Chapter 849 The Ins and Outs
Wei Renpu thought for several days but couldn't figure it out. He thought Zhao Kuangyin succeeded in assassinating Zhao Jiliang, but someone later told Zhao Kuangyin that he hadn't succeeded, which made Wei Renpu completely confused.

However, Wei Renpu directly won the control of the four states, and actively deployed defenses to prevent Zhao Jiliang from killing a carbine.Although I don't know what the situation is, how could the good opportunity of the enemy's retreat be missed?If it is possible for them to defend the city, it is absolutely impossible for them to retreat.

It wasn't until Zheng Ziming brought his troops back to find Wei Renpu that he figured out the whole thing. It turned out that it was Zhao Kuangyin who stationed troops in Liangshan, and it was a good move.The troops in Liangshan are like a sharp blade stuck in the throat of the defense line, and this time they are attacking Fengzhou. They have no chance to reinforce Fengzhou. Unless Hanzhong has more than [-] troops, they will be held back by the Liangshan army. .

I don't know whether Zhao Kuangyin did it on purpose or not, Wei Renpu can only think that he did it on purpose, otherwise the whole thing cannot be justified.This time he made a great achievement. If Zhao Kuangyin just wanted to assassinate Zhao Jiliang, he just found a place to garrison troops, and he would transfer these soldiers after he was ready to do so... It's hard to say, but no matter how you think about it, it's Zhao Kuangyin's fault.

According to Wei Renpu's understanding of Zhao Kuangyin, he really just found a random place to station troops, and all his thoughts were to assassinate Zhao Jiliang.He believed that as long as Zhao Jiliang died, the Shu army would be defeated.This idea is indeed correct, but the Hanzhong defense line will not be broken after Zhao Jiliang's death. They will still send troops to reinforce, but it will be easier to fight then.

But the place he chose was too sinister, so he chose Liangshan to garrison troops.In this way, troops sent from Hanzhong to Fengzhou and Qinzhou will be intercepted, and Zheng Ziming learned that they still defeated the Hanzhong cavalry by accident, which also made Hanzhong less mobile for reinforcements, and they could even directly attack Hanzhong City. .

Liangshan's position was chosen very well, but it was definitely Zhao Kuangyin's luck, and it was definitely not because he was familiar with the art of war and saw the flaws in the Hanzhong defense line.

Wei Renpu knew that this must not be said when he returned to Bianliang City to report to His Majesty, otherwise the entire Golden Palace civil and military officials, including His Majesty Chai Rong, would also be depressed.So it can only be said that Zhao Kuangyin deliberately stationed troops in Liangshan, cutting off the reinforcements of the Shu Kingdom, and at the same time preparing for the attack on Hanzhong.

It was not until after meeting Wei Renpu that Zhao Kuangyin and his party figured out what was going on.It wasn't that Zhao Jiliang was too old to give orders indiscriminately, but that he knew that there was a huge loophole in the defense line without Wu Yan and Hong Yu, so he was forced to gather his troops in Hanzhong to preserve a glimmer of hope for Shu.

Everyone knows that as long as Hanzhong is still there, they can send troops to take back the four states at any time.But if Hanzhong is broken, then Shu will be trapped in Sichuan forever, waiting for others to beat him, and there will never be a bright future.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It turned out to be like this. I have been wondering why a veteran in the battlefield like Zhao Jiliang would give such an order. The four prefectures that were finally captured were just to be returned. As a result, Zhao Jiliang thought that I planned to attack Hanzhong directly. The four prefectures were recalled to save Hanzhong. I really didn’t expect Liangshan to be so important. I was just tired from walking. There is no real plan to attack Hanzhong.”

"I know...but don't say that when you go back. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain this problem. You have not only done nothing, but you have done it. As the commander-in-chief, you directly throw the army to the lieutenant general, and then go to assassinate the opponent's coach. This kind of thing If His Majesty finds out, he will punish you, and he will punish you heavily." Wei Renpu also knew the seriousness of this matter, not only Zhao Kuangyin was at fault, but even his army staff officer was also guilty.In order to protect Zhao Kuangyin and himself, he cannot be allowed to talk nonsense.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. After meeting His Majesty, of course I will say that this is my long-planned plan, but Zhao Jiliang is more skilled. This time he only recaptured the four states and failed to capture Hanzhong, so he will be guilty in the end. . In this way, everyone has face."

"It's good to know, I'm afraid you're talking nonsense. Your personality is the same as Zong Xin's, but you don't have the ability of Zong Xin. He can talk nonsense, but you are not good enough. However, the failure to assassinate Zhao Jiliang this time surprised me very much. , Zhao Kuangyin, with your martial arts... let alone Zhao Jiliang, even Meng Chang in the palace might not be able to hide from you. Now there are no martial arts masters in Shu, who injured you?"

"Actually, there is only one person who can really hurt me. Can't you guess it?"

"Zong Xin? Impossible."

"Of course he won't deal with me openly, but he taught Sun Fangzheng how to restrain my martial arts. As a result, Sun Fangzheng beat me to the point of being powerless. Fortunately, I was smart, and after escaping, I suddenly launched an attack. Sun Fangzheng didn't expect that I was seriously injured by this move, otherwise, how could I have survived to this day? Zong Xin, the grandson, if my martial arts weren't a little bit worse than him, I would definitely beat him up."

Zhao Kuangyin was angry when he mentioned this matter, if Zong Xin hadn't taught Sun Fangzheng martial arts, he would not have fallen into this situation.

Wei Renpu chuckled and said: "So that's it. Master Zongxin is really a master. If you hadn't been seriously injured and unconscious, maybe we wouldn't have been able to take down the four states. Master Zongxin's hand is so beautiful~~ Not only can he beat you to vent your anger, It can also allow us to successfully capture the four states without bloodshed, which is also in line with the principles that Master Zong Xin has always done."

"He has a fart principle, as long as you provoke him, you will die. There is no bloodshed. Last time Liu Chong provoked him, he killed all 5 people in his account. His hands have far more lives than mine. More than hundreds of times."

Wei Renpu nodded and said: "That's right. Anyway, thanks to Master Zong Xin this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to meet up. Although you were injured a little, but it seems that there is nothing serious, and we have successfully completed His Majesty's instructions to take back the four states." Isn't this a good thing? Master Zong Xin will only vent your anger on you, and will never harm you."

Although Zhao Kuangyin felt that what Wei Renpu said made sense, he was still upset, and very upset.It's a pity that Zong Xin can't be defeated now, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to be so carefree and happy.However, Zhao Kuangyin's admiration for Zong Xin never diminished. Zong Xin reconciled with Meng Chang and taught Sun Fangzheng to restrain himself in martial arts.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that Zong Xin didn't have the ability to pinch and count, but the two dragon souls in his body were very powerful. It is estimated that these two dragon souls in his body told him these things.This trick was really good, and it helped me solve a big problem.

If Zong Xin did not guide Sun Fangzheng in martial arts, the result may be that he and Sun Fangzheng would lose both sides. Even if he could kill Zhao Jiliang, he would return to Liangshan and lead his troops to retreat to attack Chengzhou. Hanzhong would still send troops to reinforce Fengzhou and Chengzhou , I don't know how long this battle will last, and I don't know how many people will die.

Zong Xin felt that he was too stupid and was in the way, so he deliberately let Sun Fangzheng hurt him. Then he knew that the final result would be that his army had been stationed in Liangshan, forcing Zhao Jiliang to withdraw and stick to Hanzhong.This really saves a lot of trouble, and to be honest, I should thank him.

However, Zhao Kuangyin's depression had nothing to do with reality, he just wanted to beat him anyway.There is no other reason.

Tao Hu said in admiration: "Master Zong Xin is as powerful as in the legends. He didn't participate in this matter at all, but he was able to help you capture the four states behind the scenes, and he did so without bloodshed. How powerful is Master Zong Xin's art of war? "

Wei Renpu smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to ask about this kind of thing carefully, because no one in the world can answer it. It is estimated that only the belated Taoist can be compared with Master Zong Xin. It's just that this matter needs to be kept secret and cannot be let People in the Kingdom of Shu know that Master Zong Xin did it on purpose, because Zhao Kuangyin is proficient in using the art of war, and only by saying this can Zhao Kuangyin and I not be punished."

"I see."

Wei Renpu said: "That's what we say, but we must be clear in our hearts. The biggest heroes this time are Zheng Ziming and Tao Hu brothers. If they hadn't led the cavalry troops to Liangshan, our army successfully attacked and severely damaged the Shu army, and let Zhao Jiliang Sun Fangzheng found out that we are stationed in Liangshan, maybe this will not happen at all, and Zhao Jiliang will not withdraw the troops from the four states, he will only send troops to reinforce Fengzhou. And our army will not go out to intercept the reinforcements. We are still uncomfortable at times, General Zhao, you have no objection to this point."

"I have no objection to this. It is indeed their credit. If you don't say it, I really haven't found it." Zhao Kuangyin's reaction was indeed a bit slow, but as long as you think about this kind of problem, you can understand it. The real hero is Zheng Zheng Ziming and Tao Hu.

"Since General Zhao has no objection, when you return to Bianliang, you have to report to His Majesty and ask him to reward you for your merits. Your Majesty's reward doesn't count, but you still have to reward him."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Of course I have to reward you. You two brothers and sisters Tao Sanchun and Tao Hu not only saved me, but also helped our army capture the four states. I will reward you with 1 taels of silver, which is quite a lot."

"No, this 1 taels is for me alone, and you didn't count my brother's credit." Tao Sanchun said: "At the beginning, you promised to give me 1 taels of silver, but now it is not acceptable to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. "

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you an extra 1 taels, can I give you a total of [-] taels?"

"No, we don't need so much money, you can just give my brother some official position." Tao Sanchun is still smart, 1 taels is too much, and the two siblings can't spend it all in their lifetime.So they don't need any money, and if they can give the younger brother an official position, it won't be a waste of the martial arts he has practiced over the years.
