I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"Since Liu Bei can run so well, he might as well change his name to Liu Pao."

Cao Mao smiled disdainfully.

"Liu Paopao? That's a good name."

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei on the side couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, after taking Xinye, almost the entire Nanyang County has fallen into our hands. When are we going to fight Xiangyang?"

Gan Ning asked impatiently.

"To win Xinye today, everyone has worked hard, so let's go back and rest for a while. After waking up, we will attack Xiangyang!"

Cao Mao laughed loudly.

"Here!"

The crowd left with a bang.

As the governing seat of Jingzhou, Xiangyang is also the foundation of Liu Biao.

It must be difficult to win it.

But he wants to recover Jingzhou, and take advantage of the trend to go south to unify the world.

The Battle of Xiangyang must be fought.

After glancing at the still dark sky, Cao Mao returned to the room.

Gan Mei had already fallen into a deep sleep, with a contented smile on her face.

Cao Mao lay down slowly and opened the system log.

"Ding, the host has completed the tyrant mission and obtained 499 tyrant points."

This is the points given to Liu Xian after completing the mission.

"Ding, the host has completed the tyrant mission and obtained 499 tyrant points."

"Ding, trigger the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and get the musket blueprint!"

This is the reward he got after he greened Liu Bei just now.

Looking at the musket blueprint in the system space, Cao Mao's eyes flickered.

Originally, with artillery, he was enough to dominate the Three Kingdoms on the frontal battlefield.

Now that he has obtained the musket blueprint, who can stop him from dominating the world?

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Mao's mouth, he hugged Ganmei's soft body beside him, and slowly fell asleep.

……

After a day's rest, Cao Mao led the army and continued to advance south.

The defenders of Yinxian, Chaoyang, Huyang and other counties south of Xinye either surrendered in anticipation or fled in a hurry.

It took only four or five days since Cao Mao's soldiers left Ye County, and all the cities captured by Liu Bei were recovered.

Even the entire Nanyang County fell into the hands of Cao Mao.

Cao Jun soon arrived in Xiangyang and set up camp outside the city.

……

"My lord, this Xiangyang city is a tough nut to crack."

Jia Xu set up the awning with his hands, frowned and looked at the towering city not far away, and said softly.

Although Liu Biao is old and feeble now, when he was young, he was also a very capable person.

Under his management, Jingzhou is far away from the flames of war, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Xiangyang City is also extraordinarily tall and strong, with a wide and deep moat surrounding the city.

No wonder Jia Xu sighed so much.

"If there is a strong attack, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. We have to think of a way."

Xu You twirled his beard and murmured.

Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and others all nodded slightly to express their agreement with his words.

Among other things, just trying to fill up the moat of Xiangyang City would cost at least thousands of lives!

Not to mention the brutal siege that followed.

Cao Mao smiled lightly and said softly,
"Although the city of Xiangyang is strong, it is not impenetrable."

Gan Ning couldn't help showing joy, and hurriedly urged,
"My lord, what good plan do you have?"

"Naturally there is."

Cao Mao looked at the city of Xiangyang, stood with his hands behind his back, with a well-thought-out plan,
"Just bombard Xiangyang City with the red cannon."

Everyone was stunned.

"My lord, although the red-clothed cannon is powerful, it may be difficult to destroy the city wall of Xiangyang, isn't it?"

Xu You was puzzled.

"You're right. A red cannon is certainly not powerful enough."

Cao Mao turned around with a cruel sneer,

"But what about hundreds of cannons?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao was overjoyed and said,

"My lord, we now have hundreds of cannons?"

Cao Mao nodded and smiled,

"The official document sent by the Ordnance Department yesterday has already built nearly a hundred red cannons, and it will be delivered in a few days."

After knowing the power of the red-clothed cannon, the Ordnance Department headed by Lu Xiaohang and Huang Yueying devoted almost all their hands to the manufacture of the red-clothed cannon.

For the nearly one hundred red cannons, the iron materials accumulated by the Ordnance Department were wiped out.

Since copper was still needed as a raw material, there was even a shortage of copper coins in the treasury.

Just in a short period of time, a hundred red cannons were built.

"Hey, since that's the case, let Liu Bei and Liu Biao dance around for a while before talking."

Gan Ning smiled strangely.

……

a few days later.

Xiangyang City.

Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang and his party, and hurriedly passed the bridge to the south bank of the Han River.

Unlike other cities at the time, Xiangyang was divided into two by the Xiangjiang River.

Located on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River is the North City, while the opposite is the South City.

The two cities in the north and the south pass through two bridges and ships on the river.

And Liu Biao's residence is in Nancheng.

Liu Bei and his party came to Liu Biao's residence, and after explaining their purpose, they were welcomed in by the housekeeper.

But after waiting in the lobby for a long time, Liu Biao did not come forward.

Just when they were a little impatient, a gust of fragrant wind came, and a graceful lady walked in slowly.

Following the noble lady were Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao, and his general Cai Mao.

After seeing the noble lady, Liu Bei was startled for a moment, then hurriedly got up and saluted her,
"I have seen Mrs.!"

Not bad.

This lady was Liu Biao's stepwife, Liu Qi and Liu Cong's stepmother, and Cai Mao's older sister, Cai Yu.

Facing Liu Bei's salute, Cai Yu did not respond.

Instead, he came to the seat slowly, and after sitting down slowly, he spoke slowly,

"Why did Duke Xuande come here today?"

"Reporting to Madam, I heard that the lord is ill, so I came here to express my condolences."

Liu Bei replied.

"Oh?"

A sneer appeared on Cai Yu's pretty face, and said coldly,

"Although the lord is ill, Cao Mao's army is now forcing the city. In order to prevent the people in the city from panicking, my concubine specially ordered that this news not be leaked."

"I don't know how Duke Xuande knew about it?"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, but didn't know how to respond for a moment.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang laughed lightly and said calmly,

"Liu Jingzhou is the backbone of Xiangyang, but everyone in the city is concerned about his safety, and my lord is no exception."

"I hope Madam will tell us quickly what happened to Liu Jingzhou."

Cai Yu snorted coldly,
"Your Majesty is in poor health and will not see any guests for the time being. Mr. Xuande, if you want to be careful, go to the North City to defend quickly, and don't let Cao Jun come in."

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Liu Bei had no choice but to salute, and took Zhuge Liang and the others to leave Liu Biao's residence.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Zhang Fei said angrily,
"This vicious woman is so disrespectful to elder brother!"

"Third brother, speak carefully!"

Liu Bei glared at him, sighed, and said to Zhuge Liang beside him,

"Military Master, Cao Jun's soldiers are approaching the city now, but Mr. Liu Fu is sick again. It's really a leaky house and it rains all night!"
