Gou writes entries in the Three Kingdoms

Among the strategies previously formulated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei to face the enemy,
All arrangements are for the defense of the city. As for how to respond after Liu Xuan's army breaks the city,

The two parties actually had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it.

Perhaps it was because he knew that Liu Xuan's army had already broken through the city and no matter how many arrangements were made, it would be in vain.

The situation was indeed as they expected,
Liu Xuan's army broke through the gate and dealt a huge blow to Cao Cao's defenders. The battle at the gate of the city was almost devastating.

The reinforcements that arrived later saw that the city gate had completely fallen into Liu Xuan's hands, and decisively chose to retreat instead of driving Liu Xuan's army out of Xuchang.

Liu Xuan's army had been attacking the city for more than a month, and now they finally entered the city. The soldiers' morale was high and they didn't feel tired at all.
They continued to charge until the sun was high and half of the entire Xuchang City was cleared, and then they gathered and organized in the city.

Xuchang Palace.

Cao Cao hurriedly entered the palace with a group of personal guards. Due to the continuous war, the morning court had been canceled in the palace, and officials were not allowed to visit at will on weekdays.

As soon as Cao Cao took over all government affairs, he had full authority to handle them.
After all, this is a wartime situation. If you have to pretend to ask the emperor for instructions on everything, it will affect the efficiency of work to some extent.

Cao Cao simply didn't bother to pretend, he just snatched the emperor's jade seal and stamped it himself when something happened.

However, seeing that Xuchang was about to lose, Cao Cao immediately thought of Liu Xie.

Holding the emperor hostage to make the princes happy gave Cao Cao an excellent experience.

Although the palace door was open, the emperor did not go to court. Cao Cao led people directly to Weiyang Palace to find Liu Xie.
Before I reached it, I saw a group of people coming out of Wuyang Palace.

Cao Cao's eyes moved and he caught a glimpse of the leader who seemed a little familiar.

Taking a closer look, this man has a beard, a big aquiline nose, and deep-set eye sockets, unlike those of a Han Chinese.

Isn't this the foreigner Moss beside Liu Bei?

A month ago, Liu Bei assisted in defending the city. It was this foreigner who directed the firing of powerful crossbows and catapults, causing considerable casualties to Liu Xuan.
Cao Cao remembered this person at that time, but Liu Bei seemed to be quite secretive about this person's origin, and did not let Cao Cao have the opportunity to contact him at all.

Seeing this person at this time, Cao Cao immediately stopped the team and

"Wait a minute, Mr. Moss, aren't you the counselor beside Duke Xuande? Why do you appear in Weiyang Palace?"

Moss was stopped by Cao Cao, and a strange look flashed across his face. He quickly regained his composure, smiled and replied in broken Chinese,

"Moss has seen Duke Cao. Liu Xuan invaded Xuchang. Uncle Liu is afraid that the rebel army will attack the palace gate, so he ordered me to lead people to the palace to protect His Majesty the Han Emperor."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. For such an important matter as protecting the emperor, Liu Xuande did not come in person, but instead asked such a foreigner to come.

Then he asked: "Where is Mr. Xuande?"

"Oh, hehe, Uncle Liu Huang is leading his troops to fight Liu Xuan on the front line."

Moss looked humble and bowed slightly and asked Cao Cao, "Uncle Liu is still resisting desperately, waiting for Duke Cao to gather his army to help the battle. The front line is so important that Uncle Liu dare not leave without authorization. I wonder why Duke Cao is here? Also, Duke Cao When can the army be assembled and go to the east gate to defend the enemy? I will see Uncle Liu Huang soon and convey the news to him."

"Uh~" Cao Cao was stunned when Moss asked him. At this time, he was a coach who did not go to the front line to command, but instead brought people to the palace. Compared with Liu Bei who was on the front line, it was indeed a bit unreasonable, so he had to say awkwardly, "I have the same idea as Mr. Xuande, and I also came to see if His Majesty is safe."

"How is your majesty now? Have you ever seen your majesty?"

Moss shook his head and said: "We did not enter Weiyang Palace to see His Majesty. We just asked the chamberlain to pass the message. Your Majesty said that everything is fine with him and asked us to retreat. We are preparing to return to the front line."

Cao Cao nodded: "Well, then you can go ahead and tell Duke Xuande that I am reorganizing the troops. The whole army can launch a counterattack tomorrow and let him withstand tonight."

"Yes, I will definitely bring Mr. Cao's words." The corner of Moss's mouth raised slightly, and a trace of ridicule flashed across his lips, but he hid it very well and did not let Cao Cao see it.

Cao Cao looked at the retreating figures of Mosi's group, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for the moment. The situation was urgent. He needed to take the emperor to escape from Xuchang City, and then return to Yanzhou with a large army.

As long as the army is in hand and the emperor is in hand, he still has a chance to rise.

As for Liu Bei, let him stand up to Liu Xuan. The longer it takes, the better.

Cao Cao quickly came to Weiyang Palace with a small calculation, and saw that the internal servants who usually waited outside the palace were not there either.
He didn't bother to report, just opened the door curtain and barged in.

But as soon as he entered the door, Cao Cao smelled a strong smell of blood. When he lowered his head, he saw the two chamberlains lying on the ground, their bodies still twitching slightly. Blood flowed out from under them, dyeing the corridor red.

"not good!"

Cao Cao strode into Liu Xie's palace and saw several palace maids lying on the ground, completely dead.

Emperor Liu Xie was lying on the couch, and there was no movement.

Cao Cao turned Liu Xie over and saw Liu Xie's eyes widened, his tongue sticking out of his mouth, and the dark red marks on his neck were shocking.

The emperor has been assassinated!
Cao Cao suddenly turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, catch those people just now."

Then he led the soldiers and rushed out of Weiyang Palace, but Moss's group outside the palace had long disappeared.

The city is in chaos now, and it is impossible to chase a group of people.

Cao Cao stood in front of Weiyang Palace, his mind spinning.

Liu Xie is dead, apparently killed by Liu Bei's men.

Cao Cao couldn't figure out why Liu Bei wanted to kill Liu Xie, but time no longer allowed him to think too much. The key now was not to let people think that he killed the emperor.

Cao Cao quickly took out the emperor's seal that he had snatched from Liu Xie and put it back on Liu Xie's desk in Weiyang Palace. Then he ordered his men to close the gate of Weiyang Palace and no one was allowed to see him.

He knew that after Liu Xuan invaded Xuchang, his next step would definitely be to occupy the palace and then take the emperor away.

Anyway, before the war started, Cao Cao borrowed the emperor's hand to write an imperial edict, asking Liu Bei to take Jingzhou to mobilize troops.

So at least Liu Biao of Jingzhou knew about the emperor's imperial edict. Cao Cao only needed a little guidance to make the people's public opinion follow the expected direction.

After making up his mind, Cao Cao stopped staying and immediately gathered an army to escape from Xuchang.

As for Liu Bei, of course it is impossible that he is leading his troops to fight on the front line as Moss said.

In fact, as soon as the city gate was broken, Liu Bei knew that the situation was over, so he let the troops who were not his direct lineage defend the front line with Cao Cao's army.
Secretly, he ordered the troops from all the confidants to quickly gather and escape to the west gate of Xuchang.

Outside the west gate, there were more than 2 troops led by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu who had returned from Chilechuan.

Liu Bei transferred 6 horses from Jingzhou, and more than 2 people escaped from the city. They joined forces with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops, and there were still 5 people.

It was not advisable to stay here for a long time. After Liu Bei gathered his troops, he found that Mosi and other soldiers of the Yousi tribe had not escaped from the city.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei ordered the army to set off.

Subconsciously, Liu Bei hoped that Moss and the others would die in Xuchang City.But the army had just set out, and not far behind them, Moss trotted up with a group of gossamers.

Liu Bei's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Mr. Moss, I ordered the army to withdraw. Why didn't you obey the order and leave the city in time?"

Moss smiled nonchalantly and said: "Haha, I'm not familiar with the road, so I'm a little delayed. Let's go."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were quite surprised when they saw Moss.

Guan Yu remained calm, but Zhang Fei raised his voice and asked Liu Bei: "Brother, aren't these the Yousi people from outside the region? Why did they join our army?"

When Liu Bei was asked by Zhang Fei, he said with some embarrassment: "Third brother, you and the military advisor are not here. The war in Xuchang is urgent. It happens that Mr. Moss is willing to lead the Yousi tribe to assist me, so I agreed."

"I see," Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at the group of Gossamers and said in a bad tone, "Brother, please be careful. I think these Gossamers are very cunning, and I don't like them anyway."

Zhang Fei was outspoken and did not shy away from Moss and others.

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Yide, don't be rude. Mr. Moss and the others are indeed here to help big brother. In this battle of Xuchang, if they had not provided weapons to help defend the city, I am afraid that Xuchang would have been breached long ago."

Zhang Feiyou curled his lips and said, "We finally broke through. This weapon is not very powerful."

Only Mos and a few others among the Yousi tribe could understand Chinese. They looked a little unhappy when they heard this, but Mos was not dissatisfied at all. He raised his hand to suppress the attack of his companions behind him. Instead, he saluted Liu Bei with a smile: "Haha, the third general is really a sweetheart. We Yousi people respect such warriors very much. I believe that the attitude of the third general will change after he gets to know us better."

Liu Bei nodded silently, and then urged the army to set off back to Jingzhou.

In the city of Xuchang, Liu Xuan's army rested for half a day, and early the next morning, they launched the entire army to launch a clearing attack on the remaining urban areas of Xuchang.

However, to Liu Xuan's surprise, the remaining defenders in the city had long since given up on resisting.
Seeing Liu Xuan's army rushing towards him, he surrendered decisively.

After Liu Xuan asked, he learned that most of these soldiers were local recruits from Xuchang.
As well as some Jingzhou troops who were ordered by Liu Bei to stay and defend the palace.

These troops were originally Liu Biao's old troops, and they naturally did not dare to slack off in their task of protecting the Emperor of Han.

It's just that these only 3 people can't withstand the attack of Liu Xuan's tens of thousands of elites.

In less than a morning, the entire city's defenders basically gave up resistance.

The main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already fled the city.

Liu Xuan immediately relaxed.
The purpose of this battle is not to completely defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The main purpose was to besiege Xuchang and allow Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops from the Hetao Plain to come back for rescue.

According to reports from our own scouts, Liu Bei's troops in Chilechuan and Xianbei in the north have withdrawn, and Zhang Liao is reinforcing the city defense of Chilechuan.

As for Cao Cao's troops who were besieging Jincheng, they heard that one of their generals was dying every day, so much so that no one dared to serve as a general, so the troops had already withdrawn to Yanzhou.

[Notepad opens.]

[AD 203, Xuchang.You make a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, lead an army to attack Xuchang, and force Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army to return for reinforcements.Outside the city of Xuchang, you led an army of [-] people to engage in a stalemate with Cao Cao and Liu Bei's coalition forces for more than a month.At the same time, Yuan Shao was bribed with alloy steel armor to send troops to Yanzhou, and Lu Bu was ordered to attack Xuzhou. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were short of troops and had to withdraw their troops from the Hetao Plain in return.In the end, with your newly invented gliding wings, you led the elite Tiger Battalion to descend from the sky and invade Xuchang.The city of Xuchang was broken. Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew they were outmatched, so they waited overnight for the remaining soldiers to escape from Xuchang. 】

[Complete the survival mission: Capture Xuchang]

[Task completion: 100%]

[Based on the completion of the task, the following entries will be rewarded]

[Entry [-]: Language pack (blue); Entry [-]: War horse (blue); Entry [-]: Proficient (blue)]

[Combinable entries: proficient language pack; proficient war horse]

[Please choose a combined entry or a temporary entry. If you temporarily save an entry, the newly popped out entry will randomly replace the existing entry. 】

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment. This task rewarded three entries, and there was also an unfinished task [Long-lasting Peace and Peace]. As the Qiang and Hu tribe no longer lacked food and pasture this winter, it should be completed.

At that time, two entries will be rewarded, which may replace the existing entries at any time.

Liu Xuan knew that the combination of terms was never bad. The war horse was a good thing and deserved to be matched with more suitable terms.

Having made up his mind, Liu Xuan had a thought.
"Portfolio: Language Pack for Mastery"

[Successful combination, obtain proficient language pack (blue)]

[Do you want to open the language pack? 】

"Yes!"

[The language pack is opened successfully, skills acquired: Ancient English proficiency, Ancient Hebrew proficiency, Ancient Sanskrit proficiency, Ancient Latin proficiency, Kushan proficiency.]

Amidst a series of text prompts, Liu Xuan's body flashed with light, and his mind was filled with knowledge of various languages. After a long time, Liu Xuan finally sorted out his thoughts and found that he had mastered more than a dozen new languages ​​in his mind.

The functions of this language pack are a bit too powerful.

The original idea of ​​Liu Xuan's combination of proficient language packages was just to find the remains of King Ashoka.

After putting together this golden entry, Liu Xuan took a rough look at the map of Ashoka's ruins and discovered that the ruins were not in the Central Plains.

But somewhere in the South Asian subcontinent, that place should now speak ancient Sanskrit.

With this proficient language package, Liu Xuan also began to look forward to Ashoka's relics.

Closing the notepad, Liu Xuan knew that Bei Gongling was safe.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei also retreated, and Xuchang suddenly became their own territory.

But with Cao Cao's character, he should have taken the Emperor Liu Xie away before leaving.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Hu suddenly walked in in a hurry.

"Lord, it's not good. The soldiers invaded the Xuchang Palace and found that His Majesty had died in Weiyang Palace."

"What? Liu Xie is dead?" Liu Xuan couldn't help being shocked, "Who did it?"

Cheng Hu frowned and said, "It's either Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Before we attacked Xuchang, they were the only ones here. But..."

"But what?" Liu Xuan urged.

"When our army invaded the palace, they did not think of this. When the emperor's body was discovered, other guards in the palace arrived just in time, and there were also many ministers outside Weiyang Palace who came to see the emperor."

Cheng Hu swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Now, all the ministers and guards in the palace think that it was our people who killed the emperor." (End of Chapter)
