Chapter 60
: Entering the East to Peicheng
In June of the seventh year of Qianyuan, Deng's army destroyed Han, and Han King Han Sheng and Prince's royal family, and all the concubines in the harem were captured by Deng's army.
Deng Sheng and Yangdi met Han prisoners and enthroned Han Sheng as Gui Ningbo on the spot, lived in Wancheng, and sent someone to escort Gui Ningbo Han Sheng and his family back to Wancheng first.
In the Yangdi Royal Palace, Deng Sheng walked alone in the back garden, and he was considering Yingchuan's arrangements.
Yingchuan borders Han and Wei. These two countries are enemies of Deng and will be threatened by Han and Wei at any time. Therefore, heavy troops must be deployed here, otherwise it will be difficult for Yingchuan to be defended.
After Yingchuan was captured, Ye County's responsibilities as an important town in the north ended here. The troops stationed in Ye County could be transferred to Yingchuan, and at the same time, recruited troops in Yingchuan. South Korea has adopted a policy of emphasizing culture and suppressing military affairs for many years, which led to the decline of the martial arts style of Yingchuan. Although Yingchuan also has a population of nearly one million, it is not a problem to recruit tens of thousands of troops, but considering the actual situation of Yingchuan and the people's hearts, Deng Sheng planned to recruit 20,000 troops and another 10,000 elite troops in Ye County. In addition to the Korean surrendered troops, a total of 40,000 people were built to build the Yingchuan defense line.
Deng Sheng, the general of the garrison, was interested in Xue Rengui. With Xue Rengui's ability, plus 40,000 troops and the support of Nanyang, it would be no problem to support the entire Yingchuan defense line. However, it is not the time to let Xue Rengui sit in Yingchuan. The biggest problem now is the position of the prefect of Yingchuan.
Yingchuan is too important, and Deng Sheng is worried about the local ministers in the court coming to govern, but the talents summoned are all in their own positions and cannot be moved lightly. Originally, Deng Sheng planned to let former South Korean Prime Minister Zhang Lin take office, but Zhang Linning refused to surrender.
"System, summon, focus on politics." Deng Sheng thought about it, and it would be better to summon one from the system.
"Use 100 points to compete for political summons
The first, Wen Yanbo, famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, military power: 40, commander: 51, intelligence: 87, politics: 93
The second one is Xun Yu, the adviser of Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, military power: 43, commander: 62, intelligence: 95, politics: 98
The third one is Chen Qun, the adviser of Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, military power: 45, commander: 48, intelligence: 92, politics: 96
Fourth, Dong Yun, famous minister of Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms, military power: 50, commander: 56, intelligence: 89, politics: 93
Please remove one person from the master!”
"Get out Wen Yanbo!"
"Remove Wen Yanbo, congratulations to the master for obtaining Chen Qun, a counselor under Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, military power: 45, commander: 48, intelligence: 92, politics: 96, implanted identity as a child of the Chen family of Yingchuan family. After Deng's army entered Yangdi, he took the initiative to join Deng's army and made great contributions to the stability of Yangdi. He was highly valued by Liu Bowen, Cheng Yu and others. The master currently has 2,570 points in the battle for hegemony."
Chen Qun, who is the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, is quite capable, and is a child of the Yingchuan family. I think it will be easier to be accepted by the Yingchuan people.
The next day, Deng Sheng summoned civil and military personnel and announced on the spot that he would promote Chen Qun as the prefect of Yingchuan.
After hearing this, Chen Qun was overjoyed and thanked Deng Sheng repeatedly, but the others were not so happy. Deng Sheng actually promoted an unqualified person to the prefect of Yingchuan and was also a remnant of South Korea. Although Chen Qun had never been a Korean official, many people in his family had served as senior officials in history, and everyone was puzzled.
Afterwards, Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao, Pang Tong, Cheng Yu and others hurriedly found Deng Sheng, hoping to hear what Deng Sheng was thinking.
When Deng Sheng saw these people, he came to him impatiently as soon as he dispersed, and guessed something.
Sure enough, when Pang Tongyi saw Deng Sheng, he asked: "I dare to ask the king why he appointed Chen Qun as the prefect of Yingchuan. I dare not deny that Chen Qun is indeed very capable, but..."
"Isn't it enough to have the ability?" Deng Sheng interrupted Pang Tong and said, "I know what you want to say. Isn't it just that Chen Qun is from a Korean official family? So what? Now South Korea is gone. The King of Korea and all the children of the Korean royal family are in Wancheng. Without the children of the royal family, who will they support? Besides, since I ascended the throne, I have always been appointing talents in an unconventional manner. As long as I have the ability, I am loyal to me and Deng, I will be generous with it. If I don't say anything else, isn't Pang Qing also a child of an official in Jing State? Have you ever had any doubts and alienation towards you?"
Faced with Deng Sheng's replies, Pang Tong had nothing to say. Deng Sheng was right. If you want to talk about his identity, he and Chen Qun were half a dozen. He could join Yue Fei's troops as military advisors as soon as the Jing Kingdom was destroyed. Moreover, this time he fought in the Central Plains, Deng Sheng also appointed him as one of the military advisors. It can be imagined that as long as he returns from victory this time, his position will definitely be raised. His situation is like this, so how can he persuade Deng Sheng?
"But king, have you considered the ideas of the ministers in the court. After all, the prefect of Yingchuan is too important. I am afraid that there will be many discussions in the court meetings." At this time, Cheng Yu said, Deng Sheng was right. He has always been employed in a variety of ways, but Chen Qun and Pang Tong are different. Pang Tong does not have a formal official position yet, that is, he is just a white person under the name of a military advisor. When Chen Qun came up, he was the prefect of Yingchuan. This is a vassal official who was the six ministers. Many ministers in the court have already been staring at this position. Now Deng Sheng has given a new member casually. Can they be willing?
"Hmph!" Deng Sheng sneered: "I am the king of Da Deng. I am just appointing a prefect of Yingchuan. Why should I pay attention to their ideas? Could it be that every time I appoint a person in the future, I will have to go through their consent? Then is this Da Deng's own or theirs?"
"Uh..." Several people dared not speak anymore. Deng Sheng's words were a bit heartbroken. If they continued to say it, it would probably arouse Deng Sheng's disgust. For the sake of a mere Yingchuan prefect, it was not worth it.
"King, Peicheng has issued several urgent documents in succession, all asking when the king will be able to set off for Peicheng." Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Liu Bowen quickly changed the topic.
Deng Sheng remained silent. Are the King of Chu and King of Qi so anxious? Since he entered Yangdi, he has sent a letter every three days, urging him to send troops.
However, Deng Sheng thought about it carefully and it was time to send troops, otherwise the Chu and Qi would be in trouble. After all, he had delayed a lot of time. So he said, "Since the King of Chu and Qi were so anxious, I would not let them wait for a long time. I sent the army to rest for three days and set off for Peicheng. At the same time, he sent someone to return to Wancheng with my handwritten letters and ordered General Deng Ai to go to Ye County and commanded 10,000 troops from Ye County to Yangdi. During my war in the Central Plains, he was responsible for guarding Yingchuan."
"Now!" everyone answered.
Three days later, Deng Sheng led an army of 100,000 to leave Yangdi and headed towards Peicheng. Before leaving, Deng Sheng left a decree for Chen Qun, asking him to wait until Deng Ai came to Yangdi and hand it over to him, and asked Chen Qun to cooperate with Deng Ai with all his strength and not to act arbitrarily.
Deng Sheng led a large army to advance eastward and passed Chen County, Chen State. It took nearly half a month to finally enter Pei County, less than five days away from Pei City.
