Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After several days and nights of tossing, Xiangyang City finally returned to peace.

When Cao Jun attacked a city in the past, it was very rare for the navy to attack a strong city like today.

Even if there is a siege battle, it is rarely as tragic as it is now.

After Gan Ning and others left, Cao Cao couldn't help but sighed and said, "The artillery is indeed powerful, and its destructive power is also extremely terrifying. Come here, send an order to tell the people in the city that anyone whose family died in the siege battle , our army will compensate you [-] yuan! At the same time, we will quickly summon the civilians to clean up the corpses in the city and clean up various places to avoid epidemics."

It was not the first time that the messengers led the orders, but every time they would feel sincere admiration for Cao Cao's "kindness".

Lu Yan listened to Lao Cao's arrangements, and he felt relieved in his heart: "Yes, Boss Cao is becoming more and more benevolent."

Although the war is tragic, Cao Cao can always consider the people in the war as soon as possible.And what is commendable is that Cao Cao has not slaughtered the city until now, which is very rare.

Ignoring the desperate expressions of Gan Ning and the others,

Along with Cao Cao, Lu Yan came before Liu Qi, Zhuge Jin, Kuai brothers and other Jingzhou officials.

After the previous incident, Liu Qi has calmed down.After all, even Pang Tong and Cao Cao can be let go, let alone him who is just a "puppet".

"I have met Prime Minister Cao!" When Cao Cao arrived, Liu Qi led the civil and military officials who surrendered in Jingzhou, and saluted together.

At the same time, Liu Qi also took the seal sent by the officials behind him, and handed it to Cao Cao respectfully.

Cao Cao took Yinxi and stuffed it into Lu Yan's arms, then helped Liu Qi up with a smile, and said, "My nephew, please forgive me, gentlemen please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and said, "From now on, we will be a family. Come, come with me to celebrate the achievements of the sailors!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao took Liu Qi's arm and walked towards the state pastoral mansion.

"Here!" Liu Qi had no choice but to promise and follow Lao Cao.

The next day.

Before dawn, many peasants or people in Xiangyang began to clean the streets.

After Cao Cao's orders were conveyed last night, the situation in the city gradually stabilized.

At dawn, the people saw that Cao Jun entered the city without any crime, and the panic in their hearts had gradually settled down.

Although the artillery of Cao Jun's siege killed many people in the city, at least they did not massacre the city, and they did not break into the houses too much to harm the people in the city.This point, for the people who have seen all kinds of cruel acts in troubled times, can already be regarded as a very benevolent army.

Moreover, what the people of Xiangyang did not expect was that after Cao Jun entered the city, he actually ordered compensation for every family that died in the siege battle.

In this way, the common people were convinced that the rumors that Cao Jun treated the common people well were not false, so the common people in Xiangyang dared to go out of their homes, clean up at their own gates or on the street, and wipe away the blood.

Many corpses were carried out of Xiangyang City.

The corpses of Xiangyang defenders will be buried in a good place outside the city; while the corpses of soldiers of Cao Army will be cremated after identification, and then buried in Chenliu's Garden of Heroes and entered into the Hall of Martyrs.

At the same time, the envoy sent by Jingzhou to Jiangdong for help was finally summoned by Sun Quan.

Sun Quan didn't want to send troops to help Jingzhou because of the heavy losses before, but he couldn't bear the envoy of Jingzhou blocking the door every day, so he had no choice but to summon the envoy of Jingzhou, Ma Liang.

There are five brothers in Ma Liang's family, all of whom are talented and famous, and Ma Liang is the eldest brother among the five brothers, and the most outstanding one.Because Ma Liang has white hairs in his eyebrows, he is also known as Ma Liang with white eyebrows, and he is also praised as "Ma's Wuchang, white eyebrows are the best".

This time, Ma Liang was entrusted by Pang Tong and sent to Jiangdong to ask Sun Quan to send troops to resist Cao Cao.

But Sun Quan has been avoiding Ma Liang, which makes Ma Liang feel that Sun Quan is really hypocritical to the extreme.

Ma Liang was also stubborn and blocked the door for several days, before he was finally summoned by Sun Quan.

However, before he had time to go to Sun Quan's mansion, he received news from Ma Di's entourage from Jingzhou.

The news said: Jingzhou Xiangyang City has fallen, Liu Qi led all the civil and military officials to surrender to Cao Cao
In the end, the general meaning was: "Brother, we are already Cao Cao's people, you run away quickly! When it's over, run away and turn Sun Quan's face!"

This is so embarrassing.

I haven't even asked for reinforcements yet, but my main city and my lord are gone. How can I ask for a ball?
The main thing is that no one would have imagined that a strong city, one of the best in the world, would fall after only holding on for four days.

After thinking for a while, Ma Liang said to his followers: "Let's go, let's go back to Jingzhou."

result,

Sun Quan waited for Ma Liang for more than an hour, and finally waited for the news that Ma Liang had left Jiangdong.
"Damn!!"

After Sun Quan learned that he was being teased, he immediately became furious.

How could Sun Quan, who has always had a good face, endure such humiliation?
"Ping ping pong!"

"Shameless!"

"Oh!"

"The dog thief Ma Liang, how dare you play tricks on me! I will send troops to destroy Jingzhou!"

Sun Quan vented his anger in his mansion.

As a key figure in communication with Jingzhou, Lu Su also got the news that Xiangyang city was broken and the lord of Jingzhou Liu Qi led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao.

This really shocked Lu Su, he hurriedly took the news and went straight to Sun Quan's residence.

When Lu Su came to the hall of Sun Quan's mansion, he happened to hear Sun Quan scolding Ma Liang and threatening to destroy Jingzhou.

"My lord!" Lu Su came to the hall and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid you won't have the chance to send troops to destroy Jingzhou."

Seeing that it was Lu Su who came, Sun Quan restrained his temper and asked, "Do you think I can't beat Liu Qi?"

Lu Su still smiled wryly. He shook his head and said, "Your subordinate just got the news that Cao's army broke through Xiangyang City in just four days. Now Liu Qi has surrendered to Cao Cao!"

When Sun Quan heard the words, his eyes suddenly popped out, as if he heard extremely absurd remarks, he said, "What did you say?"

Lu Su took out a secret letter from his sleeve, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "My subordinates have just received news from spies in Jingzhou that Cao Jun's navy, with the help of new weapons, destroyed Xiangyang in just four days. Three walls, and then a hundred thousand sailors stormed Wengcheng, and finally took Xiangyang."

Four days in Xiangyang?

When did siege warfare become as quick as field warfare?
After Sun Quanqiang calmed down and read the letter, he finally understood, "It's those new weapons called artillery by Cao Jun!"

After pondering for a long time, Sun Quan suddenly asked: "Is there any news about those weapons?"

Lu Su shook his head and said, "Although we know their general shapes, we don't know the secrets of the forging process or the fire-breathing iron balls."

When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "Could it be that we will eventually be lost in the artillery fire of Cao Jun?"

Lu Su saw that Sun Quan's will was a little depressed, so he comforted him: "My lord, don't worry, the artillery was also developed and created by craftsmen. Since they are all made by craftsmen, there will always be a day when the secret will be cracked."

Sun Quan cheered up again when he heard the words, and said: "You are right, we can't give up on Zijing, I plan to increase investment in the workshop, and hope to discover the secret of the artillery as soon as possible!"

Although Lu Su had no hope, he still had to do his best to cheer up Sun Quan, "My lord is wise!"
