Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 335 The State of Chu Is Ready to Move

Chapter 334: The Chu Kingdom Is Ready to Move

The battle between Qin and Zhao can be said to have touched the hearts of people all over the world. Not only Deng Guo laid out means for this, but even the remaining Chu State was unwilling to lag behind. However, before Chu State took any action, it sent people to Wancheng as soon as possible To test Deng Guo's attitude, this is exactly what Deng Guo wants. After setting up a strategy of waiting for changes and waiting for opportunities, Deng Guo also intends to let Chu Guo test Zhao Guo, but he has been suffering from not knowing how to speak. , Now that Chu State sent people here, it saved a lot of effort.

Regarding Chu State’s temptation, Deng Sheng said that you should do it instead of being cowardly, and he will support you behind. Chu State has been committed to restoring its former great power status, but in the current world, Chu State can no longer rely on its own strength. Yes, so the state of Chu needs the support of the state of Deng. Without the state of Deng, the state of Chu would never dare to touch Zhao’s tiger’s beard. The country does not need to be too anxious to send troops, and wait until the beginning of next year, when the battle between Qin and Zhao is in a state of anxiety.

With the support of Deng Guo, Chu State began to mobilize troops. However, since the restoration of the country, Chu State only occupied Pengcheng County and Xiapi County, and its strength was not strong. The total force was about [-]. What they have to face is Zhao Guo, the most powerful country in the world, which claims to have millions of soldiers, so every Chu person's heart is very heavy.

Pengcheng Palace, Overlord Hall, King Xiang Kuang of Chu was sitting on the throne, and General Zhang Di of Chu State reported the plan of dispatching troops to Xiang Kuang at His Royal Highness.

"According to Deng Guo's instructions, Deng Guo will fully support our country's dispatch of troops this time, and the time will be set after the beginning of spring, but the specific time will have to wait for the anxiety between Qin and Zhao to be discussed." Zhang Di said that the strength of Chu State is weak. Only by fishing in such troubled waters can things be done. Otherwise, once they meet with the main force of Zhao, the Chu army may collapse in an instant, so the timing must be grasped very accurately.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom in the Overlord's Hall had no problem with timing, so Xiang Kuang signaled Zhang Di to continue.

"Our country will do our best to send troops this time, so I plan to lead an army of [-] to go out, and our goal this time is to get rid of Zhao's siege to our two hometowns, Pei County and Guangling County. "Capturing Pei County and Guangling County is the purpose of this dispatch of troops. For a long time, Pengcheng County and Xiapi County of Chu State, except for the border with Jiujiang County of Deng State in the south, have been surrounded by Zhao State in three directions from east to west. , This situation is very dangerous for Chu State, so capturing Pei County and Guangling County is the top priority of Chu State right now.

Of course, based on the current strength of Chu State, it is very difficult to win Pei County and Guangling County, so Deng State's support is urgently needed. When necessary, Deng State needs to send troops to help, otherwise the Chu army His strength is simply as difficult as reaching the sky.

This time's troop dispatch is tantamount to taking chestnuts from the fire. Its boldness and difficulty of success far surpass the Qin army's raid on Shangdang. However, it cannot be denied that this is the best opportunity for Chu since its restoration. I don't know what year and month it will be until the next time, so even though there are thousands of difficulties, the monarchs and ministers of Chu Kingdom still have to give it a go.

Sitting on the throne, Xiang Kuang had no objection to Zhang Di's plan, so he nodded and said, "General, what can I do for you?" The prestige in the new state of Chu is much higher than that of Chu King Xiang Kuang and Prime Minister Chen Ding. If Zhang Di successfully recovers Pei County and Guangling County, then Zhang Di's prestige will reach its peak. It would be very difficult to suppress it any more, so Xiang Kuang proposed what he wanted to do to prevent Zhang Di from further embarrassing him.

Zhang Di may have been a political novice in the past, but after so many years of fighting with Xiang Kuang and Chen Ding, Zhang Di has improved a lot. He understands that Xiang Kuang and Chen Ding are very afraid of him, and the reason why he will live Up to now, all because of the immortal feats he made during the restoration of the Chu state and the military power in his hands, Zhang Di has begun to place family children and cronies into the army over the years to completely control the military power.

Zhang Di is already over fifty years old. As he grows older, Zhang Di has to think about the affairs behind him, so this time he will strongly advocate taking advantage of the Qin-Zhao War to send troops to recover Pei County and Guangling County. Using this time's meritorious service, let his prestige go further, so that his family can continue to control the military power, so as to prevent the family from being liquidated after his death.

As for usurping the throne of Chu State, Zhang Di never thought about it. It was not because Zhang Di was so loyal to the Xiang family, but Zhang Di had self-knowledge. In Chu State, the Xiang family had unparalleled prestige. It can be replaced if it is replaced, and Zhang Di's family is not a traditional aristocrat of Chu State. The reason why the Zhang family has today's status is all due to Zhang Di's support for Xiang Kuang and the restoration of Chu State. These alone are not enough to support Zhang Di to usurp the throne of Chu, so Zhang Di can only do his best to preserve the military power in his hands, so that the Zhang family can continue to have a detached position.

And Xiang Kuang's thoughts are also clear to Zhang Di, but Zhang Di did not reject Xiang Kuang. After all, some things cannot be overdone. In addition, it is too difficult to send troops this time, and it is easy to fail. If Zhang Di takes everything , the responsibility for the defeat in the future will be on him, which will definitely shake Zhang Di's position, so Zhang Di can't wish for Xiang Kuang's help to resist the thunder, so he said: "This time the army is dispatched, the king and the princes of the court will definitely shake Zhang Di's position." What we have to do is to fully support the minister's actions, provide enough food, grass and military resources, and at the same time maintain contact with Deng, and if the battle goes wrong, immediately send people to Deng for help and ask Deng to send troops to reverse the defeat."

Xiang Kuang nodded. He also knew that there was not much he could do. After all, leading troops to fight on the battlefield was Zhang Di's forte. He didn't understand, but if he could do this, Xiang Kuang's goal would be achieved.

The Shangdang confrontation between Qin and Zhao, Deng Chu ready to move, Qin's action in this midwinter instantly involved all countries, and under this weird situation, the whole world ushered in the 21st year of Qianyuan.

This is the No.20 three years since Deng Sheng ascended the throne. For Deng Sheng who is about to enter 40 years old, it is a huge watershed, because after entering 40 years old, Deng Sheng has passed the prime of life, In this era when the average age is less than 50 years old, Deng Sheng does not know how long he can last, so the increase in age makes Deng Sheng feel urgent.

He ascended the throne of Deng at the age of 16. More than 20 years have passed. Deng Sheng's achievements can be said to be impressive. Deng Sheng is worthy of the ancestors of the Deng Kingdom. Deng Sheng, what he thinks and thinks in his heart is to rule the world, but time flies, and there is not much time left for Deng Sheng in life, so this time the battle between Qin and Zhao is an opportunity. Deng Sheng has made up his mind, the battle between Qin and Zhao No matter what the outcome is, Deng needs to form an alliance with Qin, because only Deng and Qin cooperate sincerely to have a chance to defeat the mighty Zhao. As for the future relationship between Deng and Qin, we need to make a conclusion after defeating Zhao.

After the new year, Deng Sheng personally held a big wedding for Deng Han and Deng Yu. Deng Han married the granddaughter of the late Minister of Rites Gong Yoo, and Deng Yu married the youngest daughter of the Minister of Criminal Justice Fan Zhongyan. Those who have come down, originally planned to have a big wedding last year, but Deng Sheng suddenly disrupted the plan, so it was delayed until this year.

After the big marriage, Deng Han and Deng Yu also became officials. Although they followed Yue Fei to participate in the war against Yue Fei, they just followed Yue Fei to practice and did not formally become officials. But this time the young tiger came out. The first battle with Deng Yu and Deng Yu was the General's Dudu's Mansion. They would stay in the General's Dudu's Mansion for a period of time, and then Deng Sheng would decide where to go based on their performance.

In February of the 21st year of Qianyuan, the two armies of Qin and Zhao, who had been at odds for a long time, finally began to take action. Although the wind and snow in the north had not yet melted, this did not hinder the attack of the Qin army. , weigh Xin Zhao's strength.
