Chapter 24 Deng Han Peace Talks
Chapter 24: Deng Han peace talks
Deng Sheng was really angry just now, what the hell, he has already lost the battle, and he is still so arrogant, it is really infuriating.

After Deng Sheng returned to the study, after he calmed down, he felt a little annoyed. He felt that he was too impulsive just now. If Zhao Xin had a strong temper and returned to Chang'an in a fit of anger, then the next battle would definitely be unavoidable. Yes, although Deng Sheng kept saying that he was not afraid and would fight if he wanted to, but the actual situation did not allow Deng Guo to continue fighting. Since Deng Wangan was 15 years old, in just four years, Deng Guo fought three consecutive battles and lost soldiers. The motor has reached [-], and it is already hurting, not to mention that the domestic food has already been exhausted, and it cannot continue to fight.

At this time, the servant sent word that Cui Hao, Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Bin, and Jiang Wan asked to see him.

After several people came in to salute, Deng Sheng said with a wry smile: "Zhuqing, I was a little impulsive just now, how should I end it now?"

Everyone laughed, Cui Hao said to Deng Sheng: "Although Your Majesty was a little impulsive just now, the ministers thought it was just right."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Deng Sheng was a little puzzled.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "My lord, this peace talk is to constantly test the other party's bottom line. Zhao Xin's domineering look just now must have made the king uncomfortable, but this is exactly what Zhao Xin wanted to achieve. The reason why Zhao Xin is so arrogant is It is nothing more than telling us that Han is not afraid of us, so that he can take the initiative in the negotiation. If the king is timid because of this, Zhao Xin will definitely make progress. A few points have been cut, which is very beneficial to the next negotiation, so the ministers feel that what the king did just now is just right."

After being told by Yao Guangxiao, Deng Sheng felt much more at ease, and said, "Then what do you think, what do you think about the conditions proposed by Zhao Xin?"

Zhang Bin said: "Your Majesty, I think we should return Wuguan to Han." When Zhang Bin said this, he hesitated, but he still said it.

"What does Zhang Qing mean by this? Wuguan was captured by our army's soldiers, and I plan to use it as my Great Deng's western barrier. As long as there is Wuguan, even if the whole country of Han comes, I will have nothing to do. Moreover, Zhang Qing should also be aware of the importance of Wuguan." Hearing that Zhang Bin said that he would return Wuguan to Han, Deng Sheng was a little unhappy.

Zhang Bin also saw that Deng Sheng didn't want to return Wuguan to Han, but he also had his own opinion, so he continued: "My lord, of course I know the importance of Wuguan to my great Deng, but Han Guo We will not give up Wuguan. If we don’t return Wuguan to Han, Han will still do everything possible to fight for it in the future. Even though our country is not afraid of Han, we have to put most of our energy on the western front , In this case, the gain outweighs the loss, please think again, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I agree with Yao Shizhong's opinion. My Great Deng can no longer fight. In recent years, the food and supplies accumulated by my Great Deng over the years have been exhausted. If we continue to fight Han at this time, our country will definitely be dragged down. Please think twice, Your Majesty." Jiang Wan also persuaded that now Cai Feng has slowly handed over most of the government affairs to him, and he is very clear about the current situation of Deng Guo, and there is no food to support Deng Guo again. Beat down.

Deng Sheng pondered for a while, and felt that what they said was quite reasonable, but he was really unwilling to return Wuguan like this.

Seeing that Deng Sheng was silent, Cui Hao also knew that Deng Sheng was not willing to return Wuguan to Han, so he said: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is definitely not willing to return Wuguan to Deng. To be honest, my minister I am not reconciled to waiting, but the current situation is that if our country continues to occupy Wuguan, Han will definitely not let it go, and it will definitely have an impact on our country's next strategy. On the contrary, as long as my country returns Wuguan, Han will Only when you have peace of mind can you rest and recuperate with peace of mind, and you will not go to war again."

Deng Sheng sighed, and said: "Since that's the case, let's leave it to the ministers and the prime minister at this time."

"Here!"

In the following time, led by Cai Feng, the officials of Deng Guo started negotiations with Zhao Xin, but Cai Feng was just putting on a show, and the main thing was Cui Hao and the others.

After half a month of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached that Deng would return 30 prisoners of the Han army, including Wuguan and Chen Lin, while Han would need to compensate Deng [-] shi, [-] gold, [-] horses and The remaining [-] relatives of the Han army prisoners, including Song Guang and Wang Ce.

After the Han army sent people and supplies to Wuguan, Deng Jun began to withdraw from Wuguan, and the Battle of Deng Han was completely over.

The first battle in Xixian County attracted the attention of people all over the world. Everyone thought that Deng Guo would be defeated, but they did not expect that Deng Guo not only did not lose, but also wiped out 20 Han troops. It is really incredible. The rise of Deng Guo has been unstoppable , when the news of the annihilation of the 20 army of the Han State spread, Zhao Guo and Wei Guo stepped up their offensives, and Qin Guo has also calmed down the Qiang people at this moment, and assembled troops and horses to prepare to attack the Han State. The situation of the Han State is very critical , This is why the Han Congress agreed to send the [-] relatives of the Han army captives to Deng Guo, and they couldn't wait any longer.

The 10,000 relatives of the Han army, including men, women, old and children, totaled 15+ people, and Deng Guo immediately made up for the losses in the Battle of Xixian, bringing Deng's military strength back to [-].

Wancheng Palace
At this time, Deng Sheng was writing vigorously on the desk, and on the top of the cloth were written four big characters, three provinces and six parts.

That's right, Deng Sheng intends to follow the example of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and set up three provinces and six departments. With the rise of Deng's reputation, talents from all over the world flock to Deng. At the same time, Deng Sheng has obtained a large number of top talents through the summoning system. Today's Deng State's official system It can't meet the current needs at all, and reform is imperative. Looking at the history of China, apart from the later celestial dynasties, only the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Sui and Tang dynasties is the most suitable. The system of the celestial dynasty is suitable for democracy, but in today's era, democracy It is nonsense at all. People nowadays have very limited education and do not understand what democracy is at all. Moreover, in times of war, what is needed is a centralized monarch to centralize power. Besides, Deng Sheng also believes that no emperor will be so stupid Handed over the power.

The three provinces and six departments are Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of War, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Industry. Responsible for execution, with a clear division of labor, and can ensure that power will not be concentrated in the hands of one person.

The Ministry of Shangshu is in charge of six ministries, and the Ministry of Officials is the organ that manages civilian officials; the Ministry of Households is in charge of the national territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters; The five ceremonies are used; the Ministry of War is in charge of the national military guards, military officers, and succinct decrees; the Ministry of Punishment is the agency in charge of the national penalty decree and the review of criminal names; the Ministry of Industry is the agency that manages the country's engineering affairs. Subordination and close connection are conducive to the centralization of power by the monarch.
