Chapter 4: The Storm of Xi County (I)

After listening to Cheng Yu's analysis, Deng Shengshen agreed that the Han country had great achievements and could not have spent too much energy on Deng. Now he suddenly attacked, which was nothing more than thinking that Deng's current state was very weak and dispatched a hundred thousand troops, intending to destroy Deng's state in one go before Qin and Zhao reacted. As long as he could not defend himself, the Han country could not defeat Deng's state for a short time, and Qin and Zhao would teach Han country to be human.

"I wonder what you guys think?" Although I agree with Cheng Yu's plan, Deng Sheng had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable, so I still have to ask these old ministers about their opinions.

"King, you must not. The Han army is a tiger and wolf army, and it is definitely not comparable to those of the Jing Kingdom. The 60,000 army cannot guarantee that it can block the Han army, let alone just 50,000. I think that we should concentrate our troops to fight the Han army, so we must not be careless." The Shizhong Kong You objected.

"What do the Prime Minister and General think?" Deng Sheng didn't want to pay attention to a corrupt scholar like Kong Yoo, and directly asked Cai Feng and Huang Biao for their opinions.

"Returning to the king, I think it is feasible, but I just don't know if I can support the Qin and Zhao sending troops with 50,000 troops to resist the 100,000 Han troops?" After all, Cai Feng is also an intelligent person, and he can still analyze the situation clearly, but he is just a little worried.

This is, Huang Biao, the first commander of the Deng army, answered his question, "Don't worry, if the Han army wants to advance to Wancheng, it must first break Xixian. Since the founding of Deng Kingdom, Xixian has been the gateway to the west. The city is solid, with sufficient food, grass and weapons. If it is held, even a hundred thousand Han troops will be difficult to break."

Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the general commanded 15,000 troops to Xixian County. General Li Tianhu, General Annan Liao Ming obeyed the orders and sent Ye County to Ye County to draw 15,000 troops to Xixian County. General Anbei Shinai could lead 5,000 troops to Ye County to guard against Wei and Han."

"Here!" Huang Biao and Li Tianhu received the order.

"King, General Huang, General Li and General Liao all went to Xi County. General Shi went to Ye County. Who in the south led his troops to fight against Jing State?" Cai Feng saw that Deng Sheng sent all the generals to the west and north, and was very worried about Xinye in the south.

Deng Sheng smiled and said, "The Prime Minister doesn't need to worry. When I was invading the residence, there were two generals under my command that could be used. Chang Yuchun, where is Yang Yanzhao?"

"I am here!" Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao came out.

"Yang Yanzhao was also appointed as General Andong, Chang Yuchun was appointed as General Anxi, with Yang Yanzhao as the main general, Chang Yuchun as the deputy general, Cheng Yu was the military advisor, and led an army of 10,000 south to Xinye, and if Jing's army dared to come, they would attack head-on! Yulin General Fang Hanchen led the Yulin Army to guard Wancheng!" Deng Sheng said.

"I will receive the order!"

When the ministers saw that Deng Sheng actually regarded two unqualified newcomers as chief generals, they all planned to object, but when they saw that Prime Minister Cai Feng had no movement, they stopped.

It’s not that Cai Feng didn’t want to object, but that he couldn’t find a reason to object. Deng’s country lost too many elite soldiers and generals in the battle of Yangdi, resulting in the fact that no one was available to Deng’s country now. In addition, Deng Sheng’s move was obviously to gather military power. How could Cai Feng come out to oppose Deng Sheng?

Xixian County

After Huang Biao led the army to arrive, he immediately stood firm and cleared the fields and defended the city. The main general of the Han army this time was Fan Yi, one of the three generals of the Han Dynasty. Fan Yi has been guarding Guanzhong for many years. He is known as the three generals of the Han Dynasty together with Cao Tian, ​​who guarded Hangu Pass and Zhou Shen, who guarded Sanguan. He has made great achievements in his military service, which shows the importance of the Han Dynasty on this dispatch.

At the entrance of Xixian County, Huang Biao brought Li Tianhu and Liao Ming to the entrance of the city and saw the dense Han army camp outside the city. A large banner with Fan's character "Fan" was erected above the camp gate, which was Fan Yi's commanding flag.

"Fan Yi is worthy of being one of the three generals of the Han Dynasty. Just looking at his camp arrangement, you can tell that he is good at governing his army. As expected, there are no soldiers under his reputation. This battle must be a fierce battle." Huang Biao's face was gloomy. Although he was known as the number one general of Deng State, he was under great pressure to fight against famous generals like Fan Yi.

"The general needs no worries. Now I have 50,000 elite troops stationed in my county. As long as I hold on to the city, not to mention a mere 100,000 Han troops, I will not be afraid even if I come again 100,000." Li Tianhu disagreed.

"I hope so!"

The Han army was in charge of the tent, and Fan Yi summoned all the generals under his command to discuss strategies for siege.

"Everyone, Huang Biao, the general of Deng State, has led his troops to Xi County. I wonder what good ideas do you have in the 50,000 Deng troops stationed in Xi County?" Fan Yi asked.

"Why should the general be worried? What is the only thing Deng Guo has to say about it? Tomorrow, the last general will lead troops to attack the city, defeat Huang Biao, advance to Wancheng, and capture Deng Sheng's son alive." The person who said this was Xu Kang, who was known as the most powerful general of the Han Dynasty. Xu Kang also had such strength. For many years, Xu Kang had fought with Qin, Zhao, Wei and other major powers, but had never encountered any enemy.

Fan Yi disagreed with Xu Kang's bold statement. He knew very well that Xu Kang would be a sharp knife if he was allowed to charge into battle, but if he led the army, he would be a scumbag.

"I wonder what Mr. Chen has a plan?" In addition to sending powerful generals like Xu Kang, the Han State also sent an important official as a counselor just in case.

Chen Lin, a member of the Han Dynasty, was a confidant official of the King of Han. He was resourceful. When Qin State attacked the country, it was Chen Lin who offered advice to repel the Qin army. Therefore, Chen Lin had a high prestige among the Han army.

Chen Lin said: "General Fan, now we don't know the facts of Deng's army. Why don't we go to analyze the county's challenges tomorrow and explore the facts of Deng's army and make a decision?"

Fan Yi nodded. There was no good idea at this time, so he had to follow Chen Lin's method.

Early the next morning, the Han army's first powerful general Xu Kang came to Xixian to challenge.

"Listen to Deng Jun on the city, I am the general of Han State Xu Kang. You and others are about to leave the city and die soon!"

Huang Biao and others had already arrived at the city. Seeing Xu Kang so arrogant under the city, they were furious. Li Tianhu was about to go down to face the challenge, but was stopped by Huang Biao.

"If you pass the order, you don't need to pay attention to it. Everyone sticks to the city. Without the orders of our general, no one can leave the city." Huang Biao ordered.

"Here!" Li Tianhu was still not good at disobeying Huang Biao's orders, so he had to go down and organize the soldiers to prepare to defend the city.
