Xu Qingwan listened to Su Chen's reply, her expression showed a little disappointment, her heart was very eager for Su Chen to speak at length, guide the country, and make suggestions for the situation in Shu, so that her divine friend Madame Hua Rui could feel at ease, not so isolated, and felt desperate.

But Su Chen's words were very calm, and he said the most critical point of the war, that is, the competition of national strength, military strength, and financial strength.

This is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Zongheng family could lobby everywhere.

"Is there really no way?" Xu Cainu showed an anxious look.

Su Chen felt Xu Cainu's eager gaze, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "The relationship between Shu and Tang is cold, one Shu State cannot compete with Song State, so it can only seek help from other princes. ”

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said: "However, no one in the rest of the states dares to confront the Song State, it is too late to dodge, and no one will really send troops to help the Shu State!" ”

Su Chen nodded slightly, and analyzed: "At present, the national strength of the Song State is gradually becoming stronger, and it already has the ambition of swallowing mountains and rivers and unifying the world, and the Zhao Guanjia is also eloquent, very knowledgeable about the use of troops, and strategizing in Bianjing City, Shu is only his goal after annexing Jing Chu, and after the destruction of Shu, it is the Southern Han Dynasty, the Fujian State that exists in name only, and then coerced Wu Yue to become a minister, and finally surrounded the largest Tang State in the south of the Yangtze River, which should be the strategy of the Zhao Guanjia to unify the south. ”

Xu Qingwan frowned: "In this way, our Tang Kingdom will be very dangerous in the end." ”

Su Chen nodded and said, "Of course, Miss Xu......"

"Call me Qingwan!" Xu Qingwan corrected his salutation.

"Okay, Qingwan!" Su Chen obediently called her Fang name, and suddenly felt that the friendship deepened, and continued: "You have read so many history books, you should be able to understand that major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. Now in the chaotic era at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were in turmoil, close to a hundred years, until the Later Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Song State, and the northern court gradually became stronger, and it already had the strength to annex various countries, so the general trend of history will move towards unification. ”

"The general trend of history!" Xu Qingwan muttered these words, quite touched, looked at Su Chen with bright eyes, and felt that his perspective on the problem seemed to be a bit long-term, detached from the position of his family and country, giving people a feeling of great wisdom.

"Then what should we do, we can't watch the country ruin, the mountains and rivers shattered, and the south of the Yangtze River being captured! I heard that the Song army was mostly the Later Zhou army, which had a lot of Hu blood, in the north and south of Huaishui, suppressed many of the state capitals against the rule of the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou merchants and squires were also looted by the Song army, and tens of thousands of Huainan people died. ”

Xu Qingwan expressed her worries, and these news came from Jiangbei.

Su Chen said truthfully: "I don't know about the government of Shu, how many troops they have, how their armor is, whether the military rations are enough, whether the lord of the country has courage, etc., I don't know, so I can't come up with a strategy for Shu." However, as a native of the Tang Kingdom, I sometimes think about how the Tang Kingdom should face the attack of the Song army in the future, and how we should win over our allies to turn the Tang Kingdom into a safe place. ”

Xu Qingwan asked, "Then did you think of it?" ”

Su Chen said eloquently: "There are nothing more than two points, one is to strengthen yourself, which is fundamental, and you need to be hard to strike iron; The second is to make allies and let others understand that they need to unite to fight against the strength of the Song State. ”

Xu Wanqing said curiously: "Yixuan, have you been planning ahead and thinking about these state affairs?" ”

Su Chen was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "This is also the reason why I chose the imperial examination, becoming an official can contribute more to the Tang State, and some of my own ideas, with the help of the Sun Party, may be able to strengthen the strength of the Tang State." ”

On the one hand, we can send people to communicate with the Khitan in the grassland, the party in Xiazhou, and the Zhenfu of Linzhou in the northwest to drag down the Song State with troops, and on the other hand, we can clean up the nominal Fujian State and obtain Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, so that the southeast of the Tang State can be opened up to the coastline, where salt can be dried, and we can also expand maritime exchanges, obtain more commercial and trade exchanges, and solve the increasingly embarrassing financial and treasury vacancies of the Tang State."

These are all strategies for Su Chen's recent study and leisure time, and he has recently considered for Tang Guo to deal with the dilemma, although it is still immature, and there are even many details that have not been discussed, but the overall idea still has merit.

After listening to this, Xu Cainu expressed her amazement at Su Chen's unique insights, seeing that he is not only a talented writer with outstanding literary talents, but also has the ability to govern the country, and it is possible for him to enter the prime minister in the future.

Xu Qingwan sighed a little excitedly: "Then I look forward to Yi Xuan being able to enter the rank of scholar, and then smoothly become an official, speak for the imperial court, and save the country." ”

Su Chen listened to the talented woman's praise, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's not so easy, in fact, I think that compared with the Song Kingdom, in addition to national strength and military strength, the Tang Kingdom also lacks a spirit. The prevailing style in the south of the Yangtze River is prevalent, emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, not doing practical work, and the people lack a sense of blood. ”

"Flesh?" Xu Qingwan was suspicious.

Su Chen said: "It is the courage to fight, dare to shed blood, dare to sacrifice the blood and bravery, at present, the people of Jiangzuo are addicted to singing and dancing, just like the prosperous era, this is the illusion brought to the people by the early 30 years of the Tang Dynasty without a war, after recuperation." Therefore, a few years ago, the fall of the thirteen states in Jiangbei would have been so easy and without combat power. In the future, if the Tang State wants to fight against the Song State, it is necessary to stimulate the patriotic feelings of the court officials, the common people, and the knights, the determination to defend the country, and the brave and fearless martial spirit! ”

Xu Qingwan was puzzled: "However, the world has formed such a comfortable state, and the people are content with the status quo, how can they awaken their consciousness?" ”

Su Chen explained: "This is the reason why I gave up medicine and followed literature, medical skills can only treat a few patients, but can not awaken the brave spirit of thousands of people, so that in a few years will be invaded and slaughtered by the Song army, so I plan to publish and publish more historical martial arts legends, mainly to shape the spirit of 'chivalrous man, for the country and the people', guide more chivalrous people to contribute to the family and country in Jiangnan, so that the people love martial arts and have flesh!" ”

Xu Qingwan was stunned and asked, "Are you going to publish the legend again?" Is it similar to the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties? ”

"That kind of coolness and popularity are not enough, it must be able to make the public listen to the fascinating story, and my bookstore plans to publish the "Condor Shooting" trilogy."

Su Chen smiled slightly, he decided to use the story of the hero Guo Jing to inspire some scholars and ordinary people to recognize martial arts, instead of all the words between the flowers and the words of Gong Yan.

As for the dynastic background of the Song State, Su Chen planned to replace it with the Jin State, so that the people of the Tang State could be substituted into it while loving martial arts, and feel the threat of the Song State and the mission of protecting the family and defending the country.
