Chapter 71 Don't bully the poor
"You just led the Huns away?"
Zhang Hua looked at the ragged cowherd.
This person's clothes are thin but he is not afraid of wind and cold. He has a good physique and should not be an ordinary boy.
The Cowherd's Edge Ai Ai replied, "That's right. The little man heard that there were Huns upstream of the river, so he wanted to kill a few Huns and go back to receive the reward."
Xia Village implements a military merit-level title system. As long as the enemy's head is killed, you can get the corresponding title and be treated well.
Therefore, this is the rise channel for civilians and soldiers to become officers.
After the Cowherd knew that Xia Village had a military merit system, he became interested in becoming a lower-level officer by killing the Huns.
"Very good, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. What's your name?"
"The villain is named Deng, Deng Ai."
The cowherd trembled all over excitedly, this was his chance to change his destiny!
In troubled times, heroes are more likely to emerge because there are more opportunities to make contributions!
Deng Ai?!
Feng Yi didn't feel it yet, but Zhang Hua, Chen Wu, and Mulan, who knew Deng Ai, were all surprised.
Smuggled through Yinping and took Shu Han directly!
Deng Ai was awarded the gods with the most exciting battle in the post-Three Kingdoms era!
It is hard to imagine that the ragged and stuttering cowherd in front of him turned out to be Deng Ai, the general of the Wei State's expedition to the West!
In fact, when Deng Ai was young, his family was in decline and he became a poor man who herded cattle and farmed. With his stuttering, even if he had talent, he worked as a military farmer in Cao Wei for twenty years, and then he became a minor official in military farming.
It was not until Sima Yi that Deng Ai rose to prominence and made many military achievements.
What does it mean not to deceive young people and be poor? Thirty years from east to west?
Deng Ai is such an example.
Although Deng Ai, who was young, became a cowherd in Xia Village, Deng Ai was still unwilling to be ordinary and actively changed his class.
Finally, Deng Ai met someone who knew the goods.
Zhang Hua had never heard the village officials mention that there was a person like Deng Ai before.
However, Zhang Hua thought again, who could associate the Cowherd in front of him with the General of the Wei State's Western Expedition?
There are countless people named Deng Ai in all dynasties.
"What dynasty are you and where are you from?"
Zhang Hua repeatedly confirmed that the cowherd in front of him was Deng Ai, the Three Kingdoms.
"The villain was from Yiyang during the Jian'an period."
"I can't be wrong."
Both Zhang Hua and Chen Wu can be determined.
Jian'an was the reign of Emperor Xian of Han.
He is named Deng Ai, and he is extremely courageous. If he is not Wei general Deng Ai, who else can he be?
"You save my life and from now on, you will be my personal soldier."
Seeing that Deng Ai was not old and could easily become his confidant, Zhang Hua transferred Deng Ai as his personal soldier.
Because of Sima Yi's appreciation, Deng Ai became the thug of the Sima family and conquered the Shu Han for the Sima family.
At this time, Zhang Hua promoted Deng Ai from the Cowherd to his personal soldier, which was equivalent to recreating his kindness to Deng Ai. Deng Ai was grateful and knelt down again and again: "There is a Bole in the world, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. Deng Ai is willing to follow the Ming Gong and die without hesitation!"
Zhang Hua accepted Deng Ai as his confidant and returned to the camp with everyone.
Feng Yi and Chen Wu led their troops to support Zhang Hua, while Liao Hua was in charge of the camp.
When Liao Hua saw the young Deng Ai, his eyes widened.
Deng Ai and Liao Hua are opponents of the same era.
To be precise, Deng Ai was the mortal enemy of Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Kingdom. He defeated Jiang Wei many times and destroyed Shu Han. Liao Hua hated him to the core.
Unfortunately, Deng Ai in front of him was just a cowherd, not the general of the Wei State who blocked Jiang Wei in the later period and Liao Hua's northern expedition to the Central Plains.
"This is God's will."
Liao Hua resisted the urge to go up and punch Deng Ai.
Deng Ai appeared in the valley, and Liao Hua could only blame the will of heaven.
There are now many military generals of the Three Kingdoms in Xia Village, Xu Chu of Wei, Deng Ai of Wu, Sun Shangxiang of Jiang Qin, and Liao Hua of Shu.
"Xu Chu, you choose a pair of armor to equip Deng Ai."
Zhang Hua ordered Xu Chu, the military general of the guard, to distribute a set of armor to Deng Ai.
Zhang Hua's personal soldiers are Xu Chu.
Because of the military achievements of saving Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua promoted Deng Ai to Xu Chu's deputy general, and no one complained.
Deng Ai changed into a pair of Han Dynasty armor, with a ring-headed knife hanging around his waist, holding a spear in his hand, with a murderous aura and a brand new image.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.
Deng Ai got his wish and became an officer, and he was more loyal to Zhang Hua, becoming one of Zhang Hua's confidant generals.
1,500 soldiers and 3,000 rural brave men came to the upper reaches of the river valley to attack the Xiongnu and confronted the Xiongnu Yizhixie Shanyu.
The number of professional soldiers in Xia Village is larger, and the main force is that the Huns are all cavalry.
Mulan had only 400 cavalrymen.
Feng Yi and Chen Wu commanded the infantry.
"Yi Zhixie's talent is likely to be manipulating the eagle."
Zhang Hua returned to the camp and mentioned Yi Zhixie's talent to Chen Gong.
Yi Zhixie used the eagle to conduct reconnaissance. This unexpected heroic talent once put Zhang Hua in danger.
Chen Gong pondered: "In other words, our deployment is clearly visible in Yi Zhixie's eyes. This is a very tricky talent."
"Sir, the side van has arrived."
While Zhang Hua was talking with Chen Gong, a team of township brave men arrived with wooden carts.
This is a box truck specially built by Zhang Hua for carpenters to deal with the Hun cavalry.
The soldiers and horses of Xia Village confronted the narrow part of the valley, with frozen rivers to the south and peaks to the north.
"Deng Ai, you lead a team of infantry, cross the river overnight, and go around the rear of the Huns."
Zhang Hua recruited Deng Ai and gave Deng Ai the first order.
Although Zhang Hua didn't know Deng Ai's talent before returning to the village, Zhang Hua could probably speculate that Deng Ai's talent was related to the marching, so he asked Deng Ai to lead his troops to attack.
Deng Ai is undoubtedly one of the most suitable generals to launch a surprise attack.
"The lord trusts Ai so much, Ai will fulfill his mission!"
Deng Ai went into battle for the first time and knew that this was Zhang Hua's training for him, so he led 200 infantrymen to cross the river overnight.
The next morning, in Xia Village, the soldiers of the Xiongnu came out of the camp. Xia Village soldiers seized the narrowest place in the valley. Dozens of side vans lined up to block the road for the Xiongnu to advance eastward.
Liao Hua and his light infantry hid behind the side van, and the long spear was mounted on the side van, forming a copper wall and iron wall.
On the opposite side, the Xiongnu Yizhixie Shanyu commanded 1,000 Xiongnu cavalry and drove away 3,000 servants to fight.
The Hun cavalry also equipped with the Han Dynasty ring-headed sword.
Yizhixi Shanyu hung a golden knife on his waist, and was full of murderous aura. An eagle fell on Yizhixi Shanyu's shoulder and made a strange cry.
"Is there an infantryman going around us? In front of the spirit eagle of this Shanyu, you dare to show off your ugly trick. You bring 200 cavalry to defeat this infantryman."
Yizhixie Shanyu ordered a thousand-strong leader of the Huns.
"Abide by the order!"
The Huns' commander led 200 Hun cavalry and went to attack Deng Ai without stopping.
"It's a side van again."
Yi Zhi looked at the square formation of side vans like a city wall on the east side, and thought of his mortal enemy Wei Qing.
"The minion army takes the lead!"
