Chapter 62 Election of the Commander-in-Chief
Chapter 62: Referring to the Commander
"When it comes to the position of commander, it is our General Longchuan, General of the Great Chu." At this time, the general of Chu State, Cao Jian, shouted loudly, and stood up first to compete for his position of commander for his own.
"That's right, yes, my general Longchuan of Chu is the only one who takes his favor!" Cao Jian's words were supported by a group of generals in the Chu camp, but were opposed by the Qi camp.
"A joke, if anyone is qualified to be the commander, he should be the general of Han and Qing in Qi. Looking at the whole world, only General Han can compete with Zhao Xin on the battlefield." As expected, soon, General Wu Lie of Qi opposed it and strongly recommended Han Qing as the commander.
Wu Lie's proposal also received the support of a group of generals in the Qi camp. The two sides could not argue and almost started, but the King of Chu and Qi did not seem to have seen all this.
On the Deng State, when Zhang Fei saw that Chu and Qi State recommended their generals as commander, he also wanted to recommend Yue Fei, but Deng Sheng stopped him with a look.
In Deng Sheng's opinion, this position is not easy to sit, so how could Zhao Xin be so easy to deal with? Besides, Deng was originally here to fight in this battle and did not intend to fight to the death in the Central Plains. Now, if you can, you can hide. Moreover, although Yue Fei is powerful, his family knows that since Yue Fei debuted, he has only defeated Fan Yi and peacefully destroyed Jing. Needless to say, destroy Jing. It is estimated that any other country can destroy him by sending a slightly more powerful person. As for defeating Fan Yi, it seems that others have never defeated Fan Yi. Besides, Fan Yi's defeat was not entirely due to Yue Fei's command. What's more important is the suspicion of the Han royal family of the commander of the general. Speaking of which, when Fan Yi's defeat is the greatest responsibility, how could Chu and Qi give up the position of command to Deng?
After arguing for so long, there was no result, so the banquet ended unhappily.
After returning to his residence, Zhang Fei couldn't wait to find Deng Sheng and asked: "Why did the king stop me just now? I think General Yue Fei is fully capable of sitting in this position of command."
Deng Sheng smiled and said nothing, and gave Liu Bowen and others a wink, asking him to explain to Zhang Fei, the rash man.
Liu Bowen hurriedly pulled Zhang Fei and explained: "General Zhang Fei, the reason why the king did not fight for the position of commander is that, one is because I, Da Deng, there is no need to fight for this position. Our coming to the Central Plains was just a promise from Chu at that time. This war had no direct relationship with Da Deng. Why do we need this position to let Wei, Han, and Zhao target us? Secondly, Chu and Qi would not give up this position to us. You must know that most of the troops gathered in Pei City were the soldiers of Chu and Qi. How could they be willing to hand over so many troops to outsiders? If General Zhang jumped out just now, he would definitely be boycotted by Chu and Qi."
Zhang Fei is not a fool, he is just a little impulsive. After Liu Bowen's explanation, Zhang Fei finally understood the truth, so he bowed to Deng Sheng and said, "I just got a little impulsive, I hope the king will forgive me!"
Deng Sheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "General Zhang is also thinking about me, Deng. What crime is there? But I have to remember it in the future. Without my orders, no one of you can jump out to fight with Chu and Qi. Remember, our battle is not the main force."
"Here!" everyone responded.
On the second day, in the hall of the different palaces, a group of generals from Chu and Qi continued to fight against each other, and the stalemate was still in stalemate.
Finally, Deng Sheng finally couldn't see it and said to King Chu and King Qi: "King of Chu, King Qi, this is not a solution. Now the enemy has approached the border. If we are still arguing about the commander, it may delay major events."
The King of Chu and King of Qi nodded deeply and said, "I don't know what suggestions King Deng has."
Deng Sheng said: "King of Chu and King Qi, in my opinion, this time, our four countries have a total of 550,000 troops. If we rely solely on the command and control of one member, we may not be able to achieve the strength. I suggest that it is better to choose the head coach. What about the two deputy commanders?"
"I wonder if King Deng has any opinions on the candidate for the head coach?" King Qi felt that Deng Sheng was right, so he asked.
Deng Sheng thought for a while and said, "King of Chu, King of Qi, I believe that whether it is General Han Qing or General Longchuan, they are very good candidates. However, General Han Qing is the only person in the world who can tie Zhao Xin, and General Longchuan has not fought with Zhao Xin, so it is difficult to judge who is stronger. To be on the safe side, I propose that General Han Qing serves as the head coach and General Longchuan serves as the deputy commander. I don't know what the King of Chu and King of Qi think?"
The King of Chu was originally squinting his eyes and listening quietly to Deng Sheng's words. When he heard Deng Sheng's proposal to let Han Qing be the head coach and Long Chuan be the deputy commander, he suddenly suddenly started to attack and wanted to make Long Chuan Han Qing's deputy. Wouldn't that mean that Chu State is inferior to Qi State? How could the King of Chu, who has always regarded himself as the leader of the world, agree?
But Deng Sheng hurriedly held his hand and said in his ear: "King of Chu, I have no choice but to suggest Han Qing. You must know that the place where the war started is in Chu. No matter what the winner or lose, Qi will not suffer much loss. If the position of the head coach is not taken, the people of Qi will think that the King of Chu does not trust them, so how could the people of Qi do their best?"
The King of Chu was reminded by Deng Sheng's words, yes, the place where the two sides fought is now the Chu State. Even if they lose, Qi State will lose some troops. As long as they are well controlled, the losses will not be too great. However, the Chu State is different. Once they lose, the Chu State will not only lose troops, horses, money and food, but I am afraid that the Lu County will not be able to save the newly occupied Taishan of Pei County. Now, in order to make the Qi people fight for Chu State, it is okay to give up the position of the commander.
"Hahaha, King Deng's proposal is very good. Let Han Qing be the head coach and Long Chuan be the deputy coach. As for the other deputy coach, Deng State would rather be sent by a general to serve as the general. I wonder what the King of Chu thinks?" King Qi did not hear the whisper between Deng Sheng and the King of Chu, but instead reciprocate, let Deng State send one person to serve as the deputy coach.
King Chu looked at King Qi with a deep meaning and said, "Since King Qi and King Deng said so, of course I have no objection, so let General Han Qing serve as the head coach and Longchuan serve as the deputy commander. As for the other deputy commander, let him be arranged by King Deng." In this way, the three positions were decided, and King Chen did not even have the qualifications to speak. Besides, if it weren't for the State of Chen, this Central Plains war would not have broken out. As a fuse, he would not dare to speak.
"Everyone is quiet!" Since the decision was made, the King of Chu stopped the Chu State, who was still quarreling, and after everyone was quiet, the King of Chu said: "After discussing with King Qi, King Deng, and King Chen, it was unanimously decided that General Han Qing of Qi will be the head coach, and General Longchuan and General Yue Fei of Deng will be the deputy commander."
"King!" The general of Chu State looked at the King of Chu incredible ways. The King of Chu would actually give up this position.
Some people were unwilling to give in and wanted to fight for another time, but were stopped by the King of Chu and said, "This is the final decision between me and King of Qi, King Deng and King Chen, and there is no need to say much."
