Chapter 353: Han River Alliance (3)

After mutual greetings and compliments, we finally got to the point of today. Alliance. This is why Deng Sheng and the King of Qin left the busy government affairs in the country and went to the Han River. The theme of this alliance was to deal with Zhao State without Zhao Xin. Deng Qin was very strong, but it was still much weaker than Zhao State. Therefore, over the years, Deng and Qin did not dare to touch Zhao State easily. Last year, Qin State was very skilled and brave, and had a sneak attack. Then, with the support of Deng State, Chu State seized food from the tiger's mouth and got Pei County from Zhao State. However, even so, fearing the powerful strength of Zhao State, Deng Qin still stopped moving forward to avoid further angering Zhao State.

But the situation is different now. Zhao Xin is dead. Without Zhao Xin, the deterrent power of Zhao State to Deng Qin has been greatly reduced. Although on the surface, Zhang Chuan, the new general of Zhao State, has stabilized the situation, everyone knows that Zhang Chuan will never do like Zhao Xin, and the turmoil in Zhao State's military will continue until the next famous general who can compete with or even surpass Zhao Xin appears.

Now that Zhao State has fallen into the lowest point in 40 years, despite the great victory in the northern border, it still cannot heal the losses of Shangdang and Pei County. In addition, Zhao Xin's sudden death brought more simplicity to Zhao State. This crisis in Zhao State allowed Deng Qin to see the opportunity to catch up and even weaken Zhao State, so Deng Sheng and the King of Qin came to the Han River.

The time for the alliance this time was very tight, because on the one hand, Deng Qin had a large amount of government affairs in China that needed Deng Sheng and the King of Qin to handle, which made Deng Sheng and the King of Qin unable to leave the capital for a long time. On the other hand, shortening the time for the alliance was to avoid being discovered by Zhao State. Therefore, whether it was Deng Sheng or the King of Qin, it was hoped that the alliance could end within two days, and then both sides would go back to prepare for the troops and prepare for the dispatch of troops.

"King Deng, I am very interested in my two countries advancing together in the spring of next year. Zhang Chuan, the general of Zhao State, is in charge of military power and will definitely hope to achieve results to consolidate his position. Therefore, in the face of our dual-front attack, Zhang Chuan will definitely command himself. I believe that King Deng knows better than me. This is an excellent opportunity for us!" King Qin said to Deng Sheng.

Deng Sheng agreed with the words of the King of Qin. In order to consolidate his throne of general, when facing the attacks of Deng and Qin, Zhang Chuan either commanded the center or led his troops to resist the army. However, no matter what, only Zhang Chuan was not taken seriously by Deng Sheng and the King of Qin. Needless to say, the luxurious lineup of Deng State was not something that Zhang Chuan could deal with. Zhang Chuan's ability Deng Sheng had a clear understanding of the Battle of Central Plains and the Battle of Zhao State to attack Qi and Wei State. Not to mention Zhao Xin, even Li Rubing, a younger generation of Zhao State, could not compare with him. Moreover, Zhang Chuan's position as a general has not yet been completely firm, and many people are very dissatisfied with him. Therefore, this time, Zhang Chuan not only has to face Deng Qin's powerful offensive, but also needs to be wary of his internal teammates.

So from the beginning, Zhang Chuan had almost no hope of winning. Now it depends on what Deng and Qin will do to stop. Both Deng Sheng and Qin King knew very well that it would be undesirable to defeat or even destroy Zhao at one time. After all, Zhao's name is not a piece of paper. Although Zhao's name is not as powerful as Deng Qin, Zhao's strength is still stronger than Deng Qin.

"There is no problem to send troops at the beginning of next spring, but I just don't know how ambitious the King of Qin is for this time?" Deng Sheng took over the words of the King of Qin and said that there is no problem to send troops next year. Although Deng did not expand his army after taking over Shu, the accumulation of Shu's century was enough to support Deng's war, so Deng Sheng asked the King of Qin how many benefits he wanted to get before he was willing to stop.

The King of Qin smiled and asked someone to take a map and put it in front of Deng Sheng, saying, "This time, the more benefits you will be, the better, but you can't be insatiable. After all, Zhao State is not easy to mess with, so my target is Shangjun, Henan County and the North Shangdang Party. As long as you get these places, I can stop the army!"

Although the King of Qin said it very easily, Deng Sheng had to admire the King of Qin's appetite. He actually wanted to eat two and a half counties of Zhao State in one battle, and neither was easy to take. Shangjun and Beishangdang were very close to the capital of Zhao State, while Henan County was a barrier between Qin State and the Central Plains. As long as Henan County was taken, Qin's army could appear in the Central Plains at any time, just like he had won Longguan in the past and entered Guanzhong at any time. After taking down the capital of Shangdang and Henan County, the connection between Zhao State's capital of Jinyang and the Central Plains would be greatly weakened, which would be of great benefit to Deng and Qin's next action.

However, Deng Sheng did not find it strange. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don’t take advantage of the situation, God knows when the next opportunity will appear again? So the King of Qin’s big appetite is reasonable.

Deng Sheng carefully considered on the map that the border between Deng and Zhao was nothing more than Henan County, Chenliu County, Chen County, and Guangling County. Deng Sheng did not intend to do so. Now Deng's offensive focus is basically on Ying Rudao, and it is not suitable to move the Jiangdong and Huainan fronts. However, Deng Sheng would not let Guangling County go, but he planned to give Guangling County to his loyal younger brother Chu, appropriately help Chu strengthen its strength and allow it to better perform the task of the Central Plains messenger, which is also beneficial to Deng.

Among the remaining Henan County, Chenliu County and Chen County, Chenliu County and Chen County are the places that must be obtained. As for Henan County, Deng Sheng naturally wanted to do so very much. However, now Henan County is targeted by Qin. Henan County is an important stronghold for Qin to compete for the Central Plains. Qin will not let go. However, Henan County is not very important to Deng State. It doesn’t matter because a Henan County and Qin State are unhappy. However, if not Henan County, Deng State will not have many benefits to sending troops this time, so Deng Sheng turned his attention to Liang County above Chen County.

Although the area is comparable to Chenliu County, Chen County and Liang County, the places that Deng State want are rich in the Central Plains. Except for the size of the territory, the North and the Henan County, the North and the North and the Henan County are not as big as that of Shang County, all other aspects of the land must be completely defeated, so Deng State does not suffer any losses.

"Since the King of Qin is determined to win these local ambitions, I have to become beautiful. Since that's the case, I, Da Deng, will have three counties, Chenliu County, Chen County and Liang County. I wonder what the King of Qin thinks?" Deng Sheng said to the King of Qin.

After hearing Deng Sheng's words, the King of Qin also let go of the big rocks. The Northern Shangdang and Shangjun would not say anything. The King of Qin knew that Deng was definitely eyeing Henan County. The King of Qin was worried that Deng Sheng would compete with him for Henan County. However, after Deng Sheng expressed his thoughts, the King of Qin also breathed a sigh of relief. This result was the best.

The King of Qin smiled and said, "It's so good. I believe that after this battle, Zhao's power to dominate the world will no longer exist!" That's right, Qin wanted Henan County, Deng County, Chenliu County, Chen County, and Liang County. If Deng State helped Chu State take Guangling County, Zhao State would lose half of the Central Plains. Zhao State's three years of hard fighting was lost half of the results. For Zhao State, it was no longer as simple as a trait. It would be a drop in a level directly.

Since the territory was divided, we need to discuss the number of troops sent. Because this time the two countries sent troops together, the King of Qin directly drew all the troops from Hanzhong, leaving only a few thousand people to stay, and directly stated that he sent 200,000 troops, which already occupied nearly two-thirds of the Qin State's military strength. It can be seen how much the King of Qin attached to this time the troops sent.

Seeing Qin's big move, Deng Sheng was not vague and said directly that he would send 300,000 troops, and at the same time he also brought the little brother of Chu to play together. However, Deng Sheng had no accurate idea yet, but Deng Guo could definitely get 300,000 troops, which was beyond doubt.
