Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 576
The capital city of the Kingdom of Shu, in the newly conferred Duke of Zhen's mansion.

Meng Xuanyu received a secret report from Flying Eagle from the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and saw a striking news: the Danshui victory, the Tang army's ambush was successful, and thousands of Wuyue soldiers were beheaded.

When he browsed through, a smile appeared on his face, as bright as a flower, and extremely handsome.

Meng Xuanyu felt very happy, and said with a smile: "I knew that Su Chen would definitely not follow the steps, passively defend, and play cards according to common sense. Sure enough, he was not to be outdone, and he did not stand idly by. He actually served as the supervisor and went to Runzhou City to resist Wu Yue's invasion , and before confronting the main forces of Wu Yue, he led his men to ambushe the vanguard of Wu Yue soldiers in the land of Danshui, and wiped out thousands of enemies, hahaha, not bad, it really is something Jiangzuo Sulang can do."

After listening, Wei Ying said to Meng Xuanyu: "This Mr. Su is really unexpected."

Meng Xuanyu glanced at him, and snorted softly: "How can you call it unexpected? My Highness completely expected it. Su Chen's talent is unparalleled in the world. As long as he is willing to make a move, there will be no problem. Tang Guo may not be completely defeated this time, at least The Wuyue soldiers in the north will not take advantage, I believe Su Chen will definitely defeat the opponent."

"Your Highness has such confidence in Mr. Su?"

Meng Xuanyu nodded and said: "Of course, Su Chen's various performances in the past year have been unexpected. There are so many unexpected things, but I don't feel surprised. If others can't do it, it's normal, but As Su Chen, he can do what others can't, this is Jiang Zuo Su Lang's skill!"

After hearing this, Wei Ying was a little speechless. Now he felt that His Royal Highness had more and more blind trust in Su Chen.

Of course, Wei Ying also knows that Su Chen's unparalleled talent in poetry, high school champion, and martial arts novels make Wei Ying admire him very much, and he has even become a die-hard fan of his books.

In terms of military affairs, it is also remarkable. After all, the last time the Shu Kingdom was able to survive, it also had a lot to do with Su Chen assisting the Second Highness in making suggestions and fighting against the Song enemies together.

Therefore, Weiying did not refute at this time.

"Your Highness, should we still send troops to rescue Tang?"

Meng Xuanyu thought for a while and said: "We still have to send out troops. We can gather some troops and advance southward along the Yangtze River. This time I personally entered the palace and explained to my father that we may not directly fight the Song army, but we can involve the Song army." The attention of the army forces them to be unable to fight Nantang wholeheartedly, and if they are distracted, it will also be of great help to Nantang."

Wei Ying sighed: "Your Highness is very fond of Mr. Su and Tang Guo!"

Meng Xuanyu said: "Of course, after all, our country of Shu was able to keep it, which has a lot to do with Su Chen's efforts. Now that Su Chen and Tang country are facing threats, I don't care about Tang country's face, but I also want to help him out of Su Chen's affection." Let's change the favor from last time. And Li Yu doesn't understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but I, Meng Xuanyu, still understand."

"We sent troops to suppress the Song army, and let the Song army fall into a quagmire, unable to complete the strategic intention of unifying the south and destroying the Tang state. Only in this way can the Song state retreat, calm down, and give up the idea of ​​​​unification. In this way, whether it is the Tang state or the Northern Han Dynasty Only the Kingdom of Shu, Shu, and Southern Han can survive. Otherwise, when the Song Dynasty wiped out the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wu Yue belonged to the Song Dynasty, then the next target of the Song Dynasty must be the Kingdom of Shu and the Southern Han Dynasty.”

"It makes sense." Wei Ying also agreed with His Highness's statement.

Meng Xuanyu was obviously in a good mood, stood up and walked to the pavilion in the courtyard, grabbed a handful of bait, and threw it into the lotus-blossoming pond, teasing the fish in the pond while whistling.

His mood was entirely because of Su Chen's great victory, which made him happy.

This kind of Su Chen, he found it interesting, and kept surprising him, full of expectations.

"Boom!"

Outside the city of Runzhou, a few miles to the southeast, thousands of cavalry came roaring and galloping, with flags fluttering and dust flying, it was the arrival of Wu Yue's army.

These thousands of cavalry, as the vanguard of the road, rushed forward, leveled the obstacles on the road, and increased their momentum.

Behind these thousands of cavalry came the [-] Wuyue Army, which was divided into square formations to connect with each other, sonorous and forceful, pushing forward like a mountain.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the flags are flying, and the momentum is vigorous.

Du Yu, a Marquis of Duyu, rode his horse up to the coach Song Chengli, and said, "General Song, it's Runzhou City right now."

Song Chengli, the commander of the Wuyue army, was wearing an expensive chain mail, sitting on the back of a horse, looking at the ancient city of Runzhou several miles away, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Because of the great victory of Danshui, thousands of Wu Yueerlang suffered heavy casualties, and he felt resentful and angry about it.

Song Chengli snorted and said, "It's finally here. The blood debt should be paid in blood. The Tang army ambushed our army's vanguard two days ago, causing heavy casualties. This revenge will be recovered under the city of Runzhou. People, especially Su Chen and those Du Yuhous, all have their heads hung on the gate of the city for public display!"

Du Yu, the Marquis of Yu in Nadu, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "General Song, it is said that Su Chen is the supervisor of the Runzhou garrison. He was also the leader of the vanguard army that ambushed us last time. His poems, articles, and novels have already been published in our Wuyue Kingdom has spread, and many scholars worship him very much, if we are the leader and hang on the city gate, will we offend the scholars all over the world?"

Song Chengli said disdainfully: "That's a scholar's business. Now that he's on the battlefield, he is our enemy. We can't show him extra favors just because he wrote some good articles."

"I'm afraid that the general will be written into the literature and history, and written by those literati with hatred!" Du Yuhou Du Yu reminded with some worry.

Song Chengli hesitated for a moment, he also knew that literati's pens were powerful, if he was scolded by literati for a lifetime because of beheading Su Chen, and became the eternal evil general, it would not be worth it.

He thought for a while, and said: "This Su Chen, whether to behead his head or not, can be decided later, but Runzhou City must be breached, and the Tang army inside must be responsible for the battle of Danshui, so as to repay my Wu Yueerlang's favor." A thousand dead souls."

"It must be!" Du Yu echoed, and asked again: "General Song, should we set up camp first, or should we directly approach the city and attack the city?"

Song Chengli pondered for a while, and said: "The army went directly to the city, where the two arrows were, rested in place, and sent a Du Yuhou to choose a site to set up camp, and the rest of the troops gathered under the city of Runzhou. After a short rest, after replenishing water and food, they went The siege is underway.

"There is a saying in the art of war, one go at a time, then decline again, and three times exhaust. This is clearly recorded in the art of war. Since we have come to the city of Runzhou with tens of thousands of troops and a great reputation, we will use this vigor to carry out a wave of siege first. , Let the Tang army defending the city be terrified. It would be great if we can take Runzhou in one go. If we can’t take it today, we can also give Tang army a disarm and deter the morale of Tang army!"

Duyu Hou nodded and said: "General Song is still considerate, then he will send orders to the three armies. After arriving at the city, rest for a while, and then prepare to attack the city."

Song Chengli nodded slightly, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "Okay, let's pass on this military order, all the three armies are tense up, don't be depraved, the big battle is about to begin!"
