Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 553 Get Involved
Su Chen was appointed as the supervisor of the army, and he was going to go out with the army in three days. It was of great importance and could not be delayed, so this matter was quickly settled.

When the civil and military ministers came out of Chengxin Hall, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Yan Xu and others enthusiastically dragged Su Chen along while talking and explaining some things.

Chen Qiao, Pan You and the others also slowed down their pace, and it was rare for them to get close to Sun Dang's people.

As a result, Song Dang's Wei Cen, Chen Jue and others seemed to be isolated, a few people were excluded, they gave Su Chen a cold look, and left with a flick of their sleeves.

"Hmph, be careful to go with your life, and return with your life!" Wei Cen spat in a low voice, then left the palace with Chen Jue and others, walked through the corridor, exited the palace gate, and pedaled back to the mansion.

Pan You and Chen Qiao said some words of approval to Su Chen, and then expressed the hope that Su Chen and General Lu Jiang could cooperate happily and serve the country together.

"My lords, please rest assured that Yixuan's hometown is in Runzhou. The Wuyue soldiers came to invade. I am responsible for both public and private matters. I will go back to defend Runzhou and repel the Wuyue soldiers!"

Su Chen stated that he would go all out to fight against Wu Yue's army.

"That's good. Although Su Zhuangyuan has never been in the army, but since you have learned martial arts and are familiar with the art of war, I believe that Zhuangyuan will do some incredible things this time to assist General Lu Jiang and defeat Wu Yue. The army is not delusional!"

"That's right, Su Yixuan, as Jiang Zuo's number one talented scholar, is capable of both civil and military skills, so he will definitely be able to do it!"

Several ministers praised Su Chen one after another, and their affection for Su Chen was overwhelming!
"I'm so overwhelmed, I'm so ashamed, this junior!" Su Chen was humble, being praised by such a group of bigwigs in the Southern Tang court, he felt somewhat guilty.

Who in the officialdom is not an old fritter, and how much of what they say is true?
Su Chen still kept calm, not letting himself get carried away, so proud that he couldn't find Bei, it would make people look down upon him.

Han Xizai said, "Okay, Mr. Pan and Mr. Chen, go back and have a good talk with General Lu Jiang. You should explain what you need to do in advance. When you go to Runzhou, you can't make any mistakes. It's about the fate of the Tang Dynasty. It's a matter of life and death. Don't take it lightly!"

"Naturally, we will do more analysis and layout!" Pan You and others said goodbye and left the palace.

Han Xizai looked at Su Chen and the others, and said, "Would you like to come to my house, have a few drinks, and talk about the upcoming situation by the way?"

Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "Master Han, I won't go. The expedition is imminent. I'll go back and make some arrangements. Before I leave, I'll visit your lord's house and listen to his teachings."

Han Xizai nodded slightly, thinking that there were many confidantes in his family who really needed to be arranged, so he didn't insist on pulling him there.

"Okay then, you go back to your house to resettle your family and those girls, and make preparations for the expedition. The old man and the adults will analyze some pros and cons and key points, list them down, and tell you in detail before you leave!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, my lords." Su Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.

"It's all for Tang!"

"Farewell to the official!"

Su Chen got into the carriage outside the palace gate, and returned to his mansion.

While Chengxintang was discussing how to defend the eastern front and reinforce Runzhou, the news about Changzhou's collapse had already spread. Peng Jingjing heard about it from Peng's father, and quickly came to Su Mansion to tell Bai Susu, Yang Linger and others , discuss together.

At this time, when the girls saw Su Chen returning to the mansion, they walked into the hall and surrounded him.

"Brother Chen, I heard that Changzhou fell. Wu Yue soldiers burned, killed and plundered Changzhou city, and they will soon attack Runzhou. Does the imperial court have any countermeasures?"

Bai Susu was a little worried. After all, in Runzhou, there was the foundation and members of the Bai family. Once surrounded by Wu Yue soldiers, it would be difficult to get out of trouble.

At that time, many men will be conscripted for military service to help defend the city.

If the city of Runzhou is destroyed, the rich and powerful families and gentry in the city will be unlucky, and they may become the targets of looting.If Runzhou City is not broken and is besieged for several months, it is likely to lead to a lack of supplies in the city, no food storage, and people in the city will starve to death.

Therefore, Bai Susu fell into a state of anxiety.

Su Chen replied: "The countermeasure, of course I've thought about it, that is, I will send Lu Jiang, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, with [-] soldiers and horses, to Runzhou as a queen, and command the three armies!"

"Lu Jiang, I don't seem to have heard of it, can he do it?!" Peng Jingjing was a little distrustful.

Yang Ling'er frowned, she seemed to be quite unfamiliar with this Lu Jiang, she hadn't heard Yan Pei, Wu Chunxiu and others mention that there was such a reliable general in the imperial court.

"He can't, isn't there me!" Su Chen smiled slightly, playing charades.

"What do you mean?" Peng Jingjing was a little suspicious.

Bai Susu looked at Su Chen, and asked doubtfully, "Are you going to fight too?"

"That's right, I was promoted by the government to be the supervisor of the army this time. I will be Lord Lu Jiang's deputy and supervise the three armies. At critical times, I can lead troops to guard Runzhou!"

After Su Chen said this, Bai Susu, Peng Jingjing, Yang Ling'er, and Liu Mo Nong were all surprised.

"You want to go out with the army and go to Runzhou?" Bai Susu couldn't believe it.

Peng Jingjing clapped her hands happily: "Great, you have a lot of power as a supervising army, so I can also go there, and give me a Du Yuhou Dangdang, and I will lead the troops to charge and defeat Wu Yue's army!"

"It's too dangerous." Liu Mo Nong was a little worried.

"That's right, Brother Su Chen, it's better not to go." Yang Ling'er disagreed with Su Chen's going.

Because she heard from Yan Pei and others that in Changzhou and Runzhou, there are many wandering lords and dead soldiers. At critical times, they can cooperate with Wuyue soldiers to attack the city, and cooperate with the inside and outside to achieve miraculous results!
This time Changzhou fell within less than ten days, that's why!

But if Su Chen went to Runzhou to participate in guarding against the Wuyue soldiers, then Yang Ling'er would have to find a way to persuade the Fuguo organization not to cause trouble for brother Su Chen, otherwise, the army would be defeated like a mountain, and it would be easy to die in the chaos. Worry about life.

How could she watch her brother-in-law encounter an accident?Yang Linger's first reaction was to prevent Su Chen from going to Runzhou.

However, Su Chen wanted to keep Nantang and save the people in Runzhou, knowing that it was very dangerous there, but he would not back down.

"The imperial decree is about to be issued and will not be changed. As a supervising army, it is a foregone conclusion that I will go out with the army! This time, the Wuyue soldiers are coming aggressively. In cooperation with the Song army's invasion, they have hatred for the people of Tang. Once the city is broken, the people in Runzhou will The people are very dangerous and will be ravaged. As a native of Runzhou, I want to protect this homeland, protect our relatives and friends, as well as our property, and fight against Wuyue soldiers to the end!"

Su Chen's expression was calm, without any signs of fear, and he was even a little confident that he could repel Wu Yue's army.
