Chapter 63: Troubled Times

The Cao army, which was lucky enough to escape, had no respite at all, but Zhang Xiujun's general Qiao Rui came with thousands of cavalry to intercept it.

Of course, the direction in which the general of the Cao army fled was the camp outside the city of the Cao army, after all, there were still half of the seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses of the Cao army.

It's just that he was bumping into the embarrassed Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and other generals who stayed in the camp, and was told that the camp had been broken by Zhang Xiujun.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan Xu Huang and others returned to the camp outside the city after the night banquet, but found that there were only 30,000 soldiers left in the camp, and the commander only said that his subordinates went to neighboring villages to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the villagers, Xu Huang asked to recall the soldiers and horses, but the main general Xiahou Yuan did not care much, and even with his connivance, some Cao troops went out of the camp to enjoy themselves.

Just when Xiahou Yuan was organizing a warrior performance in the camp, there was an urgent report that the Beishan camp was attacked by Zhang Xiujun!

The Beishan camp is the place where the Cao army is stockpiled with grain, and it is the most important place for the Cao army. Xiahou Yuan did not listen to Xu Huang's dissuasion, and led thousands of light soldiers to the rescue. Halfway was ambushed by Zhang Xiujun's two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, although Xiahou Yuan was able to fight Zhang Xiujun's three generals Cheng Lian Wei Yue Hou Cheng with one person, but his subordinates could not stop the Xiliang iron cavalry and had to retreat to the camp.

Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the camp, Zhang Liao led the army to kill, although Zhang Xiu's army was only 30,000 horses, but he could not stand Zhang Liao personally commanding the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Camp. In the end, Zhang Xiujun broke through the Cao army's defense line with more than 400 casualties of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry pressed on it, and the elite Yongliang Army followed closely into the camp.

Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and others fought more than once, and the fire in the city did not stop and the chaos continued, and Cao's fighting spirit gradually declined, so Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang and others abandoned the camp and went to Shouchun City to meet Cao Cao.

At this time, basically all the generals of the Cao army finally got together, and everyone had no news of Cao Cao, so they could only stay away from Shouchun as much as possible, and collect stragglers while inquiring about Cao Cao's news.

……

In the early morning of the next day, in an extremely remote alley in Shouchun City, a tiger-backed man in a brown cloth shirt lifted another young man in white with both hands, his face squeezed horizontally, and his beard was open.

"My old Xu Pingsheng hates people to lie to me the most, you actually abandoned the lord and deceived me to protect you to escape alone, you are still not human, are you still worthy of being a courtier?"

The young man who was lifted his feet off the ground had a white face that was flushed, and his hands were dancing in the air to explain something.

Suddenly, the young man stared at the boss with his eyes at the mouth of the alley, and his hands stopped moving.

This change made the tiger-backed man vigilant, and slowly put down the young man dressed as a boy with one hand, and stretched out one hand into his arms.

For~

The sound of the bowstring tauting.

As soon as the tiger-backed man heard the sound in his ears, he turned sharply and threw a dagger towards the mouth of the alley.

At the moment when he turned around, the young man actually ran in the opposite direction.

The tiger-backed man threw a dagger, only to see the situation at the mouth of the alley, the cold wind blew, and there was only one mouse at the mouth of the alley.

The mouse didn't notice that a dagger was flying towards him, as if he was gnawing on something, and the next second, the dagger was nailed an inch above the mouse, and the blade was all sunk into the earth wall!

The rat who was alarmed immediately blew up his hair, and went into the hole with a smoke, but the tiger-backed man here also blew up: "Guo Fengxiao'er, and I deceived Lao Tzu again!" ”

……

A quarter of an hour later, Guo Jia was pressed against the wall by Xu Chu again, just your small body, and the labor-management cow can run faster than you.

Guo Jia suddenly asked with a serious look: "Tiger idiot, this son's ventriloquist is not bad!" ”

The honest boy Xu Chu subconsciously wanted to answer yes, but he didn't feel right, and suddenly threw it directly with an ear scraper: "The lord is gone, you, you still have the heart to play with General Ben, General Ben wants you to look good today!" ”

Guo Jia was directly slapped by this ear scraper and had a close contact with the wall, and turned his head back and suddenly said: "Good fan, good fan." I really should fan, if it weren't for me and Xun You, I would always like to find out what the lord did from you and Dian Wei, otherwise the lord should have let you stay in the guard last night. ”

"But it's okay now, it's good that the lord didn't let you stay in the guard last night, otherwise Zhang Xiu'er would have sniffed the smell and directly took the lord's head."

Xu Chu slowly thought about the meaning of Guo Jia's words, Guo Jia saw Xu Chu's anxious and sad look, but he couldn't bear to play with him anymore. Without a trace, he took off Xu Chu's big hand, patted Xu Chu's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, since you don't even bring it, it means that what the lord does is bound to be a big taboo, since it is very taboo, of course the lord will not act in ordinary places, and there are absolutely reliable people around him to guard." ”

……

Guo Jia's judgment is completely correct. On weekdays, Cao Cao asked Liu Guo Jia, Xun You and others to find flowers, and they also got flowers and grass in battles or critical situations, Xun You absolutely couldn't stand it. So in the past month, Xun You and Guo Jia often started with Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were scumbags in EQ and IQ, to understand Cao Cao's whereabouts, and either secretly did some measures or persuaded them.

For example, in Xuchang, Cao Cao often patronized a famous prostitute, and on the third day after Xun You learned about it, when Cao Cao went to look for this prostitute again, he found that he could not find anyone. The neighbors only said that a few men had come, saying that they were from the woman's hometown and picked up the woman and returned to her hometown......

For example, on another occasion, Cao Cao became interested in a young girl whose husband died violently on the night of her wedding, and visited several times at night. But the third time I went, I couldn't find anyone. It's just that after returning to Xuchang, he found that this girl appeared in Cao Cao's mansion.

That night, Caofu held a wedding banquet......

Knowing that Cao Cao is a person who is very "compatible" with "work and rest", Guo Jia is 100% sure that Cao Cao has gone to walk in the world again, and the object must be a figure who cannot be known to Xun You Guo Jia.

It doesn't matter who this woman is now, Guo Jia believes that Xun You, like himself, doesn't care about the identity of the woman anymore, the key is where is Cao Cao now?

……

Just when the generals of the Cao army outside the city speculated about Cao Cao's safety and Guo Jia in the city guessed where Cao Cao was, Cao Cao was near the north gate of Shouchun.

Cao Cao's think tank and chief logistics minister Xun You is also by Cao Cao's side at this moment, and Xun You after last night's dinner went to the treasury to prepare to evacuate the money and grain accounts after Shouchun. Just dodged the time when Zhang Xiu led his troops to besiege the gates of Shouchun Palace, Xun You, who was not chaotic, thought about it for a while, disguised himself as a civilian, and took a few guards to find Xiahou Xuan, who was in charge of the strongest armed forces in the city.

It's just that it's okay not to go, but when I went to Xunyou, I was almost killed by the chaotic Qingzhou soldiers as the people of Shouchun, and I was spared by hiding in the backyard of a big family by relying on my right-hand guards.

After hiding for a long time, he was suddenly smashed on the back door, and Xun You, who was hiding in the firewood room, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This family also has more than 100 Ding nursing homes, and the parents organized dozens of people to rush to the back door with waist knives and hoes, but the smashing door has already come in.

It was Cao Mengde and more than a dozen soldiers of the Armed Guard Battalion who came in!

After coming in, Cao Cao, who didn't regard himself as a victim, actually revealed his identity by himself, and also explained his current predicament very clearly.

The frightened family was at a loss, so they had to invite the patriarch to decide.

Cao Mengde bluntly said in front of the patriarch of this family that Zhang Xiu had led everyone under his command to do something, and said in person that he had fallen behind and was bound to lose, and Shouchun City would definitely not be his own tonight. However, Cao Cao said that he hoped that the patriarch of the family would give him a temporary shelter!

Cao Cao confessed so frankly, but the old patriarch didn't even think about it, so he decided to take Cao Cao and the others in! Xun You, who was so shocked that he was hiding in the firewood room and preparing to kill at any time to protect Cao Cao, was stunned.

The cautious Xun You did not come out to meet Cao Cao at this time, and waited until the family was indeed determined to protect Cao Cao and did not do anything bad in secret, and Xun You came out to meet Cao Cao.

That night, Cao Cao, Xun You and others slept near the gatehouse, so that they could escape the door at the slightest movement. Cao Anmin and other guards of the Wuwei battalion fought in the second half of the night, and the wind was loud. Even Xun You sighed and frowned, but Cao Cao, who was so careless that he was blackened by Zhang Xiu, ate and slept as usual, and slept soundly for two hours.

The morning in the depths of winter was still very dark, and Cao Anmin woke Cao Cao up in the early morning according to Cao Cao's orders. Cao Cao woke up and ordered everyone to disarm most of them, carrying only a sharp blade and waist knife, and put down the family guard who was guarding the door, and secretly left the family house.

At this moment, the search intensity of Shouchun City has been much smaller, and the front line of the city's defense seems to be strictly guarded, but in fact it is extremely lax. Most of the soldiers of Zhang Xiujun believed that Cao Cao had already broken through the city with Xiahoudun's troops, and the soldiers who had fought hard for a day and a night needed to rest very much.

So in this way, Cao Cao sneaked to the northeast corner of the north city, where there is a river through the northeast corner, Yuan Shu also led the water as the imperial city river of the Shouchun Palace, but built the Shouchun Palace, the imperial city has not had time to build, Yuan Shu has been defeated.

Cao Cao's idea was very simple, that is, to swim out of the city.

Although Huainan is located in the south, the cold winter wax moon has not yet passed, and it is the early morning when the temperature is the lowest every day, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the Huaihe River.

The city wall was guarded by Zhang Xiu's soldiers, and if they wanted not to be alarmed to get out of the city, they had to dive underwater and swim out of the city under the ice.

The situation is urgent, and there can be no further delay. As soon as the dawn arrives, Zhang Xiujun will change the guard and impose martial law, which will take at least three days, because there are still many Cao Jun's fish in the city that have slipped through the net.

Cao Cao, as the supreme commander of Cao's army, could not delay for a day. One more day of delay and the whole situation will collapse for one day.

At the critical moment, Cao Cao was not polite, and took out his honesty to the family last night, and bluntly said to more than a dozen guards of the Wuwei Battalion that people with diving skills or poor physical strength were needed to divert Zhang Xiujun's attention.

As mentioned earlier, most of the guards of the Wuwei Battalion are children of the family, and some of their martial arts skills are not as good as an ordinary Cao sergeant. The reason why they can follow Cao Cao's side is because of family interests and personal interests, in this era of the rise of the concept of family, these people have an extremely sense of belonging and responsibility to the family. So since the future of the family - Cao Cao has already said so, then do it!
