Han Xizai was happy and excited in his heart, looking at Su Chen's gaze with a bit of appreciation and approval, as if he was a confidant of a friend who had forgotten his year.

However, as a result, his blood pressure increased a little, and he felt that his heart rate was a little faster, and he pointed to the medicine bottle and said, "Give the old man, come with one, now it's a little uncomfortable." ”

"Oh, that's good!" Su Chen poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, and since the volume was about the size of his thumb, it was easy to get stuck if he swallowed it in one bite, so he broke it into three small pieces, handed it to Han Xizai and swallowed it.

After a while, Han Xizai felt that his heartbeat had calmed down, and there was no strong labor pain at the mouth of his heart, and even his breathing was much smoother.

"It really works!" Han Xizai did not hesitate to praise, in the future, with this pill in hand, when he goes out, even if he is tired of traveling, drinking and socializing, and when he has an accident, he can take it in time to relieve his condition and pain.

As long as there is an effect, Su Chen smiled slightly, looking gentle and elegant.

Han Xizai paid more and more attention to the young man in front of him, and continued to ask: "Then do you think that after the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, after stabilization, will he take the first step to deal with the Liao State in the north, collect the sixteen states of Yanyun, and use the strategy of "north first and then south", or will he attack the southern princes and implement the strategy of "south first and then north"?" ”

After Su Chen heard this, he thought about it for a while, and already had the answer in his heart.

Because according to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin adopted the strategy of "first the south and then the north", poured the strength of the country, and basically unified the south in more than ten years, which is a historical trajectory that has long been confirmed.

As early as before the Northern Song Dynasty, the courtiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Li Gu, the servant of the men, and Wang Pu, the privy envoy, proposed the unified policy of "first the south and then the north". Li Gu believes that to unify the world, we should first start with "Jianghuai" and "take Jianghuai as if it were an object in a bag." Chai Rong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also advanced in this way.

It's just that after Chai Rong captured the land of Jianghuai, he suddenly planned to change his strategic policy and attack Liao, because there was a faint king in Liao, and Yelujing, Shizong of Liao, was called the "sleeping king", and he drank and ignored the government for a long time; Chai Jin sent troops to the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately he died of illness on the way to capture Youzhou before he could finish it.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he also faced this strategic choice, whether to unify Jiangnan first, or defeat the Liao State first and capture Yanyun. However, in the end, Song Taizu believed that "today's fierce enemy stops at the Khitan", and instead of attacking the strong enemy first, it is better to "take Xichuan first, and then Jing, Guangzhou, and Jiangnan, then the country will be rich", and then turn back to deal with the Khitan, which is the strategic policy of the early Song Dynasty to the south and then the north.

But after the Northern Song Dynasty unified the south, more than ten years have passed, lost the opportunity to attack the politically corrupt Liao Muzong regime, to give the Liao successors a respite, and then the new emperor Liao Jingzong and Empress Dowager Xiao ruled wisely, and a large number of capable ministers and good generals emerged Yelu Huge and Yelu Sha, and when Zhao Guangyi went to crusade again, he could not resist and returned with a fiasco.

From then on, the northern border troubles became a factor that seriously plagued the development of the Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty paid a heavy price for it.

"It should be, first the south and then the north!" Su Chen pretended to guess.

"Oh, how so?" Han Xizai asked with great interest.

Su Chen smiled: "I guessed it......

"You!" Han Xizai was suddenly a little in a bad mood, he could see that Su Chen should be knowledgeable, but he was false and real, and he was always secretive and unhappy.

When Han Xizai was young, he was open-minded by nature, and his ambitions were higher than the sky, for fear that others would not know that he had talents, had a mind, and could enter the phase, but now the elderly Han Xizai saw some shining points from Su Chen, and he had the heart to cherish his talents and wanted to dig it out, but the latter didn't seem to plan to become famous, and he didn't have the heart to become famous!

"Su Chen, if you can say the answer to the satisfaction of the old man, the old man will give you a thousand taels of silver as a consultation fee, how about it?" Han Xizai saw the clothes he was wearing twice before, the material was average, there was no jade, it was simple, and he felt that his family should be poorer, so he used silver to tempt.

But after Su Chen cooperated with Bai Susu, he was no longer so eager for Qian Guan now, shook his head and chuckled: "Mrs. Han looks up to me, even if I have money, but I have limited learning in my later life, and it is difficult to answer!" ”

"How about sending you two more Meiji? They are all virgins, they can sing and dance, play and sing, and they are proficient in everything......" Han Xizai continued to tempt.

This old and unscrupulous person actually used such a means to lure minors, which made Su Chen almost moved.

However, thinking of the situation in his family, his current life has just passed the subsistence line, and he really can't afford to raise two Meiji prostitutes, if he is discovered by Peng Jingqing and Bai Susu, he may not know how to look at his character, and he can't ruin his image again before he gets enough umbrella and funds!

Although the image of the past has almost reached the bottom line, it is a point to be able to leave a point.

"The late born family is poor, and I really can't afford to support the singer, I can't afford this kind of gift, and I can't take advantage of people!" Su Chen's righteous words refused.

"Don't do this, don't accept that, you young man, you're so unhappy!" After Han Xizai complained for a few words, he suddenly rolled his eyes, stared at him and said, "That old man can only send these two poems to Jinling Palace, please Your Majesty, personally summon you for questioning." ”

"Old Han, this matter is not allowed! The court is dangerous, and the younger generations have no heart for the time being! Su Chen didn't want to get involved in the court for the time being, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Then you just answer the question just now, the old man will not talk about it to outsiders, but it is difficult to itch in his heart, and after you analyze it, the old man can also make a comparison with his own conjecture!" Han Xizai smiled, although he was old, he gave birth to a bit of childlike innocence, and the means were endless, and he didn't play cards according to common sense.

It is said that people are old and childlike, and the older they are, the more unpredictable they are, which is not unreasonable.

This Han Xizai seems to be more shrewd and spicy than the old man of the Bai family, and he is also more bizarre!

Su Chen is actually not difficult to answer this question, because it has long been recorded in the history books, and it is not surprising that in the first half of this year, the Song army will attack the Chu State in the Xianghu area, and the Song army will attack Houshu in the second half of the year.

"Han Lao, Song lord Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to Nanping in the autumn of last year, took Jiangling and Xiazhou, that Jingnan small country, too weak, only two big cities, less than a month, the whole territory fell, and even the Song army did not encounter much resistance, this has explained the strategy of the Song State, that is, "first the south and then the north, first Yi and then the south" strategy, if the younger generation is not bad, the Song State will use troops against the Chu State after the beginning of spring, capture Changsha Mansion, and split the Shu State in the west and the Tang State in the east, so that if the Chu State is quickly destroyed, Then the goal of the Song army at the end of the year is Shu. ”

When Han Xizai heard Su Chen's analysis, he felt a little far-fetched, even he could boldly infer that the Song State stationed in Jingnan last year was a strategic test of the south and then the north, but he did not predict that the Song army would attack Chu or Shu next.

"What if the Chu State and the Shu State are destroyed, will it be my turn to the Tang Kingdom?" Han Xizai frowned and asked.

"After the death of the lips and the cold teeth, the Shu State was destroyed, the Song army should attack the Southern Han Dynasty, and then form an encirclement of the Tang State, gradually encroaching up, and finally shrinking the territory, if only Jinling and Runzhou are left, it will not be able to be saved." Su Chen said lightly.

After Han Xizai heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, he had always been unable to understand the strategy of the Song Army, but at this moment, he actually had a sense of clearing the clouds and suddenly opening up.
