It took nearly half a month for Liu Chan and his entourage to finally arrive at Shangyong.

Originally, Liu Chan's thousands of miles and a lamp could travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night.

However, the speed of Lin Yuan and the others' war horses was not good, and Liu Chan had to slow down if he wanted to pass with them, so that it took more than half a month and several times more time to reach Shangyong.

Fortunately, it is not too late, and the Cao army has not yet sent troops to attack Shangyong.

When Liu Bei fought fiercely with Xiahou Yuan in the Northern Plains, Guan Feng arrived in Chengdu, and Liu Chan became aware of Cao Cao's conspiracy.

Now more than 20 days have passed, Liu Bei has defeated Xiahou Yuan at this moment, broken through Cao's army camp, and killed Chang'an.

At the same time, Cao Cao also sent someone to inform Fancheng Cao Ren that the Jingzhou plan was officially opened!

When Liu Chan arrived in Shangyong, Cao Ren had just received news from Cao Cao.

Sent the general Xu Huang, Xiahou Shang led 20,000 troops to the west to attack Shangyong, and Fancheng only left 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, showing the enemy weakness, and deliberately luring Guan Yu to send troops to attack.

Shangyong City.

"Shizi, why are you here?" Knowing that Liu Chan was coming, Liu Feng and Mengda hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Brother!" Seeing Liu Feng, Liu Chan bowed.

"Shizi!" Liu Feng hurriedly returned the salute.

Liu Feng is still a good person, loyal to Liu Bei, and has no idea of competing with Liu Chan for the throne, when Liu Chan was trapped in Xiangyang, Liu Feng also helped to rescue.

It's just that Guan Yu has always looked at Liu Feng unpleasantly because of Liu Feng's identity as a son, so that the later battle of Xiangfan came out of this matter.

"I've seen the son!" Meng Da on the side also bowed.

"General Meng Da, hard work!" Liu Chan picked Meng Da up and patted him on the shoulder.

Meng Da is about forty years old, five short in stature, shorter than Liu Chan, but very capable.

"The son of the world is serious!" Meng Da shook his head, and Liu Chan noticed that Meng Da's eyes seemed to be a little unnatural.

Liu Chan's expression moved, and he said secretly: "Shangyong City is strong, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, if Cao Ren divides his troops to attack Shangyong, but it is not so simple to conquer Shangyong."

If it is just a siege but not an attack, it will not be able to achieve the purpose of forcing the second uncle to send troops to respond, and the situation must be in crisis, or the upper will be defeated, and the second uncle will send troops to attack Fancheng.

In this way, Cao Cao must arrange a secret son in Shangyong, could it be that Cao Cao has sent someone to contact Meng Da now? ”

Liu Chan suppressed the thoughts in his heart and did not attack.

Liu Feng said: "The prince has come from afar, hurry up and enter the city to rest first!" ”

"Brother, please!"

A group of people came to the city, Liu Feng ordered people to prepare a banquet, for Liu Feng, Liu Chan is the king, and he is a minister, so please Liu Chan to sit.

During the banquet, Meng Da asked Liu Chan: "Shizi, now that the lord is on the Northern Expedition, you are not in Chengdu to preside over the overall situation, and you don't know ...... here."

Liu Feng also looked at Liu Chan when he heard this, and was very curious about Liu Chan's purpose for coming to Shangyong.

Liu Chan smiled and said: "Oh, that's the case, you must also know, Sun Quan asked the second uncle for marriage, Feng'er and I already have a marriage contract, I heard that the second uncle was so angry that he was almost going to send troops to attack Jiangdong, so I came to Jingzhou to visit the second uncle." ”

Meng Da was puzzled: "Isn't it easier to go down the river in Jingzhou, why does the prince go north to the top and seek the near and far?" ”

Liu Chan explained: "Something happened at Jiameng Pass, because the road where the dragon turned over was destroyed, and it was impossible to transport grain to the north, so I went to inspect it, and when I got the news, it happened to be in Jiameng Pass.

I thought that I hadn't seen my brother for two years, so I didn't go back to Chengdu and went to Jingzhou from Chengdu. Instead, he made a direct detour to Shangyong and prepared to go to Jingzhou from Shangyong. ”

"I see!" Meng Da nodded, relieved in his heart.

And Liu Feng said with concern: "Then the road of Jiamengguan is okay, right?" Now that the father-in-law is in the north, if the road to Jiamengguan is different, then the grain and grass will not be transported. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, the road has been cleared!" ”

Liu Feng said with a smile: "Since that's the case, it's good, the prince finally came to Shangyong, then stay a few more days, although Shangyong is poor, but the scenery is still good, I will take the prince to see it when I have time, a few brothers can also hunt, let's be lively together." ”

Meng Da also smiled when he heard this: "Yes, the prince of the world has to stay in Shangyong for a few more days!" ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "It must be, when the time comes, I will trouble my brother, General Meng will entertain you a lot!" ”

Soon after, the banquet ended, and Liu Chan and his party came from afar, and Liu Feng ordered someone to arrange a place to live and go down to rest.

In Liu Chan's room, Liu Chan, Liu Ba, Liu Yin, and Huo Jun gathered together, and the guards they carried with them were all outside the door to protect them.

Because Huo Jun is a general under Liu Bei and Zitong is too guarded, in order not to reveal his identity, he is dressed as a soldier to hide people's eyes.

Liu Ba groaned: "If Cao Ren divides his troops to attack Shangyong, he must threaten Shangyong in order to achieve the goal of tempting General Guan to send troops.

It's just that Shangyong City is strong, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is difficult for Cao Jun to threaten Shangyong. There's only one way to get results! ”

"Neiying!" Liu Yin and Huo Jun said in unison.

Liu Chan nodded and said: "During today's banquet, Meng Da's face is different, if my expectations are good, Cao Cao's people are only afraid of finding Meng Da." ”

Liu Ba said: "When I entered the city, I sent someone to inquire, Meng Da and Liu Feng are not harmonious, Liu Feng is still young, has a strong personality, and often bullies Meng Da, Cao Cao found Meng Da and asked him to do internal response, which is also reasonable!" ”

Liu Yin hurriedly said: "Meng Da is the deputy general of Shangyong, half of the military power is in his hands, and he is older than General Liu Feng, and he is more popular with the military, if he becomes an internal response, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Without further ado, General Liu Feng will be notified as soon as possible and Meng Da will be taken down! ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "Meng Da's current glory and wealth are all given by his father, and he is on good terms with Li Yan and the law, so he will not easily respond to it."

According to my estimate, it was just because Liu Feng and Meng Da had a bad relationship that Cao Cao's people found Meng Da, but Meng Da should not have agreed yet. ”

Liu Yin said: "Meng Da didn't agree, but he didn't refuse, he was afraid that he would be against him, he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, so he should prepare as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "There is no evidence, rash action will cause a mutiny and completely push Meng Da to Cao Cao's side."

However, according to my estimate, Cao Cao should not only send someone to contact Meng Da, after all, Meng Da is just at odds with Liu Feng, there is no need for him to surrender to Cao Cao for this trivial matter, blocking his own net worth, after all, now his father has an advantage in Guanzhong.

If my guess is correct, Cao Cao should have a second hand to prepare! ”

Liu Ba heard the words and said: "The mediocre is strong! ”

Liu Chan nodded and said: "Yes, Meng Da is not easy to woo, but the mediocre and powerful are different, they have a lot of power, as long as Cao Cao promises heavy profits, it is not difficult to win them over!" ”
