Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 645 Leaving Runzhou City

In the early morning of the next day, the sun shines on the earth, and the whole Jiangnan water town emits an aura of the morning.

Su Chen, Peng Jingjing, Bai Susu and the others have already made preparations and are about to pedal out.

This time, Jing Hong selected thirty guards to escort him.

Outside the Su residence, there are three hundred imperial guards and eunuchs leading a team to escort Su Chen back to the capital.

Su Yan, Ma Chengxin and other generals were all brought up by Su Chen to Duyuhou and Dutou. They all came to the courtyard of the Su Mansion, stood in a row, and came to bid farewell to General Su.

They had already heard the news, and they were also angry at the court's move, but the king's order is inevitable, and they have no ability to change all of this, they just feel aggrieved, and even feel that the court's decision to tear down the bridge for Su Chen has chilled the hearts of the soldiers.

The mood is a little low, and even doubts whether it is worthwhile to work for such an imperial court. It is very likely that one moment he was still fighting for the country, throwing his head and blood, and the next moment he became a bargaining chip to be traded and sold directly.

So what is the significance of them serving the court?Is this country worth protecting?
"General Su!" Some generals cupped their fists and looked at Su Chen with deep reluctance.

In the past few months, Su Chen's ability to manage and lead the army has been recognized by all the soldiers. He is rigorous in running the army, but he also shares the joys and sorrows. He also knows how to distinguish rewards and punishments. He has enough respect for the wounded and fallen soldiers, so that All the soldiers love him very much and are willing to serve under him.

At this time, these generals were a little bit reluctant, Su Chen looked at these Du Yuhou and Du Tou, there are always about twenty people.

Su Chen sighed: "Generals, take care of yourself. Lord Mo Xiao is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times? The future is unpredictable. Let's say goodbye today. I hope all the generals can take care of themselves and take good care of themselves."

After hearing this, the soldiers all burst into tears, clasped their fists and knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the general."

Seeing this scene, Su Chen also felt his blood boil, as if his love for robes and running the army in the past few months had been recognized and resonated with, he nodded slightly, it seems that the hard work and struggle these days, in exchange for a piece of Chicheng, is still worth it !

Su Chen said: "Generals, please stand up, but I, Su Chen, will be ruined! The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. I hope we will see each other again in the future."

Kui Yan, Ma Chengli and the others stood up, depressed.

Seven or eight carriages left Su's mansion, and the eunuch Xuanzhi was waiting outside. Seeing that Su Chen and the carriage had come out, he went up to greet him with a smile and said, "Marquis An, we can go on our way."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The eunuch nodded, this matter did not go wrong and went very smoothly, which made him overjoyed, and he could return to his life smoothly.

Su Chen got into the carriage, and under the escort of the imperial guards and all the soldiers, walked along the main street towards Fengtian Gate, the west city gate.

On both sides of the street, many common people appeared, watching Su Chen leave.

Because the news had spread, everyone knew that General Su was leaving Runzhou and returning to Jinling City, so some people were worried, some people stood on the street to see him off, and some scholars also came to see him off.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, Deng Wang Li Congyi, old general Lu Jiang, governor Wang Yuechao, prefect and other Runzhou officials all came to see him off.

They also knew some inside stories. Once Su Chen left Runzhou, the Wuyue soldiers would stop attacking the city, and Runzhou City would be saved. These officials were still a little happy. After all, the lives of them and their families were saved without the city being destroyed They are also saved.

Although sending Su Chen a little bit wronged him, but in the face of this kind of big country diplomacy, sacrificing one person in exchange for the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people in Runzhou City is still worthwhile.

Although these officials feel that the court's approach is a bit disgraceful, most officials feel that it is very worthwhile to sacrifice the small self and fulfill the big self.

Because officials are not as impulsive as soldiers, or even resolute and ashamed, and officials have been in the officialdom for a long time, and they often cover up their original intentions and blind their own vision. Everything is based on interests and parties. In their eyes, there can be no real fairness and justice, only the gains and losses of power, and the small for the big, this is the diplomatic method.

Therefore, none of them would really defend Su Chen against injustice, but they would all be in awe of Su Chen's sacrifice this time in exchange for their safety.

Of course, there are some officials who ridicule in their hearts, thinking that Ren's talent and prestige are very high, and in the end it is only an imperial decree that can easily change his fate, and it also strengthens the officials to obey the court and gain power.

Su Cheng got off the carriage, and said goodbye to King Deng, General Lu, the governor and others.

Deng Wang Li Congyi smiled and said: "An Guohou, you have been guarding Runzhou for three months this time, and you have resisted several onslaughts by Wu Yue's army. Will always remember you!"

It was rare for King Deng to praise Su Chen, probably because he felt that the royal family was a little ashamed of Su Chen, so he let go of his prejudice at this time, thinking that Su Chen was about to be sent to the north anyway, so it was not good to continue to make things difficult and suspicious, because Su Chen It's not Tang people, but Song people. Before leaving, I should say a few words of praise.

Su Chen didn't have any quarrel with snakes, but just smiled lightly, not being too lazy to deal with the royal family anymore, he said lightly: "Thank you, King Deng!"

At this time, Old General Lu stepped forward. After three months of recovery, the toxins in his body had been emptied, and his physical strength was also recovering. Although he was still unable to fight with a knife, his overall look was much better. He walked forward He stretched out his hand to hold Su Chen's hand, with sadness, regret, reluctance and other emotions in his eyes.

Lu Jiang said sincerely: "General Su, you are now the Marquis of An Guo. I hope you will be safe and happy when you return to Beijing this time. Everything you did in Runzhou will be remembered by the people of Runzhou, and so will the people of Tang. Brilliant, destined to be remembered in Jiangdong."

"General Lu's praise!" Su Chen squeezed General Lu's hand tightly, this big brother, Su Chen still recognized him, and gained a friend who had forgotten his age.

The governor, the prefect and others also stepped forward to briefly talk, and said a few farewell words.

Afterwards, Su Chen said goodbye, boarded the carriage, and left the city.

The Wuyue army outside the city was also waiting. When the carriage from Sucheng arrived, Ding Deyu and some generals from the Wuyue Kingdom were also in the square formation and wanted to meet Su Chen.

One is to confirm whether Su Chen is in the carriage, and the other is that they are very curious about this Jiang Zuo Su Lang who has never met before.

Although Wu Yue General Shen Chengli and others had a grudge against Su Chen in the past, hated it deeply, and felt that this person sabotaged the attack of Wu Yue's army, and even killed 4 or [-] Wu Yue soldiers, all of which were inseparable from Su Chen.

However, now that they have learned that Su Chen is about to be sent to the Bian capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Shen Chengli and the others also put down a lot of this hatred.

After all, Su Chen will be from the Song Dynasty in the future, and their Wuyue Kingdom is also a subsidiary state of the Song Kingdom, and they may also be included in the Song Dynasty in the future, so Su Chen and them cannot be regarded as enemies.

At this time, they were more curious and wanted to see with their own eyes what this young Su Chen looked like.
Why is his talent so high?Several articles and poems have been widely circulated, and martial arts novels have attracted many soldiers to put it down. Many scripts have been performed in the land of Wuyue, changing the entertainment habits of the local people, and they are all extolling Su Chen's talent. The general also felt a kind of respect.

"Jiangzuo Sulang, are you in the car?" Ding Deyu asked first.

Su Chen lifted the curtain of the car and got out of the carriage. He was wearing a blouse, neither armor nor brocade robes. He was just an image of a scholar who was gentle and gentle like jade.

Su Chen got out of the carriage and said, "Next is Su Chen, what is the general's name?"

Ding Deyu took two steps forward and looked at Su Chen carefully. He was indeed as handsome as a jade, and a good-looking talent. He nodded slightly, feeling that his reputation was well-deserved, and said: "This general is Ding Deyu, the supervisor of the army outside the city. We have been fighting for several months. Although we haven't met each other, we should have heard each other's names."

Su Chen nodded and said: "So it's General Ding, Su is being polite."

Ding Deyu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be complicated, you are a talent hand-picked by our Song Dynasty officials, and the imperial edict has also been passed on to the army, and you must not be hurt in the slightest. Therefore, when we come here today, we only want to see you. It's been a long time, and we have cherished each other, and we used to be masters of each other, but now we are all Song people, let's get to know each other in advance."

Su Chen felt that Ding Deyu was an upright person, he didn't hide his words, he had the character of a standard military general, so he nodded slightly and said: "What virtue can Su Chen do? Let all the generals be here, waiting to meet each other with such grandeur. "

Shen Chengli said: "Su Chen, although you were our enemy in the past, I have to say that you are a respectable opponent. Although we don't like you, this does not prevent us from admiring you. Come here today, It's not to humiliate you. It's to pay tribute to the opponent. I want to take a look. What does Jiangzuo Sulang, who has repeatedly frustrated our army, look like?
Su Chen smiled and said: "It's the past. Everyone is their own master. It's hard to tell right from wrong. I only hope that one day, the army from outside the city invades Runzhou City and treats the people well. They are all innocent. It’s still the people of Song and Tang, they have been living at the bottom, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer! Those of us, our ancestors are also the status of the common people; if we have a compassionate heart, there will be good rewards.”

After Su Cheng finished speaking, he didn't say much. After saying goodbye to these people, he got into the carriage again.

The convoy left the city of Runzhou and headed for Jinling City.

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Susu and Peng Jingjing couldn't bear it. They lifted the curtains and looked back at Runzhou City, which kept going away. They had lived here for more than ten years, and they rarely left since they were young.

Now that they have to leave their hometown and be separated for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some loss and sentimentality in their hearts, but the two girls have no regrets in their hearts, because they are with the one they love.

As long as you follow your husband, wherever you go, it is your own home, and you will have no regrets if you stay with him safely for a lifetime!
