Chapter 222 Deng Guo's Sudden Armistice
Chapter 222: Deng Guo who suddenly ceased to truce
When Cui Hao said this, Deng Sheng was confused. What does this mean? If you don’t increase troops or attack, is it difficult to give up destroying Wu?
Deng Sheng asked Cui Hao in confusion: "What does Cui Qing mean? Is it necessary to let me withdraw my troops and give up the plan to destroy Wu?"
Cui Hao shook his head and said, "No, the king, destroying Wu is already the general trend, so how can you give up halfway? The reason why I say this is because it is more beneficial to our army's destruction of Wu."
Cui Hao's words made Deng Sheng and others even more confused. It was not that Su Hong and Jiang Wan were far behind Cui Hao, but that the few were different. Jiang Wan was very good at government affairs, Su Hong was good at tactics, while Cui Hao had a strong view of the overall situation. He was good at strategy and often saw more and more far than Su Hong and Jiang Wan.
Seeing Deng Sheng and others looking confused, Cui Hao smiled and said, "The king is like this. Now that Wu has brought the last strength to the battlefield, this will definitely have a great impact on the people's livelihood of Wu, and even completely destroy the people's livelihood of Wu. Therefore, I would suggest that the king maintain a wait-and-see attitude."
"Zhou Kai and Lu Feng are both familiar with military affairs. They must know that even if these 200,000 people were brought to the battlefield, they would not be our opponents. So unless they had to be absolutely necessary, they would not take the initiative to attack our army, so we do not need to be anxious. On the contrary, as long as our army maintains an attacking state, the Wu Kingdom will not dare to easily dismiss the 200,000 people. In this way, the farmland in the Wu Kingdom will be abandoned. In the long run, even if our army does not attack, there will be problems in the Wu Kingdom. Moreover, the King of Wu said this, and the people's hearts will be lost. In the future, Jiangdong will come to our great Deng rule, and the people's hearts will be easily supported." Cui Hao said.
After Cui Hao said this, everyone suddenly realized that this was a conspiracy. I won’t fight you, but I won’t retreat. I will be stalemate with you. Naturally, there is no problem with Deng State. The money, grain and materials seized from Chencheng are enough for more than 100,000 people to spend several years in Jiangdong, but the Wu State is not able to do so. In recent years, the Wu State has frequent wars and consumed more severely. In addition, the loss of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Yuzhang has caused the Wu State to lose a large amount of money and grain. In addition, in order to support the war, the Wu State has begun to stop production. The money and grain stored in Danyang and Wu County will not last long. At that time, there may be a major riot in Wu State, and even a large number of people can rise up.
Cui Hao's idea was very satisfied with Deng Sheng. In this way, he would not have to continue to increase troops in Jiangdong or give up his plan to destroy Wu. It was a killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, once this plan came out, the demise of Wu was a foregone conclusion.
Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, Cui Qing is indeed a minister of the country. Such a clever plan has reversed the dilemma of our army at once."
"The king has praised it, I am ashamed of me!" Cui Hao said humbly.
Soon, a decree was sent to the front line by a quick horse. When Yue Fei received this decree, he was confused and confused. Later, under Zhu Sheng's explanation, Yue Fei felt the power of this plan. As a big bull who proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who built high walls, accumulated grain, and slowly praised the king's Jiuzi Mantra, Zhu Sheng knew very well the importance of money and grain to an army and a country, so he could easily interpret the meaning of this decree.
Since Wancheng has made a plan, Yue Fei just needs to implement it. At the same time, Yue Fei also sent someone to order Chang Yuchun from Lujiang to stop the attack, but he still needs to act as an attack at any time, so that the Wu Kingdom dare not easily disband the army. If necessary, he can even launch some painless attacks.
Deng Jun's strange behavior also made Zhou Kai feel very strange. However, as a top-notch general in the world and his political ability is not low, Zhou Kai knew Deng Jun's true intention after thinking about it seriously, but he had no choice. This is an open conspiracy. With the current situation of Wu, it is impossible to resolve it. After all, they are fighting against your own key points. If your own problems are not solved, there is no way to deal with them. In fact, the final solution is to take the initiative to attack. However, Zhou Kai and even his own situation, these new recruits are on the battlefield, and I am afraid they don't even know how to die.
The Deng army did not attack or retreat, and the Wu army did not dare to take the initiative, and even dared to disperse the newly recruited 200,000 farmers. The two armies were just consuming this. As time passed day by day, the Wu State became increasingly powerless. In order to hold on, the King of Wu even sent people to collect grain storage from the people, which made the entire Wu State complain. Even Wu State Cheng was very desperate compared to this, so he simply ignored it and hid in his mansion and left the director.
Zhang Chao's concession and the power of the Wu State instantly fell into the hands of Huang Er and Lin Yuan, two famous slander ministers of the Wu State. The plan of "the whole people are fighting to extinguish the waters" was originally from the hands of the two of them, and now it is even more difficult to implement it.
Although the country is already a mess now, there is no bad news on the front line, and it also allows the King of Wu to live a comfortable life for a few days.
Little did they know that all this was under the control of Deng State. According to Cui Hao's plan, Wu State did more than it would do in order to support the front line, and it would be more beneficial to occupying the people's hearts in the future after occupying Wu State. It can be said that it will be a killing of multiple goals.
As the Deng army stopped the offensive, the war in Jiangdong also gained a brief silence, but the war in Guanzhong continued, but it soon became silent.
Since the Battle of Mei County, the Han army has basically given up its martial arts. The city west of Meiyang has become a city. Later, under the strong offensive of the Qin army, the Han army retreated step by step and finally withdrew from the Youfufeng area and retreated to Jingzhao.
However, by this time, the Qin army had begun to show weakness. After all, the Qin State had only the barren land of Xiliang, which could support the 300,000 army eastward expedition and had gathered the whole country's money, grain and materials. Although the Qin army has achieved great victory now, the money, grain and military resources have been almost consumed, so Bai Qi no longer attacked the main force of the Han army in Jingzhao, but turned to capture the northern land, the peaceful, and the Hanzhong.
On August 15, the 16th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army captured Nanzheng, the Hanzhong Prefecture, and completely occupied the entire Hanzhong County. In addition, the northern territory occupied before and Anding counties, the Qin army had already compressed the Han power in the narrow areas of Jingzhao, Hedong, Hongnong, and Zuo Fengyi, and could not advance or retreat.
In Chang'an and Weiyang Palace, King Liu Xie of Han was already ill in bed. In fact, when he was in Yong County, the King of Han was already frightened and his body began to deteriorate slowly. In addition, the defeat on the front line, the loss of stability in Hanzhong and the northern part of Han Dynasty made the King of Han's body even worse, and it seemed that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was exhausted.
Cao Qun, Li Bu and other important officials of the Han Dynasty, as well as the Han Dynasty crown prince Liu Zhen, stood in front of the Han Dynasty's bed.
"Cough! Cough!" Suddenly, the sleeping King of Han opened his eyes, and Liu Zhen and others hurriedly walked up to help the King of Han up, greeting the King of Han with concern.
Faced with the concern of everyone, the King of Han was fine, and then he thought to Cao Qun and asked, "Cao Xiang, don't know what the situation on the front line is?" Now, except for the war between the front line and the Qin army, there is nothing that can be remembered by the King of Han in his heart. So when the King of Han woke up, he immediately asked about the front line.
Cao Qun replied: "When the King returned to the King, the Qin army had been hoarding troops in Huaili after the stability of the Hanzhong and the northern part, and did not continue to advance eastward. Our army, under the command of General Cao, had already arranged defenses in Xiliu, Du You, Feng, Hao and other places. Please rest assured that everything on the front line is safe."
This has been the only one among the bad news that the Han King has received over the past period of time. Although it is a bit funny, it is enough to be blocked.
The King of Han smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good, that's good, by the way, I've been feeling unwell recently, so in the future, the prince will be supervised by the state, Cao Cao, Li Qing, and the veteran general Xiahou. However, all the war reports on the front line still need to be given to me."
"Here!" everyone responded.
