Chapter five hundred and fifty second involved
Su Chen was appointed to supervise the army, and he would go on an expedition with the army in three days. The matter was too important to be delayed, so the matter was quickly settled.
When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs came out of Chengxintang, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Yan Xu and others enthusiastically pulled Su Chen and talked while explaining some things.
Chen Qiao, Pan You and others,
He also slowed down his pace, rarely getting close to people from the Sun Party.
As a result, Wei Cen, Chen Jue and others of the Song Party seemed to be isolated. Several people were excluded and glanced at Su Chen coldly.
Leave with a puff of sleeves.
"Humph, be careful if you die,
No life left!" Wei Cen spat in a low voice,
Then he left the palace garden with Chen Jue and others, walked through the corridor, exited the palace gate, and pedaled back home.
Pan You and Chen Qiao said some words of approval to Su Chen, and then expressed the hope that Su Chen could cooperate happily with General Lu Jiang and serve the country together.
"My lords, please rest assured. Yixuan's hometown is in Runzhou. Wu Yue soldiers are coming to invade. I have both public and private responsibilities. I will go back to guard Runzhou and repel the Wu Yue soldiers!"
Su Chen stated that he would go all out to fight against Wu Yue's army.
"That's good. Although Su Zhuangyuan has never been in the military,
However, since you have learned martial arts and are familiar with the art of war, I believe that Duke Zhuangyuan will do some incredible things this time, assist General Lu Jiang and defeat the Wu Yue army. It is not a delusion!"
"That's right. As the most talented person in Jiangzuo, Su Yixuan is capable of both civil and military skills!"
Several ministers praised him one after another, and their favorable impressions of Su Chen were overwhelming!
"It's an award, it's an award, I don't deserve it!" Su Chen was humble, and he felt a little guilty after being praised by such a group of big shots from the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Which person in the officialdom is not a veteran, and how much of what they say is true?
Su Chen still kept calm and did not let himself get carried away and be so proud that he could not find Bei, which would make others look down upon him.
Han Xizai said: "Okay, Mr. Pan, Mr. Chen, you go back and have a good talk with General Lu Jiang, and explain what needs to be explained in advance.
Went to Runzhou,
You can’t make any mistakes, it’s a matter of life and death that is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, so you can’t take it lightly!”
"This is natural, we will do more analysis and arrangements!" Pan You and others said goodbye and left the palace.
Han Xizai looked at Su Chen and a few others and said, "Would you like to come to my house, have a few drinks, and talk about the upcoming situation?"
Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "Master Han, I won't go. The expedition is about to begin. I will go back and make some arrangements. Before I rationalize, I will visit your residence and listen to your teachings."
Han Xizai nodded slightly, thinking that he had many confidantes at home who really needed to be arranged, so he didn't insist on dragging him there.
"Well, you go back to your hometown to settle down with your family and those girls, and get ready for the expedition. I and a few adults will analyze some pros and cons and key points, and list them down. Before leaving, I will tell you in detail!"
"Okay, thank you for your help, adults." Su Chen thanked him.
"It's all for the Tang Dynasty!"
"I'll take my leave!"
Su Chen got on the carriage outside the palace gate and returned to his house.
Just when Chengxintang was discussing how to deploy defenses on the eastern front and reinforce Runzhou, news about Changzhou's defeat had spread. Peng Jingjing heard about it from Peng's father and quickly came to the Su Mansion to report it to Bai Susu, Yang Ling'er and others.
, discuss together.
At this time, the girls saw Su Chen returning to the house and walking into the hall, and they all gathered around him.
"Brother Chen, I heard that Changzhou has fallen. Wu Yue soldiers are burning, killing and looting in Changzhou city. They will attack Runzhou soon. Does the imperial court have any countermeasures?"
Bai Susu was a little worried. After all, there were Bai family roots and clansmen in Runzhou. Once surrounded by Wu Yue soldiers, it would be difficult to escape.
At that time, many men will be drafted into military service to help defend the city.
If the city of Runzhou is destroyed, the rich and powerful gentry in the city will be unlucky and may become the targets of looting. If the city of Runzhou is not destroyed and is besieged for several months, it is likely that the city will be short of supplies and no food will be stored, and the people in the city will
Will starve to death.
Therefore, Bai Susu fell into a feeling of anxiety.
Su Chen replied: "As for the countermeasures, of course I have thought about it. That is to send Lu Jiang, the Marquis of Yu in front of the hall, with 20,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Runzhou to command the three armies!"
"Lu Jiang, I seem to have never heard of him, can he do it?!" Peng Jingjing was a little distrustful.
Yang Ling'er frowned. She seemed to be quite unfamiliar with this Lu Jiang. She hadn't heard from Yan Pei, Wu Chunxiu and others that the imperial court had such a reliable general.
"If he can't do it, then he still has me!" Su Chen smiled slightly and murmured.
"What do you mean?" Peng Jingjing was a little confused.
Bai Susu looked at Su Chen and asked doubtfully, "Do you want to go on an expedition too?"
"That's right, I was promoted to Supervisor of the Army by the officials this time. I will be Lord Lu Jiang's deputy and supervise the three armies. At critical times, I can lead troops to deploy and guard Runzhou!"
After Su Chen said this, Bai Susu, Peng Jingjing, Yang Linger, and Liu Monong were all surprised.
"You want to go on an expedition with the army to Runzhou?" Bai Susu couldn't believe it.
Peng Jingjing clapped her hands with joy: "Great, you have great power as the supervisor. I can also follow you. Give me another Du Yuhou Dangdang, and I will lead the troops to charge into the battle and defeat Wu Yue's army!"
"It's too dangerous." Liu Mo Nong was a little worried.
"That's right, brother Su Chen, it's better not to go." Yang Ling'er disagreed with Su Chen's going.
Because she heard from Yan Pei and others that many traveling lords and dead soldiers were arranged in places such as Changzhou and Runzhou. At critical times, they could cooperate with the Wu and Yue soldiers to attack the city, and cooperate internally and externally to achieve miraculous results!
This time Changzhou fell in less than ten days, and that was the reason!
But if Su Chen went to Runzhou to participate in the garrison against the Wu Yue soldiers, then Yang Ling'er would have to find a way to convince the restoration organization not to cause trouble for Su Chen's brother. Otherwise, the army would be defeated like a mountain and it would be easy to die in the rebellion.
Worry for life.
How could she watch her adopted brother encounter something unexpected? Yang Ling'er's first reaction was to stop Su Chen from going to Runzhou.
However, Su Chen wanted to protect the Southern Tang Dynasty and save the people of Runzhou. He knew it was very dangerous, but he would not back down.
"The imperial edict is about to be sealed and will not be changed. As a supervisor, it is also a foregone conclusion that I will go out with the army. This time, the Wu and Yue soldiers are coming fiercely. They cooperate with the invasion of the Song army and have hatred for the people of the Tang Dynasty. Once the city is breached, the people in Runzhou City will
Everyone is in danger and will be ravaged. As a native of Runzhou, I want to protect this homeland, protect our relatives, friends, and property, and fight to the end against the Wu Yue soldiers!"
