Cao Cao's army soon entered Fancheng.

The people in Fancheng were terrified, fearing that Cao Cao would massacre the city like he did in Xuzhou.

After all, the people in Fancheng supported Liu Bei and Guan Yu very much and contributed a lot.

That's why they think this way.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao did not attack them, but instead distributed grain and grain seeds.

To be honest, the people in Fancheng are extremely short of food now.

Although there is a lot of food in Jingzhou, Liu Bei needs a lot of food because of his large number of troops.

There was no food, and Liu Bei didn't ask for it. He just spread the news among the people and spread the rumor that Cao Cao would massacre the city if he captured it.

The people believed it to be true, thinking that only if Liu Bei defended the city could they and others survive.

Therefore, after these people learned about it, they were moved by Liu Bei's kindness and handed over the food on their own initiative.

But they can only tighten their belts and get by.

With the assistance of Cao Cao's food and grass, they suddenly began to wonder if Liu Bei had been lying to them.

From the point of view of the people's support, Cao Cao was able to win back the victory.

The road was still under construction at this time, so there was no rush to attack the next city.

Guan Yu led his troops all the way to Xiangyang City.

"Second brother, second brother!"

When Liu Bei saw Guan Yu coming back, he immediately rushed forward to greet him eagerly.

Guan Yu said with a look of shame:

"Brother! Yun Chang is sorry, brother!"

"Fan City, still failed to defend!"

Liu Bei shed a few tears:

"Second brother, eldest brother doesn't blame you!"

"The military advisor said that it is difficult to defend Fancheng, we just need to delay it."

"Second brother has delayed it for so long, which is really good."

"As long as you, second brother, can return safely, what will happen if Fancheng is lost?"

Guan Yu was very moved when he heard this and cupped his hands and said:

"Brother, that thief Cao got the evil magic from somewhere."

"He threw a small thing with a catapult, but it caused a huge explosion. The city wall could not withstand the explosion."

"Therefore, the archers I am ambushing cannot be used at all."

"Then they took out something that looked like a stick."

"This thing will also make a noise, and then holes will appear in the soldier's body. He will lie on the ground bleeding and cannot be saved."

"With such items, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to win!"

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei couldn't help being slightly stunned.

What sorcery?

what?

A small thing can cause a big explosion, causing the city walls to collapse?

How can this be?

If someone else said this, Liu Bei would definitely not believe a word he said. This was obviously making excuses for failure.

However, it was Guan Yu who said this.

Guan Yu never lies, let alone to himself.

At this time, Liu Bei felt even more incredible and whispered:

"Second brother, eldest brother knows."

"Second brother has been running all the way. Quickly settle down with the soldiers and have a good rest."

Guan Yu was indeed a little tired at this time.

While guarding the city, Guan Yu had not slept much for several days and nights, and now he was running all the way to Xiangyang again.

Even Guan Erye's body was a little unbearable.

"Thank you, brother!"

After Guan Yu saluted, he hurriedly left with his soldiers.

At this time, Liu Bei stood with his hands behind his back. After Guan Yu walked away, he narrowed his eyes and said to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong beside him:

"Two military advisors, have you heard what Chief Yun just said?"

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong narrowed their eyes with solemn expressions.

After thinking for a long time, the two finally shook their heads.

Pang Tong was the first to speak:

"My lord, the scene described by General Guan is simply unheard of."

"However, General Guan will never use such clumsy words to excuse failure, so this must be true."

"But if this is the case, even our army today may not be able to defeat Cao Cao!"

Zhuge Liang also sighed and said:

"A few small objects can blow the city wall to the point of collapse."

"If that's the case, it's going to be really tricky."

"No matter how difficult a city is to attack, as long as the city wall is destroyed, the defensive ability will be greatly reduced."

"What weird method did Cao Mengde use?"

The faces of the two of them were now filled with sorrow.

If Cao Cao simply has more troops and is stronger, that's all. The two of them have various ways to resolve it.

But what they heard now was seriously beyond the scope of their understanding.

An explosive gadget that can blow open a city wall in just a few strokes?

what is this?

How could there be such strange objects in the world?

Pang Tong frowned and said:

"This thing must have been made by Bai Feng. The two of us have never heard of it. I'm afraid it is a strange thing that was discovered by Bai Feng."

"Lord, why don't we send someone to investigate secretly? If we can bring this thing back, Kong Ming and I may be able to study it."

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong learned more than just military strategies from Shuijing Sima Hui.

They also know a lot about clever things and the ability to identify flowers and plants.

Zhuge Liang also made the Zhuge Liannu, which was extremely useful, so Liu Bei believed in it.

"Okay, then I'll try my best."

Liu Bei frowned and said:

"Now, I'm just afraid that Cao Cao will take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Xiangyang."

"If we don't get this strange object by then, I'm afraid Xiangyang City won't be able to save it."

Having said this, Liu Bei couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.

He really didn't understand.

Why does Cao Cao always have such luck that others don't have?

Moreover, it was after Bai Feng arrived under Cao Cao.

Whether it's Chibi or anything else, Cao Cao always seems to be able to crush himself in all aspects.

This made Liu Bei confused.

Is this Cao Cao the man of destiny?

Otherwise, why does God always favor Cao Cao?

No matter what this explosive and terrifying object is, it cannot be ignored.

There is only one person who can deal with this right now.

Just as Pang Tong said, he sent out spies to try his best to bring this thing back.

As long as we can study what this thing is, we will have the ability to fight against Cao Cao.

Otherwise, this gadget alone would be enough to cause Liu Bei to fail.

"By the way, Kong Ming, send an envoy to tell Sun Quan the news and let him think of a solution."

Liu Bei ordered calmly.

Jiangdong also has a lot of talents. If both parties go out together, there may be a higher probability of getting this object.

When the time comes for the two families to study together, maybe they can reveal the secret of this object.

This is the benefit of the two alliances.

Since Sun and Liu have been in alliance for so long, they should take advantage of this.
