178. Palace Chaos (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

The north wind blows and the grass on the ground is broken, and the sky is full of snow in August.

It's early October now, and even though Guandu is not particularly far north, the temperature is already quite low.

Guo Jia tightened his cloak tightly and sighed slightly. He knew that Xu Du would not be safe there, but if Wen Ruo was there, the lord should not be so angry.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao doesn't have to worry for the time being.

By the time he entered the camp, everyone else had already arrived.

"Fengxiao is here." Cao Cao saw Guo Jia, who was wrapped in thick clothes, and asked for help, "It's not mine. I have to bother Fengxiao in the middle of the night."

"It's your duty to share your worries with Lord Jia." Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Has Jingzhou been attacked?"

Cao Cao nodded, handed the letter to Guo Jia, then looked at the important ministers in the camp, but did not answer.

Others had no choice but to sit quietly and wait for the outcome of the discussion between Cao Cao and the military advisor.

"Thirteen thousand soldiers marched north from Xiangyang." Guo Jia sighed, "Now Wancheng has been recaptured by Liu Biao. If Jingzhou wants to attack Xudu, there is no need to worry about logistics. Wen Ruo's guess should be right. Liu Biao is not willing to accept Cai Mao's offer.

The failure made me think again."

"What do you think I should do as a filial piety?" Cao Cao asked patiently.

"Yuan Shao has fled in panic during this battle, and we have been on the campaign for nearly a year." Guo Jia smiled, but coughed slightly, "The weather is getting cold, it's time to return to Xudu."

Cao Cao was silent.

This battle he fought was a defensive battle.

It was Yuan Shao who came to attack, so he had to fight back.

Indeed, it has been almost a year.

Twenty thousand soldiers defeated one hundred thousand, a good record.

Yes, he can't be greedy anymore.

He had to go back and recuperate before conquering Yuan Shao next year. In this battle, he almost destroyed most of Yuan Shao's troops, and the opponent must have been injured.

"What Fengxiao said is that the soldiers should also be homesick." So, Cao Cao smiled, and then said, "Order! The troops will be sent to class tomorrow!"

"promise!"

So, Cao Cao made arrangements one by one. Finally, he looked at Cao Ren and said, "My son is filial."

"exist."

"You immediately order five thousand cavalry and return to Xudu with me."

"Now?" Cao Ren's eyes widened.

"Yes, immediately." Cao Cao nodded.

Xun Yu's speculation in the letter was that he had prepared for the worst. Wancheng was recaptured and the Jingzhou army moved north. It is impossible for Cai Mao in Duyang to just watch... In other words, Xuchang may have been surrounded by

Surrounded.

It was okay to surround him, but he also knew that many people in Xuchang had written letters of surrender to Yuan Shao.

Coupled with the stimulation from the Jingzhou Army, I'm afraid... people's hearts will be unstable, and those people will open the city and surrender!

How could he not be in a hurry!

He has developed so hard for so many years, how could he let the little emperor escape from his hands?

Even if this person is Liu Biao!

He, Cao Cao, is the official of the Han Dynasty! Everything he does is for the Han Dynasty!

There was just a small misunderstanding between him and the emperor!

"No!" Cao Ren agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.

Guo Jia closed his eyes and said nothing.

Others were surprised. They would be dispatched tomorrow, but now they want to pick up 5,000 cavalry and go back to Xudu in the middle of the night?

It's dark and windy this night... Sikong is too anxious!

But they didn't question it. They could only see that Xu Du was in a critical situation.

"I'd like to go with Sikong." Zhang Xiu stood up.

The Jingzhou army attacked and Wancheng was thrown back. As a newly surrendered person, he should put more effort into it.

Then, other generals also requested orders.

Cao Cao appeased Zhang Xiu, and everyone else appeased him one by one.

The opponent was the Jingzhou Army, Zhang Xiu was... at least a little more familiar with him, and he saw Zhang Xiu's bravery.

…

Outside Xuchang City.

Huang Yueying has asked Liu Bei, Cai Mao, Zhang Qian, Huo Jun and others to wait for the signal. After all, there is no stipulation on which city gate... Wang Can only has three days to enter the city. It is relatively difficult to complete two tasks. In addition, She had people on all sides of Xuchang City, so...it didn't matter which side sent the signal.

The point is, the palace.

…

At this time, Xun Yu didn't sleep either.

That group of people wanted to support the Jingzhou army... He wanted to use their plan.

The north gate and the east gate.

Xun Yu sighed and calculated that if the messengers changed their horses but not their men, the letter should be in Cao Cao's hands by now. In any case, he would have to delay it for at least three more days, so tonight, he must defeat the Jingzhou army. .

…

Ugly time.

On the east and north walls of Xuchang City, dozens of torches were suddenly raised, and then the city gates were opened.

In the north, Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard the news.

To the east, Zhang Qian was also very happy.

The two men directly ordered to storm the city. For a while, there were loud shouts of killing.

The city gates on both sides were already filled with blood. Private soldiers from several aristocratic families were hacked to pieces by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Remember, let the vanguard come in! Then close the city gate and fight me!"

"promise!"

…

South and west.

Liu Bei and Huo Jun naturally heard the movement in the adjacent direction, and thought to themselves that those two sides were lucky.

Then, they ordered people to start pushing the giant trees to hit the city gates in their respective directions.

Although it is difficult to attack the city at night.

But, it can be overcome anyway, just light more torches.

…

In the city, the people who had been frightened all day fell asleep.

At this time, when they heard the cry of killing, everyone was trembling and looking for a place to hide. If the soldiers came in, with good luck... they might be able to escape this disaster.

As for the various aristocratic families, except for those who were firmly on Cao Cao's side, other families began to wait and see, and some even looked towards the direction of the palace, thinking... After today, the world's structure will change again.

…

Cai Mao urged the soldiers forward, but before the large troops could enter, the city gate was closed again.

Inside the city gate, shouts of killing were heard.

He then knew that Cao Jun was prepared!

"Come here, take the rolling log and break open the city gate for me!"

"promise!"

To attack the city, we will not run out of equipment, but now we have to go back to the camp to get them.

Since there were already Jingzhou soldiers inside, he knew that as long as he cooperated faster, he could rush in again.

…

Zhang Qian also encountered the same problem.
