Meng Daqiang endured the urge to urinate, even said and sweared, and swore by a gambling curse, which finally dispelled Xiahou Shang's doubts.

Now calm down and think about it, if they colluded with the Shu army and planned to trap themselves, Liu Feng, who was Liu Bei's false son, really didn't need to risk his life.

If it weren't for Liu Chan coming to the rescue in time, Liu Feng would probably be dead now, not like he had planned in advance.

Some Xiahou Shang, who regretted withdrawing the army, also told his own experience, and Shen Tan vowed to trap and kill the Hanzhong reinforcements with him, saying that he must be defenseless.

He Xiahou Shang was in the north of the city at that time, and Shen Tan was in the west of the city, but Ma Chao, who came from the west, led a hundred horsemen to cross Shen Tan, and without saying a word, he directly assaulted his military array!

"At that time, I only felt that Na Shen was fooling me, and I was worried that I would be hit by a counterattack, so I retreated." Xiahou Shang sighed, "Now it seems that the Zhongshu army is scheming." ”

Xu Huang nodded and said: "It is impossible for the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong to bypass Xicheng and appear in Shangyong, and it is also appropriate for Boren to be cautious." It's just that it seems that Xicheng may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

Meng Da exclaimed: "Xicheng is the foundation of the Shen family, if it is lost, the Shen brothers have become a lonely army." To the east, there is a water blockage, and the forced crossing will definitely suffer heavy losses, and there is no way back to the west...... Isn't it dangerous? ”

"We don't know how many reinforcements Hanzhong has sent, and in the worst case, I'm afraid that the Shen family army has already been defeated." Xu Huang said, "For today's plan, we should camp on the east bank of the blocked water, send people to find out the reality of the enemy's army, and then make a decision." ”

Meng Da said: "There are many people here under the command of the last general, who can take on this responsibility. ”

"In this way, there is General Lao Mengda. It is also helpless for a party to speak out and temptation, so don't blame it if you are offended. Xiahou Shang arched his hand.

Meng Da was flattered and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, this is a prudent move, how can the last general be blamed." ”

Xiahou Shang nodded, then turned to Xu Huang and said: "General Gongming, now that I think about it, Ma Chao led a hundred horsemen to raid, which should be to cover Liu Chan. And that Liu Chan rode alone into our army's formation, although he did have the courage of ten thousand people, I am afraid it was also due to the lack of troops.

"I've joined forces now, if we cross the water and kill back and rescue the Shen family, maybe we can annihilate the Hanzhong reinforcements in one fell swoop?"

Xu Huang pondered for a moment and said: "It's not proper, there are still Liu Feng's 3,000 defenders in Shangyong City, and the Shen family is full of private soldiers and young people, and if they suddenly encounter a surprise attack, the army will inevitably be in turmoil." If the defenders in Shangyong City take advantage of this...... Perhaps it has been defeated.

"If this is the case, the enemy army will inevitably lie in ambush on the west bank, and when our army crosses the river, it is better to find out first. At the same time, it was deployed on the east bank to prevent the Shu army from crossing the river and raiding first. ”

After discussion, the three finally agreed to Xu Huang's plan, and the army set up camp on a high point on the east bank.

……

Inside the city.

"Our army should send people to ambush on the west bank in advance, and if Cao's army wants to cross the water and attack Shangyong, it can wait for it to cross the river and attack it in Bandu." Guan Xing pointed to the map.

Liu Chan nodded: "That's right, Vice General Wang, this matter will be arranged by you." ”

"The last general commands!"

"Li Er."

"The end will be."

"Quickly send capable scouts to find out the situation of Cao's army on the east coast."

"Yes!"

What to do now, such as sending a few people to go with you, some to rest, some to watch, some to report, regular rotation, and so on...... These details no longer need Liu Chan to bother with words.

Hu Li walked in at this time, hugged his fists and said: "Prince Yu, the enemy general has asked out, the main general's name is Xiahou Shang, and the deputy general Xu Huang." ”

Xiahou Shang ...... I don't know much about myself.

I only remember that it was Cao Pi's henchman, one of the princelings, who seemed to have some ability.

But Xu Huang is familiar and can't be more familiar, since the first battle of Guandu 20 years ago, he has come to prominence, conquered the east and the west, and made a lot of achievements.

Just recently, he just seized the fighter plane, led the recruits to drive straight into the ten-fold antlers, and broke through the position of the second uncle.

The opponent is not the one who will send warmth, and if you want to break the enemy, you need to go all out.

And his own troops do not have an advantage, and the two cities in the rear are still full of hidden dangers, and they need to send heavy troops to defend them, how can they break the enemy?

Under the heavy pressure of the siege, there is even a possibility of chaos inside.

This issue must be addressed first.

It's hard to say, it's easy to say, but it's actually very simple.

If the Shen brothers are in the hands of Cao Jun, even if they have subdued the two cities by force now, as long as they see that Cao Jun is strong, I am afraid that there will be chaos inside.

However, the Shen brothers are now in their own hands...... So is the West Side.

"Vice General Wang, there is still something you need to do." Liu Chan lightly tapped his finger at the case, "The local people in the army, the representatives of the families who still have some strength in Xicheng and Shangyong Second Counties, as well as the leaders of the Qiang tribe, have all invited Shangyong. ”

"Yes."

"Note that please, don't use force. Just tell them that now that the Shen brothers and Xicheng are in my hands, they will be willing to come. ”

"The last general commands."

The plan has been decided, and now it depends on how Cao Jun makes a move.

After several days, the two sides confronted each other across the water, and did not launch an attack for the time being.

Although Cao Jun already knew that there were only more than 1,000 reinforcements from the Shu army to fight Shangyong, he also knew that these more than 1,000 people cooperated with the 3,000 defenders in the city and defeated nearly 10,000 troops and young and strong people of the Shen family army in one fell swoop......

Although they didn't see the details with their own eyes, if these more than 1,000 people couldn't pose enough threat to the Shen family army that was besieging the city, then the defenders in Shangyong City would have no chance to attack at all.

Therefore, General Cao Jun is engaged in a heated discussion on how to advance westward.

On the other hand, the "Joint Meeting of Clan Heads" in Xicheng and Shangyong Two Counties was also successfully held in the Shen family's mansion in Shangyong City.

Although the Shen family has thousands of shady households in these two places and has dominated for many years, he is not the only one in the two counties after all.

Other families and tribes were squeezed out of the development space by the Shen family, and they did not dare and had no way to resist the authority of the Shen family, and if they wanted to survive and reproduce here, they could only rely on the Shen family.

But now it's different.

"See the Prince."

Everyone bowed in unison, and Liu Chan bowed his hand in return and invited everyone to sit down.

"I wonder if it is presumptuous for Lone to invite you here today?"

A middle-aged man immediately laughed and said, "Don't be presumptuous, how can you be presumptuous!" When we heard that the prince was coming, we all had the heart to come to visit, but we only hated the low status and did not dare to disturb the prince. Now it is a blessing for us to invite the prince. ”

His land is in Xicheng County, and his house is also in Xicheng.

Before being invited this time, Ding Feng and Chai Rong had already "visited" his home.

Although Qiu did not commit any crimes, nor did he threaten to beat him, he only kindly publicized to him the betrayal of the Shen family and the wisdom and benevolence of the crown prince.

But including Ding Feng and Chai Rong, those soldiers were all tall and wolf-like, and the murderous aura of the silent soldiers made him still have palpitations......

A large family is still under the control of others, and he naturally knows how to speak.

Liu Chan smiled and nodded, and then his expression was straight, and he went straight to the topic: "I invite you to come here today, it is for the Shen family." The Shen brothers were favored by their father's high-ranking officials, but they didn't want to repay the service, and they wanted to rebel! The evidence is conclusive, and you can see it. ”

Subsequently, he handed over the handwritten letter written by Shen Tan to Meng Da to everyone for circulation.

Everyone who read the letter scolded the Shen family for being disloyal and unjust, and the crowd was indignant, and it took a while to calm down.

Of course, Liu Chan knew that this was a coy gesture, the situation was stronger than people, and his army controlled the two places, and now even if he Liu Chan said that the earth was round, these people could only stubbornly agree.

But this step is still important for his plans for the future.

If these people think that they are forcibly eradicating the Shen family by force, they will not feel safe.

Today, I can destroy the Shen family at will, and tomorrow I can destroy any of them at will.

Once they have that idea, they don't really support themselves.

After everyone quieted down again, Liu Chan said: "And after the investigation of Lone, I learned that the Shen family has dominated the two counties for many years, rampant in the township, fish and flesh people, and has also suppressed you a lot. This time, he was punished for several crimes, and he reported to his father, punished him for his first evil, and moved his family. ”

"That's exactly how it should be!"

"Yes, yes, the Shen family has been rampant for many years, and it deserves this retribution."

"The prince is wise."

Liu Chan pressed his hands and said solemnly: "The ill-gotten gains obtained by the Shen family for many years should be confiscated, and the fields and forests they occupy should also be confiscated by the government according to the law." ”

Although everyone still said yes again and again, they were obviously not as enthusiastic as Fang Cai, and their attitudes were cold.

In their hearts, they all went to the Shen family, and then came to the Liu family, and for them, life would not change at all.

It's just that from giving gifts to the Shen family to paying tribute, it has become a matter of paying taxes to the Liu family.

Glancing at everyone's expressions, the fire was almost over.

Liu Chan changed his previous majesty and solemnity, and said with a gentle smile: "It's just...... Gu Nian and you have been robbed by the Shen family for many years, and there should be a lot of losses. Today, I am willing to take out his four fields and forests, and divide them equally with you as compensation. How is it? ”

Human temperament always likes to reconcile and compromise, for example, if you say that the house is too dark and you must open a window, everyone must not allow it. But if you want to tear down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows.

If he said that he planned to give them forty percent of the Shen family's land and land as soon as he came up, maybe some people would be too little, even if they didn't dare to bargain with him, they might not be a little grateful.

Now it is different, Liu Chan first said that according to the rules, all should be confiscated, and then said that the forty percent is to understand you, it is an exception, and it is a gift from my Liu family.

As soon as everyone heard that they could divide into forty percent, they immediately became excited, and praised Liu Chanren for his wisdom and wisdom, and he had the style of being a father and a king in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Chan is also very happy, bait is such a thing, if it is scattered, it will definitely be eaten.

If fish are like this, human nature may not be much stronger.
