Chapter 557

The next day, Su Chen woke up early in the morning, heard chickens dancing, practiced the knife for an hour, refreshed, had breakfast, and went to visit Han Xizai in the Han Mansion.

It just so happened that today is the day when the government is closed every ten days, and the civil and military officials did not go to court, so Han Xizai should be at home.

Today's Han Xizai has a great power in the imperial court, and if ordinary officials want to visit, they need to send invitations to make an appointment in advance.

But Su Chen didn't need it, the treatment was similar to that of Xu Xuan, Gao Yue, Yan Xu and other ministers, he would just announce his name, and he would be ushered into the mansion soon, and brought directly to the living room.

When Han Xizai heard that Su Chen was coming, he asked the housekeeper to bring him to the study for a detailed discussion.

"Tomorrow is about to go to war, how is the arrangement at home?"

"The arrangements have been made, Susu and Jingjing will follow me to Runzhou City!"

Han Xizai was a little surprised, and said, "Don't worry about taking them there, it will soon become the first front in the east, and the city will be destroyed at any time, and it will be very dangerous at that time."

Su Chen's face showed a bit of firmness, and he said: "If Runzhou City is broken, then Jinling City won't last long, and the fate is still the same, so I have no intention of letting Runzhou City fall. Since I used to supervise the army, I will Cooperate with General Lu Jiang to defend Runzhou and repel Wuyue soldiers!"

Han Xizai looked at Su Chen: "Oh, from your tone, it seems that you have a plan in mind. Could it be that you have defeated the enemy again?"

Su Chen smiled and shook his head: "Not yet, but Runzhou is a place I'm familiar with. Bai Susu and Jingjing are there, and they also have contacts. We are also familiar with local snakes. If there are really Wu Yue and Song Guo's masterpieces in the city, We will be aware of it, and will not be attacked by people from inside and outside like Changzhou!"

Han Xizai nodded and said, "That's right, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. With the help of the Bai family, Han family, Xu family, etc., I believe your strength has increased."

Su Chen said: "Well, people from the secret spy department, I also plan to bring some people over to operate from Runzhou first, conduct actual combat exercises, inquire about various news in the city, etc. Carry out a search, as long as these saboteurs are found, the city is stable and the outside is unanimous, there is still an advantage in defending the city."

Han Xizai suddenly thought, "What's the matter with those generals? I haven't heard of those people you brought. Hey Yan, Ma Chengcheng, Ma Chengjun and others, how did you select them?"

"Haha, I just scanned the names of these people from the files of the Ministry of Officials, and I feel that there is a sense of intimacy, and maybe they can be used by me." Su Chen made an excuse casually.

"Oh, that's how it is. Sometimes, it really takes a little bit of luck. It's up to people to make things happen!" Han Xizai seemed to think of his own life. , Empty intellect.

Han Xizai said with emotion: "Su Chen, if you can defeat the Wuyue soldiers, you will be able to justify your name. You will have both civil and military skills. In the future, you will become a general and become a prime minister, and you will even be famous in history."

Su Chen thought that with these poems and novels alone, he was destined to be injected into the history of literature.

As for the biography of the princes and generals in the official history, he didn't care too much. Even if he became a powerful minister, most of them would not end well, unless there was an emperor who trusted him very much, who could support him, tolerate him, and grow up with him. The mind of an emperor.

At least Li Yu, a foolish emperor, couldn't do it. Otherwise, Lin Renzhao, Pan You and other loyal and patriotic people would not be bestowed to death by him in the end.

Su Chen sighed: "I haven't thought about this, I just want to do my best and obey the fate."

"Okay, Master Xu and I have discussed it. We will urge the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households to ensure that you have soldiers, horses, grain, grass, weapons, etc. in Runzhou. If you recruit troops locally, you can also handle them yourself. , once Lu Jiang has a problem, is injured, or wants to surrender, you can take the place of the commander-in-chief, sit in Runzhou in person, and give orders to the three armies. I and a few ministers will invite you for this secret decree!" Han Xizai said come out.

After listening to Su Chen, he immediately felt relieved, and the real power of himself as the supervisor of the army was even greater.

Once Lu Jiang has a problem, is injured, or defected, he can replace him and become the coach of Runzhou City.

"That's how I thank Uncle Han." Su Chen cupped his hands.

Han Xizai continued: "Well, my third son is left behind in Runzhou City, and the entire Han family will also cooperate with you. You can use the property there anytime you want."

"Thank you!" Su Chen was a little moved, and expressed his thanks again.

"The east gate of Jinling City is up to you to defend!" Han Xizai sighed, and then said: "However, if the city is really broken, remember, don't fight to the end, save your life, you are still young, so talented, if you If there is an accident on the battlefield, it is heaven's jealousy."

Su Chen smiled faintly. He also thought so in his heart. He carried it to the end, and in the end he really couldn't turn the tide. He could only let nature take its course, and it was impossible to die for the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The two communicated for more than an hour before Su Chen left Han Xizai's study, intending to reply and prepare for the expedition tomorrow.

He was walking in the yard, before he went out, he met Han Xiaopang head-on.

When Han Yunpeng saw Su Chen, he was extremely enthusiastic: "Brother Su, you have finished talking with my father."

Su Chen said: "Well, the chat is over."

Han Yunpeng said excitedly: "I heard that you are going to become the supervising army, the deputy commander, and you have to lead the troops back to Runzhou. This is too powerful. Can I go with you? You also named me a school lieutenant or something. "

Su Chen shook his head: "You can push it down, do you know how dangerous it is to go to the battlefield, your father will definitely not let you go, so don't get too fancy."

Han Yunpeng argued: "Brothers in battle, we are good brothers at the turn of eight worships. How can I enjoy happiness in Jinling City when you go to the battlefield? No, I will also go to Runzhou. Even if I don't fight, I can handle some small things for you. After all, Runzhou is my stronghold, and many dudes listen to me!"

Seeing that he insisted on going, Su Chen said helplessly: "If you can persuade your father, I don't care, I can go with you."

Han Yunpeng said: "When are you leaving?"

"At tomorrow's hour, the three armies will set off!" Su Chen replied.

"Don't worry, I'll leave the city early and wait for you halfway." Han Yunpeng said with a smile.

Su Chen can't do anything about him, and he can't get involved in this matter, so just pretend he doesn't know.

Anyway, since I am in Runzhou, I can protect him and prevent him from messing around.

"Think about it yourself, I'll go back home and prepare my luggage for the expedition."

Su Chen is not here to chat with him anymore, the expedition is imminent, he will go back and make more preparations, especially the magic arm crossbow and black powder that he secretly researched, maybe they can be used this time, to give Wu Yue soldiers a severe beating.
