Meng Da's 30,000 reinforcements had already passed Huya Mountain and reached Zhijiang, not far from Jiangling.

He wondered, were Jiangdong's soldiers too weak or Jingzhou's soldiers too powerful?

It's just a police city, but they haven't been able to win it after fighting for so long. Jiang Dongbing can really go home and hold his child.

He had never thought about how much Gan Ning had to pay to block Jiang Dongbing's offensive in Gong'an City.

Nephew Deng Xian asked Meng Da: "Now we are at a loss. If we had known that the Public Security City could resist for so long, we might as well speed up and rush to the rescue."

Meng Da was in a bad mood. He glared at Deng Xian and said, "If we rush to Gong'an City now, I'm afraid I'll be charged because of the delay. It's better to just surrender to Sun Quan."

Deng Xian was overjoyed: "You can pretend to support Gong'an City. After entering Gong'an City, take advantage of Gan Ning's unpreparedness and kill him. Take Gan Ning's head and Gong'an City to join Sun Quan. Uncle, you will be reused."

Meng Da nodded and decided happily.

If you want to blame, it's Li Qi's ignorance and ignorance of how to reuse talents. If he had known this, he wouldn't have betrayed Liu Zhang in the first place.

Meng Da led the army and set off immediately. Now he changed his plan and wanted to arrive before the Gong'an city was broken, so that he could make a decisive contribution to the Jiangdong Supreme by beheading generals and seizing the city.

As soon as the army crossed the Zhijiang River, a group of men and horses came towards them.

Although the other party used the banner of "Li", Meng Da had never seen Deng Ai, so he reined in his horse and asked warily: "Who are you?"

When Deng Ai saw Meng Da, he got off his horse, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, showed Gan Ning's seal and ribbon with his left hand, and said: "Ya...Yamen General Deng Ai."

Meng Da frowned and asked: "Isn't General Yamen Gan Ning? Could it be that General Gan failed to defend the city and was withdrawn?"

Deng Ai said: "Gan... General Gan is dedicated to guarding the public security and has outstanding military exploits. He has been moved to General Weinan."

Meng Da read the seal and the appointment letter carefully and found no flaws, so he asked: "What is the purpose of General Deng here?"

Deng Ai said: "You are marching slowly, and you are specially... specially here to supervise the army."

Meng Da and Deng Xian looked at each other. Meng Da walked towards Deng Ai again and said: "This is the first time the general and I have met. I haven't read the appointment letter clearly yet. Please bring it and let me take a closer look.

The matter is of great importance, and I hope the general will forgive me."

Deng Ai's hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened slightly, and he handed over the appointment letter again with his left hand.

Meng Da took the appointment letter with both hands, raised his eyebrows and looked at Deng Ai, and suddenly said: "The appointment letter is fraudulent, this is a Jiangdong spy..."

Before he finished speaking, Deng Ai had drawn his sword in his hand, put the blade on Meng Da's neck, and said, "Isn't there any general who recognizes Yin Shou?"

Deng Xian walked out, picked up the seal and ribbon on the ground, and said, "This is a forged seal and ribbon. You dare to kidnap General Meng. Are you tired of living?"

Deng Ai was shocked. How could the seal and ribbon be fake? Wasn't it sent by someone from Gan Ning?

After countless calculations, he calculated that Deng Xian was Meng Da's nephew, so he could tell lies with his eyes wide open.

Fortunately, Deng Ai's sword was placed on Meng Da's neck. If they dared to move, Meng Da would be dead immediately.

But Deng Ai never imagined that the life of his uncle Meng Da would not be enough to stop Deng Xian's ambition.

In the original history, when Meng Da surrendered to Shu, Wei and then Shu, it was Deng Xian who sold him to Sima Yi, which led to Sima Yi's sudden capture of Meng Da and indirectly led to the bankruptcy of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition plan.

Deng Xian called to the sergeants beside him and said: "Capture the Jiangdong spies and rescue General Meng."

Deng Ai tied the sword tightly around Meng Da's neck, and the blood mark was clearly visible: "I... I'll see who of you dares!"

Meng Da also hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Don't even move!"

Deng Ai really stuttered, but Meng Da was so frightened that he stuttered.

Deng Xian thought quickly in his mind: Yizhou soldiers were in civil strife, and Deng Ai killed my uncle to seize power. Therefore, I killed Deng Ai, Gan Ning, and dedicated Gong'an City to Jiangdong. This is so reasonable and well-founded, with merits and deeds, and it makes sense both emotionally and rationally.

.It is much more glorious than directly beheading generals and presenting the city.

Therefore, Deng Xian said to the soldiers around him: "Now that General Meng has been captured by an enemy general, all officials in the army should obey my orders."

A deputy general hesitated and said, "But is General Meng still in the hands of the enemy general?"

Deng Xian said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. As a soldier, he has made great contributions to the country while being wrapped in horse leather. How can he abolish public service for private purposes?"

Deng Aixin said that he was done for now, but he didn't expect that he still had such a thing inside.

Originally, he thought that after Meng Da was captured, the other lieutenants should obey his military orders after seeing the appointment letter and the seal and ribbon. But unexpectedly, Deng Xian appeared and insisted that Gan Ning's seal and ribbon were fake, and that Deng Xian

It turned out that he could even disregard his own uncle's life.

Now that Deng Xian had spoken, other sergeants with lower rankings did not dare to disobey him.

They don't think this is necessarily right, but apart from Meng Da, the only one in the army who listens to Deng Xian.

Originally, some sergeants were wary of Meng Da and did not dare to act rashly, but Deng Xian's cronies had already swung their halberds towards Deng Ai, so they had no choice but to squirm forward slowly.

In order to escape, Deng Ai wiped Meng Da's neck with his sword, then got on his horse and held the gun in his hand.

The Yizhou soldiers no longer had any scruples and rushed toward Deng Ai with a roar.

Seeing that Yizhou soldiers were surrounding him, Deng Ai rushed from left to right and was unable to escape. Another group of men and horses appeared from the mountain col.

The leading general came over with a sword and shouted to stop.

Deng Ai saw it and said happily: "Liao...General Liao is here."

Liao Hua followed Li Qi from Xicheng and was active on the battlefield in Yizhou. Later, he trained troops and garrisoned in Daba Mountain. He had contacts with many Yizhou soldiers, so many people knew Liao Hua.

Now don't worry about whether Deng Ai's seal is true or false. Without Meng Da, Liao Hua's position as a celebrity is much greater than that of Deng Xian.

Some Yizhou soldiers were confused to begin with, so they did not kill Deng Ai like they did when they rushed to kill the enemy, but more wanted to capture him alive. Moreover, there were so many 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they lined up behind the mountain.

It is estimated that the soldiers behind did not know what happened in front. So Liao Hua scolded, and the sergeant in the front team who was chasing Deng Ai stopped.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liao Hua said: "General Deng is General Yamen appointed by Jia Changshi with the authorization of the lord. How dare you be so unreasonable?"

After that, Liao Hua picked up the seal and ribbon on the ground and showed it to several other lieutenants, even the commander and uncle, and then they realized that they had just been deceived by Deng Xian.

Someone had captured Deng Xian long ago and cursed angrily: "The traitor almost caused us to make a big mistake."

Another person said: "I just find it strange. They say that putting out emergencies is like putting out fires, but our schedule has been so slow these days. It turns out that these two people have evil intentions."

Liao Hua bowed to Deng Ai with respect and said: "General Deng, the end is too late. How should Deng Xian deal with it?"

When the Yizhou soldiers saw that Liao Hua had treated Deng Ai as a superior and subordinate, no one doubted the falsehood of Deng Ai's position, so they all knelt down to apologize.

Deng Ai knew that he was lying. Liao Hua did this just to dispel the doubts of the entire army, so he had to endure it if he couldn't bear it. He also said: "Deng...Deng Xian delayed his trip and committed...

cut."

Deng Xian shouted for his life, saying: "The general will finally be convicted, but Meng Da instigated all of this!"

Deng Ai sneered: "In order to capture me, you disregarded Meng Da's life. Is it Meng Da's instigation?"

Deng Xian was speechless and had already been pressed down by the swordsman in the army.

He raised the knife and dropped it, and a head rolled to the side of Meng Da's body.

Deng Ai immediately ordered to quickly reinforce the Public Security City!

On the way to the march, Deng Ai thanked Liao Hua: "Today...Thanks to General Liao for rescuing the siege today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Liao Hua said: "General Deng was too polite. After General Deng left the table, Liao felt deeply guilty. When it comes to the 'big picture' that my lord often mentioned, Liao was far behind General Deng."

The next day, the army crossed the Zhijiang River, passed Jiangling, and was heading towards the police.

The scouting horse from the front came to report: "Gong'an City has been lost, and General Gan Ning is retreating to Jiangling City."

"Hey!" Deng Ai angrily whipped the riding whip on his thigh and said, "Even if Meng Da is a little faster, the Public Security City will not be lost."

Liao Hua said: "General Deng, don't be anxious. Now that reinforcements have arrived, it will not be difficult to recapture Gong'an City."

Tan Ma continued: "General Gan Ning is expected to arrive here in half a day."

Liao Hua said: "Jiangdong's soldiers have just taken over Gong'an City, and their foothold is not yet stable. We can rush to Gong'an and recapture the city."

Deng Ai said: "No. The only one Jiangdong soldiers are afraid of is General Gan Ning. Now that General Gan is defeated and retreats, Jiangdong soldiers will definitely pursue him. We can go forward to find a location that is conducive to an ambush and defeat the Jiangdong pursuers first."

Liao Hua wondered: "After Jiangdong soldiers seized the city, shouldn't they reorganize the city and use it as a stronghold? General Deng ensured that they would pursue them? If they did not pursue but reorganized the city, then we would have lost the opportunity to recapture the city."

"

Deng Ai said: "Ai...Ai guarantees with his life that Jiangdong soldiers will definitely pursue him."

Liao Hua couldn't say more. Although his position was higher than Deng Ai's real position, even if Deng Ai was a fake General Yamen, Liao Hua still had to consider the feelings of the entire army.

If the Yizhou soldiers suddenly discovered that Deng Ai was not really General Yamen, wouldn't everything be chaotic?

Even if you can control a few veteran generals, it is inevitable that the army will be tempted to support you.

Liao Hua, thinking of the overall situation, followed Deng Ai's plan and set up an ambush along the way.

In the afternoon, Gan Ning led the remnants of his troops here, but did not find any ambushes on the roadside.

This was Deng Ai's intention not to alarm Gan Ning. Otherwise, with Gan Ning's temperament, he would have ignored his own injuries and fatigue and stayed to deal with Jiang Dongbing together.

Not long after, Jiangdong soldiers caught up with them, and the leader was Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao.

In this round of history, because Gan Ning did not join Huang Zu's army, Ling Cao also saved his life. However, he was old now and was not as brave as his son Ling Tong, so he decided to do everything in favor of Ling Tong.

Opportunities to establish meritorious deeds were left to him.

When the troops from Jiangdong arrived, Deng Ai gave an order, and thousands of crossbows were launched on both sides.

This group of Yizhou soldiers brought 100,000 repeating crossbows with them. Deng Ai divided them into five teams. After the first team finished shooting, they loaded the crossbow bolts themselves, and the second team continued shooting... When the fourth team finished shooting, the first team
