In the middle of the night, the west gate of Hefei City quietly opened

The Jiangdong army surrounded the three gates, and the enemy troops were surrounded by enemy troops outside the other three gates, and if they wanted to get out of the city, they had to leave through the west gate

Groups of soldiers quietly withdrew from the west gate, and everyone was quiet to the extreme, for fear of accidentally making too much noise and attracting the enemy from the other three gates

After leaving the city, all the soldiers marched cautiously, although they could not see their fingers at this time, Zhang Liao still sent the scouts out to investigate carefully, for fear that there were Jiangdong army sentry sentries hidden nearby, so that the movement of the self-army would be exposed

The Jiangdong army did send additional sentry spies to watch the situation at the west gate during the day, but when the Jiangdong army retreated at dusk, these sentry spies all returned, after all, the role of the sentry spies will be greatly reduced at night, rather than let them do useless work, it is better to come back to rest, even if they are as wise as Zhou Yu, they would never have imagined that the Hefei defenders would abandon the city in the middle of the night

After only one night, there were only 2,000 soldiers left in Hefei City to talk about it for the purpose of containing the Jiangdong army

The next day, Sun Jian's army attacked the city again, originally according to Zhou Yu's calculations, the morale of the defenders in the city was still strong, and the defensive equipment was not exhausted, and if you want to break through the city, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days

However, to Zhou Yu's surprise, it only took an hour to attack the city, and some soldiers landed on the top of the city

Accompanied by the soldiers who were the first to climb the city, the Jiangdong army followed closely followed by the city wall like a tide

Immediately after the city of Hefei was broken

With a surprised mood, Zhou Yu rode a horse and followed Sun Jian into Hefei City

After entering the city, Zhou Yu was even more surprised, and the defenders in Hefei City were pitiful

It stands to reason that this will never be the case, a few days ago, Cao Cao's reinforcements had just arrived, could tens of thousands of people still disappear out of thin air

When the captured soldiers were called, they found out that the other defenders in the city had abandoned the city last night

Hearing this news, Zhou Yu's wisdom couldn't help but feel confused

How can it be possible to abandon the city and leave, the importance of Hefei City needless to say, presumably any general of the Cao army should understand that it is a barrier to defend the southeast of Xuchang, how can it be said that it is abandoned and abandoned

After conquering Hefei, the Jiangdong army only needed to go north along Yingshui, and then it could drive straight to the city of Xuchang

Even if he is a cowardly general, I am afraid that he did not give up the courage of Hefei City lightly, if he dared to do so, he might be beheaded by Cao Cao, then it is better to surrender Jiangdong directly

What's more, although the battle situation in Hefei is unfavorable, it is far from the end of the road

The guards in Hefei City, Zhang Liao, Li Dian and others are all good generals, so they will not be able to see the situation in front of them clearly, what is the purpose of abandoning the city so easily

"Sons, Hefei City has been broken, but you can slaughter the city for a day to thank me for the hatred of losing my son," but before Zhou Yu could think too much, the sound of Sun Jian ordering the slaughter of the city came from his ears

Zhou Yu felt in his heart that the slaughter of the city could not be done

Sun Quan's weight in Sun Jian's heart is really not light, he was precocious when he was young, and Sun Jian was quite spoiled, it can be said that among Sun Jian's sons, the most favored by him is not the brave and fierce eldest Sun Ce, who has the style of a father, but the smart and clever second son Sun Quan

The beloved son was killed by Cao Cao, which made Sun Jian hateful, and he had no strength to take revenge before, so he could only let Sun Jian force this breath in his heart, and now once he found an outlet, he could no longer suppress it, and poured out a breath

Sun Jianke has never been a good stubble, if he initiates a ruthless attack, he is really a vicious tiger that will devour people

"The matter of the lord slaughtering the city must not be feasible......" Although he knew that Sun Jian might not be able to listen to his words now, out of a sense of responsibility, Zhou Yu still stepped forward to admonish

"Gongjin doesn't have to say much," but Zhou Yu was interrupted by Sun Jian halfway through the fight, "In the past, the father of the Cao thief was only attacked in Xuzhou and was not killed, so the Cao thief raised troops to attack Xuzhou, and there were many slaughters in the prefectures and counties through which he passed, and now I want to avenge the murder of my son, why should I slaughter Hefei?"

Can this be a truth, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the past, Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, and it was clear that he was under the banner of avenging his father, which was quite unreasonable, and now Sun Jian's attack on Cao was in the name of righteousness and thieves, how could he still do such an act of slaughtering the city, which was pointed out by thousands of people

What's more, although Cao Cao's strength was not as strong as it is now, compared to Tao Qian, he still won a lot of killings, which could deepen the fear of the people and the army in Xuzhou, and now although there are three armies attacking Cao together, Cao Cao's power is still huge, and it is not easy to destroy it in one fell swoop, even if the coalition army captures Xuchang, Cao Cao leads the army to retreat north, and can still live in You, Hebei, and Sanzhou

In this case, if Hefei City is slaughtered, it can only arouse the hostility of the Cao army, and it is not himself who will be in trouble in the end

And from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yu himself did not approve of the slaughter of the city

However, how could Sun Jian's hatred of losing his son be swallowed so easily

In an instant, the city of Hefei was filled with the smell of killing, mourning all over the wilderness, and blood flowing......
