"Those people just want to contact Zhao Hui, and they want to protect themselves after the city is broken, so they don't need to worry about them."

It was normal for someone to secretly contact Zhao Hui, and Cao Cao didn't find it strange.

But those people have no power in their hands, even if they contact Zhao Hui, Xu Ducheng is not something they can offer if they say it.

It's just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, and Cao Cao doesn't care.

And Cao Cao now has a new decision.

"Since there is no chance of winning, I plan to retreat tomorrow and give up Xudu."

The abandonment of Xu Du was discussed before Cao Cao left last time.

It's just that later, Cao Cao has to fight again.

But now the last battle has also been lost.

Evacuating Xu Du is Cao Cao's last choice now.

"My lord."

Xun You Cheng Yu and the others shouted, they didn't expect that Cao Cao would really make this decision.

"Which of you would like to come with me."

Cao Cao looked at the crowd present.

"We are willing to follow the lord." Cheng Yu said with a full favor.

But there are also those who are silent.

Now that Zhao Hui is outside the city, it is not so easy to leave, and they all have families.

If they abandon their wives, they will surely be able to escape.

But if you bring it to the family, you may be caught up by Zhao Hui.

And Xu Du is now the national capital, so if he gives up like this, he has no face.

The Son of Heaven who has just ascended to the throne, do you want to care?

Do you want to give up together?

But if you bring the Son of Heaven, it means that you will bring a large number of useless people, and the speed of the team will be slower, and Zhao Hui will inevitably catch up.

"Lord, is there no other way?"

Giving up Xu Du was also a big injury to Cao Cao.

Xu Du is already his foundation.

This time, if you give up, it is equivalent to breaking the foundation, and everything Cao Cao has done in the past ten years has been in vain.

Even if Xun Yu Cheng Yu and the others followed him away, it would be more difficult for Cao Cao to rise again than when he escaped from Luoyang.

At that time, Cao Cao still had the backing, as well as his father, as well as Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao's friends.

And at that time, they had a common enemy, and that was the best time.

Now, even if Cao Cao leaves Xudu, but all over the world, the princes are standing one after another, and no one is willing to give up their land to Cao Cao.

Where can Cao Cao go?

"There's no way, I'm going to Chang'an." Cao Cao said.

"Chang'an?"

Chang'an, Xiliang, has also been discussed before.

Compared with other places, the current Xiliang side, although it is headed by Ma Teng Han Sui, is only these two people strong, and there are countless small tribes.

They were not completely convinced by Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Cao went to Chang'an, and there was great hope that he could seize Xiliang from Han Sui and Ma Teng.

"Ma Teng Han Sui has retreated to Chang'an, and now in the past, there will inevitably be a head-on conflict with them." Xun Yu Dao.

Xiliang is a good opportunity, but Ma Teng Han Sui is not a vegetarian.

Cao Cao now has no soldiers and no generals in his hands, what to do against Han Sui Ma Teng.

"It's Chang'an." Cao Cao said.

"When are you leaving?" Full pet asked.

"I'll leave tonight."

Cao Cao was resolute.

He didn't want to wait any longer until dawn to avoid another incident.

"I'll go get ready."

Man Chong didn't have anything else to say, since Cao Cao had already decided, then he only resolutely carried it out.

Don't say it's going to Xiliang, even if Cao Cao says that he wants to raid Youzhou, Man Pet will follow.

"What about you? Would you like to come with me? ”

"Cao Gong, where is the Son of Heaven?"

Xun Yu asked.

Where the Son of Heaven is, he is.

Even if the Son of Heaven is only five years old now, it was Cao Cao who supported him to take the throne.

After all, Liu Xie died too early and has no heirs.

"Let's go." Cao Cao said.

"Okay, I'll go get ready." Xun Yu said.

Others also said that they wanted to go back and prepare and bring their families.

In this prime minister's mansion tonight, they are all people approved by Cao Cao, and they all recognize Cao Cao.

Even if Cao Cao loses this time, they believe that Cao Cao can still make a comeback.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao's sons were also gathered.

Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and others all came to Cao Cao.

And those women of Cao Cao.

Although he doesn't have much affection for some women, Cao Cao must bring it to Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian.

On the city wall, Xiahoudun also received an order.

He didn't hide his identity, and mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses at the first time.

These 10,000 soldiers and horses are veterans among the 30,000 defenders in the city.

As for the recruits, Xiahoudun didn't ask for any of them.

Even now, not many people know that Cao Cao has returned.

Those officials who sent people out of the city to contact Zhao Hui were also kept in the dark.

The whole city is under martial law, and they can send a few people out of the city in a sneak peek, but they want to find out the news in the prime minister's mansion, but they don't have the ability.

In the city, teams of soldiers and horses were constantly mobilized.

In the houses on both sides of the street, the people sleeping in the houses heard the sound of heavy footsteps outside, and the sound of armor colliding with each other.

They were just wrapped in quilts, and no one dared to open the door at this time and come out to see the excitement.

I like to watch the excitement, but at this time, no one wants to lose their lives because of watching the excitement.

Outside the city, Zhao Hui hadn't slept yet.

He had just received several people from the city.

One by one, dressed in night clothes, holding letters in their hands that could indicate the master behind them.

Zhao Hui just opened and glanced at these letters, but did not read them seriously.

Cao Cao could guess what these people wanted to do, and Zhao Hui could naturally guess as well.

Even if someone said in the secret letter that they could cooperate with Zhao Hui to cooperate with the outside, Zhao Hui would not believe them.

It's not worth the risk at all.

"Did our people enter the city?" Zhao Hui asked.

With so many people going out of the city, Zhao Hui's people can naturally sneak into the city.

"It's already in, and there's no news yet." Zhang Wangdao.

"Then wait."

Zhao Hui is not sleepy yet.

Although all the secret letters I just read said that Cao Cao had not returned, Zhao Hui did not believe it either.

After waiting for a while, a spy finally returned.

"Report to the lord, the Cao army in the city moves frequently, and looking at the route, it should be heading towards the west gate."

Zhao Hui's army was stationed north of Xudu.

"To Simon?"

If you want to defend, you must concentrate all your forces at the north gate.

How could it be possible to disperse the troops to the west, Zhao Hui did not arrange a large army there at all.

There are just dozens of scouts, cruising the west.

"Go, please come over with Bong-hyo."

"Yes." Huang Kui took the order.

Guo Jia was only in his tent, still recalling the layout of Cao's army on the city wall today. You want to find the best attack point to reduce some casualties for tomorrow's strong attack.

Seeing Huang Kuilai, he immediately came to Zhao Hui's camp.

"Fengxiao, a large number of Cao troops in the city have been mobilized and assembled to the west." Zhao Hui said.
