In a small riverside town,
"Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, and you A'Zhu and A'Bi, you can get off the carriage here. You can take a boat directly back to the Great Song Dynasty. Oh, no, you can go directly back to the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Hmph! Su Chen, we'll meet again."
"Young Marquis, then we'll get off the carriage."
"Farewell!"
"Young Marquis, you are a man of your word."
Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, and the other girls spoke to Su Chen one after another.
They all got off the carriage.
After Su Chen saw Huang Rong and the other girls leave,
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
"Finally, I'm leaving. With Li Chengqian's help with the warhorses at Pegasus Ranch, I seem to have nothing to do now. I can't go back to Yangzhou City yet. Where should I go to hide for a while?"
At this time,
A soldier in black armor saluted outside the carriage and said, "Young Marquis, a secret letter from the lady in red!"
"bring here!"
"Yes, young lord!"
I rely on!
Was Yuwen Huaji assassinated and killed?
Chapter Sixty-Five: The Empress of the Sui Dynasty's Help to Su Chen!
Su Chen was extremely surprised when he saw the secret message delivered by the red-clothed messenger.
Yuwen Huaji was assassinated.
He was assassinated in the midst of the army.
Could this have been done by Ning Yuxi?
What about the more than 200,000 troops that went on the expedition? Were they going to be wiped out by the Song Empire?
Do not,
Is it going to be destroyed by the Southern Song Dynasty?
Su Chen thought of Yuwen Huaji leading a large army to attack the Song Empire.
Now Yuwen Huaji has been assassinated.
With over 200,000 elite troops and the Sui border army leaderless, Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty would certainly seize the opportunity to annihilate these 200,000-strong Sui army.
Su Chen rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself,
"These are turbulent times! The Sui Dynasty was already in decline, and if it loses its elite Xiaoguo Army and border troops this time, it will be even more unable to resist the Tang Empire in the future."
at this time,
The capital of the Sui Dynasty
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was extremely angry.
He did not expect that Yuwen Huaji would be assassinated by Jianghu people. Yuwen Huaji had just occupied Jiangning City of the Song Dynasty. Should he withdraw hundreds of thousands of troops now?
"Your Majesty, the army must immediately retreat to the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, with more than 06 troops leaderless, the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty may take the opportunity to annihilate our army."
"Yes, if we don't send a suitable general, the more than 100,000 Xiaoguo soldiers and the 100,000 Sui border troops will probably be wiped out."
"General Han Qinhu needs to guard against the Qin Empire, and General Zhang Xutuo needs to guard against the Tang Empire. Our Sui Dynasty has no famous generals to send to Jiangning City of the Song Dynasty to command the army."
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to safely withdraw our army back to the Sui Dynasty. If our warships are destroyed, our more than 200,000 elite troops will likely be wiped out by the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"Damn those martial arts practitioners, they've ruined the Sui Empire's offensive plans this time."
“The Jianghu people are all lawless people. We must be wary of them in the future, and even suppress them within the empire.”
Yang Guang listened to the discussions among the many ministers.
His head felt like it was going to explode! No! New books are being released on schedule.
"All of you, step back. I will consider this and make a decision tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The ministers in the main hall looked at Yang Guang,
They all withdrew.
The Yuwen family members did not attend court today, and the ministers who had pledged allegiance to the Yuwen family were unable to persuade the emperor.
In the harem,
Yang Guang told the Empress about what had happened in court. Empress Xiao Meiniang, upon hearing Yang Guang's account,
She thought for a moment and then said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten someone?"
Yang Guang, lying on the soft couch, asked in confusion,
"Who? Who have I forgotten?"
The Queen smiled and explained,
"Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei, Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei is ranked number one on the list of martial arts princes. Is it impossible for someone ranked number one on the list to help His Majesty relieve his worries?"
"Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen? He's just a young man in his twenties. Is he capable of leading an army into battle?"
"Your Majesty, wasn't Huo Qubing, the Marquis of Champion, also in his twenties when he defeated the Xiongnu for the Han Empire? Why don't you give Su Chen, the Marquis of Wuwei, a chance?"
Yang Guang thought for a moment, then immediately sat up and nodded.
“That’s right. Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, since he’s ranked number one by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, that kid must have something special about him.”
Yang Guang thought about it and realized it made sense.
Although he didn't know Su Chen's abilities, Yang Guang had no generals to send at the moment, and the rankings of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion wouldn't be wrong. Su Chen might really have the ability to lead the army through this crisis.
The Sui Dynasty's treasury was nearly empty.
If this war fails to extract any resources from the wealthy Song Empire, the Sui Empire may not even be able to pay its soldiers' salaries and wages.
"Guards, convey the imperial decree: Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei is hereby appointed as the Grand General of the Southern Expedition, commanding the Xiaoguo Army and the border troops of the Sui Dynasty. All military affairs shall be under the full authority of Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Empress Xiao Meiniang heard the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yang Guang.
She smiled.
Su Chen!
I have helped you once again. I hope you will have achieved great success by the time I visit the capital next time.
Empress Xiao Meiniang shook her head when she thought of Su Chen.
That little rascal has probably almost forgotten about her.
three years,
Su Chen hadn't been to the capital for three years, and she didn't know how Su Chen was doing now.
Three days later,
Su Chen was heading down the river towards the Great Sui Empire.
Su Chen is also very irritable right now.
It's impossible to go back to Yangzhou now.
There are probably many martial arts figures in Yangzhou who want to find out about him, and even his enemies will go to Yangzhou to check on him.
If Su Chen were to return to Yangzhou at this time,
His identity will likely be exposed.
The Great Demon King Su Chen?
This is absolutely infuriating!
I don't know if I can keep my identity hidden this time.
"System, open the Silver Treasure Chest to calm my nerves!"
"Ding! The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one thousand elite cavalry and one thousand dan of provisions."
I go!
How come they got the army again this time?
Even provisions have been provided?
Couldn't you give me some martial arts manuals and elixirs?
