Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 168 Affectionate General Xia Houshang

The sacks made by Shangyong women were filled with earth, rocks and sediment, and were transported to the upper reaches of the Dushui River one after another, where they were filled into the river. The upper reaches were filled with water, and the lower reaches gradually dropped.

In order not to overwhelm the enemy, the progress of the project was deliberately slowed down, so that the water level only dropped a little every day, trying to present the illusion that the water level dropped due to the dry season.

In addition, it is indeed the end of the dry season, and Liu Chan used his body as bait to divert the enemy's attention by relying on the temptation of his great achievements.

Although the water blocking in the dry season could not form the terrifying power of flooding the Seventh Army, the cooperation with the ambush still severely defeated Cao's army.

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

"First of all, Meng Da. His 4000 soldiers are supposed to be doing the most dangerous job as a local army, but he is not the one who ambushed the bank today to feign defeat... There must be something strange about this." Liu Chan poked the steamed cake in front of him with his chopsticks.

In his previous life, he hadn't eaten steamed cakes for many years. Without him, there were too many delicacies to choose from.

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

Hearing this, Ma Chao also stopped his chopsticks, frowned and said, "Perhaps Meng Da is not here, and he has already set off with other troops."

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

Ma Chao mused, "Perhaps he found out that Guan Anguo was attacking Fangling, so he returned to the army to attack?"

Liu Chan shook his head: "If Cao Jun finds out about Anguo, he won't just send Meng Da there."

"...It is exactly as the crown prince said. If it is true, the enemy may say that Anguo has been defeated and died in front of the two armies today, and our army will not be completely unresponsive." Ma Chao shook his head and smiled again, "Speaking of which, they probably didn't expect it. Both sides are trying to lure the enemy."

All want to lure the enemy?

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

Looking at the Mianshui water system that runs through the three counties.

"Meng Daruo also led his troops to attack the West City..."

Ma Chao was surprised when he heard Liu Chan's words, but it is not impossible to think about it carefully.

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

……

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

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

The sachet was not high-quality regardless of its workmanship and materials, so it was hard to imagine that it would be a personal item for a person like him.

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

"This sachet is good."

Hearing Liu Chan's voice suddenly, Xia Houshang was shocked, and quickly put the sachet into his sleeve and put on a dead face again.

"General Xiahou, now that you have been captured, if you don't want to suffer the pain of flesh and blood, I advise you to answer the questions obediently." Liu Chan held a riding whip in his hand, kept tapping the palm of the other hand, and smiled like a big villain.

Liu Chan already knew the identity of this person, he was a member of the Xiahou family, and he was also a loyal princeling who was highly valued by Cao Pi.

"Hmph." Xia Houshang sneered, seeming dismissive, and didn't even bother to say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Chan put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "General, do you know that there is a kind of punishment in this world, where people are cut hundreds of thousands of knives and tortured for a long time before they kill people? Before that, can the person being punished even stay awake?"

Xia Houshang's face turned pale, he still didn't see timidity, but he finally spoke: "I often hear that Liu Xuande is kind and generous. When I saw his son today, I know that he really 'deserves his reputation'. Hahahaha..."

Choke!

Ma Chao on the side had already pulled out the sword from his waist and put it on Xia Houshang's neck. Liu Chan was startled when he saw it.

It's not that he was surprised that he would draw his sword because of this, but that Ma Chao's move was too fast.

If he hadn't deliberately kept his hand, Xia Houshang might have been cut off by the sword just now, but with his own vision, he didn't react until he swung the sword halfway...

It's the first time I've seen him use a sword, what's the name of this hand?
Speaking of which, Ma Chao also added a lot of talent for swordsmanship to himself. It seems that in this respect, he also has the same attainments as the old man.

"Since you're looking for death, why don't someone give you a treat?" Ma Chao snapped.

Xia Houshang smiled lightly, cupped his fists and said, "So, I still need to thank General Ma."

Liu Chan came back to his senses, stopped Ma Chao with a wave of his hand, and then looked at Xia Houshang, still in the same unhurried manner.

"Meng Da led his troops to attack the West City?"

The sudden direct question made Xia Houshang's heart skip a beat, 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 matter is true."

"Let's guess as you please." Xia Houshang's flat reaction was still impeccable.

After the two moves, none of them worked, Liu Chan suddenly leaned over and squatted in front of him, his tone became gentle, and he lost the airs of a prince when he spoke.

"General Xiahou, I won't hide it from you. If you can't use it for me, you will only die."

Xia Houshang had already expected it, and his reaction was still flat.

"It's just that people live forever, and there are always some wishes that are hard to come by. There are some people who are concerned... For example, the person who made you that sachet, if you are willing to say, maybe I can help you, but even a wish is unknown?"

【Break defense trigger】

This was the first time Liu Chan felt happy when he saw these four characters.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Houshang was in a daze with a sachet that obviously didn't fit his identity. There must be something wrong here.

He thought of his old lady. Didn't the little flower pouch he bought casually here defeat all the expensive things and become something that my old lady couldn't put it down?
According to Yinping, when he was not around, the old lady would often hold the sachet in a daze.

If Xia Houshang is also a hard-headed person, then whether the interrogation will be effective or not may depend on the sachet.

Now it seems that at least the direction is right, as for whether he will ask for it, it depends on God's will.

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

Seeing this, the sword in Ma Chao's hand pressed against his neck again, and even drew a shallow bloody mouth, but he didn't seem to notice it.

It became.

Liu Chan said solemnly: "I always keep my promise. If I promise you, I will try my best to do it unless it is difficult."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult...it's not difficult at all for you." Xia Houshang was a little lost, bowed his head in silence for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were very firm. "I hope you can send someone to help me deliver the letter to my concubine, Ayue, but don't let my wife notice."

Ma Chao's expression immediately brightened, and it took a lot of effort for Liu Chan to keep his expression unchanged.

I thought of everything, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing.

"Okay, let me write it down, I will promise you as the Prince of Hanzhong, this letter will definitely be handed over to Ah Yue."

Xia Houshang stared into Liu Chan's eyes, he couldn't believe it completely, but this was the only way he could change Ah Yue's fate now.

He knew his wife's temper. As the adopted daughter of the King of Wei, once the news of her death came back, the first thing she would do after getting over her grief would be to let Ah Yue die in the most cruel way.

He is not afraid of anything, but every time he thinks of this result, he will shudder.

After a while, Liu Chan ordered people to fetch brushes, ink and cloth, and Xia Houshang began to write letters in front of Liu Chan.

After finishing writing, Liu Chan naturally had to look over it, in case he sent any important messages back before he died.

After seeing this, Liu Chan's mouth gradually opened wide, and he looked at Xia Houshang in disbelief.

There is no important information hidden in the letter, and the straight-forward statement that this is a last letter is a true confession to Ah Yue, and a promise for life and death, and finally arranges a seamless plan for her to escape from Xiahou's house.

This is no longer pampering my concubine... This is really fucking love.

Liu Chan didn't expect that Xia Houshang in front of him would be so affectionate when he was beaten to death.

"...The general's deep affection is admirable." Liu Chan sighed, "I believe that I will send capable people there and hand it over to Ah Yue... If she is willing, she can also go to Chengdu with the messenger. She will be raised by the general alone, and she will not be bullied by others."

Xia Houshang stared at Liu Chan's face, not letting go of every subtle expression. Seeing that he seemed to be really moved by him, he was also very surprised. Then he showed the most sincere smile so far, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Prince Hanzhong, for your success."

[Xiahoushang favorability +10, +10...]

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

【…】

[Xiahou Shang's favorability degree is 50, equestrian talent +6×2, strategic talent +2×2, and the characteristic "a match made in heaven"]

【A Match Made in Heaven】: If you can finally get married with the one you love, the offspring you give birth to 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 expect this affectionate general to bring me such a harvest...

　According to historical records, Xia Houshang was sued by his wife to Cao Pi because he was obsessed with concubines, and Cao Pi gave the concubine to death.As a result, Xia Houshang couldn't get sick because of this, and even feared that he would forget her appearance, he ordered someone to dig up the grave to have a look before burying it.In the end, he became ill because of his longing, and he couldn't afford it. He passed away and died young.At that time, concubines were all objects. Cao Pi did not expect this to happen, and cried bitterly and regretted it afterwards.
