"Since I am already determined in my heart that Zhong Da will be the commander of this expedition, this kind of matter can naturally be decided by Zhong Da, but no matter what, the army will be sent within half a month, and this matter cannot be delayed, tomorrow I will announce this matter in front of the hundred officials in the court, and then Zhong Da should be a good preparation, don't let down the expectations of the hundred officials and the people of my Wei State!"

Cao Zhi saw that the matter had been basically settled, and he didn't want to talk to Sima Yi here again, for fear that Sima Yi would put forward any more conditions that he was unwilling to accept.

To Cao Zhi's surprise, Sima Yi did not put forward any other conditions except for showing him that he would definitely bow to the battlefield and die to the end, and in the end, Cao Zhi walked leisurely to his mansion under Sima Yi's kneeling.

On the way home, Cao Zhi carefully recalled every word Sima Yi and himself said, but finally found that except for his desperate desire to exclude Yang Xiu from the army led by him, there was no demand to blackmail him.

If it were replaced by someone else, Cao Zhi's temperament would probably not be so suspicious, but Sima Yi was Cao Cao's deathbed and asked him to pay special attention, Cao Cao looked at people, and he has always been very accurate, so Cao Zhi had to care about Sima Yi very much, if he really couldn't find a person who could take charge of Liu Feng alone, he really didn't want to give Sima Yi, who was originally demoted to the family, so much power.

In addition, thinking that he had promised Sima Yi that he would not let Yang Xiu follow him to attack Jingzhou, the personnel of the prison army also made Cao Zhi difficult for a while.

At this time, the generals of the Wei Dynasty were still mainly the old people who followed Cao Cao's campaign, although Cao Zhi also promoted many people who were not Cao clansmen to hold important official positions in the court, but in the past few years, Cao Zhi has gradually found that these people are a little older.

This year, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and other military generals who are very important to Cao Zhi are almost all over fifty years old, and even Yang Xiu, who has been accompanying him, is already forty and five, although he and the forty-one-year-old Sima Yi can be regarded as in their prime, but there are too few courtiers who are the same age as the twenty-eight-year-old themselves.

It can be said that the court of Wei has begun to show some signs of insecurity, and many of the Cao clansmen who were dismissed because of Cao Pi before, their descendants have not been well trained in the court since they were young because of themselves, and it is already very difficult to find someone who can take on a big responsibility.

But after thinking about it, Liu Feng's command is just some military generals who are over forty years old, Cao Zhi's heart is a little better, these years of war, the opportunity to give young people peace of mind to study is too rare, so the talent is much less than when there was no large-scale war in the late Han Dynasty, naturally it is understandable, Cao Zhi secretly remembered this matter in his heart, and then began to look for candidates for the supervisor in Sima Yi's army this time.

But Liu Feng's command was not what Cao Zhi thought in his heart, and he was as green as his Wei State.

As early as Liu Feng gained a firm foothold in Yizhou at the same time, he ordered Xu Shu to extensively recruit those teenagers who had avoided disasters here due to the war and had little to rely on in Yizhou and Jingzhou, and trained them by special personnel, and assigned people who showed various abilities to exercise in all directions. In order to have better development in the future.

What surprised Liu Feng even more was that in the previous operation on Yingchuan, a pair of mother and son brought back by Li Chuang and Yingwei attracted Liu Feng's attention, at that time the young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was extremely filial, and what was even more rare was that Yingchuan went to Chengdu for such a long journey, and the young man couldn't let go of it in addition to his mother, there was actually a large bag of bamboo slips, which he carried on his back every day, lest the words in it be eroded by wind, sand or rain.

The young man's actions surprised Liu Feng who saw him by chance, and when he stepped forward to ask the young man's name, the result he got made Liu Feng extremely happy.

When the young man had not yet said his name, Liu Feng had already noticed it in his heart, because the young man had a very obvious problem, that is, serious stuttering, in this era, stuttering is not very common, and the person who stutters and cherishes his own collection of books is seventeen or eighteen years old, so his name is about to come out.

Sure enough, what made Liu Feng not disappointed was that the young man called himself Deng Ai, the word Shizai, originally a person from Jingzhou, and his mother were recruited to Yingchuan to carry out the Tuntian business at the age of twelve, but although Deng Ai was not from a high background and had stuttering, it did not hinder his hobby of reading, plus he loved the sergeant, collected a lot of military books and strategies, and every time he passed through a mountain and river, he had to personally explore the terrain and outline the place of the camp.

Although Deng Ai and his mother were born in poverty, because of their lack of talent, they were recruited as a official by the local Wang clan in Yingchuan, and it was precisely because of this that they were rescued by Li Chuang together with some people when the Wang clan was slaughtered by Yang Xiu's army.

Deng Ai's name, how could Liu Feng, who loved history in his previous life, not know that if he hadn't been a human being in two lives, it would have been Deng Ai who single-handedly destroyed the Shu Kingdom ruled by Liu Chan more than 40 years later. But obviously, Deng Ai will never have such an opportunity again, but under Liu Feng, what awaits him will be another good opportunity.

Although he was very happy in his heart, Liu did not show it on the cover, but temporarily placed Deng Ai and his mother in Chengdu, and suggested that he study in the lecture place he had set up.

But after a short time, Deng Ai's talent has been undoubtedly revealed, and every time he can say something in front of Xu Shu, Xu Shu is also very surprised, Xu Shu has mentioned Deng Ai's name in front of Liu Feng no less than three times in the past few years.

By the time Liu Feng moved his capital to Luoyang and was ready to deal with Yang Xiu's attack, Deng Ai was already twenty-one years old. At this time, he had already taken on a lot of responsibilities to manage the craftsman camp under Xu Shu. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
