After Sima Zhao was awarded the title, he did not stop in Chang'an. He set off in the afternoon of the same day and headed straight for Lingling with more than a hundred riders.
On the other hand, Deng Ai stayed in Chang'an for three days before he led two thousand cavalry and more than four thousand rocket launchers, which Emperor Liu Chen worked overtime for more than a month to make.
Of course,
The people who went to Jiangling with Deng Ai this time were also the partial general Tian Mu.
Four thousand rocket launchers are neither too much nor too little. If they were handed over directly to Deng Ai, Liu Chan would still not be so relieved.
"General Houyi!" On the way to the expedition,
Deng Ai asked with a smile: "What is a rocket launcher?"
Deng Ai was surprised when he first saw these rocket launchers. He didn't know what they were. It was a good long gun, but it had to be equipped with a bamboo tube and a long thin wire.
p>
Liu Chan just told him that this was a rocket launcher.
But what is a rocket launcher?
Deng Ai didn't know.
Hearing this, Tian Mu laughed loudly and said: "General Deng... this thing..." Tian Mu said, pointing to the rocket launcher on the carriage, and said with some excitement: "This thing is the latest weapon developed by your Majesty. With them, let alone
It’s Cao Wei and Soochow. Even if there are ten Cao Wei and Soochow put together, it won’t be enough to defeat them.”
Hiss!
Deng Ai was shocked when he heard this. Can this small spear and a bamboo tube have such a big deterrent effect?
Can ten Soochow and ten Cao Wei be defeated?
Deng Ai looked at the rocket launcher in disbelief and asked, "How to use this thing?"
Although Tian Mu is young, only in his thirties this year, he also knows that Deng Ai was originally a general of Cao Wei and had recently surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
This time, Tian Mu was actually a little nervous when escorting the rocket launcher to Jiangling with him.
What if... what if this person doesn't really surrender to the big man? If he does something in the middle, wouldn't it be the end of the world?
"This..." Tian Mu pretended to be helpless and shook his head and said, "Mu doesn't know how to use this thing. Apart from His Majesty, the only one who can use this thing is His Highness the King of Qin..." As he said that, he
He laughed again and said: "In a few days, when we arrive in Jiangling, we will know how to use this thing... Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Deng Ai laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Yes, yes, what General Houyi said makes sense, then let's speed up the march and try to reach Jiangling as early as possible."
"Okay!" Tian Mu responded, and then ordered the sergeant to speed up the march.
If Tian Mu doesn't arrive at Jiangling, he will have no peace for a day, because he is worried about Deng Ai.
Are you sincerely surrendering to the Han Dynasty?
Even though the emperor has named him General Guiyi,
His rank is comparable to that of a partial general, but he is a reduced general after all.
However, after half a month of marching, when Tian Mu and Deng Ai arrived at Jiangling with two thousand cavalry and more than four thousand rocket launchers, Deng Ai did not do anything.
Tian Mu breathed a sigh of relief and finally safely handed the rocket launcher into the hands of King Qin Liu Tan, but Liu Tan was a little surprised.
"Welcome General Deng!"
In the Chinese army tent, King Qin Liu Tan said with a smile: "With the help of General Deng, I, a big man, can unify the world and it will be just around the corner!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Deng Ai saluted and said: "Deng Ai is just a subordinate, and thanks to His Majesty's persistence, he is able to serve under His Majesty the King of Qin!"
"Ahem!" Liu Tan waved his hand and said: "Speaking of whether to surrender a general or not, when he comes to the Han Dynasty, he will be my general of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, whether it is the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, or Soochow, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, Deng
Generals must never talk about promoting or demoting generals again."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Deng Ai thanked him and at the same time looked at the young prince in a different light.
"General Shi Zai!" Liu Tan asked seriously after taking the title: "During our army's eastward campaign against Wu, I also fought several battles with Quan Cong, but now he is hiding in the water stronghold.
.." He paused and frowned: "If we cannot cross this water area, it will be difficult for our army to go south to Wuchang..."
"General Shizai, I have heard that the general is well versed in the art of war!" Liu Tan bowed his hand to Deng Ai and asked sincerely: "I don't know General Shizai, is there a way to defeat him?"
Naval battles are actually not Deng Ai’s strong point!
But when Liu Tan asked, he had to tell.
"Your Highness!" Deng Ai looked at the map and then said: "On the way here, the general already knew something about Quan Cong setting up water barriers to block our army's advance."
"Are there any soldiers in our army who are good at water?" Deng Ai asked.
"Yes!" Li Feng, the naval commander on the side, said confidently: "I, the Han navy, have also trained hard for five years. I dare not say anything else. When it comes to water properties, our Han army officers and soldiers are no worse than the Wu army."
p>
"That's easy to do!" Deng Ai nodded and said: "Your Highness can send dozens of soldiers with good water resistance and ask them to pull out the water barriers at night, so that our warships can sail unimpeded?"
As soon as Deng Ai finished speaking, Liu Tan shook his head and said: "We have used this method before, and Quan Cong is very cunning. In addition to setting up water barriers, at the same time, in order to prevent the water barriers from being destroyed by our army, his wood in the water
Fishing nets are connected in series on the piles. If a wooden pile is touched, the message can be transmitted to Wu Jun's water village through the fishing nets..."
"Alas!" Liu Tan looked a little frustrated.
Deng Ai then said: "Your Highness, don't worry. How about Rong Mo going to check the surrounding area and we can make a plan?"
"Okay!" Liu Tan said happily: "I personally accompany General Shizai to check it out!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Deng Ai thanked him.
Liu Tan is impatient. He has been blocking here for almost a month. He is really anxious. He wants to defeat Quan Cong immediately, then lead his army into Wuchang and capture Sun Quan alive.
But the more anxious Liu Tan became, the calmer Quan Cong became.
He stayed in the water stronghold all day long, and no matter how much the Han army yelled and cursed him, he refused to go out to fight.
...
An hour later, halfway up the mountain east of Jiangling City.
Deng Ai, Liu Tan, and Li Feng overlooked the entire Jiangling. Liu Tan and Li Feng didn't think there was anything strange, because they had already been here to check the terrain five or six times.
"Your Highness!" Deng Ai suddenly said with great joy: "There is a way!"
"Really?" Liu Tan was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general has a plan to lure Quan Cong into battle!" Deng Ai said with certainty; this made Liu Tan and Li Feng extremely happy.
As long as they can get Quan Cong out of the stronghold to challenge him, they will have plenty of ways to defeat him.
The stalemate here for this period of time is because Quan Conggui has shrunk and cannot leave the stronghold, making it impossible for the Han army to advance and retreat.
At this time, Deng Ai said that there was a way to lure Quan Cong into battle. How could Liu Tan, Li Feng and the others be unhappy?
But, what is the solution?
Liu Tan asked Deng Ai curiously: "I don't know, general, how do you plan to lure Quan Cong into battle?"
Li Feng also looked at Deng Ai curiously.
