Chapter 223 Deng Guo Sudden Armistice

Chapter 222: Deng Guo's Sudden Armistice

When Cui Hao said this, Deng Sheng was completely confused. What does this mean?No increase in troops, no attack, is it possible to give up on destroying Wu?
Deng Sheng asked Cui Hao puzzled: "What does Cui Qing mean? Is it possible that you want to let the widow withdraw the army? Give up the plan to destroy Wu?"

Cui Hao shook his head and said: "No, my lord, the eradication of Wu is already the general trend, so how can we give up halfway? The reason why I said this is because it is more beneficial for our army to eradicate Wu."

Once Cui Hao’s words came out, Deng Sheng and the others were even more confused. It’s not that Su Hong and Jiang Wan are far behind Cui Hao, it’s just that they are good at different things. Jiang Wan is very good at government affairs. Su Hong is good at tactics, while Cui Hao has a strong view of the overall situation. He is good at strategy, and he often sees more and sees farther than Su Hong and Jiang Wan.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of Deng Sheng and the others, Cui Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is like this. Now that Wu Guo has pulled the last of his strength to the battlefield, then this will definitely hurt Wu Guo. People's livelihood has been greatly impacted, and even completely destroyed Wu's people's livelihood, so I suggest that your majesty stay on the sidelines."

"Both Zhou Kai and Lu Feng are well versed in military affairs, and they must know that even if these 20 people are pulled into the battlefield, they will not be our army's opponents, so they will not take the initiative to attack our army unless it is absolutely necessary. , so we don't need to be in a hurry. On the contrary, as long as our army maintains an offensive state, Wu will not dare to dismiss these 20 people easily. In this way, the farmland in Wu's country will be abandoned. In the long run, even if our army does not attack , There will be problems within Wu, and the king of Wu will lose the hearts of the people of Wu if he says so. In the future, Jiangdong will be under the rule of my great Deng, and the hearts of the people will be easily attached." Cui Hao said.

When Cui Hao said this, everyone suddenly realized that this was a conspiracy. I will not fight with you, but I will not retreat. I have been in a stalemate with you. Naturally, Deng Guo is fine. The money, food and materials seized from Chencheng , It is enough for these 10,000+ people to spend several years in Jiangdong, but the state of Wu can't do it. In recent years, the state of Wu has had frequent wars, and the consumption of money and food has been serious. In addition, the loss of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Yuzhang has caused the state of Wu to lose even more A large amount of money and food, plus the fact that the country of Wu has already started to stop production in order to support the war, the money and food stored in Danyang and Wu Jun will not last long, and by then, there may be a big riot in the country of Wu , and maybe even a large number of people will rise up.

Cui Hao's idea made Deng Sheng very satisfied. In this way, there is no need to continue to increase troops in Jiangdong, and there is no need to give up the plan to destroy Wu.

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, Cui Qing is indeed a minister of the country, such a clever plan has reversed the dilemma of our army at once."

"Your Majesty has praised you so much, I am ashamed to be your servant!" Cui Hao said humbly.

Soon, a decree was sent to the front line by a fast horse. Yue Fei was also confused when he received this decree, and he didn't understand why. Later, under Zhu Sheng's explanation, Yue Fei felt the power of this strategy. As the great man in history who proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the nine-character mantra of building high walls, accumulating grain widely, and slowly calling the king, Zhu Sheng knew very well the importance of money and grain to an army and a country, so he easily interpreted this saying The meaning of the will.

Now that Wancheng has made a plan, Yue Fei can only execute it. At the same time, Yue Fei also sent someone to order Chang Yuchun of Lujiang to stop the offensive of the Spirit Snake Guard and Tiger Wing Guard, but it is still necessary to make an attack at any time. The posture made Wu Guo not dare to dismiss the army easily, and when necessary, he could even launch some innocuous attacks.

Deng Jun's strange behavior also made Zhou Kai feel very strange, but as a world-class famous general, and his political ability is not low, Zhou Kai also knew Deng Jun's real intention after thinking about it seriously, but he didn't What is the solution? This is a conspiracy. Given the current situation in Wu country, it cannot be resolved at all. After all, they are attacking your vitals. If you don’t solve your own problems, there is nothing you can do about them. In fact, the last way is to take the initiative to attack , but Zhou Kai and even his own situation, with these recruits on the battlefield, I'm afraid they don't even know how they died.

Deng Jun neither attacked nor retreated, and Wu Jun did not dare to take the initiative to attack, let alone dismiss the newly recruited 20 farmers. The more powerless, in order to survive, the king of Wu even sent people to collect the grain storage of the people's homes, which made the whole country of Wu full of complaints. Even Wu Guocheng was very desperate about this, so he simply ignored it and hid in his mansion , Ignore it.

With Zhang Chao's retreat, the power of Wu State fell into the hands of Huang Er and Lin Yuan, two well-known slanderous ministers of Wu State in an instant. The strategy of "all the people are soldiers" was originally created by the two of them, and now they have spared no effort in carrying it out. up.

Although the country is in a mess now, there is no more bad news coming from the front line, and it has made King Wu a few days of comfort.

As everyone knows, all of this is under the control of Deng Guo. According to Cui Hao's strategy, the more Wu Guo does in order to support the front line, the more beneficial it will be for the future to occupy Wu Guo and win the hearts of the people. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

As Deng Jun stopped the offensive, the battle in Jiangdong also gained a brief calm, but the battle in Guanzhong continued, but it soon fell silent.

Since the first battle in Mei County, the Han army has basically given up on Wugong and the city west of Meiyang. Later, under the strong offensive of the Qin army, the Han army retreated steadily, and finally withdrew from the Youfufeng area and retreated to Jingzhao.

But by this time, the Qin army had already begun to appear powerless. After all, the Qin State only had the barren land of Xiliang, which could support an army of 30 to march eastward. However, the money, food and military resources were almost exhausted, so Baiqi no longer attacked the main force of the Han army in Jingzhao, but turned to capture Beidi, Anding, Hanzhong and other places.

On August 16th, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army broke through Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, and completely occupied the entire Hanzhong County. In addition to the two counties of Beidi and Anding captured before, the Qin army had already compressed the power of the Han Dynasty in Beijing. In the narrow area of ​​Zhao, Hedong, Hongnong, and Zuo Fengyi, it is impossible to advance or retreat.

In Chang'an, in Weiyang Palace, King Liu Xie of Han was already sick in bed. In fact, King Han was already frightened when he was in Yong County, and his health began to slowly deteriorate. Coupled with the defeat at the front, Hanzhong, Beidi, The loss of stability made Han Wang's body even worse, as if he had reached the point where his oil was exhausted.

Cao Qun, Li Bu and other important officials of the Han Dynasty, as well as Liu Zhen, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, stood in front of the bed of the King of Han.

"Cough! Cough!" Suddenly, the sleeping King Han opened his eyes, and Liu Zhen and others quickly stepped forward to help him up, and greeted him with concern.

Faced with everyone's concern, the King of Han was fine, so he asked Cao Qun, "Mr. Cao, what's the situation on the front line?" Apart from the battle with the Qin army on the front line, there is nothing that the King of Han can remember in his heart. , so after the King of Han woke up, he immediately asked about the front line.

Cao Qun replied: "Your Majesty, after the Qin Army captured Hanzhong, Beidi, and Anding, it has been hoarding troops in Huaili, and has not continued to advance eastward. However, under the command of General Cao, our army has already been in Xiliu, Xiliu, and Anding. Du You, Feng, Hao and other places have deployed defenses, please rest assured, the front line is all right."

This is already the only good news out of the bad news Hanwang has received in this period of time. Although it is a bit funny, it would be nice if it could be blocked.

The King of Han nodded with a smile, and said: "That's good, that's good, by the way, the widow has been feeling unwell recently, so the prince will supervise the country in the future, and will be assisted by Cao Xiang, Li Qing, and the old general Xiahou. The frontline battle report still needs to be given to the widow.”

"Here!" Everyone responded.

The king of Han knew that his health might be dying, so while he still had time, he planned to pave the way for his son so that his son could take over the country of Han smoothly.
