Ma Tian looked around and saw that the Wu soldiers who had invaded the city had already rushed to plunder, fearing that they would be delayed.

The people who were following him at this time were all Lu Xun's most trusted personal guards.

"It is a great joy for the General to conquer Xiangyang City. However, since I accompanied the General to the city, I have found that the General's face occasionally looks worried. Why is this?"

Lu Xun didn't seem to think that Martin could observe his thoughts so carefully under such circumstances. He took a deep look at the other party and did not answer immediately.

Seeing Lu Xun's expression, Ma Tian quickly said:

"It's Tian Menglang. You shouldn't ask the general such questions..."

The joy on Lu Xun's face had dissipated, and he waved his hands and sighed slightly:

"There is nothing that cannot be said about this matter."

He paused and looked east for a while, then said in a low voice:

"Although I won a great victory in the west, over there in Jianye, the country is mourning the loss of its direct descendants!"

"If possible, I would rather trade this Xiangyang City for the health of His Royal Highness..."

When Martin heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Just now I was thinking that it was lucky that the Crown Prince of Wu was short-lived!

Thinking in his mind, Ma Tian's face also changed into a regretful and slightly sad look:

"I have been in Jiangdong for a long time, and I have met His Royal Highness several times. His Royal Highness loves people, loves kindness, and has beautiful virtues."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died young, and Jiangdong lost a wise and wise prince. This is not a blessing to the people. What a pity, what a pity!"

After sighing repeatedly, Ma Tian comforted Lu Xun and said:

"However, Master Wu has many descendants, and I heard that they are all outstanding people. I think he will be able to choose the best and establish him again."

Lu Xun let out a long sigh: "I hope..."

He and Sun Deng had been guarding Wuchang together for several years. Although they were different rulers and ministers, not to mention the age difference, they could be regarded as congenial.

Lu Xun regarded the prince as a wise king, and Sun Deng regarded Lu Xun as a wise minister.

I didn't expect...Alas!

Lu Xun sighed again, not knowing who your Majesty would appoint as the crown prince?

Martin's words that His Majesty's descendants are all outstanding people are really just words of comfort.

In Lu Xun's opinion, among all the princes, none could compare with the prince.

This is where the sadness lies in his heart.

But naturally, I couldn't say this to Martin.

Seeing that Lu Xun had lost interest in talking, Martin was not interested in what was happening in Xiangyang City at this time.

He bowed his hand to Lu Xun:

"General, the matter here is over. I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. I will take the students back to Dahan in the near future. Please allow me, General."

Sun Quan returned from Hefei a few months ago, and the students who accompanied the army also returned to Jianye.

Although there was no chaos in Jianye City due to Sun Deng's death, Ma Tian had many contacts in the past few years. How could he not notice that there was already an undercurrent in Jianye?

So he planned to take the students back to Dahan immediately.

Unexpectedly, just after arriving in Jingzhou, Lu Xun besieged Xiangyang.

At the same time, Guanzhong, or to be precise, Zhongdu escorted a secret message, which happened to involve Lu Xun and Xiangyang.

After weighing it up, Martin decided to use the students' identities to help find out.

At the same time, compared with Sun Quan's attack on Hefei, Lu Xun, the great general, cut off the Han River and besieged Xiangyang, which was obviously more valuable.

Students can better observe the level of water warfare of Wu Kingdom's navy at close range.

Martin will not miss this good opportunity.

Sure enough, in this battle, students could not only see how the Wu navy fought, but also how the navy's warships coordinated with each other.

Even after Martin took out the arch gun, the students were able to board the Wu's core battleship Chang'an and cooperate with the Wu in combat.

It can be said that this battle has been fruitful.

Although he carefully tested and investigated many times, he could not confirm whether Lu Xun was actually connected with Sima Yi.

But the purpose of this trip can be considered to be mostly accomplished.

It's time to retreat.

Lu Xun, on the other hand, had a look of reluctance on his face when he heard Ma Tian bid farewell:

"Sir, are you leaving now?"

"I was ordered by the imperial court to take my students to Jiangdong to learn boating skills. It has been several years now. It's time to go back. How dare I delay?"

Lu Xun took Martin's hand and said sincerely:

"Sir, I haven't thanked you properly for helping me conquer Xiangyang. If I just let you go, wouldn't it look like I'm too heartless?"

Martin laughed, but his attitude was chic:

"The general has just conquered Xiangyang. There are still strong enemies north of the Han River. I don't know how many things are waiting for the general to deal with."

"If it's because of Tian Renren that he misses the important task of joining the general, then it will be a capital crime that cannot be redeemed!"

"I will keep this in mind for now, and I will come back to ask for it when the general is free."

Seeing what Ma Tian said, Lu Xun naturally couldn't say anything else.

Besides, what the other party said is also true.

The capture of Xiangyang is only the beginning, how to deal with the aftermath is also a major event.

Lu Xun looked at the streets of Xiangyang City. There were already excited soldiers of the Wu Army coming out of private houses carrying large and small bags...

He frowned, finally unable to hold on any longer.

Martin surrendered again:

"Then I will resign first."

Turning around, I happened to see Luo Xian and Fu Jian not far away, looking towards the city and seeming to be pointing.

Ma Tian walked over and waved: "Let's go, is there anything good to see?"

The two curled their lips with disdain on their faces: "If you don't want to see it, then you won't see it."

After leaving some distance, Martin slowed down and asked:

"Any ideas?"

"What do you think?" The two looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"I mean, what do you two think about what the Wu people did in Xiangyang City?"

"Everyone in the world criticizes Cao for robbing the city. In my opinion, the Wu people robbing the city is no different. Both of them can be called thieves!"

Fu Jian answered first.

His lord died at the hands of Wu Gou, so naturally he would not have any good impressions of Wu people.

Even if he was sent to study in the Kingdom of Wu, he would not change his views.

Compared with Fu Jian's somewhat personal views, Luo Xian is more objective:

"Most of the elite battalions of the Wu army are composed of generals. When fighting externally, they only like to plunder the people's children and their property, but they are weak in siege and field operations and lack resilience."

"Therefore, even though he knew that looting after breaking the city would cause trouble, Lu Xun had no choice but to act according to the wishes of the generals in the army."

"It can be seen from this that there is insufficient coordination among the various camps of the Wu army, and they seem to be fighting independently. If you look at the big picture from the small, it will be difficult for the Wu country to become a big one."
