Before the defenders of Xicheng pondered the taste, Liu Chan made Ma Chao quickly control the city gates, warehouses and other important places, and at the same time summoned the Shen family's troops, and very gently disarmed them and unloaded their armor.

It was only at this time that the private soldiers of the Shen family reacted, and the Hanzhong reinforcements brought by Ma Chao ...... It doesn't seem to be aiding yourself.

It's a pity that it's too late, it's already here, and in the face of the Red Star Army that has entered the city, they have lost the ability to resist, so they can only obediently tie their hands.

Later, Liu Chan listened to Shen Zhong's report on the situation in this place, and quickly arranged for people to put the officials of Xicheng under house arrest, I am afraid that most of these people are wearing the same pants as the Shen family, and now there is no time to screen them one by one.

At the same time, the pacification of the people in this place began, although the Shen family has been operating here for many years, fortunately, Shen has requisitioned a large number of people to accompany the army, and most of the families controlled by the Shen family are only old and weak, which reduces the difficulty of Liu Chan's work.

In less than a day, with the assistance of Shen Zhong and several other shadow guards, the Shen family's old nest, Xicheng County, was under control.

The real mansion of the Shen family, several times larger than the one in Shangyong, has been requisitioned by Liu Chan and others at this time.

In the hall, Liu Chan began to deploy the next battle situation.

"Ding Feng, Chai Rong."

"The end will be." The two stood up and clenched their fists.

"Order the two of you to lead a reserve of 1,000 people to guard the West City."

"Yes!" Although they answered happily and did not question Liu Chan's order, they could still see on their faces the regret that they could not attack and kill the enemy.

Liu Chan naturally knows this: "This place is where the foundation of the Shen family is, and it has been operating here for many years, and its forces are intertwined. If we are not careful, there may be a riot, and once we lose our army in the three counties, we may lose our foothold, and you can be said to have a great responsibility. ”

Ding Feng and Chai Rong immediately became serious: "I will live up to the prince's trust." ”

Liu Chan nodded: "Shen Zhong, a few of you arrived early, and if you know more about this place, you will stay and help them guard Xicheng." This place is also the gateway between Hanzhong and the three counties, if there is a loss, the reinforcements can not enter, our army can not retreat, be careful. ”

"Yes!"

Then Liu Chan smiled again: "You don't have to regret it, it seems that this kind of powerful family power, the authority is tied to Shen Tan and Shen Yi." After the two people are captured, Xicheng will be safe, and then he will have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Ding Feng and Chai Rong were happy, and they hugged their fists and said yes.

"After the others led the army to rest for a while, they immediately sent troops to Shangyong with Gu to rescue my brother!"

"Yes!"

Then Liu Chan looked at Ma Chao again: "What does General Ma think?" ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Since the minister came alone, there is no difference between him and the generals under the prince's command at this time, but everything is according to the prince's orders." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "In this case, I will ask General Ma to lead the army to a hundred horsemen." Hu Li! ”

"In!" The named Hu Ma made rapid progress in his martial arts, and in addition to his position as a military commander, he was also the commander of the cavalry.

"Wait for hundreds of horsemen, this battle is under the command of General Ma, and General Ma's order is Lone's order."

"Yes!"

【Super Favorability+1】(47)

After the arrangement, Liu Chan got up and said: "This victory or defeat is not only the gain or loss of the three counties, but also related to the safety of Hanzhong and the great cause of the Northern Expedition. Desperate to fight the three counties, I hope that all the kings will fight bravely. ”

"Swear to follow the prince to the death!"

Ma Chao on the side was also infected by the high morale of everyone, and the blood that had been cooled for many years seemed to be about to move......

……

Outside the city.

Shen Tan didn't wait for Meng Da, but unexpectedly waited for the 6,000 Cao army led by Xiahou Shang.

Xiahou Shang led the troops in the north of Shangyong City, and the Shen Tan army camped three miles away.

After learning the news, the overjoyed Shen Tan hurriedly went to Cao's military camp, and even went alone to show his sincerity.

"King Wei's criminal minister, Shangyong is too guarded by Shen Tan, and he has seen General Xiahou." Shen Tan bowed his hand and gave a deep salute, he deliberately did not mention Lao Liu Feng's general of the expedition to the north, and only saluted the identity of the mediocre and too guarded.

Xiahou Shang was actually very disgusted with this kind of repeated villain in his heart, but he also knew that the three counties were very important, and if the king of Wei wanted to control the three counties, he must rely on the power of the Shen family in this place.

Therefore, he was very enthusiastic, and the smile on his face was bold and friendly, without any flaws.

Xiahou Shang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "You don't have to be like this, even if you are forced by Liu Bei's power to temporarily make a mistake, you still don't forget the grace of King Wei in your heart." This is indeed a model of loyal ministers and righteous men, what is the crime? Ha ha. ”

Shen Tan also smiled when he heard this: "King Wei's great grace, don't dare to forget it for a moment." Now that the imperial court has finally ushered in the heavenly soldiers here, just to take the upper class, the three counties can be restored, which is really the luck of the people of the three counties. ”

The two laughed and looked very enthusiastic.

How sincere they can have in each other's hearts is only known to them.

Of course, for them, the sincerity of the other party ...... It really doesn't matter.

After a few words narrowed the apparent distance between the two sides, Xiahou Shang began to ask about business.

"Envoy, when I first arrived with the army, I don't know what the situation of the three counties is now?"

Shen hurriedly said: "Then Liu Feng got the news from somewhere, and took the lead. But I have already led 10,000 troops from Xicheng to besiege the city, so Liu Feng can only rely on his 3,000 men to fight the trapped beasts.

"I have sent someone to inform Fangling Mengda to bring troops to converge, and now with the help of the general, Shangyong will definitely be broken!"

Xiahou Shang nodded: "Okay, in this case, the three counties are just around the corner." ”

"Liu Feng took the lead in making trouble, Shuzhong didn't know the details of this matter, and he could use it." Shen Tan sneered again, "I have sent someone to Hanzhong for help, saying that Liu Feng led the army to rebel." If Wei Yanzhong is in the middle of the plan, the general and I should cooperate inside and outside, and we can break his army! At that time, Hanzhong will lose troops and generals, and the king of Wei will be able to make great achievements. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Xiahou Shang was not too excited, but was vigilant: "Make your clever plan, if this thing is successful, make you remember a great achievement." ”

He was thinking in his heart whether this Shen Tan was really surrendering or a fraudulent surrender.

Don't talk about pit the Hanzhong Army with him, but in fact, you are ready to pit yourself with the Hanzhong Army?

Although this Shen Tan is not Mi Fang's veteran who has been with Liu Bei for a long time, it is impossible to be so loyal to Liu Bei, he also believes in the work done by Huan Jie.

But Lu Meng was really unjustly defeated and died too miserably, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of this person, and he was careful that there was no big mistake.

"Sharing worries for the King of Wei is a matter of delay. Hahaha. Shen Tan smiled, and said casually, "The soldiers under Tan's command were originally small people in the mountains and wilderness, and they were not accustomed to battle formations and were not restrained, so it was really difficult to compare with the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court."

"Shangyong has no high walls and strong walls, but it has not been able to be captured so far, which is really ashamed. If the soldiers have arrived today, they will definitely be able to win the mediocrity in one fell swoop! Belch...... I don't know which gate General Xiahou wants to attack? ”

Xiahou Shang couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this, what he said was better than what he sang.

Your Shen family has been entrenched here for many years, and it was even taken advantage of by that Liu Feng and took advantage of the mediocrity.

It's nothing more than the fear that after the first incident, the King of Wei's reinforcements will suffer losses before they arrive.

All you think about is your own interests, but now you want me to help you wipe this gutter? When I was Xiahou Shang, what kind of person was I?

How could his 6,000 elite soldiers be used to siege the city?

"Hey, you're too humble. I see that the corporal under the command of the envoy is also very brave, and it is only a matter of time before he wins the mediocrity. Xiahou Shang's smile remained unchanged, and said, "Okay, since the envoy said so, the general will supervise the war between the north and the east gates, and help the monarch break the city as soon as possible!" ”

Xiahou Shang had insight into Shen Tan's thoughts, and Shen Tan naturally did not miss the word "governor" in Xiahou Shang's words.

How to fight the north gate and the east gate, he Xiahou Shang has the final say.

Siege man, you come out.

The corners of Shen Tan's mouth twitched, but it was not unexpected to him, if he wanted to enter the circle of the upper class, he had to pay some price.

He once surrendered Liu Bei without resistance, and it was impossible for Cao Jun to point against him, and the letter of nomination always had to be handed over.

Shen Tan didn't say anything more, and arched his hand: "In this case, I will give the order to go down, and the siege troops at the north gate and east gate will obey the general's orders." When Shangyong is captured and Liu Feng is captured, he will have a good time with the general. Leave! ”

"Let the king go slowly, the military affairs are busy, and I will not send it far."

Sending Shen Tan away, Xiahou Shang instructed: "Order the soldiers to assemble the thunderbolt cart as soon as possible and transport it to the front, and when the thunderbolt arrives, it will be convenient for the north and east gates to attack." ”

"Yes!"

Although people can't do the work of climbing the wall first, they still need to support the siege equipment.

Shen Tan, who returned to the barracks, also immediately sent an order to go down, prepare the improvised ladders, crashing wood and other things, and prepare the west gate to attack the city!

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
