Chapter 992
Liu Biao was in a coma, and the Cai Mao brothers who were in charge of the troops were killed.
No matter whether others support Liu Cong or Liu Qi, Liu Bei has the greatest voice in Xiangyang now.
He had Zhang Fei around him, and brought five thousand soldiers from Xinye.
Although these five thousand soldiers were given to him by Liu Biao before, Liu Bei had completely conquered them in Xinye during these days.
The news from Jingzhou is now spread to Xudu by Zhong Yao.
Although Cai Mao died, Zhong Yao did not return to Xudu.
Zhong Yao also heard about Xu Du's situation. It would be useless to go back now. It would be better to stay in Jingzhou, and there might be a turning point.
Xu Ducheng!
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao and others did not sleep all night.
"It's dawn, you go. Don't reveal the news of my return for the time being." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Xun Yu and others to leave.
After running in the mountains for several days, he didn't sleep for another night. Cao Cao's current health is no longer as good as before, but he can't hold on.
After Xun Yu and others left, he immediately went to the room to go to bed.
Although the Zhao army might soon kill in and rush into the prime minister's mansion to take his life, Cao Cao believed in Xun You and others.
Only after sleeping well and maintaining enough energy can he have the heart to fight against Zhao Hui.
Since Xun You said that he could delay at least one day, he could delay for one day, and he would wait until he wakes up.
Outside the city!
Early in the morning, as Xun You expected.
Zhao Hui rode a yellow lion and came to the city of Xudu.
"I will only kill Cao Zhe. Open the city gate and you will never die."
"In the battle of Guandu, Cao thieves assassinated the emperor. Why do you still have to serve him?"
Zhao Hui's voice was very loud, and the soldiers on the city wall could hear it clearly.
But Man Chong Xun You and Cheng Yu were all on the city wall at this moment. Even if they agreed in their hearts and wanted to surrender, they would not dare to speak. They just looked at Zhao Jun under the city coldly and fearfully.
They are all new recruits. Even if they have a city wall, they are still afraid in their hearts when facing the army under the city.
"General, Cao Gong is not in the city." Xun You shouted while standing on the top of the city.
"If you want to kill Cao Gong, you can search elsewhere. This is the capital of the country. If the general has the emperor in his heart, he begs to retreat to his troops."
Zhao Hui said: "Sir, since you say that Cao thief is not in the city, do you dare to open the city and ask me to search? If Cao thief is really not in the city, or ask me to kill Cao thief, I will withdraw my troops immediately and return to Jizhou."
Xun You said: "It is okay for a general to enter the city, but the army behind the general cannot enter the city."
"Sir, do you mean that I want me to enter the city alone?" Zhao Hui asked back.
"Lord, no." Zhang Wang Xu Shu and others said immediately behind him.
On the city wall, Xun You said: "The emperor is in the capital, how can the princes' army enter the city? I hope the general will forgive me."
"What if I insist on leading my army into the city?" Zhao Hui said.
"Then I can only report to the emperor that the general is a traitor. The general just leads his army to attack the city."
"Xun You, you have to know that Xu Ducheng cannot stop my army." Zhao Hui said: "I don't attack the city now, I just don't want to kill too much."
"You just knew that the general was kind, but the capital was located, and the troops behind the general must not enter the city. If the general is afraid that I am ambushing the city, he can bring his personal guards into the city. This is a national gift and cannot be surrendered." Xun You said.
"The lord must not take risks. I am willing to enter the city and search for Cao Cao's whereabouts."
Dian Wei was right next to Zhao Hui. His black whirlwind was also holding his head up, and his two halberds hung on both sides of the black whirlwind.
Zhao Hui can't take the risk to enter the city, but he can.
"Don't worry, Fengxiao, do you think Cao Cao is back?" Zhao Hui asked.
After Guo Jia and Zhao Yun delivered the remaining food and grass to Puyang, they immediately rushed to Xudu.
"All roads have been blocked by us, and Cao Cao cannot come back." Zhang Wang said.
"Not necessarily. If Cao Cao walked on the mountain road, our people might not know."
"The mountain road is not easy to walk, but the distance is short. According to the calculations from Puyang, these days, it is enough for Cao Cao to return to Xudu." Guo Jia said.
"If Cao Cao had returned to Xudu, why didn't he show up?" Xu Shu said.
Guo Jia said: "It's very simple, making us think he hasn't come back yet. But this is just a guess. Xun You is delaying time now. Cao Cao may have come back, but he didn't think of a way to deal with us, or he may not have come back. Xun You deliberately delayed time and wanted to wait for Cao Cao to return."
"Then do we want to attack?" Dian Wei said. He wanted to attack immediately and break into Xudu.
"The best choice is naturally to defeat others without fighting."
Xun You indeed grasped Zhao Hui's psychology.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, you can attack today. You are sending someone to sneak into the city to find out the news at night."
"If Xun You wants to delay time, let him delay for a day, let's see what strategy he has."
Xun You and others had no strategy, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu were also very clear that with Xu Du's current strength, even if Cao Cao came back, he could not stop Zhao Hui's army, otherwise Jia Xu would not suggest that Zhao Hui would lead the first army of 20,000.
While Zhao Hui and Guo Jia were discussing, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others also looked solemn on the city wall.
Cheng Yu said: "Gongda, will Zhao Hui enter the city?"
Xun You said sure: "He will definitely not come in alone."
"What if he leads his troops to attack the city?"
"Don't worry, Zhao Hui won't attack."
However, as soon as Xun You finished speaking, Man Chong said, "The Zhao army is going to attack."
He saw that Zhao's army began to mobilize.
A team of soldiers began to press against the city wall.
"Gongda, this..." Cheng Yu pointed at Zhao Jun outside the city.
"Don't worry, this should be the Zhao army's feint attack." Xun You's expression remained unchanged.
He believed in his judgment. Looking at Zhao Hui's several battles, he rarely began to forcibly attack the city as soon as he arrived.
He believed in his judgment that Zhao Hui cherished the lives of the soldiers below more than them.
"Stop." Man Chong commanded on the city wall.
Although the cavalry commander Wang Cai proposed to open the city and surrender yesterday, he still stands tall on the city wall at this moment.
He hopes to open the city gate to surrender and avoid unnecessary casualties.
But if he wants to fight, he won't back down.
"Not good, no good, Zhao army has captured the city."
On the city wall, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and others were all unscathed in the face of changes.
But in the city, after hearing that the Zhao army had attacked the city, it was already in chaos.
Those ordinary people were close to the door of the house, and even blocked them with stone sticks and tables and chairs behind the door.
And those civil servants were also panicked.
Many people have already ordered the servants to hide their money from their families.
Leave only some worthless things.
The former luxury mansion is now empty.
Among the servants, some people even stole things and ran away directly.
In the palace, everyone became quick and fast.
The palace maids and eunuchs were carrying things. If they hadn't had the guards, they would have already escaped with things.
