Chapter 427: The army is coming to Dianchi City

On the 5th of the third month of the Qianyuan year, Wudangwei and the barbarian army met outside Dianchi City. General Deng Zhong, the Wudangwei, went deep into the enemy's rear and successively subdued the Wu tribe. The Zhu tribe, the two largest barbarian tribes, then praised Deng's country for taking hundreds of thousands of people from the entire southern middle barbarians, believing that this laid a solid foundation for Deng's future governance of the southern middle ground.

Faced with Deng Zhong's praise, Su Yun was very humble and introduced Wugan and Zhu Shang to Deng Zhong, saying: "It was both the general's decision-making achievements, and his subordinates dared not take credit. By the way, the two are Wugan, the leader of the Wu tribe, and Zhu Shang, the leader of the Zhu tribe. If they had not understood the righteousness of the great power, the land in the southern center would not have been pacified so quickly!"

"Wugan (Zhu Shang) has met the general!" Seeing Su Yun introduce himself to Deng Zhong, Wugan and Zhu Shang also bowed their heads and bowed.

When Deng Zhong saw the humble attitude of Wugan and Zhu Shang, he did not have the arrogance of the leader of the clan at all, and his favorability soared. He helped them up and said, "The two clan leaders do not need to be polite. Please get up quickly. The two clan leaders are very happy. When the army returns to the court, please be sure to accompany the two clan leaders. I believe that the king also wants to meet the two clan leaders!" As for the two giants of the barbarians in the South Central, Deng will definitely not allow them to stay in Nanzhong. It is necessary to go to Wancheng. As for how to arrange them in the future, it is the issue that Deng Sheng and the ministers in the court should consider. The biggest task now is to conquer Dianchi City, take down this southern capital, completely destroy the southern country, and complete the cause of conquest of the south.

After entering the central army tent together, everyone sat in separate seats. Deng Zhong sat in the main seat and said to everyone: "Everyone, it has been four months since our army left Nanguang and three months after entering Nanzhong area. Now the temperature in the Nanzhong area is gradually getting hotter. As the summer approaches, it is urgent to conquer Dianchi City!"

Deng Sheng’s mission to Wudangwei was to take over the southern country before entering Xia, but now there is not much time left before entering Xia. However, this is not because the generals of Wudangwei lacked abilities, but because before the war, Deng Zhong spent two months to prepare. In fact, since entering Nanzhong, the Deng army must conquer the attack and win the battle, which is already very good, but now the time is too tight, so there is not much time left for Wudangwei.

"General, as we understand, before our army arrived at Dianchi City, the southern country had made up its mind to defend the country, and temporarily pieced together 10,000 troops and horses, led by Gu Chang, the veteran general of the southern country, and constantly strengthened the city walls. It seemed that they were going to fight to the death." Deng Han came out to introduce the situation of Dianchi City to everyone. As early as when Deng's army was still in Tongse City, Deng Han sent a large number of spies to the Dianchi City area to understand the situation of Dianchi City, and also knew what the attitude of the southern country is now, how many soldiers and horses there are in Dianchi City, and who will lead it.

After hearing this, Deng Zhong smiled disdainfully and said, "I am overestimating my ability when I am a mantised by a chariot. Do you really think that I am a mere 10,000 mobs can stop me? However, I am a little interested in this veteran southern general named Guchang. With this famous southern general withering and everyone in the country is in danger, he dares to come out to take charge of the military power of the southern country and confront our army. He is very brave!"

At this time, Zhu Shang, who had been living in Dianchi City, saw Deng Zhong interested in Gu Chang, and immediately said, "General, he has lived in Dianchi City for several years. He also has some understanding of Gu Chang. Gu Chang is a member of the Gu family aristocrat of the Southern Kingdom. The ancestor of the Gu family was a general under the founding king of the Southern Kingdom. After the founding of the Southern Kingdom, he also established the status of the Gu family for generations. For hundreds of years, the Gu family has been an important force in the Southern Kingdom's military. Gu Chang is considered a general of the previous generation of the Southern Kingdom. I believe that the general is familiar with his two sons, Gu Tong, the Gu Tong brothers who were defeated by the General in Tanlu Mountain!"

"That's a wonder!" Hearing Zhu Shang's introduction to Gu Chang, Deng Zhong suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Gu Chang dared to come out to fight against our army at this time. It turned out that he had a deep hatred with our army. By the way, Grand Master Zhu, I wonder how capable Gu Chang is?" No wonder Gu Chang dared to come out in the situation where the southern country was doomed to perish and everyone in the southern country's nobles were in danger. It turned out that he had a great hatred for Gu Chang to kill his son, but what kind of ability is Gu Chang? What kind of courage did he let him come out without hesitation?

Hearing Deng Zhong's question, Zhu Shang shook his head and said, "General, when he was surrendering to the southern country, Gu Chang had already retreated from the army. He stayed at home all day without caring about the world. I have never fought with Gu Chang, so I am not very clear about Gu Chang's ability. However, when the leader of the Wugan clan had fought with Gu Chang many times, I believe that the leader of the Wugan clan would know a lot!" Zhu Shang was not old, and Gu Chang was like these in those days. When the older generation of generals in the southern country were dominating the world, he was still a young boy. How could he have the chance to fight Gu Chang? But Wu Gan is different. As the oldest and oldest patriarch of the barbarian race, Wu Gan had a lot of dealings with Gu Chang when he was young. After Zhu Shang became popular, he did not forget Rawu Gan. After all, although they had unresolved hatreds, they all came from the same clan and still had to support each other.

Zhu Shang said that Wu Gan knew Gu Chang better, so Deng Zhong looked at Wu Gan. Facing Zhu Shang's name and Deng Zhong's eyes, Wu Gan stepped out and said, "General, yes, I had a lot of dealings with Gu Chang back then, and they were well aware of each other. Gu Chang was not that powerful if he had the ability, but his personality was very calm. He thought about everything and planned it. I also suffered a lot of losses in his hands back then." When talking about the past, Wu Gan also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, because this was the past he was least willing to look back on, which was too embarrassing.

However, Deng Zhong and others listened and listened seriously, after listening to Wu Gan's words, Deng Zhong had a countermeasure and said, "Gu Chang is calm, right? Then we are more stable than him. Now our army has an absolute advantage. Both the strength and the combat power of the troops are far superior to the Southern Army. With such an advantage, I don't want to play any strange strategies with Gu Chang. The army rested for three days, and after three days, it will directly attack Dianchi City and overwhelm the Southern Army with a dignified momentum. By then, even if Gu Chang is the reincarnation of the overlord, Han Xin will be useless. No matter how powerful Gu Chang is, it will end with the defeat of the Southern Kingdom, and there will be no change!"

Now the Deng army has crushed the Southern Army in all aspects. There is no need to play any tricks with the Southern Kingdom. They directly crushed the city with superior forces and directly broke Dianchi City. As long as they break through the city gate and enter the city, even if Gu Chang has the ability to reach the sky, they can't change anything. Gu Chang's calm personality determines that Gu Chang will never leave the city without any confidence. In this way, Deng's army can calmly rest and accumulate strength for the last battle.

At the same time, when Wudangwei and the barbarian army arrived outside Dianchi City, Gu Chang, the commander of the Southern Army and the guardian of Dianchi City, also brought his grandson Gu Lan to the top of the city. Looking at the dark Deng army camp under the city, Gu Chang sighed and said, "Although the Deng army is calm, not only bringing all the troops, but also bringing the barbarian army. I thought I could attack when the Deng army was just a first-time arrival and unstable foothold to increase the morale of the army. However, now nearly 100,000 soldiers are stationed outside the city, and even if they go out, they are just a mantis arm to chariots. I missed the best opportunity and the days ahead are not easy!"

While Gu Chang was talking, Gu Lan, who was standing next to him, was trembling when he saw Deng Jun camp. He was just a playboy in Dianchi City. When had he seen such a large formation? There were so many soldiers outside the city that they had never had even at their peak, let alone now. He was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.
