Zhao Han said that we do not have a large army in our hands, and we have to deal with the four thousand Qinzhou soldiers, so we can only take advantage of our wisdom and not be able to fight against the enemy.

The key to this wisdom lies in the head of the palace soldiers, Meng Liang.

The reason why Meng Liang was involved in rebellion was not only because of his possible interests in Dugu Tai, but also because of his resentment towards the Tang Dynasty court.

Lord Zong once said that Meng Liang was born as a surrendered general.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that although he had made countless military achievements for the Tang Dynasty, he was always a sixth-rank cavalry general.

All dynasties have been full of suspicion and suppression of surrendered generals.

Some surrendered generals were even falsely accused of conviction and eventually beheaded.

In this situation, Meng Liang will inevitably feel resentful and will be afraid of his future.

At this time, if there was a Tuyuhun royal family who promised him various high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he would inevitably rebel and turn against the Tang Dynasty again.

Zong Changyue nodded and said yes, and asked Zhao Han what countermeasures he had.

Zhao Han said, but let’s not forget that Meng Liang has been in the border army for many years and is fighting Tuyuhun.

He didn't know how many Tuyuhun people he killed, and those Hu people hated him to the core.

Could it be that Meng Liang changed to Tuyuhun, and he didn’t have any worries?

Although the Tang Dynasty suppressed him, there was no major storm over the years.

Tuyuhun is a new piece of land, full of unknowns.

Furthermore, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been in great prosperity. It was defeated by the Tuyuhun Army a few years ago, and its military power spread far and wide to the Western Regions.

Meng Liang would definitely weigh in on the Tang Dynasty or Tuyuhun, which is stronger, which is weaker, and which is safer.

The reason why he joined forces with Dugu Tai this time was because he had concerns about the Tang Dynasty and wanted to find a backer.

Zong Changyue understood.

He said, so as long as we can dispel Meng Liang's concerns, there will be a turning point in this matter.

Zhao Han nodded and said, as long as he could promise Meng Liang a high official and generous salary, and in the name of the Chang'an court, he would ensure that he would no longer be suspicious and suppress him in the future.

Meng Liang is a smart person.

I think he will definitely know which side is the best choice between Datang or Tuyuhun.

Zong Changyue nodded and said that this plan was very good.

Zhao Han said that if this matter is accomplished, someone must go to Meng Liang for an interview in person.

And you must go alone and cannot bring any troops. Only in this way can you be sincere and truly impress him.

Zong Changyue said, I am the governor of the Qinzhou marching in Qinzhou, and no one can convince him more than I told him.

I immediately disguised myself and took a walk to Mengliang Military Mansion.

At this time, Zhang Mochen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

He said, I advise Lord Zong, you should be careful.

Meng Liang is my mentor. I have been under his custody for many years. In my eyes, he has always been a very good person.

Although I don't know why he became like this today.

But I know very well that although Mr. Meng seems casual on weekdays, he is definitely not a person who is easily convinced.

This is the time when the two armies are facing each other. Lord Zong, you, as our commander, go deep into the enemy camp alone. If there is any change, it will be a disaster.

Zong Changyue said that he certainly understood.

As early as a few years ago, he and Meng Liang met that time.

He had already seen that this rude Meng Tongjun was actually an old world who had been practicing for a long time and was unfathomable.

But now, there is no better way.

And if he really has something unexpected, there are still Master Zhao and Lord Zhang here, so he is not afraid.

So Zong Changyue went to Meng Liang's military camp, and there was a scene of Meng Liang turning against him later.

"Sir, how did you convince him?" Zhao Han said.

"Nothing else," said Zong Changyue, "It's just Master Zhao, what do you say, Zong will say."

"Then what?"

"Then he believed it."

Zhao Han and Zong Changyue looked at each other and laughed.

"Master Zhao came to find Zong, I think it wasn't just for Meng Liang's business, right?"

"certainly."

Zhao Han said all the latest clues and inferences he has in the current "human ghost case".

Zong Changyue's expression became solemn:

"I didn't expect that there was such a profound background behind this case, even the pseudo-Qin royal family was involved."

He thought about it and said:

"Dugu Tai, the reason why he pretended to be an evil ghost and killed people.

First, you can secretly kill other rebel generals and take the jade pieces in their hands as your own.

Secondly, you can create panic in Shangqi, raise up and cause trouble for him, and create excuses and opportunities.

In order to ensure that his tricks were smooth, he cried in the Ghost and assassinated the imperial envoy to solve the case, and used the intervention of the court.

In Qin'an Valley, the ghost-elimination master was assassinated to eliminate the civilian involvement.

In front of the county government office, find a scapegoat to behead him to win the hearts of the people.

I will send monsters late at night to harm Master Zhao and Miss Ling to eliminate the key people who solved the case.

Then, Dugu Tai contacted the Tuyuhun Army in a secret letter and jointly invaded. Later, he saw that the matter might be exposed, and then he suddenly set off an army to control the entire Shangqiu City.

In the future, he can act cheaply depending on the progress of the situation.

If the Tuyuhun Army progresses smoothly, we will drive straight forward.

He could reveal the true identity of the Tuyuhun royal family, lead the troops to cooperate with them inside and outside, and take over Qinzhou and even the entire Longyou in one fell swoop.

If the Tuyuhun army is blocked, they may even retreat.

He can also eliminate all insiders, such as you and me, in the name of "uprising an army to quell the rebellion".

Then, the "evil ghost" crime of the "human head ghost case" was placed on you and me, saying that the case was finally solved.

In this way, he made another "great contribution" and could continue to be his senior official of the Tang Dynasty, waiting for the time to come and reign in chaos in the future.

And secretly, he could continue to collect all the jade seals to find the so-called "shocking secret" behind it.

Be sure to be successful and be foolproof.

This Dugu Tai is such a good plan..."

Zong Changyue sighed and said with a smile:

"It's a pity that he has calculated everything, but he didn't count this in Shangji City, and you are there Master Zhao.

Finally, the effort was lost, and the whole game was lost."

Zong Changyue also said that since Dugu Tai is an "evil ghost".

Then he has failed and was arrested. As long as the rest of the party is eliminated one by one, this "human ghost case" that has harmed Qinzhou for a long time will be solved.

This trip to Zong can be considered as an explanation to the court.

Zhao Han shook his head:

"If it was before last night, I would have reached such a conclusion like you, sir.

But now, I don’t think so anymore.”

"Why?" Zong Changyue was a little puzzled.

"Because Dugu Tai is not an evil ghost at all."

Zhao Han's expression was a little serious.

He said that last night, he said that:

"What if I say, the head you have been looking for for sixteen years but haven't found, is here with me?"

It was the time to die at the last minute and feel the most nervous.

At this time, if you suddenly ask someone something that he thinks the most but cannot solve.

Even if a person is a cunning person, he will inevitably feel fluctuated in his heart.

When Dugu Tai suddenly heard this question, of course, he would be surprised.

Because he never expected that besides the seventeen people, there was someone else who knew what happened in Qinxing’s palace back then.
