In Cai Mao's opinion, although his brother Cai He is not a waste, he is not much better than a waste. Therefore, to defend the Imperial Spring Mausoleum City, you have to rely on Liu Ba and Deng Yi, who are good at this article and martial arts. As for his own brother, he is also a person in charge of monitoring, and he has no problem, but the rest, it's really not good.

It's not that Cai Mao looks down on his brother Cai He, but he really knows how many catties and taels his brother has, so "people are expensive and self-aware", and they can eat as much as they have as much stomach as they want, right, or they should die of it.

Cai Mao pinned his hopes for defending the city on Liu Ba and Deng Yi, so he didn't dare to offend the two of them, and then said a lot of good things, Liu Ba and Deng Yi both understood in their hearts, and they didn't say much, anyway, what Cai Mao said, both of them listened, and then said two words modestly, that's it-

After arriving at the end, Cai Mao finally finished talking to a few people, so he gave Liu Cong a look, and Liu Cong understood, "In this way, everyone can rest and go!" ”

"No! The lord also rests early! ”

After speaking, everyone said goodbye one after another.

In the dead of night, it was already late at this time, and Deng Yi secretly came out of the mansion and ran to Liu Ba's mansion. Because he knew that this Mr. Zichu seemed to have something to say to himself, but when he was in Taishou Mansion before, because there were other people. So it's hard to say, so I secretly gave myself a look and asked myself to go to him later. So based on past experience. At this hour, as soon as the hour is over, it is late at night, and it is also very late, so there should be no problem.

To tell the truth, Deng Yi is such a person who follows Liu Ba, and he is the only one who looks forward. So he is definitely Liu Ba's confidant. So if Liu Ba had anything to do, in Quanling City, the first thing that would definitely come to mind was Deng Yi. And he understands it too. Deng Yiqi doesn't look at the limited ability, but to be honest, he is definitely a smart person, so he has something to discuss with him. Basically, there is absolutely no problem -

Deng Yi quietly came to Liu Ba's mansion. To say that the place where he lives is not too far from Liu Ba's mansion, so plus he sneaked nearby, no one found him such a suspicious person.

In Deng Yi's experience, he naturally couldn't go through the main entrance of Liu Bei's mansion, so he came to the back door of Liu Ba's mansion, and then knocked lightly a few times, if you listen carefully. It is not difficult to find that Deng Yi's knocks on the door are regular. Two long and one short, that's such a rule, and it can be regarded as a code for him and Liu Ba.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished knocking, the door was opened to allow a person to pass through, and someone whispered, "The general is here, and the gentleman is waiting in the living room!" ”

Deng Yi nodded hurriedly, and then quickly stepped into the mansion, and bowed his hand to this person, "Thank you!" ”

Then he walked directly to the living room in Liu Ba's mansion, as for the person who opened the door, it was definitely Liu Ba's henchman, Deng Yi saw him not once or twice, he was absolutely reliable, and there was nothing to say.

And seeing Deng Yi leaving, the subordinates also deliberately looked at both sides at the door, if there was anything abnormal, it can be seen that his experience is definitely relatively rich, and it is definitely not the first time to do this-

Deng Yi came to the living room in Liu Ba's mansion, and when he arrived in the living room, he saw Liu Ba sitting there, I didn't know what to think, when he saw Deng Yi, he hurriedly said, "General Deng is here, sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zichu!"

Deng Yi was not too polite, and sat down directly as he spoke. To say that in terms of the relationship between the two, they are indeed relatively familiar, so there is no need to be so polite.

After Deng Yi sat down, Liu Ba smiled, "Is General Deng curious, what is the matter with summoning the general this night?" ”

Deng Yi also smiled when he heard this, "Since it is called by Mr., then there must be something important, and he can afford to be below, so it is incumbent on him to be below!" ”

After listening to Deng Yi's words, Liu Ba still had a smile on his face, "It's rare for General Deng to think like this, it really makes me feel very relieved!" ”

For Liu Ba, no matter what, Deng Yi is his confidant, so if there is anything, it is naturally better to find him. And I can rest assured, and I know him well, basically what I say, what he asks him to do, there is no problem-

Deng Yi was not stupid, so he hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to hurriedly say, "I don't know what Mr. needs to do in the future, please Mr. Speak clearly!" ”

Liu Ba nodded, "Don't hide it from the general, there is indeed something that needs the general's help, but before talking about this, you have to ask the general first." ”

Deng Yi arched his hand and said to Liu Ba, "Sir, please speak!" ”

Liu Ba nodded, "Dare to ask, what does General Deng think, how is the battle in Quanling now?" ”

When Deng Yi heard this, Mr. Zichu asked himself such a sentence, but if this was asked by Cai Mao, then he would definitely not be able to tell the truth, and could only prevaricate him with lies and lies. But now that Mr. asked, then naturally he can't tell lies, so ......

I heard Deng Yi sigh, "Mr. Don't hide it, it's only one day for Liu Bei's army to attack, but maybe our army can hold it for a while, but the city will inevitably be lost after a long attack, even if there is a gentleman, I'm afraid it will not be able to return to the sky!" ”

At the risk of offending Liu Ba, Deng Yi still told everything he thought. Originally, even if there was Liu Ba in Quanling. But how many days can the city be held, is it three, five, ten? It's not that Deng Yi doesn't have confidence, to be honest. If you can really hold it for five days, then you can count it as your own power-

However, after Liu Ba listened to Deng Yi's words, he was really not angry, because he also knew that Deng Yi had concerns, but he still told the truth, which was better than anything. And I'm not such a stingy person. As a Jingxiang celebrity, if you don't even have this little belly, wouldn't it make the world laugh at it.

looked at Liu Ba's lifeless expression. Deng Yi's heart can be regarded as relieved, although he doesn't think that he, Mr. Zichu, can do anything. But if you really offend this gentleman, it will certainly not do you any good. At least the temperament of the person, in the final analysis. They were all scribes. And what kind of character the scribe is, basically he has a common temperament.

At this time, I heard Liu Ba say, "Yes, what General Deng said is very true, and I agree with it!" But I don't know if General Deng has thought about it, who Cai Mao is, and he asked his brother Cai He to be at the head of the city, called to contribute to the defense of the city. In fact, it's surveillance.,I want to come here.。 General Deng knows it all! ”

After listening to Liu Ba's words, Deng Yi smiled bitterly, isn't it, what kind of person is Cai Mao, at that time, he treated the new lord of Jingzhou as a puppet and played with applause. He Cai Mao did have some power before, but now, it has weakened a lot, after all, Jingzhou is in chaos now, so ......-

After thinking of this, Deng Yishi hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Mr. means, please ask Mr. to give advice and give guidance in the next two!" ”

"Okay, there is something to do today, I want to work with General Deng, I don't know what General Deng thinks?"

Deng Yi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, the most critical time has come, see what it is, and estimate that this opportunity has come.

"Sir, please speak in person, listen to me!"

Liu Ba nodded, and then said slowly, "General Deng also knows that now that Liu Xuande is powerful, and Cai Mao is declining, even if he can defend Quanling, how much time can he have?" So for the sake of future planning, the Jingzhou Army is not a place for the general to stay for a long time! ”

Deng Yi listened, "Listen to what Mr. means, don't you want to ......"

"I mean to defect to Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, thinking that Liu Xuande is also a relative of the Han family, and now he is still at the bottom of the list among the princes in the world. And we are waiting to take refuge in him, as the so-called 'icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow', so why worry about not being able to make contributions under his account? ”

To be honest, Liu Ba has long had this intention. Since Cai Mao came to Lingling Spring Mausoleum City, he has been thinking about it. And after Liu Bei's army arrived at Quanling, he thought about these things every day. It's just that he has always suffered from no chance, and Liu Baqi is a literati, so he thinks highly of himself, if he joins Liu Bei's account, but he doesn't make any contributions, he will feel embarrassed to be a famous man in Jingxiang, so he came up with an idea, can join Liu Beijun, and can also make meritorious contributions-

When Deng Yi heard it at this time, he patted the table lightly, "Okay, what Mr. said is very true, according to the next view, just do it!" I don't know what Mr. thinks, what should I do next? ”

Deng Yi's meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, I will do what you ask me to do.

Obviously, Liu Ba's attitude towards Deng Yi seemed very satisfied. After all, as his confidant, Liu Ba really can't find anyone else, and after so many years, Liu Ba certainly knows in his heart that Deng Yi is a human being, so he knows that as long as he says it, there is basically no problem, and the result is true.

So he said, "Now...... Just ......"

Liu Ba is was talking, Deng Yi was nodding his head, and said in his heart, sure enough, it has to be Mr. Zichu, this is much more powerful than himself. It's not that he can't calculate people, but if you want to pay attention to the ability to calculate people, if you give people a plan, then it has to be Mr. Zichu, and he is not a child at all.

"I wonder if General Deng understands what I said before?"

"No! What Mr. said, I understand it below, and I will see it tomorrow! ”

Seeing that Deng Yi slapped his chest openly, Liu Ba was also very confident in this, but then he still told Deng Yi a lot of things that needed attention, and then asked Deng Yi to repeat it a few times, so he could be regarded as a little relieved. After all, the so-called "be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years", not to mention that it is still an extraordinary period, and the two of them discuss such a big matter, if you are not careful, it will definitely not work-

After Liu Ba instructed Deng Yi a few words, Deng Yi said goodbye and left. When you come, you come quietly, and when you go, you have to leave secretly, after all, if this matter is really discovered by someone with a heart, then he and Liu Ba will have to "can't eat and walk around", how to say that Cai Mao is not a good stubble, so can you do it if you don't pay attention.

Still sneaked out of the back door, Deng Yi is already familiar with the road, although it is not enough for him to say that Liu Ba is like his own home, but it is really about the same.

When he returned to his house, Deng Yi thought carefully about the conversation with his Mr. Zichu tonight, how Mr. Zichu let him do it, and what things he needed to pay attention to, he thought about it several times. After all, you can't be negligent in this matter, or it is very likely that you and Mr. Zichu will fall into a situation from which you will never recover. No matter how you say that you want to do something, it's not a good thing, if you want to be detected, you will be beheaded ten times, then it is possible.

To be honest, Deng Yi was still a little scared at this time, in Liu Ba's place, he didn't show anything, but after returning to his home, thinking about it carefully, he had to be a little afraid. After all, if this thing is really not good, and there is a mistake somewhere, then he and Mr. Zichu will both have to fall to the ground. Therefore, Deng Yi feels that he has a lot of things on his shoulders, a lot of pressure, and a great mission.

Success or failure depends on oneself, of course, I still have some confidence, after all, Cai Mao and they will not have any precautions against this, so the chance of success will naturally increase a lot. What's more, with Mr. Zichu here, there should be no problem. (To be continued......)
