Chapter 501 Migration Plan
"What about the other part of the reason?" Yaochi asked quickly, because she thought it was very strange for Zong Xin to do this.

Zong recognized: "The civil strife in the Khitan is not a good thing for the Central Plains. We live in sorrow and die in peace. We must let the Khitan put pressure on the Central Plains again, so as to promote the development of the Central Plains. Yeluruan is also a poor monk who personally supported the superior to become emperor. But the emperor Yeluruan is too powerful. If he were to rule Khitan, it would not take many years for the Khitan to march south and settle down in the Central Plains. The poor monk supported Yeluruan's ascension to the throne only to temporarily stabilize the situation in Khitan, otherwise The Khitan has split now. After the situation in the Khitan stabilizes, they will support Yelujing to ascend the throne, and then Yeluzhen will assist them. This plan is perfect."

The entire Song Clan was at a loss. Why did Zong Xin do these things?What is he thinking?
"Grandpa, finish your sentence at once, lest the two sides start fighting, which is not good for anyone."

Zong Xin nodded, and told a complete story of his trip to Khitan, including his inner activities.After listening to it, the mood of the entire Song Clan became much calmer. Zong Xin's idea was indeed right. Although he went to Khitan half-voluntarily to quell the civil strife, part of it was because of Yeluzhen's threat.

In fact, in Zong Xin's mind, there is no difference between Khitan people and Han people. The reason why Zong Xin did this was to obtain the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Technique. He only learned about the Huo Qilin on the way, so he changed his mind and prepared to go. Look for the fire unicorn.

Song Yan frowned, and then said: "Young master, you are an eminent monk, so ordinary people like you can't keep up with your thinking. But as far as I can see, there is no need for you to make this trip at all, and let Khitan split up." Isn't it better?"

"Father-in-law, the Khitan cannot be split, and it will not be split either. Even if it is temporarily split, Yeluzhen will help Yelvjing integrate the Khitan within a few years. If it really becomes like that... Yelvjing may not be what it is now. Zong Dao said: "If Yelvjing used his own ability to conquer the country, he will become a wise king, and it will be a real catastrophe for the Central Plains at that time. But if Yelvjing can easily get the throne , he is a tyrant, would you rather let the enemy country have a wise king, or a tyrant?"

Song Yan nodded, Zong Xin's words made sense.In fact, even if the Khitan split, with Yeluzhen's martial arts and military capabilities, and the Khitan's original strength, it would take only a few years for the Khitan to be reunited.If Yelujing was allowed to go through such a period of hard work, he would naturally be a generation of Mingjun.But let Yelvjing become the emperor now, will he really become a tyrant?

Zong Dao: "Actually, there are many reasons, such as the development of the Song Clan, and the main goal of the Great Zhou. All of these depend on the Khitan recovering their strength to continue. If the Khitan is over like this, then Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty will not take it into account. , After the Chu Kingdom is eliminated, they will immediately turn their guns to attack the Great Zhou. Guo Wei’s current strength is not enough to compete with the Great Tang. What’s more, if the Northern Han Dynasty takes advantage of the situation and raises troops, Guo Wei will be attacked by the enemy, and then he will die.”

Song Yan nodded and said: "So it turns out that if Khitan regains its strength and overwhelms Cangzhou, then Li Jing will not dare to attack Guo Wei, and Guo Wei will be able to deal with Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty with all his strength."

"It's more than half right, but the final goal is wrong." Zong Xin said with a light smile: "It's not Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty that Guo Wei wants to deal with, but Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty. Strong, but occupying the dangerous land of Taiyuan, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Guo Wei is at odds with Liu Chong, he will be dragged down sooner or later. Therefore, it is the most sensible way to deal with Tang Lijing first. Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, the Jiangnan people cannot fight. , they are absolutely no match for Guo Wei's wolf and tiger divisions, and it will not be too late to control the Tang Dynasty first, and then find an opportunity to deal with the Northern Han."

"Okay, my uncle has no plans to spare, and he is really powerful." Song Yandao: "Then what should I do next?"

"Originally the poor monk wanted to take you out of Taiyuan, and even prepared 10,000+ troops, but now it seems that there is no need for this." Zong said: "Be patient for a few more months, at most half a year, the Khitan army will definitely Send out troops on a large scale. At that time, the Song Clan will send troops to Youyun Sixteen Prefectures in line with the slogan of serving the people of the world, and then slowly send the soldiers of the Song Clan to other places to establish a base camp. When the Song Clan is in Taiyuan, you have to watch Liu Chong But as long as the Song Clan is not in Taiyuan, he will have to eat based on your face, because your salt must be a very important economic income for Liu Chong."

When Song Yan thought about it, it made sense.And he originally planned to do this, but his soldiers had no reason to leave Taiyuan, and after leaving Taiyuan, Song Yan didn't know where to settle, and where could someone support these tens of thousands of soldiers.

As for the 10,000+ army that Zong Xin said, it should be the soldiers in Lei Hong's hands. As Lei Hong's best son, Lei Hong's love for Zong Xin can be said to have surpassed his love for his family business and reputation. Zong Xin can take it away if he wants to.

However, it should not be necessary for the time being. Zong Xin has a more perfect plan to let the Song Clan leave Taiyuan in a fair manner. Liu Chong is powerless to stop this matter. This is also good news.As long as you know this in advance, you can prepare in advance, and go directly to the battle when the time comes, catching Liu Chong by surprise.

Under normal circumstances, if he didn't know this in advance, he would have to come back even if he led troops out, because the Song Clan still had a lot of undecided matters, so they couldn't just leave like this.

Of course Liu Chong also thinks so, so he will never object to the first expedition, and after the first expedition, he will find someone to carefully watch the people left by the Song Clan, and he will know if there is any change in these people. The clan had a different intention, and immediately raised troops to deal with the clan of Song.At that time, the soldiers and horses of the Song Clan were still in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and Song Yan didn't even care about it.

But Liu Chong must have never imagined that the Song Clan started preparations half a year ago, moving all the important people and items in advance little by little, and never returning after leading the troops away.

"Then it's settled like this. The old man immediately started to prepare for the relocation of all the Song Clan. But my lord, where is it better for the Song Clan to move?"

Zong Dao: "As long as you leave the border of the Northern Han Dynasty, how about staying in Weizhou on Hebei Road?"

"Weizhou?" Song Yan took a deep breath and said, "That's very close to Taiyuan. The distance between the two places is at most five hundred miles. If the Northern Han Dynasty attacks aggressively, the Song Clan will be the first to know."

"That's right, the Song Clan took a firm foothold in Weizhou and helped Guo Wei resist the Northern Han Dynasty. Although it was a little hard work, it was of great benefit to the Song Clan's reputation, and it could train troops well. The Song Clan not only fought against Khitan, but also Fighting against the Northern Han Dynasty, people all over the world will definitely look at the Song Clan with admiration, and then the Song Clan will become a big marketer in Yandao, and the father-in-law will get the name and benefit, so why not do it? It will be convenient for future actions."

Song Yan thought for a while, and then said: "The general trend of the world, people's hearts are the most important. Since my uncle came up with this method, then I will trust you once."

Princess Yongning said: "Zong Xin, your wishful thinking is really good. Guo Wei took over my Liu family, and now I ask my family to help Guo Wei resist my uncle, so that Guo Wei can fight Datang with all his strength. As for Cangzhou , with Wei Wang Fu Yanqing and Qi Wang Gao Xingzhou, Guo Wei doesn't have to worry about it. How much does my family owe Guo Wei? Just giving us a little salt is too bad."

Of course Princess Yongning was upset, because Jiangshan originally belonged to their Liu family.But her younger brother Liu Chengyou didn't live up to it and lost Jiangshan.Princess Yongning is also a daughter's family, she can't make the decision at all.Under the circumstances at that time, Liu Chengyou would definitely die. Whoever made him want to kill Guo Wei's family would not have caused Guo Wei's resistance.

Even so, Princess Yongning still thinks that Jiangshan should belong to her family, why should she help Guo Wei now that she has no official position, no throne, no salary.No matter how I think about it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. How much does Zong Xin have to help Guo Wei before he is willing to give up?

Zong Dao: "Princess Yongning is mainly unwilling. I said that sooner or later the world will be named Song. It is impossible to make a big deal without a little sacrifice. What's more... this is for the hearts of the people. If you are unpopular, you Song Clan will be fine." If you want to rebel, you will not be recognized by the world, right? Think about Guo Wei, if he is unpopular, how can he win the world?"

"Uncle, you said this." Song Yandao: "The ultimate surname in the world is Song, you can't lie to me."

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong... I just said that the surname of the world will be Song, and it's still early before the end." Zong Dao said: "Today, the three kingdoms of Zhou, Tang, and Shu are the most powerful, but in the future, the combined power of the three kingdoms will not be equal." Your surname Song is powerful, and this surname will last for hundreds of years, is this enough? Of course the good things are left to my own people, or I will ask the Wang Clan to garrison Weizhou."

Song Yan extended his hand and said, "Master, I believe in you. Even if I don't trust other people, can I still not trust my son-in-law? This matter is settled like this, and I promise to satisfy you."

Zong Xin nodded with satisfaction. Since this matter has been settled, it will save a lot of trouble in the future.Lei Hong's army didn't have to go to the Northern Han Dynasty, so it saved some energy.Unexpectedly, Song Yan is quite easy to talk and trusts himself so much, so he will be busy next time.

Although Taiyuan is the capital city of the Northern Han Dynasty, Taiyuan is located almost on the southeast border of the Northern Han Dynasty, so Weizhou is actually very close to Taiyuan. As long as Liu Chong sends troops, the first person to know is Song Yan. As long as Song Yan is guarding, Liu Chong No matter how hard you try to attack, it is useless. As long as the Song Dynasty has enough financial support, it is absolutely impossible for the Northern Han Dynasty to enter the Central Plains with few lands and few people.

What needs to be considered now is... the dragon vein that Liu Chong wanted.It would be a good thing if Liu Chong could be destroyed to obtain the dragon veins. Although Zong Xin always said that the dragon veins were a dispensable thing, he knew very well that the dragon veins still had some effect.
