In June, good news came from the south, after the flooding of 60,000 soldiers and civilians in Xiangcheng and the slaughter of the Deng royal family by the [Shouwang Army] of Jing State, General Guan Ning, the general of the Xinye Army, calculated and adopted the strategy of [Xiashui Xiangling] to dig up the water, so that the border between Qin and Deng became an ocean, so as to hinder the northward movement of the [Shouwang Army].

However, it is also a stopgap measure, after all, once the water is drained by the time the river plummets in September, the border between the two countries will be unimpeded.

When the time comes, Jing State's [Shouwang Army] and [Northern King Army] will be united, and it will be difficult to resist it with the new field army in the south alone.

Wancheng already had signs of the riots on the eve of the Jin and Han disasters, and it was the end of the spring famine, and the price of grain was growing wildly.

Lin Yuyan returned to Wancheng for a few days, but he did not make the slightest move, firstly, the imperial court was not ready to send troops, and secondly, the Yulin army had not yet reached the state that Lin Yuyan had in mind to send troops.

One day in June, Gongziyan's mansion received a letter of worship.

And the owner of the worship post made Lin Yuyan a little surprised, it was the son of the Deng royal family, Gongzi Xu.

Lin Yuyan frowned, this prince sent over with the post, and there was a box of treasures, which was obviously not good.

On the worship post, Gongzixu had only one request, let Lin Yuyan discuss the next session of the Ten Dynasty and agree to the Qin State to send troops to the Deng State.

Although Lin Yuyan planned to agree to send troops to the Deng Kingdom, he accepted a box of treasures from Gongzi Xu of the Deng royal family, and it was not the same thing no matter how you look at it, that is, he asked people to return these jewels to the post station where Gongzi Xu stayed.

On June 15th, Qin Bo, who had been anxious for days, could not sit on the throne with peace of mind, and today's deliberations of the Ten Dynasty were already very obvious, and the matter of sending troops to Deng Guo must be discussed and made a decision without delay.

Perhaps these courtiers have the heart to defend the country, but it makes people believe that it should be the movement of the prince of the Deng royal family, and it is said that he has given many powerful and valuable treasures to the court.

At this time, the Great Qin discussed military affairs, and they all agreed to send troops to Deng State.

Then Qin Bo asked when to send troops and who would lead them, but there was a brief silence, and then a quarrel broke out.

Some people say that they will send troops immediately, and some people say that they will think in the long run, some will let Zhao Jing, the general of the palace guard, be the general, and some will let Sheng Nong, the general of the Wangcheng Guard, lead the troops, and even say that they will select one from the two generals in the northern border army, Ju Xin and Huangfu Gao, to return to Wancheng to lead the troops to the south.

In short, there is no verdict.

In the end, it was Doctor Li who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the prince of the Deng royal family is willing to offer the map of Deng Guonan County, and he is eager for Daqin to send troops!" ”

The courtiers looked at the past, Dr. Li was always decent, but he was not a person who took people's money, how could he speak for the son of Deng Guo?

Qin Bo can be regarded as having found a little eyebrow, and then followed the meaning of frustration and summoned the prince of the Deng royal family to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Gongzi Xu was dressed in mourning clothes, and suddenly the courtiers who received Gongzi Xu's treasures couldn't help frowning, and there were also upright courtiers among them, scolding Gongzi Xu for not knowing etiquette.

Qin Bo also frowned.

Gongzi went up to the court, and performed the etiquette of meeting the princes to Qin Bo, and then said slowly: "The thieves flooded Xiangcheng, and the king of Syria was killed. ”

That's understandable.

Uncle Qin's eyebrows were also stretched, but his face was still solemn.

Gongzi Xu took out the jade box from his arms, then raised it above his head, and said to Emperor Wu: "Xu is willing to offer a map of Deng Guo to show the intention of returning the land to Qin, and ask Qin Jun to send troops to Nanjun!" ”

Gongzi Xu put the jade box in front of him, and then bowed heavily, saluting and pleading.

This knock, anyone can feel the hatred of the country contained in Gongzixu!

But after all, it was not a personal pain, and in an instant, these courtiers turned their attention to what Gongzi Xu was going to say.

Would you like to sacrifice the land of Deng to Qin?!

I already knew that Deng Guo occupied most of the southern counties, with a population of 400,000, and if the Qin State merged with the Deng State, it would sit on the land of the two counties in Lingnan, and with millions of people, it would instantly become one of the second-rate powers in the world.

But now...... The courtiers were also itching, the Deng Kingdom had already fallen into the hands of the Jing Kingdom, and it was obvious that only Gongzi Xu could not recover the country by relying on this Deng royal family, so he wanted to borrow the power of the Qin State to achieve his goal of revenge.

But can you take this hot potato?!

The eyes of many courtiers looked back at Uncle Qin, and the final decision was still made by Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin looked at Gongzi for a long time, and then said to Gao Jin: "Take the map." ”

Gao Jin took the jade box from Gongzi Xu's head, and finally put it on the case in front of Qin Bo, and after taking out the map, he slowly spread it out.

This map is from a silk book, and the strokes on it outline the cities, roads, topography, and rivers of Nanjun, where the Deng Kingdom is located.

Looking at this map, Qin Bo was full of blood, although he knew that Gongzi Xu took out this map not out of good intentions, but if he really occupied the southern county where the Deng country was located.

The territory of the Qin State will span the two counties, becoming the pinnacle of the Great Qin's southward migration, and the exploits established by Qin Bo will be comparable to the founding prince of Southern Qin.

This temptation, Qin Bo couldn't refuse.

Qin Bo's gaze fell back on Gongzi Xu and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I wish to ask Qin Jun to recover the lost land in Nanjun and kill the thief head of Jing Kingdom's [Shouwang Army], Huan Yu!"

"Huan Yu?!"

Qin Bo knew this name, and the battle report sent back by the Xinye Army in the south mentioned Huan Yu many times, the commander of the [Shouwang Army], who was able to attack the Deng State with a population of 400,000 without relying on the support of the Eastern Road [Northern King Army] of the Northern Expedition of Jing State, how could he be a general? !

"Lone can't promise you this!"

Even if the conditions thrown out by Gongzi Xu were very tempting, Qin Bo still knew whether the current national strength of the Qin State could support another national war.

It is not easy to defend the country, and Uncle Qin will not risk spending national strength in order to recover Nanjun, after all, in the north of Qin, there is also a Jin Han clan who is eyeing the country!

But Gongzi Xu, as the only remaining royal prince of Deng State, his promise has nominally included Deng State into the territory of Great Qin.

"Now that the State of Deng has fallen, it is better for Gongzi Xu to stay in the State of Qin." Uncle Qin spoke slowly, and then said: "As for the matter of sending troops, if the courtiers of Great Qin are worried, they will not bother their sons...... Gongzi is in a new funeral, it is advisable to take care of his body, and he can promise you to try to find the body of King Deng and his royal family for a thick burial. ”

Gongzi Xu kowtowed, and his voice sobbed slightly: "Xu...... Thank you, Qin Jun! ”

Uncle Qin asked people to send Gongzi back, and after Gongzi Xu left, Uncle Qin also asked the courtiers again, "What do you think?" ”

Situ Baili Huai said: "Your Majesty, now that Wancheng is empty, it is better to wait for the autumn harvest to collect taxes and then send troops." ”

The monarch pondered, Baili Situ's words were based on reality, and at present, Daqin was indeed unable to send troops.

Qin Bodao: "Before the autumn harvest, all the troops and horses should gather their troops, and when the autumn grain is harvested, they will wave their troops south to support the southern border, as for the leader of the troops, we will discuss it again!" ”

"Whoa!" All the courtiers said in unison.
