Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 31
Chapter 31: Oath to Cut the Thorns
In the Jingyang Palace, Deng Shengsheng sat on the throne. His Highness, civil and military officials gathered together. Deng Sheng's pro-government and wedding were only one month apart. In addition, it is for the candidates for this expedition.

Deng Sheng said with a serious expression: "Masters, the former king passed away unfortunately, and I was in charge of the Deng Kingdom in a weak year. For three years, I worked hard and walked on thin ice. Thanks to the support of the ministers, today's country is prosperous and the people are safe. But the southern Jingguo has always been a thief. Immortal, as early as the time of the previous kings, he invaded our country's borders many times. At the beginning of the widow's ascension to the throne, he took constant actions and tirelessly. It is really unbearable. The widow is determined to send troops to the country of Jing."

Everyone kept their bodies straight and looked serious, and they all knew that the main event was coming.

Deng Sheng looked at the crowd and continued: "This time, the widow and the ministers discussed and decided to send [-] troops, with Yue Fei as the commander, Yang Yanzhao as the deputy commander, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, Pound, Li Xiucheng, Song Guang, and Wang Ce are the generals, and Su Hong, Zhang Bin, and Yao Guangxiao are the military advisers. Yue Fei has full authority to decide this battle, and there is no need to report any incidents."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The people who got the roll call came out one after another, and they were all overjoyed, especially Yue Fei. He was very grateful for Deng Sheng's full decentralization of power. Sheng Daen.

In March of the first year of Qianyuan, Yue Fei set off to fight in Wancheng, and 15 troops marched to Xinye, claiming to be [-], and went straight to Fancheng.

Jingguo Jiangling
Just three days after Yue Fei swore to leave for the expedition, Jing Guo had already received the news, King Jing Wang Yao hurriedly summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

King Jing's family was originally a noble family in South Korea during the Warring States Period. When Qin destroyed South Korea, they migrated from South Korea to Jiangling. When Chu and Han were fighting, they helped Han King Liu Bang build a city in Xiangshui. After the war, Liu Bang made his patriarch the king of Jing, enfeoffed Nanjun and Jiangxia counties, and his capital Xiangyang.

King Jing's Palace, King Jing Wang Yao sits on the throne. Wang Yao is fifty-five years old this year. He has passed the age of knowing his destiny. His face is pale. It looks like a person with a weak body. , especially in the 13th year of Deng Wangan and the first year of Deng Wangsheng's two big defeats in Xinye City, which dealt a heavy blow to his body. Now he basically ignores the government and has been hiding in the harem to recuperate. All the monsters and monsters ran out, the court was full of smog, and the princes fought against each other in order to reserve positions, making the entire Jing Kingdom look like the sun was setting.

Now that Deng Guo's army is coming to attack, Wang Yao can no longer hide in the harem, and he has to deal with such things personally.

"Cough, cough, cough... Zhuqing, Deng's 15 troops are coming to attack, is there any countermeasure?" Wang Yao asked with a pale face.

Everyone looked at each other, bowed their heads and did not speak. Seeing this scene, Wang Yao felt sad. Jing Guo was in his hands, and it was gradually declining. Especially in the past few years, Jing Guo was defeated repeatedly, and the domestic elites were completely lost. The reason is that he was forced to hide in the deep palace to recuperate. He originally hoped that his sons could help him, but he didn't expect that they were all fighting to save positions, and now there was no one available in the huge Jing Kingdom.

"My Majesty, I think that our country is not yet at the end of its rope, and we still have the strength to fight." At this time, Cai Mao, the supreme commander of the Jing Kingdom, came out and said that after the Battle of Xinye, Cai Mao lost [-] yuan. With five thousand elites from the Jing Kingdom, Wang Yao dismissed him as a general. But now that Deng Guo’s army is suppressing the border, Jing Guo has no one to use, and considering the influence of the Cai clan in Jing Guo, Wang Yao reinstated Cai Maoguan and continued to lead. Jing Guo soldiers and horses.

"What's the great general's strategy? Tell me quickly." Wang Yao asked Cai Mao as if he had grasped the last straw.

Cai Maodao: "Your Majesty, although the State of Deng claims to have an army of 15, I believe that Deng's army will never exceed [-], while our country still has [-] troops. It's not a problem. If Deng Jun wants to attack our Dajing, there are nothing more than two roads. One is to go south from Xinye and go straight to Jiangling, and the other is to attack Jiangxia. To the north of Jiangling, there are two strong cities, Fancheng and Xiangyang. It is absolutely impossible for Deng Jun to cross the Han River and invade Jiangling. Although Jiangxia is not dangerous to defend, Xiling and Xiakou are extremely strong. As long as these two places are defended, no matter how many cities Jiangxia loses, as long as they wait Deng's army retreated, and they could recover one by one. Deng's successive battles in recent years, although they all ended in victory, must have suffered a lot of losses. Stick to it, as time goes by, Deng Jun will definitely retreat, and in this way, we will be able to solve the danger of the Great Thorn."

"If that's the case, then this battle will be under the full command of the general. I hope the general can live up to everyone's expectations and repel the Deng army." Wang Yao was also determined when he heard Cai Mao's words, so he handed over the command of the army. For Cai Mao, he returned to the harem to continue recuperating.

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Jing Guo’s Prime Minister Kuai Yi, Chariot General Huang Tong, and Situ Pangyin gathered in the Cai Mansion. The world thought that Jing Guo was the master of the Wang family, but they didn’t know that Jing Guo’s military and political power began as early as Jing Guo moved its capital to Jiangling. It slowly fell into the hands of the four major families of Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang. The four major families, Cai, Huang Zhangbing, Kuai, and Pang Lizheng, have been in control of the state of Jing for decades.

Kuai Yi said: "Cai Mao, tell me the truth, are you sure you can stop Deng Jun this time?"

Cai Mao smiled wryly and said: "Prime Minister Kuai, to be honest, I really don't have much confidence in my heart. The achievements of Deng Jun in the past few years are too amazing. Even the invincible Han State was defeated by Deng Guo, not to mention I am a defeated general." At this point, Cai Mao's expression darkened, and he was really afraid of Deng Guo. Since he joined the army, he dared not say that he was victorious in every battle, but he was rarely defeated. The two major defeats were both at the hands of Deng Guo, which made him unable to summon up courage at all when facing Deng Guo. This time, if Jing Guo had not reached the moment of life and death, he would not be able to kill him. Will go to play against Deng Guo again.

When everyone heard this, their hearts turned cold and their expressions were depressed. Cai Mao can be said to be the person who is the best at leading troops in Jingguo, but now he actually said that he is not sure. Doesn't it mean that Jingguo is in danger this time?

Seeing the expressions of several people, Cai Mao knew that what he said just now was too shocking, so he quickly said: "But you don't have to worry, Fancheng and Xiangyang are strong cities, and it is not a problem to defend them. As long as Fancheng and Xiangyang are still there, Deng Jun will definitely not It may reach Jiangling."

"I hope so." Everyone was still very worried.
