Chapter 602
Zong Xin's scheming is so powerful that he almost controls other people's thoughts.Zhao Kuangyin thought he was independent, but in the end he was manipulated by others.It's just that this person is so powerful that he doesn't feel like being manipulated.

In fact, manipulating a person's mind is not difficult. If you don't give him food, you can make him hungry and want to eat.This person thought it was his own independent thinking, but the person who really controlled this thinking was not himself, but the person who didn't feed him.

What Zong Xin does is actually similar. If you meet the right person at the right time, the two will naturally say the right words and do the right things.They thought it was their own independent thinking, but in fact the person who controlled everything was the one who guided them to meet at the right time, and he controlled everything.

Zong Xin's ability was far more than that, and Zhao Kuangyin was shocked by it.Zong Xin's ability constantly refreshes the upper limit of his heart, and such a smart person can calculate this kind of ability, which is simply a BUG-level existence.Zhao Kuangyin felt that even if he became emperor one day, he would be ashamed to be equal to Zong Xin.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter, okay?"

"It's best to be like this, because this chess piece will only play its role after being hidden for more than ten years. We'd better forget about him, you just need to remember it once in a while."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about something serious. How is the war going?"

"Since I was crushed by my iron cavalry last time, Liu Chong has been dispatching troops to rectify morale for nearly a month. Yelujing learned that instead of blaming Weizhou for what happened, he sent [-] more Khitan warriors to the front. To assist Liu Chong, Liu Chong also gathered together all the troops he could use. Now in the entire Northern Han Dynasty, only those troops guarding the Khitan invasion are at the border, and there are no people with knives or guns in Taiyuan. .”

"So, Liu Chong is preparing to launch a general offensive?" Zhao Kuangyin asked: "How many troops does Liu Chong have now?"

"It's still about 4000 to [-]. Liu Chong lost a lot in the last battle. Although we captured and killed him, most of the soldiers escaped because they were afraid of me. They never returned to the Northern Han barracks. Otherwise, , Liu Chong will have more troops." Zong Dao said: "But [-] or [-] doesn't make any difference to me, anyway, it's a number we can't win. Now Weizhou only has [-] troops, of which The [-] people were all captured from the Northern Han Dynasty. Han Lingkun, the heir to the Legalist family, really works. His eloquence is absolutely first-rate. It is difficult to distinguish you from the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and this will completely eliminate the possibility of them colluding with each other and rebelling at critical moments."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded. This Han Lingkun was also found by Zongxin. Since the battle against Bailong at the Eight Dragons, Han Lingkun has been on Zongxin's side. He has been helping Yandao. In fact, he has no real job, but Han Lingkun's status Not bad, because his younger sister married Li Congjia, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Zong Xin personally bestowed the name Xiaohuarui on her.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Han Lingkun is also full of food and can live a good life, so he insisted on helping you, and he worked hard without complaint. You never gave him money."

"The heir of the Legal school has an old-fashioned personality and a stubborn temper. How could he live a good life with the help of his younger sister? Unless he earns it with his own efforts, Han Lingkun will never bear it. This is also the bad temper of the heirs of the Legal school, so the more he is They come less and less, because many descendants of the Legalist family have a bad life." Zong Xin said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry about Han Lingkun, he is the second in command in Yandao, and he makes much more money than you Yes. In front of Han Lingkun, you are a pauper, even if I don’t give him money, it’s enough for him.”

"That's true." Zhao Kuangyin hadn't figured it out just now. After Jing Zongxin said this, how could the second-in-command of Yandao be poor?He didn't need to ask Zong Xin for money at all. During his time in Yandao alone, he had already earned enough wealth to last for several lifetimes.

Guo Wei said: "Han Lingkun is indeed useful. As expected, the heirs of the Legalist family have unique insights into leading troops to fight. If it weren't for Han Lingkun, the soldiers of the Song Clan would not know how to defend the city, and it would be impossible to take more than [-] Northern Han captives so quickly. And immediately let them play the role of defending the city. I didn’t know that Zhuge Liang was also a descendant of the Legalist school, no wonder he was so good at fighting, but he was a bit weak in governing the country.”

"Actually, the legalist idea of ​​governing the country is correct. 'Govern the country by the law. Don't separate friends and relatives. Lawbreakers will be pursued. No distinction is made between high and low.' It's just that it can't be done now. Just like the four words of killing for life, it doesn't depend on anyone. It works on everyone’s body, and the blood of countless people is on your hands. If you have to pay for your life, how many times should we die? I’m afraid I don’t even know it. When there is no emperor in the world, legalism is the right way to rule the country .”

What Zong Xin said was a bit strange, because the four people present all considered themselves to be righteous people, including Zong Xin himself.But they did kill a lot of people, so many that they couldn't even count them. Since it was Guo Wei, a veteran who was born in the battlefield, how many people died in his hands, he couldn't even count.

The word law represents two meanings, fairness and strictness.Only by being equally strict to everyone can a true law be formed.These are also the two most inapplicable laws in troubled times, so Legalists can only lead troops now, not rule the country.

Guo Wei pursed his lips and said, "My son-in-law, you should explain clearly, can Han Lingkun be used?"

"Of course it can be used. The person I recruited can not only be used, but also be reused. It's just...you have to be careful and let him lead the army to fight. Don't let him participate in governing the country, or there will be big troubles."

"I told you earlier, it's a waste of so much saliva." Guo Wei said depressedly: "Now that Zhao Kuangyin is here, can you tell me your plan?"

"Of course, and this has been planned for a long time." Zong Xin said excitedly: "Zhao Kuangyin, do you remember the most important thing we did before we left Yandao?"

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, then said: "Of course I remember... so what?"

Northern Han Barracks
It is only 20 miles away from the west gate of Weizhou. At this time, everyone is ready to go and lined up neatly.After the last war in the Northern Han Dynasty, only more than 1 soldiers returned to the barracks. Liu Chong regrouped again. At this time, the army of the Northern Han Dynasty had reached 4000 soldiers.The Khitan army consisted of 4000 people, and a total of [-] people were divided into two teams. This time, the goal was clear, and they didn't care about anything. They just rushed to the city wall of Weizhou and started killing.

Cooking at three o'clock and sending troops at five o'clock, everything is very formal.The team headed straight to Weizhou in a mighty way. No matter how many creatures were disturbed along the way, it didn't matter to Liu Chong. 4000 people attacked the city, and the enemy army only had more than 1 people guarding it. The combat power was not at the same level at all. Tired also exhausted this group of people to death.

This time, it doesn't matter what Zongxin's plan is, no matter how good his attacking technique is, just keep his eyes closed and charge forward, nothing will fail.After all, with such a huge difference in military strength, there is no need to play any tricks.Before that, I was stupid. I knew that I couldn't play Zong Xin and I had to play with him. This time, this kind of thing will never happen again.

"Chengjun, are you sure Weizhou hasn't done anything during this time?"

Liu Chengjun said: "Father, my son is sure. They didn't even recover and bury the corpses of the soldiers from both sides outside Weizhou, and the city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. It doesn't look like delaying time intentionally, and the corpses of soldiers outside the city were sent out. There was a burst of stench, but they didn't care about it."

Liu Chong nodded and said: "I don't care about the rest, as long as you know that Zong Xin and the others are not doing anything. It seems that there should be 3000 soldiers and horses guarding the city in Weizhou now. Zong Xin has 1 cavalry in his hands. As long as he dismounts, he will be an ordinary soldier. These people should be used to guard the city wall. They are well-equipped and well-trained. It will be a fierce battle. In addition, the Song Clan has [-] taels of troops, all of whom are martial arts practitioners, but it is a pity that they are not skilled. In the battle of defending the city, as long as they can enter the city, these people are not to be feared. There are also thousands of people who were captured. Although there will be huge losses in this battle, as long as Weizhou can be captured, Guo Wei and Song Yan can be captured, and the Great Zhou will be defeated by itself."

Although Liu Chong hated Zong Xin, he was not prepared to take him down. The reason was very simple. Zong Xin, a slippery kid, would definitely run away if he met him. There was no doubt about it.If Zong Xin wanted to escape, almost no one could stop him. This man has high martial arts skills, and the nineteen giant wolves under his seat are extremely fast and invulnerable. If he didn't want to go all out, he would have nothing to do with him, unless there are stronger ones Martial arts masters blocked it.

Liu Chong knew that the only top expert in the Northern Han Dynasty had also defected to Guo Wei, and he had some kind of relationship with Song Yan, so he would betray him?Instead, he went to help Guo Wei who had nothing to do with him. Song Yan's wife, Princess Yongning, was Liu Chengyou's biological sister. Guo Wei's two sons and daughters were persecuted to death by Liu Chengyou.

At the beginning, Liu Chong also saw that the Song clan was too powerful, so he desperately suppressed it, and knowing that Song Yan's wife, Princess Yongning, had a grudge against Guo Wei, he was expected to not rebel, and could only stay in Taiyuan honestly.In the end, such a thing would happen. Guo Wei is big-hearted, and Song Yan is also courageous. The most important thing is... Zong Xin is too powerful. Song Yan must have arranged for Song Yan to leave Taiyuan for Weizhou.

Liu Chong knew that Zong Xin was Lei Hong's third son, Lei Tianyong. When Zong Xin was trapped in the cave, Lei Hong sent soldiers to slaughter everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Chong had no doubts about this. Lei Hong said out, can do it.Anyway, his reputation has never been bad, and he doesn't care about such things anymore.

At that time, the Song Clan took advantage of Lei Hong's strength to leave Taiyuan. He was controlled by Lei Hong all the time, so he couldn't notice the Song Clan's movements at the first time. When he noticed this problem, the Song Clan The relocation has basically been completed.

Obviously, it was Zong Xin who made the bridge and gave the Song Clan this opportunity to escape from Taiyuan.However, he was distracted by the fact that Zong Xin was trapped, and when Zong Xin came out of the cave, he didn't lose any flesh, and the two women beside him were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk, leaving only skin and bones.

This incident also made Liu Chong very afraid of Zong Xin, knowing that he was absolutely extraordinary.Trapped in the cave for a month and a half, although he was hungry, his physical strength and skills showed no signs of weakening. He was not human at all.
