Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 611 Suspecting Another Identity
Bianjing City, the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Kuangyin received a secret memorial from Ding Deyu from Runzhou, Tang State, which was filled with a series of events that happened during the period when the Eastern Route Army set off from Changzhou and attacked Runzhou.

Here, one person is highlighted, and that is Su Chen!

That's right, in this memorial, [-]% of the content revolves around Su Chen and what he has done recently.

First of all, the first thing is that the [-] vanguard troops sent by Wu Yue from Changzhou were ambushed by the Tang army on the way to Runzhou, and more than half of them were lost. After investigation, it was found that the leading general was this Su Chen.I didn't expect this man to be brave and resourceful. Although his talent and name are well known in the world, and his poems and articles are well written, he didn't expect that this man was also skilled in martial arts and was proficient in leading troops. He ambushed the vanguard army of Wu and Yue, and lost more than half of his troops. .

The second thing is that during the siege, Wu Yue's army used the night to attack the city, and when the night was foggy, they sent people to destroy the iron gate where the Grand Canal entered the north city wall of Runzhou, so that many Wu Yue soldiers passed through the canal and went downstream. Next, they entered the city and launched a sneak attack. It turned out that Su Chen just sent someone to patrol the city. They happened to discover this incident and issued an early warning. Afterwards, Su Chen personally led an army and blocked the mouth of the canal in the city, repelling Wu Yue's soldiers and horses. ruined the plan.

The third thing is that the Wuyue army used a series of evil tricks to attack the city with the people of Tang as a cover. Among them, Wuyue spies were mixed into the city, and the army then attacked the city. The newly developed poisonous smoke was thrown under the city, which smoked down a large number of Wuyue soldiers and horses, and once again destroyed the plan to seize the city.

The fourth thing is that the Tang army coach Lu Jiang was stabbed by an assassin with a poisoned dagger. There was almost no cure, and his life was dying. In the end, it was Su Chen who stepped forward and used laparotomy to rescue Lu Jiang and detoxify him. At present, Lu Jiang is recuperating from his injuries, and Su Chen takes over the management of Runzhou's defense and becomes the interim commander.

In the two months before and after, Su Chen performed four times, which is absolutely beyond what ordinary people can do. With this person guarding Runzhou, Wu Yue's army was unable to move an inch, and was forced to stop outside Runzhou City. The result was still nothing, which affected the progress of Wu Yue's army on the East Road.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned after reading this memorial. He was a little angry at Su Cheng's repeated sabotage of the plans and progress of Wuyue's army; but Zhao Kuangyin admired and even cherished his talent for being able to do this alone.

Combined, Su Chen's poems, poems, martial arts novels, etc., are widely spread and famous all over the world. Even scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty are studying them, which has a deep influence. Even the princes in the palace don't like to read Rujia scriptures. They are all reading Su Chen's martial arts novels, which shows its influence.

Zhao Kuangyin now loves and hates this Su Chen. He said to the two most proud confidantes in the imperial study, Tongping Zhangshi Zhao Pu and the Chief of the Department of Internal Affairs and Commander of the Wude Department Wang Jien, "You also have a look. Well, this is a confidential memorial letter from the eastern front of the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. It was written by the supervisor Ding Deyu himself. There is only one person mentioned above, that is, Su Chen. He has already written clearly what he did. Surprised, but also hateful."

After hearing this, Wang Jien and Zhao Pu also felt a little bit of admiration and indignation for this talented Su Chen after reading this secret memorial.

Zhao Pu sighed: "Indeed, look at it this way. If Su Chen hadn't been involved, Runzhou City would have been destroyed. If Tang Guo lost the East Gate, Wuyue's [-] troops would arrive at Jinling City, which would play a role in besieging the city and fighting for aid. Once Jinling City is besieged, Li Yu and the ministers will inevitably transfer Lin Renzhao's army back to the defense in a panic, so that the western front will collapse instantly.

"So, the progress of the eastern front will be of great help to the entire battle situation. As a result, it is currently stuck under the city of Runzhou, and it is difficult to advance."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I think so too, so I also find Su Chen really infuriating!"

Zhao Pu continued to say with emotion: "Jiang Zuo Su Lang is really impressive. I thought he was just a Confucian scholar. He can write some poems and he will be popular; a few parallel prose and novels can have a great influence on the literary world of later generations. But there are many such people in the past, such as Li Bai, the poet fairy, Du Fu, the poet sage, and Li He, Bai Juyi, Liu Zongyuan, Du Mu, Li Shangyin, etc., all of them are not talented, and their poems and articles have been passed down through the ages, but these people have no military knowledge. Neither Making too much military performance has no great influence on the court's governance, etc., and they have not even held much official positions. Almost these great writers have not been reused by the court. This Su Chen is different. In such a short period of time, it is indeed very rare to achieve such a large influence!"

Wang Ji'en said: "Yes, I also feel that Jiangzuo Sulang is a bit of a god. It only took him one year from his debut to becoming famous. In the end, Lianzhong got to know Yuan and Zhuangyuan, so he was appointed to the army and became a supervisor. The army, and has repeatedly plotted against our army's strategy, such a person is really a serious problem, get rid of it as soon as possible!"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were deep, and with a sense of wisdom, he said: "I still have a doubt! It is that Wu Desi has sent many people to investigate in Sichuan in the past six months and found something. First, Meng Xuanyu, the second prince of Meng, is a little mysterious. He is not close to women, before the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was mediocre, never heard of how smart he was, and was even weak and sick, and seldom went out. As a result, in the past two years, he suddenly changed into a different person, and his reputation in Sichuan suddenly improved. Said, Meng Xuanyu always had a twin sister, but she seemed to disappear when she grew up, and she rarely showed up, which is very strange!

"Secondly, next to the Second Prince Meng, there used to be a very resourceful Mr. Chen. After the Song army retreated, this Mr. Chen never appeared again, as if he disappeared out of thin air. According to the latest investigation by Wu Desi, this Mr. Chen The young master has never appeared in the Shu Kingdom before, but the second prince Meng went to the Southern Tang Dynasty and brought him back to Bashu after he went on an envoy; I have reason to guess that Mr. Chen, who advised the Shu Kingdom and repelled my Song army , Is it the same person as this Su Chen?
"What!" Zhao Pu and Wang Jien were stunned when they heard such speculation.

Zhao Pu asked suspiciously: "Official, do you have any concrete evidence?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "These are the spies of the Wu De Division. In the land of Bashu, the clues and evidence found are incomplete, so it is impossible to gather together to prove that Mr. Chen is this Su Chen! But the timing is coincidental. In those days, Su Chen Chen also disappeared from Runzhou, and it is said that he went out to practice. All kinds of signs put together, many clues and guidance, can be linked together, Chen Gongzi and Su Chen, it feels like one person!"
