Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 871

"It is necessary to speed up the operation of the formation, and get rid of the Jiangdong army in the formation!"

Deng Ai knew that he didn't bring many soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to stop Sun Ce for too much time, so he waved the flag in his hand at full speed.

The Jingzhou Army in the Jiugong Bagua Formation moved quickly, beheading or capturing Jiangdong Army soldiers one by one.

An hour later, Sun Ce finally broke through the Jingzhou army who blocked him, but Deng Ai also dealt with the Jiangdong army in the formation, and the formation had dispersed.

"Retreat! Hurry up, Ming, Ming, Ming, Ming Jin retreats!"

Deng Ai accepted it as soon as it was good. Today, he killed Sun Ce's [-] soldiers and horses, which is already a big gain.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of the gong sounded, and the fighting Jingzhou army left the Jiangdong army in front of them and retreated.

"withdraw troops!"

Sun Ce's eyes almost burst into flames, and his [-] soldiers and horses disappeared just like that.

But today he has already lost, his morale has declined, and it is meaningless to continue fighting.

"Retreat, fight again tomorrow!"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and gave the order unwillingly.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

"Clang clang clang!"

The Jiangdong Army also rang the gong to withdraw troops, and retreated one by one.

After returning to the barracks, Sun Ce took off his helmet and threw it on the ground vigorously, with endless anger in his heart and nowhere to vent.

"Bo Fu, today's defeat is all because of me, please punish me!"

Zhou Yu took the initiative to plead guilty.

"I don't blame you. If you want to blame it, blame the general of the Jingzhou Army. His formation is really weird. I have never seen it before!"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said.

"Bo Fu, do you know who the general of the Jingzhou Army is?"

Zhou Yu asked.

"I was about to ask you too, but the young general in the Jingzhou Army is very ruthless. I have never heard that there is such a number one person in the Jingzhou Army!"

Sun Ce shook his head and replied.

"It seems that this is a talent cultivated by Liu Bei. He has extraordinary military strength at a young age and is so proficient in formations. It must be a talent cultivated by Liu Bei since he was a child!"

Zhou Yu asserted.

Sun Ce also thought Zhou Yu was right, but if they knew that Deng Ai had only studied with Zhuge Liang for a few years, how would they feel?
That night, Sun Ce sent someone to inquire about Deng Ai's background.

Tan Ma reported the news to Sun Ce: "King Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Army is named Deng Ai. He is from Yiyang, Jingzhou. He is Zhuge Liang's apprentice. This man is so capable, and he probably learned from Zhuge Liang!"

"It turned out to be Zhuge Liang's master apprentice, no wonder he is so powerful. Today's defeat is because I underestimated this person!"

Zhou Yu blamed himself.

"It doesn't matter whose apprentice he is, if he dares to meddle in Jiangdong's business, we will let him come and go!"

Sun Ce said domineeringly.

"Bo Fu, it's a pity that such a young talent cannot be used by us!"

Zhou Yu said regretfully.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu. There was something in Zhou Yu's words this time. Judging from what he meant, it seemed that he wanted to win over Deng Ai and let Deng Ai be used by their Jiangdong Army.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu clung to Sun Ce's ear and whispered, "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but now he is just like Zhao Kuo, who has not experienced a few actual battles. We can capture him alive and let him be used by us." !"

"Is this really possible?"

Sun Ce's eyes were full of doubts.

"Whether it will work or not, Bo Fu will know once he tries it!"

"Okay, according to your words, after capturing him alive, even if he can't be used by us, killing him will also break Liu Bei's arm!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu made a plan to capture Deng Ai alive, and the news of Deng Ai's defeat of Sun Ce also reached Liu Wei's ears through the hands of Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Bofu was defeated by an unknown young general. Jinzhou's Jinyiwei has already identified this person!"

In the darkroom of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Zhou Zihe, the commander of Jinyiwei, reported to Liu Wei the major events in the south.

"Young general! Who is it?"

Liu Wei became interested and asked.

"Your Majesty, this man's surname is Deng, his name is Ai, and his style name is Shizai. He is a disciple of Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Jingzhou!"

Zhou Zihe replied.

"Deng Ai?"

Liu Wei thought to himself, "What a familiar name!"

After thinking for a long time, Liu Wei finally remembered who Deng Ai was. Isn't it Deng Ai who smuggled into Yinping to take the Shu Han, and led to the subjugation of the Shu Han?

"It was him!"

"Your Majesty knows this person?"

Zhou Zihe asked suspiciously.

"do not know!"

Liu Wei shook his head, thinking that this Deng Ai should not be from the state of Wei, why is he a general of Jingzhou, isn't he alone?

"Where is this Deng Ai from?"

Liu Wei asked again.

"According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, this person is from Yiyang. He lost his father when he was young, and his family was poor. For unknown reasons, he was accepted by Zhuge Liang as an apprentice. A few days ago, Sun Ce defeated Sun Quan. Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for help. Liu Bei let this Deng Aitong soldiers to support Sun Quan."

"I see!"

Liu Wei nodded. It seems that Deng Ai and the Deng Ai who destroyed the Shu Han are the same person.

"Is there anything else important?"

Liu Wei asked.

"Yes, Liu Bei intercepted Liu Zhang's way to go south to Jiangdong. Liu Zhang was angry and sent veteran Zhang Ren to lead the army down the river. It seemed that he wanted to start a war with Liu Bei!"

Zhou Zihe replied again.

"This is not a big deal. Liu Zhang is no match for Liu Bei at all. If you send troops, you will be defeated!"

In Liu Wei's eyes, Liu Zhang is a waste, weak and incompetent, even his generals may not obey him, how could he do great things.

"No, Your Majesty, this is not a big deal, but do you know who gave Liu Zhang the idea to go south to fight for Jiangdong?"

Zhou Zihe whetted Liu Wei's appetite.

"Could it be Zhang Song, or Fazheng?"

Liu Wei thought about those capable advisers in Sichuan, and thought that Zhang Song and Fazheng were the most likely.

"Neither, it's Pang Tong!"

"Boom!"

This news was like a blow to Liu Wei's head. Liu Wei never thought that Pang Tong would defect to Liu Zhang, let alone that Liu Zhang would take Pang Tong in.

"traitor!"

After a while, Liu Wei spit out these two words.

"Your Majesty, do you want us to send killers..."

Zhou Zihe showed a sinister look, and asked Liu Wei if he wanted to send an assassin to assassinate Pang Tong.

"No, leave him to me. I will defeat him myself and let him know that betraying me is the stupidest decision he has ever made in his life!"

Everyone has revenge, and Liu Wei is no exception, especially when he had high hopes for Pang Tong, but Pang Tong betrayed him. He wanted to see Pang Tong's regretful expression. He wanted to march westward, fight all the way to Chengdu, and personally Kill this traitor.

"Here!"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go down first. Pang Shiyuan defected to Liu Zhang. This is not good news. I have to re-plan the plan!"

Pang Tong's defection to Liu Zhang disrupted Liu Wei's original plan, and he had to make a new plan.Whether to destroy Liu Bei first or Liu Zhang first.
