Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 148 The Siege of Shangyong
"Brother, Shen Qian reported that our trilogy has been practicing tirelessly recently, and we are ready to fight at any time, just waiting for brother's order."

In the Shen family's old house in the west city, Shen Yi reported the situation of Buqu's family to Shen Dan who was writing a letter.

Shen Dan kept writing, nodded and said: "When I finish writing three letters, send people to Chengdu, Hanzhong Weiyan, and Fangling Mengda respectively."

Sending a letter to Meng Da, Shen Yi can understand, tell him to attack Shangyong, but why send a letter to Chengdu and Hanzhong?

Shen Yi asked out the doubts in her heart, and Shen Tan smiled and said: "Although that bastard Liu Feng took advantage of you and me to take advantage of Shangyong, he did a good deed. Now before we start trouble, he will act first, that's right." Reported in Hanzhong and Chengdu.

"It is said that he was dissatisfied with the rewards after the war in Jingzhou, and he insisted on asking us for money, food and goods. We have followed him, but he is still greedy. Seeing that he can't follow, he will recklessly go to war, attack his colleagues, and occupy Shangyong.

"If you commit crimes like this, if you want to get rid of Shen's family and enrich yourself, and hold troops to occupy the city, how is it different from rebellion and rebellion? Wei Yan will send troops to come when he sees it.

"At that time, if King Wei has sent troops here, we can help him eat the reinforcements from Hanzhong. If he is unprepared, his soldiers will be defeated. If we can help Cao Wei regain Hanzhong, it will be a great contribution for you and me!
"If Cao's army doesn't come, I will insist that Liu Feng is in trouble. With Meng Da's rhetoric, I will be able to trick reinforcements into attacking Liu Feng with me, and we will act according to circumstances..."

The more Shen Yi heard it, the more excited she became, she slapped her thigh and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! Brother, this time, no matter whether Cao Jun comes or not, my Shen family can reap the benefits."

……

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

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

He saw this person walking in a hurry, his eyes glanced around occasionally, and his hands touched his waist from time to time, his behavior was quite weird.

The shadow guard rolled his eyes and quietly walked to the front.

The messenger from Shen's family was rushing to the city's east pier when a black figure suddenly rushed out from the corner and collided with the unsuspecting him.

"Ouch!"

The Shen family felt as if they had hit a wall and sat down on the ground.

Looking up, a big and gentle man stretched out his hand nervously: "Are you all right?"

"You bastard, don't you have eyes?!"

The big fool quickly helped him up, patted the dirt on his body, bowed his fists and said apologetically, "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so I'm in a hurry, so don't blame me."

The Shen family snorted coldly: "Hmph! If I hadn't had important matters to attend to, I would definitely not have divorced you today!"

In his desperation, he never thought that he was a private soldier of the Shen family anyway, how could he be knocked over by an ordinary man, but the other party didn't move at all...

After finishing speaking, he touched his waist and found nothing unusual, so he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Only then did the big fool straighten up, and ran in another direction with an anxious expression on his 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 merchant with a stall.

After discussing the price with the street vendor, taking advantage of the opportunity to buy something, the big fool handed over a kit.

Nashen's family would never have dreamed of the brocade bags around their waists, but at this moment they had turned into tattered sackcloths full of the smell of sweat.

Of course, the idiot didn't expect that the experience of chicken-crowing and dog-robbing that he has been ashamed of since he followed the prince would come in handy one day.

It's been a long time since I returned to my old job, and my skills don't seem to be unfamiliar. After all, I used to make a living by doing this...

Not long after, the kit came to Shen Zhong's hands, and after opening it contained several pieces of cloth with words written all over it.

"Hey!" Shen Zhong, who had read the letter, sighed angrily.

The letter stated that Liu Feng had taken the lead and occupied Shangyong, and informed Meng Da to send troops to fight together.

He also told whether Cao Jun came or not, and the countermeasures he thought of.

Shen Zhong really didn't expect that Liu Feng would strike as soon as he left.

It's no wonder that when I arrived in Xicheng, I found that the Shen family brothers had also come. It turned out that they wanted to mobilize private soldiers to prepare the army for war.

He also blamed himself at this time, knowing that Liu Feng was impulsive and reckless, maybe he should think of a safer way to deal with it instead of letting Liu Feng take the lead.

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

"Hurry up, the prince should have arrived in Hanzhong, maybe on his way, report this matter to the prince!"

"Yes!"

……

After Shen Dan sent out several letters, he prepared for one day, and together with Shen Yi, he led his private soldiers to Shangyong the next day.

Since they made a move in this battle, they had to win. They not only ordered [-] private soldiers, but also summoned [-] civilians to accompany the army.

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

Those families depended on the Shen family for their livelihood, so they dared not refuse to do so.

The Shen family's army marched to Shangyong, and continued to call for bravery in the counties and villages in the mountains along the way.

When the army landed in the south of Shangyong City, there were nearly [-] people.

Shangyong City was facing the river to the south, and Shen Dan led his army to block the north, west, and east gates, but they did not get close to the battle yet.

"I am Shen Dan, the general who conquered the North! Where is Liu Feng, the traitor general? Come forward and answer!" Shen Dan shouted loudly on a short-legged horse under Shangyong City.

Liu Feng, who was standing on the top of the wall, was furious: "Bah! You are a repeated villain, secretly contacting Cao Wei, intending to betray the Lord and seek glory! If you don't commit suicide and apologize now, what face do you have to come here to see me!"

"Hehe, it's all for you to ask for money repeatedly, but you dare to offend your superiors and lead your army to rebellion! You are so shameless and defamed us. Now that our army has arrived, if you don't open the city to subdue the law, when will you wait?"

Of course, the two of them didn't expect that a few words before the battle could make the other side surrender.

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

Even if you are really a repeated villain, you still need to find some fig leaf, otherwise the soldiers under your hands will be discouraged before the fight.

This point is extremely important, even in later generations. Stealing oil cannot be said to be stealing oil directly, but to fight for freedom for the oppressed local people, which is in line with the righteousness.

Then Shen Dan set up camp near Shangyong, and ordered the army to rest for a while, while Min Zhuang cut down trees and made simple siege equipment.

As soon as Meng Da's army comes to meet up, they will attack Shangyong by force!

"General! The Shendan army outside the city has set up camp and is ordering people to go into the mountains to cut trees."

As the soldiers approached the city, Liu Feng was very calm on the cover: "The city defense will be carried out according to my previous arrangement. The food and grass in the city are sufficient, so he can attack for several months without worrying about it. Set aside manpower and keep an eye on the officials and people in the city.

"If anyone dares to approach the city gates, supplies, grain storage and other important military sites without authorization, and refuses to obey, he will be killed!"

"Yes!"

With previous lessons learned, Liu Feng now maintains strong vigilance against all locals.

In three days, five sneaky people were beheaded and killed, and their corpses were left on the street, which finally shocked the city of Shangyong.

The Shen family can take advantage of the fact that there are no loopholes in the city defense.

Although Liu Feng was annoyed at his recklessness, he wanted to show it but it was self-defeating, but he was not too worried if he said he was worried.

None of the ordinary civilians recruited by the Shen family had any armor, and they were purely disposable consumables that consumed the stamina of the defenders during the siege.

There are only 3000 people who really count 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 nonsense.

Even if Meng Da led an army to help, the total would only be [-] soldiers.

The "supreme plan" food and grass given by Shen's family is of great use at this time, as long as he keeps it, he will be relieved when the prince is in crisis.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the scouts he had sent before returned by raft and quietly returned to the city through the south gate.

"General, there are many ships coming one after another on the river outside the north of the county! The flags and flags of the ships are definitely not ordinary civilian caravans. Although the flags have not been clearly seen yet, it is expected that Cao Wei's soldiers will arrive!"

Liu Feng's face darkened: "Investigate again and report again!"

"Yes!"

……

On the Mian River, a general stood on the boat.

This man was in his thirties, tall and handsome, with a tall and straight figure. He was the main general of Cao Jun this time-Xia Houshang (word Boren).

He is a veritable "second generation". Although he had never been in charge of his own affairs before, he was often brought by Cao Cao's side like Cao Rui to observe marches and battles on the spot. He was not an idiot who knew nothing about warfare.

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

He is determined to win this battle.

"Ah Yue, just wait patiently. After I win, I will go back to see you immediately."
