Chapter 998: Entering Xu Duqiu was not guilty

Xiahoudun kept giving orders to let the soldiers and horses in the city rush out, and he didn't care how big the casualties were after going out, and whether he could rush out or not.

He himself remained at the gate of the city, and did not rush out.

Outside, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Zhao Hui were all there, and if Xiahou Tang dared to go out, he would definitely be killed by the three of them.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

In the west of the city, the 10,000-strong Cao army, although not elite soldiers in a hundred battles, are also veterans.

With Xiahoudun in command here, even if they were not the opponents of the Zhao army, they would not collapse so easily.

And it's dark now, and the Cao army, who hasn't gone out in the city, doesn't know the battle situation outside.

They don't know how many people who went out died, and they don't know how many more people managed to get out

Xiahoudun was at the city gate, Xiahoudun did not panic, and Xiahoudun kept telling them that only by killing out can they live.

The battle in the west of the city was very tragic.

10,000 Cao troops, as long as they are out of the city, few people can escape.

At the gate of the city, the water that had been surrounded by Zhao Jun was impassable.

Even if there were many Cao soldiers, they did not die at the hands of Zhao Hui, Zhao Yundian, and Wei.

However, in the face of 10,000 elite Zhao troops, they are also like sheep into a wolf pack.

He was lucky enough to kill a few Zhao soldiers, and he was soon killed by other Zhao soldiers.

In the dark night, no one saw the tears in Xiahoudun's eyes.

His voice was hoarse, but he was still shouting, ordering.

He is the only one among the 10,000 people who knows that these veterans have been abandoned.

Xiahoudun knew better in his heart that his order was to let these people jump into the fire pit.

Rushing out, there is no way to live, they are just tools to be used to stall for time.

Cao Cao had already left from the south gate with important people.

On the south side of the gate, there are also Zhao Hui's exploration horses.

But at this time, even if Cao Cao and his party were discovered, and they wanted to pass the news to Zhao Hui, it was not so fast and easy.

Zhao Hui was killing the enemy, and there was a sea of people on the side.

If Tanma wants to get close to Zhao Hui, he needs layers of retribution, and he needs to pass through the large array of 10,000 people.

On the contrary, in the north of the city, Guo Jia, who had just finished the battle, received the news faster.

Guo Jia asked Pei Yuanshao to lead a group of men and horses first and quickly rushed to the south of the city.

But this 10,000-strong army, just finished a battle, physical exertion is very large, this has not started to rest, and has to rush to the south of the city, but the physical strength can not keep up, the speed is much slower than usual.

When Pei Yuanshao arrived in the west of the city with his men and horses, Zhao Hui also received the news.

But at this time, Cao Cao had already run out of more than ten miles with the little emperor.

Inside the city, Xiahoudun was still giving orders, and he was still letting those veterans rush outside the city.

Even in the city, there were 10,000 veterans who were waiting densely, but there were not many left.

In the dark night, no one knows how many people were killed and wounded.

Xiahoudun didn't want to count, he was just numb and stiff, and let the veterans in the city rush out of the city to die, just to buy enough time for Cao Cao.

After Pei Yuanshao arrived in the west of the city, he just asked someone to inform Zhao Hui of the news, and then continued to turn to the south of the city immediately.

But by the time he arrived in the south of the city, Cao Cao had already disappeared with the little emperor.

According to the information provided by Tanma, Pei Yuanshao continued to pursue along the road, almost at dawn. The soldiers brought with him were all exhausted, but they still did not catch up with Cao Cao, so they had to collect their troops and return.

And Zhao Hui's battle in the west of the city is also over.

The city gate was wide open, but not a single Cao soldier rushed out from here.

The 10,000 Cao troops in the hands of Xiahoudun were all killed.

Fewer than 100 people actually managed to escape.

"Into town!" Zhao Hui ordered.

It's almost dawn.

Many scouts have already searched the city, and it can be determined that there will be no more ambushes in the city.

On this night, Cao's army suffered heavy losses.

Cao Cao, with the little emperor, had fled from Xudu.

"It is forbidden to touch the stitches of the people."

This is already Zhao Jun's habit.

Even if there is no order from Zhao Hui, the soldiers in the army will not break into the people's houses for no reason.

In the city, these people are safest when they hide in their houses.

They don't need to worry about being killed or robbed of their belongings.

That night, many of the people in the city were sleepless.

In the first half of the night, there was heavy footsteps, marching on the streets, and then the Zhao army was heard attacking the city, and then on the west side of the city, the shouting and killing were even more tragic.

After Zhao Hui entered the city, he immediately took Huang Kui and others to Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion.

It's just that the huge Prime Minister's Mansion is already empty.

In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, not a single figure can be seen.

Although it was impossible for Cao Cao to take everyone away, including the maids and servants.

But when it was time to leave, these people were dismissed first.

Even if Cao Cao didn't dismiss them, he fled overnight when he saw his master dragging his family with him.

The maids and servants in the mansion didn't dare to stay here anymore.

Many people took something of value and fled back to their homes.

Even if they had no relatives in the city, they went to their friends' houses.

I didn't have any friends, so I went outside and found a place to hide.

Don't dare to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhao Hui immediately took people to the palace.

There were still some people in the palace who didn't leave.

Xun Yu can only take care of the little emperor, those palace maids and eunuchs, if they can keep up, they will keep up with themselves, and Xun Yu who can't keep up will not take care of it.

Anyway, the emperor just needs to bring it.

There are still many people in the palace, but they are all in chaos.

When Zhao Hui entered the palace, there was even a palace maid, carrying a pile of gold and silver, and ran in front of him in a panic.

There are too many valuable things in the palace.

Unlike the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao has always advocated frugality, even his own family, and he is not allowed to wear silk.

In the mansion, there was not much value at all, he took a little by himself, and the rest of the people took a little and it was gone.

Although the emperor is a puppet in Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao has always strictly followed the emperor's standards in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and has not reduced etiquette because the Son of Heaven is a puppet.

Xudu Palace, although it is not as good as the original Luoyang Palace.

But it was also built by Cao Cao, and all kinds of ornaments in the palace, that is, tables and chairs, were made according to the best.

The clothes of the emperor's concubines are also the best satin.

Gold, silver and jade, also put a lot.

Zhao Hui's men and horses, after entering the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who stayed in the palace were even more chaotic.

"Pacify them, don't hurt people, all the things in the palace are not allowed to be taken away, let people count carefully, those eunuchs and palace maids, all the property they took away without permission will be confiscated."

Zhao Hui saw the messy palace, so he gave another order.

"Those who are still alive, gather together and count them first."
