Chapter 429: Battle of the South

On the eighth day of the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on March 8, Deng State Wudangwei succeeded in attacking the southern capital Dianchi City. The commander of the Southern Army Gu Chang committed suicide to his country. The Southern King and the royal court officials of the Southern Kingdom were captured by the Deng army. At this point, the Southern Kingdom, which had been established for two hundred years, was declared to be destroyed. The Southern Kingdom was different from the Deng State, Zhao State, Qin State, and Chu State. The Southern Kingdom was not a country that evolved from the melee of the princes at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the traditional sense, but was split from the Nanyue State. With its geographical advantage, it survived for two hundred years under the environment surrounded by wolves. This is a miracle in itself. However, today, the miracle ended. In the face of the powerful strength of Deng State, the tenacious Southern Kingdom could not escape the fate of destruction.

Dianchi City, the General's Mansion, has become the temporary residence of Deng's generals, and the Dianchi Palace has been sealed by Deng's army. This palace will become the palace of Deng's kings like the palaces of Jiangling, Yangdi, Linxiang, Wucheng, Chengdu, Chencheng, Shanyin and other places, and will become the palace of Deng. However, perhaps Deng Sheng will not come to this remote Dianchi City in this life.

In the main hall of the General, Deng Zhong sat in the main seat, and the other generals sat on the left and right. Su Yun stood up, holding a booklet in his hand, and said to Deng Zhong: "Report to the General, after counting, there are 150,000 gold, 100,000 silk, 500,000 stones of grain in the treasury of the Southern Kingdom, and countless items of ivory, spices, etc. The intercepted yellow book of the southern country population shows that the registered population of the southern counties is 130,000 households, and more than 600,000 people, of which more than 200,000 are strong men over 16 years old and under forty years old!" The above is the situation in the southern country. The southern country is located in the south, with a vast land and sparse population. Many places are in primeval forests that have not been developed. In addition, the barbarians are rampant, and poisonous snakes and beasts are rampant. Every year, there are countless people in the war with the barbarians and the mouths of poisonous snakes and beasts. It is very good to have more than 600,000 people.

"No, this southern country is too poor, right? Not to mention the money, grain and population, this little bit of money, grain and population, even our Da Deng casually pulled out a county is better than him. Didn't it mean that the southern country and the Yue Kingdom were separated from the Nanyue Kingdom? Why is the difference between the two countries so big?" After hearing Su Yun's words, Chang Mao immediately complained that he thought that even if the southern country was established for two hundred years, it would not be too bad even if it was not as rich as other countries. Moreover, the southern country and the Yue Kingdom were of the same lineage, and the Yue Kingdom was also distracted. Why was this southern country so poor? This gain was just enough to settle the consumption of this expedition to the south. In other words, Deng's expedition to the south this time had almost nothing except for a few poor places.

Facing Chang Mao’s complaint, Su Yun smiled and said, “General Chang doesn’t know that the southern country has always been less prosperous than the Central Plains. Even if it is more than Jingnan, it is worse than that of Jingnan. Although the southern country and the Yue Kingdom equally divided the Nanyue Kingdom, the southern country obtained a place far worse than that of the Yue Kingdom. This is why the southern country has been unable to get along with the Yue Kingdom for the past two hundred years!”

At that time, the South Vietnamese Kingdom dominated the vast south, and its territory started from the south to the middle of the south and ended at the sea in the east, and it grew thousands of miles long. It finally split into the South Vietnamese Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom. Among them, the Yue Kingdom obtained the most excellent land of the South Vietnamese Kingdom. Although the territory was not as good as the South Vietnamese Kingdom, the land quality was far higher than that of the South. This was why the Southern Kingdom was unwilling to give up and fought with the Yue Kingdom for two hundred years, and the division of spoils was uneven, which led to the two brothers' separation.

Deng Zhong, who was in the main position, didn't care about this. In fact, long before going south, Deng Zhong knew that the South would not be very rich, and that destroying the South was more of a strategic significance. After destroying the South, Deng State truly dominated the entire South. The two biggest troubled barbarians and the Shanyue people were also subdued by Deng State. In the future, when facing the pressure from Qin and Zhao, Deng State could also calmly deal with it.

Deng Zhong said: "Okay, this is the situation in the southern country. It doesn't make any sense for you to be confused. Just do serious business. Although Dianchi City has been taken down, other places in the southern country, such as Cangwu County, Guilin County, Yongchang County, and Yizhou County are still under the control of the Southern Army. What we need to do now is to take down all these places, so that we can completely complete the task assigned by the king to us Wudangwei. In addition, the military advisor will draft a good news for the general and immediately send someone to Wancheng to present to the king!"

Compared to the people complaining about the poor harvest of this expedition to the south, Deng Zhong thought a lot more. Although he had captured Dianchi City and captured Nanyang, most parts of the southern country had not yet fallen under the control of Deng's army. Deng's army had to do a lot. Moreover, after capturing Dianchi City, he also needed to send people to Wancheng to report the victory. Otherwise, who would know that their group of boys who had never been valued have made such great contributions.

"Here! Please don't worry, General. We will do our best to take down the entire Nanzhong region!" Everyone responded in unison. As the saying goes, "A hundred miles travel a half ninety, everyone understands this principle. If the entire southern country is not completely taken down, the war will not end in one day, and the rewards they deserve will not come in one day, so they will not take it lightly. Only after taking down the last city of the southern country can they truly relax!

Next, Deng Zhong, as the general and military advisor Su Yun, was in charge of Dianchi City. The rest of the Deng army quickly rushed around, and now it was about to enter Yanxia. Logically, this was extremely unfavorable to Deng's actions, but the surrender of the barbarians allowed the Deng army to find a large number of guides. You must know that the barbarians lived in the South Central for a longer time than the history of the southern country. With their guidance, the Deng army perfectly avoided all dangerous areas and successfully captured one city after another.

In the 23rd year of Qianyuan, on the third day of April, the Deng army captured the southernmost city of the southern country, Ding'an City in Jiaozhi County. At this point, the entire southern country was captured by the Deng army. This time, the war in the southern country was also declared over. Deng State easily captured the southern country and put the last puzzle to dominate the south.

Just when Deng’s army entered Ding’an City, Deng Sheng, who was thousands of miles away, was also rewarded by the system’s hegemony point from this war at the same time.

"Ding! The Battle of the Battle of Nan ends, this battle is divided into three parts

1. In the Battle of Zhuti, Deng Jun won, rewarded 100 points for the battle

2. Talking about the Battle of Lushan, Deng Jun won, and rewarded 100 points for the battle

3. The Battle of Dianchi Lake, Deng Jun won, rewarded 50 points for the battle

Complete system tasks

1. The battle to destroy the country, reward 300 points for hegemony

2. Expand the territory and occupy the eight counties of Jianwei County, Yueli County, Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Liuxian County, Guilin County, Jiaozhi County, and Cangwu County. Reward 800 points of the battle for the throne

The current master has 2100 points in the Battle Point!"

Deng Sheng was a little upset when he saw this generous reward this time, why did he delay so long before he attacked the South? Although the South was not strong and there were not many hegemony points in the war, he could not stand the South's territory. There were 800 points in the eight counties at once, which was simply a baby with points. In the past, Deng fought with major powers in the Central Plains, but he did not get more than half of what he got this time. It was a sin to put the baby with points aside for so long. Fortunately, it was not too late now.

What should I do if I get so many hegemony points at once? Summoning? Thinking of this, Deng Sheng shook his head. Now there are enough talents in Deng State, and many talents have been staying in the place since they were summoned. Why is this? That's because Deng State really does not have so many locations to settle down. And now there are many young generations in Deng State. It's time for Deng Sheng to promote young people appropriately. Otherwise, it's okay to rely on summoning for a while, but it won't be possible for a long time. He will eventually leave the world one day. There is no system in the future. Deng State can only rely on local talents. Promoting a group of talents first is also to prepare for the future.

When they conquered Chenliu County, Chen County and Liang County, Deng Sheng selected three outstanding candidates among the younger generation of Deng State, namely Cui Hong, Cui Hao's son, Fan Zhongyan's son Fan Zhe, and Jiang Wan's son Jiang Bin. However, they did not go directly to the three northern counties to serve, but instead exchanged with Liu Ba, the prefect of Wuling County in the south, Liu Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and Yao Chong, Yao Ba served as the prefect of Chenliu County. The prefect of Wuling County was taken over by Cui Hong, Liu Jian, the prefect of Chen County, Liu Jian, the prefect of Changsha, Fan Zhe, Yao Chong served as the prefect of Liang County, and Jiang Bin, the prefect of Guiyang.
