Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 234
After Liu Bei led the army into the city, he encountered tenacious resistance, and this situation was within his expectations.

There are [-] defenders in the city. Although they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, they still have an advantage in numbers.

If the four gates were scattered, each gate would have nearly [-] troops. Except for the east gate that Zhang Fei attacked with [-] troops, the rest of the city gates had only [-] troops. very normal.

Now I just hope that Xun Yu and Cao Pi can proceed as planned, and when all the defenders in the city break through the east gate, they will perish!

The city was in chaos now, Liu Bei's army and the defenders in the city were fighting frantically, no one noticed that at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a small group of people slipped away quietly, preparing to escape from the battlefield.

At this moment, Xun Yu brought the people in the house to the vicinity of the North Gate. Under Xun Yu's instructions, everyone hid in the alley of the street.

Xun Yu deeply grasped Liu Bei's psychology, he knew Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, he definitely would not use troops against the people, he would definitely not send people to search streets and small alleys, he did not want to disturb the people in the city.

Now he can only wait until all Liu Bei's troops support the East Gate, that is the best time for them to escape.

Soon, all the defenders in the city received the military order from Xun Yu, and they who were scattered all over the city began to gather together and break out towards the east gate with all their strength.

The pressure on the defenders at the north gate, west gate, and south gate suddenly disappeared. Seeing the defenders in the city who had just resisted tenaciously withdraw in an orderly manner, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun all raised their weapons and shouted to attack.

Soon, the three teams gathered in front of Cao Cao's mansion. At this moment, a cavalry from the east gate reported that all the defenders in the city were forcibly breaking out at the east gate, and General Zhang was about to lose their hold!

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "As expected! Can you see how many soldiers are left in the defenders?"

"There are about five thousand left."

"Where is General Zhang!"

"About [-] soldiers were lost."

"Okay! Zilong, you immediately bring all the brothers to support Yide, remember, don't kill them all."

"As ordered!"

"Report, my lord, according to the report from the officers and men in the city, it is said that a carriage, escorted by dozens of guards, killed our defenders at the west gate and fled Xuchang City from the direction of the west gate."

Guan Yu was very annoyed after hearing this. After all, Ximen was his management position, but now such a thing happened, how could he not be angry!
Liu Bei noticed Guan Yu's change, and immediately said: "It's better to believe that there is something than nothing, Yun Chang, Ximen is your place after all, and you will lead a hundred Qingqi to chase after it. Remember to return to the city before dawn!"

Guan Yu was overjoyed, and immediately got on his horse, and led his men to set off in the direction of Ximen.

After arranging everything, Liu Bei brought dozens of soldiers under him to Cao Cao's mansion, only to find that the mansion was empty, and he felt a little worried.

He immediately began to think about where there were still some flaws in the link he arranged, but now the battle outside is not completely over, Xun Yu and Cao Pi can't say that they have escaped from Xuchang City, things may not be completely accurate!

In addition to the city lord's mansion, another soldier came to report that the corpse of our army was found at the north gate.

Hearing this, Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "How long have you been dead!"

"It is estimated that it has been about half an hour, and the blood has not completely dried up."

It's broken, let them escape!Xun Yu, Xun Yu, I didn't expect you to make such a dangerous move!
At this moment, Liu Bei admired Xun Yu's talent and courage very much. In the face of a sudden attack, he can still have such a thoughtful logic and ability to deal with danger without fear. I am really happy for Cao Cao!

"Will my lord order to pursue them?"

Liu Bei closed his eyes and said slowly, "I won't chase anymore, I can't catch up anymore. I didn't expect that Xun Yu is really a well-deserved genius!"

The battle at the East Gate turned out to be one-sided immediately after Zhao Yun led the reinforcements to arrive.

The powerful firepower of the [-] sergeants led by Zhang Fei caused the [-] defenders a headache, but Zhao Yun's arrival was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The two armies attacked back and forth, with full momentum, and the defenders in the city were defeated on the spot in an instant. They also put down their weapons very wisely and chose to surrender.

Regarding the current tragedy in the city, Liu Bei immediately ordered all the soldiers to repair the damaged buildings in the city, clean up all the corpses on the ground, and restore everything to its original state as soon as possible. The normal life of the residents must not be disturbed.

After dawn, the roads in the city were clean and tidy, and the blood stains on them had been washed away by the soldiers with clean water, exactly as usual.

When Guan Yu came back, he was very annoyed, and repeatedly said that he had fallen for Xun Yu's trick. It was not Xun Yu and Cao Pi who were in the carriage, they were all deceived.

After hearing this, Liu Bei was not surprised. He sighed and said, "After you left, I found out about this matter, but I still have a little bit of luck in my heart."

"I didn't expect Xun Yu to run away even though I had no plan left. Forget it, Yun Chang, go and call Yide and Zilong, and let's discuss what to do in the future."

After Guan Yu left, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun both came to Cao Cao's mansion. As soon as they entered, Zhang Fei said carelessly, "Damn it, Cao Cao is not worthy of living in such a place. This manor I can only be worthy of you, big brother."

"Yide, stop joking. Alas, I didn't expect Xun Yu to escape in such a dangerous situation. It was my mistake."

"What? That man named Xun Yu is really so powerful, he can escape when all the city gates are blocked?" Zhang Fei shouted on the spot, expressing his doubts.

"No, I don't believe it. I'm going to search every place in the city and dig three feet to find him!"

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Guan Yu stepped forward and quickly grabbed him, "Third brother, let's listen to what elder brother has to say first."

"Yide, don't be reckless! I can assure you that Xun Yu has indeed escaped from Xuchang City, so no matter how much you dig in the city, it will be of no avail."

Zhang Fei rubbed his head, "Yes, but big brother, you have arranged so well yesterday, how did he escape?"

"I didn't expect this Xun Yu to be so brave. He escaped from the north gate last night. He must have gone north to Guandu to look for Cao Cao's army."

As soon as Liu Bei said this, the three of Guan, Zhang and Zhao were all surprised. Why?

It's not that they don't believe Liu Bei's words, they just think that Xun Yu is really a hero who survived a desperate situation, just like Cao Cao.

"I am worried that the last thing I want to see may have happened on the Guandu battlefield."
