Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 638 Disappointment
In recent days, the Wuyue soldiers have been uncharacteristically not attacking the city, but just besieging the city. They seem to be resting, and they are not worried that the Tang army will go out of the city to attack, because the number of troops in the city is shrinking. The Tang army was at a disadvantage, so Wu Yue's soldiers and horses were not worried that the Tang army would suddenly go out of the city to attack and provoke.

The Tang army in the city was also surprised, because there was no large-scale siege in the past few days. Uncharacteristically, many generals were puzzled, but they did not relax their vigilance. Quiet, often a bigger storm is brewing.

Therefore, many generals of the Tang army felt uneasy. After all, there must be monsters in abnormal situations. They have suffered big losses before, so they dare not take it lightly.

Su Chen left the General's Mansion to Deng Wang Li Congyi. He usually works in his own Su Mansion, and only goes to the General's Mansion if there is a discussion meeting.

Recently, he also found it strange that the Wuyue soldiers had stopped attacking the city recently, and instead of attacking the city, could it be impossible to besiege the city and fight for aid?
Until this day, Su Chen received a letter from Fei Ge in his study, which was a secret message from Jinling, which was related to the secret spy department he had mastered.

He saw the information on the paper, which recorded that the envoys of the Song Dynasty entered Jinling under the leadership of Cheng Dexuan, intending to negotiate peace with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and put forward three conditions, land cession, compensation, and calling for Su Chen by name.

Ask Tang Guo to hand over Su Chen, and follow the envoys north to Bianjing City. When he saw this place, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Because compared with the survival of the country, compared with the life and death of the royal family, he, Su Chen, is just a dispensable person.

If the Northern Song Dynasty really used this as a condition to threaten to retreat, then Su Chen felt that he would really be given up by Li Tang's royal family and sent away as a bargaining chip.

This premonition became stronger and stronger, Su Chen put down the note, his face darkened, thinking about his own way out.

Since traveling to Runzhou more than a year ago, Su Chen has gradually gained a firm foothold in Runzhou. He has met Han Xizai, Bai Su, Peng Jingjing and others. The situation has changed very quickly, and he has also gained a lot of recognition. He has accumulated wealth very quickly. .

At that time, he didn't want to go to the Northern Song Dynasty anymore, because he stayed in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Runzhou was his second hometown, and there were people he cared about, so he didn't want to go to the Northern Song Dynasty again.

When the Great Song army attacked Southern Tang, it was only natural for Su Chen, as a Southern Tang native, to stand up to resist the invasion. All of this was caused by the situation, pushing him forward, unable to turn back.

Today, a choice appeared and pushed him to a crossroads, whether he should stay in Southern Tang and fight to the end, or send him north and submit to Zhao Kuangyin.

With his current talent, even if he went to the Northern Song Dynasty, he would be appreciated by Zhao Kuangyin, and his future would not be much worse than that in the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, Su Chen was also worried that if he went to live in the Northern Song Dynasty, he would also need to stand in line.

Because in the next ten years, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, the eldest prince Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Guangyi will seize power.

If Su Chen passed away and was reused by Zhao Kuangyin, and his interests were tied together, he would easily offend Zhao Guangyi.

According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin will suddenly die suddenly, and Zhao Guangyi will replace Zhao Kuangyin on the throne. At this time, once Su Chen goes to the Northern Song Dynasty, with such a great reputation, he will definitely be wooed by all parties. No matter which side he is on, he will add value to the other side. , but it will also be regarded as a thorn in the side of the other party. When the time comes, I, Peng Jingjing, Bai Susu and others will be caught in the battle of the court in Bianjing, and they will even struggle, and eventually become victims.

This is what Su Chen is worried about, unless he stands on Zhao Kuangyin's side in the open, communicates with Zhao Guangyi secretly, flirts with each other, so that after Zhao Guangyi ascends the throne, he will not do anything to Su Chen.

However, the secret may not be kept. After all, in the next ten or eight years, he will be a fool, play Infernal Affairs, and survive in the cracks. It is really a nightmare for Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, and Zhao Guangyi to doubt him.

Moreover, Su Chen's personality is upright, not the kind of double-faced person.

He couldn't do this kind of thing, so Su Chen resisted from the bottom of his heart to go to the Northern Song Dynasty and get caught up in that kind of power struggle. He didn't like the feeling of being dependent on others and walking on thin ice.

But now Su Chen can't do anything, he can only wait, wait for the court to announce the decision.

Although Han Xizai and other ministers will strongly oppose it, it is a fact that the Tang Dynasty is in danger. The two frontline troops are suppressed by the Song Army, and they do not have much bargaining power.

There is also the Song Party's fall into trouble. As for the new party's Pan You and Li Ping, Su Chen feels that from the perspective of interests, they will keep silent and not help each other. This is the easiest way for them to gain profits. A fisherman's profit will not help Su Chen intercede.

Now I can only take one step at a time. If Nan Tang really sends himself out as a bargaining chip, then his relationship with Nan Tang will come to an end.

Bai Susu took Xiaotong and approached Su Chen's room with tea, seeing Su Chen's expression was a little gloomy, and asked concerned: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you, you're depressed, are you worried about Wu Yue's army outside the city?"

Su Chen turned around, seeing Bai Susu's unparalleled pretty face and slender and perfect figure, he felt a little warmer in his heart, and said softly, "It's not that I'm worried about Wuyue soldiers attacking the city, but, from Jinling City, Bad news came."

Hearing this, Bai Susu saw the note and the small bamboo tube on the table, and understood that this was a message, that's why Su Chen looked so lonely.

"Brother Chen, can I see?"

"Well, we are husband and wife. I won't hide my affairs from you. If you see each other, you can just watch. You can also analyze the situation with me." Su Chen didn't hide anything from Bai Susu, because he was married, this kind of He didn't want to keep it a secret.

After all, Su Chen's background in Runzhou is not as deep as that of the Bai family, and Bai Susu is very smart. After she reads it, maybe she can analyze with Su Chen how to deal with this situation.

When Bai Susu walked to the table, picked up the note, and after reading it, she showed a look of surprise.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty came to Jinling City and wanted to negotiate a peace and retreat, but the condition was to cede the land and pay compensation, and at the same time take Su Chen away as a condition, which was really unexpected.

Bai Susu's face also showed nervousness and worry, she asked the servant girl Xiaotong to go out first and guard the door, so as not to let outsiders come to disturb and eavesdrop.

Xiaotong obediently pushed it out and stood guard outside the door.

Then Bai Susu said softly: "Brother Chen, the Song court appointed you as one of the conditions for the peace negotiation to blackmail Tang. This matter may be very dangerous. Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, sometimes even the princess They are all willing to send them out for marriage, let alone a courtier with a foreign surname, there must be many ministers in the court who are full of righteousness and support this decision in order to keep Tang, Brother Chen must be mentally prepared and don't take chances."

Su Chen listened to Bai Susu's remarks, and nodded slightly. As expected of a strange woman in business, she saw the situation very accurately. Now he no longer takes chances, and just wants to show how to make fun of fate. In this era, he can control himself fate!
