Chapter 144: Deng Ai, the general of the expedition to the west

Deng Zhong couldn't be more familiar with this big face, because this is the handsome banner of his father's general Deng Ai in the west, he thought that Deng Ai was still two days away from the first camp, and no matter how soon he arrived, he would not arrive here until tomorrow morning, but Deng Zhong didn't expect his father to come so quickly, probably because he knew about the defeat of the first camp.

Thinking of this, Deng Zhong couldn't help but get worried, when he set out on the expedition, he first boarded the camp for a full 5,000 people, except for the 2,000 casualties along the way (this is a non-combat attrition, Deng Zhong is also very easy to explain), in just these two days, the first camp was reduced to only a thousand people, it can be said that this is an unprecedented fiasco since his father Du Yongliang, and even Deng Zhong didn't know how to explain to Deng Ai.

Deng Ai has always been known for his rigorous management of the army, meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment, regardless of relatives or relatives, so Deng Ai has a very high reputation in the Yongliang army, and today the first camp suffered such a heavy loss, Deng Zhong and Shi Su have an unshirkable responsibility, according to Deng Ai's character and temper, it must be indispensable to be punished by military law, and it is very likely that the head will fall to the ground.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, thinking of this, Deng Zhong and Shi Su glanced at each other, both of them were silent, and they went to the Shuai tent to see Deng Ai.

At this moment, the lights in the Chinese military tent were bright, and Deng Ai was lying behind several cases, looking intently at a map. Deng Zhong and Shi Su glanced at it apprehensively, and bowed his hand and said, "The last general will see the governor." ”

Deng Ai raised his head slowly, although Deng Ai was sixty-six years old this year, his beard under his chin had all been dyed white, and his face had a few wrinkles, but his gaze was as cold as ever. That kind of aggressiveness that is not angry but mighty. Let all those who face him shudder.

Now. Two cold rays swept across the faces of Deng Zhong and Shi Su, making the two of them secretly shiver.

Deng Ai didn't seem to be angry, but said in a very calm tone: "Zhong'er, how old are you this year?" ”

Deng Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, Deng Ai didn't ask about the war, but asked about his age, which made Deng Zhong inexplicable, but he didn't dare to talk back. He replied honestly, "My child is thirty years old this Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Deng Ai snorted softly and said: "Thirty years later, Zhong'er, you are also a person who has been in the army, and you have been in the army for fifteen years with your father, and you have also read the art of war that you should read, and you have fought the battles that you should fight, how to march, how to set up a village." You don't need me to teach you anymore, do you? was easily robbed by the Shu army, you are really competent as a pioneer officer? ”

Although Deng Ai was not angry. But when Deng Zhong heard it, he was dripping with cold sweat, and said in fear: "The child is guilty, this matter is all due to the child's negligence for a while, and the soldiers are tired from marching all the way, and the child thinks that in this barren mountains and mountains, there will never be a Shu army attacking, and the enemy will be lightly attacked for a while, which will lead to such a consequence, please ask my father to punish him according to military law." ”

Deng Ai said coldly: "For the generals, when they are always unremitting, how can they have a little luck, march and set up a village, the most important thing is to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks, I have told you more than once, even if there is no enemy attack, you must sleep with one eye open, paralysis and carelessness can only be self-inflicted." Later you yourself will go to the tent officer and receive a hundred clubs as a punishment. ”

"No." Deng Zhong said yes and secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Deng Ai continued: "However, after you were attacked, you were still able to judge the situation and calmly dispatch, gather the remnants to gather the hearts of the army, and complete the counterattack against the enemy in the shortest possible time. As a general, he is not afraid of losing the battle, but he is afraid that after a defeat, he will be slumped, his morale will be lost, and he will not even have the courage to fight. ”

Deng Zhong hesitated for a moment, didn't his father know that he had failed to attack the mountain? How is this possible? But the father's words were clearly words of approval, and he said in a hurry: "The child has lost his father's high hopes, and he has attacked the mountain for a day, but he has not gained an inch of ......."

Deng Ai stroked his beard and chuckled: "Such a result, as early as my father's expectation, since the Shu army can set up an ambush here, it must have made all preparations, and it is impossible for you to attack the key passes, how can you do it with thousands of men and horses in the camp first." But even if you fail, you should also grasp the enemy's reality and reality, and I ask you, the Shu army is stationed here, who is the commander? What is the strength of the troops? How is the equipment? And how is it armed? ”

Deng Zhong looked ashamed and said: "The child has repeatedly attacked, but the Shu army has a stubborn defense, and our army has suffered heavy casualties, and it has not been able to break through the top of the mountain. But the child was presented to the father. Deng Zhong said, placing a black short crossbow arrow on the case in front of Deng Ai.

"Yuan Rong crossbow!" Deng Ai picked up the crossbow arrow, and a bright color flashed in his eyes, this kind of crossbow arrow Deng Ai can be said to be very familiar, the terrifying scene as dense as the torrential rain, it seems to be vivid. This kind of weapon has always been the place where Shu surpasses the military technology of Wei, even the genius Ma Jun has not been able to invent a weapon that matches it, Deng Ai still remembers that the famous generals Wang Shuang and Zhang He of Wei died under this black crossbow arrow, and its power has made the Wei army frightened for so many years.

The Yuan Rong crossbow is a top secret weapon in Shu, and it is not a widespread equipment in the Shu army, and the troops equipped with the Yuan Rong crossbow have always been the elite force of the Shu army, and now it suddenly appeared on the Yinping path, which had to make Deng Ai fall into deep thought.

After a while, Deng Ai took a piece of paper, wrote the paper, and after writing it, put it in an envelope, and said in a deep voice: "Where is Guo Feng?" ”

Guo Feng, who joined the army, hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects and said: "Humble and waiting." ”

Deng Ai handed him the letter and said, "This governor orders you to go up the mountain tomorrow with the book to visit the Shu army guards." ”

Everyone was amazed. Deng Zhong said: "Our army is newly defeated, the morale of the Shu army is flourishing, and my father is persuading him to surrender at this time, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

Deng Ai stroked his beard and laughed: "I have my own opinion on this. ”

After the defeat of the Wei army, Jingjun Mountain ushered in a rare night of peace.

However, Liu Yin didn't dare to relax his vigilance, Deng Zhong was obviously a lesson from the past, condescending, Liu Yin had already seen that the main force of the Wei army had arrived, and the high fluttering Daxu was not Deng Ai's banner?

On the original site of the previous sneak attack, the Wei army has set up a new camp, but it is obviously not the same as the camp set up by the first camp, the camp tent is neat, orderly, uneven, the camp is strong, around the camp, and each set up a sentry camp, looking from afar, the soldiers in armor patrol back and forth, and the guard is extremely strict.

Liu Yin couldn't help but sigh secretly, the previous sneak attack, that is, Deng Zhong led the army, if Deng Ai came, he would definitely not have the slightest chance.

"Young Master Qiqi, there is a Wei envoy at the foot of the mountain who asks to see you." Just when Liu Yin was distracted, the family soldiers suddenly came to report. (To be continued......)
