Chapter 491: Ganyang Palace discusses sending troops

In Ganyang Palace, Deng Sheng had just finished handling government affairs and was resting. When the eunuch Gui Xiang saw this, he retreated silently and stood outside the door. Just when Gui Xiang was bored, Yao Guangxiao hurried over. Gui Xiang was about to salute. Who knew that Yao Guangxiao did not give him this opportunity at all, but asked directly: "Eunuch Gui, can the king be inside?"

Gui Xiang nodded and said, "The king has just finished handling some squeezed government affairs and is resting now? Does Lord Yao have any important matters to see the king?"

"That's good. Please ask the eunuch Gui Tongbing. I have an urgent matter to ask for the king!" When Yao Guangxiao heard that Deng Sheng was in Ganyang Palace, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The situation was serious. It would have been resolved earlier when he saw Deng Sheng.

Seeing Yao Guangxiao's expression was in a hurry and his face was anxious, Gui Xiang knew that something really happened, so he turned around and walked into Ganyang Palace. At this time, Deng Sheng was still closing his eyes to rest.

"Your Majesty, Mingjing Mingshou Yao Guangxiao asked for a meeting!" Gui Xiang said to Deng Sheng who was sleeping.

Hearing Gui Xiang's voice, Deng Sheng opened his closed eyes and said, "Yao Guangxiao is here? Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, but looking at Lord Yao's expression is probably a very important thing." Gui Xiang shook his head and said.

Deng Sheng let out a long sigh, then stretched his waist and said, "Transfer!"

"Here!" Gui Xiang responded, then walked out. After a while, Yao Guangxiao hurried in, bowed and said, "My minister Yao Guangxiao pays homage to the king!"

"Yao Qing is not working in the office of Mingjing Office, but is so anxious to see me. But what happened?" Deng Sheng asked. As Mingjing Mingshou, Yao Guangxiao had to deal with a lot of things on weekdays. Generally, it is not a particularly important thing or if Deng Sheng summoned him, Yao Guangxiao would not come to Yang Palace.

"Return to the king, I received a secret report. Qin State conspired to our Shuzhong Road, and the army has now set out to the south!" Yao Guangxiao didn't say nonsense and told the matter directly.

"What!" Deng Sheng was shocked when he heard Yao Guangxiao's words and said, "You mean Qin is going to attack our Shuzhong Road. Now the army has gone south?"

"Yes, this is a secret report from Chang'an. After receiving the secret report, I kept entering the palace and asked the king to look at it!" Yao Guangxiao nodded and said, then took out the secret report sent back by Chang'an's mirror from his sleeve and submitted it to Deng Sheng.

After receiving the secret report, Deng Sheng opened it and looked at it. His face changed drastically. Then he said furiously: "The Qin people are so bold that they dare to covet our Shuzhong Dao. Damn it, come here, and the heads of the three provinces, the six ministers, the generals of the General of the General's Office, and the military advisors of the Military Affairs Department come to see me quickly!"

"Here!" As soon as the words were finished, countless eunuchs ran to the offices of various departments.

About two quarters of an hour later, the heads of the three provinces, the ministers of the six ministries, the generals of the General's Office, and the military advisors of the Military Affairs Department all came.

"I'll pay homage to the king!" After everyone arrived, they saluted Deng Sheng together.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come came, Deng Sheng waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just say it's important. Mingjing received a secret report that Qin State conspired to our Shuzhong Road and sent nearly 200,000 troops south. Now all the Qin army troops have set out to move south and may launch an attack on our Shuzhong Road at any time."

"What! Damn it! Qin State is so brave that he dared to provoke me, Da Deng, are you crazy?" Everyone was shocked, obviously caught off guard by the news. Didn't it mean that the Qin State General Meng Zhan died of illness just now? Shouldn't the Qin State people be sad? Why did they suddenly send troops south?

"King, if it is true, then something is not good. Now Shuzhong Dao only has 50,000 troops to guard the Tianwu Guard, but Tianwu Guard has never been on the battlefield. How can it be the opponent of the Qin army's elite battles? Please ask the king to send reinforcements quickly. It's too late. I'm afraid that Shuzhong Dao will no longer have me, my eldest Deng!" Jiang Wan said to Deng Sheng with a hint of anxiousness in his words. Deng's army's strength in Shuzhong Dao is not very strong. There is only one newly formed and has never been on the battlefield. Facing the elite of hundreds of battles that are several times higher than that of our side, the disadvantage is too obvious.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Jiang Qing is right. He must send troops to rescue Shuzhongdao immediately. I asked you to come here to discuss the issue of sending troops. What do you think? You can speak freely!"

"King, it is certain to send troops, but it still needs to be carefully considered to draw the troops into Shu. After all, it is difficult to mobilize the troops in the northern border, and there is no time left. If the troops in the northern border are mobilized, after our dispatch is completed, the Shu Middle Road would probably have fallen into the hands of Qin!" said Hu Weiyong, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Among the sixteen guards of Deng State, the only ones that can be counted as elite troops of hundreds of battles are the Tiger Wing Guards, Eagle Yang Guards, Lingsnake Guards, Longwu Guards, Jinwu Guards and Longxiang Guards. At best, the Shenxing Guards, Shence Guards, and Shenwu Guards are all basically arranged in the north to defend Zhao State. If these troops are mobilized, the time will not be reached. Secondly, once these troops are moved, Deng State must draw troops from other places to replenish their positions, otherwise it will be easy to be taken advantage of by Zhao State. Moreover, no matter which troops are mobilized to go north, the strength of the northern border of Deng State will be affected to a certain extent.

"Yue Qing, as the general of the General of the Governor's Office, what do you think about this?" After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Deng Sheng immediately asked Yue Fei. As the actual supreme commander of the Deng army, Yue Fei now has the most say.

Yue Fei first looked at Mingjing's secret report carefully, and then said, "By the king, from the secret report, the entire Qin army has probably gathered in Hanzhong, and may launch an attack on Shuzhong Road at any time. It is too late to mobilize the elite troops from the northern border into Shu. Now the only guards that can be mobilized are Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, Longwu Guards, Shenxing Guards, and Longxiang Guards. In addition, Wudang Guards from the South Middle Road can also be mobilized northwards. However, Wudang Guards are far away in Nanzhong, and the military orders they mobilized will not arrive for a while. There are Shenxing Guards and Longxiang Guards, which are all elite cavalry. The battle into Shu is very unfavorable. The Yulin Guards are in Wancheng, so they should not be moved lightly. It seems that they can only be Jinwu Guards and Longwu Guards. However, Jinwu Guards are in Jingnan Road. If the speed of entering Shu by land is too slow, the only way is to use the warships of the Angry Guards to transport Jinwu Guards from water to Shu."

"There is another thing, that is, once the Longwu Guard enters Shu, the defense of Wuguan needs to be sent to take over, and there is also the Shangyong Land, which is too close to Hanzhong. Although the main attack direction of the Qin army is Shuzhong Road, there are still half of the elite troops in Qin State, so I have to be careful. My opinion is to mobilize the Shenwu Guard and Yongping Guard to the north. As for Jingnan Road in the hinterland, there should not be too big problems, and the Yulin Guard can also be dispatched when necessary." Yue Fei expressed his opinion.

When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly. Yue Fei's arrangement was very good. He could not only draw troops into Shu to rescue, but also do not need to touch the elites in the northern border, so as to prevent the influence of Zhao taking advantage of the situation. However, the only bad thing is that in this way, a large area of ​​empty land appeared in the hinterland of Deng. However, there were also Rage Guards, Yulin Guards, Yongning Guards, Longxiang Guards, and Shenxing Guards in the hinterland. There was not a big problem in the hinterland.

"What do you think of Yue Qing's suggestions?" Deng Sheng asked everyone. Although he also thought Yue Fei's suggestions were very good, he had to ask others' opinions.

"King, General Yue's handling is very good. I have no objection. But the only question now is whether Tianwu Guard can persist until our army rescues? If Tianwu Guard is defeated by the Qin army before our reinforcements enter Shu, it will be futile. After all, the commander who can command the 200,000 army to fight must not be an unknown person." At this time, Cui Hao raised a very important question, that is, can Tianwu Guard stop the Qin army and last until the reinforcements arrive?

"Cui Xiang doesn't have to worry!" When Cui Hao raised his questions, Yue Fei came out to answer and said, "It is true that those who can command 200,000 Qin troops south must not be unknown people. Moreover, according to our general's guess, the most likely commander of the Qin army in this battle is Bai Qi, but the general of Tianwu Guard Li Jing is not Yi with him. I have a lot of contact with Li Jing, and his military strategy is not inferior to me. Even in many places, even the general is willing to take a disadvantage. I can say with certainty that as long as Li Jing does not confront the Qin army head-on, with the dangerous passes of Shuzhong Road, there is no problem to block the Qin army."

"Does the general attach too much importance to Li Jing? After all, Bai Qi is a famous general as famous as the general. I am afraid that even if the general takes action, he will not dare to say that he will defeat Bai Qi. Can Li Jing do it?" Cui Hao obviously did not have much confidence in Li Jing, not that Cui Hao thought Li Jing was an incompetent person. Bai Qi was so famous that the entire Deng Kingdom believed that unless Yue Fei or the elderly Han Qing took action, everyone else would be very threatening, and even Yue Fei and Han Qing were not sure of winning.
