Two days passed very quickly.

Zhuge Liang soon came to Jingzhou

This visit to Sun Quan was obviously completely different from the last time.

The current situation in Jingbei is extremely normal. Except for the number of soldiers, nothing seems to have changed.

The people went about their daily lives and hawked goods, seemingly unaware that they were about to experience a war.

"Kong Ming, you are finally here."

"Marquis Wu has been waiting for you for a long time."

At this moment, Lu Su rushed over with several guards and said with a smile.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said:

"Zijing, you're fine."

"Please also ask Zijing to take me to see Wu Hou."

"What I want to discuss this time is a very serious matter."

Lu Su nodded solemnly.

Although Lu Su only learned that Zhuge Liang was coming to visit, he did not know his true purpose.

But one thing is clear to Lu Su.

During such a war, if there was no special matter, Zhuge Liang, who was so stable, would never come so rashly.

Sun Quan had a stern face at this time and was looking at the map on the table.

Lu Meng and Lu Xun were on both sides.

"Ziming, Boyan, how long does it take for Cao's army to arrive in Jingbei?"

Sun Quan asked in a low voice.

Lu Xun stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said:

"Lord, according to reports from the scouts, they will arrive in Jingbei in about three days."

"Our army has made complete preparations. This time Cao Cao's army came to Jingbei with about 200,000 troops."

"As long as they appear, our Jiangdong soldiers will definitely be the first to defeat them."

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Sun Quan nodded heavily:

"Don't be careless."

"The battle report just came in. Fancheng has been lost."

Hearing this, Lu Meng and Lu Xun couldn't help being slightly stunned.

"Isn't Fancheng guarded by Guan Yunchang?"

"Moreover, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in Fancheng. How can we hold on for a while?"

"It's only been a few days, why did it fall?"

Lu Meng couldn't help but said in surprise.

In fact, not only Lu Meng, but everyone was confused about this.

They are very clear about Guan Yu's martial arts and strategies.

Although there is a gap in military strength, it is not a big gap, not to mention that Guan Yu is still defending the city.

Although everyone understood that as the city at the front, once Cao Cao attacked, Fancheng would be impossible to defend.

But it’s only been a few days?

Fancheng was actually lost?

"Today Zhuge Liang will come to Gu to discuss this matter with Gu."

"I feel like things are not that simple."

"These Cao troops must have used some strange method, otherwise, Guan Yu would not have been able to hold on for even half a month."

Although they knew that Fancheng would definitely be captured, everyone planned to hold it for a month no matter what.

As a result, let alone half a month, I couldn't even survive a week.

This is really incredible.

Moreover, when they heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, everyone immediately understood that the matter was definitely not that simple.

There must be some secret in this.

Soon, Lu Su brought Zhuge Liang to the main hall.

"Foreign minister, please pay your respects to the Marquis of Wu."

Zhuge Liang saluted respectfully.

Sun Quan waved his hand:

"Without courtesy, Kong Ming, please tell me about the situation in Fancheng."

"Why couldn't Fancheng be defended for even a week?"

Sun Quan was not blaming Zhuge Liang, but was eager to know the specific situation.

After all, even if he were left to defend Fancheng, he might not be able to do any better than Guan Yu.

What's more, no matter what Liu Beijun did, he would never make fun of his own city.

Well, this only explains one point.

Cao Cao's army must have used some strange method to deal with Fancheng.

The enemy army will arrive in three days, and Sun Quan is eager to know what trump card Cao Cao has.

Zhuge Liang also knew this, so he simply said:

"This is what I want to report to the Marquis of Wu. This is exactly what I want to say."

"With the defensive strength of Fancheng, we could easily defend it for about two months."

"However, Cao Cao used a strange thing."

"This thing is very small, similar to a small stone. After being launched by a catapult, it can touch the city wall."

"This thing is very weird. It will cause a violent explosion. Even the city wall can't resist a few of them."

"Only five or so of them can blow the city wall to the point of collapse."

"It was precisely because of this that our army suffered heavy casualties. We had to abandon Fancheng after persisting for a few days."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, everyone's faces showed an expression of confusion.

It’s not that they don’t believe it.

But this is simply incredible, even a little magical is not an exaggeration.

"This...Kong Ming, are you seriously not kidding?"

After a long time, Sun Quan woke up from the shock and looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise.

This description doesn’t sound normal no matter how you hear it!

No matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he can't have such a thing, right?

What kind of stone is it that can make a city wall unstable with just five stones?

If this thing really exists, then why didn't Cao Cao come to attack earlier?

How could the Sun-Liu alliance resist Cao Cao?

Zhuge Liang sighed quietly:

"Wu Hou, I very much hope that this matter is false."

"However, this matter is indeed true, and it was witnessed by General Guan with his own eyes."

"General Guan, there were a large number of crossbowmen ambushed at the top of the city, waiting for the arrival of Cao's army."

"However, this Cao Jun used such an object."

"Otherwise, our army would not have suffered such heavy casualties."

At this point, Zhuge Liang's words were already full of anger.

However, this anger was not towards Sun Quan, but towards Cao Cao.

Why does Cao Cao have something so defiant?

In a siege, the most important thing is to break through the city wall.

In the past, people had to fight for the sovereignty of the city wall bit by bit.

But Cao Cao's behavior is too unreasonable!

Just blow up the city wall!

Sun Quan couldn't help but gasped:

"This...Kong Mingzhi Yan Gu already knows."

"Just how to solve this matter?"

"If every one of Cao Cao's armies carries these artifacts, wouldn't we have to retreat steadily?"

Sun Quan's meaning is very simple.

If you know you can't beat it, what can you do to counter it?

If there is no way to target it, is it possible that Zhuge Liang is here to persuade him to surrender?

Zhuge Liang frowned and said;

"Reporting to the Marquis of Wu, there is no way to resolve this matter."

"The explosive artifact only needs to touch something to cause it to explode. There is no way to withstand it."

Hearing this, Sun Quan's face turned green.

If you say that, is it possible that Zhuge Liang really came here to persuade him to give up Jingzhou directly?

That's no use at all.

If Jingzhou is abandoned, Cao Cao will send his troops to attack Jiangdong.
