Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 558 Brother and Sister Dialogue
Su Chen sorted out the items that he wanted to carry with him in the study room. He didn't care about clothes, because Runzhou still had his mansion, which could be used at any time, and he didn't need books. Because of his excellent memory, he memorized most of the ancient books up.

Besides, he himself is the No. [-] scholar, so he doesn't have to work hard with some books all the time.

He was sorting out some construction clauses about the secret spy department, the Tiangong Institute, and the internal treasury. He didn't want to ignore these three aspects just because he was about to go to Runzhou as a military supervisor. This is the hope for the recovery and development of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future.

Su Chen had a premonition that Song would not be able to win Southern Tang and Jinling this time, not only because he was here, but because the time for Song to destroy Tang had not yet come.

The current Southern Tang Dynasty is not so decayed that there is no cure, and the national treasury is useless to the point where it is useless to pay for the army. Therefore, the Southern Tang Dynasty is based on the strength of a bloody battle.

Because in history, the Northern Song Dynasty really destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty in 975 AD, ten years after today.

Why couldn't the Southern Tang Dynasty be destroyed during these ten years?Because some courtiers and generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty are still there, although they have declined, they have not yet reached the brink of collapse.

The Song Army has a mighty force of 20, but the total strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not a lot. In terms of numbers, the Song Army does not have an absolute advantage. It is a long journey and a naval battle. The army is disadvantaged.

Therefore, Su Chen is confident that he can fight against Wu Yue soldiers, or even defeat them.

There was a knock on the door of the study, and then Yang Ling'er came in with a cup of bird's nest soup to make up for Su Chen.

"It's Linger!"

Yang Ling'er walked to the desk, put down the wooden box, took out the bird's nest soup, and said, "Brother Su Chen, it's getting late, you have to go out tomorrow, drink some bird's nest soup, you should rest early."

Su Chen asked with concern: "Ling'er, are you still awake?"

Yang Ling'er felt aggrieved and said: "Brother Su Chen will go out with the army tomorrow, Ling'er is worried, how can he sleep?"

Su Chen put down his pen, got up and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You've seen the changes in this year. My ability has greatly improved. Whether it's literary attainments or martial arts skills, it's enough to protect myself. We will never be bullied again."

Yang Ling'er nodded, and said: "But, I always feel that brother Su Chen is not the brother-in-law of the past. In the past year, you have changed too much. His tone of voice, personality, eyes, literary talents, inventions, etc., all of them have changed. Unlike the original righteous brother, sometimes I wonder if you have changed."

This is a question that has been buried in Ling'er's heart for a long time. The former Su Chen, a playboy, was addicted to gambling and mediocre in reading the year before last. He is completely different from the current Su Chen.

She is the person around her and knows Su Chen best, so other people can be fooled by Su Chen's words of "hidden clumsiness" and "preserving one's life wisely", but Yang Linger finds it hard to believe it.

However, Yang Ling'er was still young, so she didn't remember many details.

Su Chen thought for a while, and explained: "That's right, I used to be of average ability, but that day I failed in a bet, and after the stele was cheated, I was beaten, fell into a coma, and had a strange dream, as if A fairy pointed me out from a dream, and I was enlightened in an instant. When I woke up, I had a lot of inventions and creations in my mind, and I was able to speak them out, and my literary talent was flying. It's because my chance has arrived, or maybe my ancestors have accumulated virtue and have a celestial fate, and some immortals have entrusted me with a dream to give me enlightenment."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Yang Ling'er was very surprised and half-believed.

Su Chen continued: "Don't forget, according to the historical records, Han Gaozu Liu Bang was still a country ruffian in his 40s, he ate and slacked off all day long, and he also dreamed of the Red Emperor, then killed the White Snake to revolt, and finally became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. It's changed even more."

When Yang Ling'er heard the allusion of "killing the white snake uprising", she believed it a little bit. The birth or transformation of many important figures in the history books were all related to dreams.

For example, Liu Bang's current wife Liu, it is rumored that she often likes to rest on the hillside next to a large water lake. One day when she was resting there, she dreamed that she met a fairy.At that time, there was lightning and thunder, and the grandfather was worried about Liu Yu, so he went to see why she hadn't come back. Who knew that he saw a dragon hovering above Liu Yu, and what was even more strange was that Liu Yu became pregnant because of this. Under Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The element of fiction here is even greater, it is completely deified that the feudal rulers are different, and it becomes a propaganda story of the noble identity and status of the Ninth Five Emperors.

But this era doesn't use so much natural science knowledge, so Yang Ling'er can believe Su Chen's explanation.

Yang Ling'er asked curiously: "Brother Su Chen, can you really defeat Wu Yue's army when you go to Runzhou this time?"

Su Chen shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "It's hard to say now, after we need to match up, I will wait and see and study the situation of Wuyue's army, materials, strength, supplies, etc., and make a decision. In addition to fighting skills, you also need to I have little experience in leading soldiers, fighting for national power, fighting for food and grass, and I have little experience in leading soldiers, and I still can't do it like Zhuge Kongming and Zhang Zifang, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away."

Yang Ling'er nodded, and said: "Brother Su Chen, do you think that the Tang Kingdom is really worthy of our protection?"

Su Chen raised his head and glanced at Ling'er, wondering why he asked such a question?
"Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Yang Ling'er was already prepared, and replied: "I went shopping, and heard many street people and Confucian scholars talk about the Tang Dynasty. The government is in a downturn, the treasury is empty, and the officials have no ability to govern the country. I was thinking, is it worthwhile for us to resist the Song army and contribute to Tang!"

Su Chen didn't need to think too much, he just discussed the matter and explained: "Although it is said that a gentleman should know the current affairs without standing under a dangerous wall, but this land belongs to us Jiangnan people. If there is a chance, we still hope to serve the country , You can’t turn against us just because of strength or weakness. You still need to have this backbone and integrity, unless in the end, you are powerless and hard to stop. At that time, let’s think about the choice between life and death and submission. The country contributes its strength to protect the people of one side."

Yang Ling'er nodded when she heard the words, and felt that what Su Chen said made sense.

In her heart, she really wanted to say that she was a descendant of the Yang Wu royal family, with the support of tens of thousands of descendants of Heiyundu, she would overthrow Nantang at any time, but Yang Linger didn't open her mouth, feeling that the time had not yet come.

Su Chen said: "Okay, it's getting late, Ling'er should also rest, I went to bed after drinking the bird's nest soup, tomorrow the official family will send off with civil and military officials."

"Yeah, brother Su Chen should pay more attention to safety during this trip."

"Definitely!" Su Chen smiled, drank the bird's nest soup, and then put down the blue and white porcelain bowl.

Yang Ling'er took the empty bowl and put it in the wooden box. She took a deep look at Su Chen, then turned and left the study.

Looking at Xiao Nizi's figure, for some reason, Su Chen always felt that Ling'er had become a little weird. As for what was weird, he couldn't tell for the time being.

Su Chen shook his head, he didn't want to think about it anymore, he planned to sleep in Liu Mo Nong's room tonight, he was about to say goodbye, and it was time for him to break.
