Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 450 Analyzing the General Trend
Su Chen took a sip of tea, spit out the tea foam in his mouth, and after a while, he explained the current affairs of the North and South to everyone.

"Everyone, Zhao Kuangyin, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, quickly consolidated his throne after he became self-reliant on behalf of Zhou, and put the unification of the world on the agenda. This is the long-cherished wish of the founding kings of all dynasties. To realize the unification of Kyushu, Zhao Kuangyin has great talent and strategy, and naturally he is no exception."

"After the decline of the Tang Dynasty, there were many feudal clans and towns, the north and the south were divided, dynasties changed rapidly, and wars continued. In the north, there was the Daliao established by the Khitan people, and the Dangxiang clan in the northwest became the climate. The Han, supported by the Khitan, openly opposed the former Hou Zhou and the present Song Dynasty."

"To the south of the Yangtze River, there are eight political vassals: Li Tang, Wu Yue, Shu, Jingnan, Chu, and Southern Han. Although each vassal has a certain amount of financial resources, the territory is small, they are not united, and the national strength does not pay much attention to military deployment. They are all a little afraid of the Song Dynasty, so they keep showing favor and intend to surrender to protect the power!"

"But Zhao Kuangyin has the heart of annexing the world, and there are only two roads before him; one is to go north first and then south, continue Zhou Shizong's policy, carry out the Northern Expedition, recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and split the relationship between Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty. Get in touch, destroy the Northern Han, and then turn around and deal with the southern princes."

"The second is to go from the south to the north. After completely conquering the eight regimes in the south, integrate financial resources and military power, then turn around and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, then repel the Khitan and retake the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures. In the final analysis, one is difficult before it is easy. One is easy and then difficult. After discussing with Zhao Pu and other ministers, the Zhao official family should have chosen the second strategy, which is the policy of first going south and then going north. Therefore, if his grand plan of hegemony cannot be realized without destroying the southern countries, how can he be reconciled? Strike?"

After hearing Su Chen's remarks, everyone gasped. It seems that Song Dynasty came to attack the Kingdom of Shu with the aim of destroying the Kingdom, and there was no room for maneuver.

"So this is the root cause!" Luo Qijun, Lu Han and others suddenly realized.

Peng Qingqing had heard these narrations many times, but each time she listened to them, she understood a little more.

She looked at her fiancé, with pride in her heart.

Although he is a scholar, he is even more attractive when he points out the country and analyzes the general trend of the world.

These are the shining points that cannot be found in Wufu.

Even though Peng Qingqing's martial arts were very high, she still admired Su Chen who was talking so eloquently at the moment, and fell in love with him.

After Su Chen took a sip of tea, he continued: "The Zhao family has adopted a conservative approach. Facing the Khitan, Northern Han, and Northwest parties, they temporarily maintain normal diplomatic relations. The intention is to delay the stability of the north. The land of Jinghu is connected to the Southern Han Dynasty in the south. East and West, together with Tang and Shu, have an extremely important strategic position. Therefore, this place became the preferred target of the Song Dynasty, and Gao Jichong's Nanping regime and Hunan Ma's Chu regime were wiped out in this way."

Meng Xuanyu nodded slightly. Although he had heard Su Chen mention it before, he still benefited a lot from listening to it again today.

Controlling the situation in detail and being able to keenly judge Da Song's strategy and intentions can enable them to recognize the situation clearly and not take chances.

"Everyone understands, right? The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were divided into two groups, and the most elite Forbidden Army in Bianjing was directly mobilized. There was only one purpose, which was to destroy the Kingdom of Shu, and then eliminate the Kingdom of Tang, Southern Han, Wuyue, etc. to achieve unification. Therefore, we There is no way out, either the Song army will be defeated, or the country will be ruined and the family will perish!"

Meng Xuanyu followed this topic and mobilized to stimulate the blood and fighting spirit of these people.

"I will follow the second prince to the death, go to the front line, and defend Dashu!"

"Even if you are shrouded in horse leather, you will never back down!"

"Yes, never back down, beat back the Song army!"

All officials and generals expressed their views one after another.

Meng Xuanyu was very satisfied with their attitude, and turned to Su Chen, "Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions for the urgent matter?"

Su Chen thought for a while. Since he was not clear about the current battle situation, he had no concept of the combat effectiveness of the Shu army and the Song army. No matter how much he thought about it, it was only on paper. He needed to go to the scene to observe the terrain and the strength of both sides, and then formulate an effective strategy. Reliable.

"What we have to do now is to hurry as soon as possible and try to arrive as soon as possible so that we have more chances. I'm really worried that Wang Zhaoyuan doesn't understand military affairs and commanded indiscriminately, so that the frontline coach Han Baozheng went out of the city of Xixian County to fight with the Song Army forward, The horse army commanded Shi Yande's soldiers to fight head-on, and that was the end."

"That's why I specially edited a letter, explaining the reasons, please stamp and sign it, and send someone to Xi County as soon as possible, so that Han Baozheng will stick to the city and not attack."

"Okay, this matter cannot be delayed. I will send someone to send it out tonight, and it will arrive in two days soon!"

Meng Xuanyu nodded and agreed to his suggestion.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "In addition, I want to know about Mr. Wang Zhaoyuan, the current marching situation, various deployments, etc., can be summarized for me."

He was most worried about this person.

"That's okay!" Meng Xuanyu nodded in agreement.

In fact, he had already dispatched secret spies and intelligence personnel to Jianmen and Jiameng Pass to pay close attention to every move of Wang Zhaoyuan's marching command, and every day he flew pigeons to send letters and report to him.

Due to Su Chen's constant influence and instigation, Meng Xuanyu now feels very disgusted with Wang Zhaoyuan, and wants to deal with it.

The prince came to make the arrangements in person, and it was not difficult to do it with the acquiescence and support of the Shu emperor.

What Meng Xuanyu considered was how to get rid of Wang Zhaoyuan without making a fuss, without fighting, and without affecting the morale of the army.

This is the time to test his skills.

The meeting lasted for an hour, and then the meeting was adjourned. All the officials, generals, and guests stood up and left, leaving only Meng Xuanyu, Su Chen, Peng Qingqing, and Wei Ying to stay.

"That's right, these people can be of great use!"

Meng Xuanyu gave a high evaluation. Through brief contact, he has already discovered that the newly recruited four or five people have a stable personality, integrity and courage. They can be used with confidence and lead the army alone.

Therefore, with a refreshed spirit, Meng Xuanyu felt a little more confident about going north to fight against the Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness can know how to use it well! Well, it's late at night, my mouth is dry, and I'm really tired after traveling for a few days. I'm going back to Wenrou, and I'm going to sleep with my fiancée in my arms."

Su Chen yawned, stood up, didn't care about the image of a talented scholar or etiquette of a scholar, and directly said something a little meng, and wanted to go back to his tent to rest.

Peng Qingqing's cheeks flushed, and she also got up, but she didn't sneer back.

Because she gradually got used to the warm feeling of sleeping in his arms and the occasional intimacy, she could also accept it.

As long as you don't really do something to break the red, other things, gradually let go, and like this kind of happiness when the two of them are alone.

"Brother Chen is really lucky!"

Seeing Su Chen and Peng Qingqing getting up to leave, Meng Xuanyu couldn't help but praise them.

Su Chen smiled and said: "You can hug two, I only have one, so you don't need Versailles."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and then pulled Peng Qingqing out of the tent.

"Faner...Sai, what do you mean?" Meng Xuanyu looked confused.

Weiying spread her hands, also inexplicably, as if she didn't understand at all.
