Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 751 The traitor will never die

Lu Chaoqun and his son, Gao Quanfu, led tens of thousands of troops and marched into the land of Jingchu. When they arrived outside Changsha Prefecture, they were surprised to find that the Song army had evacuated the area and temporarily abandoned the area.

Therefore, the fierce fighting originally expected did not happen.

A smile appeared on Lu Zheng's face, and he said: "Father, it seems that the Song Army has not deployed heavy troops here. It has obviously abandoned this area."

Lu Chaoqun nodded slightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes: "The Song Army is currently concentrating its forces in the Jiangling Prefecture and Xiazhou areas, stationing troops on the banks of the Yangtze River, and occupying the chokepoint of Jingzhou. As for Changsha Prefecture, which is deep inland, they Obviously they don't have enough energy to guard it. If they disperse their troops here, they will be vulnerable to our attack. Therefore, they chose to withdraw their troops. In this way, the Xianghe area of ​​Changsha Prefecture belongs to us."

Speaking of this, Lu Chaoqun's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning: "We can recruit troops here, expand our strength, and wait for the opportunity. Once the time is right, we can send our troops north to compete with the Song army!"

After hearing this, Lu Zheng's eyes also shone with excitement. The father and son had a tacit understanding and were ready to support their troops with self-respect. In this troubled world, only by mastering strong strength can we remain invincible. The Xianghe area in Changsha Prefecture will become the starting point for them to achieve this goal.

As a descendant of Heiyundu, Lv Chaoqun has always been carrying the mission of restoring the country. His father has been operating overseas for more than 20 years, laying a solid foundation for him, and he himself has spent 20 years to gradually build up overseas military forces. Originally, he led the troops to support the descendants of the Yang bloodline just to temporarily stabilize the situation in the name of restoring the country. He planned that once he had the military power in his hands, Yang Linger would naturally be controlled by him.

However, things did not develop as he expected. He did not expect that Yang Ling'er's sworn brother Su Chen was so talented. He was not only good at planning, but also had excellent ability to lead troops. The rise of Su Chen has suppressed the power of their Lu family, making Lu Chaoqun feel unprecedented pressure.

If he continues to stay in the Hangzhou Prefecture and Jinling area, Lu Chaoqun has no confidence that he will be able to take over power. Therefore, he decided to temporarily break away, support his own troops, and expand his sphere of influence. He believes that only by strengthening yourself first can you make more favorable choices in future situations.

A proud smile appeared on Lu Zheng's face and he said: "Father, if we become more powerful in the future, can we establish a new country here and name it 'Jing Wu'?"

Lu Chaoqun glared at him and snorted coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are not qualified to discuss these things now. You are so ambitious and will eventually harm you. From today on, in the land of Jingzhou, you You must study hard, train in the army, and be both civil and military. In the future, you will naturally have opportunities to display your talents!"

Although Lu Zheng was scolded by his father, he didn't take it seriously. He believes that being ambitious is not a bad thing, but a sign of great ambition. One day, he will prove to his father that he is no worse than Su Chen!

So, he put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Yes, father! I will do as you ask."

Lu Chaoqun nodded, ordered the army to move, and took the opportunity to quickly occupy Changsha Mansion, as well as several surrounding cities such as Yueyang and Yiyang. Due to the withdrawal of the Song army, the process of occupying these cities was relatively easy.

After occupying the city, Lu Chaoqun quickly appeased the people and improved military discipline to ensure the stability of these newly occupied areas. At the same time, he also sent spies to inquire about the Song army's movements in case they suddenly counterattack.

Gao Quanfu is responsible for preparing grain, grass and military supplies in the rear to ensure continuous supply to the front. He also strengthened communication and cooperation with other generals to discuss the next battle plan.

Although the occupation process was relatively smooth, both Lu Chaoqun and Gao Quanfu knew that the Song army would never give up. They must be fully prepared in case the Song army turns around and fights in the future, and more intense battles may occur.

Su Chen already knew everything about what Lu Chaoqun and his son were doing through the close surveillance of intelligence personnel. When he learned about the actions of Lu Chaoqun and his son in the land of Jingchu, he couldn't help but coldly snorted: "Humph, you are so evil-minded!"

Su Chen knew very well that this pair of military commanders and his son were very ambitious and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, he specially sent Qingying Guards to closely watch Lu Chaoqun's every move to prevent his opponent from suddenly attacking. He firmly believes that one must not have the intention to harm others and the intention to guard against others. When facing such an enemy, a high degree of vigilance must be maintained at all times.

After reading the secret letter, Su Chen took off the lampshade, put the secret letter close to the candle, ignited the secret letter, and watched the secret letter gradually turn into ashes in the flames.

After all, spying on Wu's founding minister was not something that could be made public, so Su Chen was extremely cautious when handling this information. After he personally checked the intelligence content, he completely destroyed it to avoid unnecessary complications.

In the dead of night, people are still, the silver moon hangs high like a plate, pouring down the clear light like water.

Su Chen stepped out of the study and yawned. He wanted to go straight back to his room, but when he looked around, he saw that Xu Cainnu's boudoir was still dimly lit and she had not rested yet.

He walked slowly to Xu Qingwan's house and tapped on the door with his fingertips, making a small and crisp sound.

"Who's knocking on the door?" Inside the house, Xu Qingwan's voice was gentle and slightly doubtful, like a spring breeze blowing over the water.

"It's me!" He responded softly, his voice particularly clear in the quiet night.

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Xu Qingwan felt a hint of Xia Rong at the corner of her mouth, and softly called the maid to open the door for Su Chen.

The maid unbolted the door bolt and opened the door lightly. Su Chen stepped into the room. As far as he could see, he saw that Xu Qingwan had taken off her outer shirt and was only wearing a plain inner shirt. Her figure was beautiful and soft, and her temperament was dignified, like a budding flower. Orchid waiting to be released.

She was sitting at the table. The table was covered with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and manuscripts were scattered among them. It was obvious that she was just sorting out the manuscripts.

Su Chen stepped forward and looked at her softly: "Are you still writing so late at night?" His voice was full of concern and tenderness.

Xu Qingwan raised her head, looked at him with her clear eyes, and raised her mouth slightly: "Well, I am sorting out the collection of essays. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to set up a school or college? You need some teaching materials. I want to make several editions of teaching materials for different school ages. It will be used in the academy when the time comes.”

Her voice is soft and quiet, like the night wind blowing over the strings of a piano, very pleasant to the ear.

When Su Chen heard this, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. He was filled with joy for what Xu Qingwan was doing.

If a new college is established, suitable teaching materials will be needed so that Wu can cultivate the talents he wants for Wu's new political governance.
