Chapter 567: Yang Yanzhao rushed to Guangling

After making a decision, Yue Fei immediately drafted a military order, asking the messenger to send back to Murong Ke, Zhang Liao, and Li Siye, and the envoy Lu Meng, who was accompanied by Lu Meng, and then wrote a memorial to send it to Wancheng and presented it to Deng Sheng. As for whether Deng Sheng sent Chang Yuchun or Yang Yanzhao in the end, it was not something Yue Fei could decide.

On March 29, in the 28th year of Qianyuan, on March 29, the Secretary of the Secretariat Cui Hao handed Yue Fei's memorial to Deng Sheng. Deng Sheng did not understand whether to march into Guangling. However, since he handed over all the matters of this battle to Yue Fei, Deng Sheng had enough trust in Yue Fei. Not to mention sending a main general, it would be no problem to continue to increase troops. However, Deng Sheng was still a little confused about whether to send Chang Yuchun or Yang Yanzhao.

"Cui Qing, who do you think Chang Yuchun or Yang Yanzhao is more suitable to go to Guangling to serve as the chief general?" Deng Sheng asked Cui Hao.

This is a difficult problem. After all, both Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao definitely hope to get the position of the chief general. So no matter who Cui Hao said it, after it is spread, he will inevitably be punished. Although he will not make enemies, it is normal to feel resentful.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cui Hao decided to make a living and bowed and said, "General Chang Yuchun and General Yang Yanzhao are both famous generals of our dynasty. They are more than enough to serve as a Guangling chief general. Chang Yuchun has been through a long battle formation and has great military achievements. General Yang Yanzhao has always been in Wancheng, is in charge of the central government, is steady and has a view of the overall situation. No matter who it is, it is very suitable. For whom it is to be asked to go, your Majesty needs to be personally dictated."

After hearing this, Deng Sheng shook his head and smiled. He could hear that Cui Hao was a gangster, and no one offended him. He kicked the ball back directly. However, although it was a gangster, he was more inclined to Yang Yanzhao from Cui Hao's words.

Needless to say, Yue Fei is the three generals of Deng State. His military achievements are brilliant. When Deng State can achieve today, Yue Fei can be said to be of great significance and is the undeserved commander of Deng State. Although Chang Yuchun, although his military achievements are not as good as Yue Fei, was also of great achievements. When Yue Fei could not pull away, Chang Yuchun often served as the commander of the army to supervise the formation. He was a sharp knife of Deng State. There must be no problem with being the commander of Guangling.

As for Yang Yanzhao, although he was known as one of the three major generals, everyone knows that in terms of military achievements, he is far inferior to Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun. After the defeat in Chaisang, he was criticized a lot and was refrigerated for a while. Although he was in charge of the central government for many years and coordinated with the four parties, Deng Sheng knew that this was not what Yang Yanzhao wanted. As a general, he definitely wanted to fight on the battlefield. However, due to the emergence of many talents in Deng, Yang Yanzhao had never had a good opportunity and could only stay in Wancheng to guard his family. To be honest, Deng Sheng felt very guilty about him.

Deng Sheng thought for a while, and then said to the eunuch Gui Xiang beside him: "Gui Xiang, it is said that Yang Yanzhao will meet him!"

"Here!" Gui Xiang responded, then left Jingtai Palace and went to the General Governor's Office to find Yang Yanzhao.

When Cui Hao saw Deng Sheng sending someone to spread Yang Yanzhao, he knew that Deng Sheng had already made a decision in his heart, so he said, "Your Majesty, if nothing is done, I will take my leave first. There are still many things in the Secretariat that I need to deal with."

Deng Sheng nodded and asked Cui Hao to retreat.

Shortly after Cui Hao left, Yang Yanzhao came to Jingtai Hall.

"My minister Yang Yanzhao bowed to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live a long life!" Yang Yanzhao bowed to Deng Sheng.

"No need to be polite!" Deng Sheng signaled Yang Yanzhao to get up, and then looked at Yang Yanzhao happily. When he first ascended the throne, Yang Yanzhao was implanted as a minister of the secret residence. In a blink of an eye, it has been thirty years. Yang Yanzhao is also a person who is almost sixty years old. According to Deng's unspoken rules, it will take a few years to abdicate and give in to the wise.

"Yang Qing, how long have you been by my side?" Deng Sheng asked.

Yang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I have followed Your Majesty when he was in the residence. It has been thirty-three years since his Majesty (although Deng Sheng has only been summoned by Yang Yanzhao for thirty years, he is a minister of the residence after all, so he must have known that he has been thirty years)."

"Yes, it's been thirty-three years. In a blink of an eye, you, my king and minister are old, look at this!" Deng Sheng sighed first, and then handed Yue Fei's note to Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao took the note with a suspicion, opened it and saw that he looked solemn, then smiled. Guangling needed a chief general to supervise the guards, and Yue Fei recommended him and Chang Yuchun to Deng Sheng. Now Deng Sheng summoned him alone, and the meaning of it was self-evident.

Chang Yuchun closed the memorial and bowed his hand to Deng Sheng and said, "Please rest assured, I will do my best to defeat the enemy for the Great Dung!"

Deng Sheng smiled knowingly. It seemed that Yang Yanzhao had guessed his thoughts, so he didn't need to keep him in a silence. So he said, "Yang Qing, Guangling's front line is of great importance. I hope you can win a great victory so that everyone in the world knows that the general of the cavalry of my three generals, Deng, is not a false reputation."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your accomplishment, please rest assured. If you cannot win this battle, I have no face to see Your Majesty again. I will commit suicide in front of the three armies to thank Your Majesty for your deep kindness!" Yang Yanzhao knelt down on the ground, with tears in his eyes. He knew that Deng Sheng wanted him to accumulate military achievements. After all, although he was called one of the three generals of Deng State, his military achievements were not only compared with Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun, but even the generals of the twenty guards had many more people than him, which also caused him to be criticized by many people. Now Deng Sheng asked him to go to Guangling to serve as the chief general and supervise the guards to give himself a chance to prove himself.

"Yang Qing doesn't have to do this. Since I chose Yang Qing, I have enough trust in Yang Qing, and I believe that Yang Qing will not disappoint me and the people of Deng. You can go down and prepare, clean up and go to Guangling. Now that the war is in a hurry, I don't need to say goodbye to me. When Yang Qing wins and returns to the court, I will have a reward. In addition, I have a decree to you. If the war in Guangling is not going well, you can use this decree to mobilize 30,000 elite infantrymen stationed on the Yangtze River to go north to help the battle." Deng Sheng nodded and said. In addition to appointing Yang Yanzhao as the chief general, he also gave him a decree to mobilize the elite of the Angry Jiao Guard.

"Here!" Yang Yanzhao took the order and then left. After all, this was the first time he served as the chief general after the battle to destroy Hunan, and it was also his battle to rectify the reputation. He still needed to prepare well. Moreover, there was not much time left in Guangling, so he also needed to rush to Guangling as soon as possible to get familiar with the troops.

The next day, Yang Yanzhao said goodbye to his family and left Wancheng with dozens of personal guards and rushed to Guangling.

Just as Yang Yanzhao left Wancheng, Lu Meng also brought Yue Fei's military order to Gucheng. Xiang Murong Ke and Zhang Liao did not expect that. After hearing that he wanted to stay in Pei County, Zhang Liao's face showed an unnatural expression. It can be seen that he was a little dissatisfied with Yue Fei's military order at this moment, but the soldiers took obeying the order as their responsibility, and Zhang Liao did not question Yue Fei's military order.

Lu Meng also noticed Zhang Liao's strangeness, and then found Zhang Liao alone and asked: "Is General Zhang dissatisfied with the general's order?"

When Zhang Liao saw that he was seen through by Lu Meng, he was a little panicked, and then hesitated and said: "Military Lu is joking, how could I be dissatisfied with the general? Since the general has such a decision, it must have a deep meaning. As a general, I naturally obeyed. Please ask the military advisor Lu not to make random guesses."

"Haha!" Lu Meng smiled, looking like I had seen through everything, and said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang's thoughts can be guessed. In fact, the general is also afraid that General Zhang will be dissatisfied with this, so he sent him to appease the general very much. If the general refuses to tell the truth to him, then he has no choice but to do anything, right?"

"Military Secretary Lu, I am not hiding it. I am not dissatisfied with the general's military order, but I just don't understand it. It was clearly a letter from me, General Murong Ke and General Li Siye. Why did the general let me and Shencewei stay in Pei County?" Zhang Liao said with complaints.

Zhang Liao was not unwilling to stay in Pei County, but he just couldn't understand why it was him? The three of them wrote a letter together, and Zhang Liao was also one of the planners, so why did he keep him?

Lu Meng smiled and said, "General Zhang doesn't know. In fact, the general has hesitated for a long time when he left who stayed to guard Pei County. After all, this plan was proposed by you, General Murong Ke and General Li Siye. However, the general thought that in the battle in Gucheng, Shencewei would seriously lose troops. If he participated in the war north of Guangling, there would be no more Shencewei Club left. In order to protect the fire of Shencewei, the general would let the general and Shencewei stay in Pei County. Moreover, Pei County is also very important to our army. If Pei County fails, it will be a heavy blow to our army. The reason why the general would name the general and the general stay in Pei County was to recognize and trust the general's ability."

When Zhang Liao heard this, he felt relieved. In fact, Zhang Liao also knew that the most suitable person to stay in Pei County was himself and Shen Cewei. The reason why he complained at the beginning was that he felt that Yue Fei did not believe in his and Shen Cewei's abilities. Now with the explanation from Lu Meng, Zhang Liao no longer got into a stubborn position.

"It's my general Meng Lang. Please don't be surprised by the military advisor Lu. Since this is the case, the general took over the task of defending Pei County. When the military advisor Lu turned around, he could explain to the general on his behalf." Zhang Liao said.

"Don't worry, General Zhang, since the general is here, he naturally knows what the general is thinking. I believe the general will not blame the general, but the general needs to comfort the generals of Shencewei well. Don't let them complain about the generals, so as not to affect the Central Plains War." Lu Meng said, indicating that Yue Fei would not blame Zhang Liao for this, and at the same time, he also hopes that Zhang Liao can comfort the generals of Shencewei well. After all, he is excluded from the list of eastward advances. The general of Shencewei must be dissatisfied and must be comforted.

"Don't worry, military advisor Lu, I know how to do it, but I want to know, the guards gathered in Guangling, who will be the chief general? After all, this time, all elite soldiers gathered together, and they are all arrogant generals. If you are not careful, it is easy to have problems." Zhang Liao said.

Lu Meng replied: "The General was also considering these things, so he did not give instructions to the general. Instead, he wrote to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to send General Chang Yuchun or General Yang Yanzhao to Guangling to supervise the formation. It is unknown who will be the last one."

"Are General Chang Yuchun and General Yang Yanzhao? Well, both generals are famous generals of my great Deng Hexi. One of them will serve as the chief general, and the others will not object." Zhang Liao nodded and said, Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao are currently in Deng's country, with the second only to Yue Fei's status in the army. No matter who goes to Guangling to serve as the chief general, no one will have any objections, which also prevents the guards from making trouble for the position of the chief general.
