Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 27 Deng Ai Returns!

(Deng Ai is on this world line, and his family follows Liu Bei in Xinye as a trilogy. For details, you must watch to explain the whole story.)
On a summer night, the forest trees from Zhuoxiang to Yidao were ignited by the god of fire, Zhu Rong. The raging fire seemed to go crazy, and it ran around with the wind, devouring the forest recklessly. The red flame was also like an arrogant painter. The brush in his hand painted black everywhere he went, and there was a scorching smell in the air.

Liu Bei supported the gate of the camp. The hot breath brought by the summer and the flames made him feel no warmth. Instead, he only felt that his body was so cold and his head was covered with cold sweat. His Majesty the big man who was originally looking at Jingxiang with great enthusiasm , I only felt that I was weak, and suddenly found that I was just an old man in his sixties.

Liu Bei's many years of combat experience told him that it is very dangerous at this time and he needs to make a choice.Liu Bei ordered Liao Hua, who was beside him, to investigate the situation of the former army Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, and then immediately consulted the map.

Liu Bei ordered his personal guards to hold up the map, looked at Zhuo Township, thought of Liu Chan, was a little distracted, and studied the direction of the army's withdrawal, fell into hesitation for a while, and suddenly only heard: "Your Majesty, you can go to ~ Ma ~ Anshan!"

Liu Bei didn't hear clearly and replied: "What?" After finishing speaking, he looked up, and the young guard stammered and repeated: "Ma~ Anshan!"

Under the light of the nearby torches, Liu Bei saw this young bodyguard, strong and strong, with a strong figure like a pine tree, a dark face, and strong eyes shining in those piercing eyes.

Wu Yi beside him scolded: "You little bodyguard, how do you know about the big army, retreat quickly." Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Wu Yi, and said in a friendly tone: "Speak slowly, don't panic."

The young guard took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, why don't you lead your troops to Ma'anshan and evacuate, Your Royal Highness and the governor of Zhao are in Zhuo Township. Ma~Anshan, wait~after dawn, when the situation stabilizes, then make a decision."

Liu Bei frowned and struggled to understand what Qinwei said. The more he listened to it, the more relaxed his face became, and then he recognized Qinwei's Xinye accent, and asked kindly, "You were from Xinye before?"

The young guard spoke slowly and said: "Yes, Ai~ is a new~ savage. In the early~years, my uncle followed Your Majesty~ to join the army, and my ~mother and I went south. Later, Your Majesty went to ~Shu, and the whole family~ moved to ~Shu~zhong. "

Liu Bei greeted him cordially, "How are your uncle and your mother?"

Seeing Liu Bei greeting his family, the young guards looked joyful and said, "Uncle~Father, I suffered~injured my thigh during the battle in the early years, and it is difficult to walk. I settled down in the middle of Sichuan and gave birth to a son. Mother, I am in good health!"

Liu Bei Fuxu sighed and said: "It's good that everything is fine. I didn't expect that I could meet the heirs of the old tribe in Xinye. I have lived in Xinye for seven years, and I am half of your fellow countryman. What do you call it?"

Listening to Liu Bei's words, the young guard relaxed and said slowly, "My surname is Deng and my name is Ai~~, and my name is Shizai."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Shi Zai, are you stuttering?" Deng Ai nodded in response, Liu Bei patted his shoulder and said, "Shi Zai, you will guard the front of my camp from now on!"

Liu Bei also ordered Wu Yi to reorganize the whole army and evacuate to Ma'anshan. In an instant, Liu Bei's camp was full of orders, and he was waiting to gallop in the camp to deliver the military order.

Looking at Liu Bei's figure, Deng Ai felt like he was in a dream. His Majesty was so amiable. He listened to his advice and even transferred himself to guard him. He couldn't help but sigh for His Majesty's benevolence and generosity. Deng Ai secretly determined to go through fire and water for His Majesty.

Deng Ai happily returned to his tent to pack his clothes. In the future, he will serve as Liu Bei's personal soldier and will no longer live with ordinary personal guards.

The partner in the same account packed up his clothes and weapons, and when he saw Deng Ai came back, he teased: "General Deng, what do you say, can you be worshiped as a military advisor by Your Majesty?"

Deng Ai blushed and stammered, "Ai~Ai~Ai."

The partner in the same tent continued to tease: "How many Ai do you have?" As he said it, the corporal lifted the curtain and scolded: "What's the noise? Your Majesty ordered us to go to Ma'anshan as soon as possible. An Neng is so slow! And Deng Ai was transferred to His Majesty's camp as a personal soldier, what right do you have to make fun of?"

The partner in the same account blushed and stopped talking. After the meeting, he apologized to Deng Ai and said with a smile: "Shizai, I am so sorry in the past. You used to study and look at the terrain to make maps. I, Lin, am so sorry. Please Don't be offended."

Deng Ai saw that the former arrogant fellow tentmates were so friendly, Deng Ai's original uneasy face faded, and he stuttered: "It's okay, we are all brothers in the same robe."

Other partners in the same account complimented: "Shi Zai, when I was studying before, I always said that you will not stay under the people for a long time, and you will definitely be valued by His Majesty in the future. Wei Zhenyuan (Wei Yan was named General Zhenyuan) is like this. After Shi Zai Become a general, don't forget to wait for me, don't forget about wealth and wealth!"

"Three Kingdoms" said: "Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang, followed the ancestors into Shu with his trilogy" (Liu Bei's personal background)

Deng Ai didn't say a word, just bowed his head and packed up the weapons and clothes, and went out of the tent directly after packing. When he met the corporal leader, he cupped his hands and said hello.

The corporal sighed and said: "You boy, it's good luck to be favored by His Majesty, so I said that reading is useful. I didn't misunderstand you before. I will serve Your Majesty more in the future and avoid wars more. Although there are fewer wars with His Majesty, my eyesight is not good enough." Less." After speaking, the corporal beat Deng Ai's chest and patted his shoulders, and then told him to share, and he behaved rationally.

Deng Ai thanked again and again, Deng Ai stuttered when he entered the camp before, and the corporal took care of him more. The corps chief saw that Deng Ai often read military books and made pictures, and often let Deng Ai live in the bright tent of the camp; at night, when he patrolled, he also adjusted the appropriate time for Deng Ai , There is a lot of care on weekdays, so the partners in the same account have a lot of grudges.

Deng Ai was very grateful to Wu Zhang, and couldn't help saying sadly: "Ai~~, thank you a lot on weekdays, Wu~chang will take care of you, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

The corporal chief said unhappily: "I treat you normally, so I don't want you to repay me in the future. I can't bear to see you stutter and love reading. I just need to take care of you. Hurry up and go to His Majesty's side and take good care of you."

Deng Ai nodded and hurried to guard His Majesty, not daring to relax.

"Three Kingdoms" Chen Shou said, "Deng Ai is strong and strong, and he has made great achievements. However, he is hidden in the prevention of disasters, and the blame and defeat will come. How can he know Zhuge Ke far away and can't see it for himself? This is what the ancients called self-discussion."

"Three Kingdoms" Chen Shou said: "Where Ai is, the wilderness is opened up, and the army and the people are both abundant."

Deng Ai wrote "Jihe Lun": "The Yellow Turban was broken in the past. Because of the farming, the grain was accumulated in Xudu to control the Quartet. Now Sanyu has been determined, and the matter is in Huainan. Every large army conscripts, transports more than half of the troops, and the effort is huge. I think Great battle. Between Chen and Cai, the soil is good, and the rice fields around Xuchang can be saved, and the water will flow to the east. Let 30,000 people in Huaibei, 40,000 people in Huainan, 5 minutes off, there are often 30 people, and keep the fields. Shuifeng often harvests three times as much as the west. After deducting all expenses, [-] million dendrobiums are used as military resources at the end of the year. In six or seven years, [-] million dendrobiums can be accumulated in the Huai River, which is enough for a hundred thousand people to eat for five years. Wu, there is no way to overcome it.”
