Chapter 475: Monarchs and Ministers Discuss Zhao Jun

The Zhao army finally retreated. In October of the 23rd year of Qianyuan, before the severe winter, Li Rubing led the main force of the Zhao army to withdraw from the Central Plains and return to Hebei, leaving only some elites to guard the Central Plains. The cloud of a great war dissipated instantly. All Yue Fei was very happy. After all, although he was not afraid of Li Rubing, it was not the time to start the war, so it was better not to fight.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, in October, after Yue Fei left Yongping Guard to garrison Guangling County, he led his guards all the way south and returned directly to Wancheng. He needed to plead guilty to Deng Sheng. The way of monarch and minister has been established, even though Yue Fei knows it, maybe Deng Sheng doesn't care about it, but he still needs to have the attitude he should have.

"My minister, Yue Fei, asks the king to come down!" In the Qianyang Palace, Yue Fei knelt at the bottom of his highness, bowed his head and pleaded guilty to Deng Sheng: "It is disrespectful for me to accept the royal family of Chu without the king's edict, and I ask the king to come down!" !"

Seeing this, Deng Sheng was quite helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Why did Yue Qing do this? Didn't the widow say that? Yue Qing did the right thing. Accepting the royal family of Chu is of great help to my Da Deng to stabilize Guangling County. , and will be outside, the military orders are not accepted, Yue Qing not only has no faults, but also merits."

But Yue Fei didn't think so. Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. Although what I have done is beneficial to Deng Deng, it is a shame that I accept his royal family without His Majesty's permission." For the crime of disrespect, if your majesty takes into account your minister’s achievements in the past and refuses to commit the crime, what will happen if others do the same in the future? Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own laws, and the laws of the country are not merciful, so I ask your majesty to punish you!"

Deng Sheng saw that Yue Fei was already determined to take some responsibility for his crimes, and Deng Sheng also knew what Yue Fei was thinking, so he thought about it, and said awkwardly: "In this case, let Yue Qing ask, this time Yue Fei The widow will not give any rewards for the merits of Guangling County, and it will be considered that the merits and demerits will be offset, and the salary will be fined for three months to imitate others, I wonder what Yue Qing thinks?"

"Your Majesty, this..." Yue Fei looked at Deng Sheng in disbelief. Isn't this punishment too light?Yue Fei didn't take the credit for Guangling County at all. To put it bluntly, if you take out any of the meritorious service Yue Fei has made over the years, it would be a complete blow to Guangling County. Besides, Yue Fei is already a marquis, and a Extremely human minister, although there are dukes above the marquis, except for a few veterans who have passed away, no one in the country of Deng has ever been granted the title. Even Deng Sheng's sons are just marquises. That's all, Yue Fei guessed in his mind that Deng Sheng did this to prepare for the unification of the world in the future, lest there be no rewards. It's just a reward of some property, and it doesn't have much influence on Yue Fei.

As for the three-month penalty, it is even more trivial. Yue Fei has received countless rewards over the years, not to mention the three-month penalty. The punishment is really too light, it is no longer as simple as taking it lightly, it is simply a one-off, and it can't even make a wave, so Yue Fei asked to continue to plead guilty, but was soon interrupted by Deng Sheng.

"Yue Qing doesn't need to say more, I have made up my mind, can I still not know who Yue Qing is?" Seeing Yue Fei's appearance, Deng Sheng didn't know what Yue Fei wanted to do, so he opened his mouth and interrupted him .

"Here! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Seeing this, Yue Fei knew that this was Deng Sheng's trust and preference for him. Confused, thank Deng Sheng immediately.

Deng Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Yue Fei: "Yue Qing, although he didn't fight Zhao Jun this time when he took Guangling County, I believe that Yue Qing has a more thorough understanding of Zhao Jun, so why don't you fight with Zhao Jun?" Let me tell you, what is the strength of the Zhao army without Xin Zhao?"

Yue Fei thought for a while and said: "Back to the king, the current Zhao army under the command of Li Rubing, although not as invincible and invincible as in Zhao Xin's period, is much stronger than Zhang Chuan's period, at least internally more united This time, Li Rubing was able to command a group of veterans in the Zhao army as a rising star, which shows that Li Rubing is an extraordinary man. You must know that these people are all proud soldiers left by Xin Zhao, even if Zhang Chuan has followed Xin Zhao for decades. Even the old generals of our country failed to convince them, but Li Rubing did it, but he is still a little immature now, given time, Li Rubing will definitely be my great enemy!"

"It's okay, it's just Li Rubing. I don't pay attention to it. What I value most is how is Zhao Jun's combat power? After twists and turns, Zhao's army is still in turmoil. Although Li Rubing has consolidated, I believe Zhao Jun's strength will definitely be affected." Deng Sheng said, Deng Sheng knew how Li Rubing's strength was, at first he was only 97 commander-in-chief, but it seems to have risen to 98 recently, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is not 100 like Xin Zhao. Deng Sheng is not afraid of the terrifying existence of such a terrifying existence. After all, Deng Guo now has many famous generals who command 97 or above.

How powerful was the Zhao army under the command of Zhao Xin back then, with almost no defeats. The 30 barbarian army slaughtered half of them at once. The troops are evenly matched, but Deng Sheng is very self-aware. There are at least 20 recruits in Deng's country who have never been to the battlefield. In a real fight, the Deng army will suffer the most. Even if they can win in the end, it may be a miserable victory.

"It has some influence!" Yue Fei nodded and said, "This can be seen from Zhao Jun's annihilation of Chu this time, although it took less than three months for Zhao Jun to destroy Chu this time, It seems that the speed of marching was very fast, but at that time Chu State had already fallen into division, and the elite was scattered everywhere, and Pengcheng was isolated and helpless. However, under this situation, Li Rubing led an army of 30 for three months, which was very unreasonable. , I think, if Zhao Xin is the leader of the army this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Chu to survive for a month."

This is what Deng Sheng wants to hear. Now the general trend of the world has gradually become clear. The Three Kingdoms of Deng Zhaoqin, as the only three remaining countries after the struggle for hegemony, the ownership of the world in the future will also be determined from among the Three Kingdoms. Among the Three Kingdoms, Deng Guo has the greatest advantage, but it is not obvious. Zhao Guoming's strength is comparable to that of Deng Guoguo. The descent made Deng Sheng feel a little happy.

"By the way, after Yue Qing came back, did you visit Su Qing?" After talking about Zhao Jun's situation, Deng Sheng shifted the topic to another major event in Wancheng recently, that is, the four giants of the Deng court. Su Hong, one of the ministers of the Ministry of War, was seriously ill.

Yue Fei shook his head and said: "I came back in a hurry, and I haven't had time yet. My lord, I don't know what the imperial doctor said about Su Shangshu's condition? I remember that when I went to the expedition, Su Shangshu was still fine, why did he suddenly become seriously ill?" What about it?" It was the end of July when Yue Fei left, Su Hong was still in good health at that time, and his health was also very good, but now it has only been two months, why is he sick?
"Alas..." Deng Sheng sighed, and said: "A few days ago, Su Qing fell into the water unfortunately while traveling and contracted a cold. It was originally a trivial matter, but Su Qing is already over sixty years old after all, and her health is not as good as it should be. A long time ago, she had been ill for a long time, and it has been dragging on until now. The imperial doctor said that Su Qing might not be able to survive this winter. This is also my fault. Su Qing has long wanted to retire and return home. today!"

Speaking of this, apart from a trace of sadness in Deng Sheng's eyes, Su Hong was the first non-system person to follow Deng Sheng, and he has been working hard for many years. Su Hong can be said to have contributed to Deng's success. Deng Guo was about to embark on the broad road to unify the world, but Su Hong couldn't wait any longer.

For Su Hong, Deng Sheng is very grateful. When the country of Deng was in turmoil, a great talent like Su Hong resolutely chose to join the country of Deng, and since then he has been planning to destroy the country of Jing, making the country of Deng a powerful first step , More than 20 years have passed, and the past is like smoke.

Thinking of this, Deng Sheng couldn't help but feel a little worried. More than 20 years have passed, and most of the good officials and famous generals who were in their prime years are already old. Everyone is over half a hundred years old, Xue Rengui, Li Siye, Deng Qiang, Deng Ai, Zhang Liao, Li Xiucheng, Li Cunxiao and other famous generals are also over forty years old. Even Deng Sheng himself is in his early forties. Deng Sheng asked himself what he could do. I can hold on, but can these old ministers wait until the day when the world is unified?
