I was surprised to hear the name Deng Ai. (Note: Deng Ai's first name was not available. When he was 12 years old, he changed his name to Deng Fan himself, and later changed it to Ai because of the repetitive name.

I will not consider these for the time being in the book, and I will be called Deng Ai directly)

After contacting his father who died early, I concluded that the eight- or nine-year-old guy in front of me was indeed Deng Zhengxi who destroyed Shu Han.

There is a large family in Yiyang, and Deng Ai's father is the commoner. But unfortunately, when Deng Ai was only three years old, his father passed away early, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother.

Later, due to being excluded by his tribe, Deng Ai and his son moved from Yiyang to Xinye to settle down. Relying on farming and textiles, Deng Ai's mother raised her son with great difficulty.

(In the original historical trajectory, when Cao Cao fought south in the 13th year of Jian'an, Deng Ai and his son were forcibly moved to Runan County and became civilians of the military farming department. It was then Deng Ai became a "cowherd kid".)

After learning about my identity, Deng Ai's mother respectfully and nervously revealed the experiences of her mother and son. This ordinary but extraordinary woman seemed to see my interest in her son, with a hint of cautious expectation in her tone.

Although he was unable to go to school because of his family's poverty, Deng Ai's mother did not give up her education for her son. Once she had some time, Deng's mother, who was born in a scholarly family, taught Deng Ai on her own. Fortunately, the little guy was smart and had made great progress in his studies.

But it is obvious that relying solely on what Deng’s mother learned, Deng Ai can no longer make any progress.

Deng’s mother, who was devoted to her son, knew very well that there was an opportunity in front of her. If she could get my attention, Deng Ai would definitely be able to receive a good education.

Just as I was talking to Deng’s mother, my more than a hundred personal guards arrived one after another. Deng Ai, who was headed and brainy but also had a sense of spiritual energy, stared at the hundreds of war horses and the knights on the horses, showing an extremely strong interest.

Long-term difficulties in life made Deng Ai completely lack the arrogance and despicable spirit of ordinary families, and while his character was more mature, he also retained the spiritual energy he deserved. And it can be seen that he seemed very interested in the army.

I asked Deng Ai a few academic questions. Although the little guy stuttered, he answered with ease.

"It's a craftable material." I nodded gently when touching the thorns under my chin.

When I expressed my willingness to introduce Deng Ai to the official school, Deng's mother agreed happily. She also asked her son to kneel down to thank me.

The little guy seemed to know that the opportunity was rare, and before I could stop him, he quickly knelt on the ground and knocked three times.

After the ceremony, Deng Ai unexpectedly stammered a request to me——He said that he admired me the most, "using troops as a god", hoping to be able to worship me as his army and learn the methods of marching and using troops.

After hearing this request, everyone present, including Deng's mother, was shocked.

If I really accept Deng Ai as my disciple, for him, no matter what he will learn, he will almost reach the top in terms of identity.

Although I don’t value family opinion, the rest of the people don’t think so. In the eyes of others, this request is simply rude.

Deng's mother's expression changed drastically, and she immediately knelt down, saying that Deng Ai was young and ignorant. She begged me to forgive her son's rude request, so don't blame her.

Deng Ai's expression was naive, and he seemed to know that he had "came a big disaster".

Even my personal guards looked at him and thought he was young and ignorant, but I could see something different from his slightly immature eyes———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I'm afraid he did it with his will. This kid probably saw my appreciation for him and hoped that if he succeeded, he could change the fate of his mother and son. If he failed, I would probably not care about anything with him, a child.

This kid, who is only eight years old, has such a scheming. It is indeed amazing. Although poor children are early to become a family. They should be precocious, but they can do this. It is definitely rare in the world.

Under my burning eyes, Deng Ai really showed a hint of unnatural expression. After all, he was just a child, and no matter how precocious he was, he could not compare with normal adults psychologically.

In fact, I am not disgusted with Deng Ai's cleverness. From another perspective, it can also be regarded as his extraordinaryness. Of course, it is necessary to provide appropriate guidance in the future.

The energy locked Deng Ai tightly, and I stared at him expressionlessly. Under the invisible pressure, the little guy's body trembled slightly, revealing a look of fear.

Just when everyone thought I was about to get angry, I suddenly smiled and unexpectedly agreed to Deng Aidi's request.

State Council Office, Office of the Council

Pang Tong held his beard and looked at Little Deng Ai up and down, and then suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Deng...Deng...Deng Ai!" Although there were only three or five people in the hall, when I first came to such an occasion, the little guy was still very reserved and his words became more and more stuttering.

"Haha..." After hearing Deng Ai's reply, Pang Tong couldn't help laughing.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and Deng Ai's little face turned red. He quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

"Yeah?" Pang Tong, who was originally intended to tease, couldn't help but sigh lightly when he saw Deng Ai's behavior, then turned to me and smiled, "I didn't expect that the general would actually patrol a disciple during this inspection."

"Shi Yuan, what do you think of him?" I also saw Deng Ai's performance and asked with a smile.

"At first glance, I just don't know how much ink there is in my heart?" Pang Tong deliberately glanced at Deng Ai, "Do you dare to let me take the exam?"

"You...you...take the exam!" After all, he was just a child. Deng Ai was immediately excited by Pang Tong and replied with some angrily.

Pang Tong smiled slightly, and from a simple question, the difficulty gradually increased. Although Deng Ai still stuttered, most of them could still answer it. It can be seen that his mother's teaching was quite good.

"Homaha!" When Deng Ai failed to answer three consecutive questions, Pang Tong stopped the teaching exam, but he still gave some kind of affirmation.

Deng Ai, who obviously tasted the frustration from Pang Tong, drooped his face and stopped saying a word.

"General. He has not yet made a solid foundation. He will send him to Lumen to study for a few years before letting him follow you!" Pang Tong said with a smile.

As a native of Jingzhou, Deng Ai is young, but he also knows the most famous Lumen Academy in Jingzhou. After listening to Pang Tong's dialect, the little guy's eyes uncontrollably showed excitement.

.

Looking at Deng Ai being taken away from the ground, Pang Tong smiled happily: "This child is good, and his knowledge is better than my nephew. It's rare! How does the general like him?"

Pang Tong is talking about Pang Jin, the eldest son of Pangshan Minister, who is just ten years old this year and is quite smart. With the Pang family's profound family education, Deng Aidi's knowledge can be even more than Pang Jin, who is two years older. This is indeed amazing.

"According to it!" I smiled, and naturally I couldn't tell Pang Tong that this little guy was Deng Zhengxi, who had originally destroyed Shu Han in history.

If you have such a talented disciple, you must teach him well and regard it as a reserve of talents for Adou in the future.

.

After settling down on Deng’s mother in Xiangyang, Deng Ai was sent to Lumen Academy by Pang Tong’s “human favors”. Pang Degong was best at teaching according to people and further laying the foundation in Lumen should be quite beneficial to Deng Ai’s growth.

………………………………………………………..

Lu Xun made great progress in the battle of Jiaozhou in southern China.

Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, was an old acquaintance with his elder brother. Lu Xun seized this point and asked his elder brother to compile a letter, persuading Wu Ju to surrender.

After sending the letter of surrender to Cangwu, Lu Xun immediately ordered a detailed rumor spread in Jiaozhou. He directly hid out the news of surrender, and said that Wu Juzheng was actively in contact with his elder brother and was preparing to enlist the county to surrender.

In fact, Shi Xie was not unaware of the old friendship between Wu Ju and his elder brother, but for the need to stabilize the people and the army, he had never done anything to Wu Ju. Wu Ju also tried his best to show Shi Xie's loyalty. In this way, both sides tried their best to maintain the stability of the situation.

But when rumors were flying all over the sky, this already unsolid balance was immediately broken. Shi Xie's second son Shi Hui first expressed his distrust of Wu Ju, requesting his father to dismiss Wu Ju County Magistrate and requested himself to lead his army to get people.

Shi Xie was able to maintain a calm attitude at first, but he couldn't help but catch his sons, and finally decided to attack Wu Ju to eliminate hidden dangers.

But Shi Xie did not want to use force within his own family to cause unnecessary consumption under the advancing of foreign enemies, so he ordered people to summon Wu Ju to Panyu, where the prefecture was located, with an intention to take him down in one fell swoop.

But Shi Xie's envoy had not arrived in Cangwu yet. Rumors arose again--the Taoist priest Xie was determined to kill Wu Ju to eliminate future troubles.

This rumor is most widely circulated in Cangwu County. Just as Wu Ju was confused, the messenger of Shi Xiedi arrived and ordered him to go to Panyu to discuss matters.

Under such circumstances, how Wu Ju rushed there was even more confidant guessing Shi Xie's intention.

In order to make a little test, Wu Ju pretended to refuse, but unexpectedly the messenger was tough. From this, Wu Ju also knew that the rumors were very likely to be true.

With no choice, Wu Juyi did not do anything, but kept imprisoning the envoy and actively sent someone to contact Lu Xun, requesting to surrender to his elder brother.

Lu Xun immediately replied, saying that he would accept Wu Ju and asked him to take the army southward.

On the other hand, Shi Xie had not seen the messenger return for a long time, and knew that something had changed. Li Ming Zheng led his army to fight against Lu Xun's eldest son Shi Ting in the north of Cangwu County and returned to the army to capture Wu Ju. He ordered his second son Shi Hui to lead 5,000 troops left by Panyu to attack Cangwu.

How can these actions be hidden from Lu Xun?

After Lu Xun saw through the golden cicada's plan to escape the shells specially set up by Shi Tang, he used the plan to lead a group of troops to pretend to be tricked to confuse the other party. At the same time, he also asked Quan Cong to lead thousands of elite troops under the guidance of his guide to take a small path and rush to Cangwu.

Just when Shizhen besieged Guangxin City, the capital of Cangwu County, Quan Cong's magical weapons suddenly surrendered and launched an attack from behind. After a fierce battle, they defeated the Jiaozhou army.

After being saved, Wu Ju immediately informed the whole county and announced his surrender to his elder brother.

After being repelled, after encountering his younger brother Shi Hui, he intended to counterattack Cangwu, but he was helpless to find that Lu Xun's main force had arrived in Guangxin, so he had to give up for the time being.
