Kublai Khan asked about Zong Zheng's fraudulent death. Zong Zheng was in a good mood. Knowing that Kublai Khan had put down his guard, he calmly replied,

"The golden cicada escapes its shell.Ww    W.ΩBiQuGe.CN"

Although it is four short words, it contains the essence of a fraudulent death. Liu Bingzhong and Kublai Khan realized after a little thought.

The reason why Zong Zheng only mentioned the point but did not explain it thoroughly was because he did not want to participate in this fraudulent death situation. He was afraid that Kublai Khan would become suspicious of him again. He seemed to have understood Zong Zheng's meaning, so he stopped asking too much about this matter. Instead, he took out the third piece of paper and pointed to the word "separation" above and asked.

"Then what explanation do these two words mean?"

Zong Zheng looked at the word "fenyin" and didn't know where to start for a while.

This "dividing" strategy is used to deal with the martial arts people in the Central Plains. According to the news about the Eight Wolves of Zhongshan last night, the purpose of those martial arts people is probably themselves. Therefore, Zong Zheng planned to use himself as bait to lead these martial arts people out of Ezhou, so that he could rescue Kublai Khan.

However, there are many uncertainties in this matter. First, whether the martial arts people only have the purpose of dealing with themselves is still uncertain. If there is another purpose, the strategy of diversion cannot be completely effective. Second, even if the purpose of these martial arts people is determined to be only dealing with themselves, how can Kublai Khan believe that he can completely lead these martial arts people away?

Zong Zheng thought about it and felt that he could only think of a way to take care of both sides. No matter what the purpose of these martial arts people came here, they could lead them out of Ezhou. This is a safe way.

Therefore, Zong Zheng thought of the strategy of "dividing the quotient". Compared with the two strategies of "peace and spiritual support", although the "dividing the quotient" strategy is the least effective, it is the most troublesome. It is not because of the difficulties, but because it cannot see through it. Since Zong Zheng was chased by martial arts people, he has always been confused. He has also been half-knowing about the thoughts and relationships of martial arts people, and has never seen through the pattern of martial arts.

This time, all martial arts sects gathered in Ezhou for justice and justice in recent years. After years of accumulation of hatred in the martial arts world, they finally found a point of explosiveness. With resentment, they tried their best to find an opportunity to deal with Zong Zheng. Although the Eight Wolves of Zhongshan secretly made some suggestions to Zong Zheng, Zong Zheng still underestimated the people in the martial arts world, or did not see through them.

The key to Zong Zheng’s plan this time is to attract the target. He must act as bait to make it work. However, Zong Zheng is not sure whether Kublai Khan really put his guard down on him. If Kublai Khan had any doubts about him, he would never let him go out of the camp. If he took the initiative to propose it, the purpose would inevitably be too obvious, which would further arouse Kublai Khan’s suspicion.

Zong Zheng paused for a while and put all his concerns aside. He thought of hitting Kublai Khan's key points first, then observing his expression, and then making a statement, and then replied: "If the king's troops who stayed in Ezhou are only dealing with the Song army in Ezhou or any of the Central Plains martial arts worlds, it will be no problem. The king's concern is nothing more than the two attacks together. Now, by means of peacekeeping, the Central Plains martial arts worlds naturally dare not act rashly. However, as long as they stay in Ezhou for one day, the king will not feel at ease for a moment. The strategy I have thought about is to cut off the possibility of joint invasion between the martial arts people and the Song army, and to lead those martial arts people out of Ezhou."

As Zong Zheng said, he hit Kublai Khan's point of view, and Kublai Khan thought to himself: "If these martial arts people can be transferred to Ezhou, it will indeed be lifted."

Zong Zheng knew that this plan was not sure, so he did not dare to speak it all. First, he said it too confidently, and then the plan failed to achieve the desired effect, which would make him feel disturbed. Second, it would easily cause Kublai Khan to doubt it, just like pulling a bow and shooting an arrow, the bow string was too full, and if he bowed too tightly, it would easily break. If he raised half of the difficulties, it would make Kublai Khan believe in himself more.

Zong Zheng saw that Kublai Khan seemed to have a positive attitude, so he took the opportunity to add,

"But I have no certainty about whether the martial arts people can be successfully led away, so I can only try my best." Zong Zheng's speech was frustrated, his tone was pertinent, his face looked difficult, but he had no sense of incongruous deeds.

When Zhang Rou heard this, she stepped forward and asked Zong Zheng politely: "What's the difficulty of Young Master Mei? If we can help, please tell me clearly."

Zong Zheng looked at Zhang Rou, savored what Zhang Rou said, and observed Kublai Khan's expression again. However, he felt that the tension he had before was no longer. Intuition told himself that the crisis had been basically resolved, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, when Zhang Rou asked about her difficulties, there was indeed one problem. Nowadays, it is still uncertain whether their purpose is to deal with him. If there is another plan, he can only lead some people away.

However, Zong Zheng knew that according to his own strategy, he would definitely be able to pull away most of the masters in the martial arts world. In this way, it would be difficult for the remaining people to pose a threat to Kublai Khan. If he really wanted to make a plan against Kublai Khan, he could only wait until the master who chased him solved himself. Only then could he do something.

However, how to respond cleverly in front of many masters and delaying for ten days and half a month is really a problem. Zong Zheng had conceived a plan, which only required dozens of people to help. Therefore, Zhang Rou took the initiative to provide help and Zheng posted the needs of Zhongzong Zheng.

Even if Zhang Rou did not take the initiative to provide inquiries, Zong Zheng was planning to express his request. First, these dozens of people were indeed required for the strategy, and second, these dozens of people were a dose of peace of mind, a mild medicine that made Kublai Khan and the veterans present feel at ease. The tricks must be used as bait. Kublai Khan was suspicious of himself and was naturally afraid of his tricks, so he wanted to send dozens of people to stare at him. But he decisively and proactively proposed that he needed dozens of people to help him, which would inevitably touch Kublai Khan and others.

Besides, Zhang Rou was so attentive and thought about it carefully, and she was indeed solving the problem for Kublai Khan. Zong Zheng looked cheerful and replied to Zhang Judo without hesitation: "General Zhang, I will not hide it from it. What I think of is really your help. I need you to allocate thirty people to help."

When Kublai Khan heard Zong Zheng take the initiative to ask for someone, his eyebrows raised and he felt surprised. After a brief surprise, he felt at ease. When Kublai Khan saw Zong Zheng cheerfully make a request, he replied cheerfully,

"What's wrong with just thirty people?"

When Zong Zheng saw Kublai Khan agree with his heart, he knew that Kublai Khan had agreed to leave the camp and hurriedly replied to thank him.

Everything was discussed and settled, but time was urgent. Kublai Khan thought that if Zong Zheng’s plan was feasible, he would start to implement it tonight.

Kublai Khan had not yet studied and pondered the three wise generals, Zhang Rou, Dong Wenbing and Liu Bingzhong, about the strategy that Zong Zheng thought, but did not dare to believe it completely. He was anxious to take Zong Zheng out of the camp so that Liu Bingzhong and others could discuss it.

Kublai Khan was very conflicted about Zong Zheng at this moment. If such talents can be used for themselves, great things will naturally be accomplished. Then he should show his desire for talent at this time and should fully trust Zong Zheng, so that he can show the sincerity of the king's desire for talent. However, at this time, Zong Zheng is also an extraordinary person. Kublai Khan could only be cautious, cautious and cautious. He wanted to seek talent, give trust, and show sincerity, and had to repay extraordinary people at extraordinary moments. This contradiction made Kublai Khan very confused. In the end, the king chose the compromise strategy, neither fully trusting nor being too cautious.

The compromise attitude is also a helpless choice. All of these are seen by Liu Bingzhong and Zhang Rou. The two veterans can deeply understand Kublai Khan's difficulties and constraints as kings.

In Liu Bingzhong's eyes, the compromise attitude at this time is indeed the best strategy. After all, it gives everything a room for maneuver. If Zong Zheng's strategy can indeed solve the prince's predicament, in the future, the prince will surrender and beg for every effort, and naturally win back the talented man's desire to help. However, if Zong Zheng is a spy and the mistake of a general affects the three armies, then there will be no room for everything to turn around. If he thinks carefully, only this compromise attitude can leave room for everything.

Kublai Khan was eager to consider the ideas of Zong Zheng’s strategy with Liu Bingzhong and other veterans. Zong Zheng knew it very well, so he didn’t want Kublai Khan to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to say, “Prince, generals, the strategy has been clear, it’s getting late, and sleepiness has arisen. Mei is going to go back to rest, please forgive me for taking a leave.” Then he was about to leave.

Zhang Rou said politely: "Young Master Mei won't stay for a moment, will you accompany me to discuss it carefully?"

Zong Zheng knew that this was Zhang Rou's polite words, so he replied politely: "Last night, I spent my night watching the moon with the king. Today I thought about my plan and couldn't rest well. It was getting late, so I was really sleepy." As he said that, he pretended to yawn and pressed his hands on his mouth.

Kublai Khan thought that it would be inappropriate if he only let Zong Zheng leave. First, it would be a bit xenophobic and he showed his narrow-mindedness; second, there was a lot of troops outside ambushing outside, and Zong Zheng left the camp alone, for fear that the soldiers outside would misunderstand.

Thinking that Zhang Xi had nothing to do next, Kublai Khan said to Zhang Xi, "Zhang Xi, Jie Cheng, you two should send Young Master Mei to me!"

Zhang Xi reconciled Jie Cheng to accept the order and walked out of the tent with Zong Zheng.

Zong Zheng walked out of the tent, and a refreshing wind blew over his face. Looking at the bright moon above his head, he couldn't help but take a deep breath of air conditioning. The two levels inside and outside the tent were also completely different.

Zong Zheng subconsciously scanned the surroundings. With the moonlight, Zong Zheng could still see those silent figures hiding in the darkness.

A murderous aura was hidden around. If it weren't for the two veterans Zhang Xi and Jie Cheng coming to escort, I'm afraid that Zong Zheng would attack him within a few steps from the camp.

While walking back to the camp, Zong Zheng's mind still flashed through the situation of discussing the strategy with Kublai Khan and others just now. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so dangerous. If you didn't notice it in time and respond in time, you may not know if you say the wrong thing and cause a disaster."

Zhang Xi reconciled Cheng Anran to the camp where he was resting and said goodbye. Zong Zheng thanked the two, and watched them leave and hurried into the camp after watching them leave.
