: Chen State attacks Han

The rebellion of Deng Ju and Fang Hanchen had no effect on the foundation of Deng State. Deng State was still prosperous and developing under the leadership of Deng Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. During these three years, all the countries in the world are in a state of balance and do not dare to provoke a war at will.

"Haha, Father, come and chase me." In the imperial garden of Wancheng Royal Palace, a two-year-old boy was happily running, and behind him, Deng Sheng, the king of Deng Kingdom, was chasing with a smile.

Deng Sheng chased the little boy with a smile on his face and said, "Hao'er, run slowly, be careful."

The little boy met Deng Hao and was the son of Deng Sheng and Cai Yan. Three years ago, Deng Sheng had just dealt with some problems left over from the rebellion of Deng Ju and Fang Hanchen. News of Cai Yan's pregnancy came from the harem. Ten months later, in July of the second year of Qianyuan, Cai Yan successfully gave birth to Deng Sheng's first son.

Deng Sheng was more motivated after having a son. It was different from having a son and not having a son. Even Deng Sheng, a king, could not avoid it. Without children, all the civil and military officials in the court kept their hearts up. Especially Deng Sheng had experienced assassination and almost fell into trouble. Therefore, the ministers of Deng State were always very concerned about Deng Sheng's descendants. Deng Sheng's marriage for half a year, and there was no news about Queen Cai Yan. There were already ministers who wrote letters to Deng Sheng, hoping that Deng Sheng would accept his concubines as the harem, but Deng Sheng laughed at him and gave them to him.

"Report to the king, Shizhong Su is asking for a meeting." Just as Deng Sheng and his son were fighting, an eunuch came to report and said that Su Hong is asking for a meeting.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Please go to Ganyang Palace by Shizhong Su." After that, he handed Deng Hao to Cai Yan and went to Ganyang Palace by himself.

After Deng Sheng arrived at Ganyang Palace, Su Hong was already waiting here.

Deng Sheng asked Su Hong: "What's wrong with Su Qing entering the palace so anxiously?"

Su Hong said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the State of Chen has attacked Han."

Deng Sheng frowned and said, "Is the news true?"

Su Hong nodded and said, "The news is accurate. This is from the Mingjing member of King Chen's capital Chencheng. It is said that it was supported by Chu State, and Chen State has sent troops."

Mingjing was established by Deng Sheng three years ago in order to strengthen intelligence for various countries. In three years, Mingjing members spread all over the country through commercial activities, constantly sending information from all over the country. As Deng Sheng's confidant, Su Hong knew that Deng Sheng's next target was South Korea, so Su Hong always attached great importance to South Korea's intelligence work. As soon as the news of Chen's military sent, Su Hong immediately entered the palace to see Deng Sheng.

Deng Sheng frowned with the support of Chu. South Korea has always been the fat meat of Deng. As early as the reign of King Wuzhuang, Deng would have taken action to annex Korea. If it weren't for the Han and Wei rescued South Korea, South Korea would have been destroyed by Deng. Later, after Deng Sheng ascended the throne, Deng did not give up his dream of annexing South Korea. However, at that time, Deng Sheng learned from King Wuzhuang's failure and chose to strengthen his strength first. Annex the Jing Kingdom in the south. After annexing Jing Kingdom, Deng Sheng kept recuperating and accumulated strength. Now Deng's country has 300,000 armies, which is already a powerful country that cannot be ignored in the world. Deng Sheng also plans to put the destruction of South Korea in a few days. But now, Chen attacked South Korea with the support of Chu, which disrupted Deng Sheng's plan.

Deng Sheng frowned and said, "Su Qing, do you think Chen State can destroy South Korea this time?"

Su Hongdao: "It's hard to say. South Korea is weak, but its position is very important. If South Korea alone is based on it, it will definitely not be able to stop it. Now it depends on Wei. If Wei sends troops to rescue him, Han will not be destroyed. I just don't know if Wei has the courage to go to war with Chu. After all, Wei has been defeated by Chu over the past few decades."

Deng Sheng nodded. The news behind Chen's sending troops to South Korea was the support of Chu. It would probably spread soon. Wei has fought with Chu in dozens of battles over the past few decades, with more defeats and fewer defeats, and has been suppressed by Chu. If Wei is really afraid that Chu will not dare to send troops, Han is afraid that South Korea will really become history.

"Su Qing, how do you think I, Deng, should deal with it?" Deng Sheng asked Su Hong.

Su Hong bowed and said, "I dare to ask the king, do you still want the land of Yingchuan?" Su Hong did not answer directly, but instead asked Deng Sheng if he still wanted the land of Yingchuan.

"Of course I want the land of Yingchuan." Deng Sheng answered without thinking. If Deng State wants to become a powerful country like Chu and Zhao State, Yingchuan is a must-have land. If Yingchuan is given up and allowed to be annexed by Chen State, then Deng State's rise will probably be in no time.

Su Hong seemed very satisfied with Deng Sheng's return and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I suggest that the king watch the change. Now that the battle between Chen and Han has just begun, there is no one-sided situation. Neither Wei nor Chu will directly send troops to intervene in this battle. They will only take action until South Korea cannot hold on or Chen is defeated. If South Korea cannot hold on then, Wei will send troops, the war will change from a confrontation between Chen and Han to a dispute between Chu and Wei. In this way, our country can watch the battle between tigers without paying attention. However, if Wei does not send troops, then if the king wants to seek the land of Yingchuan, he will send troops to compete with Chen. In this way, our country will have to get into evil with Chu."

The importance of Yingchuan to Deng State is self-evident, but Chu State is also the most important ally of Deng State. When Deng State was able to defeat Han State and destroy Jing State, Chu State also made great efforts, so Deng Sheng has always cherished it very much. He sent people to Pengcheng every year to maintain the relationship between the two sides. However, this time, Chu State supported Chen State to attack South Korea, which made Deng Sheng very unhappy.

Deng Sheng sighed and said, "Su Qing, what is your purpose in supporting Chen's destruction of Han?"

Su Hongdao: "Returning to the king, I think the reason why Chu State supports Chen's attack on Han is to check and balance our Da Deng."

"Checking and balancing the big Deng?" Deng Sheng asked.

Su Hong nodded and said, "Yes, when our Da Deng formed an alliance with Chu, he was the weakest among all the Chu allies, and he was also facing the danger of the destruction of the Han State. Therefore, Chu State strongly supported Da Deng. However, under the leadership of the King, Da Deng defeated Han State and annexed Jing State in just six years. Now he has 300,000 armors, and his strength is on the front line than Chu State. This is far beyond Chu State's expectations. In order to prevent Da Deng, an ally from breaking out of his control, Chu State will definitely support an ally to check and balance Da Deng. Among all the allies of Chu State, Chen State is the most suitable for strength. Moreover, once Chen State destroys South Korea and occupys Yingchuan, it will border with Da Deng. Once Da Deng goes against Chu State's intention, Chen State will be the first to attack Da Deng."

"Hateful!" Deng Sheng gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard and said, "Su Qing, I have decided that if South Korea cannot support it and Wei State does not send troops to rescue me, I, the Great Deng, will send troops to compete with Chen State for Yingchuan. I will order the army to gather in Wancheng and send troops at any time. Since Chu State wants to play tricks with me, I will accompany me to the end!"

"The king is wise!" Su Hong was very happy about Deng Sheng's decision. In his opinion, although Deng's country is not as weak as Chu, Wei, Qi, Zhao and other countries, it is not much weaker. It is hard to say who wins and who loses in a fight. Deng's country doesn't have to swallow his anger.
