The weather in summer is becoming more and more unpredictable. It may be a strong sun in the morning, but it may become a violent storm in the afternoon.
There was a heavy rain that day. At this moment, the dark clouds had just dispersed, the sky cleared up again, and the warm sunshine enveloped the earth again.
The land is covered with green grass, and occasionally puddles formed by heavy rain can be seen.
"Da da da."
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Gradually, a large army slowly came from the south.[
The soldiers in this army were all wearing leather armor, holding spears, and carrying bows and arrows, exuding waves of strength.
Behind the army, baggage vehicles were densely packed one after another.
In front, there is a handsome flag with the word "Han" in it. The strong wind is blowing, making hunting noises, teeth and claws showing, as if trying to select people to devour, it is very powerful.
Near the handsome flag, there are two general flags flying, both with the word "Deng" embroidered on them.
Under the banner, there are two generals, both wearing golden armor and embroidered robes on their backs, sitting astride strong horses. However, one has a gun in his hand, and the other has nothing in his hand.
The empty-headed man has a slender figure, a thin face, and a pair of gentle and peaceful eyes, exuding waves of elegance.
If you just look at his appearance, he looks more like a Confucian than a general. However, occasionally, there is a flash of courage in his eyes.
It can be seen that this person looks like a Confucian, but once he encounters a big event, he must be very majestic and decisive. He is a high-ranking general.
The general holding the gun in his hand had a hairless face and was a young boy. His black hair was as black as ink, scattered around, giving people a rough and mighty feeling.
His face is as sharp as a knife, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's.
To put it simply, although he is a young man, he is domineering and powerful, unlike ordinary people.
These two men walked in front, guiding the army slowly towards the north.
"On the way, Lieutenant Deng hid the armor, sword, and crossbow, but he had a plan in mind?" The Confucian general glanced at the young general, smiled faintly, and said warmly.
"Ah, there is a river in front of us. No matter where it is, we must beware of Xianbei spies. This battalion of soldiers and horses under the general is imitated by the general's own soldiers. It cannot be hidden from the important officials, but the thieves and bandits on the grassland are afraid.
It’s because we don’t know. If we are caught by surprise, we can use a surprise weapon.”
Hearing this, the young general admitted frankly and called himself the last general. His words were quite respectful to the Confucian general.
Although the young general's words were respectful, the Confucian general did not show even the slightest gesture, because he knew what kind of person the man in front of him was.
Not to mention that this man was raised in the East Palace and was an old minister of the East Palace. He was not comparable to the current crown prince and the king's general as an ordinary court official.
Just talking about this man's talent and learning is enough to make him respect him.
It can be said that the eagle of Han Dynasty will definitely be able to sing in the sky. How can he show off any gestures? Not only can he not show off gestures, but he is an equal.[
These two people are the heroes under Liu Feng, Deng Zhi, who has the talent of a general and once served as a long-term commander under Liu Feng. And Deng Zhi, who is destined to stand alone in the world and be invincible in his life. In the past, Liu Feng's prince, Prince Saren, is today's Colonel Deng.
Deng Ai.
One of the two was young and polite, and was very respectful to his seniors. The other had a peaceful attitude, so they became friendly with each other along the way and became a pair of friends.
However, Deng Ai was only eighteen years old and had no nickname, so Deng Zhicai was called Deng Xiaowei.
As for what Deng Zhi asked, it was because when leaving Luoyang, Deng Ai ordered his soldiers not to remove their armor. You must know that armor is heavy. When marching, armor is usually placed on the baggage carts at the rear.
And this march without disarming will be exhausting. However, this has disadvantages but also advantages. This march without disarming can exercise the endurance and physical fitness of the soldiers.
Since Deng Ai had a high prestige in the army, all six thousand soldiers dared not disobey this order. They traveled thousands of miles from Luoyang to Hetao.
But after arriving at Hetao, Deng Ai ordered his soldiers to hide their Mo Dao, crossbows and armor, put on ordinary leather armor, carry bows and arrows on their backs, and move forward with spears.
This was obvious clumsiness, which is why Deng Zhi asked. When he asked, Deng Zhi was actually sure. Deng Ai's answer was just confirmation.
Then the two of them talked a few more words, but Deng Ai never said much, so it was a bit awkward. Deng Zhi knew that Deng Ai stuttered when he was a child, but he improved it when he grew up.
But he is silent and rarely speaks, but every word he speaks must be sharp. As the saying goes, he speaks few words but is precise.
Therefore, Deng Zhi didn't care much.
At this moment, Deng Ai's eyes were always looking far ahead. Not only did the sharpness in his eagle eyes not fade away, but they became even sharper.
There is still a bit of excitement.
Deng Ai had a calm personality and a calm attitude, and was a talented general. The people he respected the most in his life were Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
In Changping, the champions of the two princes came out of the fortress, and the Xiongnu fled far away. All the famous generals in later generations admired him.
And the first battle in his life was also when he went out to conquer the grassland, and his opponents were Xianbei people who were no less inferior to the Huns in the past. Naturally, Deng Ai's blood was aroused.
Not only that, there was someone in the north who he was destined to be loyal to. The crown prince, the king's general, the life-bearer of the Han Dynasty, the hero of the times.
Liu Feng.
At that time, Deng Ai was in Xinye. Although he was young, he was favored by Sima Hui and became his disciple. He not only remembered events, but also became a young and old man.
At that time, he was just a son of the Yitian family, but he was valued by Liu Feng. Later, Liu Feng's identity was revealed, and he was brought into the East Palace to calm the prince.
Don't.
A member of the Tian family soared into the sky, entered the East Palace, and became today's old minister of the East Palace. It was no different from leaping from a snake to a dragon, ascending to the sky in one step.
If it were applied to ordinary people, they would either be flattered and submissive. Or they would be secretly reserved and quite proud. But what kind of person is Deng Ai? How can he be ordinary?[
Not only was he not submissive, but he was also not arrogant. Instead, he did his duty and abided by the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers to Liu Feng. He never showed any squeamishness because he was close to him.
With Jia Xu, the young master of the prince, he also behaved like a disciple, asked for advice humbly, and was respectful and courteous.
It can be said that you should neither be arrogant nor impetuous, and take your duties seriously.
Seventy percent of this was due to Deng Ai's nature, but one third of it was due to his admiration for Liu Feng.
Although there is only a few years difference between Liu Feng and Deng Ai, this feeling has always existed.
Because when Deng Ai was still studying, Liu Feng was already on horseback and with a spear, conquering the world. But today, he, Deng Ai, has achieved some success and is ready to go to war.
Liu Feng, however, has already raised his troops to challenge the princes, and is now invincible in the world.
Therefore, in Deng Ai's heart, Liu Feng was not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty, but also the King's General, a famous general in the world that he respected.
However, Liu Feng and Deng Ai rarely met each other.
Because Liu Feng often raised troops to conquer the world, he was often away from the East Palace. But this time, we met again after more than a year.
Deng Ai felt faintly excited at the thought of seeing Liu Feng again.
