Chapter 708 An acquaintance arrives

A month later, the number of Shence Army was close to 20,000, with troops stationed both inside and outside Citong City.

Jing Hong had been promoted to the rank of partial general because of his meritorious service in recruiting and training troops; Taishi Zhao and Hu Chengxian had been promoted from school captain to Du Yuhou because of their meritorious service in going to the mountains outside the county to suppress bandits.

Su Chen has currently built a shipbuilding workshop, a military workshop, a textile workshop, an official ceramic kiln, an official brewery workshop, a hundred workshops, etc., and they are all stepping up production.

Thousands of weapons were produced, including Qi swords, spears, etc., and were distributed to the infantry of the Shence Army.

The helmets, armors, robes, etc. are all complete. After equipping them, the Shence Army looks brand new and very energetic.

On this day, Su Chen returned from the military camp to the outside of Citong City and was informed by the Qingying Guards that they had secretly picked up Han Xizai and Xu Xuan.

"Oh, Mr. Han, Mr. Xu is here." Su Chen's eyes lit up, he smiled, and immediately rushed back home to meet him.

It had been two months since they were separated, and Su Chen still respected these two elders, both teachers and friends.

As soon as Su Chen walked into the courtyard, he saw two people standing in the hall, it was 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 vague way. Therefore, Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were not sure whether Su Chen was still alive and wanted to meet them here, or was being set up by someone.

Induced on purpose.

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

However, after taking a closer look, it is not difficult to find that this rugged general's face and facial features are very similar to Su Chen.

Su Chen sighed: "It's a long story. That night, a group of black people did come in to kill people. If they wanted to harm me, they should be killers from the Wu Yue State. After all, I defeated the Wu Yue army outside Runzhou City.

This time, they lost 40,000 to 50,000 horses, so we took action with a grudge. We got help from another group of people, people from the Southern Wu Restoration Organization, who rescued us. At that time, I didn’t want to go to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. My future was uncertain.

, it is better to take advantage of the chaos and follow the people from the Nanwu Restoration Organization to the land of Zhangquan, intending to help this rebel army restore the nation."

Su Chen cupped his hands and said: "Boss Han is a talented person. After the restoration of Southern Wu, he will continue to restore the name of the Wu Kingdom. It will be no problem for you to serve as Tongping Zhangshi and prime minister of the dynasty. The same is true for Mr. Xu.

The Minister randomly selects concurrent posts, restores the government, and establishes a new team of Wu State. This time, we are here to protect Wu State and help the new lord complete his great cause!"

This was the twists and turns of Han Xizai's life. Now that he was in his 60s, the Tang Dynasty fell. He was already confused and was about to be taken to the Song Dynasty by the Song Army. Unexpectedly, he was picked up in advance and brought here to return to the Wu Kingdom again.

On the territory of future generations.

But later, although Han Xizai continued to advance and became a Zhizhigao, he was grateful for Li Jing's kindness. He either refuted the rudeness or pointed out the shortcomings of major events in the DPRK, and wrote one after another, which caused great concern among the powerful officials in the DPRK.

Jealousy and dissatisfaction, especially the dissatisfaction of Song Qiqiu, Feng Yansi and others, started the party struggle, making Han Xizai's future career full of ups and downs and hardships.

After hearing this, Xu Xuan became a little excited and asked: "How can we accomplish anything with only a dozen counties in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou?"

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

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were very familiar with Su Chen's voice when they heard it. When they looked over and saw the rugged general with a beard, they showed some confusion and surprise.

"Are you? Su Chen, Su Yixuan?" Han Xizai was stunned.

Su Chen said: "Yes, I am here to assist my sister-in-law to restore the country of Southern Wu. However, I am single and weak, and my energy is limited. Currently, I mainly build the Shence Army and am responsible for many businesses and income generation. However, many local government affairs and national operations

, the court team is too complicated and tiring, and requires highly respected ministers to handle it, so I thought of the talents of Mr. Han and Mr. Xu, who serve as Tongping Zhangshi here, and are more than enough to participate in political affairs, so I sent someone to take over the two adults.

, are you willing to rejoin Nanwu and work together to achieve great things?"

Su Chen explained: "Yang Xingmi established Southern Wu and divided Huainan and Jiangnan. He was the strongest. He had Heiyundu under his command across the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Later, Xu Wen gained power and controlled the government. Some of the generals in Heiyundu were not

Surrendered and went to overseas islands. Later, Xu Wen's adopted son Li Min usurped power and established the Southern Tang Dynasty, with its capital at Jinling. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the descendants of Heiyundu landed again from Zhangquan and elected Yang Ling'er as their prince to restore the state of Wu.

, this Yang Ling'er is my foster 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 political officer, and after the restoration of the country, I will serve as the prime minister."

Han Xizai stepped forward excitedly and grabbed Su Chen's arm. He looked closely and found that they were indeed very similar. Except for the extra beard, their eyes, nose, face shape, etc. were all very similar.

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were former ministers of Southern Wu.

"Why did Yixuan summon us here? It's not just to get together, right?" Xu Xuan asked directly.

His feelings for Su Chen, half master and half father, were more important than his own son. When he heard the news of Su Chen's accident that day, he felt very sad at home.

"Ah?" Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were both shocked and excited after hearing this. Their hearts were churning. If the arrangement was really like that, there would be great potential.

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 official of the East Palace, when Li Jing came to the throne, he appointed him Yu Yuan Wai Lang, compiled by the History Museum and given Fei. Although Yuan Wai Lang was still

It is a sixth-grade official position, but after all, it is a Shangshu Province Langguan. In the Tang and Five Dynasties, it was a clean-selected official, and the prospects for promotion were better.

Han Xizai stayed in the East Palace for seven years. The long-term relationship with the prince allowed Li Jing to gain a better understanding of Han Xizai's talents. This was a great blessing among misfortunes for Han Xizai.

Han Xizai's heart was churning, but he did not express his position immediately. Instead, he sighed: "I am already sixty-four years old, and my body is old, what use can I do?"

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

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

"Is it really you?"

"No! At present, the old troops of Heiyundu have led an army of nearly 100,000 to attack the Kingdom of Wuyue. I believe that Wuyue will be captured in a few months. At that time, we will go to Hangzhou City in Wuyue to establish the Kingdom of Wu and restore the dynasty.

, when the time comes, officials and soldiers from Tang, Wu and Yue will be gathered together to drive the Song army out of the area south of the Yangtze River, and then compete with the Song Dynasty, and finally send troops north to unify the Central Plains and establish the Wu Dynasty!"

Because the Southern Tang Dynasty had fallen, something happened to the Li family in the imperial court, and there was no hope.

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

Han Xizai also looked at Su Yixuan, feeling that the matter might not be simple. Su Chen might have something else to do with them.

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

"What's going on with the restoration organization of Southern Wu?" Xu Xuan asked in confusion.

The two hesitated for a moment and then were relieved.

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

I never thought that Yang Ling'er, a descendant of the Yang Wu regime, would be supported as the new King of Wu.

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

"Mr. Han, Mr. Xu, you are fine!"

They were all people with great ambitions, but the Southern Tang Dynasty was in decline, Li Yu was a mediocre king, and the party struggle in the court was fierce. Not only could they not rise, they could not even resist the Song army, and they fell so quickly.

"This is really unimaginable!"

In the first year of Shengyuan of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937), Li Min completed the Zen Dynasty and officially founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor. He recalled Han Xizai from other states to Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and granted him the position of Secretary Lang, in charge of Prince Donggong Wenhan. Secretary Lang's duties

He was in charge of the writing of national atlases, but Han Xizai was sent to the Prince's East Palace, which shows that Li Min was still suspicious of him.

Xu Xuan's eyes lit up. If Su Chen occupies some power, then after they come over, they will be able to be reused quickly, and maybe they can also express their ambitions.

For the two of them, if they join the Southern Wu Restoration Army now, they will not be betraying the Southern Tang Dynasty, but will be returning to the Yang-Wu orthodoxy.

Han Xizai and Xu Xuan were both shocked. They didn't expect that Su Chen came to them because of this incident and asked them to join the restoration organization.

However, "Xingzhizhuang" written by Han Xizai, despite its brilliant literary talent and magnificent momentum, also reveals a talent that is arrogant in the world, expresses lofty ambitions, is extremely arrogant, easily attracts criticism, and is regarded as an arrogant and unruly person.

When the Han family committed trouble in the Later Tang Dynasty in the north, Han Xizai disguised himself as a merchant, crossed the Huaihe River via Zhengyang, fled into the Kingdom of Wu, and entered the capital Guangling. In order to gain acceptance from the Kingdom of Wu, he first presented a "

"Xing Zhi Zhi Zhi" is similar to the name declaration, which is to introduce one's place of origin, origin, reasons for joining Wu and life aspirations, etc., so that the other party can have a preliminary understanding of oneself.

But at that time, it was Xu Zhigao who held the real power in the Wu Kingdom. After reading the article, he felt that the young Han Xizai was a bit crazy, and did not value him. He felt that it would be more difficult to put him in a local place. Therefore, there were many scholars in the Wu Kingdom who moved south from the Central Plains at that time, and most of them were promoted.

, only Han Xizai was not reused. He was initially appointed as the school secretary, and successively served in Chuzhou, Hezhou and Changzhou.

They never imagined that the dark clouds would come back and establish a country.

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

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

My life has gone round and round, and finally I have returned to the starting point, but I am no longer young.

Now, Su Chen outlined a more grand strategic plan for them, which made both of them excited, as if the blood in their bodies had been rekindled, and they were both eager to make contributions and leave their names in history. This was a good opportunity for Han and Xu,

Naturally, I don’t want to miss it either.

"Okay, if the new lord doesn't dislike it, I am willing to rejoin Nanwu, help Wu regain its independence, and complete its great cause!" Han Xizai was the first to express his stance. He trusted Su Chen and felt that he would not cheat him.

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

When Su Chen heard this, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "That's great. From now on, the two seniors and I will work together again to create a court that we highly recognize!"
