Deng Ai set up the central army tent at the foot of Qilin Mountain. The most painful thing was the army lying ambushed on Qilin Mountain. They could not camp and cook, they could only sleep in the open air with mosquitoes on the mountain. Every night, they would be bitten by bags full of heads and hands.

Since the road in front of the mountain was not daring to walk at all, the supplies that transported them to dry food could only go around the back mountain, at least dozens of miles of mountain road, and it was very hard to cross mountains and ridges.

At the beginning, no one complained. In order to win the battle, everyone could overcome this small difficulty. In order to cooperate with Deng Ai's ambush plan, all the people performed their duties and worked hard.

But after a long time, no one could stand it. After all, the Jin army stationed in Tongguan was completely useless. They were lurking on Qilin Mountain so hard, which was completely useless.

So some generals made suggestions to Deng Ai, asking to withdraw from the ambushed troops on the mountain and retreat the central army tent to the outside of Yuanwanggou. After all, it is meaningless to waste it so much.

But Deng Ai did not agree. Sometimes it takes some patience to fight. Simply setting up a trap can make the enemy get in. Unless you encounter an enemy general who is too stupid to be stupid, as long as you are a little brained general, you will not be easily deceived.

At that time, Deng Ai placed the bait here. Every day, people in the central army tent were all senior generals of the Wei army, and they were just under the noses of the Jin army. It would be strange if they didn't jealous.

Deng Ai knew that there would be people on the Jin army who would observe the situation on their side day and night to determine whether there were ambushers on Qilin Mountain. As long as they showed some flaws, they would be noticed by the Jin army, and then all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Therefore, those who achieve great things must have the will to persevere. Deng Ai is not a person who will give up halfway. Since he sets up this strategy, he will stick to it to the end. No matter how many difficulties there are, they must be overcome.

It is indeed difficult for the Wei soldiers who ambushed on Qilin Mountain. They have been slept in the barren mountains and ridges for several consecutive months. Moreover, there is not much vegetation on Qilin Mountain. If you want to hide tens of thousands of people, you must be scattered behind the backs of each mountain, hide your head and tail, and cannot walk around at will, and you cannot make loud noises. This kind of lurking method is indeed boring, and it is really difficult to persevere without great perseverance.

Although the Jin army never left the city, Deng Ai was not a person who could easily change his mind. He was very stubborn and could not pull back the eight horses of what he decided. Even if the Jin army never left the city, there would be no casualties for the Wei army. At most, it would be a little hardship. These soldiers were not afraid of death, would they still be afraid of hardship?

It is true that Hu Fen is cautious, but the Jin army is not a solid piece of law. Even if Hu Fen does not go to the battle, it will not guarantee that other people will not be moved. As long as the Wei army has enough patience to persevere, there is still a chance to catch a big fish.

Therefore, even when many generals thought that Deng Ai was doing useless work, Deng Ai still insisted on his own opinion and did not give up his plan. Even when Deputy Governors Ma Long and Qian Hong both thought that this plan was difficult to achieve, Deng Ai still acted very stubborn and did not give orders to retreat.

All the generals were helpless. After all, Deng Ai was the governor of the Left Army, and everyone else had to abide by his orders unconditionally. Others could only make suggestions. Whether to adopt them or not is Deng Ai's business.

However, Deng Ai's stubbornness still caused considerable criticism in the army. Many people believe that the reason why Deng Ai refused to retreat was entirely due to face. Deng Ai had the reputation of an ever-winning general in the Wei army. He had won dozens of battles of all sizes and rarely suffered defeats, which naturally made Deng Ai a little arrogant.

This time, the ambush was set up in Qilin Mountain, and there was not much hope of seducing the enemy. He also encountered Hu Fen, who was good at defending and was willing to be a turtle with his head. Therefore, this ambush was basically gone, but Deng Ai seemed to be unable to lose face, so this situation of difficulty in riding a tiger was present.

But after all, Deng Ai was the main general, and he did not agree to evacuate no one dared to evacuate. Therefore, the camp responsible for ambushing on Qilin Mountain could only continue to stay on the mountain honestly. The good summer passed quickly, and the problem of mosquito bites was solved, but new problems followed one after another.

In autumn, the wind and cold are heavy, and the camps are trapped in the mountains, and they cannot make fires to keep warm. In the middle of the night and early morning, many soldiers will be trembling with cold, and many people are even infected with wind and cold and are forced to evacuate the top of the mountain.

But even so, Deng Ai did not give up his ambush plan. In order to deal with the problem of heavy wind and cold dew, Deng Ai specially transferred a batch of winter clothes to equip the camp in advance, so that the soldiers who stayed on the top of the mountain could avoid the problem of wind and cold.

But this is just a temporary measure. After all, the weather is getting colder day by day. Even if the Wei soldiers were wearing winter clothes, they could not fall asleep on the cold night. This is just autumn. If the ambush continues until winter, it will definitely be unsustainable.

Therefore, the generals believed that the limit of Deng Ai's plan was winter. If the Jin army did not come to attack him in winter, Deng Ai's plan would have to declare a miscarriage in the end.

If that is true, I am afraid that the first slap in the face will be Deng Ai.

But Deng Ai seemed to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he ordered the camp ambushed on Qilin Mountain to strengthen their concealment. With the arrival of autumn, there were a large number of fallen leaves on the top of the mountain, and fewer places for the Wei army to hide. Therefore, at this time they must pay more attention to concealment. Once the traces are discovered by the Jin army in Tongguan, all their efforts will be wasted.

All the supplies and food transported must be taken to the mountain road to the east, and even if you walk dozens of miles more, it is not hesitant to take. After all, the Zhongjun camp is only a few miles away from Tongguan. Even at night, as long as there is moonlight, the Wei army can still see clearly up and down the mountain.

Details determine success or failure. Deng Ai naturally pays great attention to this aspect. A small negligence may lead to several months of hard work. The more we reach this time, we must be more careful, because the Jin army is also likely to be spy on it, and they are also planning the success rate of sneak attacks. If the chance of success is high, no one will resist this temptation.
