Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 917 Invisible Monsters

"Why are the boats connected with chains?" After another five days, Cao Ren couldn't bear it anymore, because Cai Mao's behavior had made her angry.

Cao Cao wrote a letter, saying that the enemy might attack with fire, so he ordered them not to connect the ships.At the same time, tell them to be careful that Zhou Yu tricks them into killing each other, and to clear out the camp to avoid being hurt by the fire attack...

Cao Ren actually wanted to complain at the time. It wasn't the first time she led an army. Does it need to be so detailed?In the end, look at the Jingzhou Legion, what good things have they done? !

The isolation zone has not been done well, and now her soldiers are not allowed to approach the barracks. The key is that in the past two days, they have started to connect the warships with iron cables. It is said that the ships are more stable and the soldiers can control them better.

"A group of well-trained sailors, how can they use such methods?" Cao Ren cursed directly.First, I got lost in Dongting Lake, so I had to set up an formation on Wulin's side.In the follow-up, I went all kinds of mavericks. Why did I feel that the enemy didn't plan to use fire to attack, but I kept inciting the other party to use fire to attack?

"Captain Cao Jun, General Cai, please enter the account." Zhang Yun walked out slowly, his face was not very good-looking.

"What's going on?" Cao Ren felt that something was weird, so he couldn't help asking.

"There are some things that cannot be concealed... It is for your own good not to let you come to our side." Zhang Yun sighed, and then led the way. , At that time, I just thought it was the acclimatization. Who knew that the situation would get worse and worse, and more and more soldiers were uncomfortable..."

Following Zhang Yun in, just seeing the soldiers inside, he knew what Zhang Yun said was true.Most of them looked panicked, for fear that they would be infected with the disease.A part of the tents in the distance were isolated and separated, and the people who came inside were all sick soldiers.

"You're here..." When he came to Shuai Zhang's side, Cai Mao was also lying on the camp bed at the moment.In the past few days, I always have vomiting and diarrhea, which is very uncomfortable, and I have lost a lot of weight because of this.

"How come we haven't seen each other for a few days..." Cao Ren looked at Cai Mao in surprise.

"I don't know... At first I thought it was the wind and cold, but who knows it's getting worse." Cai Mao held back, but suddenly his stomach was churning, he grabbed a basin suddenly, and vomited it out with a "wow".

"The general has been vomiting and diarrhea for the past few days, he can't eat much, and his body is getting weaker and weaker..." Zhang Yun had to explain.

"Have you seen a doctor yet?" Cao Ren asked immediately.

"Looked for it, took medicine, but it didn't work..." Zhang Yun shook his head.

"Sorry..." Cai Mao said weakly, "Too many... Sailors... fell ill...so..."

"Because too many navy soldiers fell ill and were unable to control the ships, we had to urgently deploy some infantry to try to control them. But there was no way, they had no previous experience in operating ships, so we had to make a bad plan." Zhang Yun knew. Cai Mao worked hard and had to help to make things clear.

"It's just that, how are we going to fight this battle?" Cao Ren was a little annoyed. Back then, she was the one who advocated uniting the Jingzhou Legion to attack Sun Quan's forces together.As a result, the decisive battle has not yet started. At most, there will be a few small-scale water battles on the river in the past few days.

Although each has its own winners and losers, it cannot determine the general trend of this battle!

"But, you are not worried about the other party's attack with fire?" Cao Ren knew the problem of the Jingzhou Army, but she also expressed her concerns, "If you connect the ships in series in this way, if Zhou Yu attacks with fire... I'm afraid Can't fix it!"

"Haha..." Cai Mao smiled, "Winter... where does the southeast wind come from..."

"I discussed it with the general..." Zhang Yun helped to add, "There will be no southeast wind in winter, but the north wind. If the opponent uses fire to attack, I'm afraid it will burn me instead."

"What you said seems to have some truth..." Cao Ren didn't know how to refute for a while.

"The reason for inviting Commander Cao to come over this time is mainly to explain the situation. If the epidemic spreads further, our Jingzhou Army may have to leave first... If possible, it would be better to have a general attack in the next few days. Otherwise, it is estimated that we will be exhausted before we fight..." Zhang Yun said helplessly.

"I'll go back and discuss with them..." Cao Ren sighed, then turned and left.As far as the current situation of the Jingzhou Army is concerned, if it continues to deteriorate, it is estimated that it will really lose its combat effectiveness completely.Taking a ten thousand step back, it may even implicate the Yangzhou Legion...

"Southeast wind? Yes, it is estimated that in another ten days, there will be a gust of southeast wind from time to time!" Back at the camp, Gan Ning was called to tell Cai Mao's statement, but she directly refuted it, "I was in the Yangtze River before. Cruising here, in winter, it is indeed this period, occasionally there will be a southeast wind, mostly in the middle of the night."

"That is to say, is it really possible for the other party to attack with fire?" Cao Ren was startled. He didn't expect that Cao Cao was far away from Xudu, and he had already anticipated the possible changes here!

"To be honest, with the current Jingzhou army like this, if there is really a southeast wind, if the opponent is not yet able to attack with fire, then there is no need to continue to resist. It would be better to surrender directly." Gan Ning thought for a while.

"It's just what kind of epidemic is it that can spread so fast, and the key medicine is hopeless..." Cao Ren couldn't figure it out.

"My lord!" At this time, the military medical officer from the barracks came out.Originally, there was no such position in the army, but since the establishment of Dahan Medical College and the emergence of marching doctors, the position of military medical officer has emerged.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Cao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, and quickly asked, "It can't be, there is an epidemic among our soldiers, right?!"

"Epidemic? Our army has been in Yangzhou for a while, and the problem of acclimatization has long been overcome. And in winter, where will there be a large-scale plague? But the problem does exist, but it is a parasite problem!" The military doctor replied, and immediately Bring over a pitcher, "Look at it, General!"

Cao Ren looked down, but saw a few tiny worms wriggling inside the pitcher.

"This is... a parasite?" Cao Ren also knew something about it, but she was surprised, how did these insects come from, and why did the military doctor bring them here.

"Today, a medical officer from the Jingzhou Legion secretly came to me for diagnosis and treatment, saying that he had the plague. But the result of my diagnosis was that he was not sick, but his body was weakening. Instead, his abdomen began to swell slightly, with water sound, so I tried to give him Qiyeqing sticky powder according to the regulations, and the results successfully induced the worms." The medical officer replied.

"At present, the source of these parasites is unknown, but it is very likely that they are related to water... The key is, in a situation like this, it is said that the Jingzhou Legion..." the medical officer said slowly.

"Don't tell me that the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who were infected with the plague were actually parasitic diseases?" Cao Ren exclaimed.
