Chapter 1123 Cao Ren Commits Suicide and Takes Control of Xiangyang

()...,

Cai Mao sighed, this time he lost nothing.

When Cai Mao asked, Xu Chen stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, I was ordered to come to Jingzhou seven years ago."

Seven years ago, Cai Mao felt a chill in his heart.

"How many people are yours?" Cai Mao asked.

Xu Chen shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know, we are all in one-way contact, and my subordinates only knew of the existence of Commander Wen a few days ago."

Cai Mao asked again: "How did you know that I would promote you?"

Xu Chen was amused, thinking that Cai Mao's question was too silly.

"No one knows who you will promote. For seven years, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty has not contacted me. It was not until after the attack on Jingzhou that his subordinates were awakened." Xu Chen replied.

This Cai Mao also felt that his problem was ridiculous, and Zhang Yu started to arrange it several years ago.

He should have arranged a lot of people, so many people are always promoted by himself, and there are many more who have not been promoted.

Even Cai Mao didn't know how many people around him were Zhang Yu's people.

It is not wrong to lose this battle, it is strange not to lose.

"Xu Chen, you are still my counselor, what advice do you have?" Cai Mao asked suddenly.

Xu Chen nodded, and then said: "You'd better hang yourself, this is your best ending."

Suicide, Cai Mao was sad, he was forced to commit suicide.

"Sun Ce also died like this. I have lived a rich life and controlled Jingzhou. I didn't expect such an ending." Cai Mao sighed.

Xu Chen said again: "You are not as good as Sun Ce, the prince is very smart, but he relies on the family and has no big structure."

Cai Mao is definitely a rare navy talent in the Three Kingdoms era, and few people can compare with him.

However, his pattern is really small.

Cai Mao did not speak.

He thinks about his family now.

It is probably impossible for Zhang Yu to let them go. The Cai family is so powerful.

Under his own management, the Cai family is second to none, but now they are all gone.

The Cai family's industries spread all over Jingzhou. With a population of tens of millions, Jingzhou is extremely prosperous.

But what was the result?

"Can you tell me what's going on outside?" Cai Mao asked.

Xu Chen nodded, and ordered the soldiers to get some cups of tea. Xu Chen was very tired after working all night.

After moving the chair, Xu Chen sat in the middle of the main hall. After drinking a few sips of tea, Xu Chen said: "My Tang army, 300,000 troops entered the city, and my majesty will personally lead them. Thirty thousand people surrendered and became internal support. When our troops from the Tang Dynasty rushed in, most of the soldiers from Jingzhou surrendered.”

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses around the palace. They may be anxious. My Lord is not in a hurry to attack the palace, but to deal with Cao Jun first."

The main hall was suffocated for a while, Cai Mao and other staff couldn't accept it.

His soldiers and horses are so fragile.

After Cai Mao took Jingzhou, he seldom led the army himself, and handed it over to his subordinates and clansmen.

I didn't expect it to be like this in a few years.

In fact, after the expansion of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, their combat power has been declining.

Cai Mao took a few sips of tea to relieve himself.

The sky gradually brightened.

The shouting outside also gradually weakened.

Zhang Yu and Dian Wei have been besieging Cao Ren's army, and now there are only a thousand people left.

"General Cao Ren, we are also old acquaintances. Now that we are in this situation, there is no need to continue fighting."

Cao Ren looked around and saw Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded them, so there was really no need to fight.

Cao Ren smiled wryly. He brought an army of one hundred thousand troops, and he was afraid that they would all be lost here.

One hundred thousand troops, and they are all elite soldiers.

These are all veterans of several years. After fighting so many battles, there are not many veterans in Cao Cao.

"General Zhang, I hope you treat them kindly." Cao Ren said.

Zhang Yu nodded, put away his weapon, and said, "They are all my people, and I have always treated my people well."

His people?

Cao Ren sighed again, no one can stop Zhang Yu's unification, and their alliance is broken.

Sun Ce and Cai Hao were wiped out one after another, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei alone were hard to resist.

Now, Luoyang is not safe anymore.

Cao Ren knew that there was no need to continue the fight. It was dawn, and if the reinforcements from other places did not come, they should all be finished.

"Give me a decent death." Cao Ren said again.

Cao Ren said that Zhang Yu was also very helpless. This Cao Ren is a wise general, a famous general, not top-notch in military strength, but he is a top-notch commander.

Zhang Yu nodded. He cherishes Cao Ren's talent very much, but he is Cao Cao's man after all, and he cannot subdue him.

"I'm going to order the other Cao troops to lay down their weapons. I don't want more killings."

Zhang Yu ordered to make way for Cao Ren to go by himself.

Zhang Yu was naturally not afraid that Cao Ren could escape, but no one could escape.

Guo Jia still had tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and several city gates were also seized.

When Cao Ren arrived at other barracks, their soldiers and horses also lost more than half.

If it wasn't for Zhang Yu not ordering the onslaught, it would have been broken long ago.

There is no need for Zhang Yu to attack fiercely, they are all surrounded, and they should be dealt with slowly, so as to save as many people as possible.

After getting rid of Cao Ren, Zhang Yu is going to meet Cai Mao.

As for Cao Ren, after he went around and ordered to put down his weapons, he committed suicide on the north gate wall, facing the direction of Luoyang.

Zhang Yu went to the palace with his soldiers and horses, while the other generals began to collect the weapons of the surrendered soldiers and arrange the surrendered troops.

All soldiers and horses in Jingzhou must first surrender and be resettled. The difference is that those who have surrendered before will be given preferential treatment, but they must also lay down their weapons.

This battle lasted half the night, and Xiangyang City was easily won.

Xiangyang City will continue to be blocked for a period of time.

Zhang Yu led his troops to the outside of the palace, where there hadn't been any war yet. When making the plan, Zhang Yu had no plan to attack the palace.

Moreover, the Xiangyang army in many places did not attack, which prevented the entire Xiangyang city from being too damaged, and the fighting area was concentrated near several city gates.

When they arrived around the palace, these Jingzhou troops were still very nervous.

However, several streets were surrounded by troops.

Zhang Yu asked people to persuade him to surrender.

These armies know what's going on and are in a state of turmoil right now.

More than 10,000 people were surrounded, and they did not dare to move around, especially if they had not been ordered.

After a while, Xu Chen and Commander Wen came out.

"The prince has an order to order you to put down your weapons and surrender."

The two announced their surrender, and many people were still hesitating, but they did not dare to resist and dare not attack.

Everyone was still hesitating, Commander Wen shouted loudly and said: "Everyone put down their weapons, the prince has already ordered to surrender, are you going to cause the whole family of the prince to be killed?"

Commander Wen's burst of shouting had an effect, and everyone slowly put down their weapons.

Some people started to drop their weapons, and the others dropped their weapons when they saw it.

Zhang Yu commanded the army and stepped forward to collect their weapons.
