Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 571
Seeing that old man Bai didn't seem to believe it, Su Chen showed a confident smile on his cheeks, and said calmly: "The three armies can win the commander, but a man can't lose the ambition. When the country is in crisis, the people with lofty ideals should rise up and resist. Back then Zhang Zifang Bo Langsha assassinated Qin Shihuang, What kind of courage is needed, knowing that it can’t be done, it takes great courage and arrogance to make things happen. One hundred and two Qin Guan will eventually belong to Chu, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. Today, facing the Song Army, you can’t Be cowardly before fighting!"

"Furthermore, the use of soldiers is a major matter of the country. The place of death and life, the way of survival, should be planned before the battle. Those who use soldiers well will subdue their soldiers instead of fighting, and pull out their cities instead of attacking them. They must fight with all their strength. In the world, this is the method of planning an attack. As long as we are well versed in these military arts, foresee many key factors in advance, take precautions, first be invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious, we will be able to know ourselves and the enemy, and win the enemy steadily."

After listening to Su Chen's words, old man Bai fell into a kind of stunned, he never expected that Su Chen would say such a military theory, and the allusions of masters in the art of war came at his fingertips, which made him completely admired and admired.

Peng Jingjing couldn't hide her excitement at the side, because she had read all of the allusions on the art of war here, but she couldn't talk like Su Chen, finishing the finishing touch, drawing them into practice, speaking so rigorously, logically and self-consistently, only reading it Many classics on the art of war can only be smoothed out so completely with their own thinking and insights.

Peng Jingjing agreed with her fiancé Su Chen's views very much, and even praised in person: "Brother Chen, what you said is very good, we can definitely keep Runzhou."

Bai Susu also said beside him: "I didn't expect Brother Chen to have so many insights. I believe we will be able to defend Runzhou and repel the troops of Wuyue Kingdom."

Old Man Bai sighed and said: "I hope it's not just talking about wars on paper like Zhao Kuo, and I also hope that Runzhou can be defended, so that at least the people in the city will not suffer, and neither will my Bai family. Only people in the city can live normally and safely. Su Chen, although we have had many misunderstandings and unhappiness in the past, in the face of such righteousness, my Bai family will support you free of charge, and make any decision that is conducive to protecting Runzhou City, whether it is Money, food, or other supplies, as long as the Bai family needs help, the Bai family will be obliged."

Su Chen expressed his gratitude and said: "First of all, I would like to thank the old man for his generosity. If other wealthy families can understand the overall situation like the Bai family and are willing to give, then Runzhou will be able to defeat the invading enemy with one heart, one iron bucket, and the cooperation of the army and the people. If the army is just a city guard fighting alone without any help, it is like a tree without roots, and it is destined to be difficult to last."

Mr. Bai nodded and said: "You can do it with confidence. Now is the opportunity for young people to take up the responsibility. We people are old, useless, and don't know enough. It depends on how young people pay. , defending the family and the country, guarding the land in the south of the Yangtze River."

Su Chen said: "Please rest assured, old man, Su Chen will not disgrace his life, guard his homeland, prevent it from being baptized by war, let alone let the people in the city suffer disaster."

"Okay!" The old man nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Chen's words, and agreeing with his personal thoughts.

The more this is the case, the stronger the regret and guilt in my heart. I only hate that I had poor eyesight and was not able to judge people correctly. I didn't discover these advantages and qualities of Su Chen, which delayed Bai Susu's engagement with him, and didn't proceed. As for missing this perfect son-in-law.

Old man Bai thought to himself, after these things are over, he must find an opportunity to put the important matter of the marriage of the two young people on the agenda again, and renew the relationship.

Otherwise, I really can't rest in peace, old man Bai thought in his heart.

At this time, the dried fish in the pond trembled, and some fish bit the bait. The old man turned around and said a little excitedly, "I took the bait, I took the bait. After fishing for half a stick of incense, I finally bit the bait."

He picked up the fishing rod with trembling hands, and indeed a fish caught the hook. This kind of fun made old man Bai feel much better.

Su Chen didn't want to disturb his interest here, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye and left Master Bai's yard.

Bai Susu said while walking: "Brother Chen, do you want to stay for dinner and go back in the evening?"

Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, at the moment of military affairs, I'm in a hurry to go back and make some plans for defending the city. There's no need to waste time. I'll just go back to the residence and simply eat my food."

Bai Susu also understood Su Chen's situation, and defending the city was the top priority, so she no longer insisted on staying.

Peng Jingjing said to Bai Susu: "Sister Susu, why don't you go to Su's house to eat at night?"

Bai Susu smiled and shook her head: "I won't be there tonight. Grandpa and father just finished their follow-up visits. I want to stay and talk with them. I'll go see you tomorrow and bring some dishes from Chef Bairunlou."

Peng Jingjing smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I haven't eaten the dishes of Baijia Bairunlou for a long time, and I just ordered a table of sumptuous dishes tomorrow, and I'll bring them to drink.

Bai Susu laughed, agreed, and sent Su Chen and Peng Jingjing to leave the White Mansion.

Su Chen returned to the mansion in a hurry, and began to directly enter the study room to study the formula of black powder. At the same time, he sent people to bring the charcoal, sulfur and other materials of black powder to the mansion one by one, preparing to start mixing gunpowder at night, designing the projection device and Explosive weapons.

This kind of thing can be regarded as a sharp weapon for defending the city. When the opponent does not have it, if you master it yourself, it can provide a major boost at a critical moment and change the direction of the battlefield.

However, the matter is of great importance, and he will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary, because once the black powder is spread to the north and used by the Song army, it will also pose a threat to Tang.

In addition, Su Chen will not forget that one of the main reasons for the fall of Changzhou was the rebellion in the city. This point also needs to be paid close attention to, and the enemy spies in the city should be searched.

The Sixth Office of the Secret Spy Division has sent four staffs to cooperate with Su Chen to defend Runzhou. This is a dark force.

At dusk, the command rooms of the four places visited after dark, and met Su Chen in the study.

Su Chen expressed his worries: "Changzhou's defeat is related to the fact that there are many enemy spies and roaming lords in the city who destroyed the grain, grass and military horses in Changzhou. The internal and external cooperation created chaos, which led to Changzhou's rapid defeat. Even General Liu, who guarded the city, He was also seriously injured by a cold arrow and was sent back to the capital."

"We must learn from this lesson. The secret spy department is responsible for bringing enough manpower, placing them in the city, strictly monitoring, and inquiring about the spies and roaming lords of Song and Wuyue. Don't let these rats show up, or make them unable to make trouble."

Peng Kang, the commander of the first department, said: "Yes, but our secret spy team has not been established for a while, and we don't have so many people for the time being, and we are not familiar with Runzhou, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find out all of them for a while."

Su Chen said: "It's okay, I've lived in Runzhou for a long time, there are many places where I can draw on, such as the local beggar gang, and the Bai family can help, and you'd better get some small gangs in the city , Local snake organization, find a way to control, as your eyes and ears, focus on checking and monitoring recent outsiders."

Peng Kang nodded and said, "Understood, we know what to do."

Su Chen thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, send some manpower to Yuhang to spread the news of Wuyue's defeat and shake the Wuyue King Qian Chu behind. This person is old and lacks vigor. On the one hand, he was under the pressure of the Song State, and on the other hand, he wanted to take revenge on the Tang State. However, he himself lacked ambition and was indecisive. As long as we spread the news of the Danshui victory and the failure of the Wuyue army, it will shake Qian Chu The determination to continue to invest in troops.”

"This will help us to a certain extent on the front line. The rear is unstable, and there is not enough guarantee of money and food on the front line, which will affect the front line operations of Wu Yue soldiers."

Commander Liu Jingzheng of the three offices nodded and said: "This method is feasible. I will immediately send a few reliable secret spies to Hangzhou Mansion to spread the news, bribe some Yuhang officials, and shake their rear."

Su Chen looked at Tang Tingrui, the commander of the Sixth Division, and asked, "Have you sent anyone to Bianjing in the north? I want you to pay close attention to whether there is a conflict of interest between Zhao Kuangyin, his younger brother King Jin, and Prime Minister Zhao Pu. It is a means for us to disintegrate the Song court."

Tang Tingrui was a little puzzled, and asked: "The commissioner intends to use division methods to deal with the Zhao official family, King Jin, and Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and let them fight among themselves in the court."

Su Chen said: "That's right, their interests may not have been realized right now, but we can continue to create some remarks and troubles. After all, Zhao Guan's family has become the emperor. Whether his throne will be passed on to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi or to his own son, that's the question. It is full of contradictions. Zhao Pu has a marriage relationship with the eldest prince. He is his father-in-law. He must support the eldest prince. Zhao Guangyi has become the king of Jin and the prefect of Kaifeng. He is constantly accumulating power. Splitting, life-and-death scenes appear, we must make good use of this, and then we can internally destroy and disintegrate Song.

The commanders of the four divisions didn't understand, but since Sutis said so, they followed suit.
