(ps: Before starting, first of all, I would like to thank the book friend Cement Forest ACE for the reward, and the book friend Jing Tianchang for the 10-point evaluation vote. Thank you for your support, thank you.)
For Yuan Shang, the name Deng Ai undoubtedly has a strong impact and criticism. Of course, it is more attractive.

Historically, the two most important protagonists in the late battles between Shu Han and Cao Wei were undoubtedly Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.

Both of these two people have extremely high military literacy. Whether it is using troops, tactics or schemes, they can be said to be full of strange tricks, changeable, deeply in line with the current situation, and beyond the reach of others.

As for the battle of smuggling to Yinping, Deng Ai was able to do what ordinary people could not do. The capture of Sichuan and the destruction of the Shu Han made a miraculous achievement.

But now, this future unworldly famous general just happened to be lying in his mother's arms, half-closed his eyes and fell asleep naively, and the cute demeanor of his childhood was displayed in front of Yuan Shang's eyes at a glance.

Looking at the young Deng Ai, Yuan Shang's eyes lit up unconsciously.

Compared with well-known figures in the same period as Deng Ai, including Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui, etc., Yuan Shang felt that Deng Ai was the real outstanding talent!
Because, compared with Jiang Wei, who worshiped Zhuge Liang as his teacher, and Zhong Hui, who came from a famous family, although Deng Ai was born in a rich family in Xinye, he lost his father in his early years and lived a hard life. Niu baby, his future achievements are almost entirely due to his own efforts and innate sensitivity to war.

It can be said that such a general is a godsend!
He was born for the battlefield. He does not need excessive polishing or unnecessary pressure from the outside world. As long as the environment is right, the atmosphere is right, and he grows with it, his future achievements will naturally be revealed. Affected his way of thinking and growth process in the future.

Only a fool will let go of the meat that reaches the mouth!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang patted Deng Xianzai on the shoulder and asked, "Deng Chang, I remember you told me that you are from Jiyang, Yiyang, that is, from Xinye County, Jingzhou, right?"

County Magistrate Deng didn't expect Yuan Shang to talk to him about this, blinked his eyes, nodded and said: "That's right, I'm Deng Chang, the character is Tongzhi, Yiyang Jiyang is also a person."

"Then in Xinye, what kind of household is your Deng family?" Yuan Shang blinked and continued to ask.

Deng Xianzai was at a loss, but had to answer, and said: "To tell you the truth, my Deng family is quite large in Xinye City. It is considered a big family. There are more than 370 households in the branch and collateral line. Among them, there are also many county guards and school officials, the momentum is not small, the subordinates are dull, and they have not inherited the fame and virtue of their ancestors. During his term of office, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, shooting, hunting, plowing and studying, never thought about it. Never thought about it.”

Speaking of this, I saw Deng Chang's mouth open, tears began to roll in his eyes again, and said: "I never thought that before the end of the year, I would let you rob me, am I wronged! "

"Okay." Yuan Shang waved his hand as if chasing flies, and said, "Don't catch a fart and chew it! You don't look like a man at all."

The magistrate of Deng County gave Yuan Shang a resentful look, it was not you who was robbed in his heart, so it is easy for you to say this
According to Deng Xianzai's description, Yuan Shang can basically be sure that the son of Deng Xianzai is the legendary unworldly famous general.

What does it mean that there is no place to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?That's it, caught a foolish county magistrate, and accidentally got his smart son!

Things in the world are really wonderful, and no one can tell what will happen in the next second.

But what surprised Yuan Shang even more. I remember that when later generations read online, it was recorded in the information that although Deng Ai was a rare and good general, it was a pity that he stuttered and couldn't speak well.

But today when I saw his own father again, he was babbling and talking endlessly, running the train with his mouth full, and grinning when he opened his mouth.

It is said that a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. A piece of rat shit like Deng Xianzai actually gave birth to a jade unicorn!

Human genetics is really a broad and profound wonderful subject!

However, I remember that the records about Deng Ai once said that Deng Ai lost his father when he was young and suffered from childhood. From this point of view, the life span of this Deng county magistrate may not be more than a few years.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but secretly said in his heart that it's a pity that there will be very few top-quality idiots like Deng Xianzai in his lifetime.

After thinking about a lot of things, but in fact, it was only a matter of a moment. Yuan Shang sighed, patted the shoulder of the county magistrate Deng, and said with emotion: "Old Deng."

Deng Xianzai shuddered all over his body and said tremblingly: "General, don't call me that, I... I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "I won't eat you, go, follow me outside the tent, I want to tell you something intimate."

Deng Xianzai: "."

************************************
When he came outside the tent, Yuan Shang looked up at the setting sun in the distance.

Yuan Shang looked at the sunset with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked: "Master Deng, the two of us are neither relatives nor relatives. We didn't know each other before I came to Nandun County. It stands to reason that when I captured Nandun County, I should have captured you." You were killed, but I kept your life, do you know why?"

Deng Xianzai blinked his eyes and looked at Yuan Shang blankly for a while, but he rarely shook his head without pretending to be smart.

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's because I think you are very close."

The magistrate of Deng county broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words, and would kill me every now and then.

"Because of the great love of the general, the county is in great fear." Deng Xianzai had nothing to say, so he could only make false claims.

Yuan Shang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Mr. Deng, do you know who I am?"

Magistrate Deng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Aren't you a general under Liu Yuzhou's account?"

"Of course not! That's just to fool you."

Yuan Shang looked at him with a smile on his face: "Actually, my real surname is Yuan, and my single name is Shang, and my surname is Xianfu. I am from Jizhou, Hebei."

Deng Xianzai didn't realize it for a while, and complimented him like a horse: "The general has a good surname, a good name, a good character, and a good history. Huh?"

Suddenly, Deng Xianzai seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head to Yuan Shang in surprise: "My surname is Yuan? Jizhou, Hebei? Then you are with the general Yuan Shao"

"Well, he is my father."

Deng Xianzai staggered and fell to the ground, trembling all over, sweating coldly.

The son of the hero of the Northland?How can this be?Why is the young master of Jizhou not in Hebei, but quietly came to Yuzhou, which is far away?
The most terrible thing is that this person actually appeared in front of him now!
Deng Xianzai felt that Yuan Shang didn't need to tell lies. After all, the son of the Yuan family had a high status, but in this land of the Central Plains, he was a reminder. Who would pretend to be Yuan Shao's son on Cao Sikong's territory? Doesn't it show that you have lived too long?
Yuan Shang squatted down, patted Deng Xianzai on the shoulder and said: "I don't think I need to tell you more about the relationship between our Hebei Yuan family and Cao Cao? Now in this Yuzhou, besides my own identity, I have It is absolutely forbidden for outsiders to know? Old Deng, do you understand what I mean?"

Deng Xianzai's cold sweat immediately drenched his younger generation, and murmured: "Young master, what do you mean?"

Yuan Shang smiled harmlessly, with a red mouth and white teeth: "Now that I have told you my identity, there are only two roads before you. One is that you must die."

Deng Xianzai's face changed: "My lord, didn't you just say you won't kill me? Why did you change your mind again!"

Yuan Shang ignored him, and continued: "Second, you will lead your wife and son back to Hebei with me, and you will be loyal to my Yuan family from now on. I guarantee that when you arrive in Hebei, you will no longer be a mere nameless The county magistrate, but the highly valued staff of my fourth generation and the third prince, including your son, will have a smooth official career and a bright future in the future. It's easy enough to choose one of the two, right? Choose!"

Yuan Shang revealed his identity to Deng Xianzai, no doubt he was determined to tie this fool to his boat.

The magistrate of Deng County was surprised for a long time, and finally said in a dull voice: "Young master is so interested in me, it really makes me frightened, how can I refuse? It's just that I don't understand something, I hope you will tell me."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

The magistrate of Deng county let out a faint cry: "What's wrong with me? I'm called back to Hebei because you provoked the young master to resort to such means?"

Yuan Shang chuckled, waved his hands and said, "You bastard, what I want is your son. Kekekeke, what I mean is yes, didn't I just say that, because I have a better affinity with you."

Deng Xianzai's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said in surprise, "It's that simple?"

Yuan Shang nodded solemnly and said, "It's that simple!"

Deng Xianzai hesitated for a while, and then said: "My lord, I have another question to ask you?"

"Why do you have so many questions? Tell me."

"Everyone knows that Cao Sikong and General Yuan are now in a life-and-death struggle. The young master is the son of General Yuan's daughter. Why do you want to take risks alone? Come to this land of Yuzhou?"

This question has puzzled him since the moment Yuan Shang reported his identity to Deng Xianzai.

Yuan Shang couldn't help restraining his smile when he heard the words, and said seriously: "Master Deng, what do you think is the most important thing in life?"

The magistrate of Deng County was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and asked in doubt: "Fame and wealth, to enjoy peace?"

Yuan Shang shook his head.

"Leave a name in history, and it will last for thousands of years?"

"wrong."

"That is."

Yuan Shang rarely showed a serious look, and said: "It is responsibility! It is the responsibility to parents, to children, to brothers, to friends, to those who are in high positions, and to the advisers of their opponents, the responsibility of generals, The responsibility of governing the people! Of course, I only have the responsibility for what I said later, and I won’t bear so many responsibilities, but I came to Yuzhou to help my father Yuan Shao disrupt the enemy’s rear and cover his retreat. This is what a son does. Responsibilities, power, wealth, and fame are all imaginary things. To me, they are just fleeting, and there is no need to care about them. Only friendship can last forever in the world. What I mean, you can clear?"

The magistrate of Deng county stared at Yuan Shang for a long time when he heard the words, then suddenly his face straightened, and said: "Young master is young, but what he said is so true, it is not like those who talk about the mission of restoring the country all day long. My own responsibility is actually a butcher who conquers the world for his own selfish desires, a dull man in the lower district, who has such a chance to follow the son, how dare he not follow."

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, patted Deng Xianzai on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I said some superfluous things, so don't take it to your heart, just be a master bookkeeper under my account for now, and tomorrow I will send someone to replace it." You pack your things, you and your wife, especially your son, follow me to Runan."

Deng Xianzai heard the words and said: "Dare not to obey orders."

After finishing speaking, Deng Xianzai also looked up at the sunset in the distance, and sighed with emotion: "Young master is really very human. He has such courage at a young age! It is really enviable. Back then, I When I was young, if I had the magnanimity and pursuit like a son, I wouldn't just end up in the position of district magistrate. Well, thinking about that time, I really can't bear to think about it. In that year, I was also as old as a son. In that year, I am only "

Yuan Shang smiled and pushed Deng Xianzai staggeringly, saying: "Come on! That's all for today's talk, rest early, and tomorrow morning, go to Runan with the army."

The magistrate of Deng County immediately became anxious when he heard the words: "Hey! Hey! Young master, I haven't finished my speech yet. I usually don't tell people what's on my mind! This is on the verge of my mouth, don't you let me swallow it? That year , I am also hey, son! Don't go, don't go!"
