277 Conspiracy
Deng Ai's situation is much more troublesome than Liu Yan.
People are not sages, and everyone has shortcomings, and Liu Bei is no exception.
Thinking back to the time when the Eastern Wu killed Guan Erye, Liu Bei was furious and led hundreds of thousands of troops of Shu Kingdom to fight eastward. This was undoubtedly the most critical turning point in the late history of the Three Kingdoms.
At that time, Shu Kingdom was at its peak and it was the best time to subvert the foundation of Wei Kingdom.
Zhuge Liang tried hard to persuade him to put the overall situation first and not to fight with Eastern Wu, but Liu Bei's death of the Second Master was even more painful than losing his son. At this time, Mao could not listen and just headed eastward and camped in the forest.
Liu Bei failed to correctly view his tactical ability during this trip, and hundreds of thousands of troops were burned to pieces by Lu Xun.
After finally commanding the war personally, he killed so many lives. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all dead, and Liu Bei was also ashamed of his heart and died in Baidi City.
From then on, Shu embarked on a path of no return of defensive counterattack and vulgar temptation.
This is Liu Bei's only weakness, black-hearted and revenge, and he must be a Scorpio.
Similarly, he would not let Deng Ai, the enemy who destroyed Shu, go to the past.
This undoubtedly left Deng Ai with no choice and was attacked from both sides, one side taking his own life and the other side taking his own city.
This is also a basic situation in the Three Kingdoms. If you force people too much, it is equivalent to pushing him into the arms of a third party.
Tao Qian was forced to win and threw himself into Liu Bei; Liu Biao was forced to win and Liu Bei; Ma Chao was forced to win and Liu Bei; of course Liu Bei himself was not honest, he was forced to win and he also voted for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
The flaws of personality have created the current situation. Zhuge Junyi could not persuade his lord, so he had to use diplomatic means to divert the attention of the Southern Barbarians, throw out Chengdu and the "arms" pastry, and strive to take Jiangzhou peacefully. You can take Yizhou when you advance. You can take Jingzhou when you retreat.
But all of this was cracked by the great military advisor Wang Yuyan who was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Jiangzhou Assembly Hall, Deng Ai led his generals to look at each other with Military Commander Hua. Both sides did not speak, nor did they need to speak.
Deng Ai is over 40 years old and his temples are already fifty. Although his eyes are sophisticated, he always has an indescribable vicissitudes and desolation.
"Military Hua, please use tea." Deng Ai raised his arm to show respect. He already knew deeply that this southern barbarian was no longer the imagined southern barbarian, and that civilized Chengdu even surpassed the Wei Kingdom.
"Thank you." Yu Yan also gave him enough face and raised his glass to drink together.
Then she quietly put down the teacup and asked Youyou: "General Deng, you are very unwilling to accept it."
"..." Deng Ai was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head with a wry smile, "I am not willing to give up. When he realized that Jianning was empty, he hesitated for a moment and failed to take it down in front of the Southern Barbarians, missing the only opportunity."
Yu Yan covered her face and smiled, "General Deng is really honest."
Deng Ai also laughed dryly.
"But what I asked is not now." Yu Yan said softly. "It's the original."
"So..." Deng Ai closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about what happened back then.
Yu Yan's voice is sweet and gentle, with a kind of maternal love.
"General Deng, you were born in a chaotic world. You lost your father since childhood and had no support. You were only interested in learning. When you were young, you finally got the position of the Diannong School Captain. But the local county magistrate bullied you and sent you to be a stinger to guard the straw. Even so, you still persevered. When you guard the straw, you did not forget to survey the terrain of the mountain roads and study military tactics. You didn't mind being ridiculed by others."
"In this way, twenty years have passed, and you have only been promoted to the Dian Agricultural Gongcao, responsible for the military farming. One day, you go to Luoyang to report on farming matters and have the opportunity to meet Sima Yi. He appreciates your talent and starts to improve all the way."
"After that, you used your years of farming experience to improve the internal affairs of Wei State, dig canals and irrigate fields, and marching large military camps. In ten years, the huge machine of Wei State could operate rapidly. The Wei State could not be separated from the efforts of General Deng."
Deng Ai sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "It's all the past."
Yuyan was not impatient or impatient, and continued to gently and carefully, like lifting up the dusty past as if she had opened a delicate picture.
"After that, General Deng expelled the Xiongnu, fought against Jiang Wei, crossed Yinping, and took Chengdu, and made great achievements, no less than the Sima family's military achievements."
"After taking Western Shu, General Deng loved the people as his son and worked diligently in his internal affairs. However, General Deng had made great achievements and was entrenched in the treasure land. Under the suspicion of the lord and the slander of the Sima family, he was finally convicted and sent to the Western Regions. On the way, he was killed by an assassin..."
"The descendants said that - Emperor Wei was born in the time of the Emperor. They were loyal to the country, and they were determined to calm the smoke and dust. They pacified Bashu, restored the temple and Qin. They were not lost, and they were stimulated by the descendants..."
"Enough."
At some point, Deng Ai was already in tears, closing his eyes and looking up at the sky, feeling indescribable sadness.
"I am proud of my contributions and being harmed by others, I deserve it..." Deng Ai choked silently, "But my wife, children and grandchildren... what's wrong with me?! I have benefited the people and the Wei Kingdom in my life, but I have only harmed my family..."
Deng Ai kept pounding his chest.
"Father..." Deng Zhong, the son of Deng Ai, also lamented and went to support his father, "Father, no one blames you. His father is loyal to the country. Later history can tell, but the Sima family is despicable and harmed his father. If the son can live longer, he must have been beheaded Sima's dog head and hung it on Luoyang City for seven days and seven nights!!"
Deng Ai shook his head and kept shaking his head: "Son, you must cherish the present time and do not be eager for quick success or short-term profit."
At this moment, suddenly, I heard a loud laugh, and Yu Yan's voice became excited abnormally.
"Why can't you be eager for quick success and instant benefits?" Yu Yan stared at Deng Zhong and asked, "General Deng Xiaoping, he had a battle with Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Kingdom, and almost won. Your talent was no less than Jiang Lang. It's a pity that he died before he could succeed. Are you willing?"
"I..." Deng Zhong was shocked. Before he could display his talents, he was killed and died young. How could he be willing to die?
"I'm not willing." Deng Zhong clenched his fists, and tears of unwillingness appeared in his eyes. "Time... I have too little time..."
Both father and son have extraordinary talents, but they were born at the wrong time and eventually became a tragedy.
Deng Ai's generals were also excited. It was both regretful and unwilling.
Seeing that the situation was settled, Yu Yan raised her hand and pulled out the document of King Zhurong.
"General Deng's father and son are of great talent, and Zhurong admires him very much. This time he stepped into Jiangzhou, he only expelled Liu Bei's son and did not intend to offend General Deng. I hope he will be in harmony with General Deng forever in the future and reject Western Shu together."
The Deng family's account was shocked and it was difficult to reflect for a while.
Deng Ai asked in a daze: "King Zhurong... didn't he come to take my Jiangzhou?"
Yu Yan shook her head: "It's the opposite. King Zhurong came to save Jiangzhou."
The generals stood there for a while, and suddenly the shouts of Chetian rang out.
They thought Jiangzhou was dead, and it was only a matter of time before who would win. But at this time, King Zhurong actually offered his military advisor. It was a great news to repay kindness.
Deng Ai and his son also looked at each other, with an indescribable look on their faces.
Deng Ai himself could naturally see the long-term, and was not confused by this sugar-coated shell at this time.
Everyone takes it as their mission to dominate the world, and it is impossible to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds.
King Zhurong's move was nothing more than a bribery of people's hearts. The war between the Southern Barbarians and Liu Bei was inevitable. It was a good thing to win over Jiangzhou before the war.
Looking further, if this wave of Jiangzhou resisted. The Southern Barbarians did not seize Jiangzhou, then...
Jiangzhou became the middle ground between Liu Bei and the Southern Barbarians, and became a barrier between the Southern Barbarians. It would inevitably resist Liu Bei's wave after wave of offensives and no longer have the power to compete for hegemony.
No matter how touching it is, it is just a use.
But Deng Ai didn't know why, but even though he knew he was being used, he felt very comfortable and calm.
Maybe this is the charm, the charm of Hua Junshi.
She carefully pushed away Deng Ai's past and recalled his life. It was like a mother stroking the child's cheek, and then suddenly changed the subject and shouted and encouraged him like a father: "Roar up, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Deng Ai and his son looked at each other, and they were completely disappointed.
Deng Ai stepped forward and bowed calmly: "Deng Ai of Jiangzhou, I am willing to submit to King Zhurong."
There are not many differences among the generals in this move, but just a sentence that goes with the flow, so that everyone can enjoy a better face.
Yu Yan obviously had already expected this. Deng Ai was a smart person and naturally made smart choices.
With a long sleeve, she waved out the second paper of King Zhurong.
"I named Deng Ai the Captain of Zhongyi and General Deng Zhong the Captain of Fenwei. From now on, the cities taken by General Deng will be governed by General Deng, and I will not interfere at all."
The generals were shocked again.
Autonomy is an incredible power, which is equivalent to enfeoffing princes.
Throughout history, the surrendered generals have always been sent to small places. King Zhurong dared to let Deng Ai take over Jiangzhou Autonomousity, and promised that the territory he captured in the future would be under the jurisdiction of Deng Ai.
Such hasty...or trust is rare in ancient and modern times.
After Yu Yan announced the document of King Zhurong, the Deng family's father and son were still shocked and could not recover.
She transformed into a maternal expression and said softly: "General Deng, my lord recognizes your loyalty and righteousness. A loyal and righteous man should have the right to loyalty and righteousness. However, the lord will not have any suspicion about General Deng. Even if General Deng takes Luoyang in the future, the lord will not take back the order. This document has been announced to the world, and all heroes in the world can witness the lord's trust and your loyalty and righteousness with General Deng."
"Deng..." Deng Ai was already grateful and could not express his words, "Deng should guard Jiangzhou to the death. He was only loyal to the Lord Zhurong for his whole life, and devoted himself to his whole life, and only died until his death!"
Loyalty is the ultimate weapon to defeat Deng Ai's psychological defense line.
To fight for dominance in the world, this road is not Deng Ai’s.
This time, he wanted to let the heroes of the world see whether Deng Ai was ambitious or loyal, and to know Cao Wei personally, settle the Sima family, and let them pay for their blood debts.
"Father..." Deng Zhong and Deng Ai hugged each other tightly.
From the state of death to the gate of life, from despair to hope only for a moment.
A moment later, Jiangzhou changed its flag, and a big "Zhu" flag fluttered in the wind.
About half an hour later, Chengdu's power changed quickly, and the flag was replaced by Zhurong's family.
The heroes of the world were amazed by it.
In one hour, I took over the two cities of Western Shu. What kind of troops or strategies can I do?
The only lord of the four cities was born.
In the north of Jiangzhou, the army led by Zhang Fei is slowly retreating.
King Zhurong's jackals, tigers and leopards also happened to break out from the mountain road.
She looked at the big banner with the word "Zhang" and was very dishonest.!~!
