In the end, there were only five people left around Cao Cao, except for Xun You and Cao Anmin, only three soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion with extraordinary martial arts skills and good water were left.

Cao Cao himself won't say it, the escape professional household, the water nature is excellent.

Although Xun You's identity is a scribe, like most of the children of a big family, he has undergone excellent family cultivation. The six arts of the gentleman - etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are all that every excellent scholar must master, in addition to the scholar must also learn some skills according to family traditions and their own wishes.

For example, some big families have some relationship with the Mohist family of the hundred schools of thought, and the children of the clan will be exposed to some Mohist ideas or skills. Of course, most of the great families of this era respected the Confucian tradition.

The place where the Xun family lives is Yingchuan, and the land of Yingchuan is named after Yingshui, and the reason why the land of Yingchuan is rich is also due to Yingshui. Fortunately, Xun Yu learned to swim in his hometown with a dense river network.

As for Cao Anmin, his water nature can only be regarded as medium among more than ten people, and he can continue to follow Cao Cao just because Cao Cao can't bear to leave this nephew.

Why can't you bear it? But it's not just because Cao Anmin is his Cao Cao's nephew, to a large extent, because Cao Cao regards Cao Anmin as his closest confidant in his heart!

Confidants and cronies seem to express the same meaning, but in fact, there are very subtle differences between the two.

A cronie is a person who is close and trusted. Xu Huang, Lejin, Li Dian and others among the generals of the Cao army, and Cheng Yu Xunyou among the Wenchen strategists can be counted as Cao Cao's cronies, because Cao Cao is very close to them and quite trusts them.

But they are definitely not Cao Cao's henchmen! Even though they all have their own extraordinary talents and excellent conduct, which makes Cao Cao entrust them with important tasks, there is still a small barrier between the two parties, so that they can never reach the level of confidants, and that barrier is nothing else, that is, the way of loyalty between monarchs and ministers.

To put it bluntly, the military generals listed above followed Cao Cao only because Cao Cao was charming, capable, courageous, powerful, and ambitious! If Cao Cao didn't have these things, then they would never follow Cao Cao.

That's how they are kings. These people can saddle up for a generation of traitors, but they would rather die than serve a straw bag of rice.

But there are other people who follow Cao Cao not because of Cao Cao's eloquence, but only because he is Cao Cao.

Because he is Cao Cao, his surname is Cao, and the most important thing is that he is a member of my clan, and I have the surname Cao or Xiahou, so I have to follow him.

In Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan's hearts, the reason why they followed Cao Cao was to a greater extent because of this - the unchangeable clan blood relationship.

In this era of the rise of the family's door valve, the concept of the door is becoming more and more profound. Being able to help your own family is naturally better than helping outsiders. Of course, if this clan still has strength and ability, it is excellent.

In the eyes of these people, no matter how Cao Cao gains or loses power, he will always be both prosperous and lossy. So they served Cao Cao almost unconditionally.

And this is the way of their kings!

Two different ways of being a monarch and a courtier lead to a difference between cronies and confidants. If Cao Cao becomes mediocre, even cronies such as Xu Chu Dianwei will be discouraged by Cao Cao, but henchmen such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan will still respect Cao Cao.

Cao Cao can hand over all major military and political affairs to his cronies and generals, and even hand over his life to his cronies to protect him. But there are some things that cronies can never get involved in, just like sneaking out of Shouchun Palace last night, Cao Cao's red candle in a private house, Cao Anmin can arrange everything for him, but what if it is Guo Jiaxun and Xu Huangle into these cronies?

I'm afraid that if they don't talk about the arrangement, they are against it at all!

Confidants and henchmen are naturally responsible for intimate and warm belly things.

……

Cao Cao and his party, a total of six people, went down the river in the distance that could not be seen by the sentry post at the head of the city. First, try to break a small piece of ice with minimal movement, and let the two of them enter the water. Then every two people hugged a big stone into the water, and everyone except Cao Cao tied a rope around their waists.

When they got into the water, the five men who tied the ropes tied their ropes to the stones they were holding. Taking a deep breath, biting a thin bamboo pole in his mouth, he dived into the water in pairs.

The stones chosen by the six of them were not small, and the weight was just enough for them to hold on to and walk in the water. The six people walked or snorkeled under the ice about two meters deep near the river bank with stones in their arms, and slowly approached the mouth of the northeast river.

If they needed to breathe in the middle, the six people would free one hand, slowly poke the thin ice on their heads with a hollow bamboo, and poke out the bamboo mouth from the small hole to breathe.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, these six people only dared to change their qi seven or eight times. One is that the body loses heat quickly in the cold and biting glacial water, and if you frequently inhale cold air and exhale hot air, you will have to cramp and freeze after walking 50 meters.

Second, because the exhaled heat is too conspicuous, it's okay if the guards on the city wall don't look at it, but when they see that there are small pores in the river to discharge white mist, it will definitely blow up the nest.

So in the last twenty meters, none of the six people dared to ventilate, but Cao Anmin, who had the weakest physique among the six people, really couldn't hold on, feeling frozen and suffocating, and even stopped walking.

Xun You on the side just patted the stone that Cao Anmin was holding, and Cao Anmin came over with a quick opportunity, hugged the stone with wide eyes, and walked with his teammates.

It's the hardest time to get through the estuary. The so-called estuary of the river is just a large gate hole under the city wall.

Because Shouchun City can't help but be next to the water, but also next to the Huai River, which has a huge water flow. The Huai River is connected to the Huai River, which is far away from Shouchun City, and the Huai River passes through the city, so the Huai River has become the only waterway connecting the Huai River in Shouchun.

In normal times, the river also undertakes a part of the river transportation, so this water outlet is actually a pass in and out of Shouchun City.

Since it is a pass, it is not only necessary to have a sentry post at the head of the city, but also to arrange people to be on duty below. Especially at the moment of this mutiny, it is not good to infiltrate the Cao army or escape from the Cao army from here.

Fortunately, the timing and place chosen by Cao Cao were too good. The water flows from south to north, so diving out of the city from this opening in the northeast corner is just a good time, so you don't have to have to walk too hard underwater. Besides, it is early in the morning, which is the time when people are most relaxed. The most convenient way to act.

When Cao Cao and his entourage of six people dived through the mouth of the river more than ten meters long, the thin layer of ice that was originally in the way of the eyes tied up the six people, and a few Zhang Xiu sergeants who were just stunned did not notice the abnormal movement under the river under the light of the lit bonfire.

Just as the six of them were about to cross the mouth of the river, an accident happened.

The leg of a guard from the armed guard battalion who was walking in the front suddenly cramped, and it was difficult to walk anymore. At this time, the lungs of the six people were also supported to the limit, and they walked underwater for a total of more than 30 meters without changing their breath. If you don't breathe, you won't need Zhang Xiujun to come, and you will have to suffocate and fall into a coma.

Another guard of the Wuwei Battalion who was in his group immediately covered the mouth of the unlucky companion with one side, and smashed his other fist into his lower belly.

The hapless man was so punched that he spat out all the air in his lungs, and then the breath was broken into several bubbles by the hand he was covering, and the water bubbled up.

At the same time, Xun You also came over and tightened the rope around the unlucky ghost's waist, so that he was tied to the stone, and Cao Anmin was too busy to tie the man's hands.

Eventually, the unfortunate man's companion untied the rope around his waist that attached the stone to it, allowing the stone to sink freely with the unfortunate man.

It seems to be a long process, but in fact, it took less than ten seconds from the discovery of the cramps of the guards of the Wuwei Battalion to the treatment.

The stone allows two people to walk under the water, but if only one person is tied, it will only sink to the bottom.

The guards of the Wuwei Battalion, who had been forced to sink to the bottom, only began to struggle a few times, and then stopped moving. Just stared at Cao Cao's direction. I don't know if I was suffocated and unconscious, or I didn't want to mess with my "companions" anymore.

The stones were next to the sandy riverbed, slightly undulating the sediment next to it. Immediately after that, calm returned. It's as if it's just a speck of dust falling on the ground, without a ripple.

……

The dozen or so Cao army guards who were intended to be used to attract Zhang Xiujun's attention at the critical moment were not used in the end, and Cao Cao escaped from Shouchun City safe and sound. But walking in the icy river for so long, will it be infected with wind and cold, the life and death of the dozen or so guards is no longer considered by Cao Cao and others.

……

Zhang Xiu regained Huainan overnight!

In just one night, the 150,000 Cao army was directly reduced by half! Even Cao Cao's first cronie general, the ancient evil Lai Dian Wei, died in battle because he held on to the palace gate! As for the ordinary generals, there are countless losses!

Cao Cao himself disappeared, and it was not until two days later that Cao Cao and Xun You, who were in rags and hungry and cold, appeared at the Cao army camp.

In order to search for news of Cao Cao, Cao's army, which had lost more than half of it, still insisted on not staying away from Shouchun City, so Zhang Xiujun killed and injured a large number of soldiers and horses, and a large number of deserters appeared in the barracks. But none of the generals or advisors proposed to retire.

Because everyone knows that without Cao Cao to lead them, the Cao clan's power group is equivalent to extinction, and even if it lasts for a while, it will be meaningless.

Fortunately, Cao Cao, like several previous defeats, still escaped.

Cao Cao, who fled back to the camp, learned that Dian Wei had died because he was guarding the palace gate; and the news that Guo Jiaxu Chu did not go out of the city and disappeared on the night of the mutiny.

Cao Cao, who had lost the first fierce general and the first think tank, was only stunned for a moment, and then cried loudly. This cry didn't matter, even all the generals and colonels of Cao Jun who had lost Pao Ze's subordinates wept bitterly.

In the end, because he didn't eat grain rice for two days and two nights, he was infected with wind chill, and Cao Cao fainted directly from crying.

Cao Cao was seriously ill that night, and he couldn't be a director at all, and no one in Cao's military camp couldn't cry bitterly about the sad situation at the moment.

After discussing with Cao Ren, Xun You ordered all Cao troops to pack up and prepare to go north to evacuate Jiujiang County that night.
