Chapter 179 177. Zi Shi (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Huang Yueying was eating dried bananas and reading a book in the camp.

Cai Mao, Huo Jun, Zhang Qian and Liu Bei each commanded their soldiers to continuously attack the city.

Seeing that the sun was about to set and the sound of gold ringing from all directions, Huang Yueying finally left the camp.

The city wall to the south of Xuchang City now has several gaps, covered with dark red bloodstains and dark smoke traces, testifying to today's battle.

Cao's soldiers who were guarding the city saw that the sun was about to set and the enemy was also calling for money to withdraw their troops, so they completely relaxed. Today's defense of the city can breathe a sigh of relief.

Smoke suddenly rose from all the camps.

Several siege generals also gathered to the south of Xuchang City again.

"Cao's soldiers don't have many troops to attack the city today." Cai Mao was a little excited, "Maybe we can break the city tomorrow."

Huo Jun frowned and said, "Military advisors, please don't be careless. After all, Xuchang is under the emperor's command. It can't be that simple."

Zhang Qian nodded in agreement.

Cai Mao was a little unhappy. He glanced at Huo Jun and remembered that this man once led a thousand soldiers to kill a barbarian army that was ten times the enemy. He endured it. After all, he was his own general. "Having said that, Cao's soldiers are not well guarded." , is a fact.”

"What General Cai said is that Cao's army does not have enough troops." Liu Bei also agreed with this point.

If he hadn't had a little more control today, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu would have entered the city.

Although they wanted to welcome the emperor, the price of actually fighting into the city would be too high. However, Liu Xuande had not fought such a rich battle for a long time, and he almost couldn't control it.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Cai Mao felt a little happier, and then looked at Huang Yueying, "Achu, tonight... is it possible?"

"Maybe, we'll just wait for the signal." Huang Yueying smiled, "Uncle, generals, eat well and sleep well tonight. When the time comes, we will kill the enemy."

"Hahaha, don't worry!" Cai Hao was in high spirits and cheered.

As long as he can welcome back the Emperor, his previous defeat by Sun Ce will be nothing.

…

In Xuchang City, Xun Mansion.

"It's nightfall now. Xu has reached an agreement with several important families. After dinner, he will send troops and horses to defend the city." Jia Xu said to Xun Yu.

"Thank you for your hard work Wenhe."

"It's not hard work." Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, "I heard that the attack from the south is very dangerous. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have already rushed to the city wall several times..."

Xun Yu was also silent.

Almost all of Cao Cao's fierce generals were transferred to Guandu.

The alliance between Liu Bei and the Jingzhou Army caused great confusion in the city, and many surrounding counties and cities... were probably starting to take sides, and it was a complete mess.

In the immediate emergency, the only way to help Cao Cao is to send troops to help.

All he can do is wait for help.

However, there is a huge gap in military strength, and I am afraid that sticking to it will become a joke.

"In my opinion, it is better for the Emperor to meet with General Zuo." Jia Xu added.

Xun Yu:……

"Today, I'm going down to invite the wealthy households in the city. These wealthy households have begun to arrange for the transfer of their family properties to Jingzhou a few months ago. Now people's hearts are not solid, and only the emperor's intervention can have any effect." Jia Xu shook his head, " Moreover, this world belongs to the Han family after all, so aren’t General Zuo or Jingzhou Mu all clan members of the Han family?"

"Tomorrow, Wen He and you will be responsible for this matter." Xun Yu closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. He just wanted the emperor to see Liu Bei and reprimand him... It shouldn't be a big deal.

…

Inside Xuchang Palace.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, Liu Xie chuckled. The thousands of troops in the day had to have dinner after all.

I don’t know what the other party’s arrangements were for tonight.

If he succeeds, he has a chance of truly becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty, instead of... a prisoner with the title of emperor.

…

Wang Can stood in his brother's yard and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

He went to the city two days ago and used Chuzhi to clear the way and inquired about a lot of news. His old friends had already been observing the current situation.

Cao Sikong rejected Yuan Shao and Sili in the north, and the people in the hinterland of Yuzhou were unstable.

Now that the Jingzhou army is marching north to attack the city, how can they not be afraid? On the contrary, if they can protect the emperor and go to Jingzhou at this time, then when they arrive in Jingzhou, won't they be at a higher level?

These were all analyzed by Achu for him.

A Chu said that as long as he pays a little visit to these old friends and reveals such small thoughts, they will definitely think more about them.

However, he did not expect that he would also meet his brother Wang Zhao in Xuchang City.

"Zhongxuan." Wang Zhao saw Wang Can and shouted with a smile.

"Brother."

"Let's go into the house."

"good."

After the two of them entered the study, Wang Zhao spoke, "There was chaos in the city today. Shizhong Xun asked Jia Wenhe to go to various aristocratic families to ask for reinforcements. This was one of the reasons. Secondly, Jia Wenhe also asked for food from the rich households in the city.

We raised a lot of money and raised a lot of food, but those wealthy households... felt resentful."

Wang Can understood.

The war is raging outside, and people in the city are panicked.

Recruiting private soldiers from aristocratic families and taking money and food from wealthy households are all routine operations.

At this time, no matter whether it is a wealthy family or a wealthy family, there will be resentment in their hearts.

Coupled with the fact that the war in the north is currently unclear, and recent bad news about Cao's army has come, people's hearts are agitated, and a little fire... is like a spark falling into a dry woodpile, which will burst into flames.

However, if this happens... a lot of people will bleed tonight.

"As far as Brother Wei knows... someone has already planned it... It's just that there is no channel to convey the news to the outside world."

Wang Can frowned, "How does brother know?"

"Today there were many officials outside the palace gate to see the emperor, but they were driven back." Wang Zhao continued.

Wang Can immediately thought about it and said to Wang Zhao, "Brother, please send someone to send a message... that tonight at the ugly hour, open the city gates and use the signal of raising fire, and Jingzhou soldiers will enter the city."

Wang Zhao nodded, "I know."

"Don't want to be discovered."

"Okay." Wang Zhao smiled.

He still loves and protects his clan brother whose name has been revealed since he was a child.

The current situation was turbulent, and the Wang family was scattered everywhere.

If the emperor can go to Jingzhou, the Wang family will have great achievements. Whether they can restore the glory of their ancestors depends on this time.

Furthermore, the emperor is in Xudu, which is no different from being in jail. What happened at the beginning of the year...who doesn't feel aggrieved for the emperor?

Many of them had to bow their heads because of Cao Cao's power.

"I have to ask my brother to arrange everything in the palace."

"Brothers like you and me, we don't speak the same language. Now that the emperor is being bullied, I, the Wang family, have been living in Han Dynasty for generations, so I have to be loyal to the emperor." Wang Zhao stood up, smiled, and patted Wang Can on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Zhongxuan, the palace has made arrangements for my brother."

"Thank you, brother."

…

Xun Mansion.

Xun Yu sighed, but it was such a troubled time.

He waved his hand and let the attendant go down.

…

It's night.

Zi Shi.

Huang Yueying has already put on her armor and is sitting in the tent.

Not long after, Liu Bei and others also entered the accounts one by one.

"We haven't seen the final signal yet." Liu Bei said, and then looked at the young gentleman in charge, feeling a little passionate in his heart.

"General, don't worry." Huang Yueying shook her head and smiled.
