Chapter 356: Deng Sheng’s guilt

Deng Sheng looked at Deng Ai who was still unwilling to give up his thoughts after being scolded by him. He really didn't know why Deng Ai and the others could persist so much, so he sighed and said, "Deng Ai, do you remember what I told you when you were in charge of the Yulin Guard?"

Deng Ai nodded and said, "I remember, the king told me that the royal family was weak, and in the entire royal family, the person the king trusted the most is the minister. The king hopes that the minister can guard this last fortress for the Great Deng and the king!"

"Very good, it seems you remember it all, but today you are repaying my trust in you? Do you know that you are like forcing a palace now!" Deng Sheng said in a cold voice.

Forced to palace, this is a big topic and a crime that implicates the nine tribes. After hearing this, Deng Ai knelt on the ground in fear and said, "I dare not, but the king, me and others are soldiers. The glory of soldiers is to fight on the battlefield, wrap the body around, and ask the king to fulfill it!"

"You only remember the glory of soldiers, but do you remember the responsibilities of soldiers? What is the responsibilities of Yulinwei? Tell me loudly!" Deng Sheng was so angry that he shouted at Deng Ai and shouted at Deng Ai with anger.

"The duty of a soldier is to defend his country, and the duty of the Yulin Guard is to protect Wancheng and protect the king!" Deng Ai replied loudly.

"Very good, it seems you haven't forgotten. Since that's the case, you go back, there is no need to mention this matter!" Deng Sheng nodded and issued a direct order to expel the guest.

But Deng Ai's mission this time has not been completed, so how could he be willing to leave? He said directly: "King, the Yulin Guard must protect the King and Wancheng. If the King agrees to go to the expedition with the army, our Yulin Guard generals can participate in the northern expedition without taking away the soldiers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard and participate in the northern expedition in his personal name. In this way, the Yulin Guard is still protecting the King and Wancheng!"

Deng Ai was very smart. He did not propose to join the war in his personal name at the first time, but first proposed to take the Yulin Guard to the expedition. He knew that Deng Sheng would not agree to the Yulin Guard leaving Wancheng, but after the Yulin Guard participated in the northern expedition and was rejected by Deng Sheng, he proposed to join the war in his personal name and not take away the Yulin Guard's soldiers and soldiers. Deng Sheng had to consider it.

As expected, when Deng Ai proposed this compromise, Deng Sheng hesitated. Wancheng can now be said to be safer than the capitals of any country in the world. Even if Deng Ai and others went to the north to fight, as long as the Yulin Guard's troops were still in Wancheng, there would be no problem with Wancheng, because without Deng Ai and others, only Deng Sheng could mobilize Yulin Guard, and even the General Governor's Office, so there was no change.

Deng Ai was hesitant when he saw Deng Sheng, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He then struck while the iron was hot and said: "King, I am a few years older than the King. Now I am over 10 years old, but I have never been on a real battlefield. I have been in charge of the Yulin Guard for twenty years. I have been diligent in asking myself, and I have never let down the King's trust in the ministers, nor have I ever made any requests to the King. This is the first time I made a request to the King, and it may be the last time. I ask the King to help me. If the King thinks that the minister is wrong, when the Northern Expedition returns, the King can dismiss me as the General of the Yulin Guard!" If Deng Ai was right at the beginning, then he would be moved with emotion now.

After hearing Deng Ai's words, Deng Sheng's thoughts couldn't help but return to the autumn twenty years ago. It was the first time Deng Sheng met Deng Ai. Deng Ai, like himself, was still a teenager. When Deng Ju and Fang Hanchen rebelled, they sent killers to assassinate him, and they were shot into an arrow and fell into a coma. It was Deng Ai, Xue Rengui and Gao Shun who led thousands of Yulin troops to guard the palace tightly. It was not until he woke up that Deng Ju and Fang Hanchen's ambitions were shattered. Speaking of which, Deng Sheng was ashamed of Deng Ai.

Deng Ai is already forty years old, and he doesn't know if he has a chance to go to the battlefield again. Among the twelve guards of Deng State, except Wudang Guards, which general of the guard was not of great military achievements. Deng Ai had not made any achievements in his merits but was in charge of the most elite Yulin Guard in Deng State. Although Deng Sheng knew Deng Ai's ability, outsiders did not know that this would raise questions about Deng Ai, believing that Deng Ai was not worthy of his name.

After Deng Ai said this, Deng Sheng was completely shaken. Perhaps it was time to let Deng Ai go out. After staying in Wancheng for twenty years, Deng Ai probably had forgotten what the battlefield looked like. After a long time, Deng Sheng sighed and said, "Deng Ai, I have made you stationed in Wancheng for twenty years. Have you ever blamed me?"

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "No, although the king let me stay in Wancheng for twenty years, this is precisely the king's trust in me. I am very grateful. The reason why I proposed to participate in the Northern Expedition is that I am unwilling to accept it. I am a general of the Yulin Guard, but I have no military achievements. Not only me, but the generals of the Yulin Guard are the same. I am not like I retreated from the Yulin Guard with the doubts of the world. Therefore, I need to prove myself, so I boldly propose to the king to participate in the Northern Expedition next year!"

Deng Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Deng Ai, even if you don't say it, I know that you have resentment and unwillingness in your heart. Not only you, but even the generals of the Yulin Guard. Since you all want to go, then go. Yulin Guard is the Great Deng Imperial Guard. As long as I am in Wancheng one day, Yulin Guard will never leave. However, as a general, you cannot have no soldiers under your command, otherwise you will do nothing even if you go to the Central Plains. This is what I allow you to take away ten thousand Yulin Guards to join the Northern Expedition Army. But you must remember that this is your only opportunity and will not be there again in the future. I hope you will seize it!"

Deng Sheng originally planned to send troops of 300,000, but now he added 10,000 Yulin Guards. In the northern expedition next year, Deng State will send troops of 310,000 troops, but there is no difference between 300,000 and 310,000, and it does not put a lot of pressure on Deng State.

Hearing Deng Sheng's words, Deng Ai was overjoyed and cried with joy: "I am the generals of the Yulin Guards, thanking the King for their accomplishment!" Being able to take away ten thousand Yulin Guards will be of great help to the generals of the Yulin Guards when they are in the Central Plains, so that they and the generals of the Yulin Guards will not be the commander of the bachelor's commanders.

Deng Sheng waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. This is the reward for you who have worked diligently to guard me and Wancheng for twenty years. After all, I am ashamed of you Yulin Guards. This time, I will be a small compensation for you. Since the matter has been decided, you can go down!"

"Here! I'm leaving!" Deng Ai bowed to Deng Sheng and turned around and left Ganyang Palace with a happy mood, preparing to return to the Yulin Guard's headquarters to announce this good news to the Yulin Guard generals.

Looking at Deng Ai leaving, Deng Sheng felt that things were in trouble. Originally, there would be six guards who could not be on the list when going out to fight. As we all know, the Yulin Guards must not be able to participate in the Northern Expedition. However, now that the Yulin Guards are making such a fuss, and Deng Sheng feels guilty of the Yulin Guards, so he specializes the Yulin Guards to take 10,000 Yulin Guards to participate in the Northern Expedition. If other guards know that the Yulin Guards can participate in the Northern Expedition after a fight, there will definitely be opinions. It can be imagined that the Deng State military will probably have a storm next, and Deng Sheng will have a headache next.

The next day, Deng Sheng summoned all the ministers and announced the list of the Central Plains to go to the Central Plains next year. Yue Fei was the main general, Chang Yuchun was also the deputy generals, Longxiang Guard, Shenxing Guard, Tiger Wing Guard, Yingyang Guard, Lingshe Guard, Longwu Guard, Deng Ai, Gao Changgong, Shi Wengong, Hua Xiong, and Murong Chong led 10,000 Yulin Guards to participate in the battle, with a total of 310,000 troops. At the same time, the generals of the guards who participated in the battle all returned to Wancheng at the end of the year and formulated a plan for advancement.

Except for the 10,000 Yulin Guards, the other lineups were expected by everyone, but someone expressed different opinions on the list of Yulin Guards who led 10,000 Yulin Guards to go on the battle.

Jiang Wan, who has never interfered in military affairs, directly objected this time: "King, the Yulin Guard is my Great Deng Imperial Guard. Except for the King of the King left Wancheng, he must guard Wancheng the rest of the time. This time, the Yulin Guard generals brought 10,000 Yulin Guards to participate in the northern expedition. If the guards who were not on the list learned about it, they might be in a turbulent relationship. Please think twice!"

Although the rest of the people did not directly oppose the Yulin Guard going to the war with the army, they could tell from their expression that they also disagree, and they all showed hopeful eyes, hoping that Deng Sheng could take back his life.

However, since Deng Sheng made the decision, he would not change it easily, so he said: "This time, the generals of the Yulin Guards went to the army to fight with me. If others have any objections, then come to Wancheng to find me in person. This is the first time that the generals of the Yulin Guards have stepped onto the battlefield in the past few years. It is said that I am ashamed of the Yulin Guards, so I will never change this time."
