Deng Ai himself had a grudge against Liu Bei. When he heard what Pang Tong said, after thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable.
But for the sake of your own life, you should be more cautious.
He deliberately looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "But General Liu is Liu Huang's uncle and is respected by people all over the world. He is the only one who can support the Han Dynasty in this world. Who is Xiang Kunlun?"
If it were anyone else, the war would have been about to break out because of Deng Ai's words, and he would have gone forward to fight him.
But the person who heard this was Pang Tong, who had a more delicate mind.
He could clearly hear that on the surface Deng Ai was expressing his loyalty to Liu Bei, but in fact he was worried that after surrendering to Xiang Kunlun, he would not receive good treatment or even be killed.
An idea struck him and he came up with a plan.
Pang Tong touched his face and said slowly: "Let's not talk about the issue of Kuang Fu Han's room. Let me ask you first, what do you think of my appearance?"
Deng Ai never expected that Pang Tong's thinking would be so out of the blue that he would suddenly ask this question.
He hesitated.
Isn't it obvious that Pang Tong is ugly
As long as the eyes are not blind and there is no problem with aesthetics, everyone will think so.
But Deng Ai didn't say it directly, he expressed it very tactfully.
At night, Pang Tong tried not to go out so as not to frighten the people.
Deng Ai thought to himself, why did Pang Tong ask him such a question? Isn't this humiliating himself
Unexpectedly, Pang Tong laughed.
"I naturally know my own appearance. But I look like this, and Xiang Kunlun treats me with courtesy and puts me in high regard. So do you think he will hurt everyone who comes to seek refuge with me?"
A few words touched Deng Ai's heart.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pang Tong planned to persuade him again. If the other party still didn't listen, then let's start a fight.
Before he could open his mouth, Deng Ai turned over and dismounted.
"The Overlord of Western Chu has a kind heart, cherishes talents and loves talents. I voluntarily surrender."
After Deng Ai finished speaking, he walked directly to Pang Tong.
The men behind him were all stunned.
Being incited to rebel on the spot, what's going on
So what should these people do
Seeing Pang Tong staring at them eagerly, these people came back to their senses.
Not caring about any military orders, they scattered like mountains and fled in all directions.
Pang Tong had no intention of pursuing him in the first place, so being able to capture Deng Ai this time was already his biggest gain.
When Liu Bei got the news, his eyes were as wide as bells.
I've known for a long time that this guy has two minds, and that's true.
I don't have much ability myself, but I am the best at adapting to the wind.
Liu Bei was so angry that he jumped on his feet.
Suddenly he thought of Deng Ai's good friend Sima Yi.
"Where are the others, Sima Yi?"
The subordinate said that he should still be in his room.
Liu Bei sneered: "Deng Ai is not a good guy, and Sima Yi, as his friend, is not a good guy either. Go and kill him."
Sima Yi just wanted to come to see Liu Bei. When he heard these words outside, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.
He knew that he could no longer stay with Liu Bei, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Pang Tong took Deng Ai back to pick up Xiang Kunlun.
The first time he saw Xiang Kunlun, Deng Ai felt a strong sense of oppression.
It was an innate kingly demeanor after being the Overlord of Western Chu.
Pang Tong was filled with emotion. If Xiang Kunlun hadn't prompted him, he might not have figured out a solution yet.
"Shi Yuan is not as good as the mission after all!"
Then he pointed at Deng Ai: "This man really wants to surrender, so Shi Yuan took it upon himself to bring him back. Let the lord decide everything himself."
Xiang Kunlun and Deng Ai both looked at each other calmly.
Xiang Kunlun: Frank and open-minded, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Even if he surrenders, he will not grovel. He seems to be a man.
Deng Ai: Tall, muscular, handsome, and domineering. What General Pang said is true.
Xiang Kunlun asked: "Are you Deng Ai? Xiang has heard of your name and has admired it for a long time."
Deng Ai immediately knelt down and worshiped: "I am Deng Ai, named Shizai, from Jiyang, Yiyang. I heard that General Xiang understands the righteousness, so I came here to join him."
At this point, the system is online.
[Ding! The development of the follow-up mission has been detected. Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting Deng Ai.]
[This person is loyal and resourceful. With him, the host is one step closer to becoming the overlord.]
Xiang Kunlun raised his eyebrows. When he accepted other people before, the system never seemed to give such an evaluation.
This time, why did he say this for the first time when he accepted Deng Ai
Xiang Kunlun realized that this man was not a simple man, and saw that he was very humble and liked him very much.
"Shizai, please get up quickly! Xiang is very pleased that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light. In this case, how about making you a forward general?"
Deng Ai never expected that he had just come here and had not made any achievements. He had even helped Liu Bei defeat Xiang Kunlun.
Xiang Kunlun was so tolerant and generous, and treated himself so favorably from the beginning.
Deng Ai was so moved that he spoke incoherently: "General Xiang, oh no, my lord! Shi Zai will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"
Sometimes when dealing with people with this kind of personality, it's actually very simple. You just need to be nice to him, and then he will be nicer to you.
Just because of Xiang Kunlun's words, Deng Ai was completely devoted to Xiang Kunlun. He would not hesitate to let him do anything, even if he had to sacrifice his own life.
Xiang Kunlun nodded with satisfaction. Facts have proved how important it is to be able to grasp people's psychology.
Xiang Kunlun nodded and was about to tell everyone about the current form of war.
The men came to report: "Report! Master, Sima Yi has come to ask for an audience."
Xiang Kunlun sneered and asked to see you? I'm afraid he also came to seek refuge.
Deng Ai and Sima Yi had a certain friendship. He stepped forward and said, "My lord, Sima Yi knows the formations. It would be a good thing if he could use them for his own use."
Xiang Kunlun doesn't think so.
He stared into Deng Ai's eyes: "You and him are very good brothers, do you have a deep friendship?"
Deng Ai shook his head and said it was just a nod.
Having said that, when he originally planned to leisurely travel around the mountains and rivers, Sima Yifei dragged him over to serve as Liu Bei's adviser.
The result can be regarded as fate, and by mistake, he ended up on Xiang Kunlun's side.
"Since we're not good brothers, it's easy to handle."
"Come here, kill him directly."
Xu Chu was already ready to let Sima Yi in, and was very puzzled when he heard what Xiang Kunlun said.
"My lord, this man is considered a talent. He has been able to compete with military advisors for so long. Why don't you accept him?"
Xiang Kunlun explained: "Those who are virtuous but not talented are well-behaved, while those who are talented but not virtuous will not dare to be entrusted with important responsibilities no matter how talented they are."
