It was already after dark when Xiangyang was captured.

Before Lu Yan and Cao Cao entered the city, countless torches had already been lit in the city.

Enter the city and walk on the streets of Xiangyang.

Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others saw the devastation in the city by the light of the fire.

Many houses on both sides of the street were destroyed by artillery, and in some places there were corpses of defenders and civilians. The entire Xiangyang City was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

When I passed by one place, there were pieces of Xiangyang defenders lying there, and there were no weapons around them; there were also some civilians, who either died in the house or by the door
Seeing this, Lu Yan's expression suddenly turned serious. He could tell that the death of some defenders and civilians was a little abnormal.

"These guys. Are they massacring the city?" Lu Yan's heart sank. If this is really the case, then he has violated Cao Jun's military law. If they are investigated, they will be beheaded!

Thinking of this, Lu Yan was annoyed by the stupid things committed by those recruits, and couldn't help cursing softly: "Fuck!"

"?" Cao Cao suddenly heard the word "cao", so he turned to Lu Yan and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you calling me?"

Lu Yan was taken aback by Cao Cao's question, and then he replied inside: "Actually, I want to ask, what do you plan to do next, Mr. Cao, after taking Xiangyang?"

After taking Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou, Cao Cao was in a particularly good mood.

After hearing Lu Yan's question, he thought for a while and then said: "Xiangyang has been captured, Liu Qi has surrendered, and the entire Jingzhou can be passed on.

As for the next step, it is natural to reward our meritorious deeds, and then reward our invincible Han sailor! "

"Oh." Lu Yan said perfunctorily, and then fell into his own thinking.

Lu Yan didn't know if Cao Cao and the others had seen those corpses. He was worried that if someone saw them, they would notice the abnormality, and the merits of the sailors and soldiers who worked so hard with their lives might be lost in this way.

Not long after walking, when Lu Yan was thinking about what to do, Cao Cao and the others saw Gan Ning and the others waiting in front of them.

Gan Ning stood at the front with his head held high, beside Xu Sheng who was wrapped in bandages like rice dumplings, and then Su Fei, who was in charge of guarding Pang Tong who was tied up.

When Cao Cao saw them, he laughed and said, "General Gan, General Su, General Xu, after this battle, I will have another invincible army!
Great, my big Han navy!
Come on, slaughter pigs and sheep, let's celebrate the brothers of the navy tonight! "

Although Gan Ning and the others were praised by Cao Cao, they were really a little drummed in their hearts.

He didn't know if the massacre of the city had been discovered. If it was discovered, tonight's celebration banquet might become a guilt banquet
When Cao Cao came in front of Pang Tong, Pang Tong was expressionless and stared straight ahead, not paying attention to Lao Cao at all.

Cao Cao looked at the ugly ghost in front of him, thinking that this guy almost stabbed him in the waist, and he was still a little scared.

It's a good thing that the Jiangdong Navy Lu Zhan really pulled his hips, otherwise the stabbing was serious, and even if he didn't die, his old Cao would be seriously injured.

After taking a deep breath, Cao Cao said to Su Fei, "Untie him."

Su Fei didn't hesitate after hearing Cao Cao's words, and immediately untied Pang Tong from the tight ropes on his body.

"Hmph!" Pang Tong moved his numb arms, and then snorted coldly: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, don't be so hypocritical."

Pang Tong has great talent.

According to Cao Cao's character of loving talents like life and seeking talents, he should persuade Pang Tong to surrender.

But looking at Pang Tong's appearance, Cao Cao suddenly lost interest, so he turned to Lu Yan and asked, "Mr. Lu, how do you think we should deal with him?"

Lu Yan has been sizing up Pang Tong since just now, thinking that he is actually not too ugly, it's just that he looks very distinctive.
After hearing Cao Cao's question, Lu Yan thought for a while and replied: "Pang Shiyuan has the talent to stabilize the country, so killing him like this really bury his talent."

Pang Tong wanted to make some more sarcasm, but Lu Yan raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "We will not kill you, as long as you don't turn to other princes to fight against us, you can come and go freely."

Pang Tong seemed to think he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help asking, "You said you were going to let me go???"

Maybe he felt that Lu Yan's words could not be counted, so Pang Tong couldn't help looking at Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao originally thought that Pang Tong was a great talent, even if he couldn't use it, at least he had to stay in his own territory.

But after hearing what Lu Yan said, he suddenly felt that his situation was indeed a little worse than Lu Yan's.

Seeing Pang Tong looking at him, Cao Cao nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Since it is Mr. Lu, I have nothing to do."

Pang Tong took a deep look at Lu Yan, he really didn't expect this person to let him go so easily.

"Why?" Pang Tong hesitated again and again, but still asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, you should understand such a simple truth.

Now that the Han Dynasty is flourishing, the lives of the people are getting better and better, and we are serving the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This world will eventually return to the Han Dynasty. "

"Are you sure it will really be the Han Dynasty in the future?" Pang Tong showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"They are all Han people, so why not the Han family? As long as the great Han can continue to inherit, what is the difference between the Eastern Han and Western Han?"

Pang Tong was a little stunned by Lu Yan's words, "What's the difference between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty?"

According to rumors, Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is a distant relative of the Western Han royal family; but some people say that they have nothing to do with each other.
But no matter whether it is the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty, the people of the Han Dynasty sincerely recognized them.

"So, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. Then, can Liu Han and Cao Han also be called the Han Dynasty?" Pang Tong felt as if he had thought of something crucial.

He frowned and looked at Cao Cao and Lu Yan, and asked, "Do you have any heirs today?"

"none."

Pang Tong nodded, indicating that he understood.

He bowed his hands to Cao Cao and Lu Yan, and said, "In that case, Pang will bid farewell."

Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation, which made him look graceful and dignified.

The soldiers behind Cao Cao stepped back in unison to both sides, revealing a deep and dark passage.

Seeing that no one was stopping him, Pang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the passage.

But after taking two steps, Pang Tong suddenly turned to look at Lu Yan and asked, "I have something else I want to ask Lu Huanqi."

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Say it."

"Pang heard that Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, a former classmate and friend, is now working for the imperial court. May I ask Lu Hussar, where is he now?"

In fact, with Pang Tong's status and strength in Jingzhou, he must have found out that Xiliang Ma Teng was resisting Han Sui's offensive with the help of Xu Shu.

The reason why he asked this question was because he wanted to secretly reveal his future whereabouts to Lu Yan, Cao Cao and others.

I brought so much trouble to Cao Cao, but they let Pang Tong, who survived the catastrophe, be so magnanimous. That's why Xu Shu and Shi Tao's evaluation of Cao Cao and Lu Yan was very pertinent. An able minister to rule the world."
