Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 273

Hearing Su Chen's reply, Xu Qingwan's expression showed a little disappointment. In her heart, she longed for Su Chen to give a long speech, point out the country, and make suggestions for the situation in the Kingdom of Shu, so that her good friend, Mrs. Huarui, could feel at ease. So lonely and helpless, I feel hopeless.

But Su Chen's words were very calm, and he said the most crucial point of the war, which is the competition of national power, military power, and financial power. It is definitely not the case that a strategist can say that the Song army will retreat with a three-inch tongue.

This is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when strategists can lobby everywhere.

"Is there really no way?" Talented Xu showed anxiety.

Su Chen sensed the ardent gaze of Xu Talented Girl, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Shu and Tang have a close relationship. Shu cannot compete with Song, so we can only seek help from other vassal states."

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said, "However, among the other states, no one dares to contend against Song, and it's too late to evade. No one will really send troops to aid Shu!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, and analyzed: "At present, Song State's national power is gradually growing, and it already has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers and unify the world. Zhao Guan's family is also a great talent and strategy, and he knows how to use soldiers. He strategizes in Bianjing City. Shu State is only his goal after annexing Jingchu. , After the fall of the Shu Kingdom, it will be the Southern Han Dynasty, the Min Kingdom that exists in name only, and then coerce Wu and Yue to become a vassal, and finally encircle the largest Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. This should be the strategy of the Zhao officials to unify the south."

Xu Qingwan frowned: "So, our country of Tang will be very dangerous in the end."

Su Chen nodded and said: "Of course, Miss Xu..."

"Call me Qingwan!" Xu Qingwan corrected his address.

"Okay, Qingwan!" Su Chen called her by her name obediently, and suddenly felt that her friendship had deepened, and continued: "You have read so many history books, you should be able to understand that the world's major events must be divided for a long time, and they must be united for a long time. Nowadays, in the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty, The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms fought for nearly a hundred years until they were replaced by the Song Dynasty in the Later Zhou Dynasty. The northern court gradually became stronger and had the strength to annex other countries, so the historical trend will move towards unification."

"The general trend of history!" Xu Qingwan muttered these few words, feeling quite touched, she looked at Su Chen, and felt that he looked at problems from a long-term perspective, breaking away from the standpoint of family and country, giving people a sense of great wisdom Feel.

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit and watch the country fall, the mountains and rivers shatter, and the south of the Yangtze River be captured! I heard that most of the soldiers and horses of the Song army are the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and there are many Hu people in it. Many subjugated people in the prefectures rebelled against the rule of the Song Dynasty, and many merchants and gentry in Yangzhou were looted by the Song army, and tens of thousands of Huainan people died. Once Jiangnan fell, we and our clansmen would suffer.”

Xu Qingwan expressed her worries, and the news came from Jiangbei.

Su Chen said truthfully: "I don't know the government of Shu Kingdom. I don't know how many troops they have, how their armor is, whether their military rations are sufficient, whether the king has courage, etc. I don't know, so I can't think for Shu Kingdom. I have come up with a strategy. However, as a native of Tang, I sometimes think about how Tang will face the Song army's attack in the future, and how we can win over our allies so that Tang can turn the crisis into peace."

Xu Qingwan asked: "Then have you thought about it?"

Su Chen talked eloquently: "It's nothing more than two points. One is to strengthen oneself. This is the foundation. To strike iron, you need to be hard on yourself; the other is to make allies and let others understand that we need to unite to fight against the strength of the Song Kingdom."

Xu Wanqing asked curiously: "Yixuan, have you already taken precautions and considered these state affairs?"

Su Chen was silent for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "This is also the reason why I chose the imperial examination. Being an official can contribute more to the Tang State, and using some of my own ideas to implement with the help of the Sun Party may strengthen the Tang State's strength. .”

"In terms of allies, we can make friends from afar and attack from a distance. On the one hand, we can send people to communicate with Qidan in the grassland, Dangxiang in Xiazhou, Zhefu in Linzhou in the northwest, etc., so as to hold back the Song Dynasty and use troops; The three places, connecting the southeast of the Tang Kingdom with the coastline in this way, can grow salt there, expand maritime exchanges, obtain more business contacts, and solve the increasingly embarrassing financial and treasury vacancies of the Tang Kingdom."

These are the strategies Tang Guo recently considered to deal with the predicament in his spare time while studying. Although they are still immature, and there are even many details that have not been mentioned, the overall idea still has merit.

After listening to this, talented Xu expressed her amazement at Su Chen's unique insights. Seeing that he is not only a talented writer with outstanding literary talent, but also has the ability to govern the country.

Xu Qingwan sighed a little excitedly: "Then I hope that Yixuan can get a Jinshi, and then become an official smoothly, speak for the court, and save the country."

Su Chen listened to the talented woman's praise, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's not that easy. In fact, I think that compared with Song, Tang State lacks a spirit besides national power and military strength. Jiangnan's prostitution is prevalent, and emphasis on literature Suppressing martial arts, not doing practical work, the common people lack a breath of blood."

"Blood?" Xu Qingwan looked suspicious.

Su Chen said: "It is the spirit of blood and courage that dares to fight, bleed, and sacrifice. At present, the people in Jiangzuo are obsessed with singing and dancing, just like a prosperous age. This is the first 30 years of the Tang Dynasty. The illusion brought about. So a few years ago, the fall of the thirteen prefectures in Jiangbei was so easy and powerless. In the future, if the Tang State wants to fight against the Song State, it must arouse the patriotic sentiments of court officials, common people, and knights, and defend their homes. The determination of the country, the brave and fearless martial spirit!"

Xu Qingwan wondered: "However, the secular world has formed such a comfortable state, and the people are content with the status quo, how can we awaken their consciousness?"

Su Chen explained: "This is the reason why I abandoned medicine and followed literature. Medicine can only heal a few patients, but it can't awaken the brave spirit of thousands of people. In this way, they will all be punished by the Song army in a few years. Invasion and massacre, so, I plan to publish more historical martial arts legend novels, mainly to shape the spirit of "the great man of chivalry, serve the country and the people", guide more chivalrous men to contribute to the home country of Jiangnan, so that the common people Love martial arts, have blood!"

Xu Qingwan asked in amazement: "Are you going to publish a legendary novel again? Is it similar to the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

"That sense of refreshment and popularity is not enough. It must be a story that can fascinate the public. My bookstore plans to publish the "Shooting the Condors" trilogy."

Su Chen smiled slightly. He decided to use the story of the hero Guo Jing to inspire some scholars and ordinary people to recognize martial arts, instead of all the melodious Huajian Ci and Gongyan Ci.

As for the dynasty background of the Song Dynasty, Su Chen planned to replace it with the Jin Dynasty, so that while the people of the Tang Dynasty loved martial arts novels, they could also enter into it and feel the threat of the Song Dynasty and the mission of defending the country.
