"Kill if you want, how dare you humiliate?!"
The tied up Zhang Yi struggled angrily. He was forced to the ground. He looked at Deng Ai in front of him and kept roaring.
Wen Yang stood not far away, looking at Sima Jun beside him, his eyes full of envy.
This guy must be very lucky.
I had charged so many times, but only killed some captains and the like, but this guy captured the injured Zhang Yi alive in one charge.
The great general of the Shu Kingdom who conquered the west was actually captured alive. What level of credit does this have to be? ?
If he can get this credit, he can let his father join him in the promotion, making him more noble!
Wen Yang's face was filled with annoyance.
The two sides fought outside Zhongdi City. The battle lasted for an hour and a half, and finally ended with Deng Ai's victory.
Jiang Wei abandoned his helmet and fled in panic. Deng Ai almost wiped out Zhang Yi's army in the west, beheading more than ten thousand people. Jiang Wei and Xiahou Ba's armies also suffered huge damage each. The troops Jiang Wei brought from Wei State Everything was left behind.
It can be said that this is the greatest victory that Cao Wei has achieved against Shu in recent years.
They even captured a general who conquered the West.
If a general of this level is captured or killed, the impact will be huge.
Last year, Zhang Yi, the rogue general of Shu, died on the battlefield.
This year, General Zhengxi of Shu was captured.
Then next year, whose turn will it be?
Deng Ai was in a good mood, but the joy of victory could not be seen on his face. He asked people to tally military achievements and the list of sacrificed soldiers, and repeatedly warned him not to lie about his achievements, not to pretend to be enemy soldiers with ordinary people, and not to seize his colleagues and subordinates. ’s military exploits, etc.
Deng Ai had expected that Jiang Wei would run away. He dared to risk his life to fight Jiang Wei because he knew that Jiang Wei did not dare to risk his life to fight him.
He could kill Jiang Wei at the cost of 30,000 people, but would Jiang Wei dare to kill himself at the cost of 40,000 people?
Escape is his only way to survive.
It's a pity that Jiang Wei ran too quickly and decisively, otherwise his gains would have been even greater.
But this harvest is enough now.
Jiang Wei sent out nearly 50,000 troops. He suffered a strong blow from Didao and Chen Tai, and was attacked and killed by himself here. More than half of his soldiers were killed and wounded. General Zhengxi was captured again, but he himself was not. Any gain.
If I go back with such a record, I'm afraid I won't even be able to serve as a general.
Tens of thousands of casualties are completely acceptable to the Wei State, but for the Shu State, this is a bit nerve-wracking, not to mention that a general at the level of the Four Expeditions was captured. There will definitely be a big problem within the Shu State!
Deng Ai's eyes suddenly brightened.
Will this chaotic world finally be unified again?
But Deng Ai's military strength can only go so far at the moment. If he wants to continue the pursuit and win the Shu Kingdom, the Chinese army will not have enough men, and the logistics will not be able to keep up.
To overthrow Shu, at least two hundred thousand troops would be needed, and at least three states would have to provide a steady stream of supplies to solve logistical problems.
Deng Ai began to think deeply and looked at Zhang Yi in front of him.
"General, general, general is defeated, I treat them the same way I treat prisoners. How, how can I say it is rude?"
"We are all our own kings. The general and I have never met each other. I have no personal grudges and will not beat or abuse the general."
"Now I am going to put the general into a prison car and send him to Luoyang, where your majesty will take care of him."
"I don't know what happens next."
Deng Ai said truthfully, Zhang Yi's eyes were a little desperate.
But Deng Ai's meaning is also very clear. I can't decide your fate. Don't think about provoking me to die or anything else. Just wait to see the emperor.
Deng Ai waved his hand, and soldiers immediately took him out.
Deng Ai ordered: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him die."
Wen Yang said disdainfully: "He is just a defeated general. How many of us have he killed? If he asks for death, give his head to Your Majesty!"
Deng Ai shook his head and said seriously: "Zhang Yi has failed. Killing him will not change anything. If we can keep his life or even recruit him, it will be a fatal blow to Shu. In the future, Shu will If the country’s generals continue to fight against us, they will not go all out.”
"Just reorganize the army here and wait for Duke Chen to come and meet us."
In this battle, all the generals have made a lot of achievements, and their faces are all happy.
Especially Sima Jun, who vaguely took the lead in capturing Zhang Yi alive. Even Ma Long, who was responsible for infiltrating the fierce attack, Cheng Ku, who provided support, and Wen Yang, who took the lead in charging into the battle, could not compare with him.
But there was no joy at all on Sima Jun's face.
He even felt like crying.

The Sima family is no longer what it used to be. Most of the clan members were sent to their hometowns and imprisoned just like the Cao Wei clan.
As the younger brother of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, Sima Jun should have been the first to go home.
But for some reason, Cao Mao had no idea of deposing him. He even met him many times and admired his talents, as if he really regarded him as one of his family members.
Sima Jun went on the expedition together this time, and he didn't want to be in the limelight, as long as he could complete the order and not make any big mistakes.
Who would have thought that in this charge, he would actually capture Zhang Yi alive.
As a member of the Sima family, it is definitely not a good thing to have too much limelight. This is easily reminiscent of Xuan Wen Gong.
In the next few days, Deng Ai was stationed here, arranging his troops and horses, cleaning up the battlefield, and sending back those people who were abducted but not killed.
The most pitiful thing is that these people were arrested and forced to leave their hometown without doing anything. Halfway through, they encountered a big war. In the aftermath of the war, they suffered heavy casualties. Neither the Wei army nor the Shu army would be affected by it. Show them mercy when they are unarmed.
Looking at the people who didn't even dare to cry out of fear, Deng Ai's face was very solemn, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.
Jiang Wei looked at the young Wen Yang and saw what he looked like when he was young.
But seeing these innocent people being held hostage, Deng Ai saw what he looked like when he was young.
Many, many years ago, he was also coerced by Cao Cao and forced to leave his hometown. Along the way, he suffered a lot, and he did understand the suffering of the people at the bottom.
Deng Ai's greatest achievement in his life was not just the settlement of Shu.
He led the people to build Guangcao Canal and Baichi Canal successively.
The canal connects Yingshui and Huaishui, irrigates 20,000 hectares of fields, connects more than 300 miles of water transport roads, and irrigates farmland in Huaibei.
He held official positions in various places, but wherever he went, wasteland was opened up, channels were opened, grain and grass were harvested abundantly, and there was no suffering from famine.
He detested the chatty celebrities and liked to personally take the lead in construction and farming. He dismissed those who only talked and promoted many people with real talents and hard work in various places.
In the military, his achievements are equally impressive. In history, Jiang Wei has never defeated Deng Ai, not even once.
But he died in the hands of his own people in the end. After his death, Sima Zhao did not rehabilitate him and treated him as a rebel.
Until one day, Sima Yan talked to his ministers about Zhuge Liang and praised Wu Hou every day. One minister took the opportunity to persuade him to pardon Deng Ai. Sima Yan immediately agreed. Later, he issued an edict to rehabilitate Deng Ai, pardon his descendants' crimes, and put him to death. Appointed as a doctor.
This move slapped his father's face to pieces.
All I can say is that it has to be An Shi.
Just when Deng Ai was calming the people and reorganizing the army, Chen Tai finally arrived belatedly.
Chen Tai led the elite cavalry here.
When Chen Tai received the letter, he even couldn't believe it and was very shocked. He was surprised by the speed of the temple's dispatch of troops. Unexpectedly, the opponent also achieved such a record, defeating Jiang Wei and capturing Zhang Yi alive. , this is too scary.
Chen Tai dismounted, and Deng Ai led the generals to greet him.
"Meet General Zhenxi!"
Chen Tai took the lead in saluting, but Deng Ai hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to show off.
"Meet Mr. Chen!"
Chen Tai obviously already knew about Deng Ai's appointment in the temple.
And Deng Ai also proved himself through this battle. The generals of Yongliang were probably convinced of this new Zhenxi general at this moment, and they did not dare to have any more dissatisfaction.
Jiang Wei, who sent troops to the Northern Expedition every year, was severely beaten this time.
Is this the first time he has been defeated?
Several generals behind Chen Tai were also secretly looking at Deng Ai at this moment.
Deng Ai was still very polite to Chen Tai, and called several captains over and asked them to pay their respects to Chen Tai. After everyone paid their respects, Chen Tai praised him: "The country has strong generals, and there is nothing to fear from Shu thieves."
Deng Ai then took Chen Tai back to his camp, while the other captains chatted with Chen Tai's people outside.
The two walked into the tent, and Chen Tai directly asked about the details of the battle.
Deng Ai didn't hold anything back. After hearing the entire story of the battle, Chen Tai's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Deng Gong is good at fighting, but I am far inferior."
Deng Ai shook his head, "Chen, Chen, Duke Chen blocked Jiang Wei's fierce attack, which gave me the chance to defeat him. You were not afraid of the thieves' power, and used a small number of cavalry to make a surprise attack in a detour, so that Jiang Wei did not dare to act rashly. In the critical moment, Under the circumstances, defeat Jiang Wei's attack and force him to return his troops. You are good at fighting, but I am far inferior."
Chen Tai chuckled lightly, and the two of them complimented each other. Then, Chen Tai suddenly asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in Luoyang?"
Compared with Jiang Wei's affairs, Chen Tai was more concerned about the emperor's affairs.
Jiang Wei has been defeated, and what he has to face next is a battle in the temple, which is even more terrifying than Jiang Wei.
Moreover, Deng Ai was a close confidant of the Sima family, and now he was leading troops on an expedition. There was actually Sima Jun and Chen Tai among the captains, who were a little confused.
What is going on in the temple? ?
