Shiren's indomitable attitude made Huo Yi a little unhappy, but Huo Yi was not in a hurry to turn his face with him, and said slowly: "Shizai doesn't need to pay attention to the remarks of others, it seems that this strategy is indeed feasible." Tell me more! ”

Deng Ai hugged his fists and promised, and said slowly: "At this moment, it is early summer, and the area around Xiangfan is already rainy, and the waterways are crossed, if the enemy and our armies want to hold the initiative in their hands, they must fight on the water, and those who take the initiative in the naval army can grasp the initiative in the offensive and defensive battles of Xiangfan!" ”

Guan Yu was completely persuaded by this young general who looked about the same age as Huo Yi at this moment, but asked, "So, how to break through Wenpin?" ”

Yes, this is an extremely important issue, Wen Ping is a famous general in the world, and he is also a rare general who is good at water warfare among the famous generals, and it is also rare among the generals in Jiangdong who can match it. How could it be so simple to defeat the sailors under his command?

Deng Ailang said: "This mountain capital city is still in Xiangyang, and there is Deng County in the middle, and Jing Mountain is blocking it on the near side. ”

All the generals nodded, and Shiren simply said aloud: "What General Deng said is all on the surface, Zhang He and Li Dian's 50,000 military horses that can break through Atou Mountain, and also break through the Xiahoudun Department in Deng County, so our army has already been able to win this battle, so why bother to fight the civil appointment of Shandu in one fell swoop?" ”

Deng Ai smiled secretly: "The general thinks, is it impossible?" ”

Shiren scoffed: "Of course it can't be! ”

Deng Ai said with a smile: "General, even we think that if we want to reach Shandu City, we must pass these two levels, so what will the generals of the Cao Army think?" ”

Shiren also smiled and said, "Most of them think you're going to Shandu. Probably not a pipe dream? ”

The generals in the tent were amused by Shiren's words, and they couldn't help laughing.

Deng Ai bowed his head to Huo Yi and Guan Yu. Lang Sheng said: "In this way, Wen Ping will also think so, so will Wen Ping's military horses still be on guard?" ”

Guan Yu said: "I don't know about Wen Ping, but I must not be too nervous." ”

Deng Ai said: "Then this matter is mostly done!" ”

Huo Yi got up slowly. He had already guessed how Deng Ai was going to go to Shandu City, but he said slowly: "Are you going to cross Jingshan, go to Shandu City, and attack the sailors hired by Wen?" He suddenly thought of how Deng Ai arrived at Jiangyou Pass like a god soldier in history, and was so frightened that the generals guarding the pass surrendered to him.

He led countless Cao soldiers from the cliff to break through the Jiangyou Pass, which also led to the surrender of the later master.

Huo Yi looked at Deng Ai, he didn't want to lose such a talented young commander. He said slowly: "Do you know the landform of Jingshan?" ”

Deng Ai nodded, resolute and resolute: "I know!" The mountains in the northwest of Jingshan are high and the valleys are deep, towering and steep, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal; The southeast mountain valley is shallow, the slope is slightly gentle, and it is slightly open, but it is all medium and low mountain. It was because our army had just entered Jingshan, and the road was very easy. But it is extremely difficult to cross the northwest of Jingshan and reach the mountain capital! ”

Huo Yi looked at Deng Ai. He was already sure that this young man was bound to take a dangerous blow, and if he succeeded, he could appear behind Cao Jun's flank like a divine soldier, and even attack Wen Ping's sailor, and it was just as he said. In the rainy summer season, and in Xiangfan, where the waterways are developed, the naval army must be very strong, and if you take advantage of the strength of the naval army, you will be able to hold the initiative in the war.

But once he failed, Deng Ai would inevitably die, and he would have to catch a large number of military horses. Huo Yi thought, is this really worth it?

Huo Yi still asked: "Since it is extremely difficult, and it can even be said that it is impossible at all, how can you live?" ”

Deng Ai frowned, for a long time, and said slowly: "There is no road in the world that cannot be taken, and there is no mountain that cannot be climbed, I believe that this road must be the road to victory for our army!" ”

Guan Yu didn't know Deng Ai's previous life, but when he heard this, he also felt that it was feasible, so he said, "How many people do you want?" ”

Deng Ai said slowly: "Eight thousand military horses who are very familiar with the mountains can give it a try!" ”

Huo Yi looked at Deng Ai, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, but Deng Ai was very frank and had no different colors.

Huo Yi knew that once this road was successful, it would greatly change the current situation in the Xiangfan area, you must know that the Jingzhou army at this moment could only shrink in the Xiangyang area, let alone dare to make a slight attack in the north, it is really easier to expand the military horse pattern in the north, and Xiangyang is in a dangerous place, and there are not many places for military horses to be stationed.

It was hastily stationed on the left side of Xiangyang City by various units of the Jingzhou Army, which was extremely passive.

Huo Yi said slowly: "The men and horses can be selected from my army, and the first battalion of Dire, plus the selection of each battalion, can gather enough 8,000 people for you, and Han Ping is also at your disposal." But there is one thing, don't take risks by force, if you can't do it, you can't force it, I just need you all to be safe! ”

Guan Yu took the throne rarely, walked in front of Deng Ai, patted Deng Ai's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Shao Xian's subordinates have a lot of talents, I never thought that this general who is not much different from you in age also has such knowledge, it's not simple!" ”

Huo Yi smiled helplessly, he also accepted this appointment, and immediately ordered Han Ping's Dire to be under the command of Deng Ai, and the more than 5,000 people in the first battalion of this Dire were all men and horses who followed Huo Yi to attack Nanzheng from the ditch to the north in the past, and the mountain combat was extremely sharp. Moreover, the first battalion of Dire is equipped with a lot of crossbow machines and arrows, and once it crosses Jingshan Mountain and reaches the mountain capital, it will definitely be able to cause great damage to the sailors hired by Wenpin.

Huo Yi believes in Deng Ai's ability very much, the only thing he is worried about is that Deng Ai is an extremely strict and risk-taking person, once he encounters an accident in Jingshan, Huo Yi is too late to regret it.

But the reason why Huo Yi agreed to Deng Ai's expedition was to save a heart to experience this young general who was regarded as his left and right arm, and perhaps he would be bound to his side all the time, which would inevitably make him miss countless opportunities for growth.

And this time, it is undoubtedly an extremely rare opportunity for Deng Ai to practice.

At this moment, even Shiren was speechless, such a risky approach is indeed not something that ordinary people can draw, all the Jingzhou generals in the hall have once again assessed the combat effectiveness of Huo Yiji's generals, and Deng Ai, who seems to be so unsurprising, has such ability.

What about the others on Huo Yi's side? That rumor is it Wang Ping, the captain of Cao's military academy who Huo Yi captured in the Battle of Hanzhong? That Wang Chong, who has been following Huo Yi since he came out of Shu? And the four young generals who suddenly became famous and led the four battalions of men and horses under Huo Yi? Also about the general's second son Guan Xing, and General Zilong's eldest son Zhao Tong?

What are these characters' abilities?

It is strange that Huo Yi was able to defeat a number of famous generals of the Jiangdong Army in Jingnan, and even most of the tens of thousands of military horses in Jingzhou were defeated in the battle of Xiangnan. Maybe this is not because of Huo Yi's personal courage and wisdom, and it is also inseparable from these characters on Huo Yi's side, right?

Three days later, Deng Ai selected 3,000 soldiers from each battalion, all of whom were good at climbing mountains and mountains, including the 5,000 Dires who had already been assembled. Deng Ai led 8,000 men and horses, without looking back, out of the west gate of Xiangyang, and rushed into Jingshan.

Jingshan covers a huge area, spanning states and counties, and Cao Ren's men and horses were also running in the dense forests of Jingshan before, only to avoid the pursuit of Deng Ai's men and horses several times.

And Deng Ai re-entered Jingshan, and his mood was already very different.

The mountains in the southeast and southeast of Jingshan are extremely gentle, and there are even many river valleys, and countless rivers are interspersed among them, and Zhangshui and Yishui all flow in them. It was easy to walk in the first half of the 8,000 men, and the sergeants could occasionally take a break to hunt game from the mountains and improve their food.

The road in the mountains is rugged, since it is faster than the official road on the flat land, the official road from Xiangyang to Shandu only needs to walk for two or three days, but this mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, it took more than ten days, Deng Ai and others, according to the guidance of the star map, coupled with the assistance of the terrain map, finally came to the northwest of Jingshan, close to the place of Shandu.

At this moment, the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, and some places can only be crossed by one person, which increases the difficulty of the march.

Deng Ai led the men and horses to the edge of Jing Mountain, but he was shocked to find that there were cliffs and cliffs here, and there was no way forward, but Deng Ai, who was familiar with geography, knew that there was a mountain capital not far ahead.
