Chapter 170 The Great Tang Attacks Chu
"I...I'm such a bastard." Murong Yanchao said angrily: "What have I been doing all these years? As long as the Han Dynasty is stable, my glory and wealth will never be lost, but if the Han Dynasty is not guaranteed, my status will be lost." Naturally not guaranteed. Why didn’t I figure out such a simple truth before?”

Both King Xue and Xue Kun were taken aback, they knew Murong Yanchao too well, he was a pleasure seeker.In order to keep his status as a prince, he kept pulling closer to officials with real power, and brought people together to have fun together.But Zong Xin made this hopeless fool think about such an important matter with a few words...

He is worthy of being an eminent monk, and everyone admires him very much.As expected, Buddhist Duhua mortals have their own way. Even a person like Murong Yanchao would be awakened by a few words, which is simply unimaginable.

Zong Xin suddenly explained: "Don't get me wrong, everyone, I just figured out how King Yan died, and I didn't intend to convert anyone. But... it's good to wake up early, lest it's too late to realize that I've lost the throne by then. Now The big thing will have to happen after next year's spring plowing. The Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang will definitely send his troops south. Then he will close the door and beat the dog according to the law of the poor monk, and take Yelu Deguang's head in one fell swoop. The Khitan dare not violate the border in a short time. Originally, the poor monk wanted to secure the interior first, and then the exterior, but the situation forced him to go to the exterior first, and then the interior.”

"Great master, but..." Murong Yanchao didn't say anything, because he didn't believe that after next year's spring plowing, Yelu Deguang would march south.After all, Zong Xin's plan had already been spread all over the world, and everyone thought that Zong Xin deliberately disclosed the plan in the hope that Yelu Deguang would retreat in the face of difficulties, so as not to risk his life in vain.

Zong Xin clasped his hands together and explained his plan again.Moreover, he also told about the preparation situation once, and Xue Wang was so excited that he was full of murderous aura.If Zong Xin's plan can be successful, he can really take Yelu Deguang's head, which is an extraordinary feat through the ages.

Murong Yanchao also admired the five-body projection. Only Master Zongxin can implement such a plan in the world today, because no matter who is lobbying, there will be no Jiedu envoy to follow Zongxin's order.Only Zong Xin can treat the entire Central Plains as a game of chess, and then slowly lay out the layout.

As long as Zongxin's plan is followed, the Khitan's national power will not dare to raise troops when they are frustrated.At that time, he will be able to settle down slowly, Liu Chengyou's country will be stable, and his position as a prince will also be stable.In this way, you can escape the death of freezing and starvation that Master Zong Xin said.

This is the first time Li Yu has heard of Zongxin's plan. He gritted his teeth secretly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But... can't go, everyone in the world has eyes, if Datang sends troops to attack the big man at this time, I'm afraid that the name will not be right.Even if such a country is won, it will not last long. What's more, if Yelu Deguang escapes by chance, it will only be self-defeating. On the contrary, it will give Khitan a chance to capture the big man, and Tang will be in danger at that time.

What a powerful monk, dare to make such a bold plan, I'm afraid Yelu Deguang's life will be lost.However, this is indeed a risky move. If the Khitan army does not enter Kaifeng but sticks to Cangzhou, it may be difficult to protect the Han Dynasty.After conquering the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is also in danger, and the Central Plains will be completely ruled by foreign races.

"The poor monk has clearly explained the cause and effect of the future, what will happen in the future depends on everyone's luck." Zong Dao said: "It's getting late, and the poor monk should also leave."

"Master, walk slowly." The three of them were very respectful, worthy of being eminent monks, and Zong Xin's boldness was unmatched by anyone in the world.And being able to clearly tell how Murong Yanchao died will also allow him to be on guard as soon as possible.

Only Murong Yanchao and his party were left in the private room, their expressions both excited and sad.

Murong Yanchao said: "Father-in-law, Master Zong Xin said that I would freeze and starve to death, is it true or not?"

King Xue shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but at least half of the truth is true. This monk is indeed not simple. He originally wanted to get close to him, but Master Zong Xin seemed to be deliberately alienating him. It seems that our Kunlun Sect's reputation in the Central Plains is not very good. "

"I can't help it. There are too many traitors from the Kunlun Sect. After learning our kung fu, they all return to the Central Plains to do evil. Father, it will take a long time to accept apprentices in the future. Talent is still second, and it mainly depends on character." Xue Kun kept He is reminding his father that although some children are very talented, they are not good-natured. Even if such a person teaches him martial arts, it will not be a good thing for the Kunlun School or even for the whole world.

Xue Wangdao: "This statement makes sense..."

The two turned their heads to stare at Murong Yanchao at the same time. This person is a typical example of a bad character but excellent martial arts talent.When Xue Wang recruited him as his son-in-law, he was not yet a prince, so he liked his talent in martial arts, and he was bold and heroic by nature.After getting married, Murong Yanchao's elder brother fought back against Khitan to destroy Jin and became king, and Murong Yanchao became a prince naturally. At that time, Murong Yanchao also contributed a lot, and the Kunlun faction was also proud of this son-in-law.

But after becoming a prince, Murong Yanchao only cared about enjoying himself, and kept wooing powerful officials to consolidate his power.King Xue was inevitably a little disappointed, but whenever he went to the Central Plains, Murong Yanchao would receive her with all his heart. This also reassured King Xue that at least his daughter would not suffer poverty if she followed him.

Fortunately, Murong Yanchao only wanted to have fun and had not harmed anyone.However, it has a bad reputation and has some impact on the reputation of Kunlun Sect.

But now Murong Yanchao has fully realized it, all thanks to Zong Xin's contribution.Unexpectedly, a few simple words can suddenly turn a person who has never changed his nature.In fact, the truth is very simple. It's not that Murong Yanchao doesn't understand, but it takes someone to give him a blow to wake him up.

Murong Yanchao said: "Looks like my son-in-law has been busy recently, try to gather the troops as much as possible, and when Yelu Deguang sends his troops south, I will also do my best to encircle and suppress them."

"Hmm~! I finally did something serious." Xue Wang felt a little relieved.

…………

After leaving Wanhualou, the group boarded the carriage and went straight back to Fan Mansion.

"Zong Xin, is it true that Murong Yanchao will die of freezing and starving?" Zhao Kuangyin was very interested in this matter. How could a prince die of freezing and starving?

Zong Xin nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. Murong Yanchao should only have a few years to live, and we will know the result soon."

"Ah~ boring." Zhao Kuangyin said depressedly: "Zong Xin, every time you criticize, it takes several years to come true, which makes me uncomfortable."

Zong Dao said, "The Khitan marching south is about to happen. This life is still long, so don't be impatient. As the saying goes, you can't eat stinky tofu if you are impatient."

"That's right, you have to persuade Li Jing to attack the state of Chu when you go to Jinling. After the Tang Dynasty destroys the state of Chu, the Tang Dynasty will have the largest territory and the most prosperous place. When the time comes to confront the big man, it is still unknown who will win the battle." " Zhao Kuangyin deliberately glanced at Li Yu, just to let Li Yu know that Zong Xin's trip to Jinling this time was not entirely for marrying Dugu Xingyue, he had more important tasks.

Sooner or later this matter will have to be kept secret, so it is better to talk about it first.After all, Li Yu is Li Jing's third son. Without him to lead the way, it would be difficult for even Zong Xin to enter the Tang Dynasty's palace.

Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to persuade Datang to attack Chu at this juncture? What if the big man is destroyed by Khitan, and then turn the gun around and attack Datang directly, what should we do?"

"We still have to focus on the overall situation. If the Tang Dynasty does not send troops, how many people will think that you want a mantis to catch cicadas and orioles behind? This will only delay the strength of the big man and fail to wipe out Yelu Deguang in time. If you give him If there is a trace of life, Yelude will only be in trouble if he breaks out of the encirclement."

Zong Dao said: "As long as the Great Tang sends troops to the Chu State, the Han generals will be able to fight against the Khitan army with all their strength. There is no need to worry about the future and no need to deploy defenses. In this way, the Great Han can defeat the Khitan, and the Tang Dynasty can defeat the Chu State and obtain the Chu State. This is beneficial to both parties. Isn’t it? Besides, Ma Cun, the king of Yue, is dead, and Ma Xi, the king of Chu, was killed by you. Isn’t it time to attack Chu?”

Li Yu couldn't retaliate, and Zong Xin was right. At this time, attacking Chu State would benefit Datang the most.His father, Emperor Li Jing, fought all the year round, causing the national treasury to be empty. He could only take this opportunity to make a fortune, and then consolidate his strength to fill the treasury again.What's more, the territory and population of the Tang Dynasty are more than that of the Han, so the Han will never dare to take the initiative to attack. As long as they can develop steadily, the Han will die when the two sides fight.

Zong Xin's plan was very good and was very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, the Han Dynasty had no benefit and had to lose troops and generals just to defeat the Khitan.

But if you don't beat Khitan hard at this time, I'm afraid that Yelude will only make Khitan more and more prosperous, and then the real crisis in the Central Plains will be.

After Zong Xin did this, the Khitan would only dare to make small troubles for at least a few decades, and never dared to attack on a large scale.Without the danger of Khitan, the big man can concentrate on dealing with his surroundings.Is it good or bad to do so?

Li Yu is also very embarrassed, Zong Xin's theory is painful, but in the next step, he knows that doing so is still good for the big man, and there are great benefits.If Emperor Li Jing listened to Zong Xin's words and attacked Chu State, what if he didn't take down Chu State?Now Datang treasury can't afford it.

"Master Zongxin, if the Tang Dynasty can't attack Chu for a long time, what should Liu Chengyou do when he launches an army to counterattack the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yu still thinks about things ahead. It is really dangerous to do so, although it has huge benefits, it is not worth it.

Zong Xin said with a smile: "The battle with the Khitan will definitely lose troops and generals, and it will not be able to recover within a few years. What's more, when the Tang Dynasty conquered the Chu Kingdom, there were no more big men... The poor monk can assure Li Benefactor that the Chu Kingdom will perish At that time, the great man will also perish."

"What does that mean?"

"The secret must not be leaked. Would the poor monk tell you about Guo Wei's rebellion and proclaiming himself emperor? The poor monk's mouth is very strict." Zong Xin really didn't know whether to believe it or not.Could it be that Guo Wei, who has always been loyal, will rebel and attack Kaifeng?If that's the case, Guo Wei's proclaiming himself emperor is just around the corner.

Li Yudao: "I seem to have heard the master say that Guo Wei will either be the emperor for three years or a prince for the first time. Could it be that Guo Wei will rebel and proclaim himself emperor in the near future? After he proclaims himself emperor, he can only be emperor for three years?"

"That's right, so the Great Tang is invited to attack Chu. After the Chu Kingdom is conquered, the Great Han will cease to exist. When Guo Wei proclaims himself emperor, you also know Guo Wei's character. If you don't mess with him, he will never mess with you. At that time, although everyone has different political opinions, the world will be peaceful and there will be no more troubles."

Li Yu said: "But you said that Guo Wei was only the emperor for three years."

"That's right, it's enough for the poor monk to wish to keep the world peaceful for three years." Zong Xin clasped his hands together, seemingly very pious.Only Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zong Xin was lying because he called himself a poor monk.
