Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 64 It's All Guessing

Han Xizai was overjoyed in his heart, and his emotions were excited. He looked at Su Chen with some appreciation and praise, as if he was a confidant at the end of the year.

However, as a result, his blood pressure rose again, and he felt that his heart rhythm was a little faster. He pointed to the medicine bottle and said, "Give me one, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable now."

"Oh, that's good!" Su Chen poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle. Since it was about the size of a thumb, it would be easy to get stuck if swallowed in one bite, so he broke it into three small pieces and handed it to Han Xizai to take it with water. Down.

After a while, Han Xizai felt that his heartbeat had calmed down, there was no strong pain in the mouth of his heart, and even his breathing became much smoother.

"Sure enough!" Han Xizai praised him generously. In the future, with this pill in hand, even when he is out of the house, even if he is tired of traveling, drinking and socializing, or when he has an accident, he can take it in time to relieve his condition and pain.

As long as it works, Su Chen smiled slightly, looking gentle.

Han Xizai paid more and more attention to the young man in front of him, and continued to ask: "Then, do you think that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, will first deal with the Liao Kingdom in the north after stabilization, charging the sixteen states of Yanyun and using the "Xianbei" Or will they attack the southern princes and implement the strategy of "first south and then north"?"

After Su Chen heard the words, after thinking for a while, he already had the answer in his heart.

Because according to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin adopted the strategy of "first the south and then the north", devoted all the power of the whole country, and spent more than ten years basically unifying the south, which is a historical track that has long been proven.

As early as before the Northern Song Dynasty, the courtiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Li Gu and the privy envoy Wang Pu, etc., put forward the unified policy of "first the south and then the north".Li Gu believes that to unify the world, we should first start from the "Jianghuai", "take the Jianghuai as if you are looking for an ear in a bag".Chai Rong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also advanced in this way.

It was only after Chai Rong took the Jianghuai land that he suddenly planned to change his strategic policy and attack the Liao Kingdom because there was a faint-hearted king in the Liao Kingdom. He sent troops to the northern expedition, but unfortunately he died of illness on the way to capture Youzhou before the execution was completed.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he also faced this strategic choice, whether to unify Jiangnan first, or defeat the Liao Kingdom first and capture Yanyun first.However, in the end, Song Taizu believed that "the enemy of today will stop at the Khitan", rather than attacking the strong enemy first, it is better to "take Xichuan first, and then go to Jing, Guang, and Jiangnan, and then the country will be rich", and then turn around to deal with the Khitan. It is the strategic policy of the first South and then the North in the early Song Dynasty.

However, after the Northern Song Dynasty unified the south, more than ten years have passed, and the opportunity to seize the politically corrupt Liao Muzong regime has been lost, giving Liao's successors a respite. Later, the new emperor Liao Jingzong and the Empress Dowager Xiao ruled wisely, and Yelu Xiu emerged. , Yelusha, a large number of capable officials and generals, when Zhao Guangyi went to crusade again, they were no longer able to resist, and they returned after a disastrous defeat.

Since then, the northern border has become a factor that seriously troubled the development of the Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty paid a heavy price for this.

"It should be, first south and then north!" Su Chen pretended to guess.

"Oh, how do you see it?" Han Xizai asked with great interest.

Su Chen smiled and said, "I just guessed..."

"You!" Han Xizai suddenly felt a little bad. He could see that Su Chen should be knowledgeable, but he was always secretive and not happy.

When he was young, Han Xizai had an open-minded nature and a higher ambition than the sky, for fear that others would not know that he was talented, wise, and able to go out of his way. With the heart of cherishing talents, I want to dig a little, but the latter does not seem to intend to make a name for himself, nor does he have the heart of fame!

"Su Chen, if you can tell me the answer that pleases the old man, the old man will give you a thousand taels of silver as a consultation fee, how about that?" Han Xizai saw him twice before. Shan felt that his family should be poorer, so he used money to tempt him.

But after Su Chen cooperated with Bai Susu, now he is not so eager for Qian Guan anymore, he shook his head and smiled lightly: "Mr. Han looks down on me, even if she has money, but she is born late and has limited learning, so it is difficult to answer!"

"How about sending you two more beautiful girls? They are all virgins. They are good at singing and dancing, and they are proficient in everything..." Han Xizai continued to tempt.

This old and unscrupulous person actually resorted to such a method to lure minors, making Su Chen almost heartbroken.

However, thinking of the situation in his family, he is just past the food and clothing line, and he can't afford to support two prostitutes from Meiji's house. If Peng Qingqing and Bai Susu find out, he may not know how to look at his character. He can no longer spoil his image!

Although the image in the past has almost reached the bottom line, it is good to have some points.

"I was born in a poor family, I really can't afford to support a singer, I really can't afford such gifts, and I can't even win people's favor!" Su Chen refused righteously.

"I don't want this, I don't accept that, you young man, how cool!" After Han Xizai complained, he suddenly rolled his eyes and stared at him: "Then the old man can only send these two poems to Jinling. In the palace, please, Your Majesty, I have personally summoned you for questioning."

"Old Han, this matter is not acceptable! The courtroom is dangerous, and this junior has no intention of making a career for the time being!" Su Chen didn't want to get involved in the courtroom for the time being, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Then you can answer the question just now. I won't talk about it to outsiders. It's just hard to feel the itch in my heart. After you analyze it, I can compare it with my own guess!" Han Xizai smiled, although Getting old, but instead gave birth to a bit of childlike innocence, and the means are endless, and it is not common sense to play cards.

It is said that people are childish at heart, and the older they are, the more unpredictable their nature is. It is not unreasonable.

This Han Xizai seems to be more shrewd and hotter than the old man of the Bai family, and also a little more bizarre!

In fact, Su Chen didn't have a hard time answering this question, because it was already recorded in the history books. It was no surprise that in the first half of this year, the Song army would attack the state of Chu in the Xianghu area, and in the second half of the year, the Song army would attack Houshu.

"Old Han, Song Master Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to Nanping in the fall of last year, and took Jiangling and Xiazhou. The small country of Jingnan is too weak, with only two big cities. In less than a month, the whole territory fell, and even the Song army did not. How much resistance was encountered, this has already explained the strategy of Song State, which is the strategy of "first south, then north, first easy and then difficult". If the younger generation expects it well, Song State will use troops against Chu State as soon as the spring begins, and capture it. Changsha House, split the state of Shu in the west and the state of Tang in the east. In this way, if the state of Chu is destroyed quickly, then the target of the Song army at the end of the year will be the state of Shu.”

When Han Xizai heard Su Chen's analysis, he felt that it was a bit far-fetched. Even he could boldly infer that Song Guo's entry into Jingnan last year was a strategic exploration of the south and the north. However, he did not predict that Song's next move would be Will attack Chu State, or Shu State.

"If Chu and Shu are destroyed, will it be Tang's turn?" Han Xizai asked with a frown.

"When the lips die, the teeth are cold, and the Shu Kingdom is destroyed. The Song army should attack the Southern Han Dynasty, and then form a siege to the Tang Kingdom, gradually encroaching on it, and finally shrinking the territory. If only Jinling and Runzhou are left, they will not be able to keep it." Su Chen said lightly.

After Han Xizai heard the words, he was secretly shocked. He, who had always been unable to grasp the strategy of the Song army, had a feeling of clearing away the clouds and a sense of enlightenment at this moment.
