In March of the third year of Tiantong, the new emperor of Zhao ascended the throne. Given that the new emperor was still young, the government was regent from the two empress dowagers and five auxiliary ministers. After the ceremony of the ascension ceremony was held, the Zhao State immediately shrank the defense line of the Central Plains to prevent Deng State from taking advantage of the situation when the new emperor of Zhao State ascended the throne and was in trouble.

In the third year of Tiantong, on the first day of April, Deng Sheng once again summoned important officials under his command to discuss matters.

It has been three years since the Battle of the Central Plains. In the past three years, the State of Deng has completely digested the Central Plains he has obtained, and its strength has increased to a higher level. The domestic military force has reached a huge amount of millions. Deng Sheng has officially entered the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his willingness to unify the world is getting stronger and stronger. This time, he summoned important officials to march towards Qin and Zhao. However, whether to attack Zhao or Qin first, it is difficult to unify the opinions of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the new king of Zhao is young and the government is in the hands of women. The five auxiliary ministers in the court fight each other secretly. It is a time when the turmoil of the court. I think that our great Deng can take the opportunity to attack Zhao north and will definitely defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop. Even if we cannot completely destroy Zhao, we can drive Zhao back to the north of the Yellow River and occupy the entire Central Plains." The new Secretary of the Shangshu Ling Hu Weiyong said with a cheerful speech.

Deng Sheng carefully thought about the pros and cons of attacking Zhao. It is true that now is the most turbulent time of Zhao. If Deng sent troops at this time, he would definitely be able to win something. However, what Deng Sheng hoped was not to achieve something. Deng Sheng wanted to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop, but with Deng's current strength, it was still difficult to destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. Zhao dominated Hebei for hundreds of years, had a deep foundation, and the country was in ruins. If the troops were sent at this time, it would definitely arouse the resistance of the people of Zhao. Since ancient times, Yan and Zhao have been generous and tragic. If the Deng army was trapped in the quagmire of war when attacking Hebei, the Qin State in the west would definitely not be able to hold it back. Moreover, Qin and Zhao are all alliances. Once Zhao could not withstand it, Qin would also send troops.

"Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate to attack Zhao!" At this time, the new General of the Cheqi and Cavalry Murong Ke came out and said: "The State of Zhao is in ruins. If I attacked a large scale at this time, the people of Zhao will definitely resist. Even if I can win, it will not be worth the loss. And it will also allow Qin to reap the benefits of a fisherman. I suggest attacking Qin. Qin is the weakest among the three countries. Moreover, although Qin and Zhao formed an alliance, Zhao has now actively reduced its defense line, which has shown that it does not want to confront our State of Deng head-on. Therefore, even if Zhao sends troops to support Qin, there will not be too many. The State of Deng only needs a side division to restrain the Zhao army. Moreover, after taking the land of Guanzhong, the State of Deng will surround Zhao on three sides. By then, no matter where the troops are sent from, Zhao will definitely not be able to stop it."

Some people support the attack on Zhao, and naturally there are also those who support the attack on Qin. Murong Ke is one of them. Moreover, Murong Ke has a very sufficient reason. Even if he can gain a certain advantage in the early stage, if the current Zhao army loses, he will become a soldier and will definitely exert extraordinary strength. Even if the Deng army can win, it will probably be a tragic victory. In the end, it is very likely that the attack on Qin is not as good as Deng. Moreover, the Zhao Dynasty is in turmoil. Even if he can send troops to support Qin, there will not be too many soldiers and horses to be sent out. With Deng's strength, only one or two guards can be used to contain hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. Next, it is enough to concentrate on dealing with Qin.

"Haha! Is General Murong too taking it for granted?" Hu Weiyong, who advocated attacking Zhao State, sneered: "Although Qin State is weak, it occupies natural dangers. Besides, with famous generals like Bai Qi, the Qin army is also a famous tiger and wolf army. Even if Wuguan is in the hands of my Da Deng, it is not easy to attack Guanzhong? The Hulao Pass and Qinchuan natural dangers alone are enough to make countless soldiers of our army hate each other. On the contrary, it is different to attack Zhao State. The Zhao State's lamenting soldiers are also temporarily. As long as our army can defeat it and expose its momentum, what is the Zhao army afraid of?"

It is not impossible to attack Qin, but Qin occupied Guanzhong, which had four barriers and eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, which was a natural barrier that Deng's army could not avoid. Even if Wuguan, one of the four barriers, was in the hands of Deng, it was not so easy to march from Wuguan. Compared with attacking Qin, it was much easier to attack Zhao. As for the situation of Zhao's sorrowful soldiers, in Hu Weiyong's view, as long as it could defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop, it would inevitably leak. Next, Deng's army could completely defeat the entire Zhao State with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"The Hu Xiang's words are wrong!" Murong Ke is not a simple person, so how could it be so easy for Hu Weiyong to be scared so easily? He immediately retorted: "Zhao State has been operating in Hebei for hundreds of years, and the people have returned to their hearts, and the soldiers are inseparable. If Zhao State faces the danger of national destruction, the people of Zhao State can all be soldiered, but Qin State cannot do this. When Qin State entered the pass to destroy the Han Dynasty, it committed a large number of murderous crimes, resulting in the displacement of the people in Guanzhong. Even though Qin State has repeatedly appeased in recent years,

It cannot erase the hatred in the hearts of the people of Guanzhong. If I, Da Deng, can enter Guanzhong, even if the people of Guanzhong do not rise up to welcome our army, they will never compete with our army for the sake of Qin. As for the natural dangers in Guanzhong, it is just a trick for Guanzhong people to entertain themselves. In the face of absolute strength, any natural danger is futile. As long as our army can tear open the defense line of the Qin army, the land of Guanzhong will be allowed to gallop. Once Qin is taken down, a mere Zhao State can be destroyed."

"You have to be able to tear open the defense line of the Qin army. Although Qin is not as strong as my Great Deng, it also has hundreds of thousands of troops. Under strict defense, I Great Deng does not have more than several times the strength of my Great Deng. It is not easy to take down these natural dangers?" Hu Weiyong said.

Deng Sheng on the throne listened to the opinions of the two. It was said that the father said it was reasonable and the mother said it was reasonable. Deng Sheng could not make a decision for a moment, so he said, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be concluded in a short while. I still need to consider the pros and cons of it carefully. This is the end of today's discussion, and I will discuss it tomorrow."

Since it was impossible to make a decision, Deng Sheng simply disbanded and waited for the next discussion. Seeing that Deng Sheng had said so, it would be futile for others to argue again, so he took his leave.

After everyone left, Deng Sheng said to Gui Xiang beside him: "Go and invite Duke Wu to me."

The Duke of Wu was Yue Fei. After resigning from the position of General General, Yue Fei entered the newly established Senate and the Chief Secretary for Political Affairs under the arrangement of Deng Sheng. However, if Deng Sheng had not been summoned by him on weekdays, he would stay at home and enjoy his grandchildren. Now Deng needs to start another war, and the opinion of Yue Fei, the former first person in the army, is very important.

"Here!" Gui Xiang responded and went to summon Yue Fei.

An hour later, Yue Fei came to Ganyang Palace and saluted Deng Sheng and said, "My dear Yue Fei, my minister, to Your Majesty!"

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Yue Qing doesn't have to be polite. I invite Yue Qing to come today. I have something to ask Yue Qing about my opinion." Then Deng Sheng told Yue Fei about what he had just discussed.

After hearing this, Yue Fei frowned. This is not a trivial matter. It is related to the great cause of Deng's unification of the world. If it goes well, Deng's country can destroy Qin and Zhao in one fell swoop with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. However, once it fails, the advantages established by Deng's country will disappear in an instant, and also give Qin Zhao a chance to breathe. It will be even more difficult to attack Qin and Zhao in the future.

"I don't know if Your Majesty is inclined to attack Zhao or Qin?" Yue Fei thought about it and did not respond to Deng Sheng's question directly. Instead, he asked Deng Sheng whether he was inclined to attack Qin or Zhao. After all, it was useless for the ministers to fight for the sky and the earth. In the end, Deng Sheng was the one who made the decision. And Yue Fei believed that Deng Sheng had actually made a decision in his heart, but it was just difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Those who know me are Yue Qing!" Deng Sheng sighed with a smile: "Yes, actually, Su Qing had already advised me before he died that Qin was the biggest stumbling block for my great Deng to unify the world. In the past, due to the pressure of Zhao, I had no choice but to focus all my energy on Zhao. However, now Zhao's vitality has been severely damaged in the battle of the Central Plains. In addition, the new king ascended the throne and the turmoil of the court has no threat to our great Deng. It seems that it is time to free up hands to deal with Qin. If we continue to point the finger at Zhao, it may give Qin a chance to grow. It will be much more difficult to deal with it in the future. However, Qin occupied natural dangers and wanted to attack Guanzhong, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven. I have no choice in my mind."

Deng Sheng is actually more inclined to attack Qin. After all, although Zhao is stronger on paper than Qin, if you really fight, Deng Sheng can destroy Zhao in minutes, but it is difficult to destroy Zhao. On the other hand, Qin is different. The land of Guanzhong has unlimited potential. If Deng wastes too much time on Zhao, it is very likely that Qin will give him the opportunity to grow. By then, it will not be so easy to deal with Qin.

Yue Fei also knew Deng Sheng's concerns, so he thought for a while and said, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much. Although the Qin army is strong, it depends on who can command it. Among the generals of Qin, no one can pose a threat to our army except Bai Qi. Although Bai Qi has regained the army, it is only a part of the military power. The Qin Emperor's trust in it is also very limited. Now the Qin State is the people who are truly in charge of military power. These are certainly rare generals in the world, but there is still a big gap compared with the generals of our dynasty. As long as Bai Qi can be restrained, others will not be our opponents at all. As for the natural danger, to be honest, it is not a problem in the face of absolute strength. If nothing else, just talk about Qinchuan, the eight hundred miles of general Li Jing, with the ability of the Tianwu Guard, Li Jing, to make a breakthrough. If the march is really not smooth, as long as the words of Your Majesty, I will be able to wear armor and go into battle immediately."

Yue Fei is still very confident about the strength of the generals of the Deng army. Why can Deng stand out among the countries and eventually become the biggest favorite to unify the world? Isn’t it because of this group of top famous generals? In Yue Fei’s view, with the strength of Deng’s generals, no one in the Qin State can compete except Bai Qi. Besides, if the progress really does not go well, Yue Fei can also wear armor and go into battle again. Although Yue Fei has retreated, in the eyes of the world, the number one general of Deng State is still Yue Fei, and Yue Fei is also another invincible existence after Zhao Xin.

After Yue Fei said this, Deng Sheng suddenly became clear. Yes, in terms of strength, the two Qin countries will not be the opponents of Deng. Qin countries will only have 300,000 soldiers and horses to survive, and it is very likely that there will be less than 300,000 soldiers and horses. Among these soldiers, there are still some places guarding Xiliang. Xiliang is where Qin countries started. Even if Qin took over Guanzhong, the importance of Xiliang has not decreased at all. Therefore, Qin has always stationed heavily in Xiliang. There is no major event. These soldiers and horses will not be easily transferred to Guanzhong. Yes, after all, Xiliang has never been calm, and the Qiang people's rebellion has never stopped. As for the natural dangers of Qin, to be honest, no matter how dangerous it is, it cannot be achieved in the face of absolute strength. Guanzhong is more dangerous. How many soldiers can be arranged under the division of Qin? In this regard, Deng State only needs to leave two or three guards to guard Zhao State, and one or two guards to guard the important areas of the country. The rest of the troops can be sent to attack Qin State, and can easily dispatch 500,000 and 600,000 troops. What is the natural danger?
