Chapter 155: Deng Ai's Future
"That's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" Cao Liang saw that his name was listed at the end of the official document, and he was a little surprised.
Deng Ai signed Cao Liang's name at the back of the plan, which means that the plan was created by two people.
To be honest, this water conservancy plan is Deng Ai's painstaking work, and it is also a stepping stone for him to seek a career, although Cao Liang gave him a few suggestions, but it is far from enough to share his credit.
"See you Gongzi Cao...... Far-reaching, discerning eyes like torches, mending ...... To make up for the shortcomings, this plan has been perfected, and Cao Gongzi has ...... A lot of work. Deng Ai said very sincerely.
In Deng Ai's view, Cao Liang's suggestion can be said to be word for word, the whole plan has been improved a lot, compared to the original plan, it is almost reborn, signing Cao Liang's name is not only an affirmation of Cao Liang's suggestion, but also a kind of respect for Cao Liang, so Deng Ai did not hesitate to sign Cao Liang's name behind the copy.
Cao Liang wanted to refuse, but his mind moved, and he still stopped.
How did Deng Ai get his fortune? Cao Liang remembered very well that it was Deng Ai who inadvertently came into contact with Sima Yi during a debriefing in Beijing.
Encountering Sima Yi can be said to be a turning point in Deng Ai's life, since then he has been a green step, with his own talents, down-to-earth, hard work, step by step to rise to the position of general of Zhengxi, and finally succeeded in destroying Shu and achieved immortal achievements.
Of course, Deng Ai went from the peak of his life to the abyss of death, that is, only a line apart, after the destruction of Shu, he was framed by Zhong Hui and imprisoned and even beheaded in a different place, Deng Ai's experience made people sigh.
But this is a later story, it is more than 20 years later, and now, it is obvious that Deng Ai has not met Sima Yi in his life, maybe this time when he came to Luoyang, Deng Ai was appreciated by Sima Yi to be reused, and what Cao Liang has to do now is to cut off the beard.
How do you cut off a beard?
The easiest way is not to let Deng Ai see Sima Yi, even if Sima Yi is as wise as a torch, it is impossible for him to want to promote him before seeing Deng Ai, unless Sima Yi can pinch and calculate that Deng Ai is a famous general.
As long as he thinks of blocking the way for Deng Ai and Sima Yi to meet, then Deng Ai will no longer be able to work for the Sima family.
But to prevent Deng Ai and Sima Yi from seeing each other, it is impossible for Cao Liang to come hard, so he will not arrest Deng Ai and prevent him from seeing Sima Yi, right?
And seeing Deng Aixing's appearance of rushing into Beijing with this plan, Cao Liang felt that the chance of success in fooling him was not great, and he would not give up if he didn't let him hit the south wall by himself.
Deng Ai is full of confidence in this plan, he has carefully prepared for many years, and attaches great importance to this report.
If Cao Liang dissuaded him from entering Beijing at this moment, it would obviously not work.
Deng Ai left Cao Liang's name on the plan, so that Cao Liang couldn't help but be bright, if this plan is not bad, it will definitely be handed to Sima Zhao, the content of the plan will be favored by Sima Zhao Cao Liang is unknown, but if Sima Zhao sees Cao Liang's signature behind the plan, it will definitely be an unexpected "surprise".
Don't say it, just with the word Cao Liang, it is enough to kill Sima Zhao.
Cao Liang is very clear about his position in the hearts of the Sima family at the moment, it is definitely as deep as the sea, and it is not the same as the sky, Deng Ai took the plan signed by his name, I am afraid that he will have to take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat.
Therefore, Cao Liang, who originally wanted to refuse, thought about it for a while, and decided to do it according to Deng Ai's wishes, and secretly sneered in his heart, Deng Ai will definitely be planted on this plan this time.
A famous general like Deng Ai, who is both wise and brave, Cao Liang can't meet that, and now that he has met it, he has to find ways to prevent him from working for Sima Yi, and do his best to recruit him to his command, this is not a simple matter of one plus one subtraction, a heavyweight general like Deng Ai will definitely play an extremely important role in the competition with Sima Jia in the future.
Originally, Cao Liang was going to rush to the Xiaoqi camp, but now that he met Deng Ai, he was not in a hurry, his father's affairs could be done at any time, but Deng Ai was unattainable, if he missed it today, it might lead to a lifelong regret.
At this time, the wine and food of the store are ready to stop, these small village shops are naturally not as good as those big restaurants in Luoyang City, but the pheasant, hare and wild boar have a different flavor, Cao Liang is not short of money, and ordered the store to take out the best wine and food to entertain Deng Ai.
Deng Ai was a little forgiving, it stands to reason that Cao Liang helped him today, and he should have invited him to this meal, but Cao Liang didn't give him a chance at all, threw out a piece of gold in advance, and paid for the wine and food.
In fact, Cao Liang also saw that Deng Ai was shy, as a petty official like Cao Cao, he didn't have much money to take at all, and a meal would cost him more than half a month's worth of rice, so that Deng Ai could drink the northwest wind in the second half of the month?
Cao Liang has some friends with Deng Ai, so he is naturally not stingy in spending money.
Deng Ai said: "Young Master Cao, this ...... This meal should be pleased. ”
Cao Liang smiled and said: "Brother Shi Zai and I hit it off at first sight, what is a little wine and food?" Come, this glass of wine to pay tribute to the brother of the scholar, and wish the brother of the scholar to enter Beijing this time, show great pictures, and rise to the top. ”
Deng Ai was very happy when he saw Cao Liang so bold, and said, "Thank you Cao Gongziji...... Ji Yan. "It's all about drinking.
After eating, the clouds and rain stopped, and the weather changed, Deng Ai was anxious to rush to the Diannong Zhonglang General's Mansion, so he said goodbye to Cao Liang.
Cao Liang didn't keep it anymore, just said something like smooth sailing, watching Deng Ai leave happily, in fact, Cao Liang had already mourned for him in his heart.
Deng Ai is destined to return disappointed.
If Cao Liang's name was not signed on that plan, perhaps Deng Ai would be valued by Sima Zhao, and then recommended to Sima Yi to start his smooth career.
But now it is precisely because of the word Cao Liang that it will only anger Sima Zhao, even if Deng Ai's water conservancy plan is excellent, in Sima Zhao's eyes, it can only be a pile of garbage.
If it is Sima Yi instead, Deng Ai may still have some hope, after all, Sima Yi has a poisonous eye and a wise mind, if Deng Ai is really considered talented, he can be reused regardless of his previous suspicions.
But is it Sima Zhao instead? Cao Liang said hehe, Sima Zhao's mind is far worse than Sima Yi, and it would be polite not to blast Deng Ai out.
