Chapter 347: The Prince of Shu

Meng Xuanyu's face is like a crown of jade, handsome and beautiful, and polite, if he doesn't speak, he is like a beautiful embryo dressed as a man, which is pleasing to the eye.

His smile is warm, natural and frank, giving people a feeling of "Revlon blowing in the spring breeze".

However, Meng Xuanyu's face soon became a little stiff, because after Su Chen entered the private room, his eyes kept looking up and down his throat and chest, and even glanced at his crotch and legs......

For a while, Meng Xuanyu felt some strange feelings, and even a trace of shame.

"Ahem, Master Su, this is my Meng Gongzi." Wei Ying coughed dryly to relieve the awkward atmosphere at the moment.

Su Chen came back to his senses at this time, secretly screaming in his heart, his eyes met Meng Xuanyu's eyes, squeezed out a smile, hugged his fists and said, "Su Chen has seen this Brother Meng." ”

Meng Xuanyu suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "Su Gongzi's talent is amazing, and the poems that have been circulated outside, such as "Appealing to Heartfelt Love", "Su Musha", "Butterfly Love Flower", etc., have all been read below, and I admire Gongzi's talent very much, and I have long been looking forward to meeting one day, but I didn't expect to meet here. took the liberty of inviting, hoping that there was no surprise to the son's Yaxing who was eating wine with his friends. ”

Su Chen listened to the voice of Meng Gongzi in white who was gentle and polite, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.

"Brother Meng has won the award, and he is ashamed!" Su Chen said politely.

Meng Xuanyu smiled and said: "Master Su must not be humble, this is not Meng Mou's own praise, but the evaluation of the people of Jinling on you, so that the upper-class nobles and the lower-class people can have a high reputation for you, then you must have real talent and real learning!" Come on, don't just stand, let's sit down and talk! ”

For a short time, Su Chen couldn't figure out the heel of this person's origin, so he was a little wary, glanced at Bai Tao, and then sat down at the table, while Bai Lang took the initiative to stand by Su Chen's side and competently acted as a personal guard.

Meng Xuanyu saw that the two of them were wary, and he didn't care. Because this is also normal, if the other party is arrogant and unsuspecting, then he has to wonder if this talented man has low emotional intelligence.

Proper precautions and prudence just show that this person is responsible for doing things in a restrained manner, will not be out of proportion, and is not too blind and arrogant.

"Is Meng Gongzi from Jinling?" Su Chen asked tentatively.

Meng Xuanyu pondered for a while, and decided that it was better to be honest about his identity, so he said: "Don't hide it, Meng is not from the Tang Kingdom, but from the Shu Kingdom, and the Tang State is a neighbor and a right gang, this time he followed the envoy group into Jinling City." ”

"Shu people!" Su Chen muttered to himself, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, knowing who this person was.

Meng Chang, the current lord of Shu, has three sons, and the second prince was canonized as King Bao, whose name is Meng Xuanjue.

No wonder he felt that the name was familiar, Su Chen had seen this name when he was reading the history of the last years of the Five Dynasties, but there was not much emphasis on writing and ink in history, and the deeds were not obvious, so he just glanced at it.

At present, this white-clothed Meng Gongzi, who claims to be from Shu State, and is the name of this Meng Xuanyu, evokes Su Chen's memory, and guesses that this person is likely to be the second prince of Shu Kingdom.

So the purpose of this person's coming to the capital, Su Chen vaguely guessed something, it was likely to be related to the recent invasion of Shu by the Song Dynasty, and the envoy group wanted to come to the Tang State to seek reinforcements.

Su Chen sighed: "Brother Meng originally followed the envoy group and came to Jinling. ”

Meng Xuanyu nodded slightly, looked at Su Chen with his eyes and said, "Su Gongzi should have heard the news that the Song army is attacking Shu, right?" ”

Su Chen had no reason to pretend not to know, and responded: "Yes, I've heard a little!" ”

Meng Xuanyu sighed: "I can't hide it, I waited for the envoy this time to come for this state affair." ”

Su Chen remained silent, his eyes looked at the past, and met Meng Xuanyu's eyes, seeing what he was going to say next, and why he invited himself to come over to talk.

"Su is still Bai Ding's identity, and he has nothing to do with national affairs and state diplomacy at all, I don't know if Brother Meng is invited to come over, what do you have to say?"

Meng Xuanyu didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said directly: "I have admired Su Gongzi's talent and learning, and I have already had the heart to visit, and by the way, I want to ask Su Chen for advice, if my Shu Kingdom wants to protect itself, what strategy do you have to retreat from the Song Kingdom?" ”

Su Chen smiled when he heard this: "Brother Tai said that I laughed, I didn't even enter the Tang Kingdom, I have never been an official for a day, and I don't know much about the situation in the Tang Kingdom, let alone the Shu Kingdom." ”

Meng Xuanyu shook his head and said: "The ancients had a saying, "In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away", some capable people with lofty ideals do not have to watch in person, but also know the major events in the world, because of his vision and analytical ability, even if Su Gongzi is not familiar with the affairs of Shu, he can tell it in the next, after Brother Su listens, as long as he solves his doubts in the next, as a reward, he can give a thousand taels of gold as a thanks! ”

After Su Chen heard this, he hesitated a little, although the golden thousand taels were very vulgar, but ...... It works!

With this money, he can buy a big mansion of his own in Jinling City, hire some domestic servants, and be able to leave half of it; The surplus can be used to buy a pastoral village outside the city.

In the future, he must have his own power, and he can't be such a person, who has no power, and has no subordinates and subordinates, who is too passive.

Su Chen thought about it, and then bought some orphaned teenagers with good bones and talents from all over the country and came back, and put them in Zhuangzi outside the city for training, and after a few years, he could become a good family guard. Even if he personally instructed and taught some knowledge, it could be of other uses, and then he would have a hand-to-hand manpower.

Su Chen organized the language in his heart, and then spoke: "Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, the school is calculated, and the situation is asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. These Meng brothers also know it. ”

Meng Xuanyu nodded and said: "Meng is not talented, and he has read it throughout, I don't know why Su Gongzi talked about it?" ”

Su Chen felt the watery eyes of the second prince, as if he could speak, he was extremely handsome and enchanting, if he was painted with rouge powder and changed into women's clothes, it would be no less than the appearance of Qinglou Huadan.

Being stared at like this, Su Chen couldn't stand it a little!

"The meaning of the next is actually very simple, the war involves the country, how the national strength is, how good the generals are, how the soldiers' fighting spirit is, whether the grain and grass are abundant, whether the terrain is dangerous, whether the law is strict, whether the military spirit is slack, whether the court has the determination to fight against the water, these are all factors that affect the resistance to the Song army, can you explain these to me?"

"This ......" Meng Xuanyu was asked, thinking seriously about Su Chen's words, his face became more and more ugly. Because, after thinking about it in his heart, these factors don't seem to be possessed in the court and army of Shu State.

At this time, Meng Xuanyu no longer underestimated Su Chen's ability, got up and crossed his hands, bowed down, and said sincerely: "Please ask Master Su for advice, what should Shu do in order to avoid the trouble of losing the country!" ”
