Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 376 The First Battle of Jiangdong

Returning to his big tent, Zhang Ji took out a scroll from the medicine bag, looked at it for a while, then tore the scroll into pieces, and left the tent again.

As Cao Jun's hope to control the epidemic, Zhang Ji got the greatest freedom in Cao Jun's camp. He could go anywhere, even if he came to Cao Cao's camp, no one would stop him.

After a while, Zhang Ji came to Cao Cao's big tent, and smiled at the guards: "Please report to the Prime Minister, I have something to see!"

The guard rushed in immediately, and after a while the guard came out and said, "Prime Minister, please come in."

In the past few days, Cao Cao's mood can be described as mixed. The joy is that the epidemic has been brought under control. In the past few days, the number of newly infected people is less than a hundred, and the main fleet from Jiangling has also arrived and sailed into the water village smoothly.

The worry is that Zhu Ling's army was completely annihilated, and even the chief general Zhu Ling was unfortunately killed. This disrupted his plan and made him have to prepare to pay a tragic price to capture Jiang Xia.

But how?Where to start?Cao Cao has not yet had a clear idea, which is also one of his worries. He needs to find the enemy's weakness.

Cao Cao was pacing back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, when Zhang Ji walked into the big tent, bowed and saluted, "Meet the Prime Minister!"

"Mr. Zhang, please sit down!

Cao Cao smiled and asked Zhang Ji to sit down. Although Cao Cao felt that Zhang Ji's motives for coming to Cao Ying were not pure, but anyway, Zhang Ji helped him control the outbreak of the epidemic. Cao Cao was still full of gratitude to Zhang Ji.

"How is the epidemic situation now?"

"It's [-]% under control now." Zhang Ji leaned forward and smiled.

"Oh?" Cao Cao was slightly taken aback, "What do you mean, sir, there is still a [-]% risk?"

Zhang Ji nodded, "Unless the last patient is cured and there are no new patients within a month, then it will be considered completely under control. It is still too early to say a cure."

Cao Cao is silent, it is true. Although thousands of patients have cured hundreds of people, more than 1000 people have died of illness, and more than 3000 people are in between life and death. It is indeed too early to say that it is completely controlled. As long as you are not careful, the disease will come back , the disease will break out again.

"Then where is the next step, sir?"

Zhang Ji smiled, "I'm going to start to prevent and control the people who have never had the epidemic, that is, the high-level, including the prime minister, the advisers and the main generals. Don't take it lightly!"

Cao Cao deeply agrees that these advisers and generals are his most precious wealth, and none of them can cause problems. He nodded, "I fully support Mr.'s plan. From now on, Mr. can go anywhere in Cao Ying, including mine. sleeping tent."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your trust."

At this moment, a guard rushed over and reported nervously at the door of the tent: "Prime Minister, dozens of enemy warships were found on the river."

"What kind of warship?" Cao Cao asked a little nervously. Today happened to be the south wind, and he was worried that the coalition forces would start a massive attack.

"It's a small warship, like a black two-masted warship."

Cao Cao was relieved, and immediately ordered: "Quickly order [-] crossbowmen to support the water village!"

He got up and said to Zhang Ji: "I'm going to take a look, I can't accompany Mr.

At this time, Zhang Ji smiled lightly and said, "This black two-masted warship should be Jiangdong's warship. Does the Prime Minister know where the Jiangdong Army's weakness lies in water warfare?"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then turned back to stare at Zhang Ji with sharp eyes, but Zhang Ji acted as if nothing had happened, smiled and asked, "Would the prime minister want to hear it?"

Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "Very well, I'm all ears!"

. . . . . . . .

At this time, it has entered the early winter season, and the north wind and cold air invaded Jingzhou, ending the cold and rainy season for nearly ten days, and the sky became clear, but correspondingly, the Yangtze River is basically dominated by north wind , The east wind or south wind rarely occurs, but today the south wind unexpectedly appeared. Huang Gai took this opportunity to lead his army to Cao Jun's water village.

Huang Gai led [-] elite water troops and [-] two-masted fast boats of [-] shi. This kind of fast boat is also called a warship. It is wrapped in raw cowhide. It can not only use the wind to advance, but also use artificial rowing to drive on the river like flying.

This is the advantage of small boats. For large ships with a thousand stones, manpower cannot be used to row the boats, and wind power must be used. Therefore, in winter, large ships cannot cross the river northward, and it is almost impossible to see large ships over five hundred stones going westward on the river.

This kind of warship also has a special advantage, which is fire prevention. The hull is covered with raw cowhide, so it will not be easily ignited by fire. After the Jiangdong army was burned by the Jiangxia army, the warship developed rapidly in Jiangdong.

Behind the Huang Gai fleet, Zhou Yu also led three thousand stone warships to watch the battle from afar. The drums on the river were like thunder, and the thirty two-masted ships lined up in three rows, rushing towards Cao Jun's water like arrows. Village. . . . . .

Cao Jun's [-] main fleet has arrived at the water village on the north bank, and with the addition of more than [-] warships sailing from the Han River, there are more than [-] warships in Cao Jun's water village.

As the epidemic has been effectively controlled, the morale of Cao's army gradually began to recover. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the north of Cao's army practiced fighting on the river every day in the water village, preparing to cross the river and fight the southern allied forces for a decisive battle.

At this time, Cao Cao had already received an urgent report that an enemy army was coming to attack the water village. He rushed to the water village with a few trusted generals and stood on a big boat. Cao Cao looked at the river from a distance and saw dozens of small boats. He was rushing towards his own water village.

Zhang Yun came forward and bowed to report: "I would like to report to the Prime Minister that it is a warship of the Jiangdong Army. The Jiangxia Army does not have this kind of two-masted sailboat of two hundred stones. Each of these small boats can carry up to 20 people, so the enemy can't do it." There will be more than 600 people."

Cheng Yu next to him also reminded: "It happens to be south wind today, we must prevent the enemy from attacking the water village with fireboats."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed. At this time, he was confident, nodded and said: "Who wants to lead the army to intercept!"

Yuan Shaojun's generals Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch stepped forward and said: "We can also fight in water on the Yellow River, and we are willing to share the worries for the Prime Minister!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao praised the courage of the two men and said: "I will give you fifty fast boats and a thousand sailors to stop the enemy boats."

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch turned around and were about to leave, but Cao Cao stopped them, and whispered a few words to them, they both nodded, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we know what to do now."

The two jumped on the fast boat, Zhang Nan pointed at the spear, "Fight at the order of the prime minister!"

The gate of the water village was opened, and fifty fast boats went downwind to meet the Jiangdong army. At this time, Yu Jin had led [-] crossbowmen to the wall of the water village.

At this time, Cheng Yu stared into the distance for a while, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, it's a bit strange!"

"What strange thing did Zhong De discover?"

Cheng Yu pointed to the distance, "There are three thousand-stone ships behind, and the flags should be Jiangdong Army. This is the first attack by their coalition forces, and the significance is of great significance. Why don't you see Jiangxia Army joining forces to fight?"

At this moment, Cao Cao's heart was like a mirror, and he smiled slightly: "Maybe there is some barrier between them or suspicion of each other?"

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled, he felt that the prime minister seemed a little different today, and he was confident, did he know any news?

"I also feel this way in humble positions. There must be some problem between Jiangdong Army and Jiang Xia Army, big or small."

Cao Cao pondered intently, and he already understood in his heart that it was the Jiangdong Army and Jiangxia Army who were fighting for the dominance of the war. From the fact that the Jiangdong Army attacked alone, it could be seen that Zhou Yu was not convinced by Liu Jing.

There has already been a problem with the relationship between the two armies, but we can use this to create a rift so that the two armies cannot fight together, so as to find a way to defeat the enemy.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled, he had found the enemy's weakness.

. . . . . . . . .

Zhang Ji received Cao Cao's order to further relax traffic. He led more than a dozen military doctors and hundreds of cooperating soldiers to the Northwest Camp. This is the camp where the counselors were stationed. Reached, ranked last.

On the one hand, the living conditions of the counselors are very good, there are few people and clean, each has an independent tent, and they pay attention to personal tidiness, so the epidemic did not spread here.

However, under the cover of the nest, there are still eggs. Once the disease breaks out in Cao Jun's camp, there will be no escape. Therefore, Zhang Ji led the army doctors and soldiers to clean up and disinfect, and got great cooperation from the advisers.

The counselors all stood outside one after another, allowing the soldiers to fumigate and disinfect with wormwood in the big tent. After one big tent was finished, they went to another big tent.

Jiang Gan also stood outside his big tent and waited patiently. Since his last envoy to Qichun had no effect, he also had nothing to do and had nothing to do all day long.

When he came back from a mission to report, Sun Quan refused to accept the conditions, and Cao Cao did not doubt him, but Jiang Gan was always a little uneasy, and he felt that Liu Jing would not let him go so easily.

At this time, Zhang Ji came out of his big tent, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "It's ready, please return the account!"

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Zhang Ji whispered as he walked past Jiang Gan, "Pay attention to the table!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away and greeted the soldiers, "The next one is Mr. Cheng's big tent!"

Jiang Gan was surprised, watching Zhang Ji walk away, he hurried into his big tent, searched on the table for a while, finally found a note under the inkstone, he opened the note and took a look, it scared his eyes My heart hung up immediately, and it finally came.
