Chapter 481: The Qin State's Threat

Even Su Hong didn't say that Deng Sheng knew how strong Qin was. However, if Qin would become the biggest stumbling block for Deng to unify the world, Deng Sheng would not agree with this. In the eyes of Deng Sheng and even the civil and military officials of the court, as long as Deng successfully destroyed Zhao, it would be easy to take over Qin. Qin's national strength and general lineup were far inferior to Deng. Although Bai Qi was indeed very powerful, Bai Qi could not turn the world around.

Seeing Deng Sheng's indifferent expression, Su Hong knew that Deng Sheng did not take Qin seriously. So he sighed and said, "King, although Zhao State is strong, it has been a strong internal force in the middle. After several turmoils, although Zhao State is still there, the famous generals have withered. The elite soldiers and generals of the Zhao Xin period have been wiped out in these turmoils. The generals who can stay now are far from that time. Li Rubing has the ability of this person, but he is not Zhao Xin, and he cannot convince the entire Zhao State like Zhao Xin. At present, Zhao is worried about domestic and external troubles. For the sake of national stability, those veterans will not make a fuss with Li Rubing, but once stabilized, the veterans led by Le Yun will never give up. After all, Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong and others died too resentful!"

Zhang Chuan, Sima Chong, Le Yun and others were all under Zhao Xin's former command. The relationship was definitely not comparable to Li Rubing. The reason why Le Yun did not make trouble was that he did not want Zhao State to fall into turmoil. However, as long as the situation stabilized, Le Yun and others would probably take action, not to mention anything else. Just talking about Li Rubing, a junior, wanted to ride on them without any peerless achievements. How could this convince them? This is also the reason why Zhao Xin did not allow the better Li Rubing to take over the position of general before his death, because Li Rubing had shallow qualifications and was not enough to defend the situation.

Deng Sheng carefully digested Su Hong's words just now, feeling that Su Hong was very reasonable. Disagreement between Zhao and his country was indeed difficult to pose a threat to Deng State, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Deng Sheng agreed with his opinion, Su Hong smiled and continued: "Besides, the land occupied by Zhao State is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it seems to be vast in territory, but there is no danger to defend. If I, the Great Deng, want to destroy Zhao State, I only need to defeat the main force of Zhao State in one battle. This seems a bit difficult, but I believe that with my Great Deng's strength, I have never doubted this."

Although Deng State has occasionally suffered minor defeats since Deng Sheng ascended the throne, he has never tried it to shake the fundamental big defeat. In every battle, it can almost be said to be a victory in every battle. Even if the opponent is a powerful Zhao State, he can still win.

Not to mention Su Hong, even Deng Sheng, they are full of confidence. In terms of the lineup of civil and military affairs, the Deng State is already the best in the world. It has elite soldiers and powerful generals, war generals, and counselors like rain. It is not an exaggeration to describe Deng State.

"On the other hand, Qin State!" Su Hong did not observe Deng Sheng's reaction, and continued to say to himself: "Although Qin State is not as strong as my generals and generals, and even slightly inferior to Zhao State, Qin State has many difficulties in Guanzhong, Xiliang, Zhao State or my great Deng's attempt to enter Guanzhong. Fortunately, the king has foresight. When the Qin army entered the pass, it occupied Wu Pass in advance, but occupying Wu Pass does not mean that it is a sure thing to win. It is also dangerous to enter Chang'an from Wu Pass, and whether it is Hulao Pass, Hangu Pass, Sanguan, Xiao Guan are all people who are a man who is not open to the pass. If you attack strongly, it is probably not enough to fill all the hundreds of thousands of elite troops in my great Deng."

Guanzhong is definitely the most geographically superior territory in the world. It has a fertile territory of thousands of miles and is surrounded by steep passes around it. It is innately invincible. In the past, the powerful Qin occupied Guanzhong and watched the rise and fall of the six countries. Finally, it was able to sweep the six countries and unify the world. The role of this territory in Guanzhong can be seen. Now, as a descendant of the powerful Qin, the path that Qin took was the way to unify the world by strong Qin. However, it was a pity that Qin became the strongest of the seven countries and fell into the hands of Deng. This made Qin insufficient intent, but Qin in Guanzhong was not so easy to deal with.

"Su Qing is right. Qin is indeed difficult to deal with. Think about it carefully. If you want to deal with Zhao, I, Deng, have hundreds of strategies. Only Qin, except for a strong attack, seems to have no other way to go to the dark. Fortunately, Wuguan got it early. Otherwise, let alone attacking Guanzhong, even daily peace would be difficult to guarantee." Deng Sheng sighed and said, Qin's geographical advantages are too superior. As long as you send troops to guard several dangerous passes and let you bombard it, I can still be as stable as a mountain.

The current situation is that if Deng State wants to attack Guanzhong, there are three ways to choose. One is to march from Wuguan and approach Chang'an, but the road is not all smooth. Moreover, the alone army can easily be beaten to the Qin army as a fool. The second way is to go north from Bashu, first take Hanzhong, and then advance into Guanzhong. However, the 800-mile Qinchuan is not so easy to go through. The last way is also the most difficult way Deng Sheng believes to be to start a military force from the Central Plains and attack Hulao Pass. However, even if Hulao Pass is taken, there is a more dangerous Hangu Pass to march into Guanzhong.

It is different to attack Zhao State. The Central Plains occupied by Zhao State are almost plains. As long as the main force of the Zhao army is defeated in one battle, the Deng army can march straight into. Looking at the entire Zhao State, besides the only places that can slightly block Deng’s footsteps, there are probably only places such as Yanmen Pass, Ji Pass, and Huguan. Moreover, these places all guard the capital of Zhao State. If the Deng army can attack these places, it means that the territory of Zhao State and the Central Plains is gone, and Zhao State can only survive.

"So I think that compared to Zhao, Qin's threat is even greater. Moreover, with Qin's strength, as long as the right time is found, there may not be no power to turn the world around. Therefore, I think that my great Deng's energy in the next few years should focus on Qin. Even if I cannot destroy Qin in one battle, I should weaken Qin's strength as much as possible. Otherwise, when our great Deng fights fiercely, Qin may become a confidant." Su Hong said, he believed that when the strength and weakness are clear, Deng's goal should no longer be on Zhao, which is strong outside and at the same time, but should focus on Qin. Even if it cannot destroy Qin, it should also weaken Qin's strength as much as possible.

At this time, Deng Sheng finally realized that he had been living in Guanzhong and had worked closely with Deng State many times. The threat brought by Qin State, which seemed to be harmless, was solemnly nodded and said to Su Hong: "What Su Qing said today is that I will discuss with the ministers in the court. It seems that Qin State can no longer be allowed to develop."

When Su Hong heard Deng Sheng's words, he nodded with satisfaction. During the period when he was lying in bed, Su Hong thought a lot, and the most thought was how to make Deng capture the world smoothly. After several considerations, Su Hong believed that the resistance caused by Qin State in the process of Deng's unification of the world would be greater than that of Zhao State.

Deng Sheng left. After talking about Qin State with Su Hong, Deng Sheng left. However, after returning to the palace, Deng Sheng immediately came to a side hall in Ganyang Palace. Here, a huge map was hung. This was a world map recorded by Mingjing and the Business Department over the years. It accurately marked the location of Deng Zhao and Qin State, as well as the important cities of the Three Kingdoms. Even the mountains, rivers and rivers were marked. However, Deng Sheng felt a little regretful that compared with the maps with various terrain gradients in later generations, this map of the world seemed a bit simple, but Deng Sheng also knew that with the current level, it was not easy to do this.

After leaving the Su Mansion, Deng Sheng now carefully analyzed the location of the three kingdoms of Deng, Zhao and Qin in front of the map, and found that Su Hong's concerns were not unreasonable. Now, Deng's country is at its peak, Zhao's country is weak, while Qin has unlimited potential. If Qin is given time, it is not impossible to grow into a threat to Deng's country by time. Thinking of this, Deng Sheng began to think about how to weaken, or even directly destroy Qin.

It took one night to stay, and Deng Sheng did not walk out of the side hall until dawn. At this time, the eunuch Gui Xiang ran to Deng Sheng with a anxious look on his face, and said to Deng Sheng panting: "The king, the son of Su Hong, the military advisor Su Yunsu came to the palace to report the death. Su Hong and Su Su died of illness last night!"

"What! Su Hong is gone!" Deng Shengben's tired expression suddenly showed shock when he heard Gui Xiang's words. Su Hong left, and he left last night. In other words, Su Hong left not long after chatting with him. But Su Hong looked very energetic yesterday, so why did he leave just by saying that? Was someone planning to murder Su Hong?

Yes, after hearing this, Deng Sheng didn't care about his sadness. His first reaction was whether Su Hong was murdered. After all, Su Hong looked energetic yesterday, so why did he disappear after saying nothing in one night? It didn't seem to be common sense at all.
