Chapter 172: Casting a Killing Game for the Camp Step by Step (8
Regarding what Zongzheng said, Ali Buge asked rhetorically: "But if you can't control Kublai Khan in time, won't you have to fight to the death?"
Zong Zheng mentioned Ali Buge and said: "Sooner or later there will be a big battle between the Great Khan and Kublai Khan, and now people are coming to attack you, if you burn his grain and grass, take a step back, you can temporarily force back his attack, suppress his morale, and then take a step back, even if you really want to fight with him one day, then at least win the advantage of grain and grass, now Kublai Khan is raising troops to attack you, the rear must be empty, it is the time to burn his grain and grass, the Great Khan must make a decision as soon as possible, the opportunity must not be lost!"
Zongzheng's words are quite reasonable, the thousands of generals present all slightly agreed, Zongzheng's words also gave Ali Buge a trace of confidence, and gradually some recognition of the situation, coupled with the timely admonition of Asutai and Hunduhai, Ali Buge finally made up his mind, and turned to worry about whether Zongzheng could burn Kublai Khan's grain and grass, so he asked Zongzhengdao,
"Now that the passage to Kublai Khan's camp has been surrounded by him, is there any way you can go around his rear and burn his grain and grass?"
Seeing that Ali Buge had made up his mind, Zong Zheng confidently replied: "The Great Khan does not need to worry, I have already thought of a plan to destroy his grain and grass! As long as the Great Khan gives the order, I am willing to make a military order, and if I do not burn Kublai Khan's grain and grass, I will voluntarily cut off my head! I just need to borrow a few people from you." ”
Seeing that Zong Zheng dared to make such a military order, Ali Buge also admired his courage, and at the same time felt more confident in his heart, so he generously agreed: "This time you need any help from Ben Khan, Ben Khan will agree!
"This detour to the rear of Kublai Khan to burn the grain and grass needs to be extremely secretive, more people will cause Kublai Khan's vigilance, if the Great Khan transfers the few masters of the Juxian Pavilion to burn the grain and grass, I think, with their martial arts, it is more than enough to avoid Kublai Khan's outer encirclement, and Zhu Yunshi must go!" Zong Zheng replied, deliberately emphasizing Zhu Yunshi himself,
Ali Buge felt that what Zongzheng said was reasonable, so he agreed to Zongzheng's proposal, but he was curious about Zongzheng's emphasis on Zhu Yunshi himself, so he asked,
"Why does Zhu Yunshi have to go?"
Zong Zheng explained: "Zhu Yunshi was once rebelled by Kublai Khan, although she is now reunited with the Great Khan, but her loyalty needs to be tested, if she is sent to burn the grain and grass, it can test her loyalty to the Great Khan, after all, burning the grain and grass is a key event for the army on the march, if she does not report in advance or obstruct the burning of grain, it shows her loyalty to the Great Khan." ”
"Well, yes! Or do what you say!" Ali Buge nodded in praise, in fact, in his heart, he was suspicious of both Zong Zheng and Zhu Yunshi, and now Zong Zheng made a military order to burn Kublai Khan's grain and grass, his suspicion of Zong Zheng has changed greatly, and Zong Zheng's proposal to test Zhu Yunshi's loyalty further proves the possibility of Zong Zheng and Zhu Yunshi conspiring, because Zong Zheng himself also has doubts about Zhu Yunshi, and Zhu Yunshi has a problem.
Just as Zongzheng thought, Kublai Khan's rear was empty, and several masters of Juxian Pavilion quietly detoured to the rear and successfully set fire to the granary.
Seeing Kublai Khan's camp on fire and smoking, Ali Buge knew that the people of Juxian Pavilion had succeeded, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he also felt guilty about Zongzheng's previous suspicions.
Kublai Khan saw the fire in the rear and knew that the grain and grass were burned, so he hurriedly led his troops back to rescue, but the fire was too fierce and only two or three percent were saved.
Zhu Yunshi did not fail in his mission, and Zongzheng also offered a plan at a critical moment not only to force back Kublai Khan's attack, suppress his morale, but also burn Kublai Khan's grain and grass, which can be said to be indispensable, so Ali Buge gradually gave up his vigilance against Zongzheng and Zhu Yunshi, and also secretly removed the people who were watching.
After a big victory, it is natural to put on a celebration banquet, which is Ali Buge's usual style.
Although it was the height of the war, the scene of the song and the dance of the warbler was still customary in Ali Buge's camp.
At the banquet, Ali Buge raised a glass to celebrate Zongzheng's achievements and stated that he wanted to reuse Zongzheng, whether it was his true words or not, no one knows, Zongzheng knows it.
The dinner went on late, and Zong Zheng left halfway on the grounds that he was too strong to drink.
When I returned to the tent, I opened the curtain and saw that Zhu Yunshi was already waiting in the tent.
"You're here!" Zong Zheng greeted, as if he expected Zhu Yunshi to come, and subconsciously looked out of the tent.
Zhu Yunshi knew Zongzheng's concerns, and An persuaded: "Don't worry, no one is monitoring now!"
Seeing that no one was watching, Zong Zheng turned around and felt a little relieved.
"Can you answer the doubts in my heart now?" Zhu Yunshi said angrily, she was so aggrieved these days, and finally seized the opportunity to question Zongzheng, she was naturally a little angry.
Zong Zheng saw the resentment in Zhu Yunshi's heart, so he explained: "I'm completely for your good, you have been imprisoned for more than half a year, even if you go back, you naturally can't escape the suspicion of the Great Khan, it is better to simply admit this, this will not arouse his murderous intentions, and now you burn Kublai Khan's grain and grass Doesn't it prove your innocence?
"That's a good thing, but you can't hide it from me, you must have some ulterior secrets, my intuition tells me that you are definitely not sincere allegiance to the Great Khan!" Zhu Yunshi's eyes stared straight at Zongzheng.
Zong Zheng looked at Zhu Yunshi's eyes, very uncomfortable, "Why do you look at me like this? Even if I am not sincerely loyal to the Great Khan, are you? What's more, if you go to denounce me now, do you think the Great Khan will believe it?"
Zhu Yunshi knew that she really couldn't expose Zongzheng at the moment, and she didn't want to reveal it in her heart, so she only coldly dropped a sentence,
"Okay! I see!" he said and left angrily.
Zong Zheng grabbed Zhu Yunshi's hand, "Slow!"
Zhu Yunshi twisted gorgeously with Zongzheng's strength, her posture was moving, and the two instantly narrowed the distance.
Looking at Zongzheng's cheeks, Zhu Yunshi did not have the previous resistance, and her expression was slightly rippling.
Zong Zheng suddenly realized his rudeness, and immediately let go of Zhu Yunshi's hand, "I have something to bother you to see!"
As he spoke, he took out the scroll stolen from Shaolin from his arms and handed it to Zhu Yunshi.
"What is this?" asked Zhu Yunshi,
"This is a scroll, it is all Tianzhu script, I can't read it, and I ask you to help translate it!"
Zhu Yunshi saw that it was Zongzheng who asked for herself, and she was worried that she had nowhere to be angry, so she replied indifferently: "Why should I help you translate? You haven't even answered my question yet!"
Zong Zheng took the scroll in his hand, and when he saw Zhu Yunshi's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but hold the scroll tighter, "You have no conscience, I rescued you from Kublai Khan's rescue, and you still haven't repaid me well, just let you translate the scroll in my hand, don't you want to do this?"
"I just don't have a conscience, what's more, you know it well, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives for saving me!" Zhu Yunshi retorted,
Zong Zheng saw that Zhu Yunshi was determined to help him, so he suddenly had a plan, and said excitedly: "Don't you want to know the origin of this scroll?
Zongzheng's words were like the suction of a magnet, which immediately hooked Zhu Yunshi's interest, and secretly thought: "This kid is also reasonable, if it is something useful to me, even if he deceives him, he doesn't know." ”
Thinking about it, he immediately snatched the scroll from Zong Zheng's hand, and when Zong Zheng saw this, a light smile secretly welled up at the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Yunshi opened the scroll slightly, and only a vertical text was revealed in the scroll, and Zhu Yunshi was stunned for a moment, "Oh my God, isn't this the handwriting of Engong?"
A trace of surprise flashed on her face, and she was even more surprised, all these years she came to the Central Plains to find her father-in-law and fulfill her mother's wish back then.
Zhu Yunshi excitedly grabbed Zongzheng's sleeve and asked, "Tell me quickly, where did you get this scroll?"
Zong Zheng was very surprised and curious about Zhu Yunshi's surprised and excited move, but after all, he didn't understand whether it was good or bad to let Zhu Yunshi know the truth, so he was still extremely cautious about Zhu Yunshi's question, and asked rhetorically,
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this volume?"
Zhu Yunshi looked at Zong Zheng carefully, her mind flashed the portrait of Zong Wei back then, and she had the feeling of seeing Zong Zheng for the first time, "Like, it's too similar!" Thinking about it, she asked casually,
"Do you know Zong Wei?"
Zong Zheng remembered that Zhu Yunshi asked about this question, but he didn't answer her for fear of causing trouble, and now that Zhu Yunshi was so shocked when she saw the scroll, Zong Zheng guessed that Zhu Yunshi should be familiar with her father, and her desire to explore her father arose inexplicably.
Zong Zheng didn't answer, and Zhu Yunshi boldly said the suspicion in her heart, "Are you Zong Wei's son?"
"How are you" Zong Zheng was about to jump out of the word "know" when he was excited, but he carefully put it away and changed his words: "Why are you talking nonsense?"
Although Zong Zheng flexibly changed his mouth shape, Zhu Yunshi still saw that Zong Zheng was wrong, although Zong Zheng did not admit it personally, but the intelligent Zhu Yunshi had already guessed the result, she was very excited and relieved, but she hid it in her heart and did not show her face.
Seeing that Zong was so deliberately evasive, Zhu Yunshi no longer asked, but slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand, looking at the Tianzhu text gradually unfolding on it, Zhu Yunshi's face was even more shocked than before, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became!
Zong Zheng carefully paid attention to the change in Zhu Yunshi's expression, although he was curious, but when he saw Zhu Yunshi's eyes looking at the scroll seriously and attentively, he didn't interrupt and ask, but he kept speculating about the content of the scroll in his heart, what was written in it, which made her so shocked?
When Zhu Yunshi finished turning the last page, her mind seemed to be confused, and her eyes were a little confused.
"What's the matter? What exactly does this say?" Zong Zheng asked anxiously,
