Chapter 193: Wei's plan

The State of Wei suddenly sent Prime Minister Ma Rong to visit Wancheng. Deng Sheng felt very strange. During the Battle of Changshe, the State of Wei lost tens of thousands of people, and many generals died at the hands of General Deng. Since then, the relationship between Deng and Wei has reached a freezing point. The people of Wei always think about Deng. Now that Ma Rong suddenly comes, it is really strange.

In fact, Ma Rong suddenly came to Wancheng not for no reason, nor for repairing his relationship with Deng State, but for a major plan of Wei State.

This is the case. Just when Deng State held a world martial arts competition, Zhao State led its army eastward to attack Liaodong, intending to remove the remnants of Yan State that was hiding in Liaodong in one fell swoop. At the same time, Qi State also led its army southward, intending to destroy the two Chus in one fell swoop.

Zhao Qi's big moves made Wei feel a sense of crisis. Now all countries are expanding their strength. Since the Battle of Changshe, Wei has seemed to be in a slump. So in order to reverse the decline, Wei decided to expand its territory. However, among the countries bordering Wei, Zhao Qi and Wei cannot afford to offend, Han and Wei cannot enter Hangu Pass, and everything is useless. As for Deng, Wei has simply developed a fear, so after picking it, Wei finally turned his attention to Chen.

In fact, the Wei State did not have thought of attacking the two Chus, but now judging by the Qi State's posture, he has already regarded the two Chus as a treasure. With the strength of the Wei State, it is impossible for him to get the Chu State from Qi State.

The reason why Ma Rong was sent to Wancheng was because he wanted to attack Chen State. Deng State was the key, because there was an alliance between Deng, Chu and Chen. If Wei State attacked Chen State and Chen State lost, and then asked Deng State for help, who could guarantee that Deng State would not send troops? Therefore, after several discussions, Wei State decided to jointly destroy Chen State and give Runan County to Deng State. However, in this way, Wei State only got one Chen State, which was obviously not cost-effective. Therefore, Wei State had another goal, which was to give Runan County to Deng State, but Deng State wanted to help Wei State seize Pei County from the tiger mouth of Qi State.

In this way, Deng State has gained Runan County, Wei State has gained Chen County, and Pei County, which are all beneficial. With Deng State's help, Wei State is not afraid of Qi State coming to cause trouble.

After seeing Ma Rong and learning that Wei State had the goal, Deng Sheng hesitated a little. It was not that Deng Sheng did not want Runan County, but that it was because Deng State had just reorganized its army and all the troops were still actively training and running-in, so it was really not suitable to send troops.

But judging from Ma Rong's intention, it was a foregone conclusion that Wei sent troops to attack Chen. If Chen came to ask for help, would it be a rescue or not to block it? So Deng Sheng hurriedly asked Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, Su Hong, and Yue Fei to discuss it.

When several people learned that Deng Sheng was summoned, they immediately thought that it was because of the Wei State, so they quickly came to Ganyang Palace.

In Ganyang Palace, Deng Sheng expressed his concerns, hoping that these think tanks could give him some advice.

When everyone heard Deng Sheng's concerns, they frowned. Deng State is at a critical moment. If a war is launched rashly, it will have more or less impact on the integration of Deng State's army. However, since we do not fight Chen State with Wei State, then in the future, Chen State sends people to ask for help. Will Deng State save or not? If we do not save, we can only watch Wei State take advantage of Chen County, Runan County, the two major Central Plains counties and the Chen State's population of two million people. This is obviously not in the interests of Deng State.

"I report to the king, and I advocate joining forces with the State of Wei." At this time, Su Hong stepped out.

Deng Sheng frowned and asked, "What did Su Qing think about it? Please tell me in detail." Seeing that Su Hong advocated joining forces with Wei to destroy Chen, Deng Sheng asked him the reason.

Su Hong paused and said, "Return to the king, since the Wei State can come to Wancheng as an envoy, this means that the Wei State's attack on Chen is already inevitable. Whether we agree or not, Wei State will still send troops."

Everyone nodded. The people here were all smart people. Although they didn't know what purpose the Wei State was to join forces with Deng Guo, who had a deep hatred for blood, it can be seen from Ma Rong's personal visit to Wancheng that Wei State was determined to attack Chen.

Seeing everyone nodding, Su Hong agreed with his opinion, so he continued: "Now there are three days to leave in front of us. First, join forces with Wei, and eventually Wei will get Chen County, Pei County, and my Great Deng County."

"Second, if we don't join forces with Wei, we will rescue us when Chen State could not hold on and interrupt Wei's plan to annex Chen State. However, in this way, our country will once again confront Wei State head-on."

"Third, we neither join forces with the State of Wei nor rescue the State of Chen. We watched the State of Wei swallow Chen County and Runan County."

"The reason why I advocate joining forces with Wei is because rescue of Chen will not benefit Da Deng at all. Instead, it will consume power. If you ignore it, Wei will take over two counties and increase its strength greatly, which will not benefit Da Deng either." Su Hongdao.

After hearing this, Deng Sheng remained silent and thought carefully about Su Hong's words. It was impossible for Deng Sheng to watch Chen State annexed by Wei State. After all, Deng State and Wei State still had a deep feud. If Wei State's strength increased, it would be impossible to become a great enemy of Deng State. The results of the battle of Changshe will be instantly gone. This is not Deng Sheng's style.

————

Asking for help from Chen State to prevent Wei State from getting a plan. Although it can curb Wei State, it is not beneficial to Deng State. Instead, it will be more cost-effective because of Chen State, fighting with Wei State, which will consume strength and be worth the loss. So after thinking about it, it is still more cost-effective to join forces with Wei State.

"What do others think?" It's related to Deng Guo's future, Deng Sheng did not dare to make a decision, so he wanted to seek the opinions of Cui Hao and others.

"I have no objection!" Cui Hao and Jiang Wan replied.

However, Yue Fei stammered: "King, Chen State is our ally. If we join forces with Wei State to deal with Chen State, it will make the king bear the infamous reputation of being betrayed."

Yue Fei is an upright person. Although Deng State is related to Chen State because of Chu State, in fact, Deng State and Chen State did not make any alliance. However, in the eyes of the world, Deng State and Chen State are allies, and Chen State has been very respectful to Deng State over the years. If they suddenly betray their faith and attack their allies, Yue Fei will not be able to accept it.

But others disagree. Not to mention that Deng and Chen did not make an alliance, they were just nominal allies. Even if they really set up a blood alliance, they would betrayal.

Cui Hao smiled and said to Yue Fei: "General Yue is too worried. Strictly speaking, my eldest brother Deng and Chen have not made any alliance. The reason why they became ally with Chen is because of Chu. In fact, after the split of Chu, the ally relationship between my eldest brother Deng and Chen no longer exists, so General Yue does not need to have any concerns."

Although he thought Cui Hao was very reasonable, Yue Fei still couldn't accept it. But now everyone agreed. He knew that he couldn't change anything by himself, so he consciously chose to shut up.

Since everyone's opinions were unanimous, Deng Sheng also made up his mind to join forces with Wei to take over Runan County.

The next day, Deng Sheng met Ma Rong again and agreed to the Wei Kingdom's alliance, but the second only to this alliance was not an alliance. Of course, Ma Rong would not care about these things. Even if Deng Sheng wanted to form an alliance, Wei Kingdom would not agree.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the State of Wei would send troops first to attract the main force of Chen. Then Deng raided Runan County abroad, and the two countries worked together to destroy Chen.

At first glance, it seemed that it was not very fair to Wei. Wei was dealing with the main force of Chen, but Deng State picked peaches from behind. However, Deng Sheng promised to help Wei take over Pei County. If Qi attacked Wei, the blockade would have to intervene. However, it was agreed that this was only once.
