Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 718
After the New Year's Eve, spring begins, the breeze blows, the earth recovers, withered grass sprouts, and many wild flowers bloom, filling the fields, refreshing.

After discussing with Yang Ling'er, Han Xizai and others, Su Chen decided to personally lead an army of [-] to march north.

Because Wuyue's main army has returned to Hangzhou, and Lu Chaoqun and Wei Dongqiang's two armies are fighting on their own, their morale is proud, and it is easy to fail in the final crucial battle. Therefore, Su Chen plans to go north earlier, if the front line After losing the battle, he could support from behind to fight against Wu Yue's army.

Han Xizai and the others agreed, after all, they also recognized Su Chen's ability to lead troops. At that time, Su Chen also made great contributions in the battle of Runzhou City.

Now is the time to show your personal abilities and establish the prestige of the armed forces.

Su Chen left [-] Shence troops in Quanzhou, led by Jing Hong, responsible for guarding Zatong City, protecting Yang Ling'er and the other ministers.

This is Su Chen's trusted general, so don't worry about others. After all, this is the base camp, with his own family members, and many official kilns, city ship divisions, etc., and must be handed over to his confidant generals to take control of the military in order to ensure safety.

Then, Su Chen led Peng Jingjing, Tai Shizhao, Hu Chengxian, and Lin Juyi to set off from the Shence Army camp outside Zaitong City. With 2 horses, they arrived in Fuzhou City and joined forces with Lin Renzhao here.

After everyone took their seats in Fuzhou General's Mansion, Lin Renzhao said to Su Chen: "General, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Su Chen respected Lin Renzhao very much, and said, "General Lin has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Lin Renzhao said: "At present, wars are raging everywhere in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Many old generals of the Tang Kingdom are unwilling to give up their hands. However, the royal family of the Tang Kingdom has already died and can no longer issue orders. We might as well take this opportunity to contact the generals of the Tang Army from various states and counties and gather together. If you absorb them all, you can pull up the army in an instant and drag the Song army into the quagmire. Once the Song army is driven out of the territory of Tang, these places will be able to submit to Wu smoothly."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded. He thought this method was very good, and he had thought about it, but unfortunately he was not familiar with most of the generals in the garrison. Han Xizai and the others were also civilian officials, and they knew very little about these envoys and generals from various places. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the dragons had no leader, and many generals had the idea of ​​becoming kings on their own, and became small local separatist forces.

"Can General Lin recruit and persuade the old generals from the various states and counties of the Tang Kingdom to surrender?" Su Chen asked, if it can be done, it is naturally good.

Lin Renzhao replied respectfully: "You can try. After all, I have been a general in the army for many years. I have a certain prestige. I can bring [-] elite soldiers to Jianzhou first. The governor of Jianzhou is my old friend. Chen He. I will lead my troops there and station in Jianzhou to observe the situation. Currently, a Song army led by Li Jixun and Liu Guangyi is attacking the Yongan Army and Jianzhou City in the north of Jianzhou. It just so happened that the general could go there to help and defeat them first. This Song army."

Su Chen thought for a while, and felt that this method was feasible. If Lin Renzhao led the troops to open the situation, the soldiers and horses scattered all over the Southern Tang Dynasty could be connected together. They are all regular troops. The endgame of the Southern Tang Dynasty instantly became the support point of the Wu State, and the territory was expanded. After the merger of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue, the strength of the Wu State will be greatly expanded.

At that time, drive away the Song army and cross the river, then take down Jingnan and Changsha, conquer the Southern Han Dynasty, and the whole south will belong to Wu State, forming a tripartite situation of Song, Shu, and Wu, just like Wei, Shu, and Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. Three points in the world.

But the current state of Shu is very weak and cannot compete with Song and Wu. It is hard to say whether it will be unified by Song or Wu in the future, and it is possible.

When Su Chen thought of this, he immediately gained the confidence to fight against the Song Dynasty, and said to General Lin Renzhao: "Then please ask General Lin to go there in person and lead [-] elite Shence troops to march into the territory of the old Tang Dynasty and incorporate the troops from various states and counties. Temporary appointments can be made. Afterwards, I will ask Lord Yang and Lord Han Xizai to issue an imperial edict to appoint them, and all of them will be re-canonized as generals and transformed into generals and governors of the state of Wu."

"Decree!" Seeing that Su Chen agreed to his proposal, Lin Renzhao felt happy in his heart, because it showed that this Su Chen, although talented, was not proud at all. He was able to listen to other people's suggestions seriously, and he trusted him very much. It is very rare.

If you follow such a lord in the future, you will definitely become a wise lord!
Two days later, Lin Renzhao and Su Chen divided their troops outside the city of Fuzhou. Lin Renzhao led [-] elite troops, led by generals Lin Yuan, Lin Xing, Zhou Cang, Gan Ping and others, and headed northwest to Jianzhou of Tang State, leaving Liu Ren behind. Liu Chong, the son of Zhan, is stationed in Fuzhou. He is also a man of loyalty to the emperor and can be entrusted with the important task of guarding Fuzhou City.

Su Chen led the Shence Army with [-] soldiers and led his own generals to go northward from Fuzhou, enter the territory of Wuyue, and march forward quickly, heading towards the capital of Wuyue.

There was no fighting along the way. When passing through some counties and counties captured by the rebels, the people were rescued, the list was given to calm the people, and the three armies were restrained, and the rebels were not allowed to disturb the people wantonly.

Lieutenant generals Lu Chaoqun and Wei Dongqiang were stationed in various states and counties and Wenzhou City. They brought thousands of defenders here to do their best. When they heard General "Chen Su" coming from behind, they didn't take him seriously. Inside.

However, when these rebellious and reckless generals saw Su Chen's [-] magic trick army, the soldiers were strong and strong, the soldiers were full of energy, and their weapons and equipment were excellent, they didn't dare to say anything, and they all became obedient.

In this troubled world, relying solely on benevolence, righteousness and morality will not work, it must be guaranteed by sufficient force.

Just as the Buddhists said: "The vajra's glaring eyes subdue the four demons, and the Bodhisattva's low eyebrows make him merciful to the six realms." Both the vajra's glaring eyes and the Bodhisattva's low eyebrows need to cooperate with each other. A kind person must have vajra's glaring eyes, to deter some young people and make some malicious people dare not do bad things.

This time, Su Chen brought Jiang Tao, Liu Dong, Xia Baosong and others, and placed them in Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Chuzhou as local officials, responsible for governing the government affairs of the prefectures and counties, such as relieving refugees, appeasing the people, restoring social order, and ensuring the normal life of the people. Living, checking household registration, accepting some prison laws, etc., we cannot let criminals be released without punishment to harm others.

Su Chen also allocated 1000 troops to each of the three as a force to manage law and order. At the same time, he ordered them to continue to recruit recruits to join the army in the state capital, to develop and expand, to expand the army formally, and to place his own people everywhere. The generals who are used to pirates, Du Yuhou and others, acted mischievously in the local area, so as not to force the Wuyue people and officials to force the people to rebel.

After staying for a few days, Su Chen continued to go north on behalf of his troops. On the way, he suddenly got the news that when the two generals Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying were attacking the city outside Wuzhou City, they were attacked from behind by the main force of the Wuyue army. Wuyue's reinforcements finally attacked. After defeating the troops of Wei Dongqiang and Qi Ying, the troops led by them lost their helmets and horses, suffered heavy losses, and were retreating towards Chuzhou.

"As I expected, after the main force of the Wuyue army rushed back, they found the right opportunity to attack and severely damaged the frontline rebel army. It's time for us to take action."

Su Chen's eyes were determined, and he decided to lead his troops to meet them, to fight against Wu Yue's army, and to show off his sharpness.
