Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 449 Careers
A team of more than 3000 people led by Meng Xuanyu left the capital of Shu and marched in the direction of Jianmen Pass and Jiameng Pass along the Jinniu Ancient Road.

Three days later, the team arrived outside the city of Mianzhou. Several officials and generals were waiting outside the city for the arrival of the second prince.

Seeing this, Meng Xuanyu got up and got out of the car, and accepted the greeting of the local officials according to the etiquette rules.

"Mianzhou Inspector Zhang Bochuan welcomes His Royal Highness the Second Prince"

"The last general is Mianzhou's defender, Quan Zhizhou military Luo Qijun, welcome to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

The two powerful officials in Mianzhou City, one literary and one military, bowed their hands to the second prince.

Meng Xuanyu glanced at Zhang Bochuan and Luo Qijun, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, everyone went out to greet you in person."

The second prince said a few words of politeness, but he still comforted and encouraged the local officials.

"The Second Highness is concerned about the country and the people, and dares to take responsibility. This time, going to the front line to resist the Song army is even more rewarding! We are just going out of the city to greet you, so there is nothing to worry about! Please, Your Highness and the soldiers of the three armies, enter the city to rest. I would like to represent Mianzhou Yamen and the people. , set up a banquet, clean up the dust for His Highness and the soldiers, and entertain them with great hospitality!"

Zhang Bochuan explained with a smile, he is an old man in the officialdom, and he is very familiar with these procedures.

Meng Xuanyu's face was displeased, and he said solemnly: "I passed by here today, the army will not enter the city to disturb, and will be stationed outside the city. The camp of my highness is also set up outside the city, and it is only by sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers that we can find the state of marching. This trip The purpose of going north is not to visit the mountains and rivers, but to stop the Song army and guard the gate of the country. The general is no longer a country, so what is the mood of my highness to drink, save it and wait for the triumphant return!"

"Yes, your Highness's teachings, you officials should keep in mind." Zhang Bochuan cupped his hands and smiled apologetically, looking deeply educated.

Meng Xuanyu didn't say any more. Looking at the official's behavior, he knew that he was flattering and flattering. If he said too much, it would be like playing the piano with a cow. It was meaningless and a waste of tongue.

At this time, several strange officials stepped forward and reported their names.

"The next official, Lu Han, stays in Jiazhou, and pays homage to the Second Highness."

"The next official, Guozhou General Judge Song Dewei, pays his respects to the Second Highness."

"The next official, Sima King Keliao of Suizhou..."

Hearing the words, Meng Xuanyu showed a dazed look and a smile, turned around and sent the guards to call Su Chen, and introduced these officials for him.

"Brother Chen, these are Lu Han, the empress of Jiazhou, Song Dewei, the general judge of Guozhou, and Keliao, the king of Sima of Suizhou. They are here to wait for dispatch."

After hearing these names, Su Chen immediately remembered who these people were.

According to historical records: In January of the third year of Emperor Qiande of the Song Dynasty, after the Song Dynasty destroyed Shu, they cruelly abused the soldiers of Hou Shu, and the soldiers of Shu continued to resist.Afterwards, the governor of Shu Wenzhou, all the heroes, became the commander in chief, and he was named Xingguo Army.In April, Song general Wang Quanbin lured and killed 7000 Shu soldiers in the capital of Shu, which aroused a greater wave of resistance from the Shu soldiers.Lu Han, Song Dewei, Wang Keliao and others also held uprisings in Jiazhou, Guozhou and Suizhou respectively.

These post-Shu officials were all flesh and blood, with family and country feelings, so before entering Shu, Su Chen wrote down the names of these people and asked Meng Xuanyu to find a way to transfer them to use.

"Your achievements and reputations as officials in various places have been well received. Therefore, after reading the files, I proposed the second highness to second you to the front line with the second highness to resist the invasion of the Song army. Merit!"

Su Chen explained part of the reason, and after hearing the words, several Shu officials understood the intention of this time.

After staying in Jiazhou, Lu Han cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the Second Prince, for supporting me. This gentleman recommended me to come here to protect our family and the country, and contribute to the survival of Dashu!"

"Yeah, I'm waiting in the local area. I have nowhere to use my strength. It's even more enjoyable to go directly to the front line." Song Dewei, the governor of Guozhou, couldn't help but excitedly said.

Meng Xuanyu was not familiar with these people, so he was seconded only because Su Chen wrote down their names.

However, through the contact, speech and behavior of the first meeting, the first impression was good, and I once again admired Su Chen's unique vision.

At this time, Su Chen cheered up and shouted: "Everyone, let's go to the great Shu and go to the country together!"

"Jowle in the great Shu, and go to the country together..."

Lu Han and the others yelled loudly after Su Chen, and their hearts suddenly surged, and they seemed to be more cohesive.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Chen's mouth, sometimes, slogans can brainwash!

In an instant, the Praetorian Guards began camping outside the city.

Meng Xuanyu did what he said, instead of stepping into Mianzhou City, he chose to live in a tent outside the city, sharing joys and sorrows with the imperial guards.

This kind of action and execution ability made Lu Han, Song Dewei, Wang Keliao, Luo Qijun and others feel admiration.

At least it can be seen that the second prince is serious, not to go to the border to supervise the battle for fame, but to go with the determination to go to the battlefield.

After the camp was set up, Meng Xuanyu held a meeting in the commander's tent.

"This trip to the north is related to the survival of our Kingdom of Shu, and we have to attach great importance to it. You and the others will officially join the team of His Highness today and go to the front line together. At that time, we will assign new positions for everyone to lead the army and fight against the Song Dynasty. Army. General Luo, you follow."

Meng Xuanyu called all these people, even Luo Qijun, because Su Chen had mentioned to him that this Luo Qijun was also a reliable general.

Anyway, it was Su Chen who said it, Meng Xuanyu now supports it unconditionally.

In the past, he would think about the reasons, the basis for doing this, whether there are any problems, etc., but after getting along, Meng Xuanyu found that his considerations were superfluous, as long as he completely trusted Su Chen's suggestion, it was the best decision.

It's so sweet to have a reliable talent by your side!

"Your Highness, this time the Song Kingdom sent troops, and the north and the south were attacking fiercely. Is it really necessary to destroy our Shu Kingdom before giving up?" Wang Keliao asked the reason.

These local officials are all located in the prefectures and counties of the Shu Kingdom, isolated from the world, with little news, and little knowledge of major events in the world.So far, it is not known why the Song army attacked Shu and what its strength is.

The main reason is that during the three to forty years of the Kingdom of Shu, it was in a closed state, relying on the natural dangers of mountains, rivers and rivers, and lived comfortably in Shu for too long. Not to mention the local officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, even the officials of the third and fourth ranks in the court did not understand the severity of the current situation.

Wang Zhaoyuan, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and a political adviser, still claims that Zhuge Liang is alive, arrogant and ignorant, making the future generations laugh.

These all stem from the fact that the Shu Kingdom is closed and peaceful, and has not dealt with the Central Plains for too long, and does not care about the changes in the world. As for why the Song Kingdom attacked the Shu Kingdom, was it a war of destroying the country, or was it trying to force the Kingdom of Shu to surrender and seek peace? , or just coercion to ask for gold and silver, have not analyzed clearly.

Meng Xuanyu sighed: "The Song Dynasty is a wolf's ambition. His purpose is to unify the world and will not let any southern vassal regime go. For a detailed analysis, Mr. Chen will explain it to everyone."

"..." Su Chen was speechless, how could he hold a mobilization meeting for the Northern Expedition and turn it into a popular discussion on current affairs.

Facing the earnest eyes of Meng Xuanyu and the local officials and generals, Su Chen reluctantly decided to start with Zhao Kuangyin's strategic policy of "first south and then north".

　Happy holidays everyone! !
