The last three kingdoms

Chapter 164 Mr. Ai

Liu Yin pondered for a while, and said, "General Deng, please tell me."

A famous general like Deng Ai is not comparable to Tian Zhang and his ilk. It is extremely difficult to persuade him to surrender. Fortunately, Liu Yin happens to hold the trump card of Tian Zhang in his hand, which can make Deng Ai shake. Deng Ai wanted to surrender, and Liu Yin couldn't help being secretly happy, but Deng Ai raised three conditions, which made Liu Yin hesitate. Could it be that Deng Ai also wanted to engage in Guan Yu Tushan's three appointments?

When Xuzhou was defeated, Guan Yu was besieged by Cao Cao at the beginning of Tushan. Cao Cao wanted to persuade Guan Yu to surrender, but Guan Yu put forward three conditions. In the romance, it is a bit exaggerated to ride alone for thousands of miles, but it is an indisputable fact that Cao Cao was defeated in the end.

At this moment, Deng Ai put forward three conditions, and Liu Yin secretly thought that he would not be as pitted as Guan Yu. It is a good thing to be able to persuade Deng Ai to surrender, but if the tiger returns to the mountain in the future, the gain will not be worth the loss.However, Deng Ai hadn't said the content of the conditions, so Liu Yin had to hear what kind of conditions he had.

Deng Ai had obviously considered it in his heart, and said calmly: "One, Ai is a Wei minister, even if he is defeated today, he will only surrender one general, not the Shu Han; two, after Ai returns to the general, he only wishes As the general's staff, he may be able to advise the general, but he will never serve as an official in the Han court; three, Zhong will kill my [-] troops, and I will not avenge this revenge. In the matter of revenge, you have to rely on the general. If one of these three is missing, you must not surrender. If the general does not follow, please allow Ai to die."

Just as Liu Yin was about to speak, he saw Fu Qian winking at him urgently, so Liu Yin cupped his hands and said to Deng Ai: "Deng Ai's request, if someone thinks about it, is it okay?"

Liu Yin's request was very reasonable, and Deng Ai also said calmly: "Please go ahead, General."

Liu Yin bowed his hands and retreated, and Fu Qian also followed him to the back. Liu Yin said, "What's your father-in-law's opinion on the three things Deng Ai mentioned?"

Fu Qian frowned and said: "The first thing Deng Ai mentioned is a big problem. If you capture Deng Ai, you must report to the court. Deng Ai only surrenders you but not the court. Wenxuan, you can think about how to report to your majesty and the Chinese and military officials of the court." Confession? Even if you agree here, the court may not be able to agree, and if Deng Ai refuses to surrender at that time, I'm afraid he will be executed according to the law."

Liu Yin pondered for a while. What Fu Qian said was not unreasonable. Wei and Shu had fought for many years, and many of them surrendered and defected. The condition is that you have to be willing to surrender. Deng Ai's first condition is to only surrender himself and not Shuhan. If this matter is really going to be brought up to the court, Deng Ai's head will definitely be hard to keep.

But Deng Ai was one of the best generals in the last years of the Three Kingdoms. If it was possible, Liu Yin really didn't want to give up so easily. It seems that if he wants to keep him safe, he has to think of other tricks.

"Father-in-law, Deng Ai is a rare and famous general. There is a shortage of such talents around my son-in-law. The only way out now is to let Deng Ai hide his name in the private army and hide from the court the fact that he was captured. thing."

Fu Qian was shocked and said: "Wenxuan, recruiting and accepting traitors, hiding and not reporting, is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If something is leaked, I may be killed."

Liu Yin chuckled lightly and said: "Father-in-law is worrying too much. The people around here are all trusted members of the family army. There is no danger of this news being leaked. The reason why my son-in-law values ​​Deng Ai is precisely because he is not The talents of the world, if my son-in-law wants to achieve great things, he still needs to rely on such talents."

There are indeed many accidental factors in this insidious victory. As Deng Ai said, Liu Yin may not have a chance to win if he fights in a different place. Compared with these famous generals who have experienced many battles and are well versed in strategy, Liu Yin is still immature. Very soon, winning the Yinping blocking battle is only the first step of Liu Yin's ambition. Next, there will be countless dangerous peaks waiting for him to climb. How to turn the tide and compete in the world, Liu Yin doesn't have much in mind. Now that he has the opportunity to bring Deng Ai under his command, with Deng Ai's help, Liu Yin's road ahead may become smoother.

As for concealing Deng Ai's affairs from the imperial court, Liu Yin is not worried. They are all his subordinates here, and he is not worried that the news will be leaked. There are very few people in the Shu Han who really know Deng Ai. There is no risk of leakage if outsiders come into contact.

Fu Qian was still a little worried, and said: "Deng Ai is not a thing in the pool after all. He is poor at this time, but he was forced to surrender. Who knows that if there is a chance in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have two hearts. I am afraid that the son-in-law's move is a good one. Raising tigers is a problem."

Liu Yin smiled and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry. Although Deng Ai is capable, he is still trapped in the shoal and the tiger falls in Pingyang at the moment. What's more, he hates Ji Zhonghui, but he can't do anything if he wants revenge. He can only rely on our strength. I and He, each takes what he needs, it is cooperation and mutual use, he just wants to have two hearts, I am afraid there will be no chance."

Now that Liu Yin has made up his mind, Fu Qian didn't say anything more, saying: "Since that's the case, Wenxuan, you can make up your own mind. As for my subordinates, I will restrain myself and will never reveal any news. "Now all around are Liu Yin's family soldiers. Fu Qian's soldiers are far away, and I still don't know what's going on here. However, Fu Qian still said that he will restrain his subordinates and not pass on news that is not good for Liu Yin. .

Liu Yin quickly came to Deng Ai and said calmly: "I agree to all three conditions proposed by General Deng."

Deng Ai couldn't help being slightly cowardly. He didn't expect Liu Yin to be so forthright, especially the first condition. In fact, even Deng Ai thought it was a difficult problem. Subduing Liu Yin instead of Shu Han is tantamount to giving Liu Yin Xu had a problem. If Liu Yin wanted to protect him, he had to conceal his identity from the court. At a small scale, it was recruiting and surrendering, but at a serious scale, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor, and Liu Yin was willing to bear it for him. Deng Ai was still a little moved by the consequences.

But Deng Ai also has no choice, Sima has a kindness to him, if there is no enmity with Zhong Hui, Deng Ai will definitely be loyal to Sima, but no matter what, he can't openly betray Wei Guo and enter He was an official of the Shu Han, so he could only choose to be Liu Yin's retainer and staff, sneaking behind the scenes, and living only for revenge.

"Thank you, General Liu, for not killing me. Ai Bi will repay the general's kindness." Deng Ai bowed his head.

Liu Yin clasped his hands together, and said with a slight smile, "General Deng, don't be too polite. From now on, I will still rely on the general. From now on, the general's name may no longer be mentioned. The general can be called the head of Anping Wangfu." , I will call you Mr. Ai from now on, how about it?"
