Soldiers come to the world

The east, south and west sides of the black pine forest were on fire almost at the same time. The fire was burning rapidly, and the raging flames were swept to the middle of the black pine forest by the wind. , Devouring everything in the pine forest, the pine resin fueled the fire, making crackling noises, the trees kept falling, and there were bursts of harsh thunderclaps.

The [-] Cao troops in the black pine forest were in a mess, rushing to the north where there was no fire.

"It's kerosene! Jiang Xia's kerosene!"

The pungent oily smoke wafted down the wind, and Cao Jun's soldiers were scared out of their wits. Someone was yelling miserably: "We are going to be burned to death!"

Screaming in fear, yelling when fleeing for their lives, screams and cries of being trampled on, Cao Jun's soldiers were in a mess, trampling each other, and the ground was covered with weapons, armor and rice bags. At this time, there was no one there. Then go to carry more than fifty catties of weight.

"Calm down! No confusion!"

Zhu Ling swung his knife and roared loudly, chopping down several people in a row, but it didn't work. At this time when life was at stake, there were no soldiers listening to his orders. At this time, several soldiers came rushing up, shouting: " General, Jiang Xia's army is outside the woods, you can't go out!"

Zhu Ling turned around and looked around. The south, west, and east sides were surrounded by fire, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. He suddenly found a gap in the southwest. Run away.

The fire was burning around him, and even the horses became crazy. Braving the scorching heat, they rushed towards the only gap in the southwest direction. Many soldiers behind him were also running towards this gap, but the fire spread too fast. Just as Ling's war horse rushed out of the gap, several burning trees crashed down, and there were screams from behind.

Zhu Ling stopped his horse and looked back, only to see that the gap had been sealed by the fire, dozens of soldiers were struggling in the fire, and there were a few of his own soldiers in the middle, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Zhu Ling, and a spear was like a poisonous snake, stabbing silently at his back. Zhu Ling was turning his head to check the fire, but he didn't know there was a sneak attack from behind, he suddenly reacted, Turning around suddenly, she saw Mayan's ferocious and hateful eyes.

'puff! ’ The spear pierced his body, the point protruding from his chest.

"Go to hell!" Ma Yan roared and threw Zhu Ling off his horse. Zhu Ling screamed and died tragically under the spear on the spot.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

When the fire was raging, Huang Zhong led [-] troops and waited for a long time on the official road and in the woods to the north. Huang Zhong immediately stood in the woods with a big knife in his hand, and looked coldly at the soldiers of Cao Jun who were fleeing. The expected sneer.

Huang Zhong has decades of experience in the military. He knows that in this kind of bone-chilling late autumn, when soldiers get wet from the rain, no one will sleep with armor. They will definitely take off their armor and throw cold weapons into the On the one hand, in this case, as long as serious chaos is created, soldiers flee in the chaos, and it is too late to put on armor and helmets. When they escape from the pine forest, they can only be caught without a fight.

And the best way to create chaos is to set fire, using the power of kerosene to make the fire burn at the fastest speed, but Huang Zhong didn't expect the fire to spread so violently that more than a thousand people in the southernmost area had no time to escape and were caught by the fire. swallowed up.

At this time, Huang Zhong saw a large number of Cao soldiers escaped from the pine forest. The time was ripe, Huang Zhong shouted sharply: "Surround the Cao army, those who surrender will be spared, and those who resist will be killed!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums sounded, and ten thousand Jiangxia troops surrounded them from three directions. In the dark night, there were swords and guns, and soldiers in armor formed a wall, surrounded from three sides, blocking Cao Jun's soldiers There is no way to escape, either kneeling and surrendering, or desperately breaking through, or returning to the fiery hellish pine forest.

The vast majority of Cao Jun only wore single clothes, bare feet, no armor, and no weapons. Under the murderous threat of Jiang Xia's army, they had no choice but to kneel and surrender.

But Huang Zhong did not find the enemy general, which made him a little strange. At this moment, dozens of soldiers brought a general of Cao Jun, who was limping and holding a bloody head in his hand. .

General Cao Jun knelt down in front of Huang Zhong's horse and said, "Ma Yan, the last general, was originally the deputy general of Cao Jun, but Zhu Linggong avenged his personal revenge and severely wounded the last general. Now that I have killed this man, I am willing to surrender to Jiang Xia's army!"

Huang Zhong recognized at a glance that the head was the head of Zhu Ling, the chief general of the Cao army. He was overjoyed, got off his horse and helped Ma Yan up.

. . . . . . . . .

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao’s camp was silent. 20 soldiers of Cao’s army were sleeping soundly. There were more than a dozen thousand-stone warships moored quietly in the artificial canal in the middle of the camp. The huge figures seemed to be standing in the camp. A rolling hill.

But Cao Cao's central army tent was still brightly lit, and several military doctors were nervously reporting the development of the epidemic to Cao Cao. In just five days, the number of sick soldiers increased from a dozen to more than 400, and even General Zhang Liao fell ill. Nearly [-] people died, and the epidemic developed across camps, which means that the epidemic has begun to get out of control.

Cao Cao was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking furious, he suddenly turned around and scolded: "It was you who told me to raise you bastards at the beginning that the disease could be controlled, and it only took five days to become so serious, can you tell me Me, how many people will I become tomorrow, eight thousand or nine thousand?"

The military doctors were all trembling and didn't know how to answer. The chief doctor was biting the bullet and said, "Please calm down, the prime minister. The main reason is that the autumn rain is continuous and the cold evil invades the body, making many soldiers weak and easy to be infected. Once the autumn rain stops, the sun will fall. Come out, and the epidemic will improve."

"Bullshit!"

Cao Cao was furious, "I'm incompetent, do I still need to rely on the weather? What's the use of you, let me push them all out!"

The soldiers rushed forward and pushed more than a dozen military doctors away. The military doctors were so frightened that they all begged for mercy, "Prime Minister, spare our lives!"

At this time, Cheng Yu next to him couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "Prime Minister calm down, we really can't blame them for this matter, if we kill them, the epidemic will be even worse."

Cao Cao held back the anger in his heart, and waved his hand, "Give them a life, and kick them out!"

The military doctors escaped the catastrophe, and they all rushed away, watching them run away, Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Prime Minister, in fact, they know the reason for the worsening of the epidemic, but they dare not tell."

"What's the reason?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and asked.

Cheng Yu sighed and said, "The reason for the worsening of the epidemic is related to an order from the prime minister. The prime minister ordered the sick to be burned together, which caused panic among the soldiers. Many soldiers were obviously unwell, but they refused to speak up until they became seriously ill. He was discovered, but at that time he had already infected many people, so the prime minister must cancel the order that the wounded die together."

Cao Cao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said coldly to Yang Xiu, the director next to him, "Pass on my order, and the co-death order can be announced and canceled!"

But Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu again: "But in fact, the sick must die together. While the sick are isolated, the news must also be isolated. Anyone who dares to leak the news will be executed!"

Cheng Yu smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't dare to persuade him any more. Cao Cao sighed and said, "Lian Wenyuan fell ill too, Zhongde, my heart is burning with urgency!"

Zhang Liao loves soldiers like his own son, so he went to comfort and take care of the sick soldier himself, but unfortunately he was also infected. It has been two days and his condition is getting worse, making Cao Cao very anxious, he is afraid of losing this beloved general.

At this moment, a guard held up a scroll of pigeons and said, "Prime Minister, news from Xuchang!"

"Bring it up!"

The guard presented the pigeon letter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao opened it and read it. The letter said that Hua Tuo said that his wife was ill and refused to come to Jingzhou. Ask for capital punishment!"

Both Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan next to him had been treated by Hua Tuo. They wanted to intercede for Hua Tuo, but they dared not say a word. They knew that the prime minister was going crazy now. Whoever dared to dissuade him would be in bad luck, although they sympathized with Hua Tuo. , But there is no way, who made Hua Tuo not interested, and refused to come and do his best at the critical moment.

At this time, Xu Chu appeared at the gate, bowed and said: "I want to report to the Prime Minister, Liu Jing sent an envoy to ask to see him outside the camp!"

Cao Cao was upset at this moment and didn't want to see anyone, so he ordered: "It's already midnight, take him to another tent to rest, and see him tomorrow."

But Xu Chu hesitated and said, "I would like to inform the Prime Minister that the envoy Liu Jing sent is Zhang Zhongjing."

Cao Cao turned around suddenly, he couldn't believe his ears, "Who is it?"

"It's Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing!"

Cao Cao was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't even bother to put on his coat, turned around and ran out of the big tent, and rushed out of the camp. Everyone looked at each other and thought it was inconceivable that Liu Jing would send Zhang Zhongjing here, which was clearly to rescue Cao Jun, but They didn't bother to think about it, and followed Cao Cao to the gate of Daying.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Outside the camp, Zhang Ji stood in front of the gate with his hands behind his back, followed by two medicine boys, who were waiting patiently. Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills were well-known all over the world, and even the soldiers guarding the gate respected him. Holding an umbrella for him, everyone knew in their hearts that Zhang Zhongjing was their savior.

Zhang Ji rushed to Chibi from Wuchang more than an hour ago, but Liu Jing told him that there was an epidemic in Cao Ying and asked him to go to treat it. This surprised Zhang Ji, and this was the first time he heard of it.

But Zhang Ji immediately understood that if Cao Jun's disease broke out, not only Cao Jun would suffer heavy losses, but it would also be a catastrophe for the entire Jingzhou. Saving people is equal to saving oneself.

He didn't delay, and expressed willingness to go, but then Liu Jing asked him a few words that surprised him immediately, he couldn't believe his ears, Liu Jing actually had other deep meanings.

Zhang Ji was a little nervous. He didn't know if he could play well the role Liu Jing entrusted to him in addition to playing the role of genius doctor well.

At this moment, the gate of Cao Ying opened, and someone shouted: "The prime minister is here!"

Cao Cao was the first to rush out of the tent, bowed deeply in front of Zhang Ji, and said with great gratitude: "Sir, you can come to save the lives of my soldiers, Cao Cao is grateful!"
