Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 495 Returning to Yangping Fei Shi Recommends Ai

In mid-July of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Fei Shi returned to Yangping Pass for nearly fifty days.

Fei Shi went back and forth between Yangping Pass and Jiaozhou so quickly, and Liu Bei seemed to feel a gust of cool wind in his depressed mood. During this period of time, there was no good news for those sent to Micang Mountain to explore the road.

Micang Mountain is densely forested, steep, and there are wild beasts in the mountain from time to time. Not only did the men sent by Liu Bei fail to find a suitable passage, but also lost their way and disappeared, fell off the cliff, and died of being attacked by wild beasts. As many as a hundred people.

Yangping Pass and Maming Pavilion Road are still maintaining a feint attack, consuming the military supplies that Zhuge Liang worked so hard to raise every day.

"Why did you return empty-handed? Could it be that Song Chen is still in the north?" Seeing Fei Shi alone, Liu Bei was in a good mood like being poured with cold water, and his tone was a little stiff due to the huge sense of loss.

Seeing that Liu Bei was slightly angry, Fei Shi cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, Captain Song entered Shu with me, and I should have stepped on the trail of Micang Mountain by now. If I hadn't spent two days in Jiameng Pass, I would still Come back sooner."

Pang Tong next to Liu Bei asked curiously: "Yangpingguan is thousands of miles away from Jiaozhou. It's incredible that the public can come back so quickly, and Song Xiaowei has also entered the Micangshan trail. How did you do it?" of?"

"Returning to the Pang Army Division, it may be because of the lord Hong Fu. When I stopped the ship in Jiangling to rest, I accidentally found that General Lan and Captain Song were there. If I hadn't spent two days in Jiameng when I returned to the city, I would have been two days earlier. Go back to the lord." Fei Shi answered truthfully.

"The luck of the public examination is really good." Liu Bei suddenly realized, first talking to himself, and then continued to ask: "Can Ziyu ask you to bring something back?"

Fei Shi replied: "General Lan asked my lord to rest assured that General Yide must still be hiding in Wudu. As long as my lord puts pressure on Cao Jun in Hanzhong, General Zhang will naturally show up."

"Ziyu shares the same opinion as the two military advisers, but the pathfinding at Micang Mountain is extremely slow now. I don't know when we can really open up a passage to the hinterland of Hanzhong." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed.

Fei Shi suddenly said in a flash: "The Jiameng area of ​​Zitong County is mostly refugees from Hanzhong. Many people know a little about the topography of Micang Mountain. Song Xiaowei went to Micang Road to ask Deng Shizai (Deng Ai) to borrow it." I have become a guide, my lord, why don't you let him take the refugees from Hanzhong to explore the way?"

"Bei actually forgot about this, and has been treating Deng Shizai as a general who garrison fields, maybe he can really be like a public office" Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking.

Military Advisor Fazheng questioned with a puzzled face: "There are 20 refugees from Hanzhong, and there may be households from Mi Cangshan among them. What Shi Caigongju said is very reasonable. My lord ordered Deng Ai to come and see him."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Exploring the road in Micang Mountain is full of dangers. Deng Shizai is the grandson of the old master Deng, and he is Ziyu's only disciple. What if something goes wrong? Besides, he organizes food transportation for the villagers in Zitong and Jiameng. It is also contributing to the capture of Hanzhong."

"Mr. Xuanxiao is proficient in running schools, developing agriculture, managing government affairs, and employing soldiers. His disciples are definitely not idle people. The civilians who have been fighting for several months to transport food are strictly disciplined, and they are completely comparable to a second-rate army. It is enough to see Deng Shizai. The ability is extraordinary, my lord, don't look forward and backward, but know how to use it well." Fazheng advised.

Pang Tong nodded in agreement: "Deng Shizai not only obtained the essence of Ziyu from the farmland, but also settled the 20 refugees in Hanzhong properly. Tong came to Zitong several times and found that he has a high prestige among the villagers. My lord must pay attention to this force. I guess Ziyu will also I don't want his disciples to be buried in Qianmo."

"What the two military advisers said is very true. Before Song Xiaowei went to Jiameng to borrow a guide, Deng Shizai had learned that Micang Mountain was not going well. He is currently hesitating whether to come here to invite Ying, but he has been selected among the villagers to dare to die. Gentleman, I guess as long as the lord nods slightly, he will be happy to see you." Fei Shi replied.

"Ziyu is really Xiao Heye. I watched Deng Shizai grow up. This child is calm and sophisticated, and he has the style of a teacher. Ziyu can't stay with me, so he can only work hard as his disciple. I will trouble you again Let's go." Liu Bei sighed sincerely.

"Wei." Fei Shi answered with cupped hands.

After Liu Bei became the lord of Yizhou, the most mentioned topic in Chengdu about Lantian was the seafood shipped from Jiaozhou every winter. People in central Shu didn't know that Lantian was a seafood merchant.

Because Lantian was vigorously developing schools in Jiaozhou, and he did not treat the nobles extra when appointing officials, the children of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and Yizhou had a lot of opinions on him. However, because of his high position and authority, he did not dare to speak nonsense, so he collectively avoided the topic of Lantian.

General Lai Gong of Zhenyuan spared no efforts in publicity, so that Lantian maintained a slight sense of presence in Yizhou.

As a disciple of Lantian, Deng Ai was affected by Chiyu. He made great contributions to settling Hanzhong refugees in Zitong and reclaiming wasteland.

Everyone in the tent saw Liu Bei and Xiao He came to make an analogy. They knew that no matter how Lan Tian was squeezed out, in Liu Bei's heart, Optimus Prime still exists.

Two days later, Deng Ai came to Liu Bei's camp on the north bank of Mianshui, and he entered Liu Bei's tent under the leadership of Chen Dao.

I haven't seen each other for a few years. Deng Ai has transformed from an immature youth to a firm-eyed adult. He has been in the fields all year round guiding planting, leading villagers to build new water conservancy and irrigation, and his skin has been tanned like Lantian. Bian also began to grow long beards slowly.

Deng Ai is only 21 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his youth. After being tossed about by himself, his apparent age has directly increased by seven or eight years.

Liu Bei looked at Deng Ai and nodded with satisfaction: "You have changed a lot these years. It has been hard work in Zitong, right?"

Liu Bei knew that Deng Ai's promotion had been blocked, but he had no choice but to stabilize the people's hearts at the beginning of Shuzhong. In addition, his current official position was only the left general of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to properly settle the Yuancong faction, Jingzhou faction, Dongzhou faction, and Yizhou It was not easy to send people. It was obviously a situation where there were too many monks and too few food, so we could only wrong this young man temporarily.

"It's not easy until you practice it yourself. It really comprehends my husband's saying, 'What you learn on paper is superficial, but you must do it yourself'. In the past few years, I have gained a lot by applying what I have learned, so I did not feel the hard work, but rather A little sense of accomplishment." Deng Ai replied truthfully.

"Ziyu really taught a good disciple. He asked Shi Zai to plant grain in Zitong, just to use it to capture supplies from Hanzhong. I'm afraid Kong Ming may not be able to make such a layout. Now you have to work hard to cross Micang Mountain. I don't know if there is any." Confidence?" Liu Bei asked with a frown.

Deng Ai patted his chest and replied sonorously: "I selected [-] men who dared to die, and among them there are many hunters from Micang Mountain. This trip should be able to open a passage to provide guarantee for the passage of troops and the transportation of supplies. "

Liu Bei patted Deng Ai's shoulder, and said very kindly: "I don't know why, your master and apprentice can always make Bei feel at ease. Some soldiers will go into the mountains to explore the road. I will take the land of Hanchuan."
