Chapter Ninety-Seven: Your Majesty, the Minister Recommends Deng Ai

Longxi was lost, Chen Tai was captured, Guo Huai's main force was lost, and Jiang Wei of Shu Han had collected all the Qiang tribes.

The news of Cao Wei's fiasco in Yongzhou soon spread back to Luoyang.

In the Luoyang court, Cao Rong was furious.

"This damn Guo Huai has lost his teacher and lost his land, and he has lost the face of my Great Wei, which is really useless! Lone will punish him for his sins! ”

Above the court, everyone was silent, and all the courtiers did not dare to come out.

Cao Rong saw that all the courtiers were silent, and he was even more angry.

"You talk about it one by one, but now that Yongzhou is defeated, why don't you speak? All dumb? ”

Cao Rong angrily swept over the courtiers, and finally fell on Sima Yi, who bowed his head and was silent.

Sima Yi raised his head slightly, and saw that the Great Wei Tianzi was looking at him, so he quickly raised his head and said:

"Your Majesty is angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this Jiang Wei is Zhuge Liang's descendant disciple, not to be underestimated, Guo Huai's defeat is defeated by the enemy!"

Cao Rong was still angry, and said to Sima Yi:

"Taiwei, now that the battle situation in Yongzhou has been eroded, Guo Huai is not worthy of the big responsibility, what good strategy can Taiwei have to break the enemy?"

Sima Yi showed a trembling look, he knew that Cao Ei would never send him to Yongzhou, Cao Ei was very jealous of him, although he relied on himself, he easily did not dare to give himself military power.

It must have been engraved in the bone marrow of Cao Cao's evaluation of his eagle and wolf Gu.

Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Liang died, Cao Rong quickly deprived Sima Yi of his military power, handed over the military power of the Yongzhou army to Guo Huai, summoned Sima Yi back to Beijing, promoted him to the rank of lieutenant, and raised him in Luoyang.

So Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wei is cunning and scheming, the defeat of Yongzhou is not Guo Huai's responsibility, at this moment Yongzhou is inseparable from Guo Tingshi, but it is necessary to send a wise general to Yongzhou to assist Guo Huai!" ”

Cao Rong guessed that Sima Yi wanted to send his two sons to Yongzhou to make contributions, so he asked:

"Who does the captain recommend to Yongzhou first?"

Sima Yi bowed his head and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Deng Ai!"

"Deng Ai?" Cao Rong looked dazed.

"Who is Deng Ai?"

Sima Yi replied:

"Your Majesty, Deng Ainai is a genius discovered by the minister in Yangzhou!"

"Oh? It's rare to get such an evaluation from the Captain! What is so good about this Deng Ai, Taiwei quickly tell Gu Ting. Cao Rong also became interested.

Sima Yi then spoke eloquently.

This Deng Ai, the character Shizai, was born in a poor family, when Cao Cao, the Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty, broke Jingzhou, he was relocated to Runan as a refugee to raise calves for farmers.

Deng Ai, who was originally born in a cow herder, was sensitive and studious, unwilling to be ordinary since he was a child, studied seriously, although he had not followed any famous teachers, but he was self-taught, and he was outstanding among his group of immigrants at that time.

Because of his growing reputation among immigrants, he was recommended as a bachelor of Diannong Duwei to assist Diannong Duwei to manage this group of immigrants in Tuntian, but Deng Ai stuttered, and generally everyone would naturally associate stuttering with stupidity, so the local officials also treated him as a fool and bullied him in various ways.

But Deng Ai didn't care, he read the art of war every day, practiced martial arts diligently, and every time he saw the mountains and Daze, he had to survey the terrain there and mark the barracks.

Once Sima Yi went out to patrol the southeast, he happened to meet Deng Ai to report on the work of Tuntian, and found that Deng Ai had a lot of experience in Tuntian.

Deng Ai saw that Sima Yi was interested in his own tuntian strategy, so he took the opportunity to put forward a proposal to Sima Yi to improve the reclamation in the Shouchun area, and also wrote a book "On the Jihe River", putting forward his own method of reclamation.

Deng Ai advocated that improving water conservancy according to his own reclamation method would enable the upper reaches of the Huai River to accumulate 30 million grains. This is enough food for 100,000 soldiers and civilians for five years. With these savings, attacking Soochow is invincible.

Sima Yi was extremely shocked by this suggestion, but he didn't expect Deng Ai to be born as a cattle herding baby, and he had such foresight, so he adopted Deng Ai's suggestion to open up rivers in Huainan and Huaibei and expand the fields.

A few years later, from Kyoto to Shouchun, the soldiers looked at each other along the way, and the sound of chickens and dogs was heard, and a scene of prosperity and prosperity appeared.

Since then, the construction of water conservancy and military tun in the Huaishui Valley has developed rapidly, and the defense force of Wei in the southeast has also been greatly strengthened. Whenever there is a war in the southeast, the army can go down by boat and go straight to Jianghuai. There are reserves of military resources and grain, and there is no water damage.

All this is the credit of Deng Ai.

After listening to Sima Yi's story, Cao Rong suddenly understood Sima Yi's good intentions, so he said:

"Taiwei recommended Deng Ai to go to Yongzhou, presumably because he valued Deng Ai's talent for reclamation, Yongzhou was originally a rich land, but Shu repeatedly invaded the north, causing Yongzhou to be tired, Taiwei sent Deng Ai to Yongzhou, presumably hoping that Deng Ai would develop Yongzhou well!"

Sima Yi nodded and said: "The root of the war has always been the national strength, and the foundation of the national strength lies in the abundance of soldiers and food. The loss of Longxi is just the loss of a county, but Yongzhou is not big, and it still needs to be held to consume Shu. ”

"Stick to the Shu Kingdom!" Cao Rong nodded when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the more Jiang Wei tosses in Yongzhou, the more harm he does to Shu, as long as I hold Yongzhou steadily, then Shu will be defeated sooner or later, and the minister recommended Deng Ai to go to Yongzhou, just to make Yongzhou as stable as Mount Tai."

Cao Rong asked again: "This Deng Ai has the ability to reclaim, does he have the ability to lead troops?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head: "Whether Deng Ai has the ability to lead troops, the minister has not yet known, but Deng Ai is familiar with the art of war, and has always acted steadily, even if he leads troops, he will never take risks, so it is absolutely okay to defend Yongzhou!" ”

"Deng Ai definitely won't take any chances? How can this person be so steady? ”

Cao Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, but in fact, he also felt that why should he go to war with Shu? As long as you keep consuming with Shu, it is enough to consume Shu, and choose a stable Deng Ai to go to Yongzhou to assist Guo Huai, or you can make up for Guo Huai's lack of stability.

So Cao Rong Chrysostom opened.

"Okay, then Gu will make Deng Ai the Taishou of Nan'an in Yongzhou, participate in the Western Military, go to Yongzhou, and assist Guo Huai."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers shouted together.

Cao Rong said again: "I think that I can't be in a hurry to deal with Shu, and I can't be slow to deal with Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong is getting more and more domineering!" The envoy sent by Gu to preach comfort was humiliated by Gongsun Yuan for no reason, it was really audacious! ”

At this time, Biqiu Jian, who had not spoken, walked out of the end of the team and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Yuan is a shameless villain, first voted for Wu, and then Wu sent 10,000 soldiers and horses into Liaodong, and was beheaded by Gongsun Yuan, detained the army, and embezzled Wu capital; Then he returned to the Great Wei, but he was not restrained and insulted the envoys, this person will sooner or later have the heart of disobedience, and the ministers ask His Majesty to crusade against him! ”

As soon as Biqiu Jian's words came out, all the important ministers in the hall were filled with righteous indignation, and they all said that they should send troops to recruit Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong.

When it came to Shu before, everyone looked old-fashioned and serious, and they didn't speak or express their position. But when it comes to Liaodong, everyone is as if they have seen a great enemy of life and death, and everyone wants to give Liaodong a beating.

Cao Rong was used to seeing the appearance of this group of courtiers, but he felt that Liaodong was a soft persimmon that could be handled, and Shu was not easy to provoke, so don't set yourself on fire.

So Cao Rong looked at Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi had an expression of indifference, and after seeing Cao Rong's sharp eyes staring at him, he hurriedly arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, the matter of Liaodong, the minister thinks that His Majesty has an answer in his heart, and the minister supports His Majesty's holy judgment!"

The old turtle Sima Yi kicked the ball back again.
