu was still calm and calm, Wang Anjie stared at the empty chair, never thought that Zong Zheng would escape because he couldn't think of a way, but just wondered what Zong Zheng would do.

Just when everyone was about to wait any longer, Zong Zheng walked in from the courtyard outside the hall, and the moonlight quietly sprinkled on this heroic young man, he walked into the hall quietly and calmly, and sat down gently.

When Zhang Yu saw that everyone was here, he asked Zong Zhengdao: "Brother Mei has come up with a clever plan?"

Everyone looked at Zongzheng in unison, and they wanted to feast their ears and open their eyes.

Zong Zheng said politely: "I don't dare to be a clever strategy, it's just a clumsy plan, in fact, I just thought of it, so I'm really embarrassed to make you wait for a long time!"

Zhang Yu said anxiously: "Brother Mei, just say it, I really want to know if there is really a clever plan in this world to destroy the enemy's grain and grass without a single soldier." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were urgent, Zong Zheng didn't sell anything, and said directly: " At this time, the Mongolian army is in the direction of the wind, according to our five miles away, we make thousands of large Kong Ming lanterns, tie an altar under the lamp, the altar is filled with fuel, use a wire rope to connect the fuel in the altar and the candle flame base in the Kong Ming lantern, calculate the amount of candles consumed, and wait until the Kong Ming lantern flies to the enemy's sky will naturally be extinguished, before extinguishing, the rope of the candle base will automatically ignite, and the transmission is carried to the bottom of the altar containing fuel, at the same time, the Kong Ming lantern will also fall, the altar will break when it falls to the ground, the fuel will disperse, and fall on the Mongolian camp tent, then, riding the wind, the Mongolian camp is bound to fall into the sea of fire。 ”

After everyone listened, those who understood couldn't help but be stunned, and those who didn't understand were still confused.

Zong Zheng immediately took the drawings drawn in advance, pointed to the drawings marked on them, and explained them in detail one by one, and everyone understood.

Zhang Yu exclaimed: "I can't imagine that there is really such a wonderful way to break the enemy, and there is really no need to send a single soldier." ”

Everyone was also secretly impressed, feeling that this plan was feasible, and they couldn't help but be happy and show their cheeks.

Zong Zheng looked embarrassed, and said in a low tone,

"The most important thing in this method is to calculate the amount of candles and wind speed, so you need to test it. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What's so difficult about this? From tonight onwards, Brother Mei, you are in charge of the entire plan, and any instructions can be conveyed, and we will follow them one by one." ”

All the generals replied, "Brother Mei, if there is a send, we will obey it." ”

Zong Zheng saw that the crowd was excited, so he took the opportunity to arrange the task and said: "Now I will assign the task, Brother Zhang Yu will make three hundred large Kong Ming lanterns as soon as possible within two days, and tomorrow I will make seven Kong Ming lanterns of different colors first, I will experiment first." ”

Zhang Yu replied, "No problem. ”

"Brother Zhu, within two days, you ordered someone to prepare three hundred jars and jars, and fill them with fuel, remember that jars and jars should not be too big. ”

Zhu Quanyi responded: "Everything will be done." ”

Zong Zheng said to Li Zizhang: "Brother Li, you should prepare as many candles as possible in two days. ”

Li Zizhang happily replied, "Okay." ”

After the order was completed, Zong Zheng thought of something, and couldn't help but look embarrassed again, frowned, and said to everyone,

"This test is not a difficult matter, it is rare how to not be discovered by the enemy during the test, if they are discovered, no matter how well prepared before, we are at a loss!"

Zhang Yu and others have been dealing with the Mongolian army for many years, and naturally feel that what Zongzheng said is reasonable, and there is no shortage of resourceful and witty people in the Mongolian army, and how to hide from them requires some means and strategies.

Zong Zheng had already thought of a countermeasure to kill two birds with one stone, but this move was suspected of being disrespectful, so he didn't dare to mention it easily.

Zong Zheng turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Brother Zhang, there is one thing I hope you don't mind the rudeness of your juniors. ”

Zhang Yu replied politely and naturally: "Brother Mei has any orders, just say it, don't mind anything." ”

Zong Zheng saw that Zhang Yu readily agreed, so he no longer scrupled and said: "That's good, the juniors will be rude." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Chi: "Brother Zhang Chi, you first put on the plain clothes used in the funeral on the city, and tomorrow the whole army will cry and announce to the outside world that General Wang has passed away." ”

Zhang Chi was shocked: "This, isn't General Wang still alive?"

Zhang Yu was in doubt, but since Zong Zheng mentioned it, he knew that it must have a deep meaning, so he couldn't help but ask Zong Zhengdao: "I don't know what Brother Mei's intentions are?"

Zong Zheng explained: "The younger generation did this to paralyze the enemy, and tomorrow night I will light a lamp for an experiment in the name of mourning the general, otherwise, I am afraid that the enemy will detect our plan in advance and it will fall short at that time; second, it is to make the Mongol army dare not attack the city for three days, so as to ease the current tense situation." ”

Zhu Quanyi was puzzled: "This paralyzes the enemy, we understand, why does this make the enemy dare not attack the city within three days?"

Zong Zheng felt that the explanation was inappropriate at this time, so he shirked it and said, "This, I will explain it to you in the future." ”

Zhang Yu seemed to have an understanding and sighed: "Brother Mei Yong will be a first-class handsome talent if he joins the army." ”

Zong Zheng replied politely: "Brother Zhang has an overreputation, and he is ashamed." ”

Since Zhang Yu had understood Zongzheng's intentions, he agreed to Zongzheng's proposal and ordered the generals to act according to Brother Mei's orders.

When they had received the order, they departed one by one, and went to their respective duties.

The next day, the Mongol army gathered its army, as it had been a few days before, and prepared to attack the city again, and when they came to the city, they saw that the walls were covered with white cloths, and the soldiers wept incessantly.

Seeing this situation, the striker Wang Dechen said to Meng Ge: "Great Khan, I haven't seen Wang Jian for a few days, presumably Wang Jian has been killed by an arrow, and our army is not suitable to attack the city in the past two days." ”

Meng Ge couldn't help but ask, "Since Wang Jian is dead, why not take advantage of the situation to attack?"

Wang Dechen, as a pioneer general and a strategist of Meng Ge, has many years of battlefield experience, and he also knows the character of the Song army, so he naturally knows the hidden crisis under this situation; he explained to Meng Ge: "On the one hand, there is fear of deception; on the other hand, the art of war is cloudy, and the mourning army will win, and the Song army has just lost its main general, and the spirit of resentment and resentment is flourishing.

After thinking about it for a while, Meng Ge felt that what Wang Dechen said was not unreasonable, and immediately issued an order for the whole army to retreat, and then attack after three days of mourning.

Subsequently, the Mongol army came violently and withdrew in unison.

Zhu Quanyi and others saw that the Mongolian army was approaching the city but suddenly withdrew, exactly as Zong Zheng expected, and they admired it in their hearts.

Zhang Chi sighed and said: "Unexpectedly, the enemy really no longer attacks the city. ”

Zhu Quanyi praised: "This Mei brother is really powerful!"
