Chapter 86: Prelude to the Northern Expedition (4)

"When you see Your Majesty later, you should ............" Outside the Jianwei Palace, Yin Zhengzheng carefully instructed Deng Ai on the etiquette and precautions of the saint.

After telling Deng Ai everything, Yin Zheng saw that Deng Ai was sweating profusely and was at a loss, so he asked back uneasily: "Do you remember everything?" ”

Deng Ai bowed his head slightly, and thanked him: "Ai...... Aiduke...... Note. ”

At this time, the voice of Chuntuo came from the hall: "Yiyang Deng Ai, front!" ”

As soon as he heard the summons to enter, Deng Ai hurriedly unloaded his sword, took off his shoes, and walked in.

As he walked quickly, he replied in a loud voice: "No! Promise! ”

When I saw a young man with a thin body and a mustache at the corner of his mouth, he shouted a promise and hurried into the temple on the other...... Liu Yong laughed instantly, shouldn't he shout "only"? And, just shouting is enough.

Deng Ai walked into the hall, ran to the front of Danqi and braked sharply, staggered and barely stood still, and then bent down at ninety degrees to bow: "Corporal Yiyang Deng ...... Mugwort...... Ai Ai to see Your Majesty! ”

Looking at Deng Ai, Liu Yong didn't expect that Deng Ai, an outstanding military strategist of the Three Kingdoms and an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, would have such a cute time.

Thinking of this, Liu Yong felt a sense of ridicule in his heart, so he joked: "Jun, is it Deng Ai?" ”

Deng Ai only raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yong, quickly lowered it again, and replied solemnly: "Exactly...... Mugwort...... Mugwort. ”

Liu Yong could see that Deng Ai at this time was young and lowly, and he still had the unique restraint and tension when facing a high-ranking person. has not yet exercised a strong heart that is in a high position in the later life, and is calm and leisurely enough to joke with Sima Zhao.

So, Liu Yong smiled and said: "Qingyun Ai Ai, is it one Ai or two Ai or three Ai?" ”

Deng Ai was stunned for a moment, and glanced up at Liu Yong on the throne, he didn't expect the emperor to joke with him. After being dull for a few seconds, Deng Ai immediately replied: "Feng Xi Feng Xi, so ...... Therefore, it is a phoenix. ”

"Feng Xi Yi Feng, Ai Ai Yi Ai, I understand." Liu Yong stroked his palms and laughed, this son is really extraordinary. So he asked Deng Ai to say, "Please take a seat." ”

After Deng Ai sat down, Liu Yong instructed Chuntuo again: "Take paper, pen and ink, Deng Shizai suffers from stuttering, and I will talk to him with pen and ink." ”

Speaking of paper, Gong Tang does not donate, the efforts of Li Yang and his son are not in vain, although the improved paper still has the shortcomings of rough yellowing, but there is no problem with normal writing, and Liu Yong is also ready to fully implement the use of paper after the Northern Expedition.

After Chuntuo took a pen and paper and threw it in front of Deng Ai, Liu Yongfang restrained his smile and said: "Wei thieves are arrogant, stealing magic, I can't measure myself, I want to calm the chaos and punish the thieves, I don't know if Shizai can teach me?" ”

Hearing Liu Yong's words, Deng Ai immediately wrote: "In the next transit Hanzhong, I found that there were soldiers on the road constantly driving north, and there were cars and horses on both sides of the road, and the ruts fell into the ground an inch underground. I thought that His Majesty had made a decision, so he raised troops, so why did he need to ask the officials in the lower districts. ”

After reading the content written by Deng Ai on the paper, Liu Yong said: "I Chengtian was instructed to revive the Han Dynasty for the purpose. I want to use the power of Bashu to fight against the Central Plains, but the difference in strength between the Han and the thief is still far away, and I am not confident! As he spoke, Liu Yong left the table and bowed to Deng Ai: "I sincerely ask Shi Zai to teach me!" ”

Deng Ai was moved, his face changed, and he hurriedly avoided the table. Then he wrote on the paper: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose the king. ”

Seeing Deng Ai's request, Liu Yong's eyes instantly sank, and he became vigilant. When only he and Deng Ai were left in the Jianwei Palace, the secret conversation was undoubtedly more secure and not leaked, but at the same time, Deng Ai wanted to do something to Liu Yong.

Don't forget Fei Yi's death!

It turned out that in history, at the New Year's banquet on the first day of the first lunar month of spring, everyone raised their glasses and pushed the lamp, a piece of harmony, the general Fei Yi was drunk and drunk, but Cao Wei surrendered Guo Xiu suddenly attacked, took out a sharp blade in his arms, accompanied by the sharp cold light of the tip of the knife flashed, the knife fell, Fei Yi fell in a pool of blood, and was killed with one blow.

However, if you want to gain the allegiance of others, you must show that you are different from others!

No one wants to surrender at the feet of a coward.

Liu Yong waved his sleeves and said in a dignified voice: "Except for Zhang Wei, the rest of the people have all retreated!" ”

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Chuntuo wanted to speak out to dissuade him, Liu Yong immediately shouted: "Go!" ”

When everyone came out and closed the door of the palace, Deng Zhi looked at Zhang Wei who was standing by the sword.

Liu Yong said in a sullen voice: "This is my confidant, and I can conspire with him for great things!" ”

Seeing Liu Yong say this, Deng Ai did not insist, and continued to write: "May I ask Your Majesty, have you decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition?" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Yong replied in a deep voice, his voice like a flood.

"Attacking China in a corner of the country, if there is no perfect strategy, it will be tricky." Deng Ai wrote.

Seeing that Deng Ai was like a god, Liu Yong immediately explained the tactics and discernment of the Han army.

Hearing about Bi Shuhan's Northern Expedition, Deng Ai frowned and pondered for a moment before he put pen to paper again: "Your Majesty's plan is still heavy on Tongguan, and only with Tongguan can you talk about blocking Wuguan and seizing the Pubanjin Ferry." But Your Majesty, do you know how high the wall of Tongguan is? ”

"The wall is three feet three feet high (ten meters)." Liu Yong blurted out that knowing himself and knowing that the other side would not be defeated in a hundred battles, simple intelligence work could still be done.

"Yes, with such a high wall, it may not be easy to take it down? Your Majesty, you sent elite soldiers out of the Meridian Valley, it is impossible to carry siege equipment, and the snatching of Tongguan can only rely on simple ladders and soldiers to sacrifice their lives, this is a life-saving move! ”

"For the sake of today, there is no way to do it."

"Nope! The siege equipment urgently needed by the Han army in Meridian Valley is close at hand, not to mention far away, there are a large number of siege rams, ladders and other equipment in Chang'an City! ”

Shaking his head, Liu Yong retorted: "The city wall of Chang'an is higher than Tongguan, and it is even more impossible for the Han army to take it without siege equipment!" ”

Deng Ai smiled and wrote: "The destiny of heaven is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate!" Everything is possible, and Ai has a way to make it easy for His Majesty to get Chang'an City, and get the mountains of grain, grass and military supplies hoarded inside. ”

"What?" Liu Yong was shocked and changed color.

So in the next quarter of an hour, Deng Ai told Liu Yong about his plan to attack Chang'an by surprise - through the drainage channel of Chang'an's Bamen, he would first ascend to the dead to seize the city gate and let Wei Yan's army enter the city.

Finally, annihilate the Wei army in Chang'an City and occupy Chang'an!

After listening to Deng Ai's strategy, Liu Yong slapped his thigh fiercely, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Zhang Wei, who stood like a bear on the side, also dropped his jaw to the ground, and he had heard of fire attack, ant attachment, tunnels and other siege methods, but he never thought that one day, the mouth of a city's drainage and water supply channel could also become a breakthrough!

Silence, the Jianwei Hall fell into a dead silence for a moment, and only then did Liu Yong's life praise be issued with half a salary: "I have won the Shizai, and I have won 100,000 troops!" ”

Chang'an, the former capital of the Han family, if you can take Chang'an according to Deng Ai's plan, it is not only a great incentive for the soldiers and civilians of the Shu Han monarchs and ministers who are inspired to revive the Han dynasty and return to the former capital, but also enjoy the countless grains, grasses, equipment and materials hoarded in Chang'an City, which will deal a great blow to the Yongliang Wei army!
