Chapter 202: Guanzhong's surprise change

On the first day of June of the 15th year of Qianyuan, Deng Sheng welcomed his sixth child, which was the daughter born to Xue Baochai, which made Deng Sheng very happy. As the saying goes, the daughter is the father's close-fitting little cotton jacket, but Deng Sheng had only five sons before and had always wanted a daughter, but he never could do it.

As soon as this little princess was born, she instantly loved her. Not only Deng Sheng loved her very much, but even Deng Sheng's five sons loved her sister very much. This made Xue Baochai, who was worried about giving birth to a daughter, feel very good. Later, Xue Baochai also thought about it. So what if she gave birth to a son, she was destined to not be able to sit on the throne, because according to Deng Sheng's intention, the future position of crown prince should have been born between Deng Hao and Deng Zun, after all, they are legitimate sons.

———

As for replicating Deng Sheng's miracle, it was quite difficult. The reason why Deng Sheng was able to ascend the throne as the fifth son was because the queen of Wuzhuang was deposed, and the legitimate son Deng Ju cut off the road to the throne, which gave other concubines the opportunity. Now the position of Queen Cai Yan is as stable as Mount Tai. As long as Cai Yan does not fall, other concubines will have no chance at all. Even if Deng Sheng agrees, all the civil and military officials of the court will not agree, so it is better to have a daughter. This is Deng Sheng's first daughter and is destined to be favored by thousands of people.

Deng Sheng also personally named his daughter Deng Qian as a show of favor.

On the first day of July of the 15th year of Qianyuan, in the Jingtai Hall of Jingyang Palace, Deng Sheng personally held a full moon banquet for his first daughter Deng Qian. This was the first time that Deng State had held a full moon banquet for the princess since its founding. Among the five princes, except for the eldest prince Deng Hao, no other prince had held a full moon banquet. This made everyone know about Deng Sheng's favor for this daughter, and it also made everyone remember that no matter who he offended in the future, he would not offend the eldest princess, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

Because he was a daughter, although Deng Sheng also held a grand ceremony, he did not have a grand banquet for the ministers. He just called some members of the royal family over. Even Princess Tai'an, who returned from Wu, also brought her daughter Princess Wanling to attend. However, since Princess Wanling was a title of Wu, Deng Sheng re-appointed her as the lord of the Xiling Man.

After three rounds of drinking, Deng Sheng said to Princess Tai'an: "Sister, are you still used to it in Wancheng?" Since Princess Tai'an returned to China, Deng Sheng has only seen him a few times. First, he has not seen him for many years and is really unfamiliar. Second, it was during this period that Deng State's various affairs have made Deng Sheng unable to escape.

Princess Tai'an smiled and replied, "Thank you for your relationship, Wancheng is my hometown, how could he not get used to it?" After returning to China, Princess Tai'an also had some understanding of her younger brother. She was extremely capable and pulled Deng Guo, who was on the verge of destruction, from the abyss, and vigorously expanded to the outside world to become a powerful country. Princess Tai'an was also proud of her. Sometimes, Princess Tai'an might think that if she hadn't been her younger brother, she might have died long ago and it would be difficult for her to return to her hometown again.

Deng Sheng was very happy at the banquet, and even in order to show his favor for his daughter, he added Deng Qian as the Princess of Nanyang in front of all the royal families, which shocked everyone. You must know that Nanyang is the place where Deng State is the capital. Since the founding of Deng State, no one has been able to get the title of Nanyang.

Deng Qian's birth is just a small episode for the huge world.

After holding his daughter's full moon banquet, Deng Sheng once again devoted himself to heavy government affairs. In the past two years, Deng's country has experienced several consecutive wars. While its strength has increased greatly, it is also a great burden to the country and the people. In order to sympathize with the people, Deng Sheng decided to rest and rest, watch the world's turmoil, and wait for a while. When Zhao State goes south, Qi, Wei and Han are unable to withdraw from their power, they have destroyed the Wu State in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for unifying the world.

At this time, an information from Guanzhong touched the hearts of all people in the world.

On July 12, the 15th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army ambushed the Han general in Wu Yueshan, who was in the right wind of Guanzhong. Zhou Shen, the first commander of the Han army, shocked the world.

This is the case. In July of the 15th year of Qianyuan, Zhou Shen took Xu Jie, the most powerful general of the Han Dynasty, to the Longguan front line to inspect military affairs. While visiting Wu Yueshan, he was ambushed by thousands of elite Qin troops. Because the Qin army came too suddenly and there were too many people, Zhou Shen and Xu Jie died tragically on the spot. This incident also caused the anger of the Han country and shocked the people of the world. However, what surprised the countries in the world most was not the actions of the Qin army, but the person who planned this ambush was not Meng Zhan, the first general of Qin, but a young general named Bai Qi. He was the person who took charge of the action himself. The planners were all presided over by Bai Qi.

After Wu Yueshan was ambushed, hundreds of thousands of Han troops rushed towards Wu Yueshan like crazy, but the Qin army had already left without a trace. At the same time, Meng Zhan led 200,000 elite Qin troops out of Longguan and rushed straight to Fengxian. The Han army was still mourning Zhou Shen and Xu Jie's death. They were unprepared and caught off guard by the Qin army and defeated the army. The Qin army also captured Fengxian. In the end, Cao Tian came out to clean up the mess and blocked the Qin army in Yumi.

After learning about what happened in Guanzhong, Deng Sheng immediately summoned a group of important officials to discuss. Now Qin State ambushed Zhou Shen at all costs, and then threw all the elite troops from all over the country into Guanzhong. This was a stance that he was clearly going to live to the death with the Han State. So Deng Sheng should know what role Deng State should play in this sudden change in Guanzhong.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think about this?" Deng Sheng asked everyone in Ganyang Palace.

"Hiss!" Cui Hao took a breath after hearing the whole thing and said, "This time Qin has really tried his best. Han is in big trouble."

"Yes!" Su Hong continued: "From this ambush, the Qin army has been planning to ambush Zhou Shen for a long time, and there must be a spy lurking by Zhou Shen's side, otherwise he would not have known Zhou Shen's movements so accurately, and then planned this thrilling ambush operation."

"King, sirs, what we should pay attention to is not how long the Qin army will be planning for this ambush, but the man named Bai Qi." At this time, Yue Fei stood up and said.

Everyone looked at Yue Fei in confusion.

Yue Fei said: "From the news I received, this ambushing Zhou Shen was planned by a young Qin general named Bai Qi. If this is true, then this young general named Bai Qi is not simple in mind or strategy, and can escape unscathed under the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Han troops. His ability to command troops is also the first-class in the world, and this is a difficult opponent."

Everyone also looked solemn after hearing this. Deng's purpose was to unify the world, which means that they would inevitably face Qin in the future. Now that Qin has a difficult commander, it is not good news for Deng. Not long ago, Zhao has produced a Li Rubing, and now Qin has produced another Bai Qi, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Deng's future unification of the world.

"In the future, Mingjing must pay more attention to this young Qin army general named Bai Qi." Deng Sheng said to Su Hong with a serious expression after hearing this.

Su Hong nodded. He also knew the danger of Bai Qi. He didn't know the level of his ability to command troops for the time being, but what is certain is that this is a person who uses any means to achieve his goals. When confronting such an opponent, you must know yourself and your opponent, otherwise it will be easy to be humiliated.

"Bai Qi is not in our consideration for the time being. What I want to know is what role should Deng play and what position should he stand in during the Qin and Han dynasties?" Deng Sheng quickly turned the topic back. No matter how strong Bai Qi is, Deng State will not be able to compete with him now. The most important thing now is to treat Guanzhong matters.

"King, I think the Great Deng should watch the changes and watch them on the wall. If the Great Deng today's troops are good and the household treasury is full, they can march into Guanzhong and compete with the Qin and Han dynasties. However, our army has experienced several major battles in the past two years, and the army is exhausted and the national treasury is empty. In addition, the military reform has just ended, and each army is still in the running-in period, so it is really not appropriate to send troops." Cui Hao said.

Everyone said that Deng State also had difficulties with Deng State. Although Deng State has expanded its strength in the past two years, more than half of its territory is a new place. The people have not yet attached it, and they still need to increase their efforts to appease it. Otherwise, it will be easy for a fire in the backyard to catch fire. And if troops are sent to Guanzhong, it means going to war with Qin State. Deng State knows nothing about the strength of the Qin army and starts a rashly. The outcome is unpredictable. It is good to win. If you lose and lose too much, Wei and Wu will definitely take advantage of it. In this way, the advantages that Deng State has finally established will be gone.

"That's all, I'll send Shangyong and Xixian to order them to be careful." Deng Sheng sighed and said, "To be honest, Deng Sheng really wanted to rush his army to enter Guanzhong for a moment, but Cui Hao was right. Deng's current strength is not strong enough, so he can only give up.
