Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 118 Developing National Strength
In northern Xinjiang, since Zheng Lun killed Peng Zushou with thunder, the princes who coveted Chongcheng became honest by coincidence, and they all worshiped Yingluan as their leader.Of course, there is one exception, he is Hou Suhu of Jizhou.

Su Hu is considered one of the most famous princes in the world. In the early years of the court meeting, he proposed anti-poetry at the Meridian Gate. King Zhou was furious and sent Chonghou Hu to attack him. He lost the battle because of Ji Chang's penetrating tongue. , successfully persuaded Su Hu to send her daughter to the palace as a concubine.

Daji became the queen, Su Hu rose to the top, and became the head of the dynasty. His status is beyond words.Many princes liked Su Hu's fame and strength, attached himself to him, and encouraged him to compete with Chong Yingluan.

When two tigers fight, there is bound to be an injury. In the eyes of more than a hundred princes in northern Xinjiang, Su Hu will sooner or later have a big battle with Chongyingluan, the yellow-mouthed boy. The winner will be the well-deserved king of northern Xinjiang, just like Ji Ji of Xiqi hair the same.

The situation in northern Xinjiang has been changing in recent years. As a prince, if he has no vision, he may end up like Peng Zushou, beheaded for public display, and his wife and daughter will be divided up.

"Lord Cui, please come to report that 20 soldiers and horses have gathered outside the city of Jizhou. They are practicing every day, and the momentum is huge. I think Su Hu must make some moves in the near future."

Chongfu, originally Chong Heihu's mansion, has now become a place where Cui Ying and the others discuss their affairs.As for Chong Yingluan, he has been living a life of a prisoner in the dark. Besides, there is another person who lives the same life as him, and that is Tu Xingsun.

On the same day, Deng Jiugong's class teacher returned to the court, so he asked Ma Shan to take his troops to escort Tu Xingsun to Chongcheng to join Cui Ying.Ma Shan's performance on the battlefield surprised Deng Jiugong, so he decided to train him as his own. As for Taoist Ran Deng, it may be too late when he knows.

Cui Ying looked serious, glanced at several people, and said: "Since we annexed Peng Zushou's territory, I expected that those princes would not stand still. Hmph, they have good vision, and pushed Su Hu to the front. Fight with us."

After Peng Zushou's death, Su Hu was the only one with the strength to fight against Chongcheng in northern Xinjiang. Cui Ying had already made arrangements and sent a lot of eyeliners to lurk in Jizhou City. Received the news.

Zheng Lun's expression was a little unnatural. After all, Su Hu was his former coach. He might have to meet Su Hu on the battlefield in the future. He couldn't accept it for a while.He is nostalgic for old love, although it is difficult for Su Hu to do anything under Su Hu's hands, but if there is any kindness, he will always have to repay it.

Ma Shan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, in my opinion, it is better to attack first, and then to suffer disaster. We took advantage of the fact that the allied forces of the princes were not fully assembled, and took the lead in a surprise attack on the camp outside the city of Jizhou, catching Su Hu by surprise." .”

After arriving in Chongcheng, Ma Shan looked forward to the stars and the moon, and hoped for a war to be fought. Now that he was finally looking forward to the signs of war, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.As for Su Hu, Ma Shan didn't take it seriously at all, he didn't take it seriously, let alone a head of state.

"General Ma, this plan is wrong. After all, Su Hu is the head of the country, and his status is unusual. He didn't send troops. We send troops first. It is not good for us to spread the news to today's emperor."

Ma Shan said with a smile: "General Jiang is serious. Today's imperial court is no longer the court that ordered eight hundred princes to enter Beijing to court business. It can't take care of itself, so how can it have time to manage us!"

Jiang Xiong pondered and said: "Although that is the case, Daji is a queen, how could she just watch Su Hu's army be defeated and refuse to save her? If King Zhou sent a general to northern Xinjiang to exterminate us, wouldn't it be self-defeating."

Ma Shan brought the news that Deng Jiugong was promoted to Marshal of the Army and Horses. Cui Ying and others learned that they were happy for Deng Jiugong.The bigger Deng Jiugong's official position is, the more beneficial it is to the development of Chongcheng.

Ma Shan was stunned, the commander-in-chief now seemed to be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, if there was a war, he would definitely bear the brunt.

Cui Ying glanced at the two, his eyes flickered slightly, Ma Shan was warlike, he knew it from the first day in Chongcheng, Jiang Xiong used his troops cautiously, and it was normal for him to agree with Ma Shan.He looked at Zheng Lun and asked, "General Zheng, what do you think?"

Zheng Lun thought for a while, and said: "I think that we should not do it before the Marquis of Jizhou. We won Yanzhou, and our strength has greatly increased. Even in the face of Su Hu's allied forces, we still have the upper hand in strength, so there is no need to take a surprise attack. Besides, it is not a good thing for us to attract the court soldiers and horses."

Regarding Deng Jiugong's thoughts and plans, Zheng Lun can barely guess one or two, and at this stage he will not leave the court at all.

Seeing that Zheng Lun did not agree to send troops, Ma Shan couldn't help laughing wryly.

Cui Ying nodded and said: "General Zheng is right. If Su Hu sends troops to attack, we will lead the whole city to fight fiercely with him. The victory or defeat depends entirely on strength. If he does not send troops to attack, we can develop our national strength secretly. "

There are many princes in northern Xinjiang. If they want to enter the world, they must first eliminate those opponents who dare to fight against Chongcheng.

……

The cell, the room was dark and damp, with a musty smell.Tu Xingsun's Niwan Palace was ordered and poisoned forcibly, not to mention that he didn't have the ability to escape, even if he had the ability, he wouldn't dare to leave.

He didn't expect that he risked his life to pass the "Evangelism" to Deng Jiugong, but Deng Jiugong didn't fulfill his promise. Instead, he locked himself in the cell and lived a life of darkness.

"If I had known today, I shouldn't have gone down the mountain."

Tu Xingsun couldn't help sighing, when he was in Dengying, he showed his might on the battlefield, even Nezha was defeated by him.As a result, not long after he joined the Xiqi camp, he became a prisoner instead of making an effort.

"Brother next door, there is no regret medicine in this world. It's useless for you to complain. It's better to accept your status as a prisoner honestly. After staying in the cell for a long time, you will understand this truth."

Tu Xingsun frowned, and asked, "Who are you, why are you preaching to me?"

There was a moment of silence over there, and then he laughed wantonly, with a sense of misery in his smile, "Me, I am the son of Beibohou Chongheihu."

Tu Xingsun was taken aback and said in puzzlement, "You are Chongyingluan. Why are you locked up here? Could it be that you offended your father and were punished." Hearing Jiang Ziya talk about the situation in northern Xinjiang while discussing matters in Xiqi Prime Minister's Mansion, So Tu Xingsun knew about Chong Heihu and his son.

Chong Yingluan smiled wryly and said: "My father has always loved me very much, how could he imprison me here and be with rats and cockroaches all day long."

After Chong Heihu's death, he was invited out of the mansion, put in a cell, and ate leftovers for three meals a day. At first, he was angry, vented, and poured the food on the ground to express his dissatisfaction, but no one paid attention.After a few tries, he accepts his fate as a prisoner, surviving while waiting to die.Tu Xingsun was silent, he slept last night, there were several cockroaches crawling around him, and there were rats making squeaking noises.He glanced at the high windows, his eyes full of longing.

After a long time, he said: "Then why are you here. "

"My father was killed by Deng Jiugong, and I became his prisoner."

Tu Xingsun's heart trembled, his situation was not much better than that of Chong Yingluan, both were meat on a chopping board, if Deng Jiugong was in a good mood, he might be able to survive for a while, but if he was in a bad mood, he would probably die from the poison .
