Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei abandoned?I cut Mrs. Humi

Chapter 89 The Plague Begins

At night, Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk and fell asleep as soon as he entered the tent.

Jiang Gan got up and called Gong Jin twice, but there was no response.

So, he tiptoed up, walked to Zhou Yu's desk, and saw a digital display under the bamboo tube.

Jiang Gan immediately took it apart and looked at it. After reading it, he was shocked.

It turned out to be the letter from Cai Mao who colludes with Zhou Yu secretly.

At this moment, Zhou Yu turned over and made a sound. Jiang Gan was startled, quickly finished the letter, and went back to sleep.

The next day, Pang Tong came to Zhou Yu's camp to offer advice.

Said that he had a way to get Cao Jun to connect the boats together, and then carry out a fire attack.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, but worried that Cao Cao would be suspicious.

After all, Zhou Yu was Zhou Yu, and he was also a good hand at trickery. He said to Pang Tong: "Sir, go to Xishan and pretend to live in seclusion. I will send Jiang Qian there."

"As soon as Jiang Gan sees your husband, he will definitely lead him to see Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will definitely not be suspicious."

After hearing this, Pang Tong laughed and said: "People say that the governor Jiangdong is a wolf every week, and his reputation is really well-deserved."

These days, Jiang Gan came to the camp to spy from time to time, but he happened to be spotted by the Marquis of the camp, so he arrested him and took him to see Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu heard what Jiang Gan had done, and said, "Ziyi, the two armies are facing each other, and you and I are the masters. There is nothing you can do about it, but it's wrong for you to spy on the military situation in my camp. In the camp, it’s hard to keep you.”

After finishing speaking, he sent someone to send Jiang Gan to Xishan for house arrest.

It is said to be under house arrest, and the guards are lax.

Feeling melancholy, Jiang Gan went out to walk in the courtyard, only to see a hermit looming in the forest.

Jiang Gan hurriedly followed, only to find that the man was Pang Tong.

Jiang Gan hurried forward to meet him: "Mr. Shi Yuan!"

Pang Tong pretended not to know him and asked, "Who are you?"

Jiang Gan quickly said: "I am Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi. When I was studying under Mr. Shui Jing, I met Mr. Shi Yuan."

Pang Tong snorted, and continued to ask: "So you are the disciple of Mr. Shui Jing, why are you here?"

Jiang Gan quickly fell to his knees and said: "Jiang Gan asked Mr. Shi Yuan to come out of the mountain and assist my Lord Cao Cao to create a great cause together!"

Pang Tong said: "Then Cao Cao has always been cruel, why should I assist him?"

Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "Mr. Shi Yuan doesn't know something. The so-called continuous interruption will lead to chaos. My lord also used some thunderous means in order to end the war as soon as possible and prevent the people from being ravaged."

"It's really a last resort. What's more, if the master is willing to help my master when he comes out of the mountain, my master will definitely follow the master's advice and reduce the killing if he is thirsty for talents."

After Jiang Gan finished speaking, he looked at Pang Tong expectantly.

"What do you think sir?"

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, then said: "Cao Cao has a reputation for brutality, I can't vote for him rashly, but it's not a bad idea to come up with a plan or two for him to take Jiangdong down first."

"At that time, I will judge his virtue. If he doesn't kill, I will consider whether to vote for him."

Jiang Gan was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and said, "Sir, please follow me down the mountain quickly."

Xun Yu hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, where Cao Cao was discussing with several generals how to attack Zhou Yu's warship.

Seeing Xun Yu coming in a hurry, Cao Cao stopped discussing and asked, "Wen Ruo, what made you so flustered?"

Xun Yu saw that the camp was full of his own people, so he said directly: "Prime Minister, something is wrong, there is a plague in the army!"

"plague!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.

In this era, the plague is a frightening disease. It spreads quickly, the cause is unknown, and there is no specific medicine.

The most terrifying point is that the fatality rate is very high.

Then with the large-scale spread, it will cause a very terrifying sharp drop in population, especially among soldiers and horses, and within a few days, the combat effectiveness will drop sharply.

As soon as Xun Yu mentioned the word plague, everyone in the camp couldn't help but change their faces.

Cao Cao quickly said, "How many people in the army are infected with the plague?"

Xun Yu said: "Since last night, a hundred people have been infected with the disease, foaming at the mouth, and high fever."

Cao Cao: "Is there anyone who got sick and died?"

Xun Yu: "More than 20 people have died."

As soon as these words came out, the camp immediately exploded.

In one night, more than 20 people died. It seems to be a very terrible plague.

Cao Cao: "What did the military doctor say?"

Xun Yu: "The military doctor went to diagnose and treat last night. As of today, three people have been successfully infected, and two of them have died."

Everyone was shocked again, this disease is so severe.

Cao Cao: "Quickly, put all the infected areas under martial law, everyone is not allowed to enter or leave, and anyone who violates the order will be killed immediately!"

"All the generals quickly return to the camp, gather the troops in the headquarters, and are not allowed to go out except for daily patrols, and those who disobey the order will also be executed!"

After all, Cao Cao is an experienced person, he knows the horror of the plague.

If the sick people are still walking around at this time, it will definitely cause large-scale uncontrollable infections.

Immediately, Cao Cao directly issued two iron and blood orders.

"promise!"

All the generals got up and left one after another.

Cao Cao was in a state of desperation, walking around in the camp, even the military doctor was infected and died, so how terrible is this problem?
"Hey, seeing our army is assembled, the navy is gradually proficient, and we are about to attack Jiangdong, but unexpectedly a plague has come. Is it true that as Liu Fu said, this battle is futile?"

Standing behind Cao Cao, Xu Chu frowned and said, "Prime Minister, why don't you ask Mr. Mu Shui?"

"Mr. Mushui can even cure the prime minister's headache, maybe there is a cure for the plague."

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, follow me to Mazheng immediately."

After the two finished speaking, they hurried out of the camp and headed towards Ma Zheng.

The two big villages of the navy and Luzhai remembered the sound of drumming one after another, and the military marquis quickly recalled his troops and horses.

Fang Jie heard the noise outside, and before he could send Xu Yun to see what was going on, Cao Cao and Xu Chu came to him anxiously.

"Prime Minister, General Zhongkang, why do you have time to come to me today?"

Cao Cao's complexion was not good, and he said hastily: "Mu Shui, quite a few, something serious happened."

Fang Jie was taken aback, "What's the big deal? The chain trick has started?"

Cao Cao: "What kind of chain plan? It's a plague in the army. Since last night, hundreds of people have been infected and more than 20 people have died."

Fang Jie understood.

Whether it is in the history books or elsewhere, during the Battle of Chibi, the plague in the army was mentioned.

This seems to be the same as God's favor for Liu Bei, forcibly bringing him back to life.

Fang Jie said: "Prime Minister, it seems that God favors Liu Xuande."

"Man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. This Liu Xuande has gained a talent like Zhuge Liang, and now even the plague is helping him. I'm afraid Liu Xuande will really rise."

"The so-called Longzhong confrontation, there is no way to break it, that's exactly what it is."

Cao Cao was shocked and said, "Could it be that this Liu Xuande also has a destiny?"

Fang Jie nodded, and said seriously: "I'm not going to hide it from the Prime Minister, I'm afraid that's exactly the case."

Cao Cao's face became more dignified.
