As long as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shen Dan, Meng Da, Liu Feng, Ma Di, Deng Tong, and Ding Li can be repelled, they will definitely be appreciated and reused by the court.

When the time comes, I will soar into the sky and let the whole world see my abilities.

Niu Jin is not in a bad mood like Shi Tao,

He warmly received Deng Ai, invited Deng Ai to take a seat, and offered him a cup of Qingcha, which is very popular in Jingzhou now.

"A certain surname is Niu, and his name is Jinzi Yuanfeng. He is a rough man. If he offends him, I hope Shi Zai Haihan will."

"Come, come, have a taste, this is a popular way of drinking tea in Xiangyang recently,

There is no need to add salt for cooking, and it can be drunk directly with boiling water. "

While talking, Niu Jin demonstrated to Deng Ai,

Deng Ai was flattered, but he was not in such a good mood as Niu Jin.

After taking the teacup, Deng Ai forcibly organized the language, trying not to stutter and speak:

"Now that the enemy is at hand, I wonder if the general has any plans to defend the city?"

Niu Jin raised his eyebrows, his face was a little embarrassed.

After a long time, he gently blew away the foam in the teacup, and said slowly:

"Keeping must be kept,

General Cao Zixiao and I were trapped in Jiangling City for a year, didn't we stop Zhou Lang's siege?

Boss Guan Zhang, Shen Dan's bravery, Ma Su and others are innocent people, how can they break my city?

Shi Zai and peace of mind is. "

So confident?

To be honest, Deng Ai wanted to run away.

The only barriers in Xinye are two small rivers.

Now is the dry season, and the Han army in the south wants to fight over easily.

If Niu Jin actively builds city defenses to deal with it, there is still a chance to defend it.

If Niu Jin was so arrogant and arrogant, Xinye might have fallen into the hands of the enemy before Cao Hong's reinforcements arrived.

"General, my subordinates think that Dangdangdang..."

When Deng Ai got nervous, he stuttered again.

With this stammer, he immediately saw the natural sneer on Niu Jin's face.

Except for my benefactor, I am afraid that everyone in this world will laugh at me...

"Shi Zai, don't worry," Niu Jin smiled lightly,

"I have arranged everything here,

As for why Zhong Da asked you to come here, he also took a fancy to your ability——

The county lieutenant is in charge of law and order in the city to arrest robbers, and you just want to beware of the spies of the bandit army and the illegal collusion with the bandits in the city. "

This is the job of the county lieutenant, Deng Ai can only nod silently.

"One more thing, I heard that Shi Zai was recommended by Ma Di,

I don't know what kind of person Shi Zai thinks Ma Youchang is? "

Chapter 284 The Cautious Ma Di

For a moment, Deng Ai almost thought that Niu Jin was also an admirer of Ma Su,

But after recovering, he realized that Niu Jin just wanted to test himself.

Deng Ai's official career has always been inseparable from the name Ma Di.

Legend has it that Ma Di appeared in Luoyang shortly after Cao Cao's death.

The name is mourning for Cao Cao, but in fact, he is looking around for a person named Deng Ai.

There are so many in the world, so many with the same name,

But Ma Di's subordinates pointedly indicated that Deng Ai was from Jingzhou, and he didn't know that he had gone to Yingchuan to be a small official in Runan at that time.

This is very spiritual, which is too coincidental.

Ma Su's finding someone hadn't been taken seriously before.

But in the first battle of Shiting, Ma Su became famous, and was hailed as the "God of War" by Sun Quan, calling him the second military strategist in the Han army after Liu Chan.

How did he discover Deng Ai's talent?

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Niu Jin watched Deng Ai quietly,

He pretended to be indifferent, but in fact he was very much looking forward to Deng Ai explaining this problem to himself.

Not only Niu Jin wanted to know, Cao Pi and Sima Yi also wanted to know.

Don't look at Sima Yi taking care of Deng Ai in every possible way, but before finding out this problem, he didn't dare to use Deng Ai too much.

Because Liu Chan's reputation is growing and he has participated in more and more battles, Wei Jun's intelligence system has also collected various information about Liu Chan through various channels.

From their point of view, Liu Chan is by no means a polite, cute and kind little fat man,

He is a vicious, scheming, villain who is good at discord, plotting, and setting up schemes. He is completely different from the Liu Bei's army he faced before.

In the battle with Soochow, he used traitors Lu Xun and Sun Ben to successfully injure Sun Quan's army, and almost captured Sun Quan alive under the city of Xiangyang.

In the battle with Cao Wei, he sowed the seed of Meng Da early and successfully captured Xu Huang and Xia Houshang.

Ma Di came to mourn at that time because he got Liu Chan's instructions. Maybe this Deng Ai was also arranged by Liu Chan.

Deng Ai is talented, but who dares to use it?

Although Sima Yi did not think that Deng Ai had any contact with Liu Chan through observation for a while,

But he also admitted that Liu Chan is indeed far ahead of the times in terms of employing people.

In case Deng Ai is a master without showing his face, or if he doesn't know anything at all, but just brags, Liu Chan will be in trouble if he wants to praise him.

This time Sima Yi sent him to the front line of Xinye just to test Deng Ai,

He told Niu Jin not only to be polite to Deng Ai, but also to be careful with Deng Ai.

If you find that Deng Ai has the intention of disobedience, just kill him.

After all, not everyone is as dedicated to the country as General Chang Diao Chang.

Deng Ai had collected a lot of information about Ma Di before,

Hearing Niu Jin's question, he quickly stopped his stuttering and said seriously:

"Humble thought, Ma Su is not as amazing as the legends say!"

"Oh?" Niu Jin said with interest,

"Appreciate further details."

Deng Ai moved his sitting posture a little bit, thought about his words, and said:

"Ma Su used to have no experience in leading an army.

Liu Adou used him as an envoy to visit the Central Plains, and later sent him to Soochow,

During the period, there were many battles. If this person is really capable of martial arts, with Liu Chan's knowledge of people, he should have been allowed to lead the army to attack Xinye. "

Deng Ai had read the battle report of Wu Jun's mobilization before, and he thought that Ma Di didn't see through Wei Jun's combat intention at the beginning, and Liu Chan didn't boast so wonderfully.

He just sent Ma Su to Soochow to persuade the Wu army to make a northern expedition,

Soochow dealt with it casually, just in time for the rebellion of Han Zong and others, and then there was a big scene where Ruxu Governor Luo led the army to attack.

This also explains why Sun Quan's reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, because Sun Quan himself did not expect a fight.

As for why Ma Di's reputation was blown up like this later, this is the joint promotion of Wei and Wu.

Of course, Sun Quan would say that he was far-sighted and saw through Wei Jun's intentions early on, so he let Ma Di and Luo Tong wait there.

And Cao Xiu didn't want to say that he was defeated by an unknown pawn,

That's why Ma Di's reputation was blown up, and now he has been hailed as the god of war.

It's ridiculous.

"Humble thought, the city wall of Xinye is strong, we stand guard and wait for help,

Fighting to the death with a powerful enemy, the bandit army may not have the ability to break through the city. "

Niu Jin has been in the army for many years, so he can naturally hear that Deng Ai's words are very reasonable.

At least from now on, Deng Shizai is of great help to our army.

Maybe Ma Di didn't expect that he would become such a big name at the time, and it was because of his carelessness in Luoyang that he exposed his great talent.

He thought about it, nodded and said:

"What Shi Zai said is very true. Don't worry, King Wei has already laid down a clever plan. As long as the bandit army comes, our army will surely win."

Although Deng Ai didn't know what the trick was, he could feel Niu Jin's sincerity.

He felt warm, nodded and said:

"What the general said is very good."

Originally, the conversation could end here, and Deng Ai could hurry back and take charge of his own law and order and arrest robbers.

But Deng Ai, who has little social experience, just gained Niu Jin's trust, subconsciously regarded Niu Jin as one of his own, and whispered:

"Is the king of Wei planning to plan a fire attack in the city, using Shi Guangyuan to lure Zhang into the city, and then"

Niu Jin's complexion changed drastically, he suddenly stood up, and said in surprise and fear:

"Who did you listen to?"

Deng Ai had stopped stuttering when talking to Niu Jin before, but now he was sternly reprimanded by Niu Jin, and he stuttered and couldn't speak a word.

"I, I, I am, I guessed it myself."

"You are a county lieutenant, don't dare to speculate about military affairs!"

Seeing that Niu Jin was offended, Deng Ai hurried away in fright.

Niu Jin still had a look of shock on his face, and it took him a long time to let out a sigh of relief.

"Is it that obvious?"

Fancheng, the camp of the Han army.

From the day he heard that Li Fu wrote a letter to persuade Cao Pi to replace Han, Guan Yu has been making intensive preparations.

It's not the first day for everyone to hang out, so they naturally understand what this means.

Cao Pi will definitely become emperor within the year,

At that time, Liu Bei's army must fight back.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the front line are ready to compete with the enemy at any time.

The pair of brothers with different surnames are both in their sixties. Although they are still physically strong, they have lost some of the physical strength they had when they were young.

After carefully inspecting Fancheng on horseback, Guan Yu was already feeling tired.

This made him feel a little desolate.

Really old.

"Hey, second brother, why are you sighing so much!" Zhang Fei, who was bearded and bearded, asked with a smile.

Guan Yu looked at this brother who had known him for more than 30 years, and said with a smile:

"I just thought, if it weren't for Ah Dou, I was cheated by Sun Quan's son last year, would there be no chance for you and my brother to meet again?"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, patted his chest and said:

"Let's not talk about the bravery of the second brother, who is invincible in the world. If Sun Quan's son dares to come, I will personally lead the army to rescue the second brother.

Even if you die, you have to die with your second brother! "
