    General Deng, Deng Ai is here.

    Because it was Yan Liang who adopted Deng Ai as his adopted son, his subordinates all called Deng Ai General Deng.

    "You all go down." Yan Liang waved his hand and shouted.

    Although Deng Ai is now a teenager, he is still a child in the eyes of Yan Liang. It is better not to let him see this scene of hugging each other, so as not to teach the children badly.

    Zhu Rong and his daughter bowed Yingying and then both left.

    After a while, a brave young general strode into the hall and bowed to him: "My son, Deng Ai, pay homage to my adoptive father."

    "Haha, my son, get up quickly." Yan Liang smiled and waved his hand.

    Several years have passed since Yan Liang adopted Deng Ai as his adopted son. Today, Deng Ai, through Yan Liang¡¯s training and care, is no longer the skinny boy with a stutter.

    It has been half a year since I last saw Deng Ai, and he has grown into a strong-backed man, with quite the air of a young hero.

    Deng Ai is a piece of beautiful jade, which can only be made into a weapon if he is good at carving it. Over the years, Yan Liang has mostly either asked him to stay at the base camp, or asked him to go to Wen Chou to learn marksmanship. In his spare time, he would teach him the art of war.

    Now that Yan Liang and Cao Cao were about to fight, Yan Liang suddenly thought that Deng Ai was already very old, and it was time for him to go to the battlefield and accumulate battlefield experience. Therefore, not long ago, he ordered people to go to Xu Duwen's ugly place and summon Deng Ai.  Shuzhong.

    "Father, I heard that Cao Cao is attacking Shuzhong from the south. I don't know when my foster father will let me go to the battlefield. I will go and meet the generals in Cao's camp." Deng Ai, who has been studying for a long time, has been eager to go to the battlefield in the morning.

    Yan Liang said calmly: "I am calling you to Shu this time. It is because I want you to experience it. Don't worry, there will be a time when you go into battle to kill the enemy."

    "Thank you, father!" Deng Ai was very excited.  Thank you quickly.

    Yan Liang expressed his condolences to him a few more times, thinking that he had traveled thousands of miles to Shu, and planned to ask him to go down and rest first.

    At this time, Deng Ai suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Father, before my son goes to Shu, Mr. Yuan Zhi asked me to report an important piece of information to my adoptive father. According to my detailed emergency report from Nanyang, the Shen of Shangyong County  The brothers have surrendered to Cao Cao not long ago. Cao Cao has sent his son Cao Zhen to advance to Shangyong with 10,000 troops. It seems that he wants to attack Nanyang from Shangyong. "

    The three Shangyong counties surrendered to Cao Cao!

    Hearing the news, Yan Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised.  but.  Yan Liang was somewhat mentally prepared for this.

    Now that Wuguan is occupied by Yan Liang and Luoyang is occupied by Liu Bei, Cao Cao has basically lost the ability to threaten Yan Liang from the pass.

    Now Cao Cao wants to compete with Yan Liang for Yizhou. With his resourcefulness, Hanzhong will surely think of taking advantage of the situation to attack Shangyong and threaten the hinterland of Nanyang, so as to contain Yan Liang from the side battlefield.

    The military strength of the three Shangyong counties is weak.  It is normal to be unable to withstand Cao Cao's attack.

    Now Yan Liang has deployed troops and horses on the front line of Xudu.  There are only more than 20,000 people, and Nanyang's troops are only five or six thousand.

    Suppose Cao Zhen leads Shangyong's troops to threaten Nanyang from the east. With the troops of Wenpin, Xu Shu and others, he must not only guard against Liu Bei in the north, but also deal with Cao Zhen in the west. Obviously, the military strength will be a little inadequate.

    Moreover, Cao Zhen is a veteran general of the Cao family. In the past, he commanded the Wei State's Western Front Corps and repeatedly defeated Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.

    This general at the command level is obviously not something that a civil servant can handle.

    Realizing that there was a threat from Nanyang, Yan Liang immediately ordered the food and wine to be withdrawn, and quickly summoned Pang Tong and several other advisers to come for discussion.

    Even if Pang Tong and Fazheng had strategies, they could not retreat from Shangyong's enemy empty-handed. After some discussion, several counselors agreed that some troops and horses should be transferred from the front line in central Shu to return to Nanyang to aid.

    Furthermore, Pang Tong also believed that a capable general should be sent to Nanyang with the army to assist Wenpin.

    Now that the decisive battle between Yan Liang and Cao Cao is imminent, what Yan Liang needs most are strong generals, such as Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and other important generals, so naturally they cannot be easily transferred.

    And Li Yan, Zhang Ren and other generals who had recently surrendered to Shu were not familiar with Jingzhou at all, so it was obviously not appropriate to order them to lead their troops out of Sichuan to fight.

    After careful consideration, Yan Liang finally made the decision and ordered Lu Xun to lead 5,000 troops to Nanyang to strengthen the defense.

    Who is Lu Xun? In history, he was a genius who defeated Liu Bei in Yiling, defeated Wei in Shiting, and made Cao Xiu angry to death. Although his martial arts was not outstanding, his ability as a commander was quite outstanding.

    Cao Zhen, who is now threatening Nanyang, also has the talent of a commander, and Yan Liangming, who also has the talent of a commander, goes to deal with it. It is a perfect match.

    And although Lu Xun is young, he is stillHe entered the battle in Shu and took on the position of partial army. He performed quite well and was considered a rare experience.

    Yan Liang believes that although Lu Xun has not yet reached the age where he shined in history at this time, he should not have a problem dealing with Cao Zhen, who has also just emerged, after experiencing the war in Shu.

    The counselors were quite surprised by Yan Liang's decision. They all felt that Lu Xun was young and Nanyang was a critical place, so an experienced general should be sent there.

    Yan Liang, however, resisted reconsideration and insisted on using Lu Xun.

    When Yan Liang did this, besides trusting Lu Xun, he also had more profound thoughts.

    Now that he has occupied the territory of the four states, his territory is getting bigger and bigger. The important areas in each state need some capable commanders to guard them.

    Moreover, in today's war, except for the decisive battle, which Yan Liang needs to personally command, other local battles require unique talents to complete Yan Liang's job.

    It is precisely for this reason that Yan Liangcai urgently needs to cultivate some commander-level talents similar to Lu Meng to guard the four sides for him.

    Looking at the generals under his command, except for Lu Meng, only Li Yan, Lu Xun, and Wei Yan have such both civil and military abilities. Now that there is an opportunity, Yan Liang will certainly not let it go, and it will be used to train Lu Xun.

    The counselors knew that Yan Liang had a unique eye for employing people and could often unearth buried gold.

    Since Yan Liang insisted on using Lu Xun now, the counselors thought that Lu Xun must be outstanding, otherwise how could he be appreciated by the lord.

    Therefore, the counselors no longer objected.

    After agreeing to reinforce the people from Nanyang, Pang Tong said again: "My lord, there is recent news from Hebei Province. The battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Tan has reached the final moment. Now Liu Bei has the upper hand. If he can capture Youzhou, he will probably  We will send our troops south. We all believe that now we must change our strategy appropriately and fight Cao Cao as soon as possible to capture Hanzhong, so as not to fall into the disadvantageous position of fighting Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

    Liu Bei, I have been busy pacifying Yizhou, but I haven¡¯t paid much attention to you. I didn¡¯t expect you to have almost destroyed Yuan Tan

    A sense of urgency arose in Yan Liang's heart.

    After thinking for a moment, Yan Liangteng stood up and said solemnly: "Time waits for no one. I have decided not to waste time with Cao Cao. I will pass on the order and the armies will make preparations as soon as possible. In three days, I will attack Chengdu."  Soldiers, go north and fight to the death with Cao Cao!"

    ¡­¡­

    Thousands of miles away, Youzhou.

    Twenty miles south of Ji County, Liu Jun¡¯s camp is located.

    The numerous fortifications stretched for more than ten miles, and the flags covering the sky rolled like waves.

    Sixty thousand Liu troops stationed their troops here, facing Youzhou Prefecture's Ji County and Yuan Tan's thirty thousand Youzhou troops.

    Liu Bei stood outside the tent, looking in the distance towards Jixian County for a long time, but he sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness hidden in his sigh.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Footsteps sounded, and Sun Qian hurried over, cupping his hands and saying: "My lord, there is an urgent report from the south. The grain team setting off from Zhuoxian County was attacked by Yuan Tan's Qingqi yesterday, and nearly half of the 200,000 dendrobium grains and grass were lost."

    It¡¯s Yuan Tan¡¯s Qingqi again

    Since Fan Yang's defeat, Yuan Tan, who retreated to Ji County, became wiser. While holding on to Mos County, he sent light cavalry to continuously harass Liu Bei's grain roads.

    With worries about his future and unstable soldiers, Liu Bei was unable to concentrate his forces to attack Jixian. This was Liu Bei's helplessness.

    "Quickly tell the military advisor to come to discuss." Liu Bei secretly gritted his teeth and paid off the debt with a flick of his sleeves.

    Not a moment later, Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly and walked into the tent. When Liu Bei saw Kong Ming arriving, he hurriedly told Zhuge Liang about the fact that the grain team was robbed again.

    "This is the third time in January that our food team has been attacked. Military advisor, you can't bear it anymore. You have to come up with an idea." Liu Bei urged.

    "Well" Zhuge Liang, who had always been confident, became embarrassed at this time.

    Although Liu Bei has a large number of troops and strong strength, his biggest shortcoming is that he does not have an organized cavalry.

    Without cavalry, what could be used to control Yuan Tan's light cavalry?

    It¡¯s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Even Zhuge Liang was at a loss to do anything at this time.

    While Zhuge Liang was thinking hard about countermeasures, Chen arrived outside the tent and stepped in. He cupped his hands and said, "To inform my lord, there is a scribe outside the tent who claims to be Sima Yi of Hanoi and wants to see the lord."

    Sima Yi?Hearing this name, Zhuge Liang didn't know why, but a chill suddenly ran across his back for no reason, as if he was born allergic to this name.

    "Sima Yi? Could it be Sima Zhongda in Sima Bada?" Liu Bei was suspicious for a moment, and couldn't help showing joy, and immediately said: "Quickly, please come and meet this Sima Zhongda."

    Liu Bei's power today is not small, especially after the capture of Yecheng, his strength has increased dramatically.

    However, Liu Bei's background as a mat weaver and shoe seller made the wealthy and famous people in Hebei hold a wait-and-see attitude towards Liu Bei, and not many came and returned. This was something that Liu Bei had been troubled by.

    The Sima family is the most prominent family in the river, and Sima Yi is also known as Sima Bada. Now he suddenly traveled thousands of miles to the front line of Youzhou to ask for a meeting with him. How could Liu Bei not be happy.

    While waiting happily, a moment later, a young scribe with eagle eyes calmly walked into the big tent.

    The person who came was none other than Sima Yi.

    When Zhuge Liang, who was shaking his fan at the side, saw Sima Yi for the first time, he couldn't help but paused with the feather fan in his hand.
