Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 708 An acquaintance arrives
A month later, the Shence Army's ranks had approached 2, and there were troops stationed inside and outside Zatong City.

Jing Hong had already been promoted to partial general because of his meritorious service in recruiting and training; Tai Shizhao and Hu Chengxian were promoted from school lieutenant to Marquis of Duyu because of their meritorious service in suppressing bandits in the mountains outside the county.

At present, Su Chen has initially built a shipbuilding workshop, a military workshop, a textile workshop, an official ceramic kiln, an official brewing workshop, and a hundred workshops, etc., all of which are in the process of stepping up production.

Thousands of weapons were released, including Qi's knives, spears, etc., which were distributed to the infantry of the Shence Army.

Helmets, armor, robes, etc. are complete. After the equipment, the Shence Army has a new look and is very energetic.

On this day, Su Chen returned from the military camp to the outside of Citong City, and received the reward from the Qing Yingwei, who had already taken Han Xizai and Xu Xuan over secretly.

"Oh, Master Han and Master Xu are here." Su Chen's eyes lit up, he smiled, and immediately urged his horse back to the mansion to meet him.

It has been two months since they separated, Su Chen still respects these two elders, who are both teachers and friends.

As soon as Su Chen entered the mansion, he saw two people standing in the hall, they were Han Xizai and Xu Xuan.

The two of them didn't seem to know who invited them here. Although it was mentioned in the letter, it was written in a cryptic manner. Therefore, neither Han Xizai nor Xu Xuan was sure whether Su Chen was still alive, and if he wanted to meet them here, it was planned. Deliberately induced.

"Master Han, Mr. Xu, don't come here unharmed!"

Su Chen smiled, walked quickly into the hall, and met the two of them directly.

When Han Xizai and Xu Xuan heard Su Chen's voice, they were very familiar with it. When they looked over and saw the rough general with a beard, they showed a bit of doubt and surprise.

However, after looking carefully, it is not difficult to find that this rough general's face and facial features are very similar to Su Chen's.

"You are? Su Chen, Su Yixuan?" Han Xizai was dumbfounded.

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's the junior."

Han Xizai stepped forward excitedly, grabbed Su Chen's arm, and looked at it carefully, it was indeed very similar, except for the more beard, other eyes, nose, face shape, etc. were very similar.

"Really you?"

"It's me, Su Chen!" Su Chen nodded and replied.

"Didn't you die in an accident in Yangzhou City?" Xu Xuan asked in horror.

Su Chen sighed: "It's a long story. That night, a group of black people did come in to kill people. If it is against me, it should be the killers sent by the Wuyue Kingdom. After all, I defeated Wuyue's army outside the city of Runzhou." Once, they lost 5 to [-] horses, so they acted with a grudge. And we got the help of another group of people, that is, people from the Southern Wu Fuguo Organization rescued us. At that time, I didn’t want to go to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. The future of the past was uncertain. , why not take advantage of the chaos and follow the people from the Southern Wu Restoration Organization to Zhangquan, intending to help this rebel army restore the country."

"It's so complicated!" Han Xizai also sighed with emotion. He didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in the middle.

His feelings for Su Chen, half master and half father, he cared more about than his son. When he heard the news of Su Chen's accident that day, he was sad at home for many days.

"What's going on with the Southern Wu's Restoration Organization?" Xu Xuan asked suspiciously.

Su Chen explained: "Yang Xingmi established Southern Wu in the past and separated Huainan and Jiangnan. He is the strongest. He has Heiyundu, which spans the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River under his command. Later, Xu Wenquan took over the government and controlled the government. Surrendered and went to overseas islands. Later, Xu Wenyi's son Li Min usurped power and established the Southern Tang Dynasty, with Jinling as the capital. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty has collapsed, the descendants of Heiyundu landed from Zhangquan again, and elected Yang Ling'er as the lord to restore Wu. , this Yang Linger is my righteous sister, she has the ambition to restore the country, so I naturally want to help, so I will stay here temporarily as a general and a political officer, and after the restoration of the country, I will be the prime minister."

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were dumbfounded, and this matter became more complicated.

They didn't expect that the dark clouds would come back and establish a country.

It never occurred to him that the Yang Wu regime and his descendant Yang Ling'er would be embraced as the new King Wu.

And Yang Ling'er was still Su Chen's righteous sister, so he came over to serve as a general and a political officer, responsible for military power and government affairs, and he had great power in his hands.

"This is really unimaginable!"

Han Xizai sighed softly, he didn't expect the matter to be so complicated, more twists and turns than storytelling scripts.

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up. If Su Chen took part of the power, then after they came over, they would be able to be reused quickly, and maybe they could show their ambitions.

"Yixuan called us here, why? It's not just for the reunion, right?" Xu Xuan asked directly.

Han Xizai also looked at Su Yixuan, thinking that the matter might not be simple, Su Chen may be looking for them for something else.

Su Chen said: "That's right. I'm here to assist my sister-in-law to restore the country and Southern Wu, but my strength is weak and my energy is limited. At present, I mainly build the Shence Army, responsible for a lot of business and income generation. However, many local government affairs and the operation of the country , the court team, etc., are too complicated and tiring, and they need to be handled by highly respected ministers, so I thought of the talents of Mr. Han and Mr. Xu, and they are more than enough to serve as colleagues and political advisers here, so I sent someone to take the two adults over. , whether you are willing to rejoin Nan Wu, and make a big event together."

Both Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were shocked, unexpectedly, Su Chen asked them to come here because of this incident and asked them to join the Restoration Organization.

The two hesitated for a moment, then relieved.

Because the Southern Tang Dynasty had fallen, the Li clan in the imperial court had accidents, and there was no hope.

And Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were former courtiers of Southern Wu.

When the Han family committed crimes in the northern Later Tang Dynasty, Han Xizai disguised himself as a merchant, crossed the Huai River via Zhengyang, fled into the territory of Wu State, and entered the capital Guangling.In order to gain the acceptance of the state of Wu, he first submitted a "Certificate of Deeds and Deeds" to Emperor Wu Rui Yang Pu, which is similar to a certificate of voting, that is, introducing his native place, background, reasons for voting for Wu, and life wishes, etc., so that the other party has a good opinion of him. A preliminary understanding.

However, although Han Xizai's "Writing and Zhiling" is brilliant and magnificent, it also reveals talents that are arrogant to the world, expresses lofty ambitions, is extremely arrogant, easily attracts criticism, and is regarded as arrogant and unruly.

But at that time, it was Xu Zhigao who held the real power in the state of Wu. After reading the article, he felt that the young Han Xizai was a bit crazy and didn’t value him. However, Han Xizai was not reused. He was the school secretary at the beginning, and successively served in Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Changzhou.

In the first year of Shengyuan in the Southern Tang Dynasty (937), Li Min completed the Zen Dynasty and officially established the country and proclaimed himself emperor. Only then did Han Xizai be recalled from other states to Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he was given the post of Secretary Lang and Prince Donggong Wenhan.Secretary Lang's job is to be in charge of the class writing of national atlases, but Han Xizai was sent to the Prince's East Palace, which shows that Li Min still has doubts about him.

Han Xizai stayed in the East Palace for seven years, and the long-term relationship with the crown prince gave Li Jing a better understanding of Han Xizai's talents and learning. For Han Xizai, this was a blessing among misfortunes.

In the first year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Min died, and Prince Li Jing came to the throne.Because Han Xizai was an old bureaucrat in the East Palace, when Li Jing came to the throne, he was appointed as a member of the Ministry of Yu, Wai Lang, editor of the History Museum, and bestowed upon Fei.Although Yuan Wai Lang is still an official of the sixth rank, he is still an official of Shangshu Shenglang.

But later, although Han Xizai continued to improve and became Zhizhigao, he was grateful for Li Jing's kindness. Regarding major events in the court, he either refuted the impoliteness, or pointed out the shortcomings. Jealousy and dissatisfaction, especially the dissatisfaction of Song Qiqiu, Feng Yansi and others, thus started the party struggle, making Han Xizai's future official career full of ups and downs and hardships.

This is the ups and downs of Han Xizai's life. Now that he is in his sixtieth year, the Tang Kingdom has collapsed. He is already at a loss. He is about to be taken to the Song Dynasty by the Song Army. Unexpectedly, he was picked up in advance, brought here, and returned to the Wu Kingdom on the land of descendants.

I went around and around all my life, and finally returned to the original point, but the age is no longer young.

The same is generally true for Xu Xuan. He is from Guangling in the north of the Yangtze River. He was an official in Yangwu at first, as a school secretary, and later an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

For the two of them, if they joined the Southern Wu Restoration Army now, they would not be considered betraying the Southern Tang, but returning to the orthodoxy of Yang and Wu.

Han Xizai's heart was churning, but he didn't express his opinion immediately, but sighed: "I'm already 64 years old, my body is old, what else can I use?"

Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "Boss Han, after the restoration of Southern Wu, you will continue to restore the title of the Wu Kingdom. It is completely fine for you to be the Minister of Tongping and the Prime Minister of the dynasty. The same is true for Master Xu. The minister randomly chooses to serve concurrently, restores the government, and establishes a new team of Wu Guo, this time, Wu Guo will be maintained by us, helping the new lord to complete the great cause!"

After hearing this, Xu Xuan became a little excited, and asked again: "How can things be accomplished with only a dozen counties in the two prefectures of Zhangquan and Quanzhou?"

"No! At present, the old department of Heiyun Capital has led an army of nearly [-] to attack Wuyue Kingdom. I believe that Wuyue will be captured in a few months. At that time, we will go to Wuyue's Hangzhou City to establish Wu Kingdom and restore the dynasty. , when the time comes to absorb the officials and soldiers of Tang and Wuyue, gather together, drive the Song army out of the area south of the Yangtze River, then compete with the Song Dynasty, and finally send troops to the north, unify the Central Plains, and establish the Great Wu Dynasty!"

Su Chen talked eloquently, and told the two adults the strategy he had conceived.

"Ah?" After hearing this, Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were both shocked and excited, and their hearts were churning. If it is really arranged like that, there is really a lot to do.

They are all people with great ambitions, but the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is declining, Li Yu is a fatuous king, and the imperial court is fiercely contested. Not only can they not rise, they can't even resist the Song army, and they fell so quickly.

Now, Su Chen sketched out a more magnificent strategic plan for them, so that the two of them are full of enthusiasm, as if the blood in their bodies has been rekindled, and they are both eager to make contributions and leave a name in history. This is a good opportunity. Han and Xu, Of course I don't want to miss it.

"Okay, if the new lord doesn't dislike him, I'm willing to join Southern Wu again, help Wu regain power, and complete his great cause!" Han Xizai was the first to express his opinion. He trusted Su Chen and felt that he would not deceive himself.

Xu Xuan nodded and said, "I am also willing to participate."

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Great, from now on, the two seniors and I will join hands again to build a court that we highly recognize!"
