Chapter 525 : Probe first, Deng Han invites to fight

In the 26th year of Qianyuan, in the first month, King Qin collapsed in Chang'an, the new king succeeded to the throne, and the court was in turmoil. Fearing that Deng Zhao would take advantage of it, Qin took the initiative to shrink the defense line, guarding Qinchuan in the south, occupying the Yellow River in the north, and controlling Hulao Pass in the east. At the same time, a group of elite troops were dispatched westward to Xiliang to suppress the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

In the 26th year of Qianyuan, in March, due to Qin's initiative to shrink its strength, the pressure on the frontier defense between Deng and Zhao was greatly reduced. The two countries increased their troops to the Central Plains at the same time. Wan, and Deng Guo also transferred the Jinwu Guards stationed on Jingnan Road from the country to the north.

In the 26th year of Qianyuan, in May, a conflict broke out between Deng and Zhao on the border. Both sides sent hundreds of thousands of elite troops to fight each other, causing casualties to each other. After this battle, the war subsided again.

In the 26th year of Qianyuan, in July, Li Rubing, the general of the State of Zhao, went south from Jinyang to Puyang City, the governor of the East County. The governor of the Central Plains had hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. With the arrival of the supreme commanders of the two armies, the situation in the Central Plains became more tense, but both sides tacitly maintained restraint, and no conflict occurred.

Chen Liucheng, in the prefect's mansion, has become the headquarters of Deng Jun's front line in the Central Plains, but Deng Guo only has two elites of Yingyangwei and Shenwuwei with 10 people here, and other soldiers and horses are stationed in other counties in the Central Plains. After all, although it is a decisive battle, it is impossible for the two sides to gather all the soldiers and horses to directly confront Gang. If this is the case, even if the battle is won, the loss will be immeasurable. Whether it is the result of Deng Guo or Zhao Guo I can't afford it either.

"General Xue, this general is new here, and I don't know much about the situation in the Central Plains. Please tell me." Yue Fei stood in front of the map and said to Xue Rengui. Yue Fei valued Xue Rengui very much, and he also watched Xue Rengui grow up. Over the past twenty years, Xue Rengui has also grown from a fledgling boy to a general in charge today. Yue Fei knows that he is getting old, and he will probably retire in a few years. If there is no accident, he will succeed him as the general in the future. Xue Rengui is the general of the General Governor's Mansion. Xue Rengui has outstanding abilities. The most important point is that Xue Rengui is a foreign relative and is a cousin of Deng Sheng. This makes Xue Rengui easier to gain Deng Sheng's trust than others.

"Here!" Xue Rengui responded, and then pointed to the map and said: "In today's Central Plains, the enemy and our armies have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops here. Since last year, our army's Eagle Guard, Tiger Wing Guard, Shenwu Guard, Shence Guard, Spirit Snake Guard, Yongping Guard, Long Xiang Guard, Shenxing Guard, and Jin Wu Guard went north to the Central Plains successively. Today, our army has 45 soldiers and horses deployed in the Central Plains, including Ying Yang Guard and Shen Wu Guard. Chenliu Commandery is mainly used to resist the main force of the Zhao army in Dongjun. It is also in Runan County, while Long Xiangwei is stationed in Yingchuan County, and can go north for reinforcements at any time."

Yue Fei nodded, and then said: "Where is Zhao Jun? Where are Zhao Jun's elites deployed?" Now that we understand the situation on our own side, it's time to talk about Zhao Jun's.

Xue Rengui said: "Since last year, the State of Zhao has successively increased its troops in the Central Plains. Now the strength of the Zhao Army in the Central Plains has reached 55. Among them, Dongjun is the main force of the Zhao Army. Li Rubing, the commander of the Zhao Army, is also in Puyang City. The spies reported that there were no less than 20 Zhao troops stationed in Dongjun, led by Li Rubing himself. In addition, Zhao Jun stationed [-] elite soldiers in Pengcheng, led by Zhao Jun general Kou Fei, and stationed in Peijun and Jiyin counties. One hundred thousand elite soldiers were stationed in Xiapi County, led by General Zhao Jun Le Ting, one hundred thousand elite soldiers were stationed in Xiapi County, led by Zhao Army General Zhang Jie, and another fifty thousand elite troops were stationed in Shanyang County, led by Zhao Army General Dong Zhong. It is estimated that Ma was there to support the Zhao army in Peijun, Xiapijun, and Pengchengjun."

"Millions of elites from both sides gathered in the Central Plains. This battle should be the largest in the past 30 years. If we can win this battle, within ten years, my Great Deng will be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish of unifying the world." Murong Chui sighed beside him.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words. Everyone knew very well that whether it was Deng Guo or Zhao Guo, almost all of their families were under pressure. If they lost, it would be difficult to resist the final winner. I can live on.

"What General Murong said is true. In order to fulfill our long-cherished wish, we must not lose this battle. Not only can we not lose, but we must win a big victory. If the loss is too great, even if we win, it will not be worth the loss." Yue Fei nodded and said , In such a war, it is not enough to win, but to reduce losses as much as possible, otherwise, even if the tens of thousands of people in Zhao State were destroyed, Deng State would also lose hundreds of thousands of elites, so it would not be worth it.

"General, it is already August, and there are still two months until the midwinter season. I wonder when our army plans to launch an attack?" Xue Rengui asked Yue Fei. Since March last year, the Deng and Zhao armies have been in the Central Plains. The confrontation has lasted for more than a year, and the two sides have occasionally fought each other, causing casualties to each other, but the real war did not start.

"Don't worry, it's still too early for a real decisive battle, but a proper test is still needed. Send someone to send a message to the Spirit Snake Guard and Shence Guard in Jiujiang County, and order the two guards to go north to Pei County to test the strength of the Zhao army. It would be best if there is a chance to win Peijun, but if nothing can be done and you can’t love to fight, you need to quickly return to Jiujiang, and the rest of the guards stand still and wait for the general’s order.” The real decisive battle needs the right time, place and people, and both are indispensable. Now it is certain There won't be such an early decisive battle, but a proper test is still needed, so Yue Fei ordered the Spirit Snake Guard and Shence Guard to fight Peijun first, and he didn't care if he could beat Yue Fei.

"Here!" Xue Rengui responded, and then sent someone to Jiujiang County with Yue Fei's military order.

After the discussion was over, everyone dispersed, only Deng Han and his brothers remained in the prefect's mansion.

Seeing this, Yue Fei felt very strange, so he asked, "Why are your highnesses wandering here?"

"General, my brothers and I are here to ask for a fight. We ask for orders to go to Jiujiang County and attack Pei County with Spirit Snake Guard and Shence Guard." Deng Han, the elder brother, said.

Hearing this, Yue Fei felt a sudden headache. The people in front of him are little ancestors, and there must be no loss. Yue Fei also couldn't figure it out. Deng Han and the others could obviously stay in Wancheng and enjoy the benefits, but they chose to come to the front line, come to the front line It doesn't matter, just stay in the rear honestly, why are you going to Jiujiang County now?
Yue Fei scratched his head, and said: "The front line is extremely dangerous. Your highnesses are all rich, and there must be no mistakes. It is better to stay in Chenliu with your ministers." It is impossible for Yue Fei to send these little ancestors to Those on the front line, if there is a mistake, if you return to Wancheng, you will have to take off your skin if you don't die. This is no joke.

But Deng Han and the others didn't think so, and Deng Han said to Yue Fei: "The general's words are wrong, the father asked us brothers to come to the Central Plains for experience, what's the matter of staying in Chenliu? Besides, Jiujiang County has [-] elite troops from our army, so we won't have any problems, and my third brother and I have been in the army for many years, so we know how to protect ourselves."

Yue Fei felt even more headache after hearing this, and thought: Have you been in the army for many years?That's right, you did go out with the army, but it was just to gain military exploits, and you didn't contribute much at all, okay? Is the attack on Peijun comparable to the previous battles?To attack Peijun, even if the spirit snake guards and the Shence guards come together with a hundred thousand elites, they are not very sure, and if they are not careful, they may capsize in the gutter.

But Deng Han has already talked about this, and Deng Sheng's purpose of letting them come to the Central Plains is indeed to experience them. It is really difficult for Yue Fei to refuse such a request. If it is someone else, Yue Fei is completely He could slap him across the face, but these little ancestors couldn't do it. In the end, Yue Fei chose to compromise.

Yue Fei sighed, and said: "Since the several Highnesses are willing to serve the country, there is no reason for me to stop it. How about it, the Second Highness and the Third Highness will go to the General of the Spirit Snake Guard, Murong Ke, to listen to orders. As for the Fourth Highness His Highness and Fifth Highness are still young, not suitable for such a long journey, it is better to stay in Chenliu, if you disagree, then I have no choice but to go to the king, let the king make a decision."

After thinking about it, Yue Fei asked Deng Han and Deng Yu to go under Murong Ke's command. After all, both of them were in their twenties, and they were not too young. Their father, the king, was 17 years old when he was in charge, and he was in Xixian County against 20 Han He is in the army, and he is not young in his twenties, but Deng Han and Deng Yu can go, but Deng Zun and Deng Fu are absolutely impossible. These two little ancestors are only 13 years old. Jiujiang County is too dangerous and must not be allowed to go. They went, and Yue Fei had already made it clear that if Deng Han and the others still disagreed, he had no choice but to play Deng Sheng and let Deng Sheng make the decision. Although this might offend the Deng Han brothers, Yue Fei couldn't care less. Offended or offended, it's no big deal, after all, no matter how powerful these few people are in the future, they are just princes of one side, as long as Deng Hao doesn't have opinions on him.

"Okay!" Hearing Yue Fei's words, the youngest Deng Fu wanted to fight for it, but was stopped by Deng Han, who immediately agreed to Yue Fei.

"Okay, since that's the case, then your Highnesses should go down and prepare. As soon as the minister's military order arrives, the Spirit Snake Guard and Shence Guard will send troops to the north. Time is running out. Your Highnesses should go as soon as possible." Yue Feisong Said in one breath.

"Here! General, I will step down first!" After finishing speaking, Deng Han and Deng Yu pulled Deng Zun and Deng Fu away together.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Deng Fu said angrily to Deng Han: "Why did the second brother stop me just now? The general made me and the fourth brother stay in Chenliu because he looked down on us."

Deng Han knew that Deng Fu was just a child with a temper, but he still said in a good voice: "Fifth brother, you need to know that some things should be done in moderation. If the general is in a hurry, the general will play the father, and we may be afraid." I can't afford to walk around. After all, before we came here, my father and elder brother told us not to act recklessly as princes. If we act like this, I am afraid that my father will send someone to arrest us without the general speaking. Back to Wancheng."

"But……"

"Okay, fifth brother!" Deng Fu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Deng Zun, who said to Deng Fu: "Second brother is right, we have done something wrong today, if it is true If we make a fuss with my father, we will really go back to Wancheng."

Deng Fu has listened to Deng Zun's words the most since he was a child, and now that Deng Zun has spoken, Deng Fu has no choice but to shut up.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Deng Han and Deng Yu packed up their luggage and left Chenliu with their personal guards under the envious eyes of Deng Zun and Deng Fu brothers, and headed for Jiujiang County.
