Chapter 31

: Swearing to defeat Jing

In Jingyang Hall, Deng Shenggao sat on the throne, and His Highness, civil and military officials gathered together. Deng Sheng's in charge of his rule and his wedding was only one month apart, and the generals guarding everywhere had not left. In addition to participating in Deng Sheng's in charge of his rule and wedding, it was for the candidates for this battle.

Deng Sheng said with a serious expression: "You are the old king, unfortunately, and I am the one who is in power in the old age. I have been working diligently for three years, walking on thin ice. Fortunately, I am supported by the other ministers, and I have achieved peace and stability today. However, the Jing Kingdom in the south has always been thieves. As early as the age of the former king, I have invaded our country and attacked our borders many times. When I ascended the throne, I have been constantly moving and never tired of it. It is really unbearable. As the saying goes, only a thousand days of being a thief, but you cannot defend against thieves for a thousand days. Jing Kingdom has repeatedly provoked, and I am determined to send troops to Jing Kingdom."

Everyone has always been in a serious manner and knows that the highlight is coming.

Deng Sheng looked at everyone and continued: "This time, I discussed with the ministers and decided to send 70,000 troops, with Yue Fei as the head coach, Yang Yanzhao as the deputy commander, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, Pang De, Li Xiucheng, Song Guang, Wang Ce as the generals, Su Hong, Zhang Bin, and Yao Guangxiao as military advisors. This battle was decided by Yue Fei with all his power, and there was no need to report anything."

"Thank you, King!" The people who were named came out one after another, and were all very happy, especially Yue Fei. Deng Sheng's full delegation of power made him very grateful. He secretly decided in his heart that he would take down Jing State this time to repay Deng Sheng's great kindness.

In March of the first year of Qianyuan, Yue Fei swore a swearing battle in Wancheng, and an army of 70,000 went to Xinye, claiming to be 150,000, and rushed straight to Fancheng.

Jingguo Jiangling

Just three days after Yue Fei swore to go to war, the Jing Kingdom had already received news, and King Jing Wang Yao quickly summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures.

The King of Jing was originally a high-ranking clan in Han during the Warring States Period. When Qin destroyed Han, he moved from Han to Jiangling. When Chu and Han fought, he helped King of Han Liu Bang build a city in the Xiangshui River and was highly valued by Liu Bang. After the Battle of Gaixia, Liu Bang made his family king the King of Jing, with a fief of Nanjun and Jiangxia county, and the capital of Xiangyang. He had been fighting with Deng for many years. Later, when the dispute with Deng was at a disadvantage, he moved the capital to Jiangling and planned to go south to develop.

In the palace of the King of Jing, King of Jing, Wang Yao is on the throne. Wang Yao is fifty years old this year. He is over the age of knowing destiny. He looks pale and looks very weak. In recent years, Wang Yao has been working extremely hard, especially in the 13th year of Deng Wangan and the first year of Deng Wangsheng, which has a heavy blow to his body. Now he basically ignores the government affairs and has been hiding in the harem to recuperate. This has also led to all kinds of monsters and monsters in the court running out. The court is in a mess. The princes compete for the throne, making the entire Jing Kingdom look like the sunset.

Now that the Deng army is invading, Wang Yao can no longer hide in the harem. He must deal with such a thing himself.

"Cough, cough, cough...you guys, can you attack the 150,000 troops of Deng State be invaded, can you have a solution?" Wang Yao's face was pale and powerless.

Everyone looked at each other, bowing their heads and not talking. Seeing this scene, Wang Yao felt sad. Jing State was gradually declining in his hands. Especially in recent years, Jing State has been defeated in succession, and the elite domestic forces have been lost. Because of physical reasons, he was forced to hide in the deep palace to rest. He originally hoped that his sons could help him, but he did not expect that they all fought for the life-and-death struggle for the throne, resulting in the huge Jing State no one available now.

"Reporting to the king, I think our country is still fighting for strength before it is over." At this time, Cai Mao, the Supreme Commander of Jing State, made a list of words. Originally, after the Battle of Xinye, Cai Mao lost 25,000 elite troops of Jing State, and Wang Yao was exempted from his position as a general. However, now the army of Deng State is approaching, and no one is available to Jing State. Considering the influence of the Cai clan in Jing State, Wang Yao asked Cai Mao to restore his post and continue to command the troops of Jing State.

"What are the tricks of the general? Come on quickly." Wang Yao asked Cai Mao as if he had caught the last straw.

Cai Mao said: "King, although Deng State is known as a 150,000 army, I think Deng's army will definitely not exceed 80,000, and our country still has 60,000 troops. Although most of them are new recruits without battle formations, defending the city is not a problem. If the Deng army wants to attack our Dajing, there are only two roads. One is to go south from Xinye and attack Jiangling, and the other is to attack Jiangxia. There are two strong cities in Jiangling, Fancheng and Xiangyang. As long as the city is held firm, the Deng army will never be able to cross the Han River and invade Jiangling.

Although there is no danger to defend in Jiangxia, Xiling and Xiakou are extremely strong. As long as we defend these two places, no matter how many cities Jiangxia has lost, they can be recovered one by one as long as the Deng army retreats. Although Deng's battles have ended in victory in recent years, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses. This time we go south, we must have the intention of a quick battle. As long as our army can hold on, the Deng army will inevitably retreat over time. In this way, our Dajing crisis can be resolved."

"In this way, then this battle will be fully commanded by the general. I hope the general can live up to expectations and repel Deng's army." Wang Yao was very calm when he heard Cai Mao say this, so he handed over the command of the army to Cai Mao and returned to the harem to continue recuperation.

After the scattered dynasty, the prime minister of Jing State, the general of chariots and cavalry, Huang Tong, and Pang Yin gathered in the Cai Mansion. People all thought that Jing State was the leader of the Wang family, but they didn't know that as early as the Jing State moved its capital to Jiangling, the military and political power of Jing State gradually fell into the hands of the four major families of Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang. The four major families, Cai, Huang, were in charge of the military, Kuai, and Pang, had been in charge of the Jing State's government for decades.

Kuai Yi said: "Cai Mao, tell me the truth. Are you sure that you can block Deng Jun this time?"

Cai Mao smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister Kuai, to be honest, I really don't have much confidence in my heart. Deng's military's achievements in recent years have been too amazing. Even the arrogant Han Kingdom was defeated by Deng, let alone my defeated general." Speaking of this, Cai Mao's expression was dismal. He was really afraid of Deng Kingdom. Since he joined the army, he dared not say that he had won every battle, but he rarely had any defeats. However, both major defeats in his lifetime were defeated by Deng Kingdom, which led to him not being able to raise the courage when facing Deng Kingdom. This time, if Jing Kingdom had not reached the moment of life and death, he would not have fought against Deng Kingdom again.

When everyone heard this, they felt cold and looked depressed. Cai Mao could be said to be the best person in Jing State to lead troops to fight, but now he said he was not sure. Wouldn't he say that Jing State is in danger this time?

Seeing the expressions of several people, Cai Mao knew that his words just now were too damning, and hurriedly said, "But don't worry, Fancheng and Xiangyang are a strong city, so it's not a problem to defend it. As long as Fancheng and Xiangyang are still there, Deng's army will never be able to attack Jiangling."
