Chapter 568 Brothers Are Different

Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue embraced Zongxin excitedly. Although they had already foreseen that Zongxin would make a strange move, they really did not expect Zongxin to be able to control the weather.The two felt a little strange, Zong Xin had never shown the ability to control the weather before, how many secrets did this shameless monk hide, or... Zong Xin just learned to control the weather?
About this point, Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue dare not guess wildly, because Zong Xin is very mysterious in the first place, even the two people next to the pillow don't know the exact origin of Zong Xin, because Zong Xin is very concerned about the period before Lingyun Temple. He never mentioned time, only that he had lost his memory.But... Zong Xin often mentioned things from his childhood, which also made Zong Xin's claim that he had amnesia untenable.

The second is Zong Xin's learning ability. His learning ability is too strong.Maybe controlling the weather is something that Zong Xin just learned.

Whatever the reason, the result is always good.Murong Yanchao's army was scared away like this, and they will not come back in a short time, everyone can relax.It has been a while since I came to Xuzhou West City from Yandao. Since I came to Xuzhou West City, I have been worried every day. After all, there is a big difference in strength between the two sides, and the city wall of Xuzhou West City is not high, and the new city wall is in order to meet the deadline. It is also not built firmly, if the opponent starts to attack the city...the side will definitely not be able to resist it.

Unexpectedly, Zong Xin could scare away all of Murong Yanchao's tens of thousands of troops with a simple move. Even if these soldiers did not leave, their morale would be completely lost. They dared to fight with others, but if the other party was a superhuman existence, these soldiers would not be able to do so at all. If you don't have the heart to win, then there is no point in fighting this battle.

Only one person present saw the flaw, and that was Zhao Kuangyin.What Zong Xin used just now was clearly...Zhen Xiao Lei Wu Ji, nothing else.Zhen Xiao Lei Wu Ji was only used to increase the atmosphere, and was not really used. As for the weather... I really don't know what's going on.But Zong Xin used Lei Wuji to scare people not once or twice, Zhao Kuangyin always felt that Zong Xin still had a lot of things that he didn't tell himself.

After Zong Xin gave him a wink, he flew to Fan's mansion from the crenel of the tower with light work, deliberately letting everyone see his figure and increasing the morale of all soldiers.Zong Xin wanted to let others know that he was here so that the soldiers should not be afraid.

Morale is a very strange thing. As long as the soldiers are given a reason to win, the soldiers will go forward bravely. Now with this kind of morale, even if they are asked to attack Xuzhou East City, they will rush forward excitedly.

Because they think Zong Xin is no longer a person, but a god.As long as Zong Xin is in town, they will win.

Now that Murong Yanchao had retreated, Fan Zhi also ordered to garrison the city wall, sent scout troops to continue the reconnaissance, and others reinforced the city wall.The city wall of the west city of Xuzhou is still not strong enough, let alone high enough, so it needs to be further strengthened. Only in this way can it last until the beginning of next spring, because Zong Xin has long said that the beginning of next spring will be the day of counterattack, and they must hold on to this place.

Xuzhou Dongcheng
The two brothers Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were excitedly waiting for the news of Murong Yanchao's victory. They watched Murong Yanchao lead the troops out of the city. The two chatted on the tower for a while. It should be so cold, so two jugs of wine and a few plates of meat are very comfortable on the tower.

Li Hongji said: "The weather is really cold. I only wear two clothes in Jinling. Xuzhou is not far from Jinling. How can there be such a big difference in climate?"

"I don't know about that. It's nothing. No matter how cold the weather is, what does it matter to us?" Li Hongmao said with a smile, "I've also heard that there are some very tall mountains that have four seasons. The top of the mountain is winter, and the mountainside is autumn. And spring, the foot of the mountain is summer. How big is a mountain, can it be as big as Jinling to Xuzhou? So, it is normal for the climate to be somewhat different."

"You think I'm stupid?"

"Brother, regardless of our business, our soldiers will arrive in two days. This time we will be responsible for escorting food, grass and military pay to Xuzhou. Big brother knows how to lead troops to fight, I will depend on you from now on, I am not capable, so I will enjoy food, wine and beauties in Jinling, and you will lead troops to fight to calm the left and right.”

Li Hongji thought about it, and suddenly said depressedly: "Why do you go to have fun and I go to suffer?"

"No way, you are the prince, you are the one who wants to be the emperor, I am a prince, and the mission of the prince is to enjoy himself."

Li Hongji felt awkward, but what Li Hongmao said was right. If he became emperor, the next thing would be the same as Li Hongmao said. He worked hard every day, and even risked his life to go out to fight and guard Territory, but Li Hongmao does not have these pressures. He is a prince and has no skills, so he can enjoy the prosperity of the world in Jinling. The worst thing is that no one dares to provoke him.This kind of life is simply beautiful.

Why?The emperor wants to suffer, but the prince enjoys it instead. Is there any justice in the world?The two brothers and one mother are compatriots, and the relationship is so good. The most important thing is that Li Hongji knows Li Hongmao too well. He is indeed not very smart and has no ambitions, so he will definitely live a life of pleasure all the time, even if the Tang Dynasty dies, He didn't really care much, as long as he could keep having fun.

But I am different. On the one hand, I want to develop Datang well and unify the world.But on the other hand, I also hope to be like Li Hongmao, eat, drink and have fun every day, and take a few dog legs out to moles women when I have free time. This is called life.It would be the best if you can leave the fighting and dealing with government affairs to another person.

"Second brother, what do you think if I let the third brother handle the government and lead troops to fight? Then I can eat, drink and have fun every day. Even if I have the status of emperor, I will not suffer." Li Hongji also knows that Li Congjia is powerful, and when he recovers his eyesight , he can do anything.Just let him deal with the troublesome things, and take care of the fun yourself, wouldn't it be good?

Li Hongmao smiled and said, "Brother, brother, I will never betray you. But can you trust Li Congjia? If you have great power, you might try to usurp the throne immediately, let alone enjoying yourself, you won’t even be able to eat a bite of prison food.”

"That's true." Li Hongji said depressedly: "Second brother, what can you do to keep me enjoying myself and develop Datang properly?"

"The method is simple. In fact, we only need to give Li Congjia some troops. For example, if you have [-] in hand, you can give him [-] to attack Wuyue. When the battle is almost done, you can lead the troops to a decisive victory. The credit will be given to you." It's yours. After beating Wu Yue, send him to the frontier to guard the border and defend the land for you. We will have a son at that time. If any kid is good, this kid will learn martial arts from Li Congjia. When that kid grows up Wouldn’t it be over if you let him work harder? You just say whoever works the hardest will be given the throne.”

Is Li Hongmao's method feasible?It's a bit confusing, but it's still a way of thinking, and it's not bad to be a little shameless.Since it is the last item, it is very good to ask him to worship Li Congjia as his teacher after he has a child.As for other matters, we can discuss them later.

"Second brother, is it a little..."

"Shameless, right?"

Li Hongji nodded, not a little shameless, but too shameless.

Li Hongmao smiled and said: "I'm just giving an opinion, you don't have to accept it, anyway, I have nothing else to do, as long as I live well. At that time, you can just give me a throne and give me some troops to protect myself. Give me some salary every year, and I will live my own life, and I will ask you for help when I have difficulties."

"Envy~ I'm really envious. Hearing what you said, I don't even want to be an emperor anymore. Being a prince is the most carefree." Li Hongji said, "But I know that if I didn't become the emperor, you wouldn't be able to be so carefree. otherwise……"

"Come on, I will never be the emperor. If I are allowed to be the emperor, the Tang Dynasty will be defeated by me in a few years."

"I know, I didn't say I would hand over the throne to you." Li Hongji said: "Although there are many inconveniences in being an emperor, being an emperor is the best. I don't want to give up this opportunity. I just think that my father is in good health now. , we have nothing to worry about for the time being, our son will almost grow up when the emperor dies, so we don't need to worry about it then."

Li Hongmao raised his glass and said, "Then thank you for your hard work, brother, I would like to offer you a toast."

"Do~!"

"Do~!"

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Then dust flew in the distance, and a large group of horsemen walked towards Xuzhou City.The speed is not fast, but the momentum is amazing.

Both Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were shocked, how could this happen?Didn't Murong Yanchao just go out?Could it be that he was robbed and killed by the enemy army, and now the enemy army has returned to Xuzhou.I just received a reply from the spies yesterday. It will take three days for Chai Rong to reach the west city of Xuzhou with an army of [-]. Could it be that the information is wrong?

Li Hongji suddenly thought that Zong Xin's soldiers were like gods. Could it be that the spies were from Zong Xin's side, and they pretended that it would take a long time to arrive, and then secretly ambush.When Murong Yanchao led his troops to call for formation, he suddenly attacked, and now nearly [-] troops are coming to kill Xuzhou City, is that okay?

On second thought, Murong Yanchao wasn't so weak that he was killed just as soon as he went out?It shouldn't be.Besides, there was no ambush between the two cities. If he was lying on the side of the road, he would have been discovered long ago, and the scouts had been wandering around the west city of Xuzhou, so how could they not have discovered the tens of thousands of troops entering the city.

Even thinking of the worst outcome, Murong Yanchao's troops were indeed ambushed, but with Murong Yanchao's skill, they should be able to escape, and it is impossible for the entire army to be wiped out. At least they can escape a little.

After thinking for so long, Li Hongji was finally able to confirm one thing, this unit belonged to Murong Yanchao, as for why he came back right after he left... I don't know, maybe he forgot something.Isn't it so sloppy, when you lead soldiers to fight and go home to get things?
