Chapter 80: Return to Wancheng

In October of the eighth year of Qianyuan, the east and west armies reached a peace agreement outside Hulu City, and each stopped their troops. Since the fourth year of Qianyuan, Chen State attacked Han, and the fuse of the Central Plains War, in the seventh year of Qianyuan, Deng State destroyed Han, officially came to an end. In this battle, South Korea, Lu State was destroyed, and the situation in the Central Plains changed again.

After returning to Peicheng and distributing the spoils, Deng Sheng led a large army back to Wancheng. In the seventh year of Qianyuan, Deng Sheng led a 100,000 army out of Wancheng. He fought fiercely for a year, and there were only 90,000 people when he returned. The biggest loss was Yue Fei and Zhou Shen's confrontation in Fengxian County. Although the Deng army had not fought any war this time, the battle of Fengxian County and Zhuqiu were the main force of Deng's army, so Deng Sheng also got a 500-point battle point.

"Ding! The Central Plains War ended, Deng Jun participated in the Battle of Zhuqiu and the siege of Fengxian County.

In the Battle of Zhuqiu, Deng Jun won, and rewarded 300 points for the battle

Fengxian defense battle, Deng Jun won, rewarded 200 points

Congratulations to the master for obtaining 500 points in the Battle Point, and the current master has 3170 points in the Battle Point."

When Deng Sheng saw the balance, he had more than 3,000 yuan, he wanted to go to the mall to take a walk. What surprised Deng Sheng was that there was actually black gunpowder for sale, but when he saw the price, he was stunned. He actually cost so much 30,000 points, which made Deng Sheng complain that the system was really a black merchant.

Since there is not enough competition for hegemony, Deng Sheng decided to continue to save it.

On the way back to Wancheng, Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao, beside Deng Sheng, were always depressed. The reason was very simple. They did not appear at all in this battle and stayed with Deng Sheng in Peicheng. Although it is also important to protect Deng Sheng, as a general, they were more eager to gallop on the battlefield rather than staying silently watching the show.

Deng Sheng also paid attention to the expressions of Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao, and said with a smile: "General Ma, is General Li depressed for not appearing in this battle?"

"I dare not, protecting the king is our duty." Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao said in fear.

Deng Sheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. I can understand the thoughts in your heart. Don't worry, when the next battle, I will definitely take you two as the pioneers."

"Really?" Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao's eyes lit up and asked in disbelief.

"I am the king of a country. If you don't have any jokes, it is naturally true. Could it be that General Ma and General Li are questioning me?" Deng Sheng deliberately looked stern and said in a deep voice.

"I dare not!" Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao said tremblingly.

"Okay, keep on rushing. My words are true." Deng Sheng said nothing.

"Thank you, King!" Ma Chao and Li Cunxiao said happily.

Deng Sheng walked westward and entered Chen County, he deliberately walked to Wuping and took Deng Ai and 30,000 troops away.

In December of the eighth year of Qianyuan, Deng Sheng arrived in Yangdi, Yingchuan, and met with General Li Tianhu, the cavalry, and Chen Qun, the prefect of Yingchuan. Deng Sheng was very happy and praised them.

Deng Sheng stayed in Yangdi for half a month before continuing to take down Wancheng, and finally arrived in Wancheng before the New Year.

On the day Deng Sheng returned to Wancheng, Prime Minister Cai Feng, who had already retired to the second line, personally led all civil and military officials out of the city to welcome Deng Sheng ten miles away.

After seeing Cai Feng's figure, Deng Sheng quickly dismounted, supported Cai Feng, and scolded the senior officials of the three provinces standing beside Cai Feng: "The old prime minister is old and the weather is so cold, how can you let the old prime minister go out of the city to welcome me? You are simply a mess." Cai Feng is over 60 years old. Although his ability is no longer ranked in Deng State, as an old minister of the three dynasties, Deng Sheng's minister and father-in-law, he still has a high prestige in Deng State. Now it is in the middle of winter and the weather is very cold. If it is for the least to welcome him, Deng Sheng cannot forgive him.

Deng Yong, Cui Hao and Jiang Wan did not dare to reply. Cai Feng smiled and said, "Don't blame them, the old minister insisted on leaving the city, it's their business." "Old Prime Minister, you are in poor health, there is no need to do so. After I return to the city, I will definitely come to visit me in person." Deng Sheng said.

Cai Feng smiled and said without caring: "The king went to the Central Plains to promote the power of our great Deng Kingdom. Today, he returned victoriously. How could the old minister not come to witness it in person?"

Deng Sheng had no choice but to support Cai Feng back to the palace. After returning to the palace, Deng Sheng asked the Secretary of the State Council, Jiang Wan, the Minister of Revenue Hu Weiyong, and the Minister of War Su Hongdao: "Jiang Qing, Hu Qing, Su Qing, the soldiers who were killed and injured on this expedition must be counted well. A lot of pensions will be delivered to their families. In addition, the merits of the soldiers must be recorded and rewarded according to the size of the merits, and no mistakes shall be made."

"Here!" Jiang Wan, Su Hong and Hu Weiyong responded.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "As for the rewards of the generals, we will go to the New Year's Day dynasty to reward them again. You have been away from home for more than a year, and I guess you miss your family very much, so you will all be separated."

"Thank you, I will leave!" So everyone left the palace in groups of three or three.

After everyone left, Deng Sheng first went to bathe and change clothes, and then went to Anlan Palace to pay homage to Empress Dowager Cui. When Empress Dowager Cui saw her son coming back, she was very happy. She took Deng Sheng's hand and looked at Deng Sheng carefully, and kept muttering that she had lost weight and lost weight.

Deng Sheng had to laugh it off and enjoyed it very much. This was a mother's concern for her son who returned from home.

After leaving Anlan Palace, Deng Sheng came to the Kunning Palace of Queen Cai Yan again and met the eldest son of the king, Deng Hao, and at the same time met the second son Deng Han, the third son Deng Yu and their mother. The eldest son Deng Hao is over five years old, while the second son Deng Han and the third son Deng Yu are also three years old.

After returning to Wancheng, Deng Sheng has been dealing with the government affairs that have been accumulated over the past year, and other time has been spent on warming up with his family, which has given Deng Sheng a little peace deep in his heart.

Soon, the eighth year of Qianyuan passed and the ninth year of Qianyuan arrived.

On the 1st month of the ninth year of Qianyuan, Deng Sheng held a grand court meeting in Jingyang Hall and rewarded the generals who went on the expedition.

"Since April of the seventh year of Qianyuan, our army first captured Yingchuan, destroyed South Korea, and then fought against Zhongyuan. It took more than a year. The generals made great contributions. The general of the cavalry, Yue Fei, fought in Fengxian, made great contributions, and added a fief of thousands of households and rewarded tens of gold. General Xue Rengui of Mingwu fought against Zhuqiu in blood. He made great contributions, and was appointed General Anbei. General Chang Yuchun of the Western Expedition, first attacked Han with the vanguard army, made his first contribution, and captured King Han and a number of Korean royal families, and also appointed General Guard. The rest of the generals were promoted to the next level, and were awarded a thousand golds and above. The military commanders of the army Yao Guangxiao, Cheng Yu, Liu Bowen, and Pang Tong, since they went to the expedition, they have repeatedly offered strange plans, rewarded Yao Guangxiao, Cheng Yu, and Baimu, Liu Bowen, and Pang Tong as the attendant, and I have been awarded this!"

"Thank you, King!" everyone bowed.

Although there were some achievements in this battle, those people mainly made contributions, and although the rewards were relatively small.

After reading the reward order, the eunuch took out another order and read it: "Since I ascended the throne, the Great Deng has been in a row. In order to better handle military affairs, I specially set up a Military Affairs Office, headed by Su Hong, named General of Military Affairs, Cheng Yu, Yao Guangxiao, Liu Bowen, and Pang Tong entered the Military Affairs Office to assist me in handling military affairs in various places. I directly belonged to me, and the ministers of the Military Affairs Office were all military advisors, so I admire this!"

Deng Sheng thought about the idea of ​​the Military Affairs Office for a long time, mainly to arrange military advisors stationed in various places so that they could have a formal official position, so as not to be as embarrassed as Pang Tong. When he was in no way successful, although he had been a military advisor under Yue Fei for a long time, he was just a white man.
