The place where Jiang Wei camped was flat and not dangerous, but it had a wide view.
Once there is any change, it can be discovered in time, making it easier to advance and retreat.
Deng Ai relied on his familiarity with the terrain around Duyang to find a condescending hillside.
After setting up camp, the two men dispatched scouts at the same time, and while exploring the surrounding terrain, they began to search for each other.
Listening to the news that was continuously passed back, Cao Ren and the others couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Unexpectedly, although Deng Ai and Jiang Wei were not very old and had not really experienced the baptism of the battlefield, they would be so experienced when setting up their marching formations.
After determining each other's positions, Jiang Wei was the first to take the initiative.
He divided five hundred people into a vanguard army and rushed towards the hillside where Deng Ai was.
Deng Ai naturally knew that if Jiang Wei was blocked at the foot of the mountain, he would become passive.
Therefore, he stationed half of his troops at the foot of the mountain, competing with the base camp on the hillside.
Seeing Deng Ai's response, Jiang Wei's 500 vanguard did not rush forward, but waited for the follow-up army to arrive.
After Jiang Wei arrived, his troops gathered together and began to attack Deng Ai's troops at the foot of the mountain.
However, Deng Ai's troops were mainly defensive and had the upper hand.
When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, Deng Ai personally rushed down from the hillside and launched an attack on Jiang Wei.
In an instant, Jiang Wei's troops suffered heavy losses!
He had to pay gold to withdraw his troops and gather the troops back first.
After suffering a loss, Jiang Wei became wiser.
He no longer stormed the camp at the foot of the mountain, but instead focused on harassment.
Either he pretended to attack, and after attracting the attention of Deng Ai's army, he chose to withdraw his troops.
Or they could attack the camp at night and withdraw their troops again after finding that they could not succeed.
After repeating this for two days, Deng Ai's troops at the foot of the mountain were exhausted.
In the end, Deng Ai had no choice but to order the soldiers and horses to be transferred back to the mountain.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei commanded his troops and surrounded the hillside with water!
In order to defeat Deng Ai early, Jiang Wei took a short rest and then launched an attack on Deng Ai!
The two sides were fighting fiercely. When Jiang Wei was about to break through Deng Ai's camp and win the exercise, he was stopped by Zhou Cang sent by Yang Ling.
"Boyo, the general asked me to invite you over."
"The drill is not over yet, why did the teacher let me pass?"
Jiang Wei was stunned.
"The exercise has ended. According to the judgment of the general, you have lost, Boyo."
Zhou Cang said.
"What?! How is this possible? I'm obviously going to win, how can it be possible that I lose?"
Jiang Wei was shocked.
"You will know if you meet the general."
Zhou Cang glanced at Jiang Wei sympathetically.
Jiang Wei did not hesitate and immediately rode back to the viewing platform.
But to his surprise, Deng Ai was right next to Yang Ling.
"Teacher, why did I lose?"
Jiang Wei said a little unconvinced.
Yang Ling smiled lightly and said to Deng Ai,
"It's up to you, Shizai, to speak."
"Obey...obey, teacher!"
Deng Ai stepped forward and explained to Jiang Wei softly.
It turned out that whether he was stationed on the hillside or divided his troops at the foot of the mountain, it was just a way for Deng Ai to confuse Jiang Wei.
His real intention was to attract Jiang Wei's soldiers and horses to the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, Deng Ai personally led a team of troops to climb down the back mountain.
When Jiang Wei sent his troops to the mountains, he rushed out and attacked Jiang Wei's flag.
"This...how is this possible? The back mountain is steep and steep, and it is impossible to climb!"
Jiang Wei couldn't help but said.
As early as when he surrounded the hillside, he sent people to check the surrounding terrain and was relieved after confirming that Deng Ai's army could not come down from the back mountain.
But he never expected that Deng Ai would climb down from the back mountain.
"Just what you thought was impossible, Shizai did it."
Yang Ling said calmly,
"So after he came down from the back mountain with his soldiers and horses, the division immediately judged him as the winner."
Jiang Wei was stunned on the spot and was speechless for a long time.
It was just an insignificant exercise, but Deng Ai dared to take the risk of climbing up the back mountain with his troops.
Such courage at such a young age is truly astonishing.
Yang Ling couldn't help but smile and praise,
"Shizai's performance this time is really amazing."
Cao Ren, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others on the side also nodded with deep understanding.
Looking at Jiang Wei who was unhappy, Yang Ling laughed and said,
"Boyo, there is no need to be depressed. The reason why you failed this time was entirely because you were too competitive!"
"If you just besiege the soldiers on the mountain and don't attack by force."
"In a few days, he will be defeated due to lack of water and food."
"But you just chose to attack with force, and ultimately fell into Shizai's trap."
"Being competitive is not a bad thing, but don't let it affect your judgment, do you understand?"
Jiang Wei looked a little ashamed. After a while, he said seriously,
“Students remember.”
He paused, looked at Deng Ai aside, and said respectfully,
"I lost this time, Bo Yue has met my senior brother!"
"Junior brother, you don't have to be polite."
Deng Ai also responded with a smile.
Looking at the two young men shaking hands and making peace, Cao Ren, Cao Tai, Cai Kun and others on the side couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
From this exercise, it can be seen that Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are quite talented in marching and fighting.
If I study with Yang Ling for a few more years, my future achievements will definitely be extraordinary!
Thinking of this, they admired Yang Ling's vision even more!
After the exercise, Yang Ling and everyone were preparing to return to Duyang City.
But when they were halfway there, a cavalryman galloped towards them.
When he arrived in front of Yang Ling, he pulled the reins, got off his mount, and handed over the official document in his hand.
"General, there are changes in Jingzhou!"
Yang Ling's heart moved, and she quickly took the official document from his hand and read it carefully.
"General, what happened in Jingzhou?"
Cao Ren on the side couldn't help but said.
Yang Ling put down the official document in his hand and looked solemn.
"Liu Biao is critically ill, and his eldest son Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others are plotting a rebellion!"
…
Xiangyang City.
Although the sun has been shining brightly in the past few days, those who are interested can still detect the private undercurrents from the soldiers in armor who patrol the city from time to time.
Just a few days ago, Liu Biao, who could still handle government affairs, suddenly fell seriously ill and fell into a coma.
Nowadays, Xiangyang City and even the entire Jingzhou are full of buildings with a storm approaching.
State pastoral office.
"Thank you so much, doctors."
"You're welcome, madam. This is all our responsibility."
Cai Yu nodded to Cai Mao beside him and motioned for him to send the doctors away.
After the doctors left, Cai Hao couldn't wait to ask,
"Second sister, how is the situation in the state animal husbandry?"
