In recent days, the Wu Yue soldiers have deviated from normalcy and have not launched an attack. They are just besieging the city. They seem to be resting and are not worried that the Tang army will go out of the city to attack, because the troops in the city are shrinking, and defending according to the city will be beneficial to the Tang army. They will go out of the city to fight.

The Tang army was not good, so the Wu and Yue soldiers were not worried that the Tang army would suddenly leave the city to attack and provoke.

The Tang army in the city also felt strange, because it did not conduct a large-scale siege in the past few days. It was abnormal, and many generals were confused, but did not relax their vigilance, because the Wu Yue army used tricks several times to sneak attack the city.

When you calm down, you often brew a bigger storm.

Therefore, many Tang army generals were uneasy. After all, things were abnormal and there must be monsters. They had suffered great losses before, so they did not dare to take it lightly.

Su Chen left the General's Mansion to King Deng Li Congyi. He usually works in his Su Mansion. If he holds a discussion meeting, he will go to the General's Mansion.

Recently, he also found it strange that the Wu Yue soldiers stopped attacking the city and did not attack. Could it be that they would be able to siege the city and attack the aid?

Until this day, Su Chen received a letter from Fei Ge in his study, which was a secret message from Jinling, which was related to the secret spy department he had.

He saw the news on the paper, which recorded that the Song envoys led by Cheng Dexuan to enter Jinling, intending to negotiate peace with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and put forward three conditions: cede land, pay compensation, and ask for Su Chen by name.

Let Tang hand over Su Chen and follow the envoys north to Bianjing City... He felt a bad premonition in his heart when he saw this.

Because compared with the survival of the country and the safety of the royal family, Su Chen is just an unnecessary person.

If the Northern Song Dynasty really used this as a condition to threaten peace and retreat, then Su Chen felt that he would be abandoned by the Li Tang royal family and sent away as a bargaining chip.

This premonition became stronger and stronger. Su Chen put down the note, his face darkened, thinking about his own way out.

Since traveling to Runzhou more than a year ago, Su Chen has gradually gained a foothold in Runzhou. He met Han Xizai, Bai Su, Peng Jingjing and others. His situation changed very quickly, and he also gained a lot of recognition, and his wealth accumulated rapidly.

.

At that time, he didn't want to go to the Northern Song Dynasty anymore. Because he stayed in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Runzhou was his second hometown and had people he cared about, so he didn't want to go to the Northern Song Dynasty again.

When the Song army attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, Su Chen, as a Southern Tang Dynasty, stood up to resist the invasion, and it was natural that all this was caused by the situation. He pushed him forward and could not turn back.

Today, a choice appeared, pushing him to the crossroads. Should he continue to stay in Southern Tang and strive to the end; or to send him to the north and surrender to Zhao Kuangyin.

With his current talent, even if he goes to the Northern Song Dynasty, he will be appreciated by Zhao Kuangyin, and his future will not be much worse than in the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, Su Chen was also worried that he would also need to take sides after living in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because in the next ten years, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, the eldest prince Zhao Dezhao, and Zhao Guangyi seized power.

If Su Chen was valued by Zhao Kuangyin after he passed by and his interests were tied together, he would easily offend Zhao Guangyi.

According to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin would suddenly die, and Zhao Guangyi replaced Zhao Kuangyin as the throne. At this time, once Su Chen went to the Northern Song Dynasty, his fame was so great that he would definitely be attracted by all parties. No matter where he stood, he would add value, fame and momentum to the other party.

, but they will also be regarded as a thorn in the eyes by the other party. At that time, he and Peng Jingjing, Bai Susu and others in Bianjing will also fall into a battle in the court, and even struggle to end up becoming victims.

This is what Su Chen is worried about. Unless he stands on Zhao Kuangyin's side openly, secretly talks with Zhao Guangyi and goes around, he will not attack Su Chen after Zhao Guangyi ascends the throne.

However, the secret may not be kept. After all, in the next ten or eight years, he will be a fence-bearer, play infernal Affairs, and survive in the cracks. It is really a nightmare that Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, and Zhao Guangyi do not doubt him.

Moreover, Su Chen has an upright personality and is not the kind of person who is two-faced.

He couldn't do such a thing, so Su Chen resisted going to the Northern Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart and fell into a struggle for power and tricks. He didn't like to feel like he was walking on thin ice.

But now Su Chen can do nothing, he can only wait and wait for the court to announce the decision.

In addition to the fact that Han Xizai and other ministers would also strongly oppose it, it is a fact that the Tang State is in danger. The troops on both sides were suppressed by the Song army and did not have much bargaining chips. Even if Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others blocked it, it could not stop the royal family's selfishness.

There are also the Song Party’s insults. As for the New Party’s Pan You and Li Ping and others, Su Chen felt that from the perspective of interests, they would remain silent and not help each other. This is the easiest way for them to gain profits. They don’t have much trouble, but they take it.

The fisherman's benefit will not help Su Chen plead with mercy.

Now I can only take one step at a time. If Nan Tang really gives him a bargaining chip, then the relationship between him and Nan Tang will end here.

Bai Susu brought Xiaotong and brought tea to Su Chen's room. Seeing Su Chen's expression was a little depressed, she asked with concern: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? You're so depressed. Are you worried about the Wu Yue army outside the city?"

Su Chen turned around and saw Bai Susu's unparalleled pretty face and her slim and perfect figure. He replied a little warmth in his heart. He said softly: "It's not that he is worried about Wu Yue's troops siege the city, but from Jinling City,

Bad news came.”

When Bai Susu heard this, she saw the notes and small bamboo tubes on the table. She understood that this was sent by information, which made Su Chen look lonely.

"Brother Chen, can I watch it?"

"Well, we are husband and wife. I won't hide my affairs from you. If you look at each other, you can just take a look. You can also analyze the situation with me." Su Chen did not hide from Bai Susu because he was already married.

He doesn't want to hide a big deal.

After all, Su Chen’s background in Runzhou is not as deep as the Bai family, and Bai Susu is very smart. After she has seen it, she may be able to analyze with Su Chen how to deal with this situation.

When Bai Susu walked to the table, picked up the note, and after reading it, she looked surprised.

The Song Dynasty envoys came to Jinling City and wanted to negotiate peace and withdraw troops, but the conditions were to cede land and pay compensation and take Su Chen away as the conditions, which was really unexpected.

Bai Susu's face also showed nervousness and worry. She asked the maid Xiaotong to go out first and guard the door, so that no outsiders could come over to disturb or eavesdrop.

Xiaotong obediently pushed her out and guarded outside the door.

Bai Susu then said softly: "Brother Chen, the Song Dynasty court has appointed you as a condition for negotiation. It is probably very dangerous to write about Tang State. Since ancient times, the ruthless imperial family has been willing to send it out to marry him.

What's more, a minister must have many ministers in the court who will support this decision in order to protect Tang State. Brother Chen must be mentally prepared and not be lucky."

After hearing Bai Susu's remarks, Su Chen nodded slightly. He is worthy of being a business woman. He sees this situation very accurately. Now he is no longer lucky. He just wants to show his destiny and tease him. In this era, he can control himself.
