Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 149 Use all the tricks to make money in West City

That Ah Yue was not Xia Houshang's wife, but a concubine.

Xia Houshang's official wife is Cao Cao's righteous daughter, so the marriage was naturally arranged for political marriage, which is very common.

However, Xia Houshang already had a desire to belong to her, but because the other party was just an ordinary girl from a small family, she couldn't be married by an official matchmaker, so she was not qualified to be Xia Houshang's official wife.

It might be fine to change to someone else, but how much does it cost to be a woman in his capacity?

But Xia Houshang did not. Not long after he married his wife, he took this woman in as a concubine. He loved and respected each other like a guest, and never treated her as a concubine.

Even during this expedition, he was still wearing the flocked sweater that Ah Yue wove for him, while the tiger fur fur his wife bought for him at a huge price was thrown at home...

"General, the land of the three counties is dangerous, and the Shu army has taken advantage of it. The soldiers seem to be quite concerned about this..."

The words of joining the army brought him back to God from A Yue's smiling face.

Xia Houshang laughed when he heard the words: "Because of occupying all the advantages of the land, Liu Feng's generation thinks they can sit back and relax, and they don't know that we will attack this place. What's more, we still have internal responses, so why worry about it. Forget it, wait for our army to board Shore, I should boost morale."

Xia Houshang led [-] elite soldiers from the branch of Mianshui to the south and entered the blocking water, winding all the way to the Yong.

At the same time, Liu Chan led two thousand red star troops and entered the border of Xicheng County from the west.

Because the situation in the three counties ahead was unclear at this time, Liu Chan and the others originally planned to go ashore when they were 40 miles away from Xicheng County, and sent out scouts to investigate the situation in Xicheng. On the one hand, they also waited for any new news from the Shadow Guards.

As a result, they had just entered the boundary of Xicheng County, and before landing, they encountered the shadow guard who came to report.

"Brother has already made a move?" Liu Chan frowned slightly, but thinking about it, it really looks like his style.

"Yes."

Liu Chan sighed secretly at first, this matter was done too hastily and too rough, now that he lost the opportunity, he couldn't kill the matter in the cradle.

If it can be solved without fighting, it is natural that the biggest benefit is not to fight.

However, no one is perfect, and he is born with such a personality, so he cannot be expected to plan and act after making decisions like Uncle Zhuge.

It's just... It seems that in the future, he will have to be assigned a counselor, and he must be able to persuade him, how can he bear it all the time.

"There is still a letter intercepted here that the Shen family intends to send to Meng Da, please have a look at it, Prince."

Liu Chan took the letter and read it carefully, first frowned, then gradually relaxed, and finally couldn't help it...

"Hehehe."

Ma Chao looked blankly at Guan Xing, Li Er and the others, hoping to see some clues from the faces of these people who had been with the prince for a long time.

How come you laughed again before the battle was fought?

It's a pity that what he saw on the other's face was the same bewilderment.

"Prince...why are you laughing this time?" Guan Xing couldn't help asking.

Liu Chan shook his head with a smile, and pointed at the letter with his finger: "Gu Xiao Shen Dan's plan is very clever, it's really a clever plan, haha. Come, everyone, come and see it together."

He handed the letter to Ma Chao first, Ma Chao frowned and said, "This man is very clever at turning black and white. If the prince hadn't seen the opportunity first, I'm afraid he would really be deceived by him."

But for a while, he didn't see how ridiculous the letter was.

Now that the Shen family has led their troops to attack Shangyong, although Meng Da has not received the letter, it has only delayed the time for their rendezvous. He will not wait foolishly in Fangling.

Cao Wei is also likely to send reinforcements over, but there are only 2000 people on his side... To be honest, he already feels that it may be safer to move to Hanzhong to rescue the soldiers.

Others had their own thoughts after circulating it, but they still didn't see anything ridiculous.

"Prince, we really don't know what's so ridiculous about this letter." Guan Xing shook his head and said, "Just say it straight."

Liu Chan said with a smile: "That Shen Dan didn't know that the action was under our control, and he sent a letter to Hanzhong to move the rescuers. This saved us a lot of trouble and death."

The others had different expressions after saying this, as if they were all thinking, but they hadn't figured it out yet.

"At first, I was still wondering whether it would be worthwhile to attack the western city while his army was transferred out. Now, we are the rescuers from Hanzhong. What kind of city should we attack? Just go into the city with a big swagger. Everyone said, Shen Yan's plan Isn't it wonderful? Ah? Hahaha..."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Guan Xing said with a smile: "The prince's plan, but let Shen Dan spend a lot of time making wedding clothes for me, that's a wonderful thing. Haha."

[Guan Xing Favorability +5] (65)

Although Ma Chao didn't speak, there was appreciation in his eyes.

Adapting to the changing circumstances and making the best use of the situation, this young man is indeed extremely alert, and he can take care of the overall situation according to what Hanzhong saw... I just don't know how good his martial arts are, and whether he can lead the way.

[Ma Chao favorability +3] (46)

[Ding Feng favorability +5] (45)

After everyone agreed, they no longer docked in advance, and sailed directly to the west city.

Walking to the pier, all the soldiers put on their armor and armed themselves, and landed one after another.

After gathering on the shore, they headed straight to the west city in a swaggering manner.

"Marquis Jun, an elite group has arrived from outside the city! It seems that there are two to three thousand people."

The general of the Shen family who was in charge of guarding the west city was sleeping soundly on the couch in the afternoon, when he was suddenly woken up by this sound, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

But the drowsiness was immediately frightened away, how much, two or three thousand?
Liu Feng abandoned Shangyong and didn't want it, so he called here?It shouldn't be.

"Do you know who is coming?" The general asked hurriedly.

"It looks like Hanzhong soldiers and horses. Their army is moving slowly, and it doesn't look like they want to attack us."

The family general immediately felt relieved when he heard the words, and then he said with a little joy: "It should be the reinforcements that the Patriarch said have arrived, and they came so fast. You hurry up and prepare what you need for the labor force, and I will go to the city to have a look."

When this person hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, the Scarlet Star Army had already lined up outside the city.

The army formation is neat, everyone is wearing armor, there are many swords and guns, and the flags are flying... There are still more than a hundred cavalry.

What an "elite", really worthy of these two words.

Looking intently, there is a big word "horse" written on the waving flag.

"I don't know which general is coming from outside the city?"

Following Liu Chan's orders, Ma Chao urged his horse forward slowly, and said loudly, "I am the left general of the great Han Dynasty, and so is Ma Chao from Xiliang. Specially lead elite soldiers to support Shen Dan, General Zhengbei!"

If people here first heard that the crown prince appeared here, he was afraid that it would cause many questions and troubles.

So Liu Chan simply put away his Liu character banner and asked Ma Chao to come forward to answer.

How could the city guard not know Ma Chao's name?
Hearing Ma Chao's arrival, he was overjoyed and said loudly, "I don't know that General Shenweitian came here in person. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful. General, please lead the army to camp outside the city. We will serve the laborers with wine, meat, rice and food as soon as possible!"

Unexpectedly, when Ma Chao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, raised his gun and reprimanded: "It's unreasonable!"

This roar was as domineering as before, and the city's military commander was startled.

what happened?
"I led the army to cross mountains and rivers to this point. The soldiers are exhausted. How can we fight if we don't have a good rest?! It's still cold, how dare you let me camp outside the city?" Ma Chao angrily said, "This is how Shen Dan treats the reinforcements. Attitude?

"If this causes my loss of soldiers and generals and affects the situation of the battle, can the Rushen family afford it? Open the city gate quickly!"

"Ah, this..." The garrison guard hesitated.

Shen Dan only kept 500 songs to guard the west city. After all, it is the old nest that has been in operation for many years, and the city can recruit more people at any time.

And right now, he thinks that he has not broken his face with Liu Bei, so he would never have thought that the west city near Hanzhong would be in any danger.

It is even more impossible for him to tell the people below all the true thoughts in his heart. This military lord only said this because he had few soldiers guarding the city and was cautious by nature.

At this time, Ma Chao frightened him, and after thinking about it, the Patriarch didn't say that reinforcements were not allowed to enter the city, so he immediately softened.

"General, calm down, calm down, I really didn't think carefully this time, so let's open the city!" The military marquis turned his head and said angrily behind him: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly! What are you doing in a daze!"

Looking at the city gate that was gradually opening, Liu Chan, who was hidden at the head of the cavalry, smiled.

Ma Chao's name is really useful in this land.

When old Liu was outside the city of Chengdu and saw Liu Zhang being frightened by Ma Chao and voluntarily leaving the city to surrender, he was probably happier than he is now.

After Lao Liu, Liu Chan also avoided a vicious siege in the name of Ma Chao.

As far as the Red Star Army he trained, if hundreds of people died in the siege... Even if he dug up the Shen family ancestor's grave, dug out the bones and fed them to the dogs one by one, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Ma Chao swaggered into the city on the same Lifeisha with his head held high.

I don't know if this guy did it on purpose, but when he passed by a soldier guarding the city, he snorted suddenly, which startled the man...

The military marquis came down from the tower, clasped his fists with a smiling face, and saluted: "I have heard about the general's name for a long time, today..."

"I don't like such tedious greetings." Ma Chao interrupted coldly, "Xicheng is guarding the gate of Hanzhong. Why are these people the only ones in your defense?"

"Uh... The head of the family has led the main force to attack Shangyong, and Liu Feng is unable to divide his troops so far. It is expected that the west city will be safe..."

"Just a joke, if Liu Feng has secretly communicated with Cao Wei, and the northern soldiers arrive, so what?"

"This……"

"Fortunately, I have led the troops here, so that no catastrophe will be caused. Chai Rong!"

"The end is here."

"Lead people to strengthen the city defense quickly, without delay."

"Yes!"

According to what Liu Chan said earlier, Ma Chao made the city defense deployment with lightning speed, and then continued to lead his army to station in the west city.

Chai Rong walked over to the bewildered Junhou who obviously hadn't realized what happened.

Putting his shoulders on his shoulders with a smile, he said, "With us taking over the city defense today, you will be safe, hahaha."

The military marquis was heavily hooped around his shoulders, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

But the man before was clearly Ma Chao, and he didn't find any problem, so he could only squeeze out an awkward but impolite smile: "Hehehe, uh, then I will thank you all."

"It's easy to say, hahaha..."
