Feng Ji is not a cat or a dog, if Deng Ai has maintained the combat effectiveness of 20,000 cavalry, Feng Ji will definitely not dare to rashly lead the troops over.

The most likely thing to happen is that Feng Ji first stationed troops in Guangyang, and Jixian County became a corner, and then recruited soldiers and horses from the rest of Youzhou, and let Guangyang defend the city to the death.

In this way, even if Deng Ai had 20,000 cavalry under his command, he could not break through Jixian, the capital of Youzhou, let alone force Fengji to death.

It's just that Deng Ai ordered the horse to be killed, making a false impression that the ammunition was exhausted, and Feng Ji bullied Deng Ai young, so he intended to make a contribution.

I never thought that although Deng Ai was young, he was not a good match, but he seized this opportunity, not only captured Jixian County, but also wiped out all the soldiers and horses brought by Fengji.

Even Feng Ji himself killed himself in front of the battle.

It was a perfect win for Deng Ai.

"Ah Ai, General Zhang Liao led 50,000 troops to conquer Ban's, and then led the army all the way east, because many county soldiers were taken away by Fengji, and the counties fell in the wind."

"By now, the entire Dai County has changed its flag, and General Zhang Liao is reorganizing his troops and horses to prepare to attack Shanggu County."

Tang Chen broke in, his face was full of joy, and Deng Ai and Zhao Huang were also overjoyed when they heard this.

In fact, Zhang Liao has always been a liking to death.

Although Tai Shici shot an arrow at Zhang Liao, he was grabbed by Zhang Liao with his right hand, and Zhang Liao had armor on his chest, so he was not shot dead at all.

Deng Ai found out that Zhang Liao had cheated to death at that time, and he would have that kind of reaction on the battlefield, if Zhang Liao hadn't suddenly said a word, things might have been a goof.

Later, Deng Ai used the pretext of burying Zhang Liao's body to let Zhang Liao disappear with his own soldiers, and he himself disappeared later.

Compared with Zhang Liao, Deng Ai has some unremarkable reputation, even if he disappears a little inexplicably, it will not arouse suspicion.

It's just that before that, Chen Xu gave Zhang Liao an order, giving him the opportunity to cheat to death on the battlefield, sneak back to Bingzhou in the future, and take the entire Youzhou by surprise.

Zhang Liao is a general with a name and surname under Chen Xu, and if he does not cheat his death and suddenly disappears, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the coalition forces.

Of course, in Zhou Yu's raid, Zhang Liao was indeed defeated, and the soldiers and horses in the camp were almost killed and wounded.

But Zhang Liao did not slump for this, but instead deceived and killed the coalition army out of sight, and then secretly sneaked back to Yanmen County.

In fact, at least 50,000 soldiers and horses were gathered in Yanmen County, and Zhang Liao's banner was not wrong at all, but he deliberately let the soldiers move around the barracks less, and deliberately let the Yuan army scouts find the abnormality.

After the Yuan army scouts reconnoitred many suspicious places, they decided that the Bingzhou army was bluffing.

Fiction is real, reality is fiction, Zhang Liao used this art of war to the fullest.

At this time, the news of Deng Ai's raid on Guangyang County reached Feng Ji's ears, and Feng Ji thought that Deng Ai was trying to disturb Youzhou and force Yuan Tan to lead his troops back to help.

In order to stabilize Youzhou, Feng Ji led a large number of soldiers and horses to leave, and almost transferred all the soldiers and horses of Daijun.

Zhang Liao had 50,000 generals, and it was very easy to capture Ban's, and as for other county seats, it was decided that Zhang Liao would take Dai County in a battle, and the western gateway of Youzhou was opened.

Zhao Huang said excitedly: "Ah Ai, since General Zhang Liao has already sent troops and is preparing to attack Shanggu County, why don't I send troops to help General Zhang Liao and attack Shanggu from east to west?" ”

Shanggu County is located between Dai County and Guangyang County, if Zhang Liao and Deng Ai send troops to attack together, Shanggu County can be broken overnight.

Deng Ai pondered for a long time, but shook his head firmly.

Walking to the side of the map, Deng Ai pointed to the three county towns and said: "In the entire Youzhou, only these three county towns are the richest and most populous. ”

The three counties that Deng Ai pointed to are Guangyang County, Zhuo County and Yuyang County, which are connected from southwest to northeast, of which Zhuo County is closest to the south.

Deng Ai moved his finger to Zhuo County and said, "Zhuo County is the northern gateway of Jizhou, and it is also the richest county town in the entire Youzhou. ”

"I'll wait for the surprise to eliminate Fengji, and the Jizhou side may not be able to react in the short term, but if it is delayed for a while, there will be Jizhou soldiers and horses entering Zhuo County."

"If you attack Zhuojun now, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will definitely not be able to react."

"In this way, it can not only take the richest county town in the entire Youzhou, but also cut off the connection between Youzhou and Jizhou."

"At that time, as long as we can hold Yuyang, the entire Youzhou will change hands from now on."

Deng Ai's eyes emitted a scorching light, almost able to melt the map.

Zhao Huang was shocked in his heart, and said: "Now that Guangyang County is Chuke, the nearby county town has not yet been taken, and it is probably inappropriate to rashly lead the army to attack Yuyang." ”

Deng Ai said: "Jixian County was defeated, Guangyang Taishou died in battle, and the rest of the counties in Guangyang County are not worried." ”

Speaking of this, Deng Ai smiled mysteriously and said, "When you release rumors, it will be said that Yuan Tan was defeated and died in Guanzhong, and the King of Qin broke the alliance of the princes in a battle. ”

"Then order the surrender of the county towns, if not, the chickens and dogs will not be left on the day the city is broken, and the generals who defend the city will punish the nine clans!"

Hearing Deng Ai's murderous words, Zhao Huang couldn't help but be shocked, and then took the order and left.

Ancinai is the southernmost county seat of Gwangyang County, covering an extremely vast area and having a large population, so it has always been a fat shortage.

It's just that the Anci County Commander has a panicked look on his face today.

"In the Ming Court, it is rumored that the lord has been broken by the King of Qin in Guanzhong, and the people in the territory are panicking."

"Then Deng Ai has already issued an ultimatum, if we don't surrender again, there will be no chickens and dogs left on the day the city is broken, and even all our relatives will be killed!"

There was a look of horror in the county lieutenant's tone, and now there were some six gods without masters.

Guangyang Taishou died in battle, and the news of Fengji's defeat had already spread, and at that time, Anci County Commander felt dizzy and knew that Youzhou was going to change.

Not to mention, he is a courtier of the Yuan family, so he has always insisted on not surrendering.

But when the rumors of Yuan Tan's defeat and death were flying all over the sky, the Anci County Order was a little shaken.

Deng Ai's subsequent ultimatum was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the Anci County Commander finally make up his mind to surrender.

After all, Anci County Commander also has his own family, and it is impossible to bring the people in the territory to the funeral because of his own resistance.

Although he was not very sure that if he resisted to the end, Deng Ai would really slaughter the city and exterminate the clan on the day the city was broken, but the Anci County Order could not afford to gamble.

What's more, now the people in the territory are panicking, and the county officials have long had the heart of surrendering, if the county order insists on resisting, I am afraid that the subordinates will take off their heads and sacrifice them to Deng Ai to protect themselves.

So after thinking about it again, Anci County Commander has already made a decision in his heart.

He said to the county lieutenant: "Now that the troops of Jizhou and Youzhou are empty, Zhang Liao led 100,000 troops to capture Dai County, and Deng Ai led 50,000 troops to attack Guangyang County. ”

Although Zhang Liao only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, he put up more flags along the way and falsely claimed to be 100,000.

As for Deng Ai, although there were only 20,000 cavalry under his command, after collecting thousands of soldiers and capturing some strong and strong people, there were also 30,000 people.

Deng Ai is also widely erected, known as 50,000 elite soldiers, and his power is very many.

Therefore, the Anci County Order said that Zhang Liao raised 100,000 troops and Deng Ai commanded 50,000 troops, so as to put pressure on the county lieutenant.

Unexpectedly, the county lieutenant also had the heart to surrender, and immediately said: "There are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the county, how can you stop the army of hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in the state?" In my opinion, it is the best policy. ”

The county commander was secretly happy when he heard this, but he still said on the surface: "Although the Bingzhou army is powerful, how can I do such a disloyal thing as a courtier of the Yuan family?" ”

The county lieutenant originally wanted to persuade the county order to surrender first, and then kill it and sacrifice it to the city if the persuasion failed, but when he heard the county order say this, he immediately felt happy in his heart and knew that there was a play.

The county lieutenant hurriedly said: "Having said that, if we insist on resisting, won't the people of the city turn into dead souls on the day the city is broken?" ”

"Compared with the lives of the people in the city, what is the infamy of one person? I also hope that the Ming Court will plan for the people and open the city to surrender! ”

The county commander was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "It's not that I'm not loyal to the lord, but the destiny is like this, and I can't bear to bury the people of the city for me, so I can only sacrifice the city." ”

Deng Ai's series of actions really made the counties of Guangyang County look down, and only An Ci has not moved.

Deng Ai was furious and ordered Zhao Huang to guard Jixian County, but he himself led the army to kill Ben Anci, but before the army arrived in Anci, he got the document of surrender from Anci County.

Deng Ai was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked the Anci County Commander to reinstate his original position, and then transferred his troops to Zhuo County.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who captured the entire Dai County, immediately led his troops to attack Shanggu County after settling down the affairs of the county.

There is a shortage of soldiers and horses in Shanggu County, and there are no generals stationed there, and Zhang Liao claims to have 100,000 generals, which frightens various counties to open cities and surrender.

Just after Zhang Liao took most of Shanggu County, he learned that Deng Ai had captured this Guangyang County and had entered Zhuo County.

Zhang Liao immediately said to Zhang Yang: "The lord's eyes are like torches, and he has always been very accurate in seeing people. ”

"Although I was optimistic about Deng Ai at the beginning, I didn't think that he would be able to do this perfectly, and after taking the entire Guangyang County, he would be able to accurately capture the battle situation and attack Zhuo County without the slightest hesitation."

"Such a person, in time, will become a pillar of talent."

Although Zhang Liao said this, he also had some thoughts in his heart, feeling that Deng Ai was too radical and too utilitarian.

If there are no checks and balances, Deng Ai will become a disaster in the future.

After Deng Ai took Guangyang County, he did not think about attacking Shanggu County with Zhang Liao, but directly led his troops to take it.

Although this approach is correct, it is also suspected of stealing credit.

In Zhang Liao's view, Deng Ai is so sharp at such a young age, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself, and it is easy to be blind to his great achievements in the future, which leads to the fear of the monarch and his death.

It's just that although Zhang Liao has this idea, he won't say it, he just knows it in his heart.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I heard that General Deng Ai has invaded Zhuo County, and the road is like a split, so half of Youzhou has already belonged to our army, even if Yuan Tan leads the troops back, he is powerless to return to the sky." ”
