Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 448
Two days later, several carriages stopped at the gate of the second prince's mansion, and it was the day when Meng Xuanyu and others went north to the border.

In addition to the carriage, there are [-] cavalry soldiers of the imperial guards lined up behind, and [-] guard warriors will accompany them to protect and go to the northern battlefield of the front line.

Whether the Kingdom of Shu can be saved depends on whether the second prince's trip goes smoothly this time, whether he can stop the loss in time, and withstand the attack of the Song army like a wolf.

The people living in the bustling capital of Shu are drunk and dreaming of death, and they haven't realized that the disaster of destroying the country is coming.

Perhaps some officials, wealthy businessmen, and ordinary people felt that even if the Shu Kingdom perished, they could still submit to the Song Kingdom, and it was no big deal.

However, history books prove that when you are a subjugated slave, your human rights become much lower than before, and all kinds of oppression, plunder, burning, exploitation, etc., will come with the arrival of the enemy.

It is almost impossible for them to live such a carefree life again.

In history, the Song Army, after suffering disasters in Shu for three years, forcibly transported a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and other wealth from Shu to Bianjing City, destroying production and excessively squeezing, making the people of Shu miserable and unable to survive. Then the rebellion continued.

"Brother Chen, it's time to go!"

Meng Xuanyu brought two maids, the family general Wei Ying, counselor Liao Zhong, and Ke Qing.

Su Chen came out with Peng Qingqing and Jing Yun, and greeted Meng Xuanyu: "Second Highness, you can go."

"Well, please pedal!"

Meng Xuanyu made a gesture of invitation, and was very polite to Su Chen.

Because this time he went north to fight against the Song Dynasty, he had to rely on Su Chen's ingenuity to stop the Song army.

Su Chen glanced at the two slim and elegant women who were dressed as men behind Meng Xuanyu, and nodded slightly: "Finally, I am willing to let them show up. They are usually hidden and secretive. Now that they are seen, I am not curious." .”

Regarding this matter, Su Chen still complained a little bit. After drinking, Wei Ying revealed that the second prince had raised five beautiful women, and the most outstanding one was sent to Jinling City of the Tang Dynasty to be a female actress, Su Ruyan, to inquire about the information of the Tang Kingdom. .

The other four have been serving the second prince, Meng Xuanyu, in the mansion all the time, and they are exclusive to each other.

Su Chen just wanted to see what they all looked like, how did they compare to Su Ruyan?
As for men, they are always curious about beauties, but the more so, the more Meng Xuanyu concealed them, which led to seeing them today.

Meng Xuanyu briefly introduced: "These are the two sword maids by my side, Ye Chunlan and Ye Xiahe, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their martial arts are better than yours!"

"Compared to me, my son is not good at martial arts. Besides, I have only studied for half a year, so you are ashamed to use this as a comparison!"

Su Chen was speechless, and gave His Highness a direct look.

Seeing him deflated, Meng Xuanyu was still a little interested, and said with a slight smile, "Then you have to make persistent efforts."

"I can't fight, as long as my wife can fight, if you don't accept it, compare with her!"

Su Chen couldn't help showing off that Peng Qingqing's martial arts are excellent, and it can add a lot to his long face.

"Get in the car!"

Meng Xuanyu stopped chatting with him, and when the time came, it was time to start the schedule.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing were sitting in the same car, and Jing Yun was sitting by the shaft, and was in charge of driving with the driver.

Meng Xuanyu took the two sword maids into a car, and Wei Ying stood beside the car to protect them.

Several counselors and guests, three people in one car, filled two cars.

Accompanying him was Jia E, a member of the Privy Council who signed the letter. He accompanied the second prince on business trips along the way. He had to record some military deployments, battle situations, etc., and finally report to the Privy Council.

The team walked mightily on the road in Shudu, bustling and bustling along the way.

"Shu people, you can have some snacks!"

The car was driving on the street, Su Chen lifted the curtain of the car, and seeing the people on both sides of the road, singing and dancing, enjoying themselves, he couldn't help but sigh.

Peng Qingqing chuckled and said, "Unexpectedly, the first time we went to the front line, we were not fighting for Tang, but for the safety of Shu."

"I can't help it. Even though the second prince saved my life back then, he made a huge profit! If he disagrees, he might be tied back. Why don't you take the initiative, at least you can be polite to us now and don't tear yourself apart!"

Su Chen expressed his helplessness, and had to agree to the second prince because he had no other choice.

When Meng Xuanyu confessed his identity to him, it was tantamount to being exposed, and Su Chen was given a choice. At that time, it was up to him not to agree.

Su Chen saw exactly that, so after a lot of bargaining, he understood it with reason, moved him with emotion, and consolidated the relationship with each other. He agreed to help Meng Xuanyu cope with this rescue, and was honored by the second prince as a guest of honor.

Peng Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "But, I heard that the Song army is the army of tigers and wolves. In the north, even the Khitan people were able to repel them and unified the north. A few years ago, my Tang army fought against the Song army in Jiangbei, and was defeated. The Shu army is not as good as the Tang army, can they resist?"

Su Chen naturally understood this truth, and said with emotion: "It's definitely not possible to fight directly face to face. We can only use the mountains and rivers and terrain, cooperate with various strategies, and ambush the Song army."

The team left the city, and outside the city, some officials close to the second prince prepared wine and said some congratulatory speeches.

Meng Xuanyu drank the wine symbolically, bid farewell to these officials with cupped hands, and said adverbs of pride such as "I will live up to everyone's expectations and swear to defend the country to the death".

Su Chen has been sitting in the car, and didn't go down to join in the fun, because this is not his hometown, nor his hometown, so there are not many emotional factors. He is reading and analyzing the information recently sent by the northern front.

There were [-] troops on the North Road, but the elite troops, commanded by Song generals Wang Quanbin and Cui Yanjin, traveled southward from Fengzhou along the Jialing River Valley, generally taking Chencang Road and Jinniu Road along the way.

It is said that although the [-] Song troops were small, they were the elite of the Forbidden Army. Due to the rugged terrain, a large number of chariots and horses could not be used because they entered the Shu land to fight.

The ordinary army at the back is composed of local soldiers and descendants. There are many people, but the mob is only in the process of rectification at the back.

Su Chen carefully studied the map. From Fengzhou to Xixian, the Song army walked out of the Qinling Mountains and entered the Hanzhong Basin. It was roughly the old route of Chencang Road.

At the junction of Chencang Road and Qishan Road, there is an important town of Xingzhou guarded by the Shu Army, but according to the news from the front line two days ago, it was broken through by the Song Army in one go.

Shu coach Han Baozheng led his army to retreat to Xixian County. This position is very critical. It is the junction of Chencang Road and Jinniu Road after turning into Qishan Road.Once it is broken, the Song army can set foot on the Jinniu Road at any time and attack the position of the capital of Shu; it can also easily enter the Hanzhong area, which itself is a hub area and a strategic location.

"I hope it can be stopped in time, otherwise, Han Baozheng's [-] Shu army will die at the border."

Su Chen couldn't help sighing, took up a pen and wrote a letter, analyzing Song Jun's advantages, and making sure Han Baozheng didn't fight against Song Jun head-on.

As long as he sticks to it for seven days, he and Meng Xuanyu will be able to arrive, and everything will still have an active advantage.
