Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 276
Chapter 275: Deploying troops and dispatching generals
In order to strengthen his strength, and to obtain hegemony points as soon as possible, which can be used to fill a gap in the guards, Deng Sheng intends to attack Yue.

State of Yue, surnamed Zhao, whose ancestor was Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. At the end of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo ruled one side in the south of Lingnan. After Zhao Tuo's death, the Nanyue Kingdom was divided into Nanguo and Yueguo with Cangwu and the South China Sea as boundaries.

The State of Yue occupies 21 counties in the two counties of Nanhai and Kuaiji. Although there are not many cities in the country, the territory is vast and the terrain is mostly hilly and mountainous. There are 18 households, more than [-] people, and [-] soldiers in the country. However, due to the loss of some soldiers and horses in Yuzhang in the past few years, the current domestic soldiers and horses are estimated to be around [-]. These soldiers and horses are divided into two parts. The South China Sea is mainly used to guard against the southern kingdom. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, there are many mountain people in the Yue Kingdom, and the people are tough, rebellious, and extremely powerful. He was the enterprising general who led the troops back then.

These are all the information that Ming Jing worked so hard to search for. Deng Sheng passed them on to Yue Fei and others. After everyone read them, the information returned to Deng Sheng.

"Let's talk about it, if you want to send troops, how much should you send, and how should you fight?" Deng Sheng looked at the crowd and said.

Everyone looked at each other, and after nodding to each other, Yue Fei came out and said: "My lord, I think that if you want to conquer Yuedi, you must have an army of 20!"

"A 20 army? Don't you think too highly of Yue? You must know that Yue has only 5 troops. Is it possible that every member of the Vietnamese army can fight four with one?" Deng Sheng was surprised when he heard Yue Fei's words. Yue was just a small country. , the strength is limited, the whole country only has 20 soldiers and horses, do you need to send 19 troops?This is four times the size of the Vietnamese army. You must know that only [-] were used to destroy Wu. Is it possible that the Yue State is stronger than the Wu State?

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if we were to fight the Vietnamese army in Yuzhang or Wu County, of course it would not take 20 men, and even one guard and horse would suffice. The people are tough and rebellious, and you are very good at mountain warfare. In terms of attacking the city, our army is not afraid of the people in the world, but in the mountain warfare with the Vietnamese army in Vietnam, it is difficult to suppress the Vietnamese army without 20 people."

The Vietnamese army is good at mountain warfare. If fighting in the mountains, a thousand Vietnamese troops can contain twice or even several times the Deng army, so Yue Fei's proposal to send 20 troops is not an exaggeration.

Deng Sheng frowned, hesitating for a while. Originally, he was a country of Yue, and Deng could send one guard at random. Two guards at most could solve the problem, but now it cost 20 and four guards. As expected by Deng Sheng, although the country of Deng has recovered well these years, it is still a bit difficult to support a war of 20 people.

"Jiang Qing, can the money and food in the national treasury support 20 troops?" Although it was a bit difficult, Deng Sheng still wanted to fight, so he surrendered his eyes to Minister Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan thought for a while, and said: "It is really difficult to support such a big war with the current state treasury!" Jiang Wan's words were like pouring cold water on Deng Sheng, just as Deng Sheng was about to sigh and give up this time's plan. At that time, Jiang Wan said again: "However, the autumn harvest is coming soon. With this batch of autumn grain in storage, as long as the war can end within half a year, the treasury can still support it."

"Huh..." Deng Sheng's mood was like riding a roller coaster. After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Deng Sheng set his sights on Yue Fei again. Although Jiang Wan could guarantee that Deng Guo could support this battle, the time was only half a year. That is to say, if the State of Deng cannot solve the State of Yue within half a year, then this time the attack on Yue will only be a waste of time and money.

Yue Fei met his gaze, thought about it carefully, and said: "If you can defeat the main force of the Yue army in the battle of Shanyin, I am sure to finish the Yue country within half a year!"

Deng Sheng smiled. With Yue Fei's guarantee, Deng Sheng felt more at ease. As for whether Deng Jun could break through Shanyin in World War I as Yue Fei expected, Deng Sheng was not worried at all. The quality of the generals of the army is really unsightly, at least not enough in front of many famous generals in Deng Guo.

"Since this is the case, this matter has been settled. It is already September, and it is obviously inappropriate to launch a war. Therefore, I decided to launch an offensive against Yue after the beginning of spring next year, but this war must end before August." Deng Sheng said solemnly, it was already February when troops were dispatched in spring, and Deng Sheng wanted to end the battle before August, which was exactly half a year. There was not only the problem of Deng's national strength, but also a more important reason was that entering the In August, Yuedi will enter the rainy season, and the roads will be muddy and difficult to walk. For Deng Jun who has no experience in mountain warfare, it will be worse. That's why Deng Sheng will force the war to end before August.

Although it was difficult, Yue Fei was not afraid of challenges, so he nodded and said, "Here!"

After the discussion, Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, and Yang Yanzhao returned to the General Governor's Mansion. Now the number and time of dispatching troops have been fixed, but there is no fixed number of troops to be dispatched, so Yue Fei needs to discuss with Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao, Chang Yuchun discuss it.

"General Chang, General Yang, you also understand what the king means. This time, the entire Yue country is to be taken, and the time is limited. What do you think?" In the meeting hall of the general's governor's mansion.Yue Fei said to Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao thought for a while, and said: "General, the country of Yue should not be underestimated, and this time our time is limited, so the last general means to take our army's strongest Huyiwei, Yingyangwei, Jinwuwei and Nu Send the four troops of Jiaowei."

Yang Yanzhao is a person who seeks stability, and this time the difficulty is not small, so Yang Yanzhao believes that Deng Guo should not have any reservations, and directly sends Yingyangwei, Huyiwei, Jinwuwei, and Nujiaowei. The Tiger Wing Guards are the trump card guards on the northern line of Deng Guo, and the Jin Wu Guards are also experienced in hundreds of battles. As for the Nu Jiao Guards, they are also indispensable, because the navy is indispensable to attack Shanyin.

For Yang Yanzhao's proposal, Yue Fei agrees with it in his heart. After all, this battle must not only be played beautifully, but also need to be resolved quickly, so it is necessary to use the best trump card.

But Chang Yuchun didn't think so, he came out and said: "General, there will be different opinions in the end!"

"Oh?" Yue Fei was a little stunned, Yang Yanzhao's plan was the safest, why did Chang Yuchun disagree?So he asked, "Then I don't know what opinion General Chang has?"

Chang Yuchun said: "It is indeed the safest way to mobilize the Yingyang Guard and the Tiger Wing Guard, but now hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops are in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on."

After hearing this, Yue Fei frowned. This is a big problem. Yingyangwei and Huyiwei have heavy tasks on the northern front. They need to guard against the Zhao army in the Central Plains. They cannot be transferred unless it is absolutely necessary, but if they are not transferred For these two troops, other troops may not be able to guarantee time.

Chang Yuchun also saw Yue Fei's concerns, and said: "General, in fact, over the years, the guards have also improved a lot, and there is no need to transfer Tiger Wing Guards and Ying Yang Guards. , Shence Guard to replace Ying Yang Guard and Tiger Wing Guard."

Shenwuwei and Shencewei are newly formed guards in Deng Guo in the past two years. They have never been on the battlefield. Can they survive such a heavy task?
Yue Fei also raised questions in this regard, saying: "Although the Shenwuwei and the Shencewei are good, but the time for this battle is limited, and the Shenwuwei and the Shencewei have never been on the battlefield, can they be competent?" Yang Yanzhao on the side also had this question.

Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "General, don't worry, many generals of Shenwuwei and Shencewei are experienced generals, besides, it is also a good choice to use Yue Kingdom to train Shenwuwei and Shencewei. After all, it is better to fight the weaker country of Yue in the first battle than to fight directly with a strong country like Qin Zhao in the future."
