Chapter 541 The cold winter is coming
Zong Xin deliberately cut off his own source of income, and used this method to contain Li Jing's development. It is impossible for Li Jing, who has no money, to fight a war of attrition with Guo Wei. As long as he insists on a few waves of attacks, Li Jing will retreat, and then Murong Yan will be left behind. It's too late to go to Datang so much.Only in this way can Murong Yanchao be driven to death.

Zong Xin can even use this kind of thing to benefit the world, you have to admire it.Of course, there is also the matter of silver bills, which is really subtle. It is equivalent to the state giving the people white notes. As long as the country is not destroyed, these silver bills can be exchanged for silver. After learning about this situation, the people will definitely give them the silver very enthusiastically. .

Compared with Yandao's [-]% income, Guo Wei has always valued Zongxin's ability and wit.Although Guo Wei was extremely ashamed when Zongxin Yandao got [-]% of the income and married Ning An, but now Zongxin wants to take back the [-]% of the income, and everyone can't make money, so Guo Wei feels relieved.

Then the next thing is to prepare for Xuzhou. Li Jing will not send troops for the time being, so he must prepare supplies first.One thing is very strange, why did Zong Xin let himself prepare the soldiers' winter clothes?The temperature in Xuzhou is extremely cold even in winter, so what are you going to do with your winter clothes?

Although it is a bit strange, after so many months of peace of mind without war, Guo Wei's treasury has been enriched, and now it can be used a little bit.According to Guo Wei's thinking, this battle should not be far away. It is still late summer and early autumn, and it should be almost the same in two or three months. At that time, winter has just entered, and the temperature in the south, there is no need to prepare anything for winter clothing.

Of course, this money has to be spent as it should. Perhaps this battle will take a long time, and no matter how warm the south is in winter, it will be cold. It is not wrong to ask the soldiers to dress warmly.

"Zong Xin~ Just now you asked me to prepare more clothes and supplies for the winter. Could it be that this battle is coming to see the beginning of spring? This battle has not yet started, and I was thinking about the way you saw the soldiers holding their guns in the cold Fortunately, the temperature in the south is not too cold even in winter. You have never seen winter in Khitan, but it is so cold that you will freeze if you breathe in."

Every time when going to war, Guo Wei would think of the saying, "Since ancient times, we have known that soldiers are not warlike". Soldiers don't like to fight, and they join the army for food and clothing. It would be great if they could not fight.Although he thought so in his heart, Guo Wei knew that it was impossible not to fight. Since ancient times, the longest truce was the Great Tang Dynasty. It is a pity that such a powerful dynasty will inevitably perish in the end. How many years can he persist in this Great Zhou? ?
Zong Xin shook his head and said, "It's not about preparing too much, it's about preparing more. This winter is extremely cold."

Never heard of it, Zong Xin's words made Guo Wei confused again.Xuzhou belongs to the south, and beyond that is Jinling, the granary of the world. How can it be cold there?And it's extremely cold.

Guo Wei looked at Zong Xin with contempt, and then asked: "This...you can even do this kind of thing?"

"I haven't tried it, but it should work. Anyway, these things have to be prepared sooner or later, and there is nothing wrong with preparing them in advance. Anyway, if the temperature drops extremely at that time, won't you take advantage? Even if you don't, you won't lose anything."

"That's right." Guo Wei said, "As long as you don't have to worry about the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces, 8 Murong Yanchao is enough. Li Jing is suspicious by nature, as long as he sees that Murong Yanchao can't do him much good, he will immediately retreat. Even if Murong Yanchao wants to rely on Li Jing, he is afraid of my attack. Murong Yanchao will be blocked in Xuzhou, but the premise is that we can win this fight."

"Definitely win."

Guo Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Guo Wei had no doubts about Zong Xin, but asked a few more questions because he was worried.Under such circumstances, only Zong Xin's words are useful, otherwise, as the king of a country, Guo Wei could not have completely disregarded the coalition forces of the Northern Han and Khitan and sent all [-] soldiers to Xuzhou.

Although Zong Xin has cheated many people, Zong Xin has saved more people, and Guo Wei's intuition is very accurate. His intuition tells Guo Wei that Zong Xin will never harm him.Not only because Zong Xin had saved him so many times and married his daughter, but the most important thing was his intuition.

"Finally, I can avenge the blood feud of Dong'er and Le'an, and I want to personally conquer."

Zong Xin immediately waved his hand and said: "No, no, you can't go. I forgot to mention this matter, let Chai Rong lead troops to resist Nantang and Murong Yanchao, and you can take some troops to Weizhou Song Clan as you like. After Khitan and Northern Han drive away, it won't be too late to go to Xuzhou."

"This..." Guo Wei thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Oh~ so that's the case. I understand, I finally understand. No wonder I said I didn't need to send troops to Weizhou, but I actually sent the widows there. Think about it. Yes, why should the Song Clan resist the Khitan-Northern Han coalition forces for me? If I hadn't come here in person, Song Yan wouldn't have given me face."

"That's right, Da Zhou is now enemies on three sides, not only the coalition forces of Northern Han and Khitan, but also the pressure of Khitan on Cangzhou, and Murong Yanchao is colluding with Da Tang to prepare for a counterattack. No matter how many troops you have, there is no way to make up for it." There are three holes of this size. So just one word, procrastinate."

Guo Wei asked, "How long?"

"It's delayed until the beginning of spring. After the beginning of spring, the Khitan soldiers are anxious to go home to plant spring wheat. Even if Yelujing is stupid, he will not abandon the world. At that time, the Khitan will retreat. It's just the Northern Han Dynasty. It doesn't matter if he doesn't attack, if he dares to attack Kill him without leaving a piece of armor. Xuzhou's [-] troops have stood firm for half a year, and I feel sullen in my heart. When you go to Xuzhou and work hard, you will be able to win a big victory. But... you have to work hard on your father-in-law, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty If you want to conquer the whole world, you will never give up easily, and you will definitely attack Weizhou. When the Jiedu envoys from all over the country see that their emperor goes to Weizhou alone after having no soldiers to send, they will fully support his father-in-law and defend Weizhou It's not difficult, it's just that you have to suffer a little bit of powerlessness."

Guo Wei nodded and said: "How can this be regarded as being angry? It's just sticking to the city, and there is nothing to be angry about. But I understand what you mean. You don't need to bring troops to Weizhou, but I have to bring enough food and grass for the army, right?"

"No, I said that King Lei's Mansion will provide all-out assistance. At that time, it will not only be military strength, but also countless property. As long as you go to Weizhou to stabilize the morale of the army, let the people of the Song Clan know that you will live and die with Weizhou, and encourage them Their morale is enough. When the time comes, you can just seal up a few nominal princes, or give Song Yan a few white notes, and you will be very happy."

Guo Wei took a deep breath and said, "It's not appropriate, Song Yan is also your father-in-law, you can't cheat him like this."

"It's okay, King Lei's Mansion will give you the money."

"Oh ~ yes." Guo Wei said: "I'm a little curious, why is Lei Hong's mansion similar to yours? What do you ask Lei Hong to do, he does what he does. I have always been very strange about this matter but I am not ashamed to ask."

"For a while, I, for a while, for a while, for a while... I'm surprised to hear it."

Guo Wei said: "I'm not used to those names, and I often can't change my mouth. You answer the question directly, don't think I'm out of my mind, just change the words casually, and the matter will be over."

Zong Xin explained: "The reason is very simple. I have a cooperative relationship with Lei Hong. Most of Yandao's money is deposited with him, but Lei Hong has done nothing. He is the biggest beneficiary of Yandao, otherwise he Why do you treat me so well? Besides, Lei Hong wants to accept me as his apprentice, because my talent is very similar to his, and any martial arts can be seen at a glance. Lei Hong has always liked me. Of course, the most important thing is... Lei Hong I also regained my youth. In fact, I hid two drops of unicorn blood, one for Lei Hong and one for Song Yan, otherwise why would they help us so much?"

Guo Wei nodded. If this was a transaction, it would make perfect sense.Unexpectedly, Zong Xin actually paid two drops of unicorn blood for this transaction. You must know that these unicorn blood are extremely precious, and can restore a person's youth for 20 years.

Although Zong Xin's plan is very strict, but...Guo Wei feels a bit at a loss, and really wants to taste the taste of Qilin's blood. 20 years of youth, if I can get this drop of unicorn blood, maybe I can rush into the Northern Han Dynasty and slaughter Liu Chong. With the current martial arts and 20 years of youth, there is absolutely no problem.

Zong Xin continued: "Father-in-law, don't think about it too much. You only have three years to live as the emperor, and Qilin's blood is wasted on you. And if you don't do this, how can the Song Clan and Lei Wangfu help you?"

"No, no, you're thinking too much. I'm not greedy for the magical effects of unicorn blood, but I just think...it's nice to be young." Guo Wei said: "You may not know that my current status is completely different from when I was young. Fabi. I didn’t feel tired at all when I stayed with your mother-in-law without sleeping for a few nights. Now... my body is failing, so I want to recall the feeling at that time. The more I know my own death date, the more I want to cherish the present .”

Zong Xin took out a bottle from his arms, which contained dried ginseng fruit.Zong Xin looked at this old man with a gloomy expression. He was so old and he was so busy with state affairs, how could he still be in the mood to think about this kind of thing?Although I understand it very well, but...you have to take care of your body.

"It contains ginseng seeds, a very powerful tonic, which guarantees that your body will be better at night than when you were young." Zong Xin poured two from the bottle and put them on the table, and then said: "The medicine is very effective. Take care of your body first, and don’t keep thinking about such things.”

"Do you want me to care more?" Guo Wei immediately put away the two ginseng seeds. In fact, the imperial doctor would also prepare this medicine, but Guo Wei didn't mention this kind of thing because of his face. No, some medicine is needed to improve the ability.Moreover, with Guo Wei's skill level, coupled with working day and night, ordinary medicines will not work at all.

Zong Xin looked at the sky, the two had chatted for a long time, and it was almost time to go to rest.Guo Wei hasn't said a few words to Tian Ya and Ning An yet.
