Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 565 Jiang Wei and Deng Ai

When masters fight, the main thing is to stop when the time is right.

Zhong Yao and Wu Zhi argued with each other for a while, but neither of them got to the point.

If you just don't open your mouth, how can you tell me the purpose of your visit?

Wu Zhi finally got to the point.

He sat down and looked at Zhong Yao's face: "Yuan Chang, I wonder if you have any other new information about the situation in Chang'an?"

Zhong Yao paused, but thought that Wu Zhi had finally brought up the main topic.

But his expression was normal, and he took a sip of tea: "Liu Bei's relocation of the capital made a lot of noise, but as for what's new... I don't know."

Wu Zhi leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "I heard that Liu Bei is recruiting talents in Chang'an. I wonder if anyone from Wei would join him?"

Zhong Yao put down his teacup, his eyes deep, "Why do you say that, Grand Marshal?"

Wu Zhi looked him straight in the eye. "Recently there have been rumors that someone in the Wei court is secretly colluding with Liu Bei. Brother Yuan Chang, have you heard of this?"

Zhong Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Last time in the palace, your majesty questioned me, and I died to show my determination. Is the Grand Marshal doubting me again today?"

Wu Zhi also smiled: "Brother Yuan Chang, you worry too much. But this matter is of great importance, so we have to be cautious."

Zhong Yao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky: "Grand Marshal, you and I have worked together for many years, you should know my heart. Your Majesty has been very kind to me, how could I betray you for glory?"

Great acting...

With sincere admiration in his heart, Wu Zhi stood up and walked to Zhong Yao's side: "Yuan Chang's loyalty is evident, I was just too suspicious."

Is this an admission?

From the attitude he had used when questioning him in the palace to the obvious easing today, Zhong Yao could naturally sense the changes in Wu Zhi.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Your Majesty's move of the capital to Cheng'an has really caused the people in Ye City to be uneasy."

"This move is really wonderful!"

Although he admired Liu Bei in his heart, his expression remained calm.

He turned around and patted Wu Zhi on the shoulder: "I hope you don't misunderstand me... It's late at night, you should go back and rest early."

Hearing that Zhong Yao was going to see him off, Wu Zhi nodded, said goodbye, and walked out of the Zhong Mansion.

The night breeze blew on his face, he looked back and saw Zhong Yao's figure standing by the window, as if blending into the night.

...

In Yecheng, there were open and covert struggles, some were going crazy, some were looking for a way out, and the whole city was in chaos.

In comparison, Xing Daorong in Chang'an felt relieved for a while.

After Liu Bei moved the capital to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to find a mansion for him, which was the General's Mansion.

The mansion was very magnificent, and Xing Daorong himself had no idea how much land it occupied.

Anyway, if you walk inside... you will get lost if you are not careful.

However, no one dared to say a word about whether Xing Daorong was worthy of such a mansion.

After all, according to the great general's achievements, he could be called a king of a different surname, let alone... just a mere mansion.

...

Inside the general's mansion, there were two young men sitting side by side in the courtyard.

On the ground, a map was outlined with branches.

These two young men were Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.

Since these two teenagers were "protected" by Xing Daorong, they have been studying in Chengdu.

After all, the two boys were too young to follow the army in frequent expeditions. Besides, although experience was important, basic theoretical learning was also important.

In Chengdu, with Xing Daorong's special care, the two teenagers have made great progress over the years.

In addition, they are all extremely talented, so they are naturally much better than their peers.

Jiang Wei held a branch and drew the outline of Yecheng on the ground.

Deng Ai held a wooden sword with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Look, Xiao Ai..." Jiang Wei pointed at the figure on the ground, "Ye City is high and the moat is deep. If we attack it from the front, we will lose many soldiers and generals. It is better to cut off their food supply first, wait for their army to lose morale, and then defeat them in one fell swoop."

Deng Ai shook his head and tapped the ground with his wooden sword: "Too slow! Although Yecheng is heavily guarded, we can launch a surprise attack from the water. The water of Zhang River is turbulent. If we can sneak in at night, we will be able to catch them by surprise."

"Also... don't call me Xiao Ai..."

Jiang Wei said, "Okay, Xiao Ai... But your plan is too risky. The Zhang River is turbulent. If you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out."

Deng Ai's eyes flashed with helplessness, but he did not insist on the title, and continued: "The way to use troops is to win by surprise. If you play it safe in everything, how can you achieve great things?"

Jiang Wei was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "War is a major issue for a country. It is a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. We must be careful. If we act rashly, there may be trouble in the future."

Deng Ai stood up and waved his wooden sword: "Brother, you are always so cautious. But the world is changing rapidly. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will miss it!"

Jiang Wei also stood up and patted the dust off his clothes: "Xiao Ai's courage is commendable, but the way to use troops must weigh the pros and cons. Why don't we think about it again, maybe there is a better way."

The two grew up together, and both had tragedies in their families and rough family backgrounds. It is natural that they call each other brothers today.

Deng Ai put away the wooden sword and said with a smile: "Okay, let's think about it. But I always feel that sometimes, only by taking an unconventional approach can you achieve a surprising victory."

"Brother Jiang, Brother Deng... play with me!"

Just as he was thinking about how to capture Ye City, a childish voice was heard.

The two turned around and saw that it was the general's eldest son Xing Hui, running towards them with short steps.

This guy has really been grown up in their eyes since he was a child. Now he is only three years old and has endless energy!
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai naturally didn't dislike Xing Hui, but it was somewhat tiring to keep playing with a three-year-old child.

So the two looked at each other, and quickly came to an understanding, but decided to sacrifice one of them.

As for how to decide who to sacrifice...the two of them already had a tacit understanding.

Jiang Wei immediately shouted: "East, West, South, North, I choose Northeast..."

Deng Ai beside him immediately responded: "Then I am the southwest."

Soon Jiang Wei threw the branch in his hand into the sky, and following the two people's sight, they saw the thick end fell to the east. "

Deng Ai laughed when he saw this: "Thank you, brother, for accompanying Hui'er today!"

After that, he waved to Xing Hui who was running over and said, "Hui'er, Jiang Ge'er will accompany you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

He immediately turned around and ran away without stopping.

Jiang Wei's helpless voice was heard from behind: "What do you want to play, Hui'er... How about we play a game of war games?"

This made Deng Ai feel very upset again.

I thought my brother was exaggerating. What was the point of playing military tactics with a three-year-old?

But he couldn't do anything about it, so he just walked away, pretending he didn't hear it.

otherwise…

The one who is in trouble is me.

He was running fast without looking at the road, and suddenly he fell into the arms of someone walking towards him.

Then he looked up and saw that it was Xing Daorong!
