Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 438 Countermeasures!
The next day, Meng Xuanyu ordered his subordinates to leave Baidi City and continue on the road after replacing the big ship.

The ship departed from Baidi City in Kuizhou, went west along the Yangtze River, and went up the river, passing through Anzhou, Wanzhou, Zhongzhou, Yuzhou, Luzhou, Rongzhou and other places, and it also took five or six days to sail.

Before leaving, Meng Xuanyu was still worried about Kuizhou's defense, and Su Chen couldn't bear it, so he gave him an idea.

Leaving a few good arrows and assassins, they sneaked into the city of Kuizhou and paid close attention to Wu Shouqian's every move.

Through history, Su Chen learned that this Wu Shouqian was the key figure in the loss of the east line of defense.

If Wu Shouqian refused to listen to the order when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty approached the city, and led the troops out of the city to fight in private, but General Gao Yanchou did not stop them, he would send a hidden killer to shoot Wu Shouqian before he left the city, and organize him to lead troops on a business trip to fight with Song Dynasty. The two armies clashed and killed themselves.

This is the last resort, to prevent problems before they happen.

Although the advantage of the city wall is very important, some people are stupid and arrogant. They often give up the advantage of the city wall and insist on going out of the city for a decisive battle. In the end, they are not opponents at all, and they are defeated after a fight.

The demise of the Kingdom of Shu has a lot to do with these self-righteous generals. If they strictly guard the city, they can indeed withstand the attack of the Song army for a while.

Meng Xuanyu directly agreed, and he almost followed the strategy given by Su Chen at present, trusting Jiangzuo Sulang very much.

Because he understood Su Chen's talent and predictive ability, he became a crouching dragon and phoenix young strategist.

On the way, neither Peng Qingqing nor Jing Yun had been on a boat for such a long time, so they were very excited and came out from time to time to watch the scenery and landforms of the green mountains on both sides.

In the land of Rongzhou, the ship changed the river course and entered the Minjiang waterway from the Yangtze River waterway. After passing through Jiazhou, the next stop ahead was Shudu.

This trip, from Runzhou to Jiazhou, is half a month's journey.

"One more day, we will be able to reach the capital of our country of Shu. Brother Chen, has he been here before?"

Meng Xuanyu came to the rudder splint, stood side by side with Su Chen, and chatted about this topic.

Su Chen thought to himself, he traveled to the City of Abundance in his previous life, but the appearance of the city is absolutely different!

"I haven't had a chance to come here yet. This time, it's considered a trip. Watching the cultural features of Bashu can also increase my knowledge."

Meng Xuanyu was humble when he heard what he said, and smiled slightly, this great talent is really different from other talents.

If other talents have half the talent of his, I don't know what kind of arrogance they will look like.

Only this Jiangzuo Sulang, even though he is so talented, still speaks so modestly, which makes people feel comfortable.

Meng Xuanyu smiled and said: "Brother Chen is too modest, what knowledge can Brother Chen gain here, I still need you to give me some pointers, I am an outstanding person from Bashu!"

Su Chen glanced at him, smiled and said: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, get rid of the dust in your chest, naturally camp in the hills and valleys, and become a juan'e!"

"Uh..." Meng Xuanyu came down in astonishment, having never heard this sentence before.

He also read articles from the Central Plains and anthologies of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the Kingdom of Shu, but he had never heard of this sentence.

"This is... why?"

Su Chen explained in easy-to-understand vernacular: "A person's true knowledge can't just rely on reading thousands of volumes of books, but also travel thousands of miles. Because the knowledge in books is limited, only traveling with eyes and ears can make up for it. Otherwise, without practice and accurate cognition, it’s just talk on paper, and the combination of the two can wash away the turbidity in the chest and become clear and clear!”

"So it really makes sense!" Meng Xuanyu showed admiration.

To be able to casually say a wise saying that he has never heard before, or even one that has never been said before, may be an aphorism created by himself, which surprised Meng Xuanyu, and made him look forward to Su Chen's rescue of Shu in his heart.

"Brother Chen, since the Song army sent troops to attack Shu, people in the capital of Shu must be in panic right now. The whole court is nervous. When I return to the capital, what should I do to benefit the fight against Song?"

Meng Xuanyu couldn't help asking for a solution. He was in a mess right now. Without a suitable strategy, he couldn't save the country with his blood.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, and said: "From the information I learned from Jiazhou, the imperial court of Shu has issued an edict to send troops, ordering Wang Zhaoyuan to be the commander of the camp in the north, and Zhao Chongtao to be the governor of the capital. In addition, with Han Baozheng and Li Jin as the chief and deputy envoys, lead tens of thousands of troops to Xingyuan, and strengthen the defense in the north!"

Meng Xuanyu nodded to confirm: "That's right, that's exactly it!"

Su Chen continued: "I once said that Wang Zhaoyuan is really mediocre, flattering, incapable of governing the country and leading the army to fight, your father sent him to the expedition, and almost bet on the country's prosperity. On his body, do you think he can hold it up?"

"Then what should we do?"

Su Chen said: "Two ways, one is that you can send someone to get rid of this Wang Zhaoyuan, or poison him, it won't kill him, but he won't be able to march. In this way, you can deal with this mediocre commander, so as not to get in the way."

"Secondly, you have to find a way to be in command, or as an imperial envoy in the northern camp, with military power, you can say what you want, so that our strategy can be implemented, so that it will not be destroyed by mediocrity and resist the invasion of the Song army."

"If I am in command and control the military power, I am afraid that the crown prince and many officials in the court will not agree, and they will suspect that I have the intention to usurp power."

Meng Xuanyu showed a look of embarrassment.

Su Chen suggested: "Then become an imperial envoy, representing the emperor to the front line, responsible for supervising the battle ahead, not in charge of military power, but also has decision-making power, let them fight against the Song army according to our strategy!"

Meng Xuanyu nodded and said, "Well, you can give it a try!"

Su Chen was still worried about Wang Zhaoyuan, because in history, the demise of the Shu Kingdom had a lot to do with this person's delay of the battle, his arrogance and arrogance.

"Wang Zhaoyuan must find a way to stop him and go to the northern camp to command, otherwise, the Shu army will be defeated!"

Hearing what he said was so serious, Meng Xuanyu also showed a dignified expression.
