The burlap bags made by the women of Shangyong, loaded with earth, stone and sediment, were successively transported to the upper reaches of the water-blocking river, filled into the river, and the upstream water was stored, and the water level in the downstream gradually decreased.

In order not to startle the snakes, the progress of the project was deliberately slowed down, so that the water level only dropped a little every day, and tried to show the illusion of a drop in the water level during the dry season.

In addition, it is indeed the tail of the dry period now, and Liu Chan used his example as bait, relying on the temptation of great merit to divert the attention of the enemy, so that he has today's results.

Although the water blockage during the dry period could not form the terrifying power of flooding the Seventh Army, the cooperation with the ambush still severely defeated the Cao army.

Liu Chan, who returned to Shangyong, immediately began the deployment of the next offensive plan.

"First of all, Meng Da, his 4,000 men, as a local army, should be doing the most dangerous work, but it is not he who is lying in ambush on the shore today...... There must be something strange about this. Liu Chan poked the steamed cake in front of him with chopsticks.

He hadn't eaten steamed cakes for many years in his previous life, and without him, there were too many delicacies to choose from, and it was impossible to take this thing.

But in this era, this kind of soft food that is steamed after fermentation can even be used to show off wealth......

Ma Chao also stopped his chopsticks when he heard this, frowned and said, "Maybe Meng Da is not here, and he has already led other troops to set off." ”

"Lone also thinks so." Liu Chan nodded, "But where will he lead his troops?" ”

Ma Chao groaned: "Maybe he found out that Guan Anguo attacked Fangling, so he returned to the army to attack?" ”

Liu Chan shook his head: "If Cao Jun finds traces of An Guo, he will not only send Meng Da there. ”

“…… It is exactly as the prince said. If this is the case, in front of the two armies today, the enemy army may say that Anguo has been defeated and killed, and the hearts of our army will not be completely unresponsive. Ma Chao shook his head again and smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid they didn't expect anything, both sides want to lure the enemy." ”

Do you want to lure the enemy?

Liu Chan suddenly frowned, and his gaze returned to the map of the three counties again.

Look at the water system that runs through the three counties.

"Meng Daruo also led his troops to attack Xicheng......"

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard what Liu Chan said, but it was not impossible to think about it carefully.

"Yes or no, you and I don't have to guess here." Liu Chan stood up, "Go and find the commander of the Cao army and ask." ”

……

The place where Xiahou Shang was imprisoned was in the firewood room in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, which was already much better than other prisoners of war, and it was regarded as the treatment of a luxurious single room.

When Liu Chan and Ma Chao entered, he was in a daze at a sachet.

The sachet was not of the highest quality in terms of workmanship, and it was hard to imagine that it would be a personal item for someone like him.

Liu Chan stared at it carefully, raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"This sachet is good."

Suddenly hearing Liu Chan's voice, Xiahou Shang was excited, and hurriedly put the sachet into his sleeve and put up a dead face again.

"General Xiahou, now that you have been captured, if you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, I advise you to answer the question obediently." Liu Chan held a horsewhip in his hand, kept knocking on the palm of his other hand, and laughed like a big villain.

Liu Chan has already understood the identity of this person, he is not only a member of the Xiahou family, but also a loyal princeling who is deeply valued by Cao Pi, it is absolutely impossible to surrender by himself, it is better to try to see if he can ask for useful information.

"Hmph." Xiahou Shang sneered, looking disdainful, and didn't bother to say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Chan turned his back and raised his hand, and he was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Does the general know that there is a kind of punishment in this world, cutting people with hundreds or thousands of knives, and inflicting torture for a long time before causing people to die?" Before that, can the tortured person even stay sober? ”

Xiahou Shang's face turned pale, and he still didn't see timidity, but he finally spoke: "I often hear that Liu Xuande is kind and generous, and when I see his son today, I know that it is really 'worthy of the name'." Hahahaha......"

Choke!

Ma Chao on the side had already pulled out the sword in his waist and put it on Xiahou Shang's neck, Liu Chan was shocked.

It's not that he's surprised that he will draw his sword because of this, but Ma Chao's hand is too fast.

If he hadn't deliberately left his hand, he was afraid that the sword just now would have beheaded Xiahou Shang, and with his own eyesight, he didn't react until he swung the sword more than halfway through......

It's the first time I've seen him use a sword, what kind of name is this hand?

Speaking of which, Ma Chao has also added a lot of swordsmanship talent to himself, and it seems that in this regard, he also has no less attainments than the old man.

"Since you're looking for death, why don't you give you a good time?" Ma Chao said sharply.

Xiahou Shang smiled faintly, hugged his fists and said, "In this way, I still need to thank General Ma." ”

Liu Chan came back to his senses, waved his hand to stop Ma Chao, and then looked at Xiahou Shang, still looking unhurried.

"Meng Da has led his troops to attack Xicheng?"

The sudden direct question made Xiahou Shang chuckle in his heart, but the expression management was still very good, and there was no response.

"Now you are silent, but you don't laugh, which shows that this is true."

"Let you guess." Xiahou Shang's bland reaction was still impeccable.

After two moves, neither worked, Liu Chan suddenly leaned over and squatted in front of him, his tone became gentle, and he didn't have the prince's frame to speak.

"General Xiahou, I won't hide it, if you can't use it for me, you will only have a dead end."

Xiahou Shang had already expected it, and his reaction was still mediocre.

"It's just that people live for a lifetime, and there are always some people who have difficult wishes and some people who are concerned...... For example, if the person who made you that sachet is willing to say, maybe I can help you, but I don't know what I want? ”

【Defense Breaking Trigger】

This is the first time Liu Chan felt happy when he saw these four words.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiahou Shang took a sachet that obviously did not match his identity and was in a daze, there must be something wrong here.

He thought of the old lady, the little flower sac he bought here at the beginning, didn't it also thwart a lot of luxurious things, and became the old lady's favorite thing?

According to Yinping, when she was away, the old lady often held the sachet in a daze.

If Xiahou Shang is also a hard bone, then whether this interrogation can be effective or not may have to fall on this sachet.

Now it seems that at least the direction is right, as for whether he will ask for something because of this, it depends on the will of God.

Xiahou Shang's expression changed for the first time, he grabbed Liu Chan's arms, and his eyes were even bloodshot: "Is this true?!" ”

Seeing this, Ma Chao once again pressed the sword in his hand against his neck, and even cut a shallow bloody wound, which he didn't realize.

It's done.

Liu Chan said solemnly: "I have always done what I say, if I promise you, unless it is difficult to reach the sky, I will do my best." ”

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult...... It's not hard for you at all. Xiahou Shang was a little depressed, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already very firm, "I hope you can send someone to help me deliver a letter to my concubine Ah Yue, but don't be noticed by my wife." ”

Ma Chao's expression immediately became exciting, and Liu Chan also took a lot of effort to hold his expression unchanged.

I thought of everything, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Okay, you will write, Lone promised you as the crown prince of Hanzhong, and this letter will definitely be handed over to Ah Yue."

Xiahou Shang stared at Liu Chan's eyes, he naturally couldn't believe it all, but this was already the only way he could change Ah Yue's fate now.

He knows his wife's temperament, as the righteous daughter of King Wei, once the news of her death is transmitted, the first thing she will do after spending her grief must be to let Ah Yue die in the most cruel way.

He was not afraid of anything, but every time he thought of this result, he shuddered.

After a while, Liu Chan ordered someone to take pen and ink cloth, and Xiahou Shang began to write a letter in front of Liu Chan.

After writing Liu Chan, he naturally wanted to look at it, in case he sent any important information back before he died.

Under this look, Liu Chan's mouth gradually widened, and he looked at Xiahou Shang in disbelief.

There was no important information hidden in the letter, and it was straightforward to explain that after the letter was sealed, it was a true confession to Ah Yue, as well as a promise for life and life, and finally arranged a seamless plan for her to escape from Xiahou's house.

This is no longer pampering concubines...... It's really love.

Liu Chan didn't expect that Xiahou Shang in front of him would be so affectionate.

“…… The depth of the general's affection is admirable. Liu Chan sighed, "I will send a competent person to this letter and hand it over to Ah Yue personally...... If she wants, she can also go to Chengdu with the messenger, and she will be raised by the general alone, and she will not be bullied. ”

Xiahou Shang stared at Liu Chan's face, not letting go of a subtle expression, and was very surprised to see that he seemed to be really moved by himself, and then showed the most sincere smile so far, and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to the prince of Hanzhong." ”

[Xiahou Shang's Opinion +10, +10......]

The +10 prompt in the lower right corner of the field of vision jumped wildly, and Xiahou Shang's favorability went all the way to 50......

【……】

[Xiahou Shang's opinion is 50, equestrian talent +6×2, strategy talent +2×2, and the trait "A Match Made in Heaven" is obtained]

[A match made in heaven]: If you can finally marry your loved one, the heirs born can inherit half of your physique on the basis of their own physique, and choose to inherit up to three talents.

I just wanted to ask for some information, but I didn't want this affectionate general to bring such a harvest to himself......

In the history of Xiahou Shang, because he was obsessed with the concubine room, he was sued by his wife to Cao Pi, and Cao Pi gave the concubine to death. As a result, Xiahou Shang couldn't afford to fall ill because of this, and even ordered someone to dig up the grave and bury it for fear of forgetting her appearance. In the end, he became ill due to longing, couldn't afford to get sick, died young, and died young. At that time, concubines were all the same things, Cao Pi didn't expect this, and cried and regretted afterwards.
