Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 406 Deng Sheng's Persistence

Chapter 4 and Five: Deng Sheng's Persistence
In order to configure the new four guards, Deng Sheng launched a crazy call. This time, the number of people summoned was the largest ever. Twelve generals and four military divisions, a total of 16 people, made Deng Jun's lineup once again reach the pinnacle of history.

After the summoning was over, Deng Sheng summoned General Cheng Yu of the Military Aircraft Division, General Yue Fei of the Dudu Mansion, General Chang Yuchun of the Hussars, Yang Yanzhao of the Chariots, and Han Qing of the Hussars to Qianyang Palace to serve as new soldiers. The formation of the four guards makes final preparations.

"Your Majesty pays homage to you, my king, Wannian!" Everyone looked at Deng Sheng on the throne, and bowed in obeisance.

Deng Sheng nodded, waved his hands, and signaled to everyone that there is no need to be too polite. After everyone got up, Deng Sheng said with a smile on his face: "Zhu Qing, the great victory in the Northern Expedition made my Da Deng catch up with Zhao Guo. It is really gratifying to aspire to be the most powerful country in the world. These days, I have been thinking, since my great Deng has replaced Zhao Guo as the most powerful country in the world, since I am the most powerful country in the world, there should be the most powerful country in the world Strength, but although the results of the Northern Expedition are brilliant, my own strength has also been greatly weakened. Although our army has restored the establishment of each guard after the war, the total strength is still around 60. The military strength is far from enough to support my Great Deng in conquering the world, so I decided to add four more guards, expanding the guards to sixteen guards, with a total force of 80."

Everyone present was not surprised by Deng Sheng's thoughts, because the only way to support Deng Guo to continue to maintain its advantage over Qin and Zhao is to expand the army. Although it is a burden for the country, it is also within a controllable range, and in the hearts of everyone, as the new world overlord, it is not an exaggeration to have a total force of 20 million, and 100 is not too much, compared to the peak Zhao Guo is not as good as it.

What everyone is most concerned about is the staffing of the new four guards. There are four generals and sixteen generals in the new four guards. According to the tradition of Deng Guo, the generals of the first guard must be selected from among the generals in each guard. Yes, that is to say, after the new four guards are established, in addition to the 16 people required by the four guards, each guard will also have four positions vacant. The system has been basically perfected. It can no longer be done based on ability alone, like when Deng Sheng ascended the throne or when the guard system was first established. Now, seniority and merit are more important. Of course, ability is also a very important factor, but But not the only one.

"The generals of the new four guards have already made up their minds. The new four guards are Tianning Wei, Tianwu Wei, Yongning Wei, Yongping Wei, and the general of Tianning Wei is General Zhang Fei of the Spirit Snake Guard. The general of Tianwuwei is Li Jing, the general of Shencewei, the general of Yongningwei is Lu Feng, the general of Nujiaowei, and the general of Yongpingwei is Guan Yu, the general of Shencewei." Deng Sheng said lightly, expressing the feelings in his heart. The people of the new four guards said that they announced it.

After everyone heard this, they all frowned. Among the four, Zhang Fei was one of the most senior veterans in the army, and it was only natural that he was appointed as the General of Tianning Guard. It was Chang Yuchun who praised him very much, thinking that he would be one of the most outstanding commanders of Deng Guo in the next 20 years, not to mention Lu Feng. Almost killed Yang Yanzhao, his abilities are outstanding, and since he joined the Nu Jiaowei, he has performed very well, so it is no problem to serve as a general of the first guard.

There is only one Guan Yu. Since Guan Yu was born, he has not had too many dazzling achievements. Although everyone knows that Guan Yu is outstanding in force and has his own unique views on marching and fighting, but this is not enough, because he has the same level as Guan Yu There are still many people in the Deng army, and there are also many people who are more capable than Guan Yu. If it is based on ability alone, Guan Yu may barely be able to take up the post, but Guan Yu is far from meeting the requirements in terms of qualifications. Among other things, Wang Yanzhang , Li Cunxiao, and Gao Siji are much older than Guan Yu. They are almost at the same time as Yue Fei, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao. They are second only to Chang Yuchun and Yang Yanzhao in the army. , let alone Guan Yu, even if Guan Sheng is still there, he may not be qualified.

"Your Majesty, the three generals Zhang Fei, Li Jing, and Lu Feng are either highly experienced or have outstanding abilities. There is no problem in serving as the generals of the first guard. But General Guan Yu, I am not belittling General Guan Yu. It is really General Guan Yu's ability and qualifications. It's really hard to convince the crowd, I hope the king thinks twice!" Chang Yuchun came out and said, he almost directly stated that Guan Yu was not qualified.

Deng Sheng looked at Chang Yuchun and looked at the others. Although they didn't speak, Deng Sheng also knew that they were thinking the same thing. In fact, Deng Sheng also knew that Guan Yu's ability would be difficult to convince the whole army. Deng Sheng also decided to let Guan Yu take up the post only based on the preference of his previous life. Don't look at Guan Yu's record of flooding the Seven Armies and shocking the Central Plains in history, but it is still not enough for historical figures such as Yue Fei, Li Jing, and Xue Rengui. of.

Although he thought so in his heart, Deng Sheng still hoped that Guan Yu could serve as the general of Yongpingwei. Even if Sheng favored him, he would not take a risk of tens of thousands of elite guards, so Deng Sheng is now thinking about how to persuade the ministers.

After a long time, Deng Sheng said: "I also know about Guan Yu's situation, but I believe that with Guan Yu's ability, there is no problem in taking charge of Yongpingwei, and don't forget that General Guan Sheng died for the sake of Great Deng. , It is also appropriate to thank the Guan family for their kindness!"

When everyone heard this, they were speechless. Deng Sheng was arguing. It is not wrong that Guan Sheng died for Deng Guo, but didn't Deng Guo give enough preferential treatment to Guan's family?Guan Sheng's son, Guan Ling, is already a general of the first guard, Guan Yu is also a general of the first guard, and even Guan Yu's son, Guan Ping, is a general of the first guard. From what Deng Sheng said just now, they could still hear that Deng Sheng was determined to let Guan Yu be the General of Yongpingwei. Military and political affairs are all in charge, but in the country of Deng, Deng Sheng is in charge. As long as Deng Sheng is determined to do something, no one dares to say no.

However, Deng Sheng still needs to be reminded of what will happen when Guan Yu is promoted, so Yang Yanzhao came out and said: "My lord, if General Guan Yu is really appointed as General of Yongpingwei, I am afraid that the generals in the army will not accept it, and there may even be some There may be troubles." Guan Yu's qualifications are not enough, and his ability is not enough to fully convince the public, so I'm afraid there will be some troubles in the future.

But Deng Sheng said indifferently; "What's the matter, if anyone is not convinced, then you can challenge Guan Yu. If Guan Yu is really so unbearable, then naturally you have to give up his position. To put it bluntly, the widow is just Guan Yu was given a chance, as to whether Guan Yu can grasp it, it's up to him!"

Now, everyone has nothing to say. Deng Sheng has said that he is just giving Guan Yu a chance, not to support Guan Yu to the end. If anyone can defeat Guan Yu, then Guan Yu will naturally give up Yongping Wei Da The position of the general was lost, so everyone had no choice but to obey.

Seeing that everyone was finally persuaded, Deng Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since the generals of the new four guards have been decided, they will be the generals of each guard. Zhang Fei, Li Jing, Lu Feng, and Guan Yu will be the new four guards. After the generals, their original positions as generals became vacant. Someone had to take over. In addition to the 20 generals of the new four guards, there were as many as [-] generals who needed to be promoted this time. Not a small number!"

Yes, 20 people. This is the largest promotion of generals in the army after the establishment of the guard system in those years. However, many people in Deng Jun have enough military merits, but they cannot be promoted due to the limited positions of each guard. That's all, but despite this, some generals who have made great contributions have high ranks, and the lowest ones are all miscellaneous. Now that they have positions, they will naturally be promoted. This is understandable.

However, for the candidates for these 20 people, everyone did not call for recommendations, because they felt that since Deng Sheng had already decided on the candidates for the new four generals, then I am afraid that the positions of the twenty generals also belonged to their hearts. , if you speak rashly, if the proposed candidate is not the one Deng Sheng had in mind, wouldn't it be embarrassing to death.
