As Deng Sheng pretended to be sick again, giving up Chu became a consensus among the rulers and ministers of Deng. However, after all, he was a former ally, and the existence of Chu did bring great benefits to Deng. Therefore, Chen Qun did not refuse Fan Ting at all, but said that he would need to wait until Deng Sheng recovered before he could send troops. As for when he could recover, it would take three months to half a year.

After struggling for three months to half a year, with Chu's current strength, the daylily would probably be cold by then. At this moment, Fan Ting's heart was bitter. He was not a fool. He knew that Deng was refusing his request, but Fan Ting still had a little hope in his heart. After all, Deng did not completely reject him, so he smiled and said with a slutty smile: "I understand what Chen Shangshu meant. I will report these words to my king. I just hope that there will be a chance to drink and have fun with Shangshu Chen in the future!" After that, he turned around and left.

Looking at Fan Ting's departure, Chen Qun's heart was filled with sighs. This was the sorrow of a weak country. Survival and destruction were only a thought of a strong country, but Chen Qun did not feel compassion because of this, because Chen Qun knew that this was the general trend of the world. The world had been disturbed for more than twenty years. Most of the countries that were established in the past have now disappeared. The unification of the world has become the general trend. If the Chu State does not have the strength to unify, it does not need to exist.

After seeing Fan Ting away, Chen Qun replenished his mood and walked towards Ganyang Palace. He wanted to report to Deng Sheng. When Chen Qun came to Ganyang Palace, he found that Cui Hao, Zhang Bin, Jiang Wan, Yue Fei and other important civil and military officials gathered together, but Deng Sheng's eyes were staring at the map in the hall. Chen Qun found that everyone's eyes were focused on one point, Guangling County!

Guangling County is an important town in the Central Plains, bordering Jiujiang County, Huainan Road, Deng State to the southwest, and bordering Jiujiang County, a military strategist. When Chu was strong in the past, it relied on Guangling County to suppress the Wu State in Jiangdong. Now Guangling County is still in the hands of Chu State, but Chu State is about to perish. Deng Sheng felt that other countries could no longer occupy Guangling County, so Deng Sheng summoned his ministers here this time, and that was how to take the opportunity to seize Guangling County.

"Chen Qing, is Fan Ting gone?" Deng Sheng asked Chen Qun when he saw Chen Qun come in.

Chen Qun nodded and replied: "Let's go!"

After hearing this, Deng Sheng nodded. It would be fine if he left. He was really afraid that Fan Ting would be reluctant and would stay in Wancheng without leaving. After all, Deng Sheng really didn't want to break up completely. Now that Fan Ting left himself, he saved a lot of trouble.

"You are all the people who fall Chu State only day and night. I don't care about other places in Chu State, but Guangling County cannot fall into the hands of Zhao State no matter what. Zhao State must not push the front line to the Yangtze River. This is my bottom line!" Deng Sheng pointed to the point in Guangling County on the map and said.

Cui Hao bowed and said, "King, it is not difficult to take Guangling County. I believe that Zhao will not fight against me, Da Deng, for a Guangling County. The only problem is how to occupy Guangling County legitimately!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed with Cui Hao's statement. It was never a problem for Zhao to take down Guangling County. After all, the reason why Zhao advanced so quickly was nothing more than worrying that Deng would send troops to rescue Chu? At this time, it was already very good that Deng did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Zhao. How could Zhao provoke Deng? The only trouble was how to make the occupying Guangling County legitimate? Now Guangling County is still the territory of Chu. If Deng had just rejected the request of Chu to send troops and turned around to occupy Guangling County, it would probably cause criticism from all over the world. This was not allowed for the ruler and ministers of Deng, who cherished their feathers.

"Yes, it's not difficult to occupy Guangling County, but it's not easy to be justified and not criticized by the world. I wonder what good strategies Cui Qing has?" Deng Sheng nodded and then asked Cui Hao for advice.

Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "King, if you want to seize Guangling County, I think that after the Zhao army conquered Pengcheng, the Chu State was defeated, and the situation was too great. At that time, I, Da Deng, could send troops north to Guangling County on the grounds of protecting the Chu royal family. Although most of the Chu royal family is in Pengcheng, don't forget that there is a real Chu prince in Guangling County. With this Chu prince, the reason for occupying Guangling County is no longer a problem!"

After the Chu State was restored, with the support of Deng State, it successively recovered Xia Pi, Guangling, Pei County and other places. Later, in order to strengthen its ties with Deng State, King Xiang Kuang of Chu sent his sons to various places to take charge. In addition to the prince in Pengcheng, the second son in Xia Pi and the third son in Guangling. The task of these two Chu princes was to maintain contact with Deng State Huainan Road and Ying Rudao. Later, the Chu State's internal strife, the second prince of Chu State was placed under house arrest by Yu Zilong. When the Zhao army went south, the fourth prince of Chu State who was in Pei County died for his life. If Pengcheng was captured by the Zhao army and the King of Chu and the Crown Prince of Chu fell into the hands of the Zhao army, then the third prince of Chu State who was in Guangling would become the last bloodline of Chu State. As long as he was controlled in his hands, not to mention occupying a small Guangling County, he would directly occupy Xia Pi and other places, and the people of Chu State would not say anything.

After hearing this, Deng Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, this excuse is the most appropriate, but the timing of sending troops needs to be grasped very well. You all think that how long can the Chu army last in Pengcheng?" After Zhao State captured Pengcheng, he directly sent troops north to Guangling County to control the third prince of Chu State. This plan is very good, but the question is the time to send troops. To be precise, how long can Pengcheng last under the powerful offensive of the Zhao army.

"You are the king, I think Pengcheng can only last for a month!" At this time, Yue Fei stepped out and said that in this regard, Yue Fei, the number one in the Deng army, had the most say.

"Oh? How can I tell?" Although the Chu State was very weak, and everyone knew that the demise of Chu State was a foregone conclusion without Deng's troops intervening. However, Yue Fei's assertion that Pengcheng could not last for a month really surprised everyone. After all, Chu State still has tens of thousands of elite troops, and Pengcheng's strong city, it is logical that it can last for a year and a half, and it is not a problem to be at least three months. Not only Deng Sheng was surprised, but even everyone in the palace felt incredible.

Yue Fei said: "Return to the king, although the Chu army has some strength, since Zhang Di's death, the Chu army has become less powerful. Although there are still tens of thousands of elite troops in Chu, Pei County is suppressed by Leyun, and Pei County cannot retreat. In addition, although Yu Zilong's return allowed Chen Feng and Jiang Zi's troops to retreat back to Pengcheng, with Li Rubing's character, how could he let Chen Feng and Jiang Zi retreat easily? Therefore, Dong Zhong from Xia Pi will do his best to intercept Chen Feng and Jiang Zi. In fact, it is not difficult to do this with the strength of Dong Zhong's hands, so Pengcheng can only use more than 10,000 troops, and Pengcheng faces the 100,000 elite troops led by Li Rubing. I assert that Pengcheng will not last for a month and consider the strength of Pengcheng, otherwise Pengcheng may not be able to hold on for ten days."

Deng Sheng took a breath after hearing this. Deng Sheng's previous thoughts were a bit too ideal. Indeed, there were still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Chu, but most of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers could not return to Pengcheng. Needless to say, Yu Zilong, although it was temporarily turned into jade, everyone knew that Yu Zilong would not rescue Pengcheng, Chen Feng and Jiang Zi would not be able to retreat to Pengcheng, let alone Pei County's troops, they could not go back at all. In fact, there were only more than ten thousand people who could use Pengcheng.
