Chapter 95

: Su Hong envoys Chang'an

Deng Sheng summoned Su Hong into the palace and said, "Su Qing, I want you to go to the Han Kingdom to go to Chang'an."

"Chang'an?" Su Hong was confused. He didn't know what Deng Sheng meant. The relationship between Deng and Han had already dropped to freezing point, and there was a very likely no chance of recovery. What's the use of going to Han at this time?

Deng Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, it's Chang'an."

"Then I wonder what the king's purpose was to ask me to go to Chang'an?" Su Hong asked.

Deng Sheng looked up at the sky and said, "Buy a war horse."

"Buy war horses? King, will the Han Dynasty sell them to us?" Su Hong was stunned. What's the point? Go to the Han Dynasty to buy war horses? Are you stupid as a Han Dynasty or Su Hong?

"No, but this is not the point. The point is that I lack an excuse." Deng Sheng said mysteriously.

"Exception? What excuse?" Su Hong was even more confused. Since he knew that Han Dynasty would not sell war horses, why should he humiliate himself? What excuses did Deng Sheng need?

Deng Sheng did not answer immediately, but turned around and walked towards the harem. He wanted to see his son. While walking, he said, "A reason to start a war." After that, he left, leaving only a back for Su Hong.

Su Hong stood there stupidly. At this moment, he finally understood that Deng Sheng was going to attack Han State and asked him to go on a mission to Han State, just to create a reason.

In fact, the incident of Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun's letter had already caused a lot of discussion in the court, all about whether to go north or south. Even Su Hong believed that this time, either went north to fight Wei or went south to destroy Xiang. However, he did not expect that Deng Sheng was completely unnatural and wanted to fight Han. It was really incredible.

The next day, Deng Sheng issued an order to order Su Hong as an envoy to the Han Dynasty. This action made all the civil and military officials confused. What was this operation?

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City, and in the Han Palace, the Han King summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. What he discussed was the matter of Deng's envoys coming. When Su Hong left Wancheng, Deng Sheng sent someone to quickly submit a letter of state to the Han Dynasty.

"My good ministers, Deng State sent envoys to come this time. Do you know what happened?" The King of Han asked the ministers.

The current prime minister of Han State is Cao Qun, and Xiao Qi passed away a few years ago.

Cao Qun came out and bowed, "Return to the king, I don't know what medicine is sold in the Deng Kingdom's gourd, but now my Han Dynasty is confronting the Qin army in Longguan, and the relationship with Deng Kingdom can still be eased. Of course, I also know that the Han Dynasty and Deng Kingdom have a deep blood hatred, but now nothing is more important than Longguan. Longguan is still in the hands of Qin Kingdom, and Guanzhong will not be able to get peace in one day."

When Cao Qun talked about eased relations with Deng State, the military generals led by Zhou Shen were all too long and stared at Cao Qun. Cao Qun was not Xiao Qi, so he could not convince the civil and military officials of the court.

Cao Qun's words were exactly the same as the King of Han's wishes. Although he wanted to kill Deng immediately, the situation did not allow him to do so. Now most of the elite troops of the Han Dynasty are fighting with Qin in Longguan. If he still chooses to continue to get into evil with Deng at this time, the situation will be very unfavorable to the Han Dynasty.

The King of Han said to Zhou Shen and other generals in the army: "Generals, I know that you can't forget the great revenge between you and Deng State, and I can't forget it either. But the current situation is that the Han Dynasty can no longer conflict with Deng State. I promise that as long as the Han Dynasty takes back Longguan and rests for several years, he will definitely conquer the entire country's troops, destroy Deng State, and avenge the deep blood hatred of that year."

The King of Han has already said this to this extent. If Zhou Shen and others still object, they would be too ungrateful. So Zhou Shen went out and bowed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely put the interests of the Great Han first, and there will be no objection."

The King of Han finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Shen became perverted, which represented the attitude of the entire military. Now he could stabilize these arrogant soldiers and generals.

In October of the tenth year of Qianyuan, Su Hong and his party arrived in Chang'an, and the Han Dynasty sent Dahonglu Libu to receive it.

In the inn, Su Hong sat alone in the room. Li Bu had already said just now that King Han would meet him tomorrow.

Su Hong was thinking about what Deng Sheng said to him when he came, which made him unintentionally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Han Dynasty, and his goal was achieved, which made Su Hong a little embarrassed. How could he do it unintentionally? This is very exquisite.

The next day, Su Hong came to the Han Palace, entered the hall, saw the Han King on the throne, and saluted: "Su Hong, Minister of the Great Deng Works Department, pay homage to the King of Han, I wish the King of Han for ten thousand years!"

The King of Han raised his hand slightly and said, "You don't have to be too polite!"

Su Hongdao thanked him and said some compliments.

Seeing that both sides had almost exchanged greetings, the King of Han asked Su Hong: "I wonder why King Deng sent the emperor to Chang'an?"

Su Hong smiled and said, "By the king, my king's sect is here to do business with your country."

"Do business? What business do you do?" The King of Han was very surprised. What was the Han State needed by Deng State?

Su Hongdao: "My king knew that Qin had seized the Longguan of your country. For this reason, your country fought with Qin around the Longguan area. The consumption of money and food must be very large. Therefore, my king planned to buy 50,000 war horses from your country with 300,000 gold. I wonder what the king wanted?"

"What, buying a war horse is impossible." Before the Han King could speak, Zhou Shen was the first to jump out to object.

Zhou Shen said to the King of Han: "King, war horses are the most important strategic materials for our Han Dynasty and must not be sold to Deng State."

The King of Han waved his hand and signaled Zhou Shen to retreat first. The King of Han was not a fool. Of course, he knew that he could not sell the war horse to Deng. After all, Deng's thoughts were already known to everyone. If Deng Sheng wanted to compete in the Central Plains, how could he sell the war horse, a killer weapon to Deng?

The King of Han said to Su Hong with a stern face: "Young Master is joking. I don't have many war horses, so how can I sell them to your country?"

Su Hong shook his head and said, "The king is so bad. How could he joke with the king? 300,000 gold is a very reasonable price. If the king is not satisfied, we can talk about it again. Moreover, after the Battle of Wuguan, I, Da Deng, did not feel sad about your country. Now I just want to buy 50,000 war horses from your country. Why should the king make things difficult for you?"

It would be fine if Su Hong did not mention the Battle of Wuguan. When he mentioned it, it instantly ignited the anger of the Han generals. The Han generals led by Zhou Shen all glared at Su Hong. If his eyes could kill people, Su Hong might not have known how many times he had died.

The Han King on the throne was also furious. What's wrong with Su Hong? It's just that the Battle of Wuguan is the eternal pain of the Han Kingdom. Since the Battle of Gaixia, the Han Kingdom has never fought such a tragic battle. This is not the same pot. Is Su Hong here to hit the Han Kingdom in the face?

Seeing the reaction of the Han monarch and ministers, Su Hong smiled in his heart. This was the effect he wanted. To inadvertently anger the Han Dynasty and arouse the dissatisfaction of the Han Dynasty, there was nothing better than raising the Battle of Wuguan.

The King of Han had a gloomy face, suppressed his anger, and said, "The Lord of the Lord doesn't need to say much. I will not sell war horses to your country. If the Lord of the Lord has nothing to do, please leave first. I have important matters to discuss with the Lord of the Lord, so I won't be with you." The King of Han issued an order to expel the guests directly.

"Master, please consider it again." Su Hongdao.

"No need to think about it, I have decided, please, please!" King Han waved his hand and asked Su Hong to leave directly.

Su Hong could only leave the hall with a helpless look on his face.
