Seeing that Xun You was puzzled, Cao Pi continued:

"Do you think Zhuge Liang knows that tonight is the best time to withdraw the emperor?"

"The son of heaven is different from Zijian. If he doesn't treat each other with courtesy, but leaves the city hastily, if Zhuge Liang finds out, he will definitely spread rumors. What will happen to my father then?"

"If Zhuge Liang sends troops to stand by, once he finds signs of the emperor's withdrawal, he will send troops to surround him at that time, will we be able to hold back?"

Hearing Cao Pi's words, Xun You suddenly realized.

I only thought about withdrawing from the emperor, but I didn't expect that this matter couldn't be done carelessly!

When the Son of Heaven travels, even if he retreats, he must be completely different from other people, and he must perform all the etiquette! Only in this way can the prime minister's name of going out for the Han Dynasty be implemented.

If things are done hastily at this time, and Zhuge Liang makes a big fuss about it, those Han clans will inevitably complain.

"Then, in my son's opinion..."

Xun You lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Cao Pi continued:

"When the bandits attack the city, take advantage of the chaos and send the emperor out. Even if you don't treat each other with courtesy, the fault will be on Liu Bei and Xiliang's side. We are just forced to."

Xun You frowned slightly, and said:

"My lord, this matter is very dangerous. If Zhuge Liang finds out and kidnaps the Son of Heaven, then the loss outweighs the gain!"

Cao Pi smiled slightly and said:

"I also have some tiger and leopard riders sent by my father to protect me. Let the tiger and leopard riders escort the emperor out of the city. As long as there is no fierce battle, how can those stinky fish and rotten shrimps in Xiliang be stopped?"

Xun You was shocked and said:

"Young master! Absolutely not! If the tiger and leopard rode out of the city, they will never come back. Who will escort the young master then? I will never make fun of the young master's safety."

Cao Pi sneered:

"I've made up my mind, you go and arrange it, there must be no mistakes!"

Xun You was silent for a long time, seeing that Cao Pi had no intention of repenting at all, he had no choice but to bow deeply and take his orders to leave.

Cao Pi also slowly slumped on the ground with a look of distress on his face.

If Cao Pi is afraid that the Xiliang army will kill him, he must be afraid.

Who can really be not afraid of death?

But right now, there are more important things to do than your own life.

Cao Pi has always taken his eldest brother Cao Ang as a role model. Cao Ang died in battle to protect his father.

For Cao Pi at this time, righteousness is more important than life.

Even in the middle of the night, Cao Pi couldn't sleep peacefully. He stood quietly at the top of the city, staring at the surroundings to prevent the enemy from attacking at night.

In this way, the time passed by every minute and every second, and seeing the white belly of the sky, a slight sound of horseshoes woke up Cao Pi, who was a little drowsy.

"The thief army is coming!"

Cao Pi suddenly stood up and shouted in a low voice:

"Soldiers obey orders and strictly guard the city defense!"

With an order, the archers who had been waiting for the whole night ran to the top of the city and aimed at the open space in front of them.

Soon, a large number of cavalry emerged from the dense forest not far away, led by Ma Teng, Han Sui and others!

Immediately afterwards, the three of Liu Guanzhang appeared leading the army!

Seeing Liu Bei's benevolent and benevolent appearance, which seemed harmless to humans and animals, a fire of ignorance surged in Cao Pi's heart, and he shouted in a low voice:

"Liu Bei! It's in vain for you to call yourself the emperor's uncle, and you are doing such a rebellious thing right now!"

"Now you and the Xiliang bandits have joined forces to lead an army here, do you want to plot rebellion?"

"As the emperor's uncle, how much convenience have you done, how many favors have you enjoyed from the emperor?!"

Saying these words is actually useless at all, Cao Pi knows this very well, but it is a point to be able to delay at the moment. Right now, time is what Xuchang lacks most.

Liu Bei sneered and responded:

"Cao Pi, Cao Ziheng, if you say it's a bandit, your father Cao A pretended to be the number one, who dares to be the second? How dare you speak so boldly here?"

"Your Cao family is the second Dong Zhuo!"

"Now that the emperor is in trouble, your Cao family is almost reduced to a puppet. Your Cao family is the usurper of the Han Dynasty. I am here to fight for the Han Dynasty!"

When Liu Bei heard Cao Pi's words, his expression remained unchanged, and he yelled at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi is not deeply involved in the world, so how can he beat the wily and calculating Liu Bei.

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Cao Pi was a little embarrassed, and shouted in a low voice:

"You big-eared thief, you dare to turn black and white and shoot arrows! Resist the thief army outside the city!"

With an order, the archers who had already been ready to shoot immediately released their arrows, and the rain of arrows rushed towards them.

What Liu Bei is best at is to say these righteous words. If he is allowed to continue to speak now, I am afraid that the morale of Xuchang's defenders will be directly destroyed.

Being well-known as a teacher is the main reason that can guarantee high morale. No one wants to be labeled as a bandit.

Liu Bei had already expected that Cao Pi would be angry, so he waved his hand.

In an instant, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others who had been ambushing on the side led the army to kill, and the shield soldiers rushed towards Xuchang City against the rain of arrows in front.

It was as if the long-silent gunpowder magazine had been ignited, and the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of fighting and the sound of war drums.

Although Xuchang's troops were small, they had the advantage of defending the city after all. For a while, the Xiliang Army and the Shu Army could not get close to the city wall.

Arrows rained all over the sky, and the soldiers standing in front of them fell down one after another, but soon someone came up.

The quantity is too big!

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers! How can I kill them all!

Soon, the Xiliang army arrived at the bottom of the city wall, and climbed up the ladder that had been prepared.

Seeing this, the defenders quickly threw down the rolling stones and logs.

"Rocket!"

Seeing that the defenders were gradually declining, Cao Pi gritted his teeth and gave an order.

At this point, I can't manage so much anymore! Even if the outside of Xuchang City becomes a sea of ​​flames, we must try our best to hold on to every moment.

All of a sudden, flames were everywhere, and the entire periphery of Xuchang was like hell, with blood flowing like rivers.

But even if the rockets were used, it would only temporarily slow down the progress of the Xiliang army.

The Xuchang defenders who kept shooting arrows and throwing rolling stones were human after all, and soon many soldiers lost their strength.

However, after waves of defense changes, there are simply not enough manpower!

Now the Xiliang army has surrounded the whole of Xuchang by relying on their large numbers, and the four city gates are completely blocked.

Manpower is tight! !

Soon, the first Xiliang army boarded the city.

The defenders were unable to resist, and casualties began to appear.

Corpses were dropped from high altitude one after another, falling to the ground and turned into meat paste. Occasionally, a few enemies fell from the ladder, exhausting the last afterglow.

Cao Pi stood on the top of the city himself, took out his sword and slashed one enemy after another, and soon became exhausted.

"It's over, according to this speed, I'm afraid Xuchang will be broken in half an hour!"

Thinking of this, Cao Pi clenched the saber in his hand, yelling inwardly.
