416. Get on and off the boat
Deng Chen said to Deng Feng: "Zhu You is your defeated general and was captured by you in the war. Why do you treat him so favorably?"
"Zhu You is my uncle's friend. How dare I be slow to treat my nephew?"
"Isn't it because he is His Majesty's childhood friend and can speak in front of His Majesty?" Deng Chen smiled.
"There is no such thing. I treat him well because he is good at making friends with his uncle. I treat him with the courtesy of an elder." Deng Feng shook his head and denied it, and then sneered: "If I am willing to leave a way out, can Liu Xiu open the door to me?"
"So, I have to thank you for protecting this friend for me." Although Deng Chen did not believe a word of Deng Feng's words, he still followed him and then took the topic elsewhere.
Like Deng Yu, Zhu You met Liu Xiu since childhood and passed by the window in Chang'an. He had a very good relationship with Liu Yan and Liu Xiu. The Liu brothers were in the army, and Zhu You followed him. After Liu Yan was killed, he went to Liu Xiu alone to report the news, and then stayed with Liu Xiu and never left again.
He and Liu Xiu are friends in times of adversity, and are almost the person Liu Xiu trusts the most.
After Deng Feng captured Zhu You, he did not kill him, but treated him very favorably, which shows that he was not very successful and wanted to leave a way out for the end.
If Liu Xiu ultimately unified the world, where will Deng Feng go? If he didn't want to die, he would have to bow his head no matter how hard he was to lower his head. By that time, Zhu You would be the best intermediary.
Although Deng Feng spoke resolutely, he must also plan for the future in his heart.
Deng Feng said: "Is my uncle already so optimistic about Liu Yu? Otherwise, why don't he persuade me to return to the court?"
"It's not clear yet, but in the battle of Luoyang, His Majesty's undefeated myth has been broken. Liu Yu was born as a new hero. One of them went downwards and the other went upwards. At present, in terms of luck, Liu Yu is stronger and naturally has a greater chance."
Deng Chen sighed, "Follow the general trend of the world and identify talents, I am not as good as Deng Yu. I am not as good as you when I win the battlefield and face the mechanism of the enemy. But you can't stand my understanding of Your Majesty's thoughts. At present, although Your Majesty is still holding his breath, he has no confidence in defeating Liu Yu."
"Why is this?"
"When His Majesty was in Kunyang, even though he had only seven thousand Nanyang children, facing dozens of times of the enemy, he dared to lead his army to attack. He should first kill in and kill dozens of people. What a hero he was! But in Luoyang, he had more than 10,000 elite soldiers around him, and he was watching the army being massacred and then withdrew. This..."
Deng Chen stopped, as if he was considering the words, "This shows that His Majesty feels that there is no chance to win at all, and even if he fights desperately, it will be useless. Tell me, how terrible the army of Emperor Jianshi should be!"
"Are all Liu Yu's men under him?" Deng Feng smiled, "That's nothing special."
The giant was a strange man at Wang Mang. He was more than meter tall and had a belt of ten square meters. He had to use a big drum to make pillows when sleeping, and iron chopsticks to eat. Ordinary cars could not sit down, and three horses could not move him. The giant was even more amazing. He could drive beasts such as tigers, leopards, rhinestones, and elephants. Therefore, Wang Mang used him to form a tiger, leopard, and leopard army to fight against Kunyang with Wang Yi.
This legendary powerful figure did not play any role except for severely damaging the morale of the team with his own death. Deng Feng, who was only eighteen years old at the time, almost rode alone in the formation, sniping the giant in front of the formation, shocking hundreds of thousands of new troops.
In terms of personal force, Deng Feng was almost invincible. As for his elite soldiers, Deng Feng led the elite soldiers in Nanyang, which were very powerful, otherwise he would not have defeated Wu Han and Cen Peng's army. Therefore, Deng Feng somewhat disagreed with the so-called Liu Yu's strong military statement.
Deng Chen shook his head secretly. His nephew is very capable, so he is extremely proud. It is no wonder that the word pride is specially designed for capable people. The pride of an incompetent person is not called pride, but arrogance.
Deng Chen said: "Your Majesty is generous and can even forgive the enemy, but he never forgives betrayal. But this time he took the initiative to show kindness, and there is nothing else. He had to bow his head because of the situation. Therefore, you must not agree this time."
Deng Feng smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, you tried your best to ask him to bow his head, but now he bowed his head and told me not to agree. What do you want me?"
"It turns out that this boat sails towards Kingsoft, whoever comes up can make a fortune. Of course, they are rushing to get on, but now the boat may sink, so why are you going to get on? There is a bigger boat there, why don't you get on?"
"Uncle, you are on the sinking ship. You don't think about how to help Liu Xiu stabilize the ship, but you are anxious to arrange for me to get on another ship. You are really a good minister and a good brother of Liu Xiu."
"The rise and fall of the family has nothing to do with the monarch and ministers or brothers. The court has changed a few, but our Deng family is still the Deng family. The Deng family is a high-ranking official of two thousand stones, so it cannot be ruined. Zhonghua and I will still help Your Majesty and work hard to sail. You must also do your best to do your best to work on the ship of Jianshi Emperor. In this way, no matter who they wins, our Deng family will never lose."
Deng Feng smiled and said, "Uncle is really good at stewards."
"You waved your arms and summoned tens of thousands of Nanyang children, and beat Wu Han and Cen Peng to hold his head and jumped up. To be honest, the people in Nanyang in the court felt very relieved. Your Majesty has been ruling over the years and ignored his hometown people. Everyone has their own ideas. When you make such a fuss, Your Majesty not only did not blame us, but instead valued Deng's family more and more because he saw the strength of Deng. If you vote in Chang'an, it will not affect us, but will make Deng's status more stable. And vice versa. With us in Handan, Emperor Jianshi will also look up to you. There is really a day in the future when any ship sinks, maybe we can pull each other."
Deng Chen took care of his long sleeves and said, "So, when Your Majesty said he wanted to send someone to Nanyang, I immediately volunteered to discuss the future with you. This time I brought someone, and you want to take good care of me."
"Who is it?"
"A concubine is pregnant. This is my Deng Chen's seed. I will stay in Nanyang. If I make a mistake in the future, my son will entrust you to you. If it is a girl... I am unlucky, I can only say that heaven will destroy me Deng Chen."
Deng Chen was wandering in Nanyang for half a month, dealing with some family affairs, and then he wanted to take a detour to Runan. Deng Feng said: "Zhu You is useless here, let him go back with his uncle?"
Deng Chen said, "Silly boy, that's General Jianyi and Duyang Marquis are the important ministers around His Majesty. Why don't you take it seriously? He happened to give him to the Cattle Herding Emperor to give him a meeting gift, which is a very substantial gift."
When Deng Chen left, Deng Feng smiled at Deng Zhong and said, "Do you dare to make friends like this?"
Deng Zhong said: "Brother, uncle's words make sense. For the sake of Deng, why don't we join the Cattle Herding Emperor!"
"Do you think he is really for the Deng family? When he rebelled, he didn't consider whether Deng family would be destroyed if it failed. Deng family was a gambler. Now he was about to lose the bet, so he wanted to make a small bet with us, leave a way out, and let us just pull him. After all, just treat you and my brothers as his pawns and set a pre-set. Don't think he has any kind intentions!"
Deng Feng had no respect for this uncle at all, and he spoke sarcastically.
Deng Zhong said: "We don't need other people's kindness, so we just look at whether this matter is beneficial or not!"
