"Everyone get off the carriage!" The person in charge with a group of private soldiers hadn't spoken yet, when a man who looked like a butler at the side saw Liu Mang and others stop the carriage and gave Liu Mang and others a high-spirited order.
"I don't know what happened to this little brother! Why do I have to wait for the carriage to stop?!" Jia Xu looked at the private soldier leader in front of him with a smile. If you laughed, it meant that the poisonous snake started to spit out messages, which meant that someone was going to be unlucky. Jia Xu ignored the butler next to him and asked the private soldier leader.
"We suspect that there are fugitives in your carriage, so we all get off the carriage for inspection!" The leader of the private soldiers didn't want to talk at first, and it was enough to have the butler, but since Jia Xu asked, he naturally turned to Jia Xu coldly. Then said.
"So that's the case!" Jia Xu nodded, and said very calmly, "There are fugitives, we Jingzhou people are naturally obliged to help my little brother catch the fugitives, everyone get ready to get off the carriage!"
"Yes!" Several subordinates around Jia Xu nodded. Just now, Jia Xu went directly past him to talk to the leader of the private soldiers, which made the butler very upset, but the butler was still very satisfied after hearing Jia Xu's reply. Let's take these people down with a wave of his hand. He is indeed here to hunt people down, but he is not a fugitive, and they are not the defenders of Xiangyang City, but he has the courage to walk freely in Xiangyang City. Because of the master behind him. "Why don't you get off the carriage?! Do you want us to do it!" The butler shouted impressively.
"Oh, I almost forgot, little brother. You want to hunt down fugitives. I don't know if there is a search warrant from the government!" Jia Xu asked, spreading his hands.
"Search warrant?!" The butler was stunned. The search warrant is for the government to hunt down fugitives. This thing is also owned by everyone in the government, and they are not the defenders of this Xiangyang. They are just private soldiers of the gentry, where there is such a thing, he will say that there is no such thing.
The leader of the private soldiers on the side stepped forward and stopped the butler, "There is a search warrant!"
"Huh?!" The butler looked at the leader of the private soldiers suspiciously. Although he was puzzled, he was also a human being mixed in the crowd, so he naturally nodded.
"There is a search warrant, please get out of the carriage and let us check it!"
"Huh?!" Jia Xu couldn't help but take another look at the leader of the private soldiers. This person is really a wonderful person. Originally, Jia Xu thought that this person should say that he didn't have a search warrant. Then Jia Xu can directly reprimand this person, there is no search warrant, what qualifications does the search have, and let this person lose face, but now this person directly says yes, and Liu Mang and the others had to stop when he said that he wanted to shoot arrows. This is also the driver of the carriage. This person is really a talent. "The search warrant is an important thing, so how can I show you something like that!" the housekeeper pinched his waist and shouted directly at Jia Xu's nose.
"Hehe, there is no search warrant, so I'm sorry I can't get off the carriage and let my brother search!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
Seeing the butler speak first, the leader of the private soldiers frowned. This person was simply a disservice.
"Are you looking for death!" the housekeeper almost pointed at Jia Xu's nose and cursed.
"You can try!" Jia Xu also narrowed her eyes. Two of the four third-rate military generals beside him were protecting the three carriages, and the other two stood beside Jia Xu, saying that they were very hurt, exuding killing intent.
This kind of killing intent made the leader of the private soldier wary, such a killing intent. Only those who have been on the battlefield will have it, and it is the kind of person who has killed many people. The people in this carriage are not simple, but the leader of the private soldiers has no choice. He captured people this time. It's so important.
"Hey, you still want to resist! You just don't know how to flatter!" The butler was very frightened. With a wave of his hand, those private soldiers immediately surrounded Jia Xu and others, and all the swords in their hands were unsheathed. up. The butler had a smug smile on his face, as long as he gave an order to take down all these people. Then he can do whatever he wants. There were thirty people on their side, while there were only four guards on the opposite side. The butler thinks the ticket is in hand.
But the leader of the private soldiers didn't think so, he waved his hand, "Back off?!" He made the men who were about to step back back again!
"Deng Tian? You?!" The butler pointed at the private soldier leader and shouted suspiciously.
It turned out that his name was Deng Tian, Jia Xu looked at the private soldier leader and said in his heart.
"Shut up! I have the final say here!" The leader of the private soldiers scolded the butler.
"You, Deng Tian, don't be ashamed!" The steward shouted at the leader of the private soldier, his face was flushed, in such a large audience, a leader of the private soldier dared to say such words to himself, it was simply a slap in the face .
"Butler Huang, at home, I, Deng Tian, listen to you, but outside, you have to listen to me!" Deng Tian also looked at the butler and said, without giving in at all. This Deng Tian is a martial artist after all, and this butler But he is a frail person, so naturally he couldn't look at Deng Tian, his eyes flickered and he retreated.
"Okay, okay, okay! Deng Tian, remember, remember, you prodigal, remember, you are not young master, you have died many times before, and you That's it!" The butler glared at Deng Tian.
"Young Master's great kindness, I, Deng Tian, have no way of repaying it, so I have to repay it with my whole body, but what does the housekeeper have to do with you!" Deng Tian also looked at the housekeeper very straightforwardly and said.
He, Deng Tian, is from the Deng family in Nanyang. Speaking of the Deng family, it used to be a big family in Jingzhou. The first member of the Deng family was Wang Rui, the former governor of Jingzhou. Just like the current Cai family, and he, Deng Tian, was the heir of the Deng family. At that time, he was also a son of an aristocratic family. He was very prosperous for a while, but the good times didn't last long. After Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian. Jingzhou Liu Biao took over Jingzhou, and the Deng family was purged by Liu Biao because of Wang Rui. The Deng family in Nanyang fell into ruin all of a sudden, but even so, the Deng family was able to maintain the glory of the aristocratic family. After all, it is a noble family, so it is a big deal to hide, but this Deng family was played to death by Liu Biao again.
To be precise, it was played to death by the Cai family. Although the Deng family fell behind as a detective, the dead camel is bigger than a horse. The Cai family still has savings for so many years, and it is the Cai family who have taken a fancy to these savings. , the Cai family was greedy for money. The Deng family is making a show of force again, so naturally they are going to make trouble. Of course, if the Cai family has the support of Liu Biao, they will be able to take down the Deng family. So what Cai Mao wants is to borrow a knife to kill someone.
The sword at that time was Zhang Ji who had just lost in the battle of Zhili. Zhang Ji led a large group of Xiliang soldiers and withdrew from Zhili. He could not beat Li Jue and Guo Si, so he had to leave Zhili Li, headed for Jingzhou. His first stop was Nanyang.
The members of the Cai family didn't do anything, but when the Nanyang Zhengjun was preparing for war, they resisted Zhang Ji's attack for several ten days in the Deng family. Zhang Ji suffered heavy losses, and when Zhang Ji was about to leave the army to find another place to rob.
The people of the Cai family opened the gate of Wancheng in Nanyang, and it was a lot of fun. Zhang Ji's army was blocked by the Deng family for so long and suffered so much loss. You think that the gate of Wancheng was opened, Zhang Ji can bear it. You have to live!
The army directly invaded Wancheng, and the end of the Deng family can be easily imagined. The entire Deng family has more than 300 people, and they were killed by Hu Che'er, a Hu general under Zhang Ji's command. got a clean. And Deng Tian can be said to be the last member of the Deng family. He was studying in Jingzhou at that time. Only then did they escape such a catastrophe, but the entire Deng family in Nanyang was finished. The tribe is dead. Those properties in Jingzhou were also swallowed up by others. The Deng family finally gave a big credit to the Cai family, that is, when the Deng family was dying, they even brought Zhang Ji together to meet Lord Yan.
This is not the end, the gate is opened from the inside, and Nanyang is also occupied, so this responsibility comes, who opened the gate of Nanyang! If you think about it with your ass, you know it can't be done by the Deng family, but who made your Deng family finish? The wall is overthrown by everyone, and all the blame is thrown on the head of the Deng family.
And Deng Tian, the only descendant of the Deng family, naturally became a sinner. He was taken down in Jingzhou. Seeing Deng Tian was killed, the Deng family was completely finished. Detoured Deng Tian's life. Liu Biao also knew that this was the plan of the Cai family, but he had coveted the Deng family for a long time. Liu Biao took 60% of the Deng family he swallowed to prepare the army. It can be said that Jiangxia's Jingzhou army is now More than half of the materials belonged to the original Deng family.
Liu Biao needed the Huang family to check and balance the Cai family, so he naturally gave Huang Zu face, so Deng Tian survived.
But Deng Tian's survival is not without conditions, that is, he can enter the Huang family and become such a servant, although it sounds nice to be the leader of the private soldiers, but in fact he is just a domestic servant. Everything the Deng family did has become someone else's wedding dress.
"The man who broke the family?!" Deng Tian had a wry smile on his lips. Only he knew the pain in his heart. You can feel the feeling of leaving you alone after all the family members died! Although Deng Tian has now re-established a family, married a wife, and gave birth to a son, but this kind of pain will never be forgotten by Deng Tian for the rest of his life.
In the carriage, Liu Mang was also listening to Kuai Ran talking about Deng Tian's deeds. It was a relationship, but after the Deng family was destroyed, this Deng Tian disappeared, and Kuai Ran never saw him again, but unexpectedly saw him this time among the private soldiers of the Huang family.
"Nanyang Deng family?!" Liu Mang frowned, he really hadn't considered this Nanyang gentry.
"It can also be said to be the Deng family in Xinye, or even the Deng family in the Yangtze River!" Kuai Ran was deeply moved. Back then, the Deng family's family business spread all over the banks of the Yangtze River. , all were swallowed up.
"Fortunately, I heard that people like Deng Tian married a commoner's wife, which is considered affectionate, and gave birth to a fat boy named Fan. It's a blessing out of misfortune for their Deng family to have successors!" Kuai Ran shook his head and sighed.
"Deng Fan?!" Liu Mang listened to Kuai Ran's words, and he didn't want to say anything more. After all, this world is a world where people cannibalize. The promotion of the new gentry. This is the way the world is, the generations of life are endless, and Jiang Yue is only similar year after year.
"Deng Fan. Deng Fan!" Liu Mang's reader suddenly froze for a moment while reading, and Meng De grabbed Kuai Ran. Liu Mang is no longer the weak-handed scholar he was before, the strength in Liu Mang's hands is really not small now, Kuai Ran felt pain in his hands immediately after being grabbed like this.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang!" Kuai Ran's slender arms and legs could possibly withstand Liu Mang's pinch.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Liu Mang finally realized that he was pinching Kuai Ran, and hurriedly let go of his hand, but he still couldn't hide the excitement in Liu Mang's tone, "Brother Kuai, brother Kuai. Did Deng Fan's name come from the text? For the world model, the word model in the code of conduct?!" Liu Mang looked at Kuai Ran excitedly and said.
"Huh?!" Kuai Ran looked at Liu Mang suspiciously, his arm was already red from Liu Mang's pinch, if other people Kuai Ran would have lost his temper, but for a lifesaver like Liu Mang, Kuai Ran would naturally be helpless. The words can be said, "Could it be that Brother Wang knows Brother Deng Tian?!"
Kuai Ran was puzzled, because of the allusion to Deng Fan's name, Kuai Ran only found out about it after inquiring. It turned out that Deng Tian had been to Yingchuan when he was studying with him. In Yingchuan, I read two sentences in the inscription of the late Taiqiu Chang Chen Shi, "Writing is the model of the world, and behavior is the rule", and I admire it with pleasure. This made his son named Deng Fan.
"That's right, that's right, haha, haha! Deng Fan, Deng Fan, Deng Ai, Deng Ai!" Liu Mang seemed to be crazy, so Kuai Ran could not help but touch Liu Mang's forehead to see if it was right. Really crazy. Who is this Deng Ai!
"Haha, I found the treasure, I found the treasure!" Liu Mang laughed frantically.
"Brother Kuai. Is Brother Kuai still a teacher?!" Liu Mang asked Kuai Ran.
"Huh? Brother Wang, why do you ask such a question?!" What does it mean to be a teacher, and being a teacher is equivalent to being able to take charge of one's own. It is time to accept apprentices, Kuai Ran used to be a famous teacher. It can even be said that he and Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang are brothers in the same school, but Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others are already famous all over the world, but he is not as good as a horse, which makes Kuai Ran not happy. It is embarrassing to say that he and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others are brothers of the same school.
However, although he is not as good as these people, Kuai Ran has already graduated from the school. Although he is not talented in the world, it is still possible to govern one side, so Kuai Ran nodded and said, "I have already graduated from the teacher!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Brother Kuai, I want to ask you something!" Liu Mang said to Kuai Ran.
"Please?!" Kuai Ran was even more puzzled, what did Liu Mang want, but Kuai Ran would not refuse after Liu Mang said so. After all, Liu Mang saved his life, and these small things are even more obligatory. .
"Brother Wang, just speak, even if Brother Wang wants to kill Ran, Kuai Ran has nothing to say!" Kuai Ran said very Mao Mai.
Liu Mang rolled his eyes, wanting your life? If Liu Mang kills Kuai Ran, this Kuai Yue won't play with his life, then Liu Mang will still play fart.
"I don't need Brother Kuai's life. I just want Brother Kuairan to help me take one person as a disciple. I can't take one as a disciple now!" Liu Mang said to Kuairan. Master, although his identity is noble, he cannot be revealed directly, because once he is exposed, all his plans will be disrupted, and this Deng Fan is also Deng Ai, but Liu Wei doesn't want to miss it, so Liu Wei said The only way is to guide Kuai Ran first.
"Take one person as an apprentice?!" Kuai Ran looked at Liu Mang and said with a smile, "I don't know which child is so lucky to be able to worship Brother Wang as a teacher!" Kuai Ran automatically ignored Liu Mang's words Because of his status, he was unable to accept apprentices, so he thought that Liu Mang asked himself to be a mentor because he had not yet become a teacher in Lumen Academy.
"It's Deng Tian's son, Deng Fan!" Liu Mang said firmly to Kuai Ran.
"Ah?!" Kuai Ran was really stunned this time. Kuai Ran knew what kind of person this Deng Tian was. His identity is nothing more than a servant of the Huang family, but now Liu Mang actually wants to accept Deng Fan, the son of Deng Tian, as his apprentice. What is the situation? They have never met.
"Brother Kuai Ran is in trouble?!" Liu Mang looked at Kui Ran and was stunned, thinking that it was because of Kuai Ran's trouble, Liu Mang couldn't help frowning, should he expose his identity to accept such a kid.
"No, no. No! No embarrassment, no embarrassment!" Kuai Ran hurriedly shook his head and said, although Kuai Ran's status is very noble. He is the successor of the Kuai family in Jingzhou and the only son of the Kuai family. It can be said that in this Jingzhou, he is under one person and above tens of thousands. It is very honorable to be able to worship under Kuai Ran's sect, but Kuai Ran is not interested in this. Liu Mang is his savior, and he is also beautiful as an adult, so he and Yan Ran will finally get married. yes.
"Does such a Deng Fan need Brother Wang to be like this?!" Kuai Ran was puzzled by this, knowing that Liu Mang had never even met Deng Fan. Why did he want his subordinate Deng Fan to be his apprentice in such a hurry, and even used the word begging.
"Fate, fate, this is predestined!" Liu Mang could only use this to laugh, but fortunately, the ancients still believed in this thing of fate.
Seeing Liu Mang being so determined. Kuai Ran naturally didn't want to ask.
Seeing Kuai Ran's disdainful look, Liu Mang was secretly happy, how could you know that this Deng Fan is one of the people who will decide the world later!
Deng Fan and Jiang Wei are real gods and men in the late Three Kingdoms period. If Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong Xu Shu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu determined the settlement in the early Three Kingdoms period, their words alone could be compared to a hundred thousand troops. But in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, it was Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and Zhou Buyi.
Liu Mang only knew that Deng Fan was also Deng Ai. He used to be a Xinyeren, but he didn't expect that he was from Nanyang. But after being told by Kuai Ran, it was discovered that Xinye and Nanyang were very close, so there was no mistake.
It is written in the history books that the Deng family used to be a rich family in Xinye, but Deng Ai's family background can no longer be examined in detail. Deng Ai lost his father since he was a child. Deng Ai lived in an era of frequent wars and social turmoil. He lived in the Central Plains where the land was highly concentrated and the mergers and acquisitions were fierce. It is conceivable that life is difficult. And now Liu Wei saw that Deng Ai's father of Deng's family was alive and alive in front of Liu Wei, it might be because Liu Wei, a little butterfly, waved its wings, and now Nanyang, which was above the original trajectory, belonged to Lao Cao. ruled. Instead of being occupied by Liu Paopao now. However, Deng Ai received a good education since childhood. This had a major impact on his life. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao captured the Central Plains. The local people were forcibly relocated to the north, and Deng Ai, his mother, and clan members were forcibly moved to Runan as villagers at this time. Because of his young age, Deng Ai was originally a cowherd boy. But he had great ambitions since he was a child, determined to change his destiny through struggle. When I was twelve years old, I went to Yingchuan with my mother again. I read two sentences in the inscription of the late Taiqiu Chang Chen Shi, "Writing is the model of the world, and the behavior of the man is the rule". but. Later, there were people with the same name as him in the clan, so they changed their name to this one.
This is a better explanation. Deng Ai's father is alive, so there is no need for Deng Ai to migrate. The matter of naming is naturally his father's business. It is normal for Deng Tian to have been to Yingchuan.
Deng Ai's life change above the original trajectory was when he met Sima Yi, such a lifelong enemy of Zhuge Liang, but now Deng Fan's trajectory has also been changed, and the person who changed him is Liu Mang.
Deng Ai put forward two suggestions under Sima Yi's command. These two suggestions were the reasons why Cao Wei maintained a strong victory in the late Three Kingdoms period. The first two suggestions are to dig river canals and build water conservancy to irrigate farmland. First, increase the output per unit area and dredge water transportation; second, implement large-scale military settlements in Huaibei and Huainan. He believes: "The land is fertile, but unfortunately there is little water, so the land cannot be fully utilized. We should dig rivers and canals, divert water for irrigation, accumulate military supplies widely, and open waterways for water transportation." So he wrote "Jihe Lun" to clarify his point of view . Deng Ai also thought: "In the past, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, and troops were set up to open up fields for this purpose. A lot of food was accumulated in Xudu, with the purpose of controlling the world. Now the three sides have been pacified, but there are still wars in the south of the Huaihe River. Whenever the army marches south , Half of the troops are used for transportation, which costs a lot of money and heavy labor. Between Chen and Cai, the land is fertile, which can save the rice fields around Xuchang and divert water to the east. Today, 20,000 troops are stationed in the north of the Huaihe River. There are 30,000 soldiers stationed in the south, and they take turns resting at a ratio of two-tenths. There are often 40,000 people who farm while guarding. When the weather is good, the harvest is often more than three times that of the west. After deducting the expenses of soldiers and civilians, five million yuan is spent every year. Dendrobium is used as military resources. In six or seven years, 30 million dendrobium grains can be saved in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. These grains are enough to feed 100,000 soldiers and civilians for five years. With these savings, you can attack Soochow and be invincible!"...
And the place where these are implemented is Huainan, that is, in the Yangzhou area. It can be said that Liu Mang is the real master of Deng Ai. It is a perfect match. Deng Ai's two strategies made Huainan a prosperous place in the world again, and Liu Wei is now the master of Huainan. Isn't this born with the image of a master and a disciple
This is not the reason why Liu Wei decided to want Deng Ai, after all, Deng Ai's strategy. Liu Mang also knows that he also has 1,800 years of experience in water conservancy construction, which is even higher than Deng Ai's original one.
The reason why Liu Mang wanted Deng Ai was because of Deng Ai's talent in war. Liu Mang said before that there are some people in this world, and there are counselors. country. For example, Xu You's words caused Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops to flee, and the decades-old foundation in Hebei was wiped out. For example, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's words made Cao Cao's 800,000 troops completely wiped out.
There is another kind of person who is a general, that is, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. These people can lead an army and can charge forward. That's the warrior.
There are also generals, who command soldiers and train formations. The soldiers under his command are all elite, such as Gao Shun, Ju Yi, and Yu Jin. Gao Shun's military strength is only second-rate, but his military training ability is top-notch. The camp he trained is really the king of land warfare However, Liu Mang's Black Chess Army and the two armies of urban management are not necessarily opponents who are trapped in the camp. Being trapped in the camp is one of the reasons why Lu Bu failed again and again and was able to make a comeback again and again. It is even too elite to be trapped in the camp. Lu Bu once suspected that Gao Shun might betray him, and he was a little wary of Gao Shun, preventing Gao Shun from gaining military power.
The imperial army in Yu Jin's hands is also an elite. It can be said that Cao Cao is unstoppable, and his army can't be trained at all. Those elite Qingzhou soldiers were trained by Yu Jin, and Yu Jin's force is only second-rate. Although Liu Mang has trained the city management army in military training, it is still not as good as Yu Jin.
The same is true for Ju Yi, who was famous for going to the camp first, but he was too rigid, so he was still beheaded by Yuan Shao.
The last type is handsome talent. Such people can be said to be counselors or military generals. For example, Zhuge Liang took command and went out to attack Cao Wei, such as Sima Yi, a top strategist, and Zhang Liao, who can lead an army of 100,000 people. A person who is truly in charge is the person in charge, who can control the overall situation. He does not care about the victory of a war but the victory of the entire battle. Such a person is a strategic talent.
But Deng Ai is such a character added up above. If Deng Ai has to be compared to a person, then this person is Zhou Yu, who is capable of writing and martial arts, can command a party, and can also take off his armor as a counselor. You can even put on a battle armor and go into battle to kill the enemy.
It is Deng Ai's ability that Cao Wei was able to win the Kingdom of Shu. You must know that Jiang Wei on the opposite side is not a similar person.
The only one who can compare with Deng Ai in the late period of the Three Kingdoms is Zhou Buyi. Unfortunately, such an evildoer died early, so only Deng Ai's most brilliant scene can be left on the stage of history.
If Liu Mang misses such a talent, even if he wins the Central Plains and pacifies Jiangdong, once Deng Ai grows up and falls into the hands of people like Liu Paopao or Cao Cao, then Liu Mang is ready to cry, he The country is doomed to be unstable.
"Please take care of everything!" Liu Mang said again to Kuai Ran worriedly.
"Okay, okay, you Deng Tian has the guts, the guts!" The butler laughed back angrily. "See how I report to the Young Master when I go back!"
"You can tell everything!" Deng Tian on the side was very disdainful towards the butler. Although Deng Tian was a domestic servant, he disdained to be with this butler. He flattered, bullied the good and feared the evil.
"Mr., we have a search warrant, but it is still in the mansion. Because of the urgency, we can't get it out in time. If you want to see it, please come with us! When you get to the mansion, you can give us a search warrant." Take a look, sir, it won't be too late for us to search, sir!" Deng Tian looked at Jia Xu and said.
