Chapter 10 Deng Chu's Alliance
Chapter 10: Deng Chu forms an alliance
Cui Hao said: "Your Majesty, since the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chu State has regarded Han State as its biggest opponent. When it was besieged at Gaixia, Chu State suffered great humiliation and has been hostile to Han State for many years. Shu State is supported by Chu State in the south. A chess piece to contain the Han Kingdom, now my Great Deng and the Han Kingdom have torn their skins, and our country is adjacent to Wuguan, the gateway of the Han Kingdom, so the Chu Kingdom intends to support our country as it supported the Shu Kingdom back then, so that our country can play a role in containing the Han Kingdom effect."

Everyone is a smart person, and they understand it as soon as they hear it. Although Chu and Han are no longer bordering each other, the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han has not come to an end. If it is not Qin, it was built by the descendants of the Qin Dynasty. The capital of the country plans to send people to form an alliance with Qin, but it has been more than 200 years since Qin died, and most of the enmity has disappeared. The struggle for hegemony among the countries is all about interests. If possible, Qin and Chu can still come together, just like Qi In China, the founding king of Qi was Han Xin, who was the biggest pusher behind the siege of Gaixia and the pioneer of Chu-Han struggle for hegemony. When Han Xin destroyed Qi and was named King of Qi, after Xiang Yu broke through from Gaixia, Liu Bang was afraid that Xiang Yu would once again march into the Central Plains Since then, Juantu ordered Han Xin to garrison Qi, and Qi was established in this way. Although the ancestors of Qi and Chu were deadly enemies, Qi and Chu have not come together today.

Deng Sheng also felt that Cui Hao's deduction was very reasonable, and said, "Cui Qing, what should I do?"

Cui Hao smiled and said, "My lord, even if the state of Chu doesn't send people, the ministers are planning to speak to your lord. If we form an alliance with the state of Chu, the next target of our country is the state of Jing, which borders on the states of Wu and Xiang. Xiang is nothing to worry about, if we can form an alliance with Chu, please ask Chu to suppress Wu, and our country and Jing should take what we need."

The State of Jing occupies Jiangxia and Nanjun counties, and Jiangxia is adjacent to the Lujiang River of the State of Wu. If the State of Deng wanted to take over the State of Jing, the State of Wu would definitely not agree. To be honest, if the State of Chu had not been fighting against the State of Wu in the north, the State of Wu would have destroyed Jing and the State of Wu long ago. Hunan.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "In that case, I will invite the envoy of Chu to come tomorrow morning."

"Here!"

On the second day, Jingyang Hall

Deng Shengsheng was sitting in the hall, and saw a middle-aged man walking in, wearing an official Chu uniform, bowed his hands to Deng Sheng and said, "Tao Shao, the doctor of the Chu Kingdom, has seen King Deng."

"Chu envoys don't need to be polite!" Deng Sheng said, and at the same time, Deng Sheng also asked the system to perform a four-dimensional inspection on Tao Shao.

"Tao Shao, force: 52, commander: 50, intelligence: 92, politics: 91" the ability is not bad, Chu State is worthy of being a powerful country in the world, and any envoy is no worse than the prime minister of Deng State, Deng Sheng thought.

Tao Shao: "My king learned that the king has ascended the throne, so he specially sent his subordinates to congratulate him, and wish the king a long life."

Everyone carried the sedan chairs. Although he knew that the other party was just saying compliments, Deng Sheng was still very happy, saying: "The king of Chu has a heart, the country of Chu is a big country, and when he learned that the widow is enthroned, he sent an envoy to travel thousands of miles. I am very grateful, the envoy might as well stay in Wancheng for a little longer, and let the widow entertain me well, and when the envoy returns to Chu, the widow will definitely offer a rich gift, and ask the envoy to present it to the king of Chu on his behalf."

After Tao Shao expressed his gratitude, he said: "My Majesty's heart, I will tell my king the truth, and I will not hide it from my Majesty. I am here this time because of my king's order to conclude an alliance with your country. "

Deng Sheng remained calm, thinking in his heart, a good show is coming, so he gave Cai Feng a wink.

Cai Feng understood, so he said to Tao Shao: "Doctor Tao, I don't know what the King of Chu means? We must know that our country has never had any contact with Chu, and the dispute between Chu and Han came from history. Since the founding of our country, we have only Han If our country forms an alliance with your country, won't it anger the Han country?"

Tao Shao smiled, he knew that things were not that easy, he was negotiating conditions.

Before Tao Shao came, he had inquired into the situation of Deng Guo very clearly. He knew that one person was Deng Guo’s prime minister, Cai Feng, who was an important figure in Deng Guo. At the time of Deng Guoguo's funeral, the army invaded. How can there be an ally? Deng and Han have been friends for more than two hundred years, but they have attracted the army of Han. After my king learned about it, I feel deeply sorry. Han has no allies for your country. Why should the Prime Minister worry about it? The Chu State has always treated its allies with sincerity, as you can see from the Chen State and the Shu State."

"Of course we know the sincerity of the Chu State towards its allies, but our country is adjacent to the Han State. If the Han State learns that our country has formed an alliance with your country, it may become angry with embarrassment, and the army will be overwhelming, so what should we do?" At this time, Cui Hao came out and said.

Tao Shao looked at Cui Hao with a smile, wondering who this is. He had analyzed all the characters in Deng Guochao Hall in detail, but there was no such person, so he said, "I don't know who it is?"

"Deng Guocan rode Cui Hao and met the messenger." Cui Hao replied.

Tao Shao smiled and said: "Cui Cancheng is being polite. I naturally know what Cui Cancheng is worried about. However, even if your country does not form an alliance with Chu, do you think Han will not attack Deng again? Now Deng Han You have already torn your face, how can Han have any scruples?"

Cui Hao nodded, thinking: It seems that Tao Shao came prepared.

Cui Hao: "The envoy's words are reasonable, and I also know that the reason why your country wants to form an alliance with my country Deng is nothing more than because of the position of my country Deng, and I hope that my country Deng can contain the country of Han, but our country and your country are not the same. There is no border, and the distance is far away. Once our country forms an alliance with your country, if the Han country sends troops to come, how can your country help us?" In the confrontation between a few words, Cui Hao knew that the other party was a smart person, so he also No longer beating around the bush, just going straight to the point.

In fact, Tao Shao is also a straightforward person. After talking about it for so long, it should be serious.

Tao Shao smiled and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. Although Han is strong, it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Both Qin and Shu have indissoluble hatred with Han. my country and Zhao are close relatives. If Han dares to invade Your country, my king will use all he has to ask Zhao to send troops, so why do you worry about it?"

Cui Hao smiled and said: "Of course we know your sincerity, but since your country hopes that Deng will play a role in containing Han, but our strength is weak, and we may lose to the King of Chu."

"Oh, then what is your country's plan?" Cui Hao had already said so much, and Tao Shao naturally knew that Deng Guo still had a condition, and I am afraid that this is the most important condition of Deng Guo.

Cui Hao smiled and said: "Jing Kingdom has been invading the southern part of our country for many years. Although the former Lord Wuzhuang King and my king defeated Jing country many times, the centipede is dead but not stiff. My king is determined to completely solve the hidden dangers in the south. , but I am worried that the Wu Congress will interfere."

Jing Guo, Tao Shao was a little shocked. He originally thought that Cui Hao would ask Chu State to donate some food, grass and military equipment. He didn’t expect Deng Guo’s appetite to be so big that he actually wanted Jing Guo. Take action to contain the state of Wu, but this is not something that cannot be agreed. Before he came, Xiang Ju, the king of Chu, had told him that as long as the interests of the state of Chu were not harmed, everything could be compromised. The state of Jing does not border on the state of Chu. It is not an ally of Chu State. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Besides, Deng State destroyed Jing State, strengthened its strength, and can better deal with Han State. It is still good for Chu State, and Chu State All the country has to do is to contain the country of Wu, and there will be a lot of room for maneuvering, and the country of Chu will not suffer any losses.

Tao Shao nodded and said: "Your Excellency, I already know that our country and Wu State are hostile to each other. Over the years, disputes have continued. Our country has always deployed heavy troops in Guangling and Huainan. It is no problem to contain Wu State. Your country can Take Jing Guo lightly."

When you're done, Cui Hao smiled and saluted Deng Sheng.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, then I have agreed to this covenant. When the envoy returns to Chu, I will send an envoy to go to Chu with your envoy." Now that everything has been negotiated, Deng Sheng is also very refreshing.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

After Tao Shao stayed in Wancheng for a few days, he set off to return to Chu State. He was accompanied by an envoy sent by Deng Sheng, Taichang Deng Yong.
