I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 298 Deng Sui’s thoughts ([-])
These words of Deng Cheng, the governor of Hanzhong, directly frightened many Hanzhong officials present.

Many people could not help but tremble, as if they were really shocked by Deng Cheng's words.

But whether they were really scared because of Deng Cheng's anger, they still wanted to give Deng Cheng face and cooperate with Deng Cheng's anger.

In short, this guy does have the capital.

Although the most powerful of the Han Dynasty, or the most powerful person in the Deng family, is the current Queen Mother Deng Sui, the real direct descendant of the Deng family is Deng Cheng.

And although Deng Cheng is Deng Sui's nephew, he is much older than Deng Sui.

After all, he is a descendant of Deng Yu's eldest son, Deng Zhen, and Deng Sui's father, Deng Xun, is more than one generation removed from Deng Yu's six sons.

Although Deng Cheng was inferior to Deng Sui and the general in terms of status, it was still not comparable to the subordinate officials in Hanzhong.

When Deng Cheng started to get angry, everyone's attitude immediately became humble.

After seeing this scene, Deng Cheng also knew that now was not the time to be angry with them, and his tone slowed down.

At the same time, he also told everything he saw in the army during this period, and also explained it.

Listening to Deng Cheng's words, everyone's faces gradually became serious.

Seeing that there were no reckless men under his command who did not understand anything, Deng Cheng did not dare to waste any more time. Instead, he began to comfort him and at the same time ordered them to get ready.

"Continue to send food, grass and supplies, the front line must not be defeated!
But now you have all seen this situation, and we must prepare early.

Pass the order and immediately organize manpower to appease the people. If necessary, I can't wait for the battle report from the front line.

Even if the harvest this year and next is delayed, the people of Hanzhong must be guaranteed. "

At this moment, Deng Cheng also made a very painful decision. He was even sure that after this battle, he would most likely lose everything he had now.

Then return to your own home and continue to be a big head of the household
Or he could continue to live on his title of Marquis of Gaomi.

His words were not very clear, but who among the people present was not a human being?
Immediately he understood what the prince meant. It was nothing more than that when necessary, he should move nine times, and when it was time to move with the people, he should take the lead in moving.

Delaying the harvest and allowing the Qiang and Hu to rush over and massacre Hanzhong are two completely different results.

Although saying this seemed to use the soldiers on the front line as a shield, no one wanted to object.

After further discussions, the matter seemed to have been settled.

However, all this also made Deng Cheng feel more panicked and uneasy, so much so that he still hasn't been able to wake up from the news he got from the military camp.

I always feel that there is something else I have overlooked in this matter.

But now, he has no time to waste anymore, he can only let Hanzhong take action first!
But in the other half of Luoyang, things also began to change.

In the Changle Palace, Deng Sui, who had just walked down from the court, returned to the Weiyang Palace with a lot of fatigue, and lay down half-way, looking exhausted.

"Cai Lun."

"Chen is here!"

Upon hearing the call, Cai Lun rushed to Deng Sui immediately, then bowed and asked Deng Sui what his orders were.

Looking at Cai Lun beside him, who was as dedicated and conscientious as ever, Deng Sui couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

"No problem, I just want to ask you if there is any news about the northwest. How is your majesty?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, news came some time ago that Your Majesty has captured the rebel leader Du Jigong alive and surrendered him to his own command. At the same time, with the help of Du Jigong, Your Majesty also changed his original plan to go to Longdao. The idea of ​​​​helping the fight.

Instead, he turned to pacify Beidi County.

The Queen Mother also read the battle report from the day before yesterday.

It said that His Majesty has completely pacified Beidi County and is about to rush to Longdao! "

"Oh, there's still no new battle report?" Deng Sui couldn't help but chuckle after hearing these words, "Your Majesty indeed has the demeanor of the late emperor, and he has pacified Beidi County so quickly.

Back then, the Xianling Qiang and Hu people in the north dared to overstep their bounds and claim to be emperor, which made me extremely angry.

Now His Majesty still takes action to quell it, which is really great. "

After hearing the news, Deng Sui couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction, but when he saw Cai Lun's still rather dull expression, he couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty has such a great victory, why are you still uneasy?

But what else can't be done? "

"Report to the Queen Mother!" Cai Lun sighed directly after thinking about it for a while, "Originally, the people in the court were quite excited.

But after returning to the court, the old general Pang Shen saw the battle report and felt that it was too easy to pacify Beidi County.

Although it is said that Diao Dianling, the pioneer leader of Qiang Hu, has passed away, at least the foundation he left behind is still there.

And his younger brother Diaolang Mo is not a purely incompetent person.

Even though he is not as good as Diao Dian Ling, he still has some talents and is more than enough to protect himself.

Now His Majesty is able to pacify Beidi County relying on Sima Jun and the remaining soldiers under his command. This is not something that can be achieved by simple luck.

It can only be said that this Beidi County does not have the main force to eliminate Qiang and Hu first! "

"Huh?" After hearing this, Deng Sui couldn't help but sit up. "Why is he not in the court? He really can't say anything."

Of course, these words were not spoken directly in the court. After all, during this period, everyone in the court was praising Liu Long.

If someone proposed this kind of argument at this time, they would definitely be attacked by a group of people.

Even Deng Sui couldn't spare him.

So these words could only have been said by Pang Shen himself in private.

As for why Cai Lun was told, Deng Sui didn't bother to ask too much. If Cai Lun didn't even have this ability, he would be really disappointed!

but
"how do you feel?"

"The Queen Mother is joking, and I am just talking about things like this. How can I express any opinions on matters in the court or on the battlefield?

The Queen Mother should not embarrass her ministers. "

Looking at Cai Lun with a chuckle on his face, Deng Sui finally shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that my path is still arduous! Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!"
