Kublai Khan led the elite main force to avoid Ali Buge's army and went straight to Horin, and the army was mighty and imposing.

Just approaching the Helin Twenty-mile Pass, Kublai Khan sent Zhang Rou as the main general to attack the pass at night, but was ambushed by Ali Buge's 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhang Rou had no choice but to withdraw to the camp.

Kublai Khan learned of the military report from the front, and he knew very well that it was the main force of Ali Buge, obviously, he turned the rear army originally used to attack Kaiping into a forward and quietly withdrew to Helin, according to Ali Buge's temperament, it seems to be his style to choose to save Helin, but the only thing worth doubting is why Ali Buge made arrangements in advance, and he obviously avoided his main force, quietly marched, after careful thinking and analysis, he felt that the only explanation was that a spy leaked his plan in advance.

The first person who came to Fa Sipa's mind was Zong Zheng, he found Zong Zheng in private, and asked, "Zong Zheng, are you a ghost among them?" Fa Sipa's tone was very harsh, he looked at Zong Zheng, as if he was looking at a wild and untamable bad horse, but with three points of resentment and hostility.

Zong Zheng replied coldly: "Joke, don't forget, I came up with this plan myself, and the national teacher means that I put forward the plan by myself, and then destroy the plan by myself, am I such a boring person?"

Fa Siba pondered carefully, and felt that Zongzheng's words were not unreasonable, if Zongzheng had the intention to come to this point, there was no need to come up with this plan, because it would not benefit him at all, not to mention, his wife was still in his own hands.

Gradually, Fa Si Pa dissipated some of his hostility towards Zongzheng, and his gaze softened.

"I'm wondering too, I don't know who leaked the plan?" Zong Zheng muttered,

When the two were arguing, Zhang Rou rushed to the meeting and told them to hurry to the sweat camp to discuss the matter.

In the big tent, the atmosphere is solemn, and after losing the battle, facing the dilemma, naturally no one is comfortable.

"Presumably, at this moment, the situation of our army, all the generals know in their hearts, I wonder what you think?" Kublai Khan asked,

Dong Wenbing was in a hurry, and immediately pointed at Zong Zheng and complained: "I blame you, and put forward a plan to attack Helin, now it's good, it's hard to ride a tiger!"

Zong Zheng defended: "General Dong's words are wrong, let me ask you, if you use my strategy, will our army really suffer?"

"What do you mean by that?" Dong Wenbing asked rhetorically,

Zong Zheng calmly explained: "Kaiping was surrounded, we led the army to attack Helin, forcing Ali Buge to retreat to the main force to defend Helin, and the siege of Kaiping can also be solved, isn't this the benefit of our army?

Kublai Khan was suspicious of this matter, but Zongzheng said that the thousands of generals present all looked at each other.

Fa Si Pa immediately approached Kublai Khan's ear and whispered a few words, and then Kublai Khan retreated from the crowd, leaving Liu Bingzhong, Fa Si Pa and Zong Zheng.

Zong Zheng knew Fa Sipa's intentions, and he also knew in his heart that since he had chosen such a difficult path, he was destined to learn to bear it, and in front of many smart people, if he was not careful, he would lose everything, and he couldn't help but become cautious.

When everyone retreated, Kublai Khan came to Zongzheng and deliberately said,

"Zongzheng is right, I think there must be spies in our army, and the three of them are all wise and resourceful people in the army, but there is a wonderful way to find out this person?"

Liu Bingzhong said: "Back to the Great Khan, it is not difficult to find out this person, and the minister will definitely arrest this person in the next game." ”

Zong Zheng immediately said nervously: "No!"

Kublai Khan, Fa Si Pa and Liu Bingzhong were slightly surprised by Zong Zheng's shout.

"Why not?" Kublai Khan asked,

Zong Zheng knew that Liu Bingzhong was powerful, if Liu Bingzhong really carried out the plan to catch the traitor, he was afraid of ruining his entire chess game, and he couldn't help but be nervous for a while, but fortunately, he already had a good reason to convince the three of them, so he said calmly,

"Since it is a mole, the other party can use it, and we can use it, depending on how to use it?"

Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba are both scheming people, they know the essence of this sentence, looking at Zong Zheng's confident and determined look, they know that Zong Zheng is secretly strategic, Liu Bingzhong asked: "Hearing this, I think you must have a more clever strategy, there are only four of us at the moment, all of us are credible people, why don't you say it thoroughly!"

Zong Zheng asked Liu Bingzhong rhetorically: "Lord Xingtai, I don't know what you think about the current situation?"

Liu Bingzhong replied truthfully: "On the surface, the siege of Kaiping has been lifted, our army has not obtained Helin, and Ali Buge has not obtained Kaiping, it is a draw, but the forward army of Hunduhai cut off the return of our army, and Ali Buge transferred the rear army that originally attacked Kaiping back to Helin, so we are trapped in Helin, and the situation is far worse than before!"

Fa Sipa's heart is like a mirror, Ali Buge's move is definitely instructed by a master, otherwise, there will never be such a fast military layout, and so accurately grasp the lifeblood of our army.

"Dare to ask the Great Khan, but he complained about me like General Dong did, and regretted choosing this gamble. Zong Zheng then asked Kublai Khan,

This was originally a gambling game, and this situation was also unexpected, and it should be reasonable, since it was a gambling game, then he was willing to gamble and lose, how could he blame others, Kublai Khan calmly replied,

"If the sky is like this, what can the husband say, since he has already chosen, how can the husband easily regret it if he walks in heaven and earth!"

"That's a good point, what is the next step for the Great Khan?" asked Zongzheng again,

Kublai Khan looked a little helpless, but he also barely cheered up and said: "Fortunately, the Kaiping base camp is still there, and we can only withdraw to Kaiping with the support of the Kaiping defenders to seek a long journey!"

Zong Zheng looked at Liu Bingzhong, and then at Fa Sipa, "Lord Xingtai, national teacher, you think the same way?"

The two knew that the current comparison of the strength of the two parties was still very different, and there was no other good way, so they had to adopt such a safe method, so they kept silent.

Zong Zhengze suddenly said to Kublai Khan with a great expression: "Qi Great Khan, I think that this is a good opportunity given by God to the Great Khan, our army should not only not retreat, but also advance, in the name of crusade to capture Helin, and then unify Mongolia." ”

Fa Sipa looked at Zong Zheng with incredulous eyes, obviously he was in a situation of being beaten passively, but he still had to blindly move forward, didn't this obviously jump into the fire pit? He couldn't help but doubt Zong Zheng's true purpose, and he didn't know what Zong Zheng's intentions were.

Liu Bingzhong retorted: "Zongzheng, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, you know that the strength of the two armies is very different, and attacking at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Kublai Khan was also very displeased, he thought that Zong was offering a plan indiscriminately, and it was difficult to feel at ease, but now he is retreating and advancing, which is really unacceptable.

Kublai Khan, Liu Bing and Fa Siba were all confused by Zongzheng's thinking, the so-called not making a noise is enough, a blockbuster, Zongzheng's ideas are always different from ordinary people, very bold, out of politeness, Kublai Khan still asked politely,

"Zongzheng, tell me your reasons!"

Zong Zheng took out a map from his bosom and talked about the strategy in his chest in front of the three of them.

After Zongzheng is finished, Fa Siba and Liu Bingzhong look at each other, as the most intelligent layout people, the two can't help but sincerely admire Zongzheng's big layout, this game can be described as extremely exquisite, in a blink of an eye, not only let the current disadvantage turn into an advantage, the dilemma into a victory, but also in one fell swoop to eradicate Ali Buge's minions, and heavily weaken the Central Plains martial arts and the Southern Song Dynasty court.

This game can defeat Ali Buge in the near future and unify Mongolia, and far can weaken the power of the Southern Song Dynasty and prepare for the future domination of the world; the overall situation is divided into three small games, each of which is interlocking, and there are detailed plans and arrangements, which are not leaky.

Both Fa Si Pa and Liu Bingzhong have insight into the subtleties, and they also know that with their own ability, they will never be able to come up with such a layout, which shows that Zongzheng has put a lot of effort into it, and he is also aware of the key, difficulties, and threats.

However, the biggest threat comes from the overall situation himself, Zongzheng, the so-called success is also Zongzheng, defeat is also Zongzheng, the key to the whole layout is Zongzheng, if he is to Kublai Khan, then Kublai Khan wins the whole, if he is biased towards Ali Buge, then Ali Buge wins the overall situation, of course, if he is biased towards the Southern Song Dynasty, then the whole Mongolia suffers a big loss.

Since Zong Zheng has this resource, it is difficult to guarantee that he can control him, Fa Siba and Liu Bingzhong heard Zong Zheng's big chess game, they were all impressed by Zong Zheng, and they both felt that Zong Zheng was far more terrifying than they imagined.

Fa Sipa, who knew the truth, was even more certain, he was the Qizi who had the life of the dragon star, but he also had an extra layer of worries, these worries came more from a lot of uncertainty, he didn't know Zongzheng's true intentions, he didn't understand what Zongzheng wanted to do, he was worried that if Zongzheng didn't really help Kublai Khan, then whether he would be able to lower him.

Fa Sipa was a little uneasy, and he wanted to try his best to persuade Kublai Khan and Liu Bingzhong not to take Zongzheng's suggestion, but Zongzheng's layout seemed to be flawless, especially in response to the current situation, and people couldn't help but think about trying.

The rarest thing about getting along with people is trust, especially in the face of major decisions, Liu Bingzhong and Kublai Khan are also smart people, and they recognized at a glance that the core of the three serial small bureaus is Zongzheng, and Zongzheng is also at the core of the overall situation, holding great power over life and death.

None of the three dared to easily cede this power of life and death to a person they could not fully trust, and this was a matter of great importance and must be cautious.

Since Zong Zheng chose to speak out in front of smart and wise people, he had already thought about their concerns, and also thought of reasons to dispel their concerns.

"I know your concerns, and rest assured that I have three reasons why you can carry out this plan with peace of mind. ”
