Yongzhou, a suburb of Chang'an.
"General!"
"Chen Gong confronted Jiang Wei near Didao. The army was advancing from the north road and avoided Jiang Wei's ambush."
The scout reported the situation on the front line.
Deng Ai was wearing armor and couldn't calm down in his heart.
When he arrived in Luoyang and the emperor held his hand in front of General Wei and said that he must be reused, Deng Ai didn't quite believe it.
After all, he was a close confidant of the Sima family. He was promoted from the bottom by Sima Yi himself, and he was a close confidant among the cronies.
Even if Cao Mao admires himself, does he still dare to trust himself unconditionally?
Moreover, the emperor also talked about farming and other things, which made Deng Ai even more certain that he would never be able to take charge of the army in the future.
Because Deng Ai knew how contemptuous these nobles would be towards things like farming and reclamation.
They despise farmers, despise farming, and even don't think highly of the officials who work in the fields.
So far, the person Deng Ai has seen who cares most about this matter is the deceased Ma Yi of Xuanwen Company.
When Sima Yi discovered Deng Ai, he asked him for advice on farming, and followed his instructions to carry out reclamation and farming in various places, which made Wei's strength even higher.
He didn't think what the emperor said was the truth, probably just to keep himself away from the army in the future.
However, after leaving Sima Zhao's residence, Cao Mao pulled him into the car and rushed all the way to the Chinese army camp.
His appointment was announced immediately.
General Zhenxi.
Before Deng Ai could react from this shock, Cao Mao summoned many generals of the Chinese army and began to discuss the major matter of counterattacking Jiang Wei.
Cao Mao directly asked Deng Ai and Xia Houxian to sit on his left and right respectively, while he sat on top.
Deng Ai was really shocked.
But that wasn't what shocked him the most.
After discussing with many generals and lieutenants, Cao Mao immediately decided not to look at the faces of the ministers in the temple and directly sent troops. He sent a part of the Chinese army to the battlefield to inflict heavy losses on Jiang Wei when Jiang Wei and Chen Tai dueled!
This idea was approved by the generals.
Deng Ai did not dare to say more, but Cao Mao made a decision directly. With Deng Ai as the commander-in-chief, he led Cheng Kuo, Ma Long, Wen Yang, Li Zhao, Sima Jun and others to send troops to attack Jiang Wei.
The cost of this troop dispatch was directly transferred from Taicang, and Lu Qin was directly responsible for it, without going through the Shangshutai.
Because the Sima family has continuously poured blood into the Chinese army's battalions over the years, the Chinese army's battalions have become extremely large. In addition to a few battalions composed of pure cavalry, the battalions commanded by Ma Long and Cheng Kuo have more than 10,000 people.
A total of more than 40,000 troops were dispatched this time, and they were all elites who had been reorganized by Xia Houxian and severely trained by Ma Long. Because of the emperor's reward, their fighting spirit was high and their combat effectiveness was extremely high.
With a king like Boss Cao around, the morale of the Chinese army has been constantly improving.
Deng Ai was immediately confused. He had just arrived. So he was going to hand over the Chinese army to him and let him lead the army on an expedition? ?
The emperor was so trusting that Deng Ai even felt a little guilty.
He did not dare to accept the order, so Cao Mao persuaded him: I treat you as a national scholar, and I hope you will repay me as a national scholar.
At this moment, Deng Ai didn't know how to answer. The emperor had been ready for the expedition long ago, but he lacked a commander.
Cheng Kuan used to play the role of a charge general. Like Wen Yang, he had no command experience. Ma Long was top-notch in all aspects, but he had no qualifications and was too young. Not to mention the others, when Deng Ai came, Cao Mao went on the expedition. The shortcomings have been filled.
Deng Ai was good at fighting, had qualifications and fame, and was familiar with Yongliang. Cheng Kuo knew his talents. Ma Long was his subordinate in the past, and the others didn't dare to say they could control him.
In this way, Deng Ai separated various camps in the name of training the army, and then left Luoyang and headed towards Yongzhou.
At this moment, Yongzhou's army had learned of the arrival of reinforcements, and Chen Tai also sent people to contact Deng Ai.
Deng Ai ordered the army to rest for the time being, and then summoned many captains.
"Everyone, everyone, Chen's army is advancing from the north to attack Jiang Wei. He himself is stationed with a small number of troops in the mountains south of Di, Di, Di Road."
"What do you think?"
Deng Ai asked his subordinates what they thought. For this expedition, Cao Mao arranged for him to be young people. Even Cheng Kuo, who was just in his early forties, was actually a young general.
Deng Ai is over 50 years old this year.
Putting aside the dizzying gods in history who were able to defeat enemies in their teens and twenties, the rest of the generals rose to prominence after a long period of hard work and accumulation of sufficient experience.
Deng Ai felt that it was necessary for him to help his majesty lead these young people.
The emperor treats himself as a scholar of the country, how can he not repay him as a scholar of the country?

"I think that given the current situation, we should draw out the elite cavalry in the army and let the infantry follow behind."
Wenyang began to present his own tactics.
"Then the cavalry advanced at full speed and headed straight for Didao."
"Behead Jiang Wei."
Everyone was looking forward to his tactical deployment, but when they heard this, they couldn't listen anymore. Deng Ai nodded, he admired the adventurous spirit of this young man.
Many times, it is often this kind of unexpected behavior that can defeat the enemy the most.
Deng Ai said approvingly: "You have great ideas, but the situation in Yongliang is complicated now, so we should be cautious."
Ma Long immediately said: "Deng Gong, you should take the opportunity to cut off their retreat, surround Jiang Wei, and annihilate his entire army."
Deng Ai was also very impressed. He commented: "At your age, if you encounter an ordinary general, you will definitely win."
He immediately explained: "But Jiang Wei is not an ordinary commander-in-chief. Could it be that he would despise the safety of his own food routes?"
"If he dares to besiege Didao this time, he must have ensured that his food route will not be easily cut off. Perhaps he has set up an ambush and is waiting for us to attack."
Malone added: "Then what if we use a small group of cavalry to attack his food road, so that he does not dare to attack with all his strength, and wait until he is tired to attack again?"
Deng Ai shook his head again, "Jiang Wei attacked Didao and was unable to capture it for a long time. Then he was attacked by Chen Gong. At this moment, morale must be low. The soldiers have complaints against him and are unwilling to fight again."
"If they learn that the food route has been cut off, I'm afraid it will only arouse their fighting spirit. It will be very disadvantageous to fight them on the plains."
Deng Ai looked at Cheng Wu, who smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, I will obey your orders."
He didn't express his opinion at all, but Deng Ai still admired him very much, "He can do what he can."
Deng Ai spoke of his thoughts at this moment, "I think we should attack Zhongdi first and take down this place to wait for work."
"Ah? Why do we need to hit the clock embankment?"
"Where is Zhongdi?"
Several generals looked at each other, and Deng Ai drew a picture directly on the ground. The drawing was extremely standard.
"Look, the armies of both sides are now deployed here. If Jiang Wei still wants to succeed, he must attack the mountains and capture Chen Gong, because he has the fewest men here."
"But the problem is that Jiang Wei will not attack so easily, and Chen Gong will not fail easily if he defends the mountain."
"In the end, Jiang Wei will definitely not be able to take this mountain, and the morale of his army will reach an extremely low level. At that time, as long as Chen Gong shows his intention to cut off his retreat, Jiang Wei will definitely withdraw his troops."
"Look at these routes. If we want to retreat, we can avoid the Yongliang army, and at the same time we can replenish supplies along the way, and the only route that can slightly restore our record is this route to Zhongdi. If we take it now Here, wait for Jiang Wei to return to the army, then we can start a battle with him here."
"When we got here, the lieutenant generals of Jiang Wei's army must have been indifferent and had no morale. When we suddenly attacked and a fierce general like Wenjun rushed into the formation, they must have been frightened. No matter how powerful Jiang Wei was, there was nothing he could do to stop this. rout"
"This time Jiang Wei invaded with a large army. The minister of Shu was originally opposed to his expedition, but he insisted on acting recklessly. If he is defeated this time, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to attack again in the future. Then we will have enough time to reorganize the army. .”
Deng Ai looked very excited.
Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and Wen Yang couldn't help but said: "General, these are just your predictions."
"Now Jiang Wei is fighting Duke Chen in Didao. We were sent to support, but we went directly to this county whose name we have never heard. If Jiang Wei did not leave from here in the end, or even defeated Duke Chen, then we would have He will be arrested and beheaded."
"When people talk about us in the future, they will laugh at our stupidity, saying that as reinforcements, we stayed away from the battlefield after arriving at Yongliang and went directly to other places, causing the army to collapse."
Deng Ai slowly frowned, "This is not a discussion with you, this is my order!"
"If something happens, I will be responsible."
"This is a marching operation, how can it be without risks?!"
"I have given up my will! Send troops!!"
The generals could only take orders at this moment. After all, compared to their suggestions just now, Deng Ai's analysis was much more reliable. If it was true as Deng Ai said, they could severely block Jiang Wei's wave and defeat Jiang Wei's entire army. If they were defeated and could even capture or kill Jiang Wei alive, then their contribution would be huge! !
Wen Yang became excited again. Listening to Deng Ai's words just now, it was obvious that he wanted to lead the charge.
When the time comes, we must capture Jiang Wei alive and let the old general see what he is capable of! !
Deng Ai led the army, instead of going to Didao, he ran directly towards the county town in the distance.
At this moment, Jiang Wei was leading an army to attack Chen Tai's hilltop. The attack lasted for two days, but without any progress.
The whole situation became extremely unfavorable to Jiang Wei.
But even so, Jiang Wei still did not choose to retreat.
The opportunity is so rare. If I miss this time, will there be another opportunity like this in the future? Can I come here again?
No, I must win! !
