After a long discussion, in the end, the major leaders expressed their willingness to lead the people to stay, incorporated into the army, and make meritorious contributions, except for some small bandits and bandits, two or three hundred people could not bear the military discipline in the army, and led the people to leave.

In this regard, the Jingzhou army did not force it, and the two or three hundred people forgave them and could not set off the slightest storm in the rear.

"In this case, you have made a decision, then from now on, I will give an order on behalf of the major general and announce that you and others will be incorporated into the army."

With Deng Ai's approval, the deputy governor faced the crowd and said in a loud voice.

Then, the deputy governor said: "But for the next time, I will continue to grieve you and wait for the clothes on your body." ”

"Only after returning to the army will there be conditions to change into unified armor."

Hearing this, the attached thieves echoed and shouted: "We will swear allegiance to the Han Dynasty, take the lead bravely, and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." ”

After settling the thief army, the Jingzhou soldiers dispersed, and Deng Ai also went to the county government to tell the truth.

County capital.

"Gifted... Tell the less... General, Ai... Living up to the instructions... Successfully reclaimed... The Thieves... Heart. ”

When he first entered the lobby of the mansion, Deng Aichao solemnly bowed his hand, faced Guan Ping, and said.

Hearing this, Guan Ping also showed a hint of joy and praised: "Okay, Shizai is worthy of being a general's talent, and he has made outstanding contributions and great achievements in this battle." ”

"Before the war, you worked out a plan with the general to show the enemy weakness, confuse Cao Jun, and set fire to remind me to go up the mountain to take flammable materials such as fierce fire oil on the mountain where Liu Jia was once located."

"Therefore, I will think about it, I am willing to temporarily act as my father's commander, temporarily seal you as a general, and when this battle is over, I will truthfully report your merits."

"Shizai, I hope you will continue to fight and make meritorious contributions, don't slack off!"

At this moment, Guan Ping had a thick smile on his face, and he was also happy with Deng Ai's performance from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, as Deng Ai gradually made meritorious contributions in the army, his ability became stronger and stronger, Guan Ping was secretly overjoyed: "Haha! ”

"Deng Ai's growth is finally on the right track."

Hearing this, Deng Ai was also overjoyed, and immediately bowed his hands and said, "No, Ai Ai... Certainly... No... Disappoint... Less... Heavy military weapons, will be... To the next level. ”

Now that he heard that he had been awarded the title of general for his merits, he was really ecstatic.

It must be known that although the power of the partial general in the Three Kingdoms era was not too deep, he was not a low-level military position, and he was a miscellaneous general at the top.

Although it is only temporary, Deng Ai is still very satisfied, and there is still joy on his face, after all, he is still young, and he is already a partial general, and in the future, are you afraid that you will not be able to be promoted step by step?

Subsequently, Guan Ping used the merits of the military marquis Zhao Zhong to make him the capital of a thousand people, replacing Deng Ai, and as for the next military positions, they were also distributed according to merit.

After a short moment, all the people in the hall looked high, and they all bowed their hands and said: "The young general is mighty, mighty!" ”

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

At this moment, with Guan Ping's reward for his meritorious deeds, he established his military prestige in the army in a short period of time, so that the generals admired him so much that he threw himself to the ground.

Later, after the matter was dealt with, Guan Ping said again: "Everyone, now that Biyang City has been taken, our army's retreat has been opened, and the troops going north are coming to Xudu, and there will be no worries!" ”

"It's just that Ben Jiang has been worried, Biyang is an important town, and the surrounding garrison Cao Jun will not give up, so he willingly let the city be used as the rear of our army, and attack Xudu with peace of mind."

"In my opinion, after our army goes north, the surrounding Cao army will definitely wait for the opportunity to move, take the opportunity to recapture the city, and cut off the return route of our army."

"Therefore, this general has decided to send a general to defend the city, guard against the surrounding enemies, and protect Biyang."

"I don't know you, who can do it?"

With a few words, Guan Ping slowly explained the importance of Biyang City, and then guided the crowd with words, wanting to make the generals under his command recommend themselves.

The words fell, but the hall fell silent, and no one responded half-loudly.

Although Biyang seized it, everyone felt in their hearts that it would not necessarily be easy to take precautions.

It must be known that Guan Ping led the people north to threaten Xudu, and he must be the main force, and the military strength that can stay will naturally not.

Otherwise, Guan Ping will be in danger!

Therefore, it is precisely because of the total factors that they have not answered, and they are all deeply afraid that due to their own lack of ability, the city will be lost.

After all, the Cao army was not completely wiped out this time, and Chen Qun, who joined the army, fled in advance, so this person is not as stupid as Xiahou Nan.

If he hadn't returned to Xudu and continued to stay in the land south of the country, then Biyang would have a hidden danger.

It is precisely because of this that Guan Ping has always been unaware of the suspense of the left-behind candidates, and has not made up his mind for a long time.

"Alas, there is still a shortage of manpower in the army, otherwise why are you so worried?"

After thinking for a while, Guan Ping sighed and sighed deeply.

Indeed, if the Jingzhou Army now has Cao Jun's gorgeous lineup, Guan Ping will not be entangled in the selection of those who stay behind.

"Major General, General Deng is resourceful and courageous, and he has made great contributions this time."

"The last general thinks that General Deng is quite suitable, and is willing to sincerely nominate him as the commander who remains behind."

After a long time, Zhao Zhong, the newly promoted thousand-person governor, stood up first and said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the military marquis and the generals also shouted and echoed.

"Shizai, since all the generals are now willing to nominate you as the main general left behind, then the generals have decided?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Guan Ping was also happy, knowing that Deng Ai's prestige in the army had gradually improved.

Now he also has a plan, that is, to continue to let Deng Ai serve as the main general left behind, stick to the city, and continue to cultivate.

Hearing this, Deng Ai's face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Both... Be... Less... Checkmate... Ordered, Ai... Surely obey! ”

"It's just... Mugwort... There is a request, and I hope that... Fulfill. ”

"Oh, Shizai, what do you want, just mention it?"

Hearing this, Deng Ai continued: "Shaoshao... General, the Admiral wants to... Liu Jia stayed... Assist me. ”

When the words fell, everyone in the tent didn't know what Deng Ai meant, and they didn't know why he had to make Liu Jia his deputy general.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Pang De is a brave and powerful general, and Deng Ai is not appointed, but he wants to ask for Liu Jia to be called.

At this moment, everyone's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.

Seeing this, Deng Ai observed his words and continued to explain: "Shaoshao... General, Liu Jia... I used to live here for a long time, and I know the local topography and situation very well. ”

"Nowadays... Now that Chen Qun has fled, there is no trace, I don't know if he is still hiding here, if he goes to mobilize the surrounding garrisons, wait for a few... After you led your people north, you suddenly came to attack. ”

"That has the assistance of Liu Jia, who is familiar with the terrain, and that Ai... It's not worth the battle! ”

As Deng Ai explained his words, Guan Ping couldn't help but ponder and thought slowly.

"Okay, Shizai, your request will be agreed, so let Liu Jia stay behind to assist you."

"Not only that, but I also want to tell you the eight characters, as long as you keep it in mind, you will be able to protect the city!"
