At this moment, Meng Xuanyu sincerely begged Su Chen to guide and preach, and he was already convinced of his talent and insight.

Meng Xuanyu felt that Su Chen was just a talented literati who knew how to write poetry, and this kind of humanities often did not understand politics, and was full of economic righteousness, but there was no practical strategy for governing the country, and it was not of great use at a critical juncture.

However, after listening to Su Chen's remarks, he has a deeper understanding of Su Chen's ability, this is definitely a person who is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs and knows how to make practical decisions, and is by no means the kind of talent who talks on paper and is not pragmatic like other scholars.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know anything about the affairs of Shu State in terms of these specific situations, national strength, etc., so it is not easy to come up with countermeasures immediately." Brother Meng can answer some questions, such as the military strength, grain and grass, generals in the army, etc., how long can the Song State withstand the Song Kingdom? ”

Hearing this, Meng Xuanyu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "There are 200,000 soldiers and horses in Shu, there are not many outstanding good generals, and the grain and grass are enough, but the fighting spirit in the army is not high, and most of the Song troops in the north have inherited the Northern Zhou army, the division of tigers and wolves, and they fight all year round, which is not something that the Shu army can compete with at all!" ”

Su Chen nodded, according to historical records, the Song army attacked Houshu in November after the beginning of winter, and it was like a bamboo. In January of the following year, when the soldiers approached the city, Meng Chang gave up resistance and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, without making much resistance at all.

As a result, there was a famous poem "Poem on the Death of the Country" by Mrs. Hua Rui of Hou Shu during the Five Dynasties period: "The flag was erected on the king's city, and the concubine learned about it in the deep palace?" 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men! ”

This poem is written with passion, showing Madame Blossom's deep sorrow for the loss of the country and the pain of the misguided people; also wrote about her personality, and lived out the image of a talented woman who knows shame and has character.

Su Chen's eyes looked at the white face, and he said: "Actually, although the number of troops of Shu cannot confront the army of Song State head-on, but the mountains of Shu are far away, the terrain is special, the jungle is dense, the rivers are majority, and there are many miasma. Therefore, as long as the Shu army does not hold out, it may not be able to drag down some mountain and river fortresses and places that must be passed, and drag the Song army that is traveling from afar and going deep alone. ”

After Meng Xuanyu heard this, he nodded slightly, these points of view have also been mentioned by the strategists in his house, which seems to be feasible, but the key is that the current Shu army has been peaceful for too long, and it has no combat effectiveness, and when it sees the Song army of the tiger and wolf division, it has no courage to resist at all.

"It's not a secret, the fighting spirit of the Shu army is sluggish, and the Shu army alone can't fight against the Song army, so this time the envoy came to Jinling City, but also wanted to meet the Tang official's family, and implored Nian to send troops to aid Shu in the state of brothers, enhance the confidence of the Shu army, and unite to save the doom of Shu this time." Meng Xuanyu said worriedly.

Su Chen nodded slightly, understanding what he meant, however, in history, Li Yu did not send troops to rescue Shu, because he himself was already afraid of the Song State, did not dare to make extraneous branches, acted against the northern court, and did not save the destruction of the surrounding neighbors.

As the saying goes, no snowflake is innocent when it comes to an avalanche.

Su Chen suddenly said: "Actually, it is not impossible to change the fighting spirit of the Shu army in a short period of time!" ”

"Oh, what's the solution?" Meng Xuanyu asked with some excitement.

Su Chen said very calmly: "Brother Meng sit down first, let me come." ”

"Okay, listen up." Meng Xuanyu arched his hand.

"First, do a good job in controlling public opinion, through the printing means controlled by the imperial court, distribute newspapers and periodicals, exaggerate how the Song army was brutal, indiscriminately killed innocents in the land of Jingchu, dug up the graves of the ancestors of officials and generals, and even opened museums to rob tombs, burned, killed and looted in Jiangbei, etc., and vigorously publicized these. If the soldiers of the Shu army cannot defend their homes and defend the country, all the Shu army will be killed by the Song army, and the women and children will be bullied and oppressed by the Song army. ”

"This ...... May I? Meng Xuanyu was a little surprised, he had never thought of this method of manipulating public opinion, let alone tried it.

Su Chen smiled: "Of course it is useful, forget that in the year when Linzi of Qi was besieged, Tian Dan, the general of Qi State, used this public opinion strategy to expand hatred, stimulate the Qi army soldiers, and even induce the Yan army to dig graves outside the city, so that the Qi army was united and united to drive away the invasion of the Yan army." ”

Meng Xuanyu pondered, nodded slowly, and said, "Makes sense!" ”

"Second, in the use of generals, more tiger generals, capable people, and heroes from all over the green forest will be used to mobilize the heroes and heroes of Shu to enlist in the army and improve combat effectiveness. As far as I know, Wenzhou Thorn Shi Quan Shixiong, as well as Jiazhou Thorn Shi Lu Han, Guozhou Thorn Shi Song Dewei, and Suizhou Thorn Shi Wang Ke are all people who can break mountains and rivers and can be of great use. ”

Su Chen talked eloquently, his expression was calm, reasonable, and well-founded, as for these Shu generals, it was Su Chen who saw it when he was reading history books, after the Song army destroyed the Shu Kingdom, because the Song generals were not strictly controlled locally, the Song army brutally abused the Hou Shu soldiers, which led to continuous uprisings in various places, among which Quan Shixiong, Lu Han and others were the leaders of the rebel army and were recorded in the history.

Meng Xuanyu was a little surprised, as the second prince of Shu, he didn't know all of these local governors, and he wasn't even familiar with two of them, and he didn't know where they were doing the assassination, but Su Chen was able to say the names of the four local assassins of Shu so accurately, which shocked him.

This is exactly the same as Zhuge Wolong's ability to know the world's affairs when he was not out of Longzhong!

His gaze at Su Chen changed even more, and he was shocked with admiration, and those Danfeng eyes bloomed brightly, making them even more charming.

Su Chen was a little distracted, but quickly recovered, reminding himself that there was a man in front of him, not a woman, and he couldn't be fascinated by his "beauty", it would be too useless.

"Su Gongzi really has the talent to govern the country, and now Meng is convinced." Meng Xuanyu sighed lightly, revealing a look of great admiration.

Su Chen shook his head and said: "It's just talking on paper, whether it's useful or not, we have to wait for Shu to try it." Besides, even if you know, it is unknown whether you can persuade the Emperor of Shu to do so. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xuanyu nodded again, agreed with Su Chen's analysis, and arched his hand: "Thank you for Su Gongzi's advice, I will call someone to send it to Peng's mansion in the afternoon of one thousand taels of gold." ”

A thousand taels of gold is equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver, which is by no means a small amount, and there are no silver tickets in this era, so it is impossible to carry it with you, so you can only send someone to send it to the house.

"I salute Mr. Su!" Meng Xuanyu raised his jade jade luminous cup and toasted to Su Chen.

Su Chen glanced down at his wine glass, which was just an ordinary porcelain cup, and immediately had an extra heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng's wine glass is of high quality and jade, not like ordinary things, can you borrow it?" ”

"Oh, of course!" Meng Xuanyu handed over the wine glass in his hand.

Su Chen took it, and after observing it for a few moments, he praised the luminous cup twice, then wiped out the wine in the cup, and chuckled: "The cup is a good cup, and the wine is also a good wine, this cup saved me, but I still have something to do in the next Peng Mansion, so I won't accompany Brother Meng to eat and drink anymore, and say goodbye!" ”

Meng Xuanyu's expression froze, his eyes glanced at Su Chen, and then at his wine glass, already dumbfounded.
