Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 619

In Erythrina City, the spacious and long alleys are filled with the sound of fighting.

Corpses kept falling, and blood sprayed continuously. Originally, these officers, soldiers and guards were all local strong men who joined the army, but now they are their own masters.

Zhang Zhicheng went straight to Chen Hongjin with a gun. Both of them were skilled in martial arts, and they fought back and forth on horseback.

As time passed, the sounds of fighting outside the alley also approached.

The fire blazed into the sky, and Chen Hongjin was anxious. He felt that it would be difficult for him to break out of the encirclement if this continued, so he made a feint and turned around to lead the guards to break out of the encirclement.

But the archers ambushing in the corner seized the opportunity to attack Chen Hongjin coldly.

These archers were Zhang Zhicheng's confidantes who had arranged in advance. They used crossbows and bows to stare at Chen Hongjin for a long time. If they couldn't take him down, they planned to let the archers shoot cold arrows to kill him.

shhhhh!

Several cold arrows shot at Chen Hongjin, and he fell to the ground with his horse and man.

Chen Hongjin was hit by three arrows in his left arm, back, and waist. After rolling to the ground, he was already injured and it was difficult to break out.

But Zhang Zhicheng didn't intend to keep him, so he rode his horse close, and a shot exploded, piercing directly into Chen Hongjin's chest.

After drawing the gun, blood sprayed three feet.

Chen Hongjin, the general who ruled Zhangquan and Quanzhou, died immediately.

Seeing Chen Hongjin's death, Zhang Zhicheng yelled: "Uncle, my nephew has avenged you, you can smile at Jiuquan now."

After he yelled, all the soldiers around him stopped. Seeing that the commander was dead, some guards became silent and looked around, wondering if they still needed to fight.

Zhang Zhicheng shouted to the guards: "Put down your weapons, but you will not die. If you continue to resist, you will all be killed, even your wives, children and family members will not be spared."

After hearing this threat, all the guards dropped their weapons one after another, stopped fighting and became prisoners directly.

That night, fighting took place throughout the streets and alleys of Citong City outside the city gates. Until the next day, the fighting ended and the battlefield began to be cleared.

Citong City was captured by the forces of Heiyundu just like that.

Zhao Pu, the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, after many days of preparation, had already written letters to persuade Su Chen and Lin Renzhao to persuade them to surrender, some of which were copied by Zhao Kuangyin himself, and sent to Jiangnan in batches.

Wang Jien ordered Wu Desi to send spies to cooperate. In addition to sending letters smoothly, some "special" letters had to be made to appear lost and captured, and were "accidentally" obtained by Tang army scouts, so as to play a role in alienation.

At the same time, Zhao Pu also wrote letters to Cao Bin, the front-line combat commander, and Ding Deyu, the supervisor of the army, so that the two of them could also participate in the divorce plan. They could also write letters by themselves in normal times, and kept writing to Lin Renzhao and Su Chen.

In this way, the matter is made public, everyone knows it, it is more reliable and reliable, and it is hard to argue.

Half a month later, the first letter finally arrived outside Runzhou City.

Ding Deyu sent soldiers to deliver the letter outside the city gate, threatening that it was a letter addressed to the Tang army commander Su Chen, and it was of great importance to pass on, otherwise, no one would be able to afford to delay the diplomatic relations and war between the two countries.

When the guards of the Tang army heard the words, they immediately took back the two letters and sent them to Su Chen's mansion.

After Su Chen opened the first letter, he was a little surprised, because the letter he took was actually a letter written to him by Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin himself.

The content of the letter, apart from praising his talent, which Zhao Kuangyin respected very much, mainly revolved around persuading him to surrender. The emperor of a country persuaded Su Chen to join the Northern Song Dynasty. With his talent, he would be reused even if he went to the Song Dynasty.

The other one was written by Ding Deyu. The supervisor Ding Deyu mainly discussed the war, from the perspective of the disparity between the soldiers of the two sides.The comparison of national power, the trend of history, etc. have been discussed in many aspects, and it is impossible for the Tang army to resist.Su Chen can only be successful if he joins the Great Song Dynasty, and he will conform to the trend of history and the general trend of history.

These two letters really touched Su Chen's heart. He never thought that Zhao Kuangyin, the king of a country, would personally write to him in the future Song Taizu.

But the current Su Chen has not thought of giving up Runzhou and Southern Tang just like that, because this is his hometown, and he has other relatives and friends. He can't be so selfish, otherwise he won't be able to face Jiangdong's elders in the future, and it will make all the scholars Verbal criticism.

Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Cheng would not consider defecting halfway and defecting to the State of Song at this time.

Thinking deeper, Su Chen couldn't help but see cold sweat behind his back. Song Guo would not be so childish. He really wanted to recruit him, and he could easily achieve it, but he still insisted on sending him a letter. It was more of a kind of differentiation and Divide.

Su Chen suddenly realized, and secretly called for danger. If he is complacent and relaxes his vigilance at this time, there is a high possibility that there will be problems in defending the city, and if it spreads among the soldiers, it will also make Tang court ministers and the emperor suspicious of him.

This is a kind of distance meter!
"This Great Song is so insidious, even the emperor Zhao Kuangyin has ended up writing a letter to persuade him to surrender!" Su Chen sighed.

Standing beside her, Peng Qingqing asked in surprise: "Is it true that the Emperor of Song Dynasty wrote you a letter asking you to seek refuge in Song Dynasty?

Su Chen nodded, looked at Peng Jingjing's worried expression, and explained: "You don't have to worry, although he wanted to surrender in his letter, he praised me a lot to express his love for talent, but it was a bit too much, and he didn't want Zhao Kuangyin Literary talent”

Su Chen has read some articles written by Zhao Kuangyin, etc. These literary talents are all written by Hanlin or the servant of Huangmen. Whether it is Zhao Kuangyin's true meaning is hard to say, but the intention of differentiation is obvious.

"This official Zhao's solicitation and persuasion to surrender is only one of them. He even wants to disintegrate our army's fighting spirit to resist to the end, so that we can successfully capture the city!"

"Oh, that's what it means?" Peng Jingjing was puzzled.

Su Chen further explained the deep meaning of this plan: "With this kind of letter of persuasion, other scholars may be proud and complacent. Then when defending the city, they will not hold the heart of death and defend the city." This is also a strategy of alienation. If this matter spreads to the capital, it is conceivable that the emperor and ministers of the Tang Kingdom will also be suspicious of this, and even send new generals to replace them. Under the circumstances, the purpose of writing letters in the Song Dynasty has been achieved."

After Peng Jingjing finished listening, she showed a look of surprise. He didn't think so much, but after listening to Su Chen's speech, he suddenly came to his senses. He didn't expect Da Song to send someone to write a letter. It turned out that it was not that simple.

"Then what do you think?" Peng Jingjing asked.

Su Chen put the two letters into the box and did not burn them directly, because once the matter was leaked out, he could take out the letters as evidence in the future and release them intact to prove his innocence and show that he did not listen. When there is no evidence, it will make people suspicious.

Su Chen said: "For the time being, I have not considered the matter of joining the Great Song Dynasty. After all, I am now the commander of the three armies in Runzhou, and I will not betray the Tang Dynasty halfway. Such a betrayal will be condemned by scholars all over the world in the future. To scold Jiang Zuo Su Lang for his lack of integrity, the loss outweighs the gain.”

Peng Jingjing nodded, and she also had some conflicts in her heart, because she was also worried that Su Chen would suddenly give up the Tang country and seek her own future. This is his country, her father is the prefect of the Jinling Mansion, and her own people are all in Jinling And Runzhou, she didn't want Su Chenzhen to give up this country like that.

However, Peng Qingqing also hoped that Da Song would really look at Su Chen with admiration, so that when the Tang Kingdom perished, Su Chen would be able to save his life and entrust him with important tasks, which was also a way out.

Therefore, Peng Qingqing's emotions are a bit complicated, and there are conflicts between left and right, but this matter is still up to Su Chen himself, and outsiders cannot interfere; now that Peng Jingjing sees that Su Chen has made arrangements, she stops talking. That's right!
