Chapter 385 Deng Guo Stopped in Chenliu County

Chapter 384: Deng Guo stopped in Chenliu County

After defeating Zhao Jun, there was a very fierce debate within Deng Jun, whether to continue to go north, wait for an opportunity to capture Dongjun and Jiyin County, and push the border of Deng State to the Yellow River line, but there are two differences within Deng Jun The voice made it difficult for Yue Fei to make a decision for a while. Under the suggestion of the three major military advisers, Yue Fei sent a fast horse to Wancheng to deliver a letter, asking Deng Sheng to make a decision, and told the generals that no one could make a decision until Deng Sheng made a decision. Provoking trouble, frightened by Yue Fei's long-standing prestige, no one dared to make trouble.

After everyone left the big tent of the Chinese army, Chang Yuchun snorted coldly at Han Qing, then turned around and left. It fulfilled Deng Guo's grand plan and great wish to seize the Central Plains.

However, Han Qing thinks that his idea is the most suitable for Deng Guo's current situation. After all, Zhao Guo lost a hundred thousand troops and a few generals, but this is only one-tenth of Zhao Guo's strength. That's all, Zhao Guo's current apparent strength is still stronger than Deng Guo's. Steady and steady action is the most suitable path for Deng Guo. Blind advancement can only push Deng Guo into the abyss. The most feared thing in the game of great powers is impatience , this point has been vividly expressed in the Qi State at the beginning.

At the beginning, in order to strengthen its strength against Zhao State, Qi State destroyed Song State and Chu State successively in a short period of one or two years. Although this temporarily strengthened Qi State's apparent strength a lot, it buried a lot of hidden dangers. Qi State's destruction of Song and Chu was nothing but its own land, and it was not completely tamed. Therefore, in the most critical battle of Qi State, these hidden dangers suddenly broke out and sent Qi State away directly.

The current situation is very similar to that of the past. Although Deng Guo defeated Zhao Guo, it was only a battle, and it could not be a decisive factor. He was killed by Zhao Guofan.

However, because of this incident, Chang Yuchun was dissatisfied, which really made Han Qing feel uncomfortable. His position in Deng Guo was already very embarrassing. Qing has a very clear understanding that he is no better than Yue Fei. If Deng Guo really uses him at ease, he can definitely use him as the main general and lead a large army to fly with Yue Fei. It is not impossible, but Deng Sheng chose him to serve as Yue Fei's deputy general. The intention here is obvious, that is, Deng Sheng wants Han Qing to provide help to Deng Jun, but also does not want Han Qing to lead the army alone to complete the hidden danger. , after all, the old events of Qi State are still vivid in his mind.

"General Han, don't worry about it. General Chang is such a person. Just get used to it, and now General Chang still has some trouble getting around. After he calms down, he will naturally not be like this!" Chang Yuchun said to Han Qing Putting on the show, Xue Rengui came to Han Qing's side and comforted him.

Han Qing shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Actually, I don't blame General Chang. In fact, General Chang's idea is also for the good of Deng, but it is really too radical. Although Deng is strong, he is not strong enough to Those who crush Zhao Guo, even Zhao Guo's current strength is still higher than my Great Deng, only by fighting steadily can we win by surprise!"

Xue Rengui nodded. He agreed with Han Qing very much. He also disapproved of continuing to advance northward. It was a fluke that Deng Jun won this battle. Zhao Guo is not that weak. On the contrary, Zhao Guo is still very strong. The northward advance caused Zhao Guo to mobilize the elite to go south again. Even if Deng Jun can win in the end, how many of the 20 soldiers and horses will be left in the end?These soldiers and horses are the elites that Deng has accumulated for many years. Once they are lost, they will not recover in a few years. However, neither Zhao nor Qin will give Deng time to recover, so now Deng You have to be careful every step you take.

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, on April 22, the news of Yue Fei's success came to Wancheng. When Deng Sheng received the news of the success, he immediately called a group of ministers to discuss matters.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Gaocheng sat on the throne and said to everyone: "Masters, General Yue Fei has just sent a good news from Jiwang. Our army has won a big victory, and Zhao Jun has suffered heavy losses. Now we have returned the grievance sentence of Jiyin County." The city has completely withdrawn from Chenliu County, that is to say, Chenliu County, Chen County, and Liang County have completely fallen into the hands of my great Deng!"

"Great!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. They were full of confidence in this Northern Expedition. This was the first time that Deng Guo took the initiative to challenge an opponent stronger than himself in so many years, so they all I am looking forward to the good news from the soldiers in front, but I didn't expect the good news to come so fast. How long did it take for Deng Jun to send troops?The troops were dispatched at the end of February, and in less than two months, they defeated the main force of the Zhao army with 10,000+ troops, and the Zhao army had to withdraw from Chenliu County. lost.

This battle also broke the myth of Zhao Jun's invincibility. Some people may say that the myth of Zhao Jun's invincibility ended as early as Baiqi's raid on Shangdang, but everyone knows that Qin Jun took advantage of people's surprise to attack , and later because of the Wuhuan invasion, Zhao Guo had to devote most of his energy to the northern border, so he didn't fight the Qin army. Otherwise, it might not be possible for the Qin army to stop it. On the battlefield, 25 Zhao troops were defeated. No one has ever been able to do this in 30 years.

"But now there is a troublesome thing. The Northern Expedition has won a great victory. The generals on the front line have a big disagreement about whether to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to go north, and take down Dongjun and Jiyin Commanderies in one go. Pushing the border of our Great Deng to the Yellow River line General Yue Fei can’t make a decision at this moment, so I report this matter to the widow and let the widow decide!” After sharing his joy, Deng Sheng brought up this trouble again, and told Chang Yuchun and Han Qing about the situation. All claims made.

Everyone fell silent when they heard this. Now the situation in the Northern Expedition is very good. If they continue to march northward, there is great hope of capturing Dongjun and Jiyin. However, as Han Qing said, even if they can win Dongjun and Jiyin County, how did Deng Jun deal with Zhao Guo's crazy counterattack?
It is self-evident how important the land of the Central Plains is to Zhao Guo. After losing a battle and losing three counties, Zhao Guo can still bear it. If Dongjun and Jiyin counties are lost, then the land of Wei Guo Except for Hanoi and Henan, all fell into the hands of Deng Guo, and once Dongjun and Jiyin County fell, Henan County would definitely not be saved. In addition, Pei County and Guangling County captured by Chu State, the Central Plains that Zhao Xin defeated Just lost most of it, Zhao Guo is unwilling to bear such a result, so a crazy counterattack is inevitable.

"My Majesty, I don't recommend continuing to march northward, and we should stop here!" Cui Hao came out and said, he disagreed with Chang Yuchun and others' radical idea of ​​continuing northward, and believed that Deng Guo should accept it as soon as it was good.

"Tell me your reason!" Now that Deng Sheng has his own decision-making ability, he will not obey Cui Hao because he is his confidant. Cui Hao must come up with a reason that is sufficient to convince Deng Sheng.

Cui Hao cupped his hands and said: "My lord, my Great Deng has lost nearly one hundred thousand troops this time. This is the strength of the two guards. Such a loss is already very heavy. Annihilating nearly 20 Zhao troops is not a big deal, but don’t forget, Zhao still has hundreds of thousands of troops. If all of them are put into the Central Plains and our army fights, how much will the remaining 10,000+ troops of our army have in the end? Is it still the same sentence, the state of Zhao is powerful, and it must not be radical if you take it slowly. If you lose nearly half of my great Deng's strength for the sake of a mere Central Plains, it is not worthwhile. Compared with my great Deng's elite soldiers and strong generals In other words, the Central Plains is not that important, and besides, if my Great Deng's elite lose too much in the Central Plains, the Qin Congress may be the first to attack my Great Deng."

After listening to Cui Hao's words, Deng Sheng nodded approvingly. It is not easy for Deng Guoneng to be as strong as he is today. He cannot return to the pre-liberation for the sake of a Central Plains. It is enough to capture Chenliu County, Chen County, and Liang County in one fell swoop. Deng Guo has been digesting it for a while, and eating too ugly will only make things turn against each other, not to mention that there is a Qin State who is like a wolf watching him.

"What Cui Qing said is true, what do you think?" Although he already agreed with Cui Hao's thoughts in his heart, Deng Sheng still wanted to hear other people's thoughts, so he asked.

However, everyone's thinking at this time is the same as Cui Hao's, advocating steady and steady fighting. Zhao Guo is not a good opponent. If Deng Guo pushes too hard, Zhao Guo will not make it easier for Deng Guo. It is better to stabilize the land he has already obtained. First of all, there is still a chance to seize the Central Plains, so there is no need to rush for a while.

After everyone unified their opinions, Deng Sheng also made a decision to stop here and no longer go north.
