Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 560
After Li Yu finished speaking, he ordered the general in person and awarded the tiger talisman. The general Lu Jiang and the supervising army Su Chen stepped onto the high platform to accept the general.

When Su Chen stood on the high platform, he received far more attention than Lu Jiang.

"That's Su Chen, the number one scholar served as the supervisor!"

"That's right, it's Jiangzuo Sulang, I don't know if he knows anything about military affairs."

"The No. [-] scholar has both civil and military skills. Although he has never joined the army, how many people can compare his talents and learning throughout the ages? Surely there is no problem?"

But some people objected: "That's not necessarily the case. Don't forget that Li Bai, Du Fu and others in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were poets and saints, but did they ever know how to use soldiers? A literary master is not the same as a military master!"

"Su Zhuangyuan is different from those predecessors. Looking at the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Condor Shooting novels he wrote, there are many stories about martial arts heroes and leading troops. This shows that Su Zhuangyuan understands the art of war!"

Many common people and scholars are arguing, but more people firmly believe that Su Chen can succeed.

"General Lu, Su Jianjun, this trip is going to Runzhou, serve the country, defeat Wu Yue's invaders, and guard the east gate of Jinling!"

"I will never disgrace my life!" General Lu took the tiger talisman and vowed.

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's time to sacrifice the flag."

Lu Jiang was already old, with a half-white beard and hair, looking desolate and solemn. At this time, he turned around, glanced at the three armies below, and said in a long voice: "Swear to destroy the Wu thief, protect me in Tang Dynasty, soldiers, beat the drums and sacrifice the flag -"

"Beat the drums, sacrifice the flag—" The order was passed down from north to south, layer by layer, and the voices of singing continued in an endless stream.

"Tom tom tom! tom tom tom—"

The dull and huge drum sound resounded through the three armies, piercing the silence of the sky.

"Kill--" Dozens of soldiers held long knives, aimed at the cattle and beasts tied to the altar, raised and lowered their knives in neat movements, and drew a cold streak.

The heads of those livestock were chopped off at the same time, and blood was sprinkled all over the school grounds and on the Tang flag.

"Victory!"

"Victorious—"

The [-] imperial guards raised their swords and guns high, shouting to kill in unison, and their momentum reached the sky.

Su Chen stood on the high platform, seeing it with his own eyes, his blood boiled with enthusiasm.This is the ancient general who goes out to fight, inspires the blood of men, defends the family and the country, fights on the battlefield, and guards the frontier...

"From now on, the road to slaughter at the end of the Five Dynasties has begun!"

Su Chen secretly sighed in his heart, his fighting spirit was high and his blood was burning.

In the front row of the audience, Duyu Hou Yanyan, Ma Chengxin, Ma Chengjun and others, wearing armor and full of blood, also shouted loudly with enthusiasm!
Lu Jiang was old and strong, with his war robe fluttering, got off the general platform, turned over and jumped on the horseback, waved forward, and shouted: "The three armies set out!"

The war drums continued to beat, the horns blew, heavy and loud, and the beating symphony was in everyone's heart.

The [-] forbidden troops are like long snakes lined up, heading west, with the "Lu" flag flying high, mighty and mighty.

On the outskirts of the martial arts arena, in front of the two carriages, Bai Susu, Peng Jingjing and other women are also saying goodbye.

"Sister Xu, Miss Zhou, Ling'er, Mo Nong, we're back in Runzhou, and we'll get together when the war is over." Bai Susu wore a long plain white dress that dragged the floor, and a jasper hairpin on her head held Ruyun's beautiful woman in place. The hair is long and the hair is long, the two fragrant shoulders are slanted down, the clothes are blowing in the wind, and the posture is alluring.

Zhou Jiamin was more emotional, wiped away tears, and said, "You two sisters, you should keep it safe and take good care of Su Chen."

"Don't worry, Su Chen is definitely fine, he is proficient in the art of war, and he will definitely be able to repel Wu Yue's army!" Peng Jingjing didn't feel sad, but looked forward to going to the battlefield.

Liu Mo Nong was also a little sentimental and depressed.

Talented girl Xu Qingwan also wanted to follow her to Runzhou, but Su Chen asked her to take charge of the Tiangong Academy here and speed up the construction, so talented girl Xu stayed in Jinling.

"Take care!"

"Okay, we'll meet again when we get back." Bai Susu and Peng Jingjing pedaled and followed the army.

The girls looked at the back of the army going away, their eyes became moist.

Runzhou is only more than 100 miles away from Jinling City. According to the current marching speed, it can be reached in two days.

The [-] elite forbidden army, divided into [-] cavalry, [-] archers, and [-] infantry, marched from the edge of Jinling City to Runzhou, followed by a train of grain and grass.

Lu Jiang is a veteran, but he was useless before and is about to retire. He is still the Marquis of Duyu. This time, he was recommended by the new party Pan You and others, and finally has a chance to make his mark.

Although Lu Jiang is old, but because he has practiced martial arts for many years, his body is strong, which is similar to that of a middle-aged man. He is well versed in the art of war, and he knows how to camp, how to march, and how to calculate food, grass and military pay.

On the first night, they set up camp and walked halfway. It is estimated that they will arrive in Runzhou City in the evening of the next day.

At night, Lu Jiang organized a meeting. For the first time, the supervisor, the general, the Marquis of Duyu, and the staff gathered together, and sat down in primary and secondary seats to discuss matters.

Facing a huge cowhide map, Lu Jiang said: "Generals, we will arrive in Runzhou tomorrow. According to intelligence, the [-] vanguard troops of Wu Yue's division have already set off from Changzhou, one day later than us. Fang’s tens of thousands of troops will be able to arrive at the city of Runzhou one after another in three days, and after we arrive in Runzhou, we will be able to confront the Wuyue soldiers in one day at the earliest, and we must always be ready to enter the battle.”

"Don't worry, General Lu, I can't wait to meet Wu Yue and those bastards."

"I heard that Wu Yue's soldiers did all sorts of crimes in Changzhou City. They raped, raped and plundered, and killed many gentry and women. We must avenge this revenge and pay it back!"

At this time, Yan Yan stood up, clasped his fists and said: "General Lu, the last general proposed to send a team of 5000 troops, lightly loaded, to ambush on the road that the Wuyue vanguard must pass. In this way, the Wuyue vanguard can be caught off guard. I never imagined that our army would carry out an ambush, and I have great confidence!"

"This plan is very good!" Lu Jiang smiled, and he still approved of Xie Yan's proposal.

"What do you generals think?"

Duyu Hou Ma Chengcheng got up and clasped his fists and said: "The general agrees, and is willing to go with Xiyan."

Lu Jiang asked Su Chen: "Young Scholar, what do you think?"

Although he is the coach, Su Chen, as the supervisor of the army, also has decision-making power, and Lu Jiang also understands that Su Chen is a rising upstart, favored by the royal family, and Han Xizai's favorite student, his status and potential are more respected than him, so, Lu Jiang Jiang also respected him a little.

Everyone also looked at Su Chen, not knowing what he thought, after all Su Chen's reputation was very high, most of the people were called by him to come over.

Su Chen smiled and said: "I think General Yanyan's suggestion is very good. Wu Yue's army just won a big victory and broke through Changzhou. It's a time of pride, so we won't be on guard. Let's send out a surprise army, set up ambushes along the way, and fight with cavalry and archers. The ambush has a great chance of winning, and our supervisor can also go there and supervise it personally."

When the generals heard that he not only agreed, but also went into battle with the army to ambush himself, he was so courageous, and they all showed some recognition and respect.
