: The Imperial Commander

"King, I think it's better to negotiate peace." Cai Feng was also a little moved after hearing Su Hong's words. Defeat the Han army and achieve hegemony. Isn't this the dream of such a person? But when he knew that his side had only 80,000 troops, he was immediately timid and hurriedly suggested to Deng Sheng to negotiate peace.

But Deng Sheng didn't want to admit defeat like this. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he defeated this Han army, even if he could not completely wipe out the Han country, the Han country would inevitably suffer a heavy blow. So how could his opponents around him miss this good opportunity?

Deng Sheng: "Su Qing is right. I cannot always give in. If I give in this time, the Han Kingdom will be more and more aggressive. In this way, my country will never have peace. Therefore, I decided that this time, we will fight!"

"The king is wise!" Su Hong and other pro-war factions were overjoyed. On the contrary, Cai Feng's face looked a little bad. However, since Deng Sheng had decided to fight this battle, he could only support it. However, 80,000 vs. 200,000, which was too great a gap. Cai Feng felt that he had to find some helpers.

Cai Feng: "King, you might as well send people to Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Shu for help, especially Zhao State. Zhao Chu is an in-law ally. The king can send people to Chu State to ask Chu State to come forward and ask Zhao State to reinforcements."

"I wonder what you think?"

Yao Guangxiao came out and said, "King, the last time the Han army attacked, it was fierce, but in the end it was forced to retreat to Guanzhong by Qin, Zhao and Wei. How could the Han Kingdom send troops again this time? I think that even if the Three Kingdoms send troops, the Han Kingdom will be at ease, and I am afraid that it will no longer retreat easily like last time."

Everyone thought Yao Guangxiao was justified. They were all smart people, so how could they fall twice in the same place? I'm afraid that this time I can only rely on myself to defeat the Han army.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the Han State has dispatched almost half of its troops this time, and it must be well prepared. I believe that the border has already prepared against the troops of the Three Kingdoms. This time it can only depend on ourselves. However, the Three Kingdoms, Chu and Shu States still have to send people to ask them to send troops, not to force the Han army to retreat, but to just hope that they can hold back the troops of the Han State and not allow them to reinforce Nanyang."

"Here."

"This battle is not a small matter. For our Deng State, it is not an exaggeration to say that life and death are not an exaggeration. Therefore, I decided to go to the front line to supervise the battle." This time, Deng Sheng decided to go to the front line to personally conduct the battle. Although he knew that his command of the army was a scumbag, he was the king of Deng State after all. As long as he stood there, the morale of Deng State's soldiers would increase greatly and his chances of winning would be greater. Besides, Deng Sheng also knew how much he was and would not command blindly. Moreover, Deng Sheng had another purpose in the imperial expedition this time, which was to fight. It is considered to bring Yue Fei to the stage and make him more meritorious and take charge of the three armies in the future. What’s more important is that Huang Biao is a general. If Deng Sheng does not command the command, he will definitely be him. With Huang Biao’s ability, he will face one of the three generals of the Han Dynasty. His strength is so different, he may be really defeated. Therefore, after many measures, Deng Sheng decided to command the command of the army. As the deputy general, Deng Sheng also planned to make him a mascot and hand over the command of the army to Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao and others.

"Master, no!"

"The king is a body of thousands of gold, how can he take risks with his body?"

"Please think twice!"

As soon as the imperial guards came out in person, Deng Sheng was opposed by his ministers and joked that this battle was extremely dangerous. Deng Sheng was less than seventeen years old, and had no grand marriage and had no children. What if there was a trivial matter, what would happen to Deng State? So all the ministers made up their minds to stop Deng Sheng from personally expeditioning.

Deng Sheng also knew that once he proposed to command the imperial throne, the ministers would try their best to stop him, but Deng Sheng had Deng Sheng's consideration, and no one could stop him this time.

Deng Sheng: "No need to say much, my idea has been decided!"

Seeing that Deng Sheng was determined and knew that he could not stop him, everyone had to give up, but they were still worried. Some people were still thinking in their hearts that if Deng Sheng had something to do, who should succeed to the throne?

Deng Sheng: "In this battle, I was the head commander, General Huang Biao was the deputy commander, Li Tianhu, Yang Yanzhao, Yue Fei, Zhang Fei was the general, Cui Hao, Yao Guangxiao, and Su Hong were the military advisors of the army, commanding the 50,000 troops in Wancheng, and another 10,000 Yulin Army was dispatched, a total of 60,000 troops were sent to Xixian County to join Chang Yuchun's troops. General Liao Ming of Annan guarded Xinye, General Shinai guarded Ye County, General Yulin Fang Hanchen guarded Wancheng, Prime Minister Cai Feng, Taichang Deng Yong, and Jiang Wan were in charge of the rear."

"Abide by the king's order."

Xixian County

Since learning that the 200,000 Han army was advancing eastward, Chang Yuchun began to strengthen the city walls and collect materials to defend the city, such as rolling wood, huge stones, etc.

In the Daying of Xi County, Chang Yuchun, Cheng Yu and Wang Yanzhang are discussing countermeasures.

Chang Yuchun: "Two, according to reliable information, the Han army has set out in Chang'an and will arrive at Wuguan within two days. It will appear in Xixian within ten days. In Wancheng, I believe that the lords in the court have already had solutions to deal with it, but I don't know what Wancheng will do. In the early stage, I have to rely on my Xixian myself."

Both Cheng Yu and Wang Yanzhang looked serious. They also knew that this battle was not easy to fight. Xixian had only 20,000 troops. Fighting against 200,000 Han troops was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. Only now can we stick to the city and wait for support.

Cheng Yu: "Now there are 20,000 troops in Xi County, all of which are elite troops of our army. In recent days, 10,000 young and strong men have been recruited. Now General Wang has stepped up his training, and it is not a big problem to defend the city. Moreover, after receiving news from Wancheng today, the king has ordered the gathering of 60,000 troops in Wancheng, led by the king himself, and will arrive in Xi County soon."

"What? The king is in charge of the army?" Chang Yuchun and Wang Yanzhang were shocked. They did not expect that Deng Sheng would lead his army to come in person.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu also smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that Deng Sheng would actually lead the army to fight in person. Now Xi County is a dragon's nest. The 200,000 Han troops are not a joke. He couldn't understand where Deng Sheng got his courage and confidence, so he actually came here in person.

Cheng Yu: "This time, my great Deng has all the elite troops, with 60,000 troops in Wancheng, plus the troops in Xixian County, these are all the troops that my great Deng can take out."

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "Yes, I was worried that the ministers in Wancheng would be scared by the 200,000 Han troops and dared not respond. It seems that I was too worried, but what I didn't expect was that the king actually led the army to fight in person." Faced with the 200,000 Han troops, Chang Yuchun was very happy that Deng Sheng could bring out all his strength, because he also knew that only a united Deng State could win this life-and-death battle. However, Deng Sheng led the army to fight in person, which would cause variables in the battle situation.

"But now we can't think so much. It has become a fact that the King of Kings personally led the expedition, and the Han army is imminent. All we can do is to use all our strength to win this battle. Next, we will personally sit in the city. General Wang stepped up training for young and strong people, hoping to play a role in the war. Mr. Cheng is to appease the people in the city and convene the people to defend the city when necessary." Since Deng Sheng's personal expedition has become a fact, Chang Yuchun no longer thinks much, and he has no intention to dissuade Deng Sheng. He knows that since the people in Wancheng can't persuade Deng Sheng, it is even more impossible for him to come. Let's be at peace.
