Chapter 472: Guangling enters Deng

After Zhu Jie went down, Yue Fei quickly ordered the guards to guard the central army's tent. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter and exit. After the guards received the order, they guarded outside the central army's tent in groups of three or three.

In the central army's tent, Yue Fei left behind General Zhang Liao, General Shence Guard, Fa Zheng, and the four generals, while the rest of the generals and General Zhonglang were all out.

"Everyone, I will accept Guangling County or not?" This is a big problem for Yue Fei. There is no doubt that Yue Fei wants Guangling County. Not only Yue Fei, but the entire Deng State wants Guangling County, because they all know the importance of Guangling County to Deng State, and they also know how much impact it will have on the entire Deng State once Guangling County falls into the hands of Zhao State. Therefore, when Zhu Jian proposed to present Guangling County to Deng State, Yue Fei wanted to agree at once, but it was Zhu Jian that needed Yue Fei to promise Deng State that the royal family of Chu State. Yue Fei dared not make any promises casually.

"General, the last general just now had a firm attitude towards Zhu Jian. If the general did not agree to protect the royal family of Chu, they would never give up Guangling County." General Xiahou Yuan, the general of Shence Guard, came out and said.

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. They also understood what Zhu Yan meant just now, and knew that once Yue Fei did not agree, Deng State would be unable to achieve it without a bloody battle.

"Yes, this is exactly what I am concerned about. Logically, I don't need to be so embarrassed. Just report this matter to the king. Moreover, I believe that with the kindness of the king, the possibility of agreeing is very high. However, now the Zhao army can reach Guangling County every once in a while. The journey to Wancheng is long. Even if it is eight hundred miles in a hurry, it is impossible to go back and forth between Wancheng and Yinling in less than two or three days. Moreover, this matter is of great importance. The king still needs to discuss with the court. This time, it is impossible to come to Yinling without the order of Wancheng for three or five days. But if we wait for three or five days before sending troops, and when we go to Guangling, most of Guangling County will have fallen into the hands of the Zhao army." Yue Fei said in embarrassment.

"But the general, without the king's edict, even if the general is the first in the military and signing documents with other countries without authorization is a serious crime for the court. The general should think twice. In the foolish opinion of the general, he should send troops to control Guangling County according to the strategies we had formulated before, so as not to have too many dreams!" said Zhang Liao, the general of Shence Guard.

After years of development, the domestic hierarchy system has become increasingly strict. As the leader of Deng State, Deng Sheng held the highest power of Deng State. Without Deng Sheng's permission, no one has the qualification to sign documents with other countries without authorization. Whether it is Yue Fei, Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, Zhang Bin, and Su Hong, the important officials of the country, they represent only the image of Deng State outside, but it will never be the attitude of Deng State. Only Deng Sheng can decide the attitude and direction of Deng State.

This is exactly the most difficult thing for Yue Fei. He knew that if Deng Sheng knew about this, the possibility of agreeing was very high, but Yue Fei dared not gamble. It was a taboo to figure out the idea. It would be okay to say it, but what if it was wrong? Who will bear this result? Since Yue Fei took over the military power of Deng State since the Battle of Wuguan in the second year of King Sheng of Deng, more than 20 years have passed, and he has transformed from an unknown unknown young man into a powerful generation today.

Famous generals rely on Deng Sheng's trust and support, so Yue Fei cherishes this hard-won success more than anyone else. It is not worth losing Deng Sheng's trust because of this matter. Especially Yue Fei is over fifty years old and knows his destiny at fifty years old. Yue Fei is no longer sure how long he can live. Old friends who were fighting against him or fighting against the enemy, such as Zhao Xin, Pang Lang, and Longchuan, are already dead, and Han Qing is old and his life is not long.

This made Yue Fei very scared. Once he lost Deng Sheng's trust, the court would not take action when he was there with his past merits. But once he died, would the court settle the Yue family because of today's affairs? The emperor was ruthless. This sentence was not just a saying. Yue Fei trusted Deng Sheng very much, but he did not trust King Deng. Deng Sheng was very kind in private, but no one could guess what Deng Sheng was thinking on the high throne.

"The General is probably too worried!" This is the military advisor Fa Zheng who came out and said: "When the general left the capital, he still remembered what the king said to the general? How to seize Guangling County?"

When Yue Fei heard Fa Zheng's words, he thought carefully about what Deng Sheng said to him when he received the edict of governor Huainan, and then said: "The king asked me to control the third prince of Chu. With the title of the Chu royal family, he reduced the resistance of the Chu people and gained a foothold in Guangling County for the Great Deng."

"Yes!" Fa Zheng continued, "The king just wanted the general to control the third prince of Chu, but did not say how to deal with the third prince of Chu. As we all know, since the Zhao army entered Chu, it has slaughtered the Chu royal family, which aroused the resistance of the Chu people. The king's original intention was to use the name of the Chu royal family to appease the Chu people. However, the general directly sent troops to occupy Guangling County. No matter what he did, the Chu people would not willingly surrender to my Da Deng. In the end, the result was the same, but now it is different. Now the Chu people took the initiative to give Guangling County to me. As long as I Da Deng protect the Chu royal family, the Chu people would not be grateful to me Da Deng, and they would not resist the resistance. Therefore, the subordinates thought that the general should obey."

"Take a step back, even if this is not the original intention of the king, as long as the Chu royal family goes to Wancheng, as long as the king wants them to die, there will be ten thousand ways to kill them. Besides, are there fewer royal families in Wancheng now in Wancheng? Jing, Han, Chen, Shu, Yue, Southern, and Wu are everywhere. There are not many more Chu, and there are not many less Chu. The king and the court will not care about these!" Fa Zheng said at last.

"Military advisors are careful. The king will never be a traitor!" Yue Fei nodded repeatedly when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Fazheng's view. However, when Fazheng said that as long as he arrived in Wancheng and Deng Sheng wanted the Chu royal family to die, Yue Fei was not very happy. It was a taboo for ministers to discuss the king in this way, so he directly scolded Fazheng.

Fa Zheng also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he looked at Yue Fei apologetically, then smiled and said, "The General is right. The King will never be a traitor. But the King is a kind king, so the General does not need to be so cautious. Guangling County must not fall into the hands of Zhao. Now Chu State takes the initiative to surrender, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Yue Fei pondered for a long time, showed a firm look and said, "Okay, since the opportunity has been given to us, I will never miss it. I will take over this Guangling County and the Chu royal family will be protected. If the king is punished for this in the future, I will bear it with all my strength!"

"The general is wise!" Everyone knew that this was the last solution. The previous concerns were just worrying about the court's investigation in the future. Now that Yue Fei has to bear it, what else do they have to worry about?

Finally, Yue Fei looked at everyone meaningfully and said, "Also, I don't want what I said today to be spread. Do you know?" Yue Fei was obviously protecting Fa Zheng, because Fa Zheng's words just now were enough to cause him great trouble.

Fa Zheng also understood what Yue Fei meant, so he looked at Yue Fei gratefully, but he didn't say anything because everything was indifferent.

After making a decision, Yue Fei immediately asked someone to invite Zhu Jian over. After learning that Yue Fei promised Deng to protect the Chu royal family, Zhu Jian was overjoyed.

One day later, Yue Fei brought his personal guards and Zhu Fang to the Yongping Guard's garrison on the border, and marched to Guangling County with Yongping Guard. Zhu Fang, the supreme commander of the Chu army in Guangling County, was there. Yue Fei and Yongping Guard came to Guangling City without any obstacles. They met Xiang Jing, the third prince of Chu. After taking over the rule of Guangling County, Yue Fei arranged a guard to escort the Chu royal family headed by Xiang Jing to Wancheng, and then sent troops to take over the entire Guangling County, and prepared troops to wait for the arrival of the Zhao army.
