Chapter 147 Cutting Cao's Feather Wings (3)
This time, all the sick soldiers of the navy could not help feeling as cold as ice.It seems that the previous praises that Cao Cao "loves soldiers like sons and caresses people like relatives" are completely false, and the praises that Cao Cao is "just, impartial, and impartial" are also completely false. He still favors himself from the north. The old people who came here!He deliberately wants to leave us Jingzhou sailors alone, and let us all be sick and wait to die!However, no matter how much resentment they harbored in their hearts, it was too late by now.I am already so sick that I am weak, so what can I do if I have great dissatisfaction?Pick up a knife and gun to rise up and resist, rise up to save yourself?I'm afraid that if others send thousands of powerful soldiers, they will be able to clean up our nearly ten thousand sick sailors in one fell swoop!
——An undercurrent of emotions mixed with despair, resentment, anger, regret, hostility, etc. is brewing, accumulating, and surging in the various barracks of the Jingzhou Navy...

In the far rear of Xudu, the news that Cao Jun's navy suffered a serious setback at the Huilong Bay of the Yangtze River caused an uproar in the court.Since the victory at Guandu in the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's "superior martial arts, invincible in the world" has almost become a "myth" that no one can break. The young general Zhou Yu smashed it in one fell swoop!This news quickly opened a thin crack in Cao Cao's majestic image in everyone's minds, and this crack is still secretly expanding.

In the Yuxian Hall in Shang Shuling Xun Yu's mansion, the doors and windows were open, but there were only Xun Yu and Yang Biao sitting across from each other, discussing the principles of classics with relish.

"Lord Lingjun, do you think there is a special way to teach people how to speak in "The Analects of Confucius"?"

Yang Biao turned to Xun Yu and asked in a loud voice, his eyes met him straight - but his right middle finger dipped the tea from the teacup on the square table and quickly wrote a line of writing on the table: "Cao Junshui What do you think about the teacher's setback?"

Xun Yu only glanced at the row of handwriting, then immediately looked up at Yang Biao, and replied loudly: "Yes, it is said in "The Analects of Confucius", 'If you can talk with words but not with them, you will lose people; You can’t talk with words, and it’s a slip of the tongue. A wise man doesn’t lose people, and he doesn’t slip into words.’ This is the wonderful way to teach people how to talk!” At the same time, he also dipped the middle finger of his right hand into the tea on the table in front of him quickly. Wrote: "Cao Jun's navy encounters setbacks, and the battle between the two sides will be stalemate for a while. It is precisely when the two sides are about to change their mechanisms. Whoever acts rashly will lose it because of impetuosity; whoever defends will lose it because of stagnation!"

Yang Biao saw it clearly, nodded slightly, stretched out his sleeves and put them on, secretly wiped away the handwriting written in water on the table, and still asked Xun Yu, "Master Lingjun's words are very true. However, Yi Biaozhi See, there is also a trick to talk about speech in "The Analects of Confucius". As far as it is concerned, it is called blind." Do you think so?"

At the same time, he dipped the middle finger of his right hand into the tea and continued to write on the table: "The prime minister's army is stuck in a stalemate, but General Ma Teng and his son echoed inside and outside, is there a chance to defend the emperor's house?"

After Xun Yu quickly read the handwriting written in water, he still replied loudly: "That's right. Yang Taiwei read books and scriptures with great concentration! Yu almost missed this sentence. Here, I will tell Confucius The meaning of the magic formula for teaching people to talk in "The Analects of Confucius" is summarized as follows: When the words can be in the middle, the words can be in the right, and the words can be in the middle, and the words can be in the mind. In this way, it can be called "able to speak". Please also Taiwei Yang advises."

At the same time, he dipped the middle finger of his right hand into the tea and quickly wrote: "I wonder if General Ma Teng has a chance to echo his son from afar recently?"

After Yang Biao finished reading it, he pondered for a while, then he laughed and said, "Master Ling Jun's summary is exquisite and concise, Biao has been taught. Biao asked today, how should the key points in the "Analects" teach people to conduct themselves in the world? I beg your lord to enlighten me."

While speaking, he dipped the middle finger of his right hand into the tea and wrote on the table: "Recently, Cao Pi and Cao Hong's monitoring of Ma Mansion seems to have been relaxed, and General Ma Teng can take advantage of it."

After Xun Yu watched it, he was secretly surprised: How could Cao Pi and Cao Hong relax the monitoring of Ma Mansion at such a critical juncture?Could it be that there is fraud in this?But he thought about it again, now that the opportunity is rare and the situation is urgent, it can be said to be fleeting. Even if Cao Pi and Cao Hong are conspiring to deceive, Ma Teng and his son should bite the bullet and try hard!He paused in his thoughts, and said: "Yang Taiwei, according to Yu's opinion, 'be slow in speech but quick in action, diligent in thinking and cautious in judgment, live in seclusion to pursue one's ambition, and do righteousness to achieve one's way', This is the whole summary of the key points in the "Analects" that teach people to conduct themselves in the world. Do you think so?"

While talking, he dipped his finger in the tea and wrote secretly on the table: "Since this is the case, you can give it a try. Seize the opportunity and echo the inside and outside, making it difficult to balance the beginning and the end!"

Yang Biao looked at the handwriting written in water, laughed, looked up at Xun Yu, and praised: "Master Lingjun's summary of the secrets of life in the Analects of Confucius can be described as 'simplified and rich in meaning, not complicated. Not redundant'. This old man really admires it."

While admiring, he dipped his finger in the tea and secretly wrote the last sentence of today's secret conversation on the table: "When the Kansai Mutiny first broke out, it was the day when Cao Cao looked north in a hurry."

When the two of them were discussing the secrets of righteousness and righteousness, in the corridor outside the "Yuxian Hall", a servant who was slowly sweeping the floor with his head buried in it sneaked a sideways glance into the window.Alas, today Taiwei Yang and Xun Lingjun are discussing scriptures and Taoism publicly in this hall as usual, and going back to report to General Cao Hong tonight, I'm afraid they will be scolded by him again...

Scorpion sting
Half a month passed in a flash. Although Hua Tuo, Gao Zhan and other medical teams were busy all day long, the epidemic situation in the Cao Jun Navy did not ease at all, but seemed to be getting worse—the number of sick people It is still rising rapidly, and the number of people with severe illness has increased from the previous 7000 to more than [-].

Although from the current point of view, it seems that the infantry and cavalry of the northern army did not catch the disease from the sick soldiers of the navy, but because of the unacceptable climate and unsuitable climate, many soldiers were frostbitten and frostbite.All of this made everyone in the Southern Expedition Army Office feel devastated.

Human life is very fragile in the face of major epidemics and diseases, just like reeds in the waves that cannot withstand tossing.During this period, Rao Cao Cao had always been physically strong, and Jia Xu had always been cautious in protecting himself, but they were also knocked down by the illness.Cao Cao caught wind and cold because he was patrolling the military camp one night, which caused his old headache to attack violently. He has been bedridden for the past few days, and every night he put a hot water cowskin bag on his forehead to keep warm. I heard other people come to the bed to report; Jia Xu suddenly caught a cold, and at first she had a runny nose, and then her nose gradually became stuffy, her head felt heavy, and her voice became muffled when she spoke.In the end, I felt like a big stone was pressed on my chest, and I was extremely bored and uncomfortable.

Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, etc. saw that the elite soldiers under their command were also suffering from colds, diarrhea, and lying down, and they couldn't help feeling anxious.Finally, one night, they couldn't hold back anymore, so they asked Mao Jie and Sima Yi to come to the bedroom of the left army division Jia Xu to discuss how to deal with it.

As soon as Xia Houyuan and the others were able to enter the tent, Jia Xu, who was lying on the couch, ordered the guards standing near the tent door: "Come on! Separate the guests' seats by a foot away from the military commander's couch. ..." Then, facing the suspicious gazes of Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun and others, he hastily explained, "To tell you the truth, according to Dr. Hua Tuo, the severe cold that this military division is currently suffering from can also infect others. Yes, a few days ago, two guards of this military division also got this disease. Alas... this military division can only respectfully ask everyone to forgive me for being rude!"

"Master Jia, you...why are you so sick? Do you want to see some Jingzhou doctors for follow-up consultation?" Cao Chun asked in surprise.

"That's not necessary. Doctor Hua said that what I'm suffering from is just a headache, stuffy nose, chest tightness and shortness of breath."

"This...Mr. Jia, don't be careless!" Sima Yi interrupted with great concern, "There is a jug of 'Zhu Yan Wine' for Yi, if you don't have enough, I will send someone to bring it to you later .”

"Thank you Zhongda for your concern. Now this 'Zhuyan wine' is precious, you should keep it for yourself." Jia Xu glanced at Sima Yi gratefully, then turned to look at Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, and Mao Jie Waiting for others, "What's the important thing for you to visit late at night?"

"Mr. Jia, do you think we should just wait for the sickness to die better, or go to battle and die to be honorable? Just give me a clear explanation!" Xia Houyuan always spoke freely and straightforwardly. Before he sat down on the seat, he shouted loudly.

Jia Xu was originally lying sideways on the sickbed, but after hearing what Xia Houyuan said and seeing their serious expressions, she couldn't help but hastily propped up her upper body and asked in amazement: "Why did General Xiahou say that? "

"Jia Junshi, look at the current situation, the soldiers will fall ill today, and the other will fall ill tomorrow, and if this continues, without Zhou Yu and the others crossing the river to fight, our entire Celestial Empire might surrender without a fight! "

Cao Chun also had an anxious look on his face, and he was quite emotional when he spoke.

"General Cao, don't say such unlucky words again!" Although Mao Jie was extremely anxious in his heart, he still instinctively felt taboo against Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun's unrestrained bluffing.However, facing Jia Xu's questioning look, he sighed deeply, and said calmly: "Mr. Jia... Now the epidemic is critical in the army, you have always been well versed in current affairs, and you have a good grasp of military opportunities, and you must act as soon as possible." Come up with a good strategy that can treat both symptoms and root causes to resolve this crisis!"
