In Chengdu City, Deng Ai has been living in Zhuge Liang's mansion since he entered the city.

On that day, when he took Chengdu City, the first place Deng Ai went to was the Wuhou Mansion, and he wanted to see what kind of person Zhuge Liang was who everyone knew about the people of Wei, Shu and Wu.

Seeing that the facilities in the house are very simple, although no one lives here after Zhuge Liang passed away, but it is still kept clean and tidy, Liu Chan will send someone to clean it carefully every seven days, everything maintains the original appearance of the mansion before the death of Wuhou, and it has never been interrupted for 29 years.

Deng Ai simply lived here, settled the soldiers and horses in Chengdu City, and finally could take a rest, but at this time, Deng Ai was really not in the mood to rest, pacing back and forth in the lobby of Wuhou Mansion.

"Sir, I wonder if Zhong'er can kill the Han army and bring reinforcements from the siege?" Deng Ai was full of anxiety, and his worry about his son had gradually made him lose his composure.

Shi Su stood aside, seeing Deng Ai so impatient, he comforted: "General Deng Zhong is brave and invincible, and no one in the Han army can keep him, so the general can rest assured." ”

Hearing Shi Su's comforting words, Deng Ai was a little relieved, and said: "Also, Zhong'er's martial arts and bravery are unparalleled in the world, and there should be no big problem, but I am worried about General Tian Zhang's Jiangyou City, Jiang Wei has both wisdom and bravery, and the army besieging Chengdu will definitely send a partial division to capture Jiangyou, if Jiangyou falls, the road back to Wei is cut off, even if Zhong'er kills it, it will be useless." ”

Shi Su was also very worried about Jiangyou City, but now that the army was trapped in Chengdu, worrying would not help, so he said to Deng Ai:

"General Tian Zhang is cautious with his troops, Jiangyou City is not so easy to be taken by the Han army without major changes, and the siege of Chengdu can be solved in an instant if he can ask Yongliang for reinforcements, but the situation is not optimistic."

Deng Ai heard Shi Su say this, and immediately asked, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Shi Su frowned, and said in a deep voice: "My Great Wei has been preparing for five years to launch this war to destroy the country, Zhong Hui is anxious for quick success and jealousy, if he is not afraid that the general will win the first merit of destroying Shu, this Shu land can be taken long ago, and now Zhong Hui will wipe out the main force of our army in the Sword Pavilion for a while, and our army will not be able to swallow Shu alone." ”

The master explained that it was powerful, and Deng Ai suddenly fell into deep thought, pondered for a while, and asked:

"As soon as the Yongliang reinforcements arrive, our army can hold the Son of Heaven hostage and drag the Han army, and then order someone to report to Sima Gong, so that the Xiangfan garrison will go to Shu to cooperate with the battle to destroy Shu, won't this Shu land still be taken?"

Shi Su shook his head and said again:

"The Yongliang Qiang people have been in turmoil for many years, and a large number of border guards are needed to guard it, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Yang Xin and the Xianbei bald leader Ruo Luo Ba Neng have had many contradictions in recent years, and they have been like fire and water, if the border army enters Shu, if Luo Ba Neng will inevitably lead the Xianbei bald tribe to rebel, it can be seen that the Yongliang reinforcements will not come to help too much."

"There is also the Xiangfan garrison, Xiangyang Fancheng is on the border of the Three Kingdoms, once the garrison is transferred on a large scale, Jiangdong will definitely make a move, Sima Gong will not agree to transfer the Xiangfan garrison, the situation of Shu is difficult to break, the general should have made plans early!"

Shi Su was originally a person under Zhong Hui's account, and he also had the intention of monitoring Deng Ai when he came to Deng Ai's army, but now that he heard that Zhong Hui was defeated and committed suicide, he simply assisted Deng Ai wholeheartedly, Deng Ai also respected him, and he was better to get along with than Zhong Hui.

After hearing that Shi Su had analyzed himself, Deng Ai nodded and said:

"It's better to rely on others than on yourself, you can't wait for reinforcements, our army also has to find a way to save itself, but after this battle, there are only 15,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how can we save ourselves?"

"The general should continue to stick to the changes and watch the changes, if there are Yongliang reinforcements to rescue, kill Liu Chan and the clan, and return to Shu Baiguan. If there is no reinforcement to rescue, you can't sit still, when negotiating with the Han army, our army will release Liu Chan and Baiguan, and the Han army will let us go back to Wei. Shi Su replied.

"No, I finally caught Liu Chan, and I definitely can't put it back easily." Deng Ai immediately refused, if Liu Chan was put back, he would have no credit for entering Shu this time.

Shi Su is just making suggestions, and whether to implement it depends on Deng Ai's decision, and Deng Ai refused, so he immediately gave up his hand and said: "The plan has been made, and it is up to the general to decide." ”

Outside the Han military camp at the west gate of Chengdu City.

Liu Yao and Guan Xiu rode side by side, and the guards tied Deng Zhong tightly on horseback and followed closely behind.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the Han army camp, he saw Jiang Wei and Luo Zheng Zhang Zunyueying who were about to leave the camp and return to their respective camps, and Zhang Yi hugged Jiang Wei to see them off.

"General! Are you okay? Seeing Jiang Wei covered in blood, Liu Yao immediately leaned in front of him and asked with concern.

Jiang Wei was about to return to the East Gate camp, when he heard someone shouting to him, turned around to look, it turned out to be Liu Yao coming, and when he heard Liu Yao ask if he was okay, Jiang Wei reacted, he had just come out of the battlefield, and his armor was full of blood and had not yet been cleaned, but he was still quite moved, and replied:

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness, has Jiangyou City been captured?"

Jiang Wei is more concerned about the battle situation in Jiangyou City at the moment, although the soldiers and horses given to Liu Yao are twice as many as the defenders of Jiangyou City, but he has never seen the military ability of this highness, and the Wei general who guards the important city of Jiangyou City will definitely not be a straw bag, Jiang Wei is still a little worried.

Liu Yao smiled slightly, bowed to Jiang Wei and said: "General, this king has fulfilled his mission, he has taken Jiangyou City, captured the Wei general Tian Zhang, and Ma Miao, the guard of the Han army who surrendered to the Wei army, was also cut down by me. ”

This victory was nakedly displayed in front of Jiang Wei, and it could reverse Jiang Wei's attitude towards himself in one fell swoop, he had just arrived in Jiang Wei's army, and in Jiang Wei's eyes, he was a burden that was useless except for the status of a prince.

Sure enough, Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said with relief: "Your Highness is really extraordinary, in this way, after Jiangyou City is taken, this Deng Ai will be a trapped beast in a cage!" ”

Being able to get Jiang Wei's approval, Liu Yao was also quite proud, and immediately said:

"General, I'll give you another big gift!"

Then, Liu Yao instructed the guards behind: "Take Deng Zhong!" ”

When the guards of the Han army heard Liu Yao's order, they rode over slowly, and in front of the horse a bundle of Wei generals like zongzi, the two guards turned over and dismounted, dragged Wei generals down, and threw them on the ground.

Receiving such humiliation, Na Wei Jiang's eyes widened angrily, and he twisted his body and struggled continuously.

Everyone recognized it, and it turned out to be Wei General Deng Zhong.

Jiang Wei looked at Deng Zhong who was struggling on the ground, stroked his beard and laughed loudly, and said: "Your Highness is really a charcoal in the snow this time, come to my Dongying today to rest for one night, and go to the city gate tomorrow to call for battle, I see what else Deng Ai can do to fight with me!" ”
