"Brother, Shen Lian's side is back, our troops have been practicing tirelessly recently, just wait for my brother's order, and we can fight at any time."

In the old house of the Shen family in Xicheng, Shen Yi reported to Shen Tan, who was writing a letter, about the situation over there.

Shen Tan kept writing, nodded and said: "After I finish writing three letters, I will send people to Chengdu, Hanzhong Weiyan, and Fangling Mengda respectively." ”

Shen Yi can understand sending a letter to Meng Da and inform him to raise troops to attack Shangyong, but why do you still send letters to Chengdu and Hanzhong?

Shen Yi asked the doubts in his heart, and Shen Tan smiled: "Although Liu Feng's husband took advantage of you and me to take advantage of mediocrity, he also did a good thing. Today, before we got into trouble, he took the lead and reported it to Hanzhong and Chengdu.

"It is said that he was dissatisfied with Jingzhou's post-war reward, and asked us for money, grain and goods. We have already obeyed it, but they are still greedy and insufficient, and when they see that they are no longer obedient, they will act in vain, attack their colleagues, and occupy the mediocrity.

"If you want to get rid of the Shen family and enrich yourself, and support the army to hold the city for self-respect, what is the difference between rebellion and rebellion? When Wei Yan saw it, he would send troops to come.

"If the king of Wei has sent troops by then, we can help him eat the reinforcements from Hanzhong, and if he is defenseless, his troops will be defeated. If you can help Cao Wei regain Hanzhong, it will be a great achievement for you and me!

"If Cao Jun doesn't come, he will insist that Liu Feng is in trouble, and with Meng Da's words, he will definitely be able to trick the reinforcements into attacking Liu Feng with me, and then act again......"

The more Shen Yi listened, the more excited she became, and she slapped her thigh and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" Brother's clever plan, whether Cao Jun comes or doesn't come this time, my Shen family can sit and reap the benefits. ”

……

The person who delivered the letter to the rear went to the west of the city to board the ship, but the person who delivered the letter to Fangling was being discovered by the shadow guards who followed all the way.

"Huh? Isn't that someone from the Shen family?"

He saw that this person was walking in a hurry, his eyes were occasionally aimed around, and his hand touched his waist from time to time, and his behavior was quite strange.

Shadow Guard rolled his eyes and quietly walked to the front.

The person who delivered the letter from the Shen family was rushing to the dock in the east of the city, when a black shadow suddenly burst out from the corner and collided with the unsuspecting him.

"Oops!"

The Shen family felt like they had hit a wall, and sat on the ground.

Raising his eyes, a silly big man with a gentle face in front of him was nervously reaching over: "Are you okay with your feet?" ”

"Don't you have long eyes?!"

The stupid big man hurriedly helped him up, patted the soil on his body, hugged his fists and bowed down apologetically: "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and she is in a hurry, don't blame him." ”

The Nashen family snorted coldly: "Hmph! If it weren't for my important business, I wouldn't have had to rest with you today! ”

In a hurry, he didn't think that he was also a private soldier of the Shen Mansion, how could he be knocked over by an ordinary man, but the other party didn't move......

After saying that, he touched his waist, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

The stupid big man straightened up and ran in the other direction with an anxious face, as if his daughter-in-law was really about to give birth.

Running all the way to the market, he looked left and right, and finally stopped in front of a vendor who set up a stall.

After talking to the vendor about the price, he took the opportunity to buy something, and the stupid big man handed over a bag.

The Nashen family never dreamed that the brocade bag around their waist had turned into a ragged linen cloth full of sweat at this time.

Of course, the stupid big man didn't expect that the chicken and dog thief experience that he had been ashamed of after following the prince would come in handy one day.

After a long absence, the technology seems to be unfamiliar, after all, it used to be eaten by this hand......

After a short time, the bag arrived in Shen Zhong's hand, and after opening it, it contained several pieces of cloth full of words.

"Huh!" Shen Zhong, who had read the letter, sighed in annoyance.

The letter said that Liu Feng had taken the lead and occupied the upper class, and informed Meng Da to raise troops to attack him.

He also informed Cao Jun of whether he came or not, and what he thought of to deal with it.

Shen Zhong really didn't expect that as soon as he walked on his front foot, Liu Feng would make a move.

No wonder when he arrived in Xicheng, he found that the Shen brothers were also here, and it turned out that they were going to mobilize private soldiers and reorganize their armies for war.

He also blamed himself at this time, knowing that Liu Feng was impulsive and reckless, maybe he should think of a more secure way to deal with it, instead of leaving it all to Liu Feng to dominate.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it, it is better to make amends, and it is not too late.

"Quick, the prince should have arrived in Hanzhong, maybe he is already on the way to come, report this matter to the prince quickly!"

"Yes!"

……

After Shen Tan sent a few letters, he prepared for one day, and the next day he led his private troops to Shangyong with Shen Yi.

Since they moved in this battle, they must win, not only ordered 3,000 private soldiers, but also gathered 2,000 people to accompany the army.

This is not difficult for the Shen family, which has thousands of shaded households.

Those families have to rely on the Shen family to live, and they dare not disobey this.

The Shen family's army marched to Shangyong, and along the way, they continued to gather villagers in the counties and villages in the mountains along the way.

By the time the army landed in the south of Shangyong City, there were nearly 10,000 people.

Shangyong City is bordered by the river in the south, and Shen Tan led the army to block the north, west, and east gates, but did not arrive at the close battle for the time being.

"I am the general of the expedition to the north! Where is the rebel general Liu Feng, step forward to answer! Under Shangyong City, Shen Tan rode on a bantam horse and shouted.

Liu Feng, who was standing at the head of the city, was furious: "Phew! You, a repeated villain, secretly communicate with Cao Wei, intending to betray the Lord and seek glory! If you don't apologize for your sins today, what face do you have to come here to see me! ”

"Hehe, you have repeatedly asked for money, but you dare to commit a crime and lead the army to make trouble! is still brazen and anti-fouling us, now that our army has arrived, we have not opened the city and subdued the law, when will we wait? ”

Of course, the two didn't expect the other party to disarm and surrender in a few words before the battle.

The reason why they still talk trash talk to each other is to occupy the so-called righteousness and put themselves on the moral high ground to boost morale.

Even if it's really a repeated villain, you have to find some fig leaf, otherwise before you can fight, the soldiers under your command will be deflated first.

This is extremely important, even in future generations, and stealing oil cannot be directly said to be stealing oil, but to fight for the freedom of the oppressed people in the region, which is in line with the general righteousness.

Later, Shen Tan set up camp near Shangyong, ordered the army to rest for the time being, and Minzhuang cut down trees and made improvised siege equipment.

As soon as Meng Da's army comes to converge, he will attack Shangyong!

"General! Outside the city, the Shentan army has set up camp and is ordering people to go into the mountains to cut wood. ”

When the soldiers approached the city, Liu was very calm: "The city defense will be carried out according to my previous arrangement, and there is enough food and grass in the city, so he will not worry about attacking it for a few months." set aside manpower and kept an eye on the officials and people in the city.

"If anyone dares to approach the city gate, heavy grain and grass storage and other important places of military aircraft without authorization, and those who refuse to obey will be killed!"

"Yes!"

With the lessons learned, Liu Feng is now strongly vigilant against all locals.

In three days, he killed five sneaky people in a row, and his corpses were violently on the streets, which finally shocked the Shangyong City.

did not let there be any more loopholes in the city defense, giving the Shen family a chance to take advantage of.

Although Liu Feng was annoyed by his recklessness, he wanted to show it but it was self-defeating, but he was not too worried to say that he was worried.

The ordinary people recruited by the Shen family are all without armor, and they are purely one-time consumables that consume the physical strength of the defenders during the siege.

There are only 3,000 people who can really be counted as an army.

Even if Shangyong City is not tall and strong enough, trying to storm the city with the same number of people as the defenders is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Even if Meng Da led the army to help, the total would only be 7,000 soldiers.

The "Shangji" grain and grass given by the Shen family came in handy at this time, as long as he held on, he would wait for the prince to solve the crisis by himself.

However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the scouts he had sent before returned on a raft and quietly returned to the city from the south gate.

"General, you can see many ships coming one after another on the river outside the north of the county! Watching the ships and flags is by no means an ordinary civilian caravan, although I haven't seen the flag clearly, I think it should be Cao Wei's soldiers! ”

Liu Feng's face sank: "Probe and report again!" ”

"Yes!"

……

On the water, a military general stood on the boat.

This person is in his thirties, tall and handsome, and his posture is upright, and he is the main general of Cao Jun this time - Xiahou Shang (the word Boren).

He is a veritable "second generation", although he has not been in charge of himself before, but like Cao Rui, he is often taken by Cao Cao's side to observe the march and combat on the spot, and he is not a straw bag who knows nothing about fighting.

He has a close relationship with Cao Pi and is one of the princelings who is very valued by Cao Pi.

He is determined to win this battle.

"Ah Yue, you wait patiently, and when I am defeated, I will go back to see you immediately."
