Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 511 Do your best and obey the destiny!
After talking about it, Han Xizai looked excited, and the blood in his chest was rekindled.Originally, he was about to give up the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to enter the official career again, because there was no hope in sight, and he didn't want to do useless work.

However, ever since he discovered the talent of Su Chen, Han Xizai felt that he could fight again.

Han Xizai looked at Su Chen, and told him about an incident when he was young, which now seems to be embarrassing.

He is a descendant of the northern generals. He has a deep understanding of the art of war and government affairs. In his early years, he had an irresistible relationship with Li Gu, the Prime Minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Both of them had the talent and ambition to help the world when they were young.But in the Mingzong period of the later Tang Dynasty, Han Xizai could not stay in the north because his family offended the powerful, so he went to the south of the Yangtze River to seek development, while Li Gu continued to stay in the Central Plains.

Before parting, Li Gu practiced it in Wei Han Xizai, Zhengyang County, Henan. Said: "If the Central Plains is used as a phase, I will take the south of the Yangtze River like searching for a bag!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and bid farewell to each other.

Fast-forward 20 years, Li Gu served as prime minister under Zhou Shizong, and Li Gu was the commander-in-chief of the frontline in the battle to capture the two Huaihe Rivers in the following Zhou Dynasty, and he continued to offer advice, which was adopted by Sejong.Therefore, Li Gu has been recorded in the annals of history for his contribution to the capture of Lianghuai.

However, Han Xizai was an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time, and he was an official who drafted documents and had no achievements.He even witnessed the mistakes of the imperial court's policies, the failure ahead, and the loss of the fourteen prefectures in Huainan, which completely shattered his dreams.

After Su Chen finished listening, he nodded slightly, and lamented in his heart that Han Xizai's talents were not met, and felt a little sympathetic.

"Then Master Li Gu, is he still alive?"

Han Xizai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "He passed away in the first year of Jianlong, and it has been five years. He died well, he has realized his ambition, and this life is worthwhile. Although the old man is still alive, there is nothing worthy of praise. Credit, in this chaotic world at the end of Tang Dynasty, amidst a hundred years of vicissitudes, how many future generations can remember me, Han Xizai?"

Su Chen already understood Han Xizai's sentimentality, that he was underappreciated for his talents, that he didn't realize his political ambitions, and felt that his life was wasted.

However, in the records of famous people in history, it seems that Han Xizai is more famous than Li Gu, which may be related to the "Han Xizai Night Banquet Picture" by the saint of painting, which has been passed down through the ages.

"Uncle Han, I think that this time the Kingdom of Shu was not wiped out by the Great Song Dynasty, and we have a chance if we have blocked the Great Song's footwork to unify the world. If my guess is correct, the Great Song Dynasty will avoid the Kingdom of Shu next time, and put The goal is on the Tang and Southern Han, borrowing troops from the land of Jingchu, if we win the Southern Han, then unite with Qian Yue, and we will be able to encircle Tang."

This is Su Chen's analysis, and it is also Zhao Kuangyin's move in history. Although the Song Dynasty has been using troops to suppress the Southern Tang Dynasty, it has never found the right time. In the end, it had to annex other small southern countries, and finally encircled the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At present, the allies that the Southern Tang can win over are Houshu, Linzhou Zhefan, Southern Han, and Northern Han. Although the Khitan can also serve as foreign aid, the Khitan is not our species after all. Cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger and luring a wolf into a house. Su Chen didn't want to introduce Khitan into the Central Plains because of his resistance to Song Dynasty, at most he would take advantage of the opportunity to hold back Song Dynasty and scare him.

As for the Yue Kingdom of the Qian family, it has been an enemy of the Southern Tang Dynasty for generations, and it belongs to the group that should be eliminated. Moreover, the Yue Kingdom has already surrendered to the Song Kingdom, and it is even more impossible to win over it.

After such an analysis, the allies only need those few, and they will make contact in the morning.

After listening to Su Chen's analysis, Han Xizai felt that it made sense, and he became more and more impressed with his knowledge and viewpoints.

"Yixuan, next, we will follow our plan to carry out the layout, gradually suppress the Song party in the court, win over the new party, carry out reforms, and get rid of the bad government, so that the people of the Tang state will be united and the people will be better off. In the military, carry out For military expansion and training, however, the officials will definitely be afraid, and we need to keep persuading them. In the end, it depends on the Song State’s policy, how much time we have to reserve for us to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.”

Han Xizai tried his best to explain these key points to him.

Su Chen hesitated, and asked softly: "Uncle Han, do you think the monarch of our Tang Kingdom is capable of keeping Jiangnan?"

"Do your best and listen to the destiny!"

Han Xizai has a general impression of Li Yu's ability to govern. He may have some literary talents, but in terms of governance and courage, he is far inferior to Lie Zu.

Su Chen sighed softly, there was no way for him to do so, after who told him to travel through time, he found that he was living in the Southern Tang Dynasty, not the Northern Song Dynasty.

For the time being, he plans to contribute, but he is not sure about the future outcome!

Taking one step at a time, if the Southern Tang Dynasty is really going to perish, he can only escape from the south of the Yangtze River, seek refuge on overseas islands, or go to the Northern Song Dynasty to settle down.

To live and die with Southern Tang, this is not Su Chen's motto!

Su Chen chatted with Han Xizai for an hour, and when he left the room, it was almost dusk.

He walked out of the courtyard, but was stopped by someone.

"Brother Su, is that you? Hey, I finally saw you!"

A boy rushed out.

Su Chen turned around, and saw a little fat man running over in gorgeous clothes, it was Han Yunpeng.

"Han Xiaopang, you have come to Jinling!"

Han Xiaopang grinned and said: "Yes, since you went out, I have been bored in Runzhou, so I came to Jinling and wanted to expand my business here, haha, I opened a book store here, you I kept reprinting those legendary novels and earned a lot of money."

Su Chen smiled: "Not bad, not bad, making money is becoming more and more flexible."

Han Yunpeng asked: "Brother Su, are you coming to the Han Mansion to see my father?"

Su Chen nodded: "Well, I just talked a little bit about visiting your father, and I'm about to leave the mansion."

Han Yunpeng said with a bit of grief and indignation: "My father didn't even leave you to eat at the house, it's too stingy, no, I will arrange tonight, let's go to the flower house to have wine, and when I come back, I will ask my father to pay the bill."

Su Chen was a little amused, shook his head and said: "No need, I'm going back to my house for dinner. I just arrived today, and there are still many things at home."

Han Yunpeng was slightly disappointed: "Oh, well, let's not go to Hualou today, we will go another day. Brother Su, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Let me go to your house to eat with you, and I can chat with you more .”

"Okay, let's go!" Su Chen had a good impression of this little brother.

Han Yunpeng is very loyal and has a very good relationship with him. He is not as tricky and mean as those other yamen. The little fat man has a simple personality and is suitable for making friends.

"Hee hee, then let's go. By the way, I still have a lot of venison and aquatic products at home. When I ask the servants to pack some fresh ones, we will take them to your house to cook and eat."

Han Yunpeng has not changed at all, he is still very cheating.
